What's poppin, Ro?
"I am the shit.. they just poop stains.."
For this week's intro line, I figured I'd go with some Weezy F Baby (no abortion). It was such an eloquent line, and it really fits well, so BAM, there it is. What's poppin, ladies and gentlemen? You could be anywhere else in the world this evening, but you wouldn't be as happy as you are right now. Welcome back to yet another edition of the column that tries to teach people the ways of the cold, cruel world.. Hustle Is Posting Right Now. I'm your favorite red-clad columnist, Hustle, and I'll be your host for these festivities. Grilled Cheese Sammiches are available to your left, and for our beverage menu, it's nothing but Drink.. Grape Drink, Orange Drink, Red Drink, and Blue Drink. Enjoy. Without any further adieu.. I think it's about that time. Shall I proceed? (Yes, indeed.) Less dew eet!!
Damnit.. I had an entirely different column worked on for this week, but my memory stick fucked me with no lube, and the next thing I knew, that column had disappeared into thin air. I'll work on it again for a future HIPRN edition, but because I had to do something at damn near the last minute (I had to type all of this out in an hour or two), I went with what would take the least amount of time. Yup, you guessed it.. it's time.. yet again.. for Ask Hustle. I'm actually a little upset, as I didn't want to do another AH for another couple weeks, at the least, but it was either this or another repost, and that's an even shittier deal than this. Without any further adieu, let's go ahead and open the mailbag:
Is a true platonic friendship at all possible? (Brandy)
I've been dealing with questions like this from people for the last 14 or so years of my life. Different people with different views will give you different answers, but allow me to give you the truth..
Of course it's possible.
It's very possible for a guy and a girl to be friends and to not have romantic or lustful feelings towards one another. I know a lot of people feel otherwise, and, to be honest, they get sexual feelings confused with feelings of love. A guy is more likely to say that he'd have sex with his female friends than a girl saying she'd have sex with her male friends. That doesn't mean every guy would like to have sex with every one of his female friends. I'm just saying you're more likely to get a "yes" answer from the guy in that particular scenario. That doesn't mean the relationship isn't platonic, though. To have a platonic relationship means that love isn't in the mix, and you're not having sex. Just because Guy A would have sex with Gal A, that doesn't mean Guy A is having sex with Gal A. It doesn't even mean that Guy A is trying to have sex with Gal A. It just means that guys are simpler creatures with simpler desires, and if the option was presented to us, we'd be quick to take it. Semi-play on words FTW.
Unless every guy reading this has certified Pimp Status, or every girl reading this is a complete whore, all of us are involved in a platonic friendship right now. Most of us are involved in more than one, as a matter of fact. Unless you're someone like "J" (I've mentioned him in my columns before) and you're in love with the idea of being in love, that is. You know the type of people I'm referring to.. the type that has been "in love" more times than the number of years they've been alive. The type that thinks every relationship they're in is "the one". The type that thinks they're "falling" when they've only known the person for a week or two (and may not even have ever met the other person in "real life"). Those people.
Seriously, people, it's not that difficult to be in a platonic friendship. Let's not pretend that it is.
What the hell is going on with Triple H and Randy Orton? (John Doe)
This is "Super H" dominating people like he always does when he's a face. As a face, Triple H is no better than WCW-era Hulk Hogan when it comes to the level of ridiculous dominance that he has. Hell, because I had four different people mention it within the last two weeks, Triple H as a face is oodles of noodles worse than any so-called "dominance" that John Cena has had in his entire run with the company. Would Cena have beaten Randy Orton? Perhaps, but one way or another, he would've made Orton look really good in the process. Triple H has made Orton look like a steaming turd. Not a nicely packed, single color turd that you drop while reading the latest issue of Time, either. I'm talking about those late-night-trips-to-Taco-Bell-and-you-ate-too-much-so-you-spend-the-next-several-hours-on-and-off-the-toilet-and-going-through-an-entire-roll-of-toilet-paper-because-your-turds-are-wet-and-multi-colored-with-a-Brillo-pad-look-to-them turds that you drop while rocking back and forth on the toilet, cracking the seat in the process, while you sweat a puddle onto the bathroom floor. Those are terrible.
