Doug Marrone left the easiest job in the NFL (Sean Payton’s OC) to go to Syracuse? Bad idea.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:07 am
greatest 3rd and long conversion in Super Bowl history.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:08 am
I had to look over my shoulder to see if any bosses were looking at my computer when I was checking out those Kim Kardashian picks. Yikes.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:08 am
what exactly does Sean Payton’s OC do?
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:12 am
Hey, we know that guy!
Then you should be the one to tell him he’s trying way too hard to be funny, and he doesn’t have an announcer’s voice.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:13 am
Quick question: Couldn’t Chad Gaudin given the Yanks 2IP and 6ER last night? Then Girardi would’ve had Burnett and Pettitte on full rest, right? …….. Ok just checkin
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Lakers could be in trouble. Gasol may have tear in hamstring.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:15 am
It is a NY site…i’m shocked, just shocked.
This would be more appropriate: Chase Utley makes Yankees pitchers his bitch…again.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:18 am
the look on joe blanton’s face when he takes the mound in game 7 is going to be awesome.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 am
Michael - You are correct.
Forget C Lee as MVP … C Utley’s dominating.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
they couldn’t have lost the series without you, chase.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
Victorino looked like he was in some serious pain last night…
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:24 am
@TBL - Even if Phils lose, think it will be ala 1960 and Chase still gets the MVP?
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 am
I mean to finish that statement with, meanwhile, we are told Melky is ruled out for the rest of the season as Fox cuts to a shot of him in the dugout jumping up and down, doing a little dance and generally lookin fine on that sore hamstring. Interesting.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Michael Redd can’t catch a break - injured again, out 1-2 weeks
time for Vanilla Sky to step up
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:26 am
yes, it is all part of the yankees evil plan to get ramiro pena into the lineup.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:28 am
Just sayin, maybe the Post put the cheerleader skirt on the wrong guy..
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:29 am
Slightly less than Rex Ryan’s defensive coordinator.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:30 am
F you too, Mike. The coaching staff (both G Williams and Marrone) bent over backwards to help you.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:33 am
kornheiser’s radio show (avail on itunes) should be pretty good re: the washington post’s style section brawl.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:34 am
Smarm doesn’t look good on, Sparty.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:35 am
he does look like that creepy uncle with the slicked back hair who never buttons his shirts, is overly tan, wears too much jewelry and drives a cadillac.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:36 am
cracker jack, i heard that about fifty times in throughout the broadcast last night. thanks for notifying me one more time. i was about ready to just turn the game off mccarver was so bad last night.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 am
it is more directed at TBL, i can see him ready to jump ship again.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 am
And where did he touch you?…..Oh thats alright if you can’t say it just point.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 am
they just so happen to be the two phills hittin the ball best, and the two i happen to like the most
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 am
that third sentence is awesome!
the lost art of long-form journalism seals the doom of the newspaper industry.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:40 am
wb: He could barely throw a ball. I couldnt believe he stayed in the game as long as he did.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:41 am
So let him. Darwin. You’ll be a better fanbase.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:42 am
It certainly didn’t help, but it’s more the lost art of selling classified ads.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:43 am
An amazingly insightful idea.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:44 am
and newspapers…it would probably help if they could sell newspapers too.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:50 am
Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:53 am
NO CHANCE. Seriously, if Uncle Chollie won’t pitch Lee on 3 days rest, what misinformed notion causes you to believe that he would do so for Blanton. If they reach Game 7, the choice will be between Happ and Hamels. Blanton won’t be part of the conversation.
Moving on, was at the game last night. I saw more people get kicked out of the stadium last night than at game I’ve ever been…and most of them were Yankees fans. As I drunkenly corresponded from the stadium last night, some specimen in a “F*CK BOSTON” t-shirt decided he didnt want to bother going to the bathroom, so he started pissing under his seat…when the guy next to him complained, the dude sent a stream right into that guys lap. I can’t believe the restraint the guy who got pissed on showed in not cracking the pisser in the jaw. He’s a better man than I. Instead he waited for security to come down.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:58 am
this was at a baseball game? they frown upon that stuff at san quentin
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:58 am
If Mo gets a 4th save then he’s gonna get MVP. He’s been the only relief pitcher on both sides that’s been reliable.
November 3rd, 2009 at 8:59 am
Good thing Cole Hamels is such a gamer otherwise I would be worried about game 7.
/The thought of Cole on the mound Thursday night makes me almost vomit.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:01 am
cj, i realize this, and if they would have been talking about the fact he was still in i would have been ok with that. all they kept talking about was the fact that he hurt it. over and over and over
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:01 am
My bad, it would be Mo Rivera’s 3rd save. But if he comes in for another 6 out save to wrap it, he’ll get the MVP.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 am
Nice of Jay to sell out Conan with this:
Dick move, Jay.
It would suck to see the NBC suits push Conan out, but he’s in an awful position with Leno looking over his shoulder and an 11:35 audience that doesn’t know what to make of him. I actually preferred him an hour later when he didn’t have to cater to the Leno crowd.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:06 am
Fetch, if you’re around, check email.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 am
That’s the ultimate dick move. Leno is such an ass.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 am
Hey TBL, how excited are you going to be when Chad Gaudin is warming up in the top of the 3rd Wednesday night.
