PM Roundup: A Box Office Smash

Baseball, Email, Fighting, NBA, Pop Culture, Television, Video, What the hell is wrong with people Cousins of Ron Mexico 50 Comments »

Nothing racy today…Its just Kimbo Slice’s new buddy, Kaley Cuoco… You want to see something a bit more salacious as the week winds down, lemme know… Update: Not sure what happened to the original. We’ll try and make up for it.

Anyone going to see The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at midnight? I had my doubts when I first heard about it (Indiana Jones is pushing like…100?)… And the response at Cannes was just a bit warmer than Medaillen received… Either way I’ll be checking it out before the weekend is over… One theater in my area will be showing it 26 times tomorrow…

When Agents Explode: David Sloane’s Bizarre Email

Baseball, Douchy Agents, Email TheBigLead 36 Comments »

Dan Graziano is an occasionally hot-headed baseball writer for the Newark Star-Ledger. David Sloane is Carlos Delgado’s agent, and from what you’re about to read, clearly crazy. The two got into an e-mail tete-a-tete over Delgado’s contract, and Graziano decided to blog about it because of Sloane’s last response: Read the rest of this entry »

Saturday Roundup: Long Road To Droolin’

Commenters Doing All The Work, ESPN, Email, MMA, UFC, Video Cousins of Ron Mexico 24 Comments »

If you’re curious why The Roundup is so weak its because Gonzo basically wrote it…I had been drinking and was in no shape to put together a collection of links….Luckily he was

Anyone that will be following along all weekend…You will get Rick Rolled…I promise…

With the combination of Elisha Cuthbert’s reemergence as being flawless and the TBL community starting to appreciate Mila Kunis, I thought it would be a great time to use this picture from 5(!) years ago…. For what it’s worth, ESPN wants you to know Miguel Tejada was 30 when this photo was taken… Onto the links…

Weeks-Late Installment of the E-Bag

Email TheBigLead 44 Comments »

The only reason we’re not doing a regular email roundup is because as the site has grown, so has the email, and it’s like that massive pile of papers on your desk that you keep neglecting. plus, you hated it last time around. The dorky all-caps headlines are ours; the italics are from you. Read the rest of this entry »

A Sunday Evening Photo Essay

Blithering Idiots, College Football, Email, NFL Cousins of Ron Mexico 13 Comments »

strahangappage.jpgI received a few pictures this weekend that didn’t really justify full posts so here’s a crazy little photo essay of all the weird stuff I get in my e-mail now that I’m a super-important blogger.

Here’s Michael Strahan looking like he just won the Special Super Bowl. He’s probably saying something extremely moronic and obnoxious along the lines of “stomp it out.”

After the jump, a quarterback as Borat and yet another return of the infamous Tebow Girl. Read the rest of this entry »

Hate Mail is Always Fun, Part II

Email TheBigLead 65 Comments »

Haven’t done this in awhile, we’re not making this a regular feature, and it’s not nearly as awesome as the first one. But we got a nice chuckle out of it when we read it, and we were strangely honored that someone would be take the time to email all of their gripes to us. All of this beef happens to come in … the best month we’ve ever had! For the first time in our nearly two-year history, we hit 2 million page views this month. We had less than 500k last January. It’s probably due to the weekend bloggers, those guys kick ass.

Subject: THE tackle.
To: Chris Berman

You have mentioned THE Pass by flutie.

No one ever mentions THE tackle. The steelers were going in for a short yardage touchdown when Jerome Bettis fumbled. Ball recovered and going the other way for a winning touchdown. Rothlisberger was the last man and he made THE tackle by barely grabbing the runners foot.

Hate Mail, Always Fun!

Baseball, Email TheBigLead 42 Comments »

We suspect that what you are about to read is all because of this post, but hopefully, you’ll find it funny. It all likelihood, the emailer is talking about you guys. We haven’t altered a thing:

“You people are TOTAL LOSERS, why else would you be doing something like this with your time. The only reason I feel the need to respond to the blogs that I read is because his girlfriend is a dear friend of mine and my husbands, he coached her in softball and she is one of the greatest, hardworking, ethical woman I know.
