The Roundup: Kenny Mayne in Kayak, Alyssa Milano and Analyzing Greg Oden’s Dreams
Uncategorized July 2nd. 2007, 10:42am
This is Eva Longoria, aboard a yacht in France. Yikes! The slowest sporting month of the year is upon us. No college sports, all the NBA has to offer is free agency, the NFL remains quiet, and it’s pretty much all baseball, all the time. We’ll attempt to make things interesting. A more pressing question – is anybody going to be at work this week? Having July 4 on a Wednesday is terrible. Unless, of course, you have vacation time. Enjoy those illegal fireworks, people.

Rihanna looks like Sheldon Williams……scary

If you think Rihanna looks like Sheldon Williams, you are bat shit crazy. Or, maybe you have a thing for Sheldon?

Rihanna does have an epic, Christina Ricci-like forehead, but in no way resembles that mongrel Sheldon Williams.
I guess since Alyssa Milano is famous she’s referred to as a “sports fan” in her interviews instead of a groupie or baseball cum dump. Come on Alyssa, no love for the accountants here??

Only working two days this week… any idea how long Stern’s on vacation? Two weeks? The whole month of July?

A-Rod’s wife uses bad judgment. Also, she’s kind of a hag.

1. If ever a comment deserved deletion, it’s that one.
2. Is it just me, or is Greg Oden becoming more and more of a ‘G’ everyday?

It was about rugby. Pretty exciting game was well. One of the best things about watching rugby on tv beside it being rugby is that there are no commerical breaks and the games never run over. The commentators are pretty funny as well, less stuffy.

Sheldon Williams looks more like a frghtening combo of Steve Francis and Antonio Davis.
His forhead extension is sublime.

Alyssa Milano is all that is right with America. A place where you can succeed with little merit in your profession but still stay in the public eye. Hopefully Jenn Sterger follows suit.

1. I love Alyssa Milano. I don’t think my wife would appreciate me trying to win the “date” with her to a Dodgers game, though.
2. Tony can keep Eva. Give me Terri Hatcher.
3. Stern is out for two weeks. “Mammary Lane” was hilarious this a.m. The music show on Wednesday should be awesome.

you SURE stern is out for two weeks? ugh.
July 2nd, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Enough on Ankiel ok. If this guy were a story he would have made it to the bigs as a hitter already. But he has ALMOST made it… He had talent like millions of kids before him in the minors, and he couldn’t cut it as a pitcher. If he was the real deal, he would be on a big league roster by now. He still probably gets paid pretty well to play a kids game. At ALMOST the highest level. That is the key word. ALMOST. Been there, done that.

Yes, it’s the new Howard Hmus Stern. The Hardest Working Man in show bidness today.
I guess taking off all Fridays isn’t enough…the Man of the People.
Stopped listening after he kicked Jackie out.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:26 pm
His vacation schedule is ridiculous… i get especially pissed when he whines about how much he hates work. The guy makes $500M, works 5 hours a day, doesn’t work friday’s, and I’m supposed to feel sorry for him?
P.S. Jackie didn’t get kicked out, Jackie left.
July 2nd, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I’m almost certain Howard is out two weeks. He usually takes a two week vacation in July. I also agree, with him skipping Friday’s and all his vacation, its a bit much.
Does anyone else think “Mastertape Theater” is generally a waste of time? Some of the Mammary Lane stuff is pretty good since you don’t have to wade through the ups and downs of a whole show.
I loved Jackie, but he chose to not come back after asking for too much dough. You can still catch him on “Jackie’s Joke Hunt” on Howard 101, though, if you miss him badly.
Sorry, did not mean to make this a Stern thread.
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:33 pm
I completely agree with you, Glass, Mammary Lane is much better than Mastertape Theater. I like when they use bits and pieces of the shows from the past instead of doing the entire day.
I have a feeling they’re taking the entire month of July off. I remember hearing Gary say they weren’t having any new guests on until August! I think the Iron Sheik is making an appearance on the 2nd.

I listened to Stern for years, but stopped around the time when Jackie left and he got divorced and started nailing hot, young tail. Maybe it’s just me, but he was alot funnier back in the 80s/90s when he was a frustrated husband. Listening to him namedrop about dinner at Nobu with his actor friends isn’t nearly as funny as listening to him fight with Jackie or bust on Baba Booey.

sportsgal -
Just got a note from Mark of marksfriggin.com (the BEST Stern site, IMHO), and Mark believes Howard is taking two weeks off.
And hey, DS, Howard can name drop anytime he wants. I like that he lets us see what is happening on the celeb front. Now, if he’d quit being a pansy and just name a few of the chicks he was banging while single……
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Thanks, Glass!
I agree with you, i love when he talks about all the celebs he sees and his vacations with Jimmy Kimmel.
143, fellow Stern fans!

The thing is, he doesn’t work five hrs/day.
If you take the hour of commercials per day, he only really “works” three days a week and pays leeches like Monkeybreath and Artie shit wages. I mean, giving his goddamn interns a show?
Andy Kaufman must be loving this…
The guy is a slimebag who used to be funny because of Jackie, who was kicked out over a now-extremely-small amount of money. Mr. Integrity with the Trophy Bimbo.
You can pull old classic Stern shows from places on the web/internet. The Billy shit is so goddamn funny, makes long trips go by quickly.
Oh well, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
