PM Roundup: Place Your Bets

Sorry if anyone is sick of Marisa Miller. I know ever since the SI Swimsuit cover she’s been everywhere. It’s just that sometimes, I feel lazy and have to result to new pictures of the same person doing the same thing. In this case, it’s Marisa Miller being hot.

Whats with the early roundup, now I think the day is almost over and its not. I read that not only is DirecTV paying 1 Billion a year for Sunday Ticket, they will pay it in 2011 even if the league doesnt have a CBA and there is no football being played.

more than anything, i like that coop knows when posts are coming. that’s dedication.
March 24th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Chris Cooley is my new favorite celebrity blogger. Read his response to one of the d-bags who from Cleveland who now hate him. Great stuff!
coop: that means game, set and match for the owners. They will each get $31 million/year in DirecTV revenue alone, and have no payroll expenses. They’ll make more money on strike than if they played.
March 24th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
not exactly.

Best part of the DirecTV thing:

who was the one talking up In Bruges? Watching the final 30 minutes … somewhat interesting

I know King and Banks are at the Owner’s Meetings, so they are getting the “party line” from the owners, but if these articles are true, the players better figure out how they can re-up ASAP.

OMG!!! A FAN GETS EXCITED AND WRITES A NASTY LETTER!!! WHAT A D-BAG!!!
who’s the d-bag, a guy getting pissed at some retarded comments aimed at his city by cooley or cooley for using the lame excuse, “I would be pissed to go to San Diego, Baltimore, or even New England?”
March 24th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
It’s going to take DirecTV and the NFL 3 years to get the games online? Is it that difficult to do it now?
March 24th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
spence you’re right, the city of cleveland doesnt suck the entire state of ohio does…
/ducks
//just being a dick

probably the 200 people that are pissed about the comments that were never made about their city. those guys.

TBL – it’s pretty painful to watch the entire thing. I don’t know who would have talked that movie up.
March 24th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
you should be able to sympathize as a buffalonian(?).
and when all the shit you hear is about lebron leaving because cleveland sucks, cleveland sucking in general, mistake by the lake, etc, this kind of shit doesn’t sit well. just ONCE it’d be nice to hear someone say something decent about cleveland.
/still can’t wait to leave
March 24th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Absolute shit movie.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
um……searching…..searching………its not detroit?
March 24th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
could never get tired of marisa miller

I like the Indians’logo… and there are some nice golf tracks in the surrounding area.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
spencer: I agree 100%. I never said cleveland sucks. I have NEVER said that (just the Browns…and that’s a football thing). I was more commenting on the 200 comments it generated, and, to be fair, all you had to do was to go to Bills blogs two weeks ago: half the people love the TO signing, the other half are ready to never watch another game because of the “what will other cities think of us signing him” inferiority complex the Buffalos, Clevelands, and Detroits have. Pittsburgh should have one too, but they’ve been breathing toxic steel fumes for 80 years so they are all brain damaged and they think they’re the greatest.
I completely get it about the city. I got into on here w/ someone about Buffalo when TO signed.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
now we’re talking.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
I think my buddy said played Canterbury GC and Shaker something last year. Said he liked both a lot.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
i agree with this.

Buffaronto is a great, great place.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
i used to caddy at canterbury and it’s fucking the tits. the senior PGA champ is there this year and it’ll be the first time i’ve been back since i was smoking doobies with the other caddies behind the bag room.
and shaker CC is nice too. it’s designed kind of like a links course where every hole flows into each other, but it’s clearly an american, northeastern style course. they’re also like a quarter mile away from each other.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
They take a Steeler beating better than most, thats a compliment right?
Many people shit on Cleveland having spent little or no time here, I’m going on 4 years in this hellhole, so I’m allowed to disparage as I see fit.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Don’t EVER feel the need to apologize for Marisa Miller.
Do apologize when there is not enough Marisa Miller.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
i have been to ohio but not cleveland and i was just making fun of it because i like to be a asshole. and because i like to see spence get all butthurt.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Buffaronto is a great, great place.
How’s Austexico in the summertime? Any more beheadings?
March 24th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
@spencer – I had heard of Canterbury before, not Shaker CC. My buddy works for a shafting company that follows the tour around and is lucky enough that he can get a few rounds in here and there at nice courses. His job really sucks ass but that is one perk that makes me jealous of him.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Anyone from Utah making fun of Cleveland is ironic, to say the least. Didn’t he post a picture of his dick on the internet. John Daly thinks this guy is a train wreck.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
@jpq clap…clap…clap, well played
March 24th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
ill…that’s one legit perk.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
In Bruges is the tits.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
On a road trip from Chicago to the east coast, there’s a point when you’ll have to drive through Cleveland. From the expressway, you will have about 60 seconds to enjoy a fantastic view looking into Progressive Field. Granted it’s only 60 seconds worth of decentness (not to mention it means you’re only half-way to your cool destination like Boston or NYC), but it’s still decent nonetheless.
March 24th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
That, and the Super Bowl rings.

You saw the best part of the movie, the rest sucked. There are some good parts but overall Colin Farrell killed the movie.
March 24th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
TBL. If you ever apologize for showing Marisa Miller on here again, I will be forced to delete your site as my home page and give up on it forever. There are just things that guys don’t do:
1. Sleep with your friend’s (ex) girlfriend.
2. Cock-block your boy.
3. Apologize for too much Marisa Miller.

Yeah TBL, you should answer for CRM’s transgressions!
