TBL…i don’t know what ballots you stuffed last time to get Tiger Woods past Cheryl Cole, but you’re gonna need to pull ‘em again. there’s no justice in this cruel, cruel world if TW looses to some smokin’ beaver. it’s just not right.

I did my part for Tiger… Although Bar is just orgasmic.
Would the masses please get it right and get Megan Fox out of this thing already?
March 24th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Since she is by far more successful shouldn’t she be referred to as Adriana Lima and he be referred to as her husband? Or is TBL just trying to rig the competition?
March 24th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
I’ll take a smokin’ beaver over a tiger any day, no matter how cool that tiger is.

March 24th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Oh god, if I don’t vote for Erin and Bar and every hot chick, everyone on this blog who has no idea who I am will think I am possibly gay even though they have no idea who I actually voted for.

March 24th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
It’s up there. V. Mars creator Rob Thomas is awesome. I used to love his show Cupid with Piven back in the day, where “let’s hug it out” actually originated. They shot the show on location in Chicago and used so many good spots. Now, they’re remaking it with Bobby Canavalle and transplanting it to Manhattan. The female lead is no Paula Marshall, that’s for sure.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
i voted for simmons and tiger. one because i like to read simmons(gasp! yeah i like his stuff) and 2 when i have kids i can say i saw the greatest golfer who ever lived. i wont be saying “yeah i really thought that erin andrews was hot!” or “yeah that one model who is irrelevant now was hot!”
March 24th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
rape scene? WHAT?
that clip was disturbing sanders. i watched 4 seconds, saw the headline, and bailed. come on, man. i expect better from you.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
that 4 seconds is the most i’ve ever seen of veronica mars.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
That’s weird. I know who she is, but looking at her IMDB, I don’t know where I’d know her from because I never watched any of the things she’s been in.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
I just read Simmons’ article about the NBA state revolution, good stuff. And not one movie reference.

Depending on the guest, I really enjoy listening to his podcasts too. It’s not like talk radio, you can actually just sit back and listen to it. Good for commutes.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I haven’t voted for any of these, but isn’t putting Erin Andrews in any of these a guaranteed way for her to win? Seems dumb to me.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Speaking of creepy scenes, someone link Paula Marshalls hot tub scene in Nip/Tuck. Show was good at first but is now beyond unwatchable.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Great show, especially the first season. Seems like it be in your wheelhouse, seeing how you like teen shows and mysteries.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Come on, Veronica Mars is an awesome show. As much as you’re into teen shows I figured you’d be all about one of the genre’s best. If you weren’t referring to the Rhona Mitra rape scene in Hollow Man, I’m not sure what you were referencing.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
so its a mysteenriy.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
There’s also no actual rape in that scene, TBL.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
teen angst does indeed rock.
ahhhhh – see, i didnt know mitra got raped/attacked. i usually switch the channel right after the final boob appearance. and i haven’t seen that entire movie in forever.
sw – still nothing on mcnabb. what’s the scuttlebutt? he can’t be happy with some of the defections.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Paul Marshall’s on that new CBS comedy Gary Unmarried, I believe. She also did an arc on Aaron Sorkin’s show Sports Night, where she played a prostitute. And she was one of the many who got fucked by Duchovny on Californication, but she used CGI breasts and vagina. Looks pretty good for 45, though.

My favorite part was how they did a flash forward 20 or something years, and everyone was alive, and then they tried to have things be suspenseful. Julia get shot in the head? I’m not worried. Christian has cancer? He’ll be fine.

March 24th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
I read an interesting thing today about how the Eagles have 12 picks and are like 35 mill under the cap. That has to equal trade for someone (bouldin, edwards) right? I really don’t think McNabb is that upset, and the Eagles would be incredibly stupid to get rid of him, the D is very young and good (3rd best last year) and the last 1 or so years of Westbrook’s prime are coming up. If you deal 5 away then the team wins like 7 games max for the next 3 years. Kolb sucks. I’d like Cutler (who wouldn’t) but that ain’t goin down.

Never seen girls wail to that song in the Midwest, but that doesn’t mean they don’t. The Outfield’s I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love always gets a great reaction, and in small-town Illinois the “Why do you drink (to get drunk)?, Why do you roll smoke (to get stoned)?” song is always a big hit.

