We’ve avoided the cultural comet that is Glee, but then a reader sent us this photo of someone named Lea Michele … belle de jour, the famous hooker, is actually a scientist … Adriana Lima and Marko Jaric had a baby girl … the first Bible Bee! … when was the last time the AP “fact checked” a book like this? … of course Gen X’ers remain discontented at work; will we ever be happy? … the full and fabulous pageant … A-Rod’s ex-wife has moved on … bear won’t leave the porch, so 11-year-old gets a gun and kills it …

The fact that she dresses like a catholic school girl in the show makes it even better.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:14 am
I wonder if when highly aggitated his(Jim Mora Jr.) voice goes a few octaves higher?
“Playoffs!?”
“Dirty Cardinals!?”

Well great job by that 11-year old — there is hope for the future despite the likes of Miley Cyrus and all.
No Generation has been screwed more at work than Gen X, and it’s always been a game due to its inferior numbers sandwiched between the ever obnoxious Baby Boomers and the Gen Y’ers who don’t know usually how to work. More opportunities for Gen X’ers for sake of their own businesses, but it’s just never been more challenging to make ends meet in the meantime.
Good luck out there to you folks not working for the government or who can’t join a union still trying to find work with decent health benefits. Just about everyone in the private sector is hiring only part-time or without benefits or with a long probation period for them in the best cases.

Always liked Al Franken personally although not polically, and he was absolutely correct on Limbaugh and on O’Reilly before many of us caught on to those phonies. At least Franken is who we think he is unlike those two other shills carrying water and homering for the GOP.
The NFL was correct to block Limbaugh especially considering its racist legacy of George Marshall, avowed racist former owner of the still racist Washington Redskins that of course even the NFL would not want the average fan to this day to know about. Amazing what he got away with with regard to discrimination plain and simple even in DC proper until JFK weighed in back in 1962. Look it up via Wiki.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:25 am
What a great Roundup today!
Comcast versus ESPN? ESPN will win because Comcast as a cable firm is hated far more. Sad to say the rest of us lose on that level either way, but then again we have TBL and Yahoo! and The Mission working for us.
Screw Dennis Rodman serves his lame druggie ass right.
Good attempt at humour on Jimmy Clausen by TSH at least, but it fell way short of funny. Stay at it TSH please.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:32 am
F Bud Adams. He should have been fined more than $250,000
November 17th, 2009 at 8:35 am
i hope bud adams comes to houston. Dont know if he has since he left
November 17th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Disagree on this one. $250K was a little high. Was just buffalo fans after all.

You know with obamas girl(oprah) having sarah palin on her show about her book, i can see the media trying really hard to prop sarah palin to win the republican nomination to go against obama, only to turn everyone against her so we get an extra 4 years of him
November 17th, 2009 at 8:40 am
@celticlaw- he did it twice. once in the booth and again on the field after the game. The fine should have been $500,000.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:40 am
and I thought the 30k levied against Urban Meyer a few weeks back was harsh. sheesh.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:41 am
How long until Cleveland contracts or moves to another city(again)?
Or hell scores offensive 3 tds in the same game.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:43 am
i sat through that fucking shitshow last night in the cold and rain and what do i get for it, a sore throat and a hangover
November 17th, 2009 at 8:45 am
It can’t be that bad. At least you were drunk at some point last night. That’d probably be the only way I could have gotten through that game.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Kragthorpe is gone regardless ofwhether he beats USF and Rutgers. He is loathed in Louisville. I think they are gonna take a swing at Terry Bowden, or maybe Tuberville.
November 17th, 2009 at 8:51 am
No doubt Texas and others reading, but I am one of few who believe that Obama won’t make it 4 years after the GOP trouncing to come in November next year with Biden to be lined up for the agenda and with more powerful allies amongst the real folks who run them both. Biden’s son is being groomed to take his place as senator with no question in my mind for Delaware in the 2010 election, and Biden is just “biding” his time with 30 years of relationships in the Senate to back him.
And no for you paranoid types, Obama won’t go out JFK style but some other way. Before you leap to conclusions, I said back in April 2007 that some way, some way, Hillary would NOT be the next president. I did NOT say it would be a Republican, and I am not saying that about the next president after 2012 either.
After Obama emerged on the national scene with Oprah’s endorsement back in November 2007 two years ago, the rest became history after a long fought battle until their Bilderberg meeting in June 2008 after which Obama changed his tone and turned me off him for the phony he was though I did not know exactly all the reasons he did so. I learned the later in only retrospect.
See the Obama Deception (from the same people who slammed the Bush Administration and not the right wing for you liberal types)

