Should NBA players be penalized and/or fined for flopping?
Flopping has long been an epidemic in basketball, and its a low tactic that people use to their advantage to make up for the fact they can't play defense or score against a better player. I think its about time the league started calling penalties or fining players for flopping, do you agree?

2 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade agoCollege nickname change ideas?
Auburn should change from Tigers to War Eagles
Mississippi State from Bulldogs to Rattlers
Louisiana-Monroe from Warhawks to Copperheads
Buffalo from Bulls to Bisons
Cal-Santa Cruz from Banana Slugs to Sharks
Northwestern from Wildcats to Renegades
Arkansas-Monticello from Boll Weevils to Mud Dogs
UNLV from Rebels to Rockets
Louisiana Tech from Bulldogs to Buccaneers
Fresno State from Bulldogs to Firebirds
The Citadel from Bulldogs to Grenadiers
Stanford from Cardinal to Cardinals(the animal, not a friggin tree)
Memphis from Tigers to Blues
Kansas State from Wildcats to Lions
Northern Illinois from Huskies to Redbirds (the cardinal is the state bird of illinois)
South Carolina from Gamecocks to Chargers or Generals
Florida Atlantic from Owls to Barracudas or Sting Rays
Idaho from Vandals to Argonauts (i think Idaho has an Argonaut mascot or something idk)
New Mexico State from Aggies to Coyotes
Utah State from Aggies to Hornets
The reason i suggest these name changes is because a lot of schools share the same name (cougars, wildcats, bulldogs) and each school should have a unique name...either that or some names are just too ridiculous to have as a mascot (boll weevils, banana slugs). please let me know what you think.
5 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoAuburn athletics name change?
Auburn is currently known as the Tigers, but they don't celebrate it the same as LSU or Clemson does. What i have noticed is Auburn's "War Eagle" chant every time i see them play. Since LSU takes a bit more pride in the Tigers name, why doesn't Auburn go by the War Eagles?
2 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade ago1972 Miami Dolphins movie?
There have been very few good movies about pro football. The only one i can think of are North Dallas Forty, Any Given Sunday, and The Replacements. So why can't they make a movie based on the only team in the modern era to have a perfect championship season (Pats fans, notice i said championship). The 72 Dolphins had the winningest coach in NFL history, Don Shula, and a roster loaded with future Hall of Famers. If there was ever a better movie idea to make about the NFL, i'd like to hear it.
Also, I've been wondering who would play coach Shula, and i can't think of anybody off the top of my head who would be a good fit. Help me out with some suggestions?

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoRed Dead Redemption sequel?
Due to the success of Red Dead Redemption, only a retard would assume that Rockstar isn't going to make a sequel. While RDR was one of the most acclaimed games of all time and showed how to make a great western game, there is always room for improvement. Now i ask, will the developers @ Rockstar listen to some ideas from a few loyal followers? Here's hoping, and here's some ideas.
Gun Customization: Back in the old west, you lived and you died by the gun. That means these people came up with more than a few versions of firearms. Why not be able to upgrade calibers of weapons? and what about special weapons like a Derringer or the gun from Quigley Down Under? In fact, i'm sure they can come up w/ some creative new weapons as well.
Companions/Sidekicks: The Lone Ranger had Tonto, so why can't you get a sidekick as well that you can call upon? The trails are long and lonely, and hardly anybody ever rode alone at all times. It only makes sense to have some backup.
Ranching: The ranching missions were pretty easy and sort of enjoyable, why not have the choice of helping run a ranch? The ranch would also serve as a way to make some extra cash.
Swimming: I remember how pissed i was when i figured out you couldn't swim in Vice City. And it was the same thing w/ RDR. Its not asking a lot for a guy to know how to swim.
Player Customization: This will be a big one, but its worked for Saint's Row and Mass Effect, why not have the next story center around a young up-and-coming gunslinger. After all, John Marston wasn't in Red Dead Revolver, so its not that big of a deal. Lets create our own character and make our own story in the wild west.
Indians: Am i the only one who noticed that there were hardly any indians in RDR? How about getting Crazy Horse a little screen time next go around ok? maybe even have a little cowboys and indians minigame/multiplayer action.