When Hollow Man comes on TV, I usually DVR it, and watch it on ultra fast forward till we get to the good Rhona Mitra parts.
I like her so much I saw all of Doomsday. That is dedication.
How come no story on Direct TV being able to re-sell the Sunday Ticket? They’re end up brokering it and getting rich off of people like me.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
the nfl will go to a mlb style salary cap before they lockout or strike. there is too much money to be made for there to be a work stoppage of any kind.

March 24th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
I hope Kris Joseph is ready to get splinters in his ass from sitting on the bench the whole game. There is ZERO chance he is coming into this game unless it goes 5 OTs.
I think Flynn is going to give Austin Johnson and Warren fits. Like I said against ASU, the Cuse needs a big game from Rautins. Devendorf will get his. Harris has to be beastly on the boards to try to help out on Griffin. If the Cuse can at least keep OU’s offensive board numbers respectable they’ll have a shot to steal it late.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
bud – when AO and lefty pile up the fouls, Boeheim’s going to need him to steal some minutes.
i just bet on the cuse +1
March 24th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Gonna be tough for Cuse to overcome all the easy baskets Griffin gets. Think Ive underrated Oklahoma b/c no other team gets guaranteed baskets that often. Maybe UConn, and even Hansbrough doesnt get as many lately.
Think UConn game will come down to UConn making outside shots. Make them and they win easy, if not will be one possession game.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Plax is beating LBJ, sweet.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
.
imo thats a buster douglas vs tyson sized upset
March 24th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Really? Because AO and Jackson had 3 fouls at the 15 minute mark against ASU and Joseph never got off the bench. I’ve watched every SU game this year and since conference play started Joseph has not come one time due to foul trouble with Jackson and Onuaku except when Jackson fouled out in OT 5 against UConn.
Boeheim will rotate Onganet, Jackson, Onuaku and Harris. If two of them get in foul trouble, he’ll play Rautins, Devo and Flynn with the other two. He’s done that for the last 20 games. The only way Joseph plays is if the 3 guards get into foul trouble, not the forwards.
Book it.

March 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
i dont know, maybe i’m drunk (no hoops, we’re out of the playoffs) but he just casually drops “most hated” in there like it’s common knowledge. if you’re reading it, aren’t you like, ‘huh?’ why’s he hated.
oh well.

Eastern Promises was great.
‘Cuse is the trendy pick down here in Big 12 country. OU stumbled towards the end of the season. I’m on OU, but others (Whitlock slammed Capel as a horrible, wretched coach) think OU is vastly overrated. Should be a fun game.

March 24th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Yeah I have noticed Whitlock is suprisingly a pretty big homer. You have to keep that in mind with any of his sports “opinions”.
March 24th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Duder – Those aren’t “opinions”, they are “truths”. The fun thing going on around here is his last foxsports column where he bashed his bud, Billy Simmons for his horrible NFL picks, and then listed 10 games plus lines and bombed so fantastically that it achieved Comedy Gold. I’ve had that column emailed to me 4 times. I’ll go dig it up since it is slow tonight.

I dunno Romo, you’d have to ask someone that was in FCA.
Oh and TBL, not that I would know anything about living on the coast that shall not be named, but doesn’t football there start at 10AM?
March 24th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I find your ideas interesting and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
When I was 11 I never missed a second of pre-game shit. I grouped it all together, on a good sunday I would be up at 6am watching Edge NFL match-up then 4 hours of sportscenter then countdown til noon, then fox pregame show then football til 7, primetime, half the sunday night game then bed.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
no you wouldnt. most of my ideas are dumb and get openly ridiculed. ask around.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Yep, NFL games start on the west coast at 10 a.m. It’s pretty sweet, as you can watch an entire day’s worth of games and the night game and then it’s still only 8:30. As for church, I went when I was younger because my parents wanted me to, but as an Agnostic I haven’t been in years.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Last I checked, you weren’t developing a pancake-waffle hybrid.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Or attempting to develop one at least
March 24th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
I love Panffles.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
anyone here at all go to church?
I do. Methodist and proud of it. We get along with the gays and illegals. I do wish that the fringies go curl under a rock in the desert. Small minority give the rest of us a bad name.

Your ideas on pepsi…yes.
However, our chain of evidence custody drama pilot is almost Coke-like in its awesomitude.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Just some crazy idea I came up with in my head.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
PSU v Fla is coming down to an interesting end. Big 10 > SEC.
March 24th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
tallguy im 100% sure that would be picked up at least on the pilot filmed level.