This fine piece worth watching at some other time featuring Henry Kissinger, KRS-One, and Professor Griff (old school rap group Public Enemy) and many others was referred to me by apparently a very informed commenter right on this site.
Those not exactly accurate in some of its hyperbole, the fundamentals upon which it is based are as sound as you will find.

just saw Viggo on GMA. so pumped for the Road. How good is this movie going to be?
havent been this excited for a movie since I am legend, or maybe Cloverfield.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I am going to start watching the wire again from season one starting tonight.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Actually Obama emerged on the national scene when he gave the keynote address at the DNC in 2004.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:02 am
REally? $500K? Based on what? He flipped some people off. No physical assault, no racist commentary. Fine him? Yes. Let’s not get crazy though.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I knew that game sucked as did many on here before it even started last night. I did not even bother watching it until the second half just to see what folks here were blogging about at that point after that 0-0 first half.
I am not sure if ESPN tried to even hype it like the NFL did that Bears-49ers shitshow last Thursday night. Anyone psyched for Miami-Carolina this Thursday, which the NFL was hyping with the wildcat with Ronnie Brown in the ads but now injured? NOT! (early 1990s beer commercial reference only those 32+ might get)
I sure as heck hope that this site does not offer any more thorough analyses of meaningless games, which sadly we have more of at this point of the season every year, but rather more compelling commentary regarding the playoff picture and the top offenses, defenses, and special teams.
I have made that view known to the powers that be as well and am watching for better contributions from the talented staff here.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:04 am
@TBL
I saw something on another site about The Road. I don’t know if you read the book, but Rumor has it that the movie is going to end differently. They are Hollywoodizing it.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Paolo is going to love the early games on Thanksgiving day. They’re almost as bad as last year. They’re so bad that I’m okay with not having that day off.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:05 am
he is going to end up at a white castle isnt he
November 17th, 2009 at 9:07 am
In the Democratic ranks, in Illinois, and in much of the New York-based media that is not Fox yes, but amongst the critical swing vote in most of the country absolutely not.
Remember the initial debates back in April 2007 amongst seven or so contenders? Obama was clearly overshadowed by Hillary and even Kerry.
Even most of the media were against him and for Hillary except for MSNBC in early 2008. Even the few not Republican folks on Fox News backed Hillary.
Only Oprah’s endorsement made the initial difference in the minds of more swing voters between the urban areas on the coasts, and many of those voters in those urban areas were Hillary backers not for Obama until June 2008 when he secured the nomination after quite the bitter battle.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:07 am
REally? $500K? Based on what? He flipped some people off. No physical assault, no racist commentary. Fine him? Yes. Let’s not get crazy though
He should be suspended from attending any NFL game the rest of the season
November 17th, 2009 at 9:08 am
i got free tix…i should’ve asked to be paid to go. that was awful.
fuck eric mangini.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:08 am
You are shitting me. Won’t spoil it, but I imagine how they change it so everyone won’t be suicidal at the end.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:08 am
of course Hollywood is going to tinker with the ending. standard operating procedure
November 17th, 2009 at 9:08 am
10$ tickets and just got a new job so i wanted to celebrate…left promptly after the pick 6 (as did the rest of the crowd)
November 17th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Really? I had no idea they were that bad, but I get to watch the later game at work all the same anyway. If the night time matchup on the NFL Network is good I will miss that though. Thanks for the scoop.
I have no problem working that evening at time-and-a-half after three days off plus that morning and afternoon. Easy money.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:09 am
Irish- Are you a Bills fan or is this based on principle?
November 17th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Glee chick – Hell yes.
AP Fact Check, I saw that article on the Times web site over the weekend. The fact check is hard you obviously have to get a copy of the book well in advance, it would be done by a team of several people in actuality. More politicians use these books as ways to get out their views more than building a case for themselves, so these type books, it still would be rare.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:11 am
No better way to ruin a roundup than having to sift through a pile of crap.

