Curry's struggle against L.A. makes Warriors look different
And now for something completely different

For far too long, the atmosphere wasn't quite as advertised. Not even close. There was palpable apprehension inside Oracle Arena on Thursday night as the Warriors took a disheartening Game 3 loss to the Clippers that was all about the lamentable absence of Stephen Curry, and by the time he showed up, it wasn't enough.
With 5:40 left in the game, Curry was 2-for-7 from the floor and 0-for-4 from three-point range. That's how this night will be remembered, and for the third straight game, he hasn't delivered the kind of performance that earned him the deepest respect around the league.
There's still time, with the Warriors facing a Game 4 on Sunday that they cannot afford to lose. Simply put, though, these weren't the Warriors who thrilled fans to the point of delirium over the past two seasons. The team had a distinctly different look from the very beginning, and it had an unsettling effect on a yellow-clad, sellout crowd that wound up trudging slowly for the exits.
Wondering, no doubt, why Curry had so little to offer.
It seems that, for the moment, the Warriors have lost their identity. Just as Montana-to-Rice defined the old-school 49ers and the Giants' pitching carried them to two World Series titles, the essence of the Warriors is the type of long-range shooting that soothes a fan's heart and buckles an opponent's spirit.
"I understand the love affair with our guards shooting the basketball," coach Mark Jackson said before the game. "But to me, that's not how we win games. We do that when we defend at a high level."
It's a noble premise, infallible in its way, but not when Curry hasn't made a single basket with two minutes left in the first half, when Curry and Klay Thompson combine for just 11 points to that point, and when the team misses 25 of its 31 shots from three-point range for the game.
Thompson eventually caught fire and finished with 26 points, to go with soul-satisfying efforts from Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green. But nobody can look at the final box score - Curry shooting 5-for-12 from the floor, barely recognizable until a pair of desperation baskets in the frantic final moments - without realizing that a vital piece was missing.
Ever stoic, revealing only a trace of frustration, Curry sat at his locker after the game and refused to acknowledge that this game was all about him. That's how the team players operate, admirably, and he wasn't about to call this loss a disaster.
"There's going to be a lot of emphasis on how I didn't get a lot of shots, but that stuff doesn't matter in the playoffs," he said. "You have to find a way to win. I think they're playing me more aggressively than they did in the regular season, but I thought we had a lot of great looks, some solid offensive possessions. Our offense is fine."
The late Chick Hearn, fabled voice of the Los Angeles Lakers, was fond of saying "You can't stop the great ones." He was talking about Jerry West, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, but you'd imagine him making that call to describe Curry's epic performances in recent years. Nobody stops Curry once he gets rolling. The beauty of his shot becomes an otherworldly phenomenon, something to which few players in history can relate.
The curious thing about Thursday night is that the Clippers backed off the swarming traps and double-teams they employed in Los Angeles. They gave him a bit more space, usually defending him with just one person, primarily Chris Paul and Darren Collison. "But there was a lot of contact," said Curry. "Once you get around that first guy on the pick-and-roll - I got hit a lot. Got a little iffy at times."
In the wake of Game 2, a 40-point Clippers blowout, some found it impressive that Curry had exposed a rare fit of temper, firing his mouthpiece to the ground after being flung to the court without penalty. "Maybe he should get mad more often," they said.
Wrong. That's not how Curry operates. It was Green who changed the mood of Thursday night's game with his hard fouls, clutch shots and feisty trash-talking, and it seemed that the whole crazy pattern might work when Curry, two defenders rushing him, hit a three-pointer that found him flat on his back with 11 seconds left. But when it came down to the final shot - Curry against Paul, the classic point-guard confrontation - Paul's tough defense forced Curry into a shot even he couldn't hit.
Was he fouled? "I thought so," Curry said. "You're not allowed to bump a guy when he's jumping in the air for a shot, and that's what happened. But it wasn't called. I'm not gonna overreact to it."
Their only reaction now is to win. Sunday becomes the composite of a season.

Steve Jobs: Died Buddhist, Raised Lutheran
- (Reuters/Alexander Demianchuk)Carnations are placed before a computer screen showing a portrait of Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs at an Apple store in St. Petersburg October 6, 2011. Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer and other health issues.