If you didn't know any better, you'd think Orton was a week or two away from being the next member of WWE's exclusive "Future Endeavors" club. Triple H made Taka Michinoku look like a much more legit contender than he's making Randy Orton look right now. Some people think this is Trips' way of making himself look "better" than Raw's other top face, John Cena. They look at the way Cena has been booked in recent months as "proof" of that line of thinking. Some people think this is no more than some sort of punishment for something that Orton did. Some people think this is just a poorly-booked start to a feud that will even out a bit more in coming weeks, perhaps even with an Orton victory at WrestleMania. Personally, I don't know what it is, because it just doesn't make any fucking sense whatsoever. I do think Trips gets insecure when his "spot" is threatened, but I'm not going to say Cena is the reason for this booking. Again, it just doesn't make any sense for Orton to be booked to look this bad for this long. Not only that, but it's severely stunting the growth of both Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes. No, Cody wasn't growing a whole lot to begin with, but that's not really the point here.
Now that I've said all this, though, don't be surprised if Orton completely destroys Trips single-handedly on Raw this week.
Are you any good at online gaming? (Steve)
I'm guessing, by "online gaming", you mean "playing PS3 and/or XBox 360 online", since I recently began posting my PSN tag in my columns. If that isn't what you mean.. well.. deal with it.
As far as Madden 09 goes, it took me a couple games to get used to the lag that would take place, as well as the opponent not having the same tendencies that a computer opponent would have. I got off to a bit of a rough start with my offense, and it cost me a couple games, but I'm still working on that. My defense is still pretty good, but I'm just working on getting all of my offensive timing down. I've only got a total of 20 or so games in my brief online career, so I'm a no0b, I suppose.
Street Fighter 4 is a pretty similar story. The lag cost me my first handful of matches online, but after getting the timing down a little bit, I improved big-time. I don't play that much, but my battle points are at about 1100 at the moment. "C", on the other hand, plays it all the time (holla at him.. C-Pak69.. tell him Hustle sent you), and he's in the 2200-point range at the moment. Like I said, he plays that game all the time, and he's always looking for people to face, so he'd be the better bet to add to your friends list, but I'll definitely take on anybody that wants some.
In your opinion, what is the best storyline going in wrestling today? (Alex Alvarez)
I thought about choosing the current shenaniganery between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker here, but after thinking it over, the awesomeness of that storyline is for the hope of what could be, and not what has already happened. For that reason, I went with what's going on involving Chris Jericho and various wrestling legends.
As I mentioned in my "Commandments" column, Jericho is the best heel going today. His work, both in the ring and on the mic, is nothing short of brilliant. Everything he's been saying about the legends is based on some sort of truth, which makes him even more awesomer. At this point, it almost doesn't matter where this storyline is leading.. a match against Jerry Lawler at WrestleMania, a match against Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania, a match against Ric Flair at Raw and/or WrestleMania, or something nobody has mentioned yet.. it's just a total joy to sit back and watch.
If you ask me the weekend of WrestleMania, though, I could very well say the HBK/Taker storyline. I'm hyped for that match beyond any words I could come up with.
Got an early prediction for a WrestleMania 26 main event? (Benjamin)
Is it too early to say John Cena VS Randy Orton? That one-on-one matchup has got to main event a WrestleMania one of these years, you'd think. Those two names will be connected until they're both no longer with us. They came in at about the same time, they've feuded with each other in the "minors" and on the "main stage", have somewhat of a similar look, and are even good friends outside of the ring. Because of all that, I'm surprised we haven't already had that one-on-one matchup at "The Granddaddy Of Them All".
Then again, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels have been in the same company for nearly two decades, and we're only now getting their first matchup at a WrestleMania. Both Cena and Orton have plenty of gas left in their tanks. They'll be around for a long, long time (Hi, Haters). They could be the main event of WrestleMania 35, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
I think John Cena VS Jeff Hardy could be a nice match next year in Arizona. I've mentioned that several times now, but that's a really big Face VS Face match that hasn't happened yet. It may be more of a SummerSlam feud, though, as I don't know if the company has the right amount of trust and faith in Jeff to place him in the marquee match at a WrestleMania. We shall see, of course.
Are you for or against Nigel McGuinness being RoH Champion for so long? (Alvin D.)
For those of you that don't know, Nigel McGuinness has been the RoH World Champion for the last 524 days, as of today, March 13th. In that time frame, Edge could win and lose a World Title approximately 400 times, putting the record for most title reigns completely out of reach.
I'm for Nigel's lengthy reign as champion for a couple different reasons. First of all, I'm a fan of his. More importantly, though, is the fact that it makes the belt worth more, and it makes the person who finally takes the belt from Nigel seem like an even bigger deal than they already will be.