yeah. somebody is making a point, I guess.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Only Oprah’s endorsement made the initial difference in the minds of more swing voters between the urban areas on the coasts
I slightly disagree. Obama’s grass roots campaign that was ground-breaking in it’s organization and ability to engage those without a lot of cash to donate gave it the huge base that eventually paid off. Plus his campaign was ran better than Hillary’s. Oprah’s endorsement was only in the middle of a long presidential campaign cycle.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Goodell went way overboard on Bud Adams, but for him it is about making an example out of folks because historically when this stuff was allowed to slide far worse took place. He has little choice but to take such a no fun hard line.
How I wish the NFL along those lines just banned ALL hits to the head on any standing man outside of tackle or five yards beyond the line of scrimmage instead of its piecemeal approach over the years to ban the clothes line, face mask, horse collar, et cetera.
Such a move would not only be in the interest of more player safety but also encourage better tackling techniques and defense instead of way too many bounce-offs along the seams and the like for sake of some LB or DB trying to make the highlights as some sort of “intimidator.”
No reason such players can lay those blows below the shoulders or even knees either if they don’t want to get it done as Urlacher used to do with proper tackling technique as taught at all levels of football before the pros.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Did anybody (besides me) read that Belle du Jour book? I only read the book because I watched the series on TV, and I only watched the series, because I had the hots to see Billie Piper naked.
But I read the book. Trashy.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:15 am
What? Kerry didnt run for Prez. in 2008. He wasnt in any debates with Obama and Hillary.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Did you get drunk or ? Spencer? Beer or other? Was anything good about it at all?
November 17th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Irish- Are you a Bills fan
yep. but really, F Bud Adams
November 17th, 2009 at 9:19 am
I think you hit the very definition of “spoil it”.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:19 am
stadium mustard.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I don’t want to read that book but rather wait for some made-for-Showtime or other movie with her naked in it a la that movie with Jamie Lynn-Singer as Heidi Fleiss. I could care less about the entire films any more and just want to see such chicks naked in new stuff on TV instead of just photos mostly online as via nudography. I’m greedy with naked chicks I guess especially after the last recent hot girlfriend experience, for which I had her naked and comfortable most of the time when she was in my place.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:21 am
I meant the audience. Not the actors.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:22 am
i’m listening to a Bill Simmons podcast. The refs jobbed the Patriots, even prior to the 4th and 2. They shouldn’t have gone on fourth down, because the refs were in the Colts pockets.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:23 am
The only thing good was the D didn’t play bad. 2 turnovers gave Baltimore short field position and 10 pts. So the D gave up 6 pts. Everything else sucked. The OC, Daboll, makes me long for the days of Maurice Carthon
November 17th, 2009 at 9:23 am

November 17th, 2009 at 9:24 am
you missed it then Paolo, because she had a kid. You’re only that chick, aged 20, once. In season 2, they used a body double the whole time, because she was knocked up. She’s since had the kid, and she’s no Jessica Alba. Her days as a hot chick are done.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:26 am
i actually think it’s hot that belle de jour is a scientist.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:26 am
I can’t decide between asshole, douche, or just plain lunatic…thoughts?

