Now that Canada has won women's soccer bronze, is anybody else out there hoping for a podium incident?
Let's face it--the Canadian women won bronze, but should have been playing for Gold, had the semifinal game vs. the US been called fairly.
I am seriously hoping for a podium incident--i.e. for Canada to get wild applause when they get their medal, and the US to be booed by the crowd, or maybe for some intense staredowns or other interactions between Canadian and American players. I am hoping for some extra drama to the medal presentation--while not really giving FIFA anything else to conduct a stupid investigation over. What are you hoping for--or any other ideas?
5 AnswersOlympics9 years agoOfficiating in yesterday's Canada vs. US Semifinal Soccer Match: Mere Incompetence or Evidence of Corruption?
So what do you think?
Was the horrible officiating in yesterday's Olympic semifinal soccer match between Canada and the U.S. merely incompetence of the Norwegian referee, or does it point to corruption between the US (or someone on their behalf) and the official?
Explain your opinion.
8 AnswersOlympics9 years agoHow much did it cost for USA soccer to bribe the officials in today's women's Olympic semifinal soccer match?
I do not know if I have ever seen worse and more corrupt officiating in soccer than I saw today in the USA vs. Canada women's soccer match. Based on how they played, both in skill and sportsmanship, the Americans did not earn their victory.What do you think the US had to do to bribe Olympic officials to ensure they made the gold medal match?

5 AnswersBaseball9 years agoHard question, easily asked....Shawn Michaels OR Bret Hart. Who was the greatest?
If you need a refresher on their outstanding careers, here are two awesome tribute videos from youtube. Ironically, the same song highlights both, but both vids offer awesome evidence.
However, if you had to pick JUST ONE, who was the greatest...The Hitman or HBK? And please, give some good, solid reasoning to back up your choice.

17 AnswersWrestling10 years agoWhy does Donald Duck find it necessary to wear a shirt and hat, but not pants?
Consider these as well:
- Goofy is FULLY dressed (shoes, pants, shirt, vest) whereas the duck characters go commando.
- Goofy (a dog) walks fully upright, has full speech, and wears clothes whereas Pluto can only make dog noises, walks on all fours, and wears nothing but a collar.
- Despite the fact Donald Duck wears no pants, when he somewho ends up out of his partial sailor suit and is fully unclad, then he turns red from embarrassment.
- Aside from Disney there are many more. For example, on the children's series Arthur, Arthur has a several friends who are dogs who walk upright, speak, and wear clothes (i.e. Fern and Binky) but has a puppy who walks on all fours and behaves like a regular dog.
Can anyone else offer any insightful comments OR further examples of these eccentric inconsistencies?
5 AnswersFashion & Accessories10 years agoQUESTION: Since when did it become acceptable and legal to complete probation while incarcerated?
You know what I'm talking about. I don't care how profile a case (or a defendant!) is, since when, ever, has it been legal to complete an order of probation for a crime while you are behind bars? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of probation?
What do you think? Like the famous line from Denzel Washington's character in the movie "Philadelphia", "Could someone please explain it to me. Like I'm a seven year old."?
2 AnswersCurrent Events10 years agoWWE Politically Incorrect Pay-Per-View tournament million dollar idea?
Here's the thing. Want to attract a freakishly huge audience by both intriguing and offending? How about a Pay-Per-View featuring newsmakers and the disgraced in gimmick matches?
Bear with me---this is extremely hypothetical and of course probably no more than whimsy or fantasy--but what do you think, and can you suggest some of your own?
Here are a few matchups:
Casey Anthony vs. Nancy Grace in a TLC match (if Nancy wins, no-holds-barred interview rights and an appeal for conviction to the Supreme Court. If Casey wins, million dollar payout.)
Paris Hilton vs. Lindsay Lohan--"15 Minutes of Fame" Match--15 minute time limit, anything goes, loser goes to jail and/or rehab.
Rupert Murdoch vs. Conrad Black--"Media Mayhem" padded cage match--in a cell, but cushy to reflect soft collar prison. Winner keeps media empire. Loses ends up in white collar prison.
Paula Abdul and Marc Anthony vs. Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler--"Love and Reality" Mixed Tag Match--winning couple get to be judges on reality show of their choice.
Ronald McDonald vs. The Burger King--Last Fast Food Mascot Standing match--loser must shut down their franchise.
Rosie O'Donnell vs. Oprah Winfrey vs. Ellen Degeneres--Triple Threat Tables Match--winner gets their own television show, losers are confined to sound-proof padded cell for one year.
Charlie Sheen vs. Chuck Lorre--Submission Match--outcome determines future of "Two and a Half Men"
Just a few ideas. More concepts and comments would be awesome!
2 AnswersWrestling10 years agoAfter seeing the new WWE belt he won, what do you think of calling John Cena the "Shopzone Champion"?
Here's the deal.
The new WWE title belt WWE gave to Rey Mysterio last night, which then found its way into Cena's hands, looks fake. It looks like a WWE Shopzone special.
I propose that since Cena has always been more about moving merchandise and marketing than true quality in-ring performance and stroytelling, and that now he holds a WWE Shopzone belt while CM Punk hold the real (both in terms of real looking and legitimate) WWE title we start a campaign to have Cena officially labelled "the Shopzone Champion"
Other options are "The Shopzone Kid" or "The Plastic Champ"
Your thoughts?
BONUS QUESTION: Suggest other good and fitting nicknames for John Cena, please, explaining them if necessary.
5 AnswersWrestling10 years agoWho is the REAL WWE champion AND how should the WWE prove it (i.e. match type)?
In your opinion, who is the TRUE WWE champion--Cena or Punk AND what type of match/stipulation/event should WWE stage to confirm it? (i.e. remember the great ladder match at WM X between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels to confirm the IC strap? What should WWE do with Cena and Punk)
BONUS: Comment on the crowd reaction when both Punk and Cena raised their title belts last night on RAW. If you haven't seen the video yet check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9GbxqYwzHk The title raising begins at approximately 3:20 of the video.