Making your company's top title as important as possible is a fundamental aspect of pro wrestling, and it's something that isn't done these days like it used to be. With title reigns like Edge has, it does nothing but devalue the belt, as well as the people fighting for it. If you beat Edge for the title, it doesn't matter, because he loses a lot. If Edge beats you for the title, he probably had a lot of help in doing so, and you'll just get the belt back in a few short weeks. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The IWC can be a strange group of people sometimes. They complain when titles change hands too often, yet they also seem to complain when so-and-so holds the title for "too long", saying he's "stale" and "needs a change". Some of you fuckers are really tough to please.
What are your opinions on fraternities and sororities? (Hunter Garrison)
First and foremost, let me start this answer by saying one thing, and that is stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason.
With that said, I don't like them, for the most part. There isn't much about them that's even remotely worth liking, unless you happen to be a member yourself, and even then, you're blinded by bias, anyway, so your opinion doesn't matter as much as it would otherwise. There are a few different reasons for the way I feel, some which are more important than others, but to start things off, there's an aura of "we're better than you" that jumps off from the get-go. Exclusive "clubs" and their elitist nature are all like that, whether their members would like to admit it or not, and this is no different, especially when there's usually no real deep-rooted criteria for who makes it and who doesn't. Sometimes, there isn't any criteria whatsoever, which really counters the "we're better than you" mentality, since every Joe Schmoe or Jane Plain can be members.
Second of all (and this goes for celebrities, as well).. if you constantly need to mention the charity work you do, it devalues the work tremendously. Those celebrities who need TV cameras to be there when they do five minutes of work, only to leave when the cameras are shut off, are completely full of shit and are only doing it to build up their public relations and to get a bunch of brownie points from other people. If you're doing volunteer work or charity work to gain something more for yourself than just spiritual fulfillment, there might be a problem. The only time there's an exception to this rule is really when you're sentenced to do some type of community service by a judge of some sort. The best types of charity work are the ones that we, the public, will never end up hearing about.
Also, if you're really into getting shit-faced on a regular basis, you should probably admit as much. I know a lot of people that either are in frats/sorors, or have been in them at one point in their lives. Most of them barely remember what they did last week because of how clouded their brains are, but they'll never admit that partying was that big of a deal for them. Look, I get it.. college is the first time that a lot of people get to be away from Mommy and Daddy, so they're going to party it up, try new things, and cram as much as they can into as short of a time as possible. That's fine, but if you're an alcoholic, admit to being one. If you're a pothead, admit to being one. Hell, a lot of you wanted to join these groups just so you could have parties to attend every other day. Stop fronting and saying otherwise.
Again, stereotypes and stereotypes for a reason. Not all frat/soror members are the scum of the earth, but there are enough of them out there that are for the label to be carried by everyone, fairly or unfairly.
South Park or Family Guy? (David Backman)
If you would've asked me this question a couple years ago, my answer would've been Family Guy, and I wouldn't have needed a second to think about it. From the very first episode, I've been a big-time Family Guy fan. Seen all the episodes, bought all the DVDs, etc.
In recent times, though, my answer would probably have to be South Park. I still watch Family Guy, but the show just isn't as funny as it used to be, even though it does still have its shining moments. They rely too much on recycled jokes from previous episodes, in my opinion, and it hurts the overall level of comedy. South Park has been up-and-down a lot in recent seasons, as well, but they've been much steadier in their levels of comedy.
I do think that Stewie Griffin is a funnier overall character than Eric Cartman, but that's a different conversation altogether. I'd still rank Cartman as a close second place, though, because he's as hilarious as ever, but Stewie just has a few more classic moments on FG, while Cartman has to share his classic moments with Butters, Randy Marsh, and the rest of the SP cast.
Somewhat related to this topic.. I still can't believe how far The Simpsons has fallen in recent years. There was a time when the show was probably the funniest in all of television, not just in the world of cartoons. It had classic characters, memorable moments, easy catchphrases, hilarious storylines, and edgy humor. Now, it's just 30 minutes of yellow people (calm down, Asia, I don't mean you folks). Even without comparing it to South Park and Family Guy, the show isn't very good anymore, but when you do compare the shows, it's a blowout like none other.
Is the Divas Battle Royal at WrestleMania a good idea? (John Doe)
I'd say it's a pretty good idea, for a couple different reasons.
For those that would like to watch the match, it's going to be a nice display of T&A (hopefully tits & ass, not Test & Albert), and it'll also be fun to see the Divas from years past make their return to the company, even if it's only for one night.