October 7, 2011|9:42 am
Apple innovator Steve Jobs passed away Oct. 5 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The question of Jobs' faith has been a hot topic since news of his death was announced.
Many have asked whether he was a Buddhist or an atheist, and have also questioned whether he was a Christian.
In fact, Jobs' was a self-professed Buddhist in the later years of his life.
However, reports have also revealed that Jobs was baptized Christian and raised Lutheran.
About.com columnist, Scott P. Richert notes that Jobs was baptized Christian and confirmed in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in his October 6 op-ed, The Christian Vision of Steve Jobs.
Referencing Jobs' commencement speech to the 2005 graduating class of Stanford University, Richert suggests that despite his Buddhist beliefs, Jobs was still inspired by his Christian upbringing.

"Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement address does not read like a Buddhist manifesto. There is something about it that, if not intentionally Christian, is at least consonant with the best of Christian teaching. I like to think that, when Jobs was composing it, the lessons of his Lutheran catechism kept bubbling up in his mind," Richert wrote.
"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there... Death is very likely the single best invention of Life," Jobs said during his speech.
Paul McCain of Christian blog, CyberBrethren stated in his op-ed about Jobs' passing that his confirmation classes were taught by Rev. Dr. Martin Taddey, who was known for being the pastor of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Palo Alto, California.
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod spoke with The Christian Post and has stated that they are currently attempting to confirm whether or not Jobs was a member of their church.
Officials from the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church were unavailable for comment.

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects of niacin are stomach upset, flushing, headache, reduced blood pressure upon standing (orthostatic hypotension), vomiting, diarrhea, itching and tingling sensations of the extremities. Flushing may be reduced by taking 325 mg of aspirin 30 minutes before the niacin and by increasing the dose of niacin slowly. Drinking hot liquids or alcohol shortly before or after niacin is taken may increase the occurrence of flushing. Extended release formulations of niacin may cause flushing less frequently than immediate release formulations. Rare cases of liver failure or muscle injury have occurred from the use of niacin. Blood tests to monitor for liver injury should be performed before niacin therapy begins, every 6-12 weeks for the first year, and then occasionally thereafter. Niacin should be discontinued if liver tests are greater than three times the upper limit of normal, are persistently elevated, or are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or weakness.

A bee on the scrotum. A bee with its proboscis poised. A bee which would keep adversaries away. A bee which held death in its very caress. For the three men who straddled the seat of power in the last decade Major Hamza Al-Mustapha was like a bee on the scrotum. Both good and bad news. After his initial spell of service with General Abacha, while the latter was Chief of Army Staff, ended with a punitive transfer to Port Harcourt, Al-Mustapha returned. This time he left nothing to chance as he deployed his guile, ruthlessness and 'ingenuity' to supplant rivals and make himself the only formidable force around Abacha. Abacha lived on his very word. Mustapha's was the last word, on who he could keep as friends or allies. The goggled General did all this not knowing that his trusted ally had all his telephone lines and conference halls bugged. After Abacha's demise, Al-Mustapha would admit bugging his boss and leaving Aso Rock with an impressive memorabilia; 13 Ghana Must Go bags which contained documents and tapes. It was no surprise that Abacha never bothered to swat this fly, even though it kept the rest of the world away from him. Even though it made him a prisoner of his fears. Abubakar cast a benevolent eye on the fly, assessed its worth and abstained from any bodily movement that could have resulted in the fly digging in for a suicide sting. But only one man could have risked a swat even if his scrotum would have been crushed. President Olusegun Obasanjo. Since he came into power Obasanjo had stopped at nothing to cut the former powerful Chief Security Officer down to size. First was Al-Mustapha's arrest and initial detention for alleged gun running. This was followed by his incarceration and trial for murder. Now a spell in the gulag for alleged treasonable activities. Is Mustapha a victim, or a smooth operator who dipped his hand into his bag of tricks and came up with blanks?