how did daboll wake up this morning with a job? if lerner wants any credibility with the fans anymore he needs to fire that chump is mangini is too pussy to do it himself…buuuut good ole randy is too busy jerking off to his awesome EPL team
fuck.randy.lerner
November 17th, 2009 at 9:28 am
You are right Nino I forgot he dropped out so early! Anyway, Obama was still overshadowed by Hillary and others long forgotten like Edwards at the time in the national scene considering the swing vote.
We will have to agree to disagree there, but we have the polls before 2008 backing me up on that count too not to mention in many a state during the nomination.
Obama was not solified until June 2008, with Hillary’s until now covert consent in attendance at the Bilderberg meeting not at the DNC, in the historic battle. Watch the video.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:28 am
I hear you, but you do realize that the media went through the unprecedented step of filming/giving a shit about Obama’s preacher. I’m not saying that Wright isn’t a loon, but there ain’t a non-relative who has any idea who Bush/Reagan/Clinton’s preachers were. The fact is that the media is in gotcha mode for both sides, as they are more interested in silly bullshit than anything that would require them to actually inform their audience of something substantial.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Don’t look directly at him, and don’t move. His vision is motion based.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:29 am
TBL, read the book. You’ll be appalled that they let that chick be a scientist.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:29 am

JayV, I have tried every single approach to the situation, and they all end the exact same way. You should try exerting some of your considerable influence.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:31 am
I know it hasnt be touched on yet, but here it goes.
I’m really, really convinced that UK will not be as good as advertised, and it pains me to say this. That game had VMI written all over it. I think we’ll be better than last year, no doubt. They looked sloppy, took shit shot, made stupid decisions, and played like what they are: Freshman. I dont know why I thought they were going to be so good, but they have a loooooooong way to go.
I think Double can back me up here.

Go fuck yourself with a high hard one and sit and spin all day would be the better alternative I think for you Jay V. You asked for it.

Seeing him and Mangini yell at each other on the sideline was kinda fun.

Right on again ClevelandStaph +2 …one of my favourite commenters on here, as he is often just solid.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:36 am
That shitty shotgun offense drove me to start guzzling Makers mark out of plastic cups last night. The whole org needs to be blown up starting with Mangini. The fucked up thing is that 2010 is supposedly a great draft and we have like 5 extra picks. But I know that if we keep Mangini we’ll wind up swapping 2nd rounders for Jet’s special teamers. Screw this season, everything needs to be focused on blackmailing/bribing some good GM candidate into taking this job.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:36 am

that was like watching a seasoned subordinate who’s been through it all and knows what the fuck they’re doing yelling at his fresh-outta-school superior who’s way in over his head and is nothing more than a rich daddy, pile o’ shit.
im a colts fan for the rest of the season.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:41 am
on the other hand, im more than willing to assisinate mangini if lerner’s not willing to drop the hammer.

November 17th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Don’t hit the door on your way out BrianBridgePro and come on back when you have something sports-oriented to contribute whatever you think of my commentary.
That’s been never so far, so I challenge you on that count again. Good luck with Deadspin and lamer blogs like Souvenir City.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:45 am
Seeing him and Mangini yell at each other on the sideline was kinda fun.
at least he doesn’t cry like that pussy Rob Ryan
CelticLaw: I’m with Irish in that he should be forced to not attend another NFL game this season (great idea irish!), but $250K is enough for me to get the point across. Goodell grew up in the rural areas south of Buffalo, is a Bills fan, close to Wilson and was there at that game, so that might have had something to do with the $250K fine as well.
I hope Bud Adams has a suit fitting with the Grim Reaper in the next 30 days
November 17th, 2009 at 9:48 am
you think i want to be associated with that franchise? they can all go fuck themselves. aside from the AFC North teams, Philly is the most detestable team in the NFL.
and i don’t care if it’s full…i’ll just elbow some elderly fan or child off the bandwagon to make room. i love me some peyton manning.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Thank you Irish! Or comment with dissent and your reasoning as did Nino and Scripty above.
Or is it because most of the haters just plain have no game and are lame are usually either
1) Elitist types a la that dude and another one who think they because they went to finer schools they are more informed solely on that basis
2) Bojack loser redneck types with barely an education to manifest or exhibit in any informed opinion or commentary, chiefly again in the states of PA,OH,NJ,NY,some GA, and LA for no reason I have been able to figure out and probably will not figure out.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:50 am

