Saturday Roundup: Portland Likes the Blazers and Palin “Fires” Back
Baseball, Heavy Drinking, NBA, NFL, Politics January 10th. 2009, 10:45am
I’ll be here providing places for you to post comments to discuss the NFL playoffs all weekend. If you have anything you think I should share with the rest of the class, send it along to alumnigonzo@gmail.com. Below the jump was our first reader submission of the weekend.
Here is Amanda Bynes who wore a tiny pink dress to the People’s Choice Awards the other night. She even took the time to pose with a doll-like Katy Perry. People’s choice indeed.

You need to watch the Palin video to achieve the full effect. I’ve never heard a native speaker butcher the language on this level. A few points:
1. Caroline Kennedy is getting skewered in the press for her “umms” and “you knows” in her latest public appearance. They’re comparing her to Palin which is the new standard of stupidity.
2. She’s comparing the position of junior senator to NY to VP? Really?
3. The teenager dig was at Palin, not at her kids. The “mama bear rising up in protection” line is either posturing or stupidity. Neither would surprise me.
4. Caribou Barbie is the best nickname of the year.

Should’ve gone with Katy Perry and her ginormous boobs instead of Amanda “Dude” Bynes.

What ever happened to the 2nd Amendment?
In this era of evironmental awareness, the back of the 2nd Ammendment was used as a carbon credit.
My guidance counselor never informed me there was a career in cheerleader athletic trainer. I am so pissed at him right now.

Hines Ward, are you series? I hope Madden cuts you out of the Madden X.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Is that like Malcom X?
January 10th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Amandy Bynes still looks 13.
Put Palin in a rocket and fire it into the sun.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:02 am
Anything to stay in the spot light, you lost, go practice.

If Amanda’s a dude then call me Richard Simmons
January 10th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Yea you are right its the same thing as Malcom Jamal Warner X

When I was six I had a gun rack on my big wheels.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Drive bys on a big wheel are awesome, ahhh good times.

Not to get too political, but I think Palin is absolutely correct. Another example of liberal media. This is the same liberal media that got Obama elected. Kennedy has zero experience, yet the media isn’t saying anything about it. She thinks because she has connections to Obama, she’s qualified. Kennedy picks her interviews and doesn’t answer questions. There is no way she should get the position.

Thats the most gangsta shit I have ever seen happen in “real life”…
January 10th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Palin can cry me a river….EVERYONE capitalized on the election and both she and Obama have made a ton of money for a TON of people….just the way it is when you want to obtainthe highest elected ofice IN THE WORLD….go away….please.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Way to not get political. But, really I agree with you.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:30 am
not to get political at all, but lebron is jesus 2.0.

January 10th, 2009 at 11:32 am
If Kennedy was running for Vice President, methinks it would be just a teeeeeensy bit different. Apple and oranges. Did the media attack Palin when she ran for governor?

Serena Williams has a new photo shoot. (Black Sports Online)

January 10th, 2009 at 11:38 am
False. This has been brought up every day in the NY Times since she announced. Oooohh, the media is trying to manipulate us.

January 10th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Yea loved em
January 10th, 2009 at 11:46 am
You couldn’t be more wrong, Lisa. If I didn’t have this gun, the King of England could just walk in here any time he wants, and start shoving you around. (he starts pushing Lisa) Do you want that? Huh? Do you?
January 10th, 2009 at 11:47 am
Any post that opens up Simpsons quotes is good in my book.

1st lay of the new year, real cute girl from work. Should be lots of fun today when we will probably get snowed in on the job in have to huddle for warmth.
January 10th, 2009 at 11:49 am
Last one guys, I promise…
January 10th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Not that I care, but that spells trouble. Women and work are bad bad combo.

Man, tell me about it. I worked at a daycare this summer and dated this chick. It was rough when we broke up, giving her a bottle just wasn’t the same.

January 10th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
That is not as gross as you think.
“How do you make a 7 year old cry twice?”
or
“What is the best thing about sleeping with 22 year olds?”
January 10th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
1. I forgot the answer to that
2. There’s 20 of them.
January 10th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
@sponge: When you’re married a long time, it’s kinda like getting ready for spring training: “Penis’ and Vaginas scheduled to intersect on February 14th”
January 10th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Baseball Prospectus is usually fun to read, but that was a rather underwhelming “debunking” of the salary cap.
January 10th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Fetch, we’re both sick lol
The answer you forgot was, “wipe your bloddy dick on her teddy bear”
January 10th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Amanda Bynes is actually much hotter in person… you wouldn’t call her a dude, I guarantee that.