Trading: bartering and trading was a huge part of the economy in the old west, so it made no sense that RDR didn't have it as an option. It would be cool to trade with other citizens, as well as indians. "Hey chief, here's some firewater, now you mind if i have some of that gold?"
Gold/Mining/Treasure: The treasure part of RDR wasn't as fulfilling as it sounds, plus you can't really mine or anything, all you do is follow a map. Lets try and improve on that.
Western Legends: The whole time i played RDR, i wondered to myself "why are there no famous people in this game?" It would be awesome if they could throw in Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Clay Allison, Doc Holliday, Tom Horn, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or even fictional legends like The Man with No Name, The Magnificent Seven, Pecos Bill, Bret Maverick, and so on. It would definitely lend some genuine legend to the story. Imagine being a young gunslinger running into Wyatt Earp in Dodge City.
Saloons, Saloons, Saloons: If you were a man in the old west, you went to the saloon for a good time, in RDR, all you could do was play a few games and take 3 or 4 shots before you stumbled around drunk. Now i think the ability to have a barfight would be awesome, and maybe even throw in a security/bouncer minigame. Also, maybe if a cowboy wants a little female companionship, he should be able to go pay for some.
Trains: All you get to do is ride the train...why can't you rob it? It only makes sense to me that this would be one of the most fun things to do in the old west.
Posses: Back in the old days, you could round up a posse to go after a bounty or to get some revenge or just shoot out the lights in town to have some fun. Like in a lot of other games, you should be able to recruit some "assistance" when you feel the need to.
Boats: the big wrecked ship in the game is the closest you come to a riverboat. now after that, why not have a riverboat saloon or ferry?
Clothes: The old west wasn't exactly fashion week in Paris, but you should still have more choices than the last game. Also, i don't remember people in the old west unlocking clothes, they just went in the store and bought them....or they stole it from someone else. Also how about some fur clothes? I mean if i get to kill a buffalo, i want to wear it, not sell it to the general store.
I know this sounds like a lot, but it will only make it a better game. As for my final parting request, here's the name: Red Dead Retribution.
4 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoShould the Gators bring back the orange jerseys this season?
Its been forever since the Gators wore the Orange jerseys that defined them in the 80's. If they can waste their time on the Nike Pro Combat jerseys, they can at least pay tribute to guys like Emmitt Smith and Kerwin Bell. I mean if Georgia can wear the blackouts once a year, why can't UF break out the Orange jerseys?
4 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoShould Randy Orton win the US and WWE Titles?
With the Miz coming out on Raw and running his mouth (as always), about himself going to become the first person to hold the US and WWE Titles, do you think that he should lose the US Title to Randy Orton and then Randy Orton beats whoever for the WWE title? I personally would love to see Randy hold both titles similar to when HHH held the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles. What do you think?
4 AnswersWrestling1 decade agoLeBron to Orlando Magic (it could happen)?
I know everybody has been speculating the last few months about LeBron James' future, but i think that he will have to strongly consider heading to Orlando. After all, its not like Orlando is any smaller market than Cleveland is, in fact its probably bigger. LeBron will most likely make as much money in O-Town as he would anywhere else and he'd be on a team that would be favorites to win a title every single season. The Magic may give up the farm to get him, but if they keep Howard and Nelson on board with LeBron, then you'll have the most dangerous duo in NBA history and a point guard who'll take advantage of the talent around him. I know its cut and dry, but the bottom line is that Lebron will have the chance to play alongside Dwight Howard and win titles while making a lot of money. Who would turn that down? And the magic have the chance to become a dynasty over the next decade....who would turn that down? For both LeBron and the Magic, it just makes sense.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoi have a WWE Live Event/ Championship Belts question?

7 AnswersWrestling1 decade agoThinking out Loud: WWE thoughts and opinions?
Its that time of year when the Road to WrestleMania is going down the backstretch, so i decided i'd share some thoughts with some fellow wrestling fans. let me know what you think.
1. Am i alone in saying that WrestleMania may be heading for disappointment for the second year in a row? i mean HBK vs. Deadman rematch? we've already seen it. regardless of the fact that its HBK's career vs. Taker's streak, i still don't really wanna see it. I don't want to see a rematch because WWE is too stupid to think of new ideas.