For those that would not like to watch the match, it's going to be the best chance to handle your restroom needs, as well as refilling your chip bowl, squeezing one out, or whatever the hell it is you do during your pay-per-view watching at home. I guess the same goes for those in attendance at Reliant Stadium, but that makes squeezing one out considerably more difficult.
Seriously, though, I see no problem with a match like this taking place at WrestleMania. Every event, from the smallest house show to the biggest pay-per-view, needs proper pacing, or they risk wearing the live crowd out and losing them early. A match such as this one is a mighty fine way to keep that pacing on the right level. Place it in between the World Title and WWE Title matches, allowing the fans to "catch their breath" and prepare themselves for the following match.
Mae Young should win, though. She'll destroy everyone. Well, a lot of that has to do with the fact that she'd be in a whole lot of trouble physically if she were tossed over the top rope, but the point stands as stated. If she isn't in the match, then it's a free-for-all, and I won't have a prediction for a while.
Do you think JBL is a future WWE Hall Of Fame inductee? (Aaron K.)
As a matter of fact, yes, I do think JBL is a future Hall Of Fame inductee. I know a lot of people will disagree with that opinion, and I can see why people would think that way, but there are plenty of folks that have already been inducted that haven't done as much in the wrestling business as JBL.
Is JBL one of the absolute greatest wrestlers of all-time? No, he's not, but he's had a long reign as one of the top heel workers in the entire company, has had 24 total title reigns with the company (a number inflated by the "24/7" rule involving the old Hardcore Title), and is only one of ten men in history to be a Grand Slam Champion (and the other nine men are either already in the HoF or will be when all is said and done).
What will be the biggest key to his induction, though, is his loyalty to the company. He's close with the McMahon family, is the brains behind the annual Tribute To The Troops show, hasn't had any well-documented problems with putting other people over, and will probably continue working for the company after he retires, whether it's as a commentator or as an agent of some sort.
He's definitely a future HoF'er.
Mike Tenay VS Don West? Seriously? (SawxIn09)
Hey, that's two questions, you sneaky bastard.
I just posted about this topic in the "Don West" thread at LoPForums.com (cheap plug), but I'll mention it here.. the idea of having a heel commentator and/or a face commentator is dumb, in my opinion. Personally, I just want one or two guys to call the matches, and that's it. They don't need to become characters themselves, and they damn sure don't need to start feuding, which may or may not lead to an asshole-awful match between them.
Tenay and West, as the bestest of friends, were distracting as all hell when they called matches. They spent too much time speaking to each other, and not to us, the viewers. Now, they spend too much time bickering and acting like little bitches, and it takes away from the action, which, more often than not, needs all the help it can get to begin with. Watching Impact with your TV on mute makes for a more enjoyable viewing. Not much more enjoyable, but more enjoyable nonetheless.
One of TNA's problem is that they have too many annoying people that hold microphones on their shows. Tenay, West, and Borash are all gawdawful. Lauren isn't bad at all, but having her as the lead commentator would be.. well.. silly. I've seen the idea tossed around on teh intarwebz of having Kevin Nash be on the commentary team once he retires from being an in-ring performer. Honestly, I don't really mind that idea. He can definitely bring humor to the broadcast, and he's shown that he has the knowledge to actually be able to call matches correctly. Does he know the names of as many moves as Mike Tenay? No, but in the end, that means next to jack shit, because.. again.. Tenay is gawdawful and should never, under any circumstance, be seen on-camera. Other than Nash, though, the pickings are slim. Unfortunately, we might be stuck with the Tenay/West combination for a while. *sigh*
What are your pet peeves? (John Doe)
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I've answered this question in a previous edition of Ask Hustle. Not only am I too lazy to go back and check, but I'm running short on time before I have to get this posted, so I'll just answer it, anyway. My pet peeves, in no particular order:
- People that try too hard to be something they're not. For example, I know people that act and speak differently depending on who they're around. If they're around "urban" people, you'll see them speaking/typing in Ebonics and using all sorts of slang, but if they're around "proper" people, all of that suddenly disappears. Seriously.. you should be yourself, whether you hang out with white people, black people, yellow people, brown people, rich people, poor people, male people, female people, short people, tall people, skinny people, fat people, attractive people, ugly people, etc. Either that, or just segregate yourself and only hang out with one type of people.