we had a good run with no issues in the comments. what happened in the last few days that has led to this?
November 17th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Interesting …Goodell probably homered it then as well, but I don’t agree with JPQ’s view for a season ban at all. The example has been set with a fine that is too hefty all the same. At least the money goes to charity though.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Right you asked a question openly and got my answer too Jay V.
Now you know what it’s like to be me sometimes when I stick my neck out too.
Welcome.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I see no issues today but from the same bunch who hate me anyway …it comes with the territory no big deal …great posts overall I think otherwise.
No worries I won’t be ranting like yesterday any more after the issue that drew my ire was settled amicably.
And the goaders know who they are and for the good of all of us are backing off if they have just a hate rant without an informed free opinion.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I think it’s quite obvious.

I gotta say in all seriousness that the Browns are worse than the Lions last year, and I really feel for you Cleveland fans. That team is unwatchable, has probably 3-5 talented players out of 53, and how Mangina still is employed is beyond me.
The team has quit on him, he’s not getting them back, and they should just dumpster fire the entire deal.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:02 am
It’s just you, Paolo. We all love the clown.

He’s not the kind of guy I’d like to see run off by other comments
sorry for ya Dirt
November 17th, 2009 at 10:04 am
you hate the clown JPQ? I’m shocked and appalled.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
But it’s funny. Every season you need one insanely bad trainwreck.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
i had this exact conversation with my friends last night JPQ…the lions lost every game last yr but at least they scored points…this browns team is not only terrible, but boring to watch. i really have no idea how we have a win, we deserve should go 0-16 and suspended next yr
November 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I apologize for ruining your life.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Anyone else realize that ATL has the best record in the Eastern Conference?
/Ignore the fact that they have 70+ games left.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:05 am
This.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:06 am
@Gods- just wait till they play Orlando 4 times
November 17th, 2009 at 10:10 am
you hate the clown JPQ? I’m shocked and appalled.
never said that, you just said everybody loves him. I don’t. Nothing more. Nothing less.
That’s the way it is with everybody here. Some people you love, some people you like, some people’s comments are invisible in that you gloss right over them, some people annoy you, and some people (one person?) a lot of people hate.