/Shouldn’t have started A.J on short rest.
//Fire Girardi.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:08 am
Fuck Jay. Doritos selling bitch.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 am
sarcasm - i would love to see it though.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 am
IT’S A BEUATIFUL MORNING!!!
/cuz kokinis is gone
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:11 am
Irish I love it. Dont give up. I used to be the same way with Mike Dunleavy JR. It took years to realize that he aint shit. His National Championship Game performance blew my mind and I thought he was the Next Larry Bird.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:12 am
Dick move, Jay.
It’s funny, he’s calling the affiliates for “feedback,” and they’re saying just get off the air, but there’s no graceful way off the air for him.
When he does comedy in Vegas, sometimes it’s sold out, he says.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 am
Fake illness.
Boom
/Grace’d
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 am
he took a nice shot at letterman. seemed like he was sticking up for conan
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:15 am
You’re halfway there…
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:17 am
Victorino looked like he was in some serious pain last night…
It’s about the equivalent of having your hand smashed by a bat on a table. That shit fucking hurts. I doubt he’ll play (at least effectively) the rest of the series.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:18 am
there’s no such thing as a Man without a Kok.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
He still does a set in Hermosa Beach every week, I think. I went and saw him a couple years ago. It wasn’t too bad, a lot better than what’s on TV.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
the browns org is so fucking inept
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
IT’S A BEUATIFUL MORNING!!!
/cuz kokinis is gone
I’m so jealous.
/Skins fan’d
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
didnt ernie accorsi trade away his entire draft to get the 3rd best qb when he could have just drafted a better one? better than what they had but yikes.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
I observed a Yankee fan catching a beating last night.
Was with friends at a sports bar by the airport and there were some Yankee fans who were upset that the big screen was showing MNF instead of the baseball game. Mind you, there were about 20 smaller tv’s around the bar showing baseball but with no sound.
I wasn’t close enough to hear the discussion but apparently these guys were all over the bartender and generally being assholes. As you would expect, one of them eventually crossed the line (allegedly dropped an n-bomb) and shit went south in a hurry. Bartender came over the bar and grabbed one guy, his buddies start throwing punches at the bartender, two bouncers roll in and proceed to lay down a nasty beating on all three. One dude was dragged to the parking lot by his hair and another was basically choked unconcious (mma style).
Needless to say, I was thoroughly entertained.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
I’m sure he loves seeing Letterman exposed for the swine that he is. But, by even entertaining the idea of coming back to “Tonight” he’s messing w/ Conan.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 am
i know, it’s great…i hope they hire art shell.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Fun times in Cleveland today!
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:22 am
Ernie’s a big reason they won a Super Bowl. And it’s not his fault the Chargers turned those picks into Pro Bowlers.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:24 am
plus he was the gm the last time the browns were good so ill take it
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:26 am
im gonna go meet up with spencer and have some food cooked on the street to celebrate
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:27 am
mmonast…hang on, i gotta use a payphone real quick.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:29 am
I hope you know spencer that it’s inevitable that Bernie Kosar’s going to run this organization one day soon. I’m looking forward to the Marty Schottenheimer 2.0 era.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:30 am
Ernie’s a big reason they won a Super Bowl. And it’s not his fault the Chargers turned those picks into Pro Bowlers.
a bunch of pro bowlers that never win anything. they’re the VT of the NFL, always a contender, never win shit
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:30 am
bring back all the 80s browns bernie,marty. hell if bernie can still throw a little let him try out next camp
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 am

November 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 am
no problem, ill be slowinf down in east cleveland hoping i don’t die while looking at the trains taking the jobs out of cleveland
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:32 am
Bartender came over the bar and grabbed one guy, his buddies start throwing punches at the bartender, two bouncers roll in and proceed to lay down a nasty beating on all three.
What airport were you in that had a bar with bouncers? Was there a cover charge at the door?
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:34 am
The Flats looks like a Scooby Doo ghost town…
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:35 am
thats my favorite line…2nd is our main export is crippling depression
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:36 am
Not at the airport, near the airport (Toronto). It’s a pretty busy place so security is a necessity.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 am
My bad GG, I’m not really on my game this morning, or any morning for the matter.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 am
friends at a sports bar by the airport
Was it a nudie bar? Because that’s what’s usually by the airport. Maybe it was sports/nudie.
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
The better Syracuse link today. Why? B/c I was the guy that Coach Mac got upset with.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:07 am
Gotta love Coach Mac but he lost his fastball years ago - he’s a step away from walking around in his pajamas in public talking to himself.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:25 am
Nice work Cursed…
Today is the day that the Browns start over… wait… is it Groundhog Day? I think I’ve said that line before..
I guess baseball really isn’t a computer game where pitchers can be just as effective on 3 days rest whenever you want them to be… If Pettite blows up, then the Yankee fans will want to run Girardi out on a rail. But some here will still proclaim his as genius for his decision to throw guys on 3 days rest.
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:27 am
I observed a Yankee fan catching a beating last night.
greatest combination of words strung together in the English language.
GG: I wish I was there with you to sit back and enjoy the visual
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:30 am
The better Syracuse link today. Why? B/c I was the guy that Coach Mac got upset with.
cursed: Coach Mac is an old school Stern guy. You must have really pissed him off with all that “Opie and Anthony is better than Stern” shit