A Texas Chick-fil-A on the Mike Huckabee-declared "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" in 2012.
University of Georgia junior Cody Knapp came home grinning from ear to ear with a Chick-fil-A meal and a large iced tea last Wednesday.
He had been boycotting the restaurant since early August after its president said the company supported the "biblical definition of the family unit." But shortly after it was announced last week that Chick-fil-A would cease funding anti-gay marriage organizations through its own non-profit WinShape Foundation, Knapp, a gay man, ended his abstinence.
He sank his teeth into the restaurant's delicious chicken sandwiches on three different days last week.
The company's apparent reversal came after a growing list of cities and campuses began denying Chick-fil-A the right to open stores.
"Amazing what happens when you realize that people under 30 — by far the largest consumers of fast food — overwhelmingly support LGBT equal rights, including marriage, and decide that it's important to grow the business," the Orange County Register wrote.
But then came news that Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told talk show host Mike Huckabee that his company had not changed its policy.
While the policy change denied by Cathy — originally announced by Chicago Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno — represents positive intentions toward gays, Chick-fil-A's confusing and contradictory statements have not enabled the company to pick up much ground in the gay community.
"I'm never going to eat Chick-fil-A like I did. I have negative feelings about the company," Knapp said.
Knapp said that the gay community had been aware for several years of Chick-fil-A's charitable contributions, and had avoided the restaurant's food to varying degrees. Knapp, too, had been aware of the finances, but personally had felt fine supporting the restaurant until controversy erupted in late summer involving Cathy's statements in support of the traditional family.
After Huckabee announced the resulting Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, Knapp knew he had to pick sides because the restaurant was becoming symbolic of a larger struggle.
"I'm from the South. They're from the South. I get that that is how Chick-fil-A is. But Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day is what motivated me."
Chick-fil-A brings in $4.1 billion each year and the WinShape Foundation donated about $1.1 million to "anti-gay marriage" groups from 2003 to 2008. That number comes out to less $200,000 annually, most of which is given to organizations like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, whose chief focus is ministering to athletes.
"What made [the Chick-fil-A controversy] unusual was that it has nothing at all to do with the food, the business or its employees as far as I can tell. It's just the opinions of the owner and his support of the anti-gay marriage agenda," said Ken Albala, a professor at University of the Pacific who studies food culture.
Khalil Farah, a first-year law student at Florida State, was not convinced the Chick-fil-A boycott was an effective means of protest.
"I think when you look back at the serious boycotts through civil rights history, like the Montgomery bus boycott, you notice they all involve serious sacrifice on behalf of the protestors," Farah said. "This 'boycott' involves choosing between fast food restaurants. At worst it's an inconvenience and at best a healthier alternative."

Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton developed a love for country music through his brother's Hank Williams Jr. obsession and entered youth beauty pageants just to compete in the talent portions. He and his mullet moved up to playing local honky-tonks before heading to Nashville at 17. After several years of pounding pavement in the country capital and connecting with industry vet Bobby Braddock, Shelton released his debut album in 2001 and scored his first No. 1 with "Austin." His sophomore effort, The Dreamer, dropped in 2003, the same year he married Kaynette Williams. The marriage had gone belly up by the time he paired with Miranda Lambert for the 2005 CMT special "100 Greatest Duets." Their connection was immediate and soon after she moved a few miles down the road from him. To promote his fifth CD, 2008's Startin' Fires, the "Hillbilly Bone" crooner hit the road with his future bride. (They got engaged with matching guns in 2010, a busy year for Shelton as he finally won his first ACM award, was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and nabbed male vocalist of the year at the CMAs. He started his bromance with fellow coach Adam Levine on "The Voice" in 2011 and has mentored his talent successfully to the top three times. He exchanged vows with Lambert in Texas in May 2011 and shared the 2012 song of the year trophy with her at the CMAs for "Over You." His latest CD, Based On A True Story, won album of the year at the 2013 CMAs, where he and his boo took home matching best vocalist trophies.

I listened to Selena Kitt over on Dead Robots Society
I liked what she had to say. She is a smart cookie.
Burt Mavericks ~ Double Teamed By Daddy And Uncle
BUT… again what I disagree with is the basic fact when you talk about All Romance eBooks or Bookstrand or Fictionwise they may have ended up selling edgy stuff because they have been selling Erotic Romance and so on but they really are not setup to handle selling porn.
There is no age restriction stuff, no warnings, and no age verification built in and it's that structural evidence that causes the issues. People uploading stuff that does not fit the format or the purpose of the website involved or what the owners have used to handle credit card processing "agreement wise" and so on from the ground up. The very reasons most of them have a TOS in the first place.
That is not addressed in this interview and that is the real issue I have. Was Siren breaking a few of their own rules with their own content? Sure, but that is on them and now they have to clean up their own house because they are under the microscope. It's not if porn is good or bad… I buy it, and I am fine in stating I buy it, and I read it. Smart people do that stuff when they are being honest.
What I see is an almost underhanded abuse of these eBook vendors by the porn publishers and writers uploading their stuff to websites obviously not meant to handle hardcore porn. People ignoring the obvious for their own benefit. It is the argument continually made that the very well known rules in the TOS should not apply to their books. It is pretty clear to me that is what needs to be addressed whether or not sex sells or porn writers are smart or good business people etc etc etc none of that is the issue here.
It's the whole why do these folks in particular not understand self restraint and what is appropriate behavior based on the apparent functionality of the vendor website involved? You want to be treated with respect for your work but you show them none by your collective actions.
At least that seems to be what the owners of these websites are saying and I agree with them on that note from what I was observing just browsing the new additions lists. My last question is simple… If you are doing so well and making so much money why are you people not putting together your own vendor website appropriately designed and geared towards selling your porn the way you want?

