The Roundup: Is Mariotti Still Gone?

Cartoons, College Athletics, ESPN, Music, NFL, Video Games Cousins of Ron Mexico 68 Comments »

Happy Friday… It’s Dr. Elliot Reed… At some random awards show in the distant past… Keep sending the e-mails…

If I can promise you guys one thing today, it’s an increase in college football posts… I know it’s not hard to increase “0″ but I’m still going to give you my word…

I was going to put together a breakdown of our draft, but it feels like the time for that has already passed. Besides, after all the work Sparty did putting together his league preview of our “Jerry League*,” I think that no more needs to be said. Feel free to give me guff because I like 2-quarterback leagues. It’s probably the most outlandish thing you’ll hear today! (Sparty and Friends)

Hogan Knows Douche

Blithering Idiots, Cartoons, Rich Old White People Patrick Imig 15 Comments »

New details have come out regarding Hulk Hogan’s divorce to one time mubby, Linda.  According to Linda, Hulk attempted to get her to sign a post-nuptial agreement and Hulk is hiding $10 million from a 2007 real estate transaction.  She has asked a judge to freeze Hulk’s assets and prohibit the Hulkster from using money from the transaction in question.  Linda also took $1.5 million from their joint accounts due to Hulk’s suspicious behavior, but says she hasn’t spent it. Â ÂÂ

It’s been a wild couple of months for Hulk.  Here’s a general timeline:

– August 2007: Son Nick gets in a car accident.  Friend John Graziano remains paralyzed as a result of the crash.  Nick Hogan has a history of careless driving.

– Nick had alcohol in his system.  He’s under 21.Â

– Hulk was with Nick, John and 2 other friends when they bought beer the day of the accident.Â

– Hogan family releases statement about the crash and deflects criticism onto the victim, Graziano…. “The tragedy is compounded by the fact that unfortunately, John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his. Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt.”

– It’s revealed that Hulk and Linda are getting divorced.  Hulk learns of the news from a reporter.

– Linda requests the children and “liberal visitation” for Hulk.  She also asks for child support payments, for Hulk to pay for Nick’s medical insurance and asks for a life insurance policy that would cover all the children should Hulk die.  She also wants to equally divide all assets and property and wants Hulk to pay for her attorney fees.

– The St. Petersburg Times comes out with a story that the Hogan divorce is a hoax and only occurring for financial reasons, assuming the Graziano family sues the “parents of Nick Hogan”.Â

I think the timeline illustrates that yes, Hogan knows douche.  But just which Hogan is douchiest?  Linda? Hulk?  Nick?  Paul? [no]  Ben? [no way]

The Perfect Patriots as Super Friends …

Cartoons, NFL TheBigLead 24 Comments »

Falling asleep Wednesday and the late-night fare was weak, so we wound up on Super Friends. This isn’t a show we recall from the 80s; our interests veered more toward Transformers, GI Joe and Smurfs (that diabolical Gargamel). However, as we’re watching the Super Friends narrowly save the world from some ruthless bad guy, it dawned upon us that this could easily become a post. The perfect Patriots as Super Friends …