2. Speaking of new ideas, how about someone other than John Cena in the main event? Cena's starting to hit the point in his career where he should be getting moved aside to make room for new talent, yet WWE keeps putting him everywhere. I do love the idea of Batista beating the snot out of Cena on Wrestling's grandest stage, but apparently since Cena is the golden boy t-shirt salesman, i don't think it'll happen.
3. Is Randy Orton finally getting a push as a face? if he is, its about time. He reminds me more and more of the Rock in how he is breaking away from the faction he led and becoming an anti-hero. However i don't think Orton would be comfortable as a Corporate Champion. I knew he was going to get a face push sooner or later, maybe a rivalry against CM Punk or Chris Jericho isn't far off the horizon for the Viper.
4. Why did WWE let Sheamus hold onto the belt for so long? i don't know what Vince has been smokin lately, but you're not supposed to let a rookie play such an important part in the WrestleMania buildup and hold the belt until Elimination Chamber. However, this just goes to show how much McMahon likes the Celtic Warrior.
5. When will the WWE find some quality wrestlers for the Women's competition? i mean i know they are mostly eye candy, but i'm not asking for someone to be the next Victoria or Lita, i'm just asking that they can put on a decent, watchable match every week.
6. Is anybody noticing that Triple H has nothing to do right now? i don't think i ever remember The Game not having something for WrestleMania. maybe a smackdown vs. raw angle could come into play because i don't see HHH in the Money in the Bank match. Keep an eye on the game.
7. I'm looking forward to seeing what NXT brings, but i'm also interested in what they do with the ECW title, my idea would be to use it as a secondary title for a while and then merge it with the I-C or US titles.
8. Anybody else notice any similarities between Dolph Ziggler and Mr. Perfect? i mean i used to think it was just the hair, but they both have very similar styles in the ring and are relentless athletes...also listen to Ziggler's entrance theme (I am Perfection).
9. 3 words for huge wrestlemania match: Legacy Triple Threat.
10. Last but not least: I'm probably not alone on this, but are you as impressed by Drew McIntyre as i am? the guy is big, but he can move and he's getting better in the ring every week. He's got a great finisher and he's growing as a competitor. I think Vince McMahon really likes this kid and i think he'll be a main-eventer before too long.
2 AnswersWrestling1 decade agoWWE NXT: Ideas and Suggestions?
Here's a few ideas i have for the transition from ECW to NXT.
1. An Invasion storyline that features someone like Jack Swagger or Dolph Ziggler leading some of the FCW Superstars to their debut against the ECW superstars. Over time, some of the ECW superstars will be weeded out and transplanted onto Raw or Smackdown.
2. NXT should come on SyFy @ 8:30 instead of 10 to give the show an additional hour of programming to go more in depth in storylines and allow for more matches.
3. NXT should explore the possibility of having a guest host like Raw, but instead of celebrities, have superstars from Smackdown and Raw host.
4. NXT should steal the discarded 6-sided ring from TNA and turn the tables on Hulk Hogan, taking something Hogan didn't believe could work and then turning it into a success.
5. NXT should explore a Velocity or Heat type color scheme and use a lime green or orange as the brand's color.
6. NXT should bring in their own new championship, the WWE Television Championship, and then unify it with the current ECW championship.
7. NXT roster members should not face each other on WWE Superstars, but rather have NXT vs. Smackdown, NXT vs. Raw, and NXT Divas vs. WWE Divas matches.
8. NXT should allow for more tag team matches as to add depth to the WWE tag team division.
9. Since Smackdown and Raw both have secondary titles, Smackdown with the intercontinental and Raw with the United States, NXT should have their own secondary title: the returning Cruiserweight championship.
10. If NXT is to bring back the Cruiserweight Title, then Cruiserweight title matches can only happen on NXT. Superstars like Evan Bourne, Rey Mysterio, Bryan Danielson and others can only appear on NXT to defend or challenge for the Cruiserweight championship.
I hope you like my ideas, but please feel free to add any that you think would help the brand for the better. And please let me know what you think of my ideas.