Five months after a devastating tornado roared through Henryville, students are getting ready to return to class.
The powerful EF-4 tornado blew through on March 2, decimating homes and businesses. Nearly half the elementary and junior/senior high school building was destroyed, forcing students to finish the school year in temporary facilities as crews worked to rebuild.
"Life goes on and you just keep helping people and getting everybody through it," Carter said. "It's going to be okay."
This will be the 43rd "first day of school" for Carter, who admitted she still had some preparations to make.
"I will probably not leave here until ten o'clock tonight," she said.
For Assistant Superintendent John Reed of West Clark Schools, the opening comes much sooner than anticipated.
"Right after the tornado hit I was thinking like a year, more like a year and a half, so it's pretty phenomenal to be at this point five months later," Reed said. "Miracles happen. I think the message we want to send to our kids is through your faith and supporting each other, you can get through just about anything."
The smell of fresh paint still lingered Monday in the black and gold hallway of the high school where pictures of the Hornets' past hung on redone walls. Some still can't believe how quickly the rebuilding work progressed.
"They've worked 24/7, so it's just amazing how we've been able to get back in the building," said teacher Debbie Downing. "There's a few little things that have to be finished up, but all and all it's pretty good. It's just kind of neat to be back home again."
Those who talked to Fox59 said Henryville wouldn't be getting back on its feet without the help of thousands of people across the country who donated time and resources to rebuild.
"You think you go through this devastation and you'd be down on the world, but we're truly blessed," Carter said.