- The people who own "Import Tuner" types of vehicles that aren't properly and professionally put together. By that, I mean this.. the people that installed their own exhaust systems, etc, or had a friend's friend's friend's friend's friend do it for them, to save a little money, instead of going to get it done by people that.. I dunno.. actually know what the fuck they're doing. If your Honda sounds like a moped, you're not doing it right, folks. Trust me, ladies and gentlemen.. when a car is properly tricked out, it'll hum like beautiful music. Uh.. no homo. Yes, I realize this particular pet peeve isn't really all that relevant in a lot of places on the planet, but it's definitely relevant here. The import car scene is huuuuuge here. I have to deal with this type of shit all the time.
- Public toilets, in general. Unless it's damn near a life-or-death situation, I try to avoid public restrooms at all costs. They're dirty, there's usually piss all over the seats and/or floor surrounding the toilet, there's tremendously lame graffiti on the walls that isn't even remotely funny, there isn't any toilet paper most of the time, it smells like Bigfoot's dick, and the stalls are too small a lot of the time.
- People who don't take responsibility for things. This covers a lot of ground, because it could mean people who blame others for their own mistakes in life, people who abandon their children, people who abandon their pets, or just people who aren't out there doing what they're supposed to be doing in life. The ironic thing about this is the fact that I'm not always out there doing what I'm supposed to be doing in life. I'm working on it, though. People who blame others for their mistakes in life, though, are especially interesting to me, because I've been dealing with them ever since I could remember. If you're a minority, and you have something bad happen to you, it might just be because you brought it upon yourself, not because so-and-so is a racist and hates you because of the color of your skin, etc
- Soggy french fries
- Small dogs being carried in handbags and purses
- Perez Hilton, TMZ, and other things of that nature
- Women that hit men, then turn around and act completely shocked when they get hit back
- Humid days
- Large cities that don't have good Korean BBQ restaurants
- Scuffing a pair of brand new kicks
- When a movie has someone speaking a different language, and there aren't any subtitles
- Still not having a computer
The funny (sad?) thing is that I could go on and on and on and on here, but for the sake of my sanity, I'll leave it at that. I'm sure that I'd have an entirely new list if you asked me this same question a month or two from now. I just have a lot of things that annoy me. Not to the point where it affects my day or anything, but just to the point where I can shake my head when I happen to encounter those things. I know people that have ridiculous pet peeves (eating more than one french fry at a time, and using more than your thumb and index finger to grab said french fries) and it really bothers them when they experience them. It's gotta suck to live your life like that.
Will you be attending WrestleMania next year? (John Doe)
For whatever reason, there wasn't anywhere near as much interest in a WrestleMania trip as there was last year. There was a good 20 or so of us in Orlando last year, but there was only a tiny handful of people that even said they might go this year, so the 2nd Annual LoPForums.com WrestleMania Weekend Wrestling (W)Extravaganza went ker-plop. It's really unfortunate that I won't be live in attendance again this year, but I've already begun discussions about next year. I know that the "annual" part doesn't fit anymore, but I'm going with it, anyway..
The 4th Annual LoPForums.com WrestleMania Weekend Wrestling (W)Extravaganza is now in the works.
For those of you long-time readers, you know why it's the 4th Annual. For those of you who aren't long-time readers, it's due to the simple fact that there never is a three.
So, yeah, if any of you live in the general vicinity of Arizona (where WrestleMania 26 is supposedly being held), or would like to make the trip in for the event, we'll have to get together sometime in the somewhat near-future to plan things out a bit. If someone else doesn't make a thread about it at LoPForums sometime after this year's WrestleMania is over, I'll do it myself. I'd rather not miss another one of these, now that I've actually gone to one. Let's make this happen, people.
Do you really listen to all of those songs that you list in your columns? (Marty O.)
Actually, I listen to more songs than just the ones I list in my columns, but the ones I do list are the ones I'm paying attention to the most. Sometimes, I'll just randomize my music, hit Play, and just get to work typing. When I do that, I zone in and out when a song is on that I don't necessarily feel like listening to at that time, but I'm so into working on the column that I don't change the song.
Other times, I'm in a set mood when it comes to my music, so I'll fix my playlist a certain way, or I'll go out and search for a particular type of music and listen to it. When I do that, I'm putting most of the playlist into the column, and there's more of a connecting theme to the songs I've listed.
There are other times where I'll hear a random song on the radio, in someone else's car on the road, or in a store/restaurant somewhere, and it'll get stuck in my head, so I'll list it because I'm either humming it (no homo) or singing/rapping it as I'm typing.
If I actually listed every song I listen to, attentively or not, during the creation of my columns, the "What Hustle Is Listening To Right Now" section would be twice as long, at the very least, than it is already. As much as I like to take up extra space in my columns with random things, listening 100+ songs might be a bit too much, even for me.
