16 years ago, I began dabbling in sim leagues. At that time, the craze on the internet was more so basketball. NBA Live 97, 98, and 99 were spectacles, particularly on the PC. Then more complex games or simulators started coming out, many are what you could compare to OOTP nowadays. I even ran several, some went for 10 plus seasons, which was a big deal then. Everything changed when OOTP started gaining steam. Then 6.0 and 6.5 happened. Things would never be the same again.

As always, possible spoilers abound. You've been warned.

Let me start off by asking you this: As you were watching 3rd Rock from the Sun, did you ever think that "Tommy" would end up being the IT actor from that show?

9. SG Alec Burks: Part of a good rebuild for the Jazz, but not outside shot.
8. PG Norris Cole: Early on, looked great. Then the coach effed with the bench. Disappeared.
7. SF Chandler Parsons: All you need ...

You can count me as one that did not expect to see a Ghost Rider sequel. Sure, it made some money. But the bad reviews nearly tripled its gross amount.

In hindsight, I know very little about the comic book character. Sure, in print, Ghost Rider looks like one of the baddest characters around.