Daily Links and a Few Words About Ads
Published on - April 1st, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Aside from Bacon Salt, I don't usually call attention to the advertising at Get Rich Slowly. However, for the next two weeks there will be a couple of ads in the sidebar that deserve an explanation.
The first is labelled "8 secrets your credit card company doesn't want you to know". I think it looks a little scammy, but I assure you it's not. When this ad first appeared in February, I checked out the link myself. It actually leads to a free report about credit cards from personal finance gurus Ken and Daria Dolan. If that's something that might interest you, then check it out. (I was paid a flat rate for the ad, so clicking on it isn't going to boost my income.)
The second ad is for Mokuhankan fine quality woodblock prints. Reader Dave Bull e-mailed me last fall after my review of Don Lancaster's The Incredible Secret Money Machine. Bull makes a living from producing hand-made woodblock prints, which is pretty much right in line with Lancaster's philosophy. I love this idea, and offered to run an ad for Bull's art from time-to-time.
One last thing before we get to the links: A couple of readers have asked recently how they can best support me financially. Click on ads? Subscribe to the feed? To understand how blog income works, check out a recent mailbag at The Simple Dollar. In short, please do not click on ads just to be "be nice". If something interests you, then be all means explore it. But clicking to help me may actually do more harm than good in the long run. The best way you can help is to keep reading, and to keep contributing fantastic comments and story suggestions. (Linking to posts and submitting stories to social networking sites are also helpful.)
Whew! That's a lot about advertising. How about some personal finance links?
In the current issue of Newsweek, there's a brief blurb about The Wine Trials, a book that lists 100 cheap wines that beat more expensive wines in blind taste-tests. One of my favorites — a $10 bottle of Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut — outscored a $150 bottle of Dom Perignon. (But I like the Domaine Ste. Michelle Blanc de Noirs even better.) On a related note, a recent Stanford University study demonstrated that price changes the way people perceive wine.
At Smart Spending, Donna Freedman outlines a day in the life of the frugal. "Not everyone can or will take frugality to such an extreme," she writes. "But even a few steps…can add up surprisingly fast. Frugal hacks start to feel normal. Paying full price starts to feel irritating."
On Sunday, AncientPC left a comment linking to an interesting New York Times article. Apparently, even at megastores, hagglers are finding that no price is set in stone. "Savvy consumers, empowered by the Internet and encouraged by a slowing economy, are finding that they can dicker on prices, not just on clearance items or big-ticket products like televisions but also on lower-cost goods like cameras, audio speakers, couches, rugs and even clothing." Absolutely fascinating.
Finally, Five Cent Nickel recently posted the lazy cheapskate's guide to saving the planet. If you're concerned about the environment, there are a number of small ways to make a difference. Adopt some of these and work your way up to bigger steps. (And don't forget: the number one way to save the environment is to buy less stuff.)
One final note: I've tried all three flavors of Bacon Salt now. The peppered version is by far my favorite. The hickory is also good. The regular Bacon Salt is okay, but isn't as good as its brethren.
This article is about Administration, Spare Change
Great recap. I enjoyed article on Frugality. I can attest to the power of frugality as I enjoy frugality in everyday life. I believe that I have achieved on paper a millionaire status by keeping frugality at core. I would love to have you look at my article on 4 habits of Millionaire in making @ http://www.successsoul.com/blog/
You have a great blog …
Please pass along to Dave Bull that his artwork is absolutely stunning. I'm in a "no-buy" period for art these days, otherwise I'd have to buy something.
Thanks for the explanation on your ads, JD. I wondered if just clicking them ever helped anybody…
And I totally laughed at your "brethren" line at the end… just tickled me for some reason.
David has some gorgeous art and his comments are funny and informative. I'm passing along his link to a friend that will enjoy it. Thanks!
Private ad sales are definitely the way to go. Now, if only I had the traffic to support it …
Congrats on adding the advertisers. As a reader, it doesn't bother me at all.
It doesn't really save the planet, but folding@home is the laziest and cheapest way to help mankind. folding.stanford.edu
That and donating blood.
It is great to see someone asking people to only click on their advertisements if they ar einterested in them. I woudl be very cross if I was an advertiser and thought people were clicking my ads just as a favour or to 'pay' the webmaster rather than through any interest in the ad itself.
my dad works at a ny area electronics/appliance chain, and all their prices, except on a few products (like iPods, or certain high end brands) are negotiable – as long as you ask…
This fixation you have with bacon salt can't be healthy. Let it go
I have to say, I look forward to your bacon salt reviews almost as much as your PF posts.
Thanks for the information, JD. And I saw that news story about wine, too. Funny how we think we're getting quality when we spend more. Actually, the same thing happens at colleges and universities. I've worked in higher education for 5+ years and it's not uncommon to hear about a substantial increase in admission applications at institutions that significantly raise their tuition & fees. People think that, just like wine, they get quality if they 'pay' for quality. NOT TRUE AT ALL. High school students should choose their school by what they can afford and what campus feels right to them in terms of their educational goals, not on reputation alone.
Interesting information about page views and the ads, but how about the feed? If the only way I read your site is using Google Reader, do you still get your ad revenue?

It's time to celebrate Blaine's marine heritage with a family-fun-packed festival the first weekend in August.
Drayton Harbor Days takes place Saturday and Sunday, August 4 and 5, at Blaine Harbor Boating Center and will be filled with family and children's marine themed activities both days.
On both days, arts and crafts and food vendors will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If you want to get out on the water, the tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain will provide adventure sails and evening sails from noon to 5 p.m. for $39 and walk-on tours all day for $3. Reservations are encouraged and can be made online at historicalseaport.org. Also hop aboard the historic Plover Ferry, which will run from noon to 8 p.m.
Games for children will be held at the Blaine Harbor Boating Center. For the first time, there will be a model steamboat race. These races will run all day and feature miniature steel boats that actually run on steam. Also at the center, model boats will be on display from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This historic race gives participants the opportunity to build a vessel out of any household item, so everyone can participate regardless of how much money they can spend on the event, said Richard Sturgill, founding director of Drayton Harbor Maritime.
Pirate costume contest judging for children and adults will take place at 2 p.m. at the Blaine Harbor Boating Center.

