      - Only if it isn’t true. -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 19:07 4
        
        still feels like the smart first place to mention it is in an SEC filing. or anywhere but twitter really. even the blog post is lacking any real info. -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 19:10 3
        
        I’m not saying it wasn’t dumb, just that it likely wasn’t illegal manipulation, if it’s true, as far as I understand it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 19:23 2
        
        my cynical conspiracy is he has no concrete plans, did it to hurt the shorts, and has done just enough ass-covering to make it legal. -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 19:26 1
        
        Except all this does is encourage the shorts, really, because now there’s clear downside risk with the possibility a deal doesn’t happen. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 9, 19:31

- I thought Cody signed a long-term deal. -- nm - David Aug 9, 17:05 11
  - Yeah, with ROH I'm pretty sure. And New Japan nearly always signs guys to one year deals that end after Wrestle Kingdom. - Tim Aug 9, 17:07 10
    - Yes, but Pete's article indicates Cody's contract is about to run out. - David Aug 9, 17:10 9
      - I don't know about COdy...but from every other place I've read...Omega and Bucks contracs for NJPW are up next summer before the FOX deal starts -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 17:25
      - Right, I don't get why it suggests that either. -- nm - Tim Aug 9, 17:12 7
        
        Is it possible he has an opt-out? - David Aug 9, 17:21 6
        
        They could without calling it that. -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 17:37
        
        I think we're a year or so away from Triple H giving Omega and the Bucks damn near anything they want to come to WWE. -- nm - Tim Aug 9, 17:23 4
        
        Bringing Cody back so soon would be WWE admitting they blew it with him, so I'm less sure about that one. -- nm - Tim Aug 9, 17:24 3
        
        I think they have new ways of looking at him after All In sold out in minutes. -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 17:36
        
        Rhodes would fall into WWE giving Omega whatever he wants. - David Aug 9, 17:33 1

  - kidnapped by aliens is my preferred theory. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 9, 18:02 2
    - the area he jumped out in has the highest Sasquatch concentration in the US, so Occam's Razor suggests that both you guys are wrong -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 18:17 1
      - Is Occam’s Razor what he used to shave off his Sasquatch fur for the plan? D.B. = Da Bigfoot? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 18:29
- Its possible they're right but, amateur codebreaking, that way lies madness. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 17:21 1
  - yeah, this is what I thought the first time I read it. the guy has the profile, but did they find the guy first and shoehorn him in, or actually find - mafic Aug 9, 19:14

- "Some kid's first pro play was a blown defensive assignment" -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:16 7
  - Ward’s first pro play as CB for the Browns was a taunting penalty on an incomplete 3rd down pass that kept a drive alive for a FG. Browns. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 9, 16:17 6
    - Here’s the run. -- (link) - Volnelk Aug 9, 16:20 3
      - That was a good looking run but geez Cleveland, out of position much? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:22 2
        
        That is already giving me walking nightmares "I hope Seattle's secondary doesn't look like that" -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:23 1
        
        Also, I have no idea what constitutes holding anymore -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:25

Luv 2: scrape both knees on a rock hard infield, take a throw off the thigh when my SS didn't hear the dead ball call, break my glove and - Reagen Aug 9, 16:02 4
- how did you break your glove? was it some cording? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:05 3
  - Yeah, the leather thread broke between two of the fingers - Reagen Aug 9, 16:08 2
    - (I suppose I could try and rethread it) -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 16:08 1
      - You could, but there might be a new glove out there that is better somehow. I'd spend hours in sporting goods stores just to make sure -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 16:15
Spawn, that's what I mean. There's DC adapters but they're not lighters. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 16:01 1
