Roundup: A Lil’ Bit of the Hair of the Dog That Bit Ya
Music, NBA, NFL, NHL, Soccer, Tennis, What the hell is wrong with people June 6th. 2009, 11:45am
Since its Saturday, I thought I’d class the place up a bit with some delicious malt liquor. Mmm… That’s effective advertising.
In TBL’s breakdown of the sporting weekend, he completely neglected two MMA events. Don’t worry, I’ll make up for that. Also, we’ll see if Duffy wants to write about our hapless soccer team.

Do you know what really fucking sucks? Working on a Saturday and not even getting paid.

No one does it like the bull.

Black chick in the photo looks like a tranny. Could that jaw be any more robust?

I believe the elongated, narrow belly button is proof that she’s sucking in her stomach. Am I allowed to call her fat?

“We had to pick a match and we don’t set the schedule, the French Tennis Federation does,â€
How dare those Frenchmen not let an American television network decide when the matches will take place?
I suggest a boycott.

when did jaleel white get a boob job?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Haha mrejr, Jaleel is much prettier but thats still pretty funny
June 6th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Jay did you see the intro for the Ole Miss – Virginia game? ESPN’s jocking the SEC in a manner usually reserved for Favre and the Red Sox. Something along the lines of “Huge day for the SEC, as they have four teams remaining.” Um, the ACC has four teams left as well.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Yeah younglefty, but the SEC is god’s gift to college baseball. Just ask them.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
ACC didnt sign a huge deal with ESPN last year. Expect that all year lefty.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Yeah Duder, I just didn’t expect it to start already, much less filter down to more niche type programming like college baseball/softball.

crm: i know of the faber- brown fight but what other mma shows are on this weekend?

Strikeforce event tonight on Showtime.

lil wayne sings a song about a dude…no homo?
/hasnt heard the song
//hopefully never will
June 6th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
mrejr – It’s pretty cool. But I’m a rap/hip-hop fan so I like it.
There’s not much homo. A lot of trash talking.

a article ripping shaq for being a attention whore
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-shaqhoward060509&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

I’m the man. I provided two of those links.
On the tennis, seriously NBC, just give up the rights. Everybody always dogs ESPN, but at least they show sports (in the daytime).
Men’s tennis is enjoying a mini resurgence, that’s only going to last another 3 tournaments or so, and NBC just threw some of that momentum down the drain. Commit to airing both semis, and just postpone your stupid soaps by a day. How long was guiding light on again? 59 years? I think there’s time.

a article ripping shaq for being a attention whore
did the writer of said article taste the sweet irony, writing an article paying attention to an attention whore?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
so am i but weezy’s “someone is choking the shit out of me” voice is annoying as hell
June 6th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
read the article dirt.
jake shields vs lawler should be good
June 6th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
lefty & cosmo,
There’s a difference:
1. Yesterday: SEC 2, ACC 0 (head 2 head)
2. 3 SEC teams are one win from Omaha
3. 2 ACC teams are one loss from elimination
Yes, I’m an SEC homer, but the SEC West was nails yesterday. Arkansas won in Tallahassee against a team that scored 37 Sunday. Ole Miss won against one of the hottest teams in the country. And LSU got past the guy who might be the best starter in the country after Strasburg.
One more note about the French Open too: If Roddick, Venus, or Sharapova was playing, you know damn good and well NBC would have found a way to play it live.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Why is Arod wearing a bikini?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Ooops. Venus and Serena.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
read the article dirt.
can’t I just rip it sight unseen? That’s my usual M.O.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
do you want to be a uneducated know it all?

June 6th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I read it. Kareem was pretty gracious. I remember thinking last year how Shaq was definitively NOT better than Kareem, all time wise (plus I saw Kareem play a lot). I have always considered Shaq, the player, to have had a lot of wasted potential, and a big mouth.
But yes, that’s pretty critical of Shaq, and spot on criticism. Thanks for the link.

that’ll be when I poop on my own towel.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
So the consensus on the St. Ides girl is “super hot,” right? Glad we’re all on the same page.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
as great as shaq was this what i will remember him for the most. if he would have taken the time to come into each season in shape and practiced his free throws we would be talking about him and mj in the same breath when discussing G.O.A.T
June 6th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
she is the hottest middle linebacker in the nfl no doubt.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Jay -
I get all of that, but this is the second day in a row that they’ve opened with “This might be the best setting for college baseball in the country.” and both were SEC venues. It just comes off poorly. I’ll freely admit though that living in Atlanta my whole life, and being a fan of an ACC team, I’m predisposed to automatically think the SEC gets promotion at the expense of other teams. And there are a ton of SEC people (not you, necessarily, I saw your comment the other day about how stupid it is that Virginia had to go on the road) that are blatantly myopic. A buddy of mine tried to tell me that Tennessee would have won nine football games last season if they played in the ACC. I guess what I’m saying is that it gets old pretty quick.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
You mean after Kobe, right?