The 8 Ball 03.02.13: The Top 8 Wrestling Insult Comics
Posted by
Ken Hill
on 03.02.2013
From the Rock and Shawn Michaels to Bobby Heenan, Edge, Chris Jericho and more, 411's Ken Hill counts down the top 8 wrestling insult comics of all time!
Willkommen, boys und girls to ze 8-Ball! Ken Hill, the igniter, the exciter, YOUR "Kennection to All Things Wrestling" is here once again to present another random topic in the wild world of professional wrestling!
This week, we cover what should be a very fun, yet broad topic in wrestling's greatest insult comics. You have your one-liners, your zingers, and rips on the audience and/or other wrestlers that have stood the test of time and remain gut-bustingly hilarious to this day.
If I may be serious for a minute...when I mean one-liners, I MEAN one-liners; don't expect to see trademark insults listed here. That's because I see them as fall-backs and go-to insults when a wrestler or announcer isn't feeling particularly creative and is just looking for the familiarity-based crowd pop or the usual jab at another person. With that being said, don't be surprised if a certain Brahma Bull doesn't immediately spike the charts on this go-around.
8. The Undertaker
"Next time, KNOCK!"
"Tell me, why don't you say "What?" if you like to sleep with your own sister?" *cue half the audience still saying "What?" *
Don't be so surprised by this entry. While Taker's "Biker" days were considered by many to simply be a rest period for his "Deadman" gimmick, there were times where we could see that even an ass-kicking, bike-riding human personification of Death could have a sense of humor. Whether snarking at cops about getting some donuts or beating up Big Show for not being "polite" and knocking on his locker room door, "BikerTaker" had his share of chuckles from the audience. Then there's this, where Taker's just a
fed up with the overused "What?" chants:
7. Shawn Michaels
That (in)famous promo in 2005 by the legendary HBK goes to show that even in the advanced stages of his career, after having taken on a life as a born-again Christian, Shawn had no problem switching mindsets, deriding hometowns (particularly those in Canada and shooting straight with his opponents like he would back in the 1990s. If that wasn't enough, he gave Hulk Hogan a
insult by overselling EVERY...SINGLE...MOVE in their vaunted match at Summerslam '05, during which you can hear Lawler and company barely able to hold their laughter in. What really sends it home is this promo after Summerslam:
6. Scott Steiner
"Ya know, they say 'all men are created equal', but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe, and you can see that that statement is not true. Ya see, normally, when you go 1 on 1 with another wrestler, you got a 50-50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal, so you got a 25% chance at best of beating me. And then you add Kurt Angle to the mix? Your chances of winning drastically go down. Ya see, the three way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning. But ya see I got a 66 2/3 chance of winning cause Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me, and he's not even going to try. So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance minus my 25% chance, and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance if we was to go 1 on 1, and then add 66 2/3%, I got a 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. Ya see, Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell 'disaster' for you at Sacrifice."
That glorious mathematical exposition is just one of dozens of reasons Scott Steiner is a comic GENIUS. The man only knows one mode of promo: Angrish. Whether it was WCW, WWE or TNA, "The Big Bad Booty Daddy" was always in the camera's face, spouting off "eloquent" pieces of script that went in directions no ever would ever think they could go. Nothing was off limits for Steiner in his promos: Countries, Samoa Joe, Bully Ray, Mathematics. In WCW, the man once used astrological terms and quantum theories to describe his freaks' lust over him while verbally running down Goldberg. Seriously. It HAS to be seen to be believed:
5. Edge
"And I quote...Michael Cole is still a massive tool."
"Hey Billy [Gunn], you're a human vacuum cleaner: You manage to suck and blow at the same time!"
He's seen it all, done it all, and has snarked anyone foolish enough to get in his verbal crosshairs. The former "Rated R Superstar" has always been known for seizing on opportunities inside the ring. He's also notorious for speaking his mind unabashed and is an equal-opportunity insulter, deriding any superstar or WWE personality he deems fit for a tongue lashing. We all certainly remember his moments with Christian, being the originator of Kurt Angle's iconic "You Suck!" chants, as well as his time as King of the Ring in 2001. However, it's in the twilight of his career where we really see the sarcastic, deadpan variety of Edge's humor blossom:
4. Triple H
"The Cerebral Assassin" has shown over the years that he can dissect virtually anyone just as easily in the ring as he can on the mic. Whether tootling round doing spot-on hilarious parodies with DX, lording over the RAW roster as World Champion, or palling around with Shawn Michaels, you could be guaranteed some form of hilarity from "The Game" when he gets a hold of a microphone. Breaking the fourth wall, penis jokes, less-than-savory pop culture references, embarrassing photoshopped pictures with an obligatory punny quip; Hunter went up and down the sliding scale of good and bad humor with relative ease and (most of) the crowd would eat it up.
3. The Rock
"The Rock says this: If The Rock hits you, he'll kill you. If he misses, the wind behind the punch will give you pneumonia and you'll die anyway, so the choice is yours jabroni!"
"Four Rock Bottoms, three People's Elbows on your two buck teeth, AND AN ASS-KICKING ALL OVER NEW ORLEANS!"
Before any diehard Rocky fans start in on me over this "outrage", I said outright he wouldn't be topping this list; he's coined so many phrases over the years that any longtime wrestling fan can watch a promo of his in the last year or so and tell if he's keeping relatively fresh or simply falling back on tried-and-true crowd-poppers like "FINALLY..."
In that same token, however, it's the inordinate number of ways that Rock has talked smack to opponents over the years that has him ranked up this high in my opinion. He's an coiner; in his heyday, Rock cultivated new ways to insult and demoralize his opponents week in and week out. He could get "The People" to chant an seemingly innocuous insult just by asking them, and it would get to whoever the insult was directed at. He's as straight a shooter as they come in the industry, and the Smackdowns he laid on the mic were just as mean as the ones he laid in the ring.
2. Chris Jericho
"Congratulations, Vince - after 647 consecutive run-ins during my matches, you have decided that due to outside interference, in the interest of fairness, it's time to play it safe. Well maybe if you woulda had that Socratarian wisdom the night Stephanie was conceived, the world we live in would be a much less slutty place."
If there's any one thing that Chris Jericho is truly one of the best in the world at, it's making the crowd roar and keeping them in stitches with his verbal hijinks. The insult to Vince and Stephanie McMahon above is just a drop in the bucket of the thousands of insults and quips that Jericho has unleashed over the years. From his "interviews" with "Stinko" Malenko and Goldberg parodies in WCW to his provocative verbal jabs at Stephanie and other supposed "trash-bag hos" and getting under the skin of The Great One in the WWE, Jericho has never failed to rile up the crowd and is never at a loss for something to say. Even as a "honest man", Jericho continued to amuse with his over-the-top, "dime-store-thesaurus" words of the day and making public verbal protests about his supposed mistreatment by the WWE higher-ups. Like his wrestling style, hair, outfits, and tights, Jericho has constantly changed his style of comedy and articulation to not only match his character, but to keep up with the quick-witted verbal styling of a new generation, such as that of Dolph Ziggler.
1. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Jim Ross: "Virgil is unconscious."
Bobby: "When Virgil's unconscious he's usually on his feet talking to you."
"If you're poor and you do something stupid, you're nuts. If you're rich and do something stupid, you're eccentric."
The ULTIMATE snarker of professional wrestling, "The Brain" could be heard everywhere in his heyday; in the ring hyping and managing another star to try and take down the Hulkster, or as part of the most legendary commentary duo with Gorilla Monsoon as his exasperated straight man ("Will you stop?!"). Whether you were in WCW or WWE, if you walked, talked, or even just breathed in Heenan's general vicinity, he'd have a razor-tipped quip ready and loaded.
Didn't matter if you were Hulk Hogan or Billy Kidman, didn't matter if it was the Guerrero family or the entire state of Texas, Heenan always had a hilariously snide remark in the ready and it's was a never-ending ride with him. Even when he needed surgery for his throat cancer, he quipped, "If the late, great Gorilla Monsoon couldn't shut me up, cancer isn't going to either."
Thank you all for reading on my post of the 8-Ball, and I certainly promise to bring you more exciting, unique topics in professional wrestling to count down. However, don't be afraid to suggest your own topics in the comments section. In the wacky, wild world of professional wrestling, there's a multitude of ideas to explore and you never know when you might stumble on a fresh idea no one's considered before. Ciao for now, boys and girls!

AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia players are still talking about how close they came to playing in Monday night's national championship game.
Sure, Tuesday's 45-31 Capital One Bowl win over Nebraska was nice, but it wasn't for the national title. The Bulldogs are still feeling the aftershocks from their 32-28 loss in the Southeastern Conference championship game to Alabama last month that ended with Georgia on the Crimson Tide's 5-yard line.
Coach Mark Richt says the Bulldogs wanted to prove to themselves in the bowl game that they are 1 of the nation's top teams.
Georgia (12-2) became only the third team in school history to reach 12 wins. Aaron Murray, who threw five TD passes against Nebraska, Jarvis Jones and other juniors must decide if they will enter the NFL draft.

Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell has spent months quietly trying to build consensus around a plan to shutter state liquor stores established after Prohibition and return the distribution of alcohol to private wholesalers and retailers, the Washington Post reported July 18.
The plan would likely mean far more places where residents could buy liquor in a state where beer and wine can already be purchased in supermarkets and various other retail outlets. New tax revenues arising from the transfer to private hands would be directed to fixing the state's transportation infrastructure.
McDonnell says he opposes government-run liquor stores based on free-market principals and is seeking bipartisan support for his plan, as well as backing from faith-based groups, the alcohol industry, and others. However, some religious conservatives and health experts oppose the plan because they fear a rise in drunk driving and other alcohol-related problems.
Various proposals could lead to the number of liquor retailers in the state rising from the current 322 state stores to up to 3,000. A detailed plan is expected to be released in August.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- The Georgia Gwinnett College mascot General Grizzly glad-handed with the best of the politicians Wednesday at the State Capitol.
The big stuffed bear brought some comic relief to a day filled with tense discussions, including a vote on a constitutional amendment on charter schools.
But the reason for his visit was quite serious: showcasing the second-largest county in Georgia at a time when legislators are deciding its future.
"Our purpose is to show the whole state, the General Assembly and executive officers ... we want to show what we bring to the table," said the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce's Jann Moore about the annual Gwinnett Day event.
With 26,000 businesses in the community, the Chamber of Commerce is using the platform to talk about issues that could help the private sector create more jobs.
Those include a proposal to end a sales tax on energy for manufacturing and a committee working to "stop the red tape," and find ways to ease regulations, Moore said.
"It's just tooting our horn about how great Gwinnett is," she added.
Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville, said Gwinnett Day isn't as much for local legislators as it is for those in other parts of the state. For example, he said he always learns a little more about Savannah on Savannah Day each year.
"I saw the bear here. It's fun," he said. "That's a great asset we have in Gwinnett County."
That knowledge helps when issues, such as funding for the fledgling Georgia Gwinnett College, come up, legislators agreed.
"When people see who we are and what we are, it's very important when we start asking for things," said Rep. Brooks Coleman, R-Duluth. "It's good to showcase our county and what we do for our state."
Rep. Donna Sheldon, R-Dacula, who introduced the Gwinnett leaders in attendance from the well of the House chambers, said the community is an integral part of the top issue at the General Assembly this year: jobs.
"It's great to have Gwinnett citizens down here, seeing how the process works and to have input," she said.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin was well represented at this year's Boston Marathon.
Over 400 runners took part, with approximately 45 from Northeast Wisconsin.
One of them is former State Representative Steve Wieckert of Appleton. He finished the marathon about five minutes before the explosions happened.
"All of a sudden there was this big, muffled bang, very loud, but muffled and we turned around in that direction and heard another bang immediately and then saw the smoke from that second bang," Wieckert told FOX 11.
Wieckert says he knew something was seriously wrong when police escorted him and other runners in the opposite direction.
Fellow Appleton-area runner Chad Gruett finished about an hour and a half before the explosions. He says there was a lot of confusion.
"It's been pretty chaotic since then. The police have the area all cordoned of. They swept the area looking for any additional devices," said Gruett.
Both Gruett and Wieckert say the other runners from the Fox Valley they traveled with are alright. But communication has been tough for those here at home trying to contact loved ones in Boston.
Gruett and Wieckert are asking why this happened?
"Shock and disbelief," said Gruett.
"Pretty angry, pretty angry. It's just a world-class event and then to have this happen," stated Wieckert.
And Wieckert is thankful he finished when he did, just moments before the blasts. Leg cramps almost held him back.
"By a few minutes, I think, I think I could've been right there. So I'm a little shook to be honest with you," said Wieckert.

We accept the awesome responsibility of being entrusted with the lives of God's children and meet that responsibility enthusiastically. We strive for excellence in everything we do, mindful that the time we have with the children in our care will shape the success they will experience throughout their lives.
