Katy Perry … guess what happens when you report that your weed was stolen? … the middle class squeeze continues … Dawson Leery’s marriage ends after six years … Oprah’s show will leave ABC in 2011 … if you were married in Texas over the last few years, you’ll want to read this … newspapers in South Florida are not doing so well … how rude … 13-year-old busted trying to get a hooker who was an undercover cop … if you try to set your girlfriend – or anyone, really – on fire, shouldn’t you be automatically killed? … love the headline: Man beaten with squeegee after gas pump argument …
Woody Paige reads blogs, clearly doesn’t like to be ripped. Who does? (Bronco Talk)
Ricky Williams scored three times and the Dolphins beat the Panthers. The loss likely eliminates the Panthers from the playoffs. (PBP, Observer)
Idiocy: “Thierry Henry must be banned from playing in the 2010 World Cup.” (Telegraph)
Most overpaid actor? Will Ferrell. (Hollywood Reporter)
The Bears snubbed NBC cameras this week leading up to the Sunday night game against Philly. (Blogdown)
And here’s the follow-up on that – the obligatory, ‘be careful with the media’ column. (Sun-Times)

The Georgia Bulldog died yesterday. It won’t be replaced prior to Saturday’s game. (AJC)
At least you know it’s fresh.
The incredible Perrish Cox punt return starts at the :07 mark. Oklahoma State won using its 3rd string QB. The loss will likely cost Colorado coach Dan Hawkins his job.

his movies would be funny again if he didn’t try to be the funniest person in the movie.

Oh Katy Perry.

Most overpaid actor? Will Ferrell.
I agree Will is overpaid, but when was the last time Nick Cage put out a movie. If Nick Cage gets 5 dollars to do a movie, he is being overpaid in my book.

IT? UGA fans might not like you calling a sacred dog like UGA an it. Scary that he was only 4 years old. I have a bulldog and I try to keep her in shape so this kinda shit doesn’t happen. Especially after how much we paid for her.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:32 am
too much cake on the face for me.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Ricky may have the freshest 32 year old legs ever in the league.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:40 am
Replay Ireland v France. It’s fair that way.
RIP Uga.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Ouch, that’s akin to the 30-year-old ex-star QB wearing his letterman jacket to a HS football game.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:43 am
I’m far from an animal lover, but it just seems mean spirited to fry half of a fish and let it live while you eat it. I couldn’t even watch 15 seconds of that video, it really upset me.
That being said I’d love to be in the middle of a Katy Perry Zoey Deschanel sandwitch

I won’t miss Oprah, although the show yesterday with makeovers for men was really good–mostly because of Tim Gunn and all his fabulousness. Dear god, what will the “fairwell” tour be like next year? Spare me.

In three years it will say:
The 35-year-old actor recently appeared on two episodes of “The Young & The Restless” and has starred in films such as “Varsity Blues” and “The Rules of Attraction,” as well as a blistering four-episode run on “One Tree Hill.”

It’s borderline criminal what they do to those dogs. They breed them big on purpose, knowing that it will shorten their life, and guaranteeing that the dog will have back problems, and trouble breathing.
/I’ll avoid taking a cheap shot at UGA people for now

Is Oprah retiring, or is she Jay Leno “retiring?”

@ younglefty – why wait? I’ve already started with UVA folks.
/really that’s a 24/7/365 thing though…
November 20th, 2009 at 8:57 am
@ Jay, she’s starting new network OWN that’s ironically co-OWNed by Discovery. She’ll produce shows and may appear on some. In short she’s continiuning her path to world domination.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:57 am

Too bad about Uga. How does a dog die when it’s only 4? I’ve got two friends, each with a bulldog, and those portly little guys are two different personalities. One runs all over the place and constantly pants; the other is totally laid back. I think they both have breathing problems though because of their facial design. Poor guys. RIP Uga VII.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:59 am
My favorite Uga moment was when that one bit at the Auburn player’s balls and the Florida player’s hand. Not sure if it was the same one or when it all went down but the videos are on YouTube.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:00 am
@younglefty – secretly though, I love the UVA campus. I went to a training at the law school a few years ago and loved the design of the buildings and how much natural light they let it.
For some reason, when I went as a high school senior, it did nothing for me. I’ve never regretted my decision.

I have always coveted an English Bulldog, but after reading that they chew through hardwood floors I have moved on to a nice Maltese.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Tough not to. It’s gorgeous.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:06 am
i know it sounds gay, but my sister’s friend has a maltese and it’s the coolest dog i’ve ever met. if it wasn’t 5 lbs. id totally get one.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:07 am
The problem with the UGA dog is that his father had a heart condition and so it isn’t really a surprise that this one had problems as well. I made sure that we did a lot of research on our breeder and the dogs she had. We in turn have a healthy dog with no breathing problems and a healthy heart.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I found out about this last night at the bar. Laughed my ass off when I saw the Urban Dictionary definition.