June 6th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
lefty,
If LSU wouldn’t have had to play North Carolina in Omaha last year, they would have won the CWS.
/truth’d
//how’s that for ya’?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
all time “wasted potential” team?
C – Shaq*
F – Derrick Coleman
F – Roy Tarpley
SG – Michael Ray Richardson
PG – Starbury
*Shaq definitely comes off this list, i’m just suggesting a list game to play today. I’d nearly immediately throw a bunch of centers up there, easy, but I’m going with Joe Barry Carroll as my center – nicknamed Joe Barely Cares.

Dirt, does Len Bias count? Or are we talking about guys who just didn’t care?

That hurts to even discuss, so I’ll say no. I was like 13 when he died, and loved the Celtics. He had the potential to be in all the GOAT discussions too. That’s the premise for Bill Simmons’ book, i think.
Let’s leave him off, just because there’s so many Charles Shacklefords out there we can cut on without dragging that poor bastard through the mud again.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
My list is populated with 2 cokeheads, and one lazy pothead.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
C – Kwame Brown (he kinda got fucked by being mentally raped by mj as a 18 yr old)
F – Shawn Kemp(would be up there with malone if he wasnt a idiot)
F – Lamar Odom (could have been scottie pippen 2.0)
SG – Harold Miner (because he looked like mj..and could jump high)
PG – Jay Williams(motorcycle crash)
June 6th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
I think Bias qualifies.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
Ha nice, Jay. I gotta admit I probably enjoyed Georgia losing in the championship last year a bit too much. I don’t just want them to lose everything, I want it to be as heartbreaking as possible.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Ohio State knocked Georgia out of the tourney hours before losing to FSU by 40.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I think Bias qualifies.
Throw your list up there then. What else are you doing?
June 6th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
That Rondo link was interesting. I wonder if New Orleans would consider a Rondo/Allen for CP3 swap.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
About to go golfing, wanna come?
June 6th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
That Rondo link was interesting. I wonder if New Orleans would consider a Rondo/Allen for CP3 swap.
Sounds possible, although the money isn’t exactly right. NO would have to throw in a cheap guy (like hilton armstrong). I think the deal to wresting Paul from the Hornets has to be a willingness to take Peja Stojakavic as well. They’re crazy trying to dump salaries.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
What else are you doing?
About to go golfing, wanna come?
Want to hear me scream curse words, break stuff, and quit on the 8th hole to go ball shopping?
June 6th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Might as well move the Hornets now if you trade Paul.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Might as well move the Hornets now if you trade Paul.
They should have been allowed to stay in OKC when they were there. That city earned that team, and there would be more money than there is now, and Seattle would still be Seattle, and we could just be worrying about finding a way to get Memphis back to Vancouver. (and NJ to Brooklyn)
June 6th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
i would trade allen and pierce before i got rid of rondo.you could get one up and coming sg or sf and mid 1st round draft pick for pierce and allen. rondo just now came into his w=own this playoffs. to get rid of him would be foolish.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
C – Kwame Brown
PF – Derrick Coleman
SF – Darius Miles
SG – Vince Carter
PG – Stephon Marbury
June 6th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I would say Pierce and Rondo should be the only untouchable pieces. Pierce has been there from the start, and I think he means too much for the fans. Rondo is a building block for the future
June 6th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Eddie Griffin had a lot of potential didn’t he?
June 6th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Almost went with him instead of Coleman, but decided against it because he was batshit crazy, instead of in the lazy/didn’t give a shit category.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Great article on Shaq. He has done such a great job of having people believe he was at zero fault in his Laker departure. Dudes ego is just as big as Kobe’s.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Okay final analysis for now :b
1) Chick in top photo is hot, but Erich in that she is sucking it in because she does not have even close to a six pack. She looks like she likes a heavy ride too, which makes her hotter. Probably too much St. Ides and too big a fan of “doughboy” for her own good though.
2) Bar Rafaeli’s englarged photo in the jean shorts via the link is absolutely smoking, as between those legs at the bottom of those shorts is more than a glimpse of heaven!
That’s all for now. Mass has ended go in peace. Carry on with the mission Captain Mexico.
:b