2) Bojack loser redneck types with barely an education to manifest or exhibit in any informed opinion or commentary, chiefly again in the states of PA,OH,NJ,NY,some GA, and LA for no reason I have been able to figure out and probably will not figure out.
can I still be one of these if I’m not from one of the mentioned states? I think I fit the description…
November 17th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Howard will go for 20-20 like he always does. I just wish ATL could find a serviceable center so Horford could play PF. Hell, if they had Gortat they would be much better in the post than they are now. ATL is kind of screwed in that I don’t think they can get any higher than 4th in the East after 82 games.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Do you realize that we had our GM escorted from the building after only 8 months on the job, and we still don’t know if he was fired because he sucked (justifiable), generally just pissed off Lerner or tried to rape Brady Quinn. We are way worse than a trainwreck, more like an oil spill or Pompeii.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:14 am
@Gods- Jamal Crawford was a great addition to the Hawks. He can come in and light it up on any occasion.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:16 am
This is exactly what I mean. It’s incredible. We had the Mets and Nats in baseball, now we have the Browns. Very entertaining.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:17 am
@ Staph, you should be the population of Bhopal, and the Browns are Union Carbide. Incompetent, uncaring, and unleashing their toxic products on your city.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:18 am
No you are cool Ill no matter what state …no worries folks I am out and all will be better…thanks JPQ for the accurate comments at the very least.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Yup. And getting Teague was also smart. ATL has two talented guys coming off of the bench, plus a hustle player in the goon off of the bench.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:21 am
ahem…
SERGIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/continue glossing
November 17th, 2009 at 10:22 am
ive always loved crawford…he’s going to have one or two years when he matures where he’s going to be like joe johnson. i completely believe this.
i like the hawks, but they’re gonna get ripped apart in the playoffs. just not enough depth yet.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:23 am
/runs away crying
November 17th, 2009 at 10:25 am
spencer: speaking of SERRRRRRRRRRRRGIO!!!, I caught about 10 minutes of that Kiwi thing, and it looks lik AK lost 47 lbs in the last month.
I guess getting called out might have done something. He didn’t even look like the same guy
November 17th, 2009 at 10:25 am
If Teague can develop this year, they can upset one of the big 3. If not, it will be one and done again.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Hawks are a fun team to watch… I think of them as an East Coast version of the Warriors, except the Hawks can win games and they don’t have Nelly as coach, and they don’t have Stephen Curry to make TBL’s… well, never mind…
The Hawks are a fun team to watch, period.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:28 am
jpq…he struggled with weight loss all season. if you caught any of the tourney he played in indonesia in the spring, the dude looked like a corpse. his face was all gaunt and he couldn’t have weighed a pound over 140.
that kiwi thing is great TV. the lineup they had was particularly cool considering all four guys weer under 30 and top notch players on a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL and actually inerestingly designed course. i’d like to see the same foursome come back next season.
btw…even tho he lost, im completely sold on hunter mahan. if his balls drop, he could be a force. same with o’hair. and kim…
ok…so all of those guys could be forces if their balls drop. i guess that was the whole point of the foursome.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:30 am
i agree with this but…
id like them more if they had the classic, nique/webb/augmon-era jerseys. those ones they have now are just a uniform abortion.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:31 am
No way, he’s an erratic mess with shit between his ears.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:32 am
true…but he’s an erratic mess who can OCCASSIONALLY go off for fitty.
can’t teach fitty.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:33 am
btw…even tho he lost, im completely sold on hunter mahan.
totally agree. though, i think mahan will be much better than o’hair and ak because of his putting. kid can putt.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:33 am
this was in the headline. hopefully someone commented on it
November 17th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. When J Smoove pulled on the Nique jersey and did the windmill in the dunk contest a few years ago, I may have peed myself. They need to go back to the Pac Man logo.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:34 am
spencer: you’re right about those guys next year. Would be fun to see some young guys come in and mix it up. Stricker was a surprise last year, but he’s almost as old as I am
November 17th, 2009 at 10:35 am
amen brother.
loved his final round 62 at congressional in tiger’s tourney this year when he made like 200 feet of putts in that last round. just insane. when he gets hot, there isn’t a course designed that can contain him.

November 17th, 2009 at 10:41 am
btw…even tho he lost, im completely sold on hunter mahan.
truth… his putt/rd avg isn’t the best, but he’s rarely in trouble, so when his putter is hot, it’s all birdies.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:43 am

Really? He’s 29 and in his 10th year in the league…that would be some serious late blooming to finally mature.

November 17th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
just got to read the roundup now, so im very late on commenting but
you know he made the Animal, right?
November 17th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
CT – what about Deuce Bigelow?
agree his movies stink, but he’s funny on the Stern show, in standup, guest spots on TV shows, etc
dont think he can carry a movie
November 17th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I can agree on Deuce Bigalow, I guess, but definitely not the sequel. And after you said it, it’s truly amazing how famous someone can get for such shitty work. I think I actually enjoyed him the best when he was in Grandma’s Boy and he was in that movie for no longer then 5 minutes. All of that is forgotten, however, when you know he’s made movies like the The Hot Chick and The Benchwarmers.
ugh.