The MSU v PSU game is gonna suck. We’ll get worked. At least we are playing Toledo in hoops tomorrow too.

Oprah is “retiring” to her own channel, instead of regular tv.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Sadly, it’s never that good again. Prepare yourself.

It’s probably a little more socially acceptable if spencer walked around with a guinea pig in his purse as opposed to a gerbil.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:19 am
but Penn State is not that good. We generally play them well at home. This is a very similar 2007 feel to it.

Agree with Sparty. Do not go anywhere near betting on this game (either way).
November 20th, 2009 at 9:22 am
And he had like 80 yards and 0 TDs in a loss to Wake Forest.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:23 am
Keshawn Martin is going to play the role of Devin Thomas.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:24 am
I actually sneaked a peek into the MSU practice the other day, the players seem pretty fired up for the game.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Morelli aint walking through that door (not that clark is a much better).
MSU is getting spanked, give me that beautiful land grant trophy.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:26 am
of course they are. if they win, they get to go play a bowl game in Texas. if they lose, they are get to play in Detroit.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:26 am
whatever…ya’ll haven’t met baxter. he’s cool as fuck, and if liking the coolest fuckin’ dog in the world is gay, well…call hef gay and leave me alone.

If it’s smaller than a football, it’s not a real dog.

Great bird dogs… in fact, the best i’ve hunted with.
@spencer – give me another photo. That one’s too close. Is it an Irish Wolf Hound?
November 20th, 2009 at 9:47 am
yes, lefty, i do, though I wouldn’t recommend owning 3 of them and then having a baby. Also you’ll be happier if you own several vacuum cleaners.
Swissies are health risks, because they’re so line bred. I’m against Airedales, because i don’t like any terriers, even though I like Airedales.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:49 am
They’re great for hunting, and they make great pets too.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:52 am
+ 10 younglefty – they are gorgeous dogs.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:52 am
My two boys are absolutely mortified of guns. Terrified. I got one of them free because he got to big to show, then he wouldn’t hunt either, so nobody wanted him. Plus, he’s mental. He now works full time as a therapy dog, so he’s got something to do, because otherwise, he’s very wound up.
The best thing about Brittanies is that they simply cannot be mean. They had the meanness bred out of them a long time ago.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I like Brittanies, but Springers are the best. I have two.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I have a jack russell. its small but it is a dog. its faster than most dogs at the dog park, can jump high as shit and rumbles with other dogs. So i don’t know if the 20 lb demarcation is absolute.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Also eating an animal while its alive is over the line for me, even if it is a fish.
November 20th, 2009 at 9:58 am
it’s an airedale
November 20th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Swissies are health risks, because they’re so line bred.
What dogs over 100lbs aren’t health risks?
November 20th, 2009 at 10:03 am
yea it seems like all of them have hip dysplasia (sp?) risk, among other things
November 20th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Not a single Psycho Sid Vicious joke after the squeegee beating article? For shame.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:09 am
What dogs over 100lbs aren’t health risks?
obviously dogs with hybrid vigor, but what I meant was “there’s a good chance you’re going to end up dropping 10 grand on this dog in it’s lifetime on vet bills for unforeseen complications coming from line breeding” health risks, not just the simple fact that big dogs live shorter lives.
Most goldens are pretty healthy, as are most labs, because they get bred so broadly.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:14 am
this is true with a lot of line bred dogs as well even if they’re not huge.
my pooch had a stroke when she was six, needed a tumor removed from her paw at 8 (half of it was cut off), and has skin cancer. adds up to about $7k spent at the vet (including the standard shit).
November 20th, 2009 at 10:18 am
my littlest Brit is getting acupuncture now, because she’s super arthritic. She used to be the most active, but she was always getting hurt. Now she’s getting a lot of bone spurs, and her hip is locked up, so she hobbles around on three feet all the time.
However, being a Brittany, she still freaks out at 6am and has to bust out the door to the treeline with the fellas to smell for stuff. If I hold her back she does nothing but choke herself and scream.
Acupuncture is 45 bucks a throw for a dog, and it’s probably doing nothing. But what do you do? Hip surgery?
November 20th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Are you sure thats Katy Perry? At first glance it doesn’t look like her.

November 20th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Depends on her age and the chance of a successful result from the surgery. If there is a good chance the surgery won’t improve her condition significantly, it is really difficult to spend the money on it.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Dogs are dogs. People who give the “small dogs are for pussies” line weep secretly about the tinyness of their own cocks.
I have a Lhasa Apso. He’s 21 pounds. He is awesome. My next dog is gonna be a Rottweiler, because I think they are awesome.
The lesson: dogs are awesome.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
The girlfriend and I are thinking about getting a newfoundland dog. Any thoughts? Important note: we live in an apartment (pretty big, but an apartment nonetheless). We’ve read a few different sites that Newfies are not as active as other big dogs and like being indoors. We still plan on taking the dog, whatever we get, a few longs walks during the day.