March 24th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
you can get a couple mil to a write and make a pilot that could not even air.

I have been to church maybe 10 times in my life. That aspect of life is simply not for me. I find 90+% of what the believe to be totally hilarious.

I myself dig the Pannekoeke, a Dutch hybrid between a crepe and a pancake.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Totally badass. Most underrated war movie in the last 20 years. Hoot is a fucking beast in that movie and the soundtrack is pretty cool.

TBL – Good movie. Messed up how those guys got in that situation. It kept Piven’s Hollywood life alive long enough for the male version of Sex in the City. Seriously, good movie.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
we could call it Chain of Evidence starring Cuba Gooding Jr.(he needs a career revival)
March 24th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
good to know. we’re regulars too (not methodist, though).
even when i was single and in my early-mid 20s, i still tried to go (though it was much, much tougher since i was hammered every saturday). probably only went once a month back then.

Maybe if your name is Chuck Lorre, but nobody unestablished gets two million to produce a pilot.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
This may be a ridiculous question, but what is the money line when betting on games?

March 24th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
i dont need 2 million just give me $50k to pick it up and $100k if it gets made

Piven is outrageously talented, it’s just too bad he’s wasted on that crappy show and the attention that show has garnered him has turned him into an ass.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
you can even be Greg Fitzsimmons

+120 means that you must bet 120 to get 100 back if your team wins.
-120 means that you bet 100 to get 120 back if your team wins.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
As far as going to Church goes… takes as much willpower as waking up for work or going to the gym… only (and this is the good thing about being catholic)… you can be flexible from saturday night to sunday night and every service is the same. I’m 23 and I always find time for mass.
/Holier than thou’d
March 24th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Take the Duke/Nova game on Thursday. Nova is underdog. Their moneyline is +120. So if you lay $100 and you hit, you win $120 (plus your original $100 back.)
Duke, as favorite, is -140, so you would need to lay $140 to win $100. Or if you laid $100 (like in the Nova example), instead of winning $120, you’d win only about $70.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
except you know, those two exercises in futility at least pay some dividends.
/tooth fairy agnostic’ed
March 24th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Is it always based on $100? By this mean if the money line is 330, do I only get 100 if I bet the line?
March 24th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Wally, your explanation was much more precise, but you’ve got it reversed.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Speaking of war movies, there’s a Kathryn Bigelow flick coming out soon about the guys in Iraq who disassemble and dispose of IED’s called The Hurt Locker. Awesome movie. Not dripping with political overtones like In the Valley of Elah or Stop-Loss, just focuses on the personal and interpersonal stories of these guys who are pretty much ignored.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
lol TG
March 24th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
One of my favorite movies.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
when does it come out bsanders, I haven’t heard of it, or seen it on your blog (fantastic stuff by the way)
March 24th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
The opposite of that.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
at my old gig, occasionally speakers would come in to talk to the mags (rolling stone and us). i made sure to attend piven and the guy was hysterical. it was all off-the-cuff stuff, and piven was terrific. probably the best one of those i attended.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
If you’re betting the underdog at +330, it means that you would win 3.3x your original wager. $100 wins $330, $50 wins $165, etc.
If you’re betting the favorite at -330, it means that you would win .303 of your original wager.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
i got to see the guys who disassemble ied’s in action they have some cool ass toys…they have 2 robots that i called johnny 5. one big one little
March 24th, 2009 at 11:17 pm

tommorow we will be talking to a bookie under wally’s screen name because he was drunk and accidently bet the wrong way and to pay off his debt he had to give them his computer.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
takes as much willpower as waking up for work or going to the gym…
Yep. Bonus, I have a three year old. That complicates early morning church getting to. Fun seeing all the young kids getting up front for children’s service. Makes up for the early Sunday running around the house getting the boy in his Sunday best. No regrets.

March 24th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Oh, and speaking of Piven, one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever…. oh, I can’t remember… the one with the alt 90’s bands and the rappers. Judgement Night. Sadly, that soundtrack spawned Limp Biscuit and the rest.
March 24th, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Judgement Night is definitely not on any “See Chicago!” brochures. That movie makes the Windy City look completely terrifying.

Piven needs to ease up on Detroit because his best movie/role was set there. Grosse Pointe Plank.
