The Roundup: Cockfighting Banned in the Bayou, Party with Daequan Cook and Dying on the Golf Course
Uncategorized June 28th. 2007, 10:57am
Come on folks, what are you waiting for? Michael Wilbon is on the Kim Kardashian bandwagon and even saw Bill Simmons mentioned her in a recent column, you’re missing out! … so a bit of shitty news: we’ve actually got a basketball game tonight and we’ll miss the beginning of the NBA draft. Probably the entire first round. But we’ll probably pop on tonight for some insta-analysis … no, we absolutely did not watch one second of the Paris Hilton-Larry King bullshit, but we just heard some of the audio on Howard Stern, and it doesn’t seem like she talked about Matt Leinart.

1. College Gameday at Virginia Tech - a great idea, and very classy.
2. I love the term dapper. Hadn’t heard that one in a while.
3. I want to party on Gilbert’s Island. I’m booking my three-hour tour right now.

Kardashian didn’t exactly just show up on the scene. She’s been around for awhile. I lost interest in her after seeing that sex tape. She’s basically just a mattress in the sack. Really just an uninspired performance. You can have her.

Now I don’t feel bad about having a softball game at 9 tonight. At least I won’t be the only one missing a part of the draft. Hopefully I get to see the lottery picks before I go.

ESPN is a sewer of exploitation.
That’s not classy, it’s just more of ESPN glomming onto misery inserting themselves into the story.
Trust me, when you get done watching Gamedya, you’ll want to vomit on your shoes, or someone else’s, from the treacly Chris Connolly emotional bullshit they’ll shovel out.
Man, good thing I woke up in a good mood.

I don’t understand the infatuation with Kardashian. A face only a mother could love.
June 28th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
She’s got big cans and some nice curves.

I like College Gameday. Sure, Herbie and “Coach” get annoying, but it’s a good way to get pumped for College Football Saturday. Ummm, College Football Saturday. Only 8 or 10 weekends away.
Kardashian is merely filling the hole left in the vapid dumb rich goal world right now. With that Paris and the Lohan chick under wraps, the Paps have to go after something. I actually saw Tara Reid back in the news yesterday for being drunk. When was the last time anyone heard of here. This Kardashian chick looks like a Vegas stripper. Yeah, all the parts are there, but there isn’t any substance. And her face is jacked up. I’m not I can pinpoint what, but perhaps it has that overlydone plastic surgery look to it.

You people really enjoy College Gameday? What do you like more about it? When Corso babbles incoherently for 45-50 minutes and then dons the mascot head? Watching Herbstreit trying to refrain from openly rooting for Ohio State? Or are you just waiting for Fowler to divulge the inside secrets of planning a wedding? Have you ever come away from watching College Gameday with any insight into the game outside of which lineman was beaten by his crackhead uncle? That show, like everything else on that network that doesn’t invlove an umpire or a ref, blows.

Herbie’s rooting aside he is really good. Lee Corso on the other hand has no clue what’s even going on. And Desmond Howard??? No comment.

What’s going to make the opening day truly classy is how the Hokie nation will continue to have fun and bring the noise in memory of their classmates.

I have def joined the Kardashian bandwagon and I hope that she learned from the mistakes on her first tape.

Please tell me the boys in Bristol 86′d the music by Big & Rich.

Chilly Jackwater - Yeah, they kind of bug me, but that’s the charm of that particular show. Wake up, take a dump, open the first beer of College Football Saturady, get agitated by Corso, start cursing, call Costa Rica to place a last minute bet (um, scratch that this year), open a second beer, start laughing at Herbie, start cursing at Herbie, new beer, yell at Fowler for having that castration surgery 5 years ago, et al… All in time for the 11:00 (CST) kick off on ESPN 2 of Indiana/NW/Illinois vs Shit crapfest.

“Yeah, they kind of bug me, but that’s the charm of that particular show”
Couldn’t you say the same thing about Baseball Tonight or NFL Countdown? Outside of the sport at hand, I don’t see anything different between the three shows. [insert famous quote from "Network" here]

Chilly -
See, I can’t stand Baseball Tonight (recap show basically). MLB is on everyday. NFL Countdown. I have never heard of that show. I assume it is a pregame NFL show on some network. Perhaps, ESPN? Perhaps it has loud obnoxious ex-players? And a bloated self-important man with a penchant for leather clad honeys? Never heard of it.
I hate all NFL pregame shows. Haven’t seen NFL Network’s attempt yet.
I see your point. But, for whatever reason, booze, Saturday morning, Herbie, Corso, Fowler, Big/Rich put me in a violent angry happy mood. I
June 28th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
And that Big/Rich nonsense has got to go. That really puts me in a violent mood. I assume they are going after the SEC demographic, but those folks would be watching anyway. Doesn’t make sense. Just fucking play Skynard if that’s who they are trying to attract.