Is Petey Williams WWE material? (B.R.)
I really don't see why he wouldn't be WWE material. He's probably ECW material, but even that is better than wasting away in TNA. His size (5'7", 180 pounds) would prevent him from being a serious big-time contender on a regular basis, even with the company's continued move towards smaller wrestlers. I could see him definitely getting lifts in his boots, a la Chris Jericho, but it's not completely necessary. He could definitely work well on ECW with the type of wrestlers they have on their current roster, and with the styles of wrestling they seem to want to put out for the world. In time, I could even see him as a mighty nice addition to either the Intercontinental or United States Title picture.
My question is whether or not Vince McMahon would allow The Canadian Destroyer to be used as a finisher. He's had issues in recent years with moves that he feels are a bit too dangerous, and he could view the CD as a move that carries too much risk with it. It would then be up to Petey to show Vince that he can constantly deliver the move without injuring someone, just like Evan Bourne reportedly had to do with the Shooting Star Press after Vince banned the move. There are a lot of WWE fans that have never seen Petey wrestle at all, so I would think having the CD in his arsenal would be important to help him win over fans. Otherwise, he might just get viewed as a guy who is too small with nothing being brought to the table.
I'll close up the mailbag right here. Thanks again to everyone that sent in questions for me. Send me anything you want about any subject that you want, and I'll answer it in a future edition of Ask Hustle. I'm getting a lot more non-wrestling questions these days, which is kinda funny. I'm not complaining in any way, shape, or form, but it's just different, because non-wrestling questions were outnumbered by wrestling questions by an almost 10:1 margin when I first started doing these things. Now, it's more along the lines of 4:1 in favor of wrestling-related questions. Either way, keep the mailbag full, folks.
Hustle Highlight Of The Week: I don't know if this is a good time for comedic segments or a bad time for actual wrestling, but for the second week in a row, the HHotW is a small part of a comedic segment. Last week, it was Jay Lethal channeling Ric Flair for a few moments in his backstage promo. This week, it's the reactions of Edge and Big Show to the security-cam video of Show and Vickie Guerrero's makeout session. Edge was hilarious in his subtle looks of shock, while Show could've starred in a "Need to get away for a while?" commercial for Southwest Airlines. I would prefer it if next week's HHotW was an actual wrestling match, but we'll see how that works, I guess.
Writer's Note: Terrell Owens.. the Buffalo Bill. That just looks strange. Regardless of my personal feelings towards the guy, I love Buffalo's decision to sign him. They're a borderline playoff team without Owens, but signing him only makes the team better. He'll be on some of his best behavior, trying to prove that he can be some sort of a "team player" and hit the free agent jackpot in the next offseason. Sure, having Lee Evans lining up on the other end of the field could make T.O. a bit jealous, but again, he knows that if he wears his Big Boy Pants this season, a bigger payday awaits him when the season is over. Buffalo's biggest problem is that they're competing in what could be the most stacked division in the NFL. If Tom Brady can come back healthy, New England is clearly the class of the league.. the Dolphins were a playoff team this past year, and they're only getting better.. if the Jets can find someone to run their offense, they should be a force, because their defense should be one of the better units in football. Even with the signing of Owens, the Bills will have to fight like hell to even play .500 football in the division. It was still a good signing, though. Trent Edwards is a young, developing Quarterback, and he can never be surrounded by too many impact weapons. Terrell Owens, even at this stage of his career, would still be considered as an impact weapon. Now, the Bills just need to worry about whether or not Marshawn Lynch gets disciplined by the NFL due to his off-the-field problems. If Lynch has to sit for a few games, it's a big hit to the Buffalo offense, although they've got Fred Jackson, who has proven to be capable of handling the load when he's on the field. If Lynch gets suspended for a lengthy amount of time, however, the team is in trouble.

Yet another one bites the dust, folks. I'm still a little upset that my original column for the week disappeared like it did. I still have no idea where the hell it went, but I'm thankful to have had a bunch of questions waiting to be answered. It made for a nice little emergency column. It's funny, because I put all this pressure on myself, for no real reason. I only need to write a column once every 21 days, but instead of taking an extra few days to write another "normal" column, I pushed myself to get something posted today, a week after my last one. I don't know why I tighten things up for myself the way I do, but it's been that way for a while. Rant over. Keep your peepers peepin for my next column, dropping in it's usual Hustle time at the usual Hustle page. Until then, from the place where people panic and start wearing jackets when it's 72 degrees out at 4pm, I bid you farewell. Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa.
