2010 Fall Schedule

Well as far as this blog is concerned, I will be doing like I did at the end of the season earlier in the year and reviewing shows throughout the season and making picks and posting analysis on them as well. This is more than likely the schedule of shows I will be following, at least for now.

Mondays
Monday Night Raw (Live with Mandy)
Dancing with The Stars (DVRing, watching on Tuesday afternoons)

Tuesdays
WWE NXT (DVRing, watching on Wednesdays, till it goes off the air)
Glee (watching with Mandy, maybe Claire and Mike)
Raising Hope (DVRing, hopefully get into it with no problems, probably get pushed to a cleaning day around the house)
Dancing with The Stars (DVRing, watching on Wednesday mornings)

Wednesdays
Hells Kicthen (watching with Mandy and more than likely UJ)

Thursdays
Big Bang Theory (watching with Mandy)
$#*! My Dad Says (watching or DVRing)
Outsourced (DVRing, hopefully get into, same as Raising Hope)
TNA Impact (DVRing, watch on Fridays)

Fridays
WWE Friday Night Smackdown (watching/DVRing)

I think that's a good array of shows this Fall season and I'm looking forward to it.

Finally...the wait is over

Back in July my New Jersey Devils signed forward Ilya Kovakchuk to a 17 year contract and it was a major landmark day in the history of the team. But then the NHL overruled the deal and then an arbitrator ruled on the side of the NHL and then we were all, the team, Kovi and the fans, back at square one.

Yesterday that all changed, the Devils FINALLY got their man at $100 million over 15 years. The contract is  going to end up being the last of it's kind because the NHL has now put in new rules for cap hits on long lengthy contracts in the future. (Something that I will NOT be going into because the CBA is WAY too confused for me to get into.)

Now with 6.7 cap hit on the team, which still isn't bad, Lou has to make a deal to shed some cap space. As of this morning the Devils are 3.8 million over the cap, they have until opening day to shed some space. I'm looking at the roster on CapGeek.com and think I know a way to shed some space.

The scenario I see that would work the best would be to trade Dainius Zubrus (3.4 hit) and Andy Greene (737,500) and get some future draft picks, even low ones. Then you just trust John MacLean because he know the farm system guys and bring some cheer AHL player to fill the void.

But alas, I'm not Lou, he's the mastermind behind pulling stuff like this off. We will see what happens.

NXT Shocker

Well, I spent the other day writing a post about the NXT Season 3 rookie divas.

The one Diva that intriged me was Aloisia, the 6'9" amazon that I was wondering would look like in the ring. Well as of last night, that won't be happening because Aloisia was fired from WWE and now they need to find a replacement Diva for season 3.

You know this is not exactly the start to an iffy season I expected at all, I hope they have a good replacement because the one wild card that was going to get iffy fans to check in with the show is now gone.

WWE, I hope you know what you're doing.

Big Brother-And then there was four...

The Final Four:

Lane (HOH-1x, POV-0)
Britney (HOH-1x, POV-3x)
Enzo (HOH-0, POV-1x)
Hayden (HOH-2x, POV-0)

Well this is a very intriguing Top 4. Honestly I think it can go either way this point. Here are my thoughts:

If Hayden wins HOH
Nominates: Britney & Lane

If Britney wins HOH
Nominates: Enzo & Hayden

If Enzo with HOH
Nominates: Britney & Hayden

That being said it's going to come down to the POV. But overall we go into the final week of competition on the show, this will get very interesting.


Evicted
Ragan
This man earned his right to be here. He finally woke up and played the game hard and even figured out The Brigade when no one else was able to figure it out. I think his vote will either goto Lane or Britney if they make it to the Final 2.
