The Roundup: Sports Radio Dork, Illegal Baseball Scoops? and the Contender Returns!
Uncategorized August 13th. 2007, 6:41am
Sorry, just had a minor Kim Kardashian withdrawal … exciting news – got the new iMac! It rocks, and we hope it will translate into goodness for this little site of ours … please tell me you guys saw the Flavor Flav roast last night on Comedy Central. Could give a flip about Flavor Flav, but how funny is Lisa Lampanelli? Chick is a riot .. if you ever click on a link of ours and it takes you to a registration page you’re not signed up for, then it’s probably worth hitting up bugmenot and quickly getting a password, because the story’s worth it …

Alberts used to bug the hell out of me, but I actually agree with most of what he said in that Column. Florida is wildly overrated. They have some talent, all of it young, but aren’t #3 in the country.

…providing further validation for the newly minted phrase, “You Got Blatched.”

Make sure to get the NY Post tomorrow for the rivited stories of Mickey Mantle’s drinking, Dwight Gooden’s drug use and Lawrence Taylor’s sweet LT earring. These are exclusive stories, people!

Will that new iMac be able to keep The Big Lead from crashing when more than 10 people visit?

The Flavor Flav roast was awesome last night — I missed the first half hour watching Entourage. Yeah, Lampanelli killed. Jeffrey Ross was smashing, and Snoop Dogg was surprisingly quite good. Carrot Top has, er, issues.

I seriously think it is exreamly poor taste to continue to post pictures of that whore on this site. BigLead, this site has been getting ribbed by the media lately and other blogs for the increasing amount of bullshit posts and poor comment fishing titles. To cap it off, it seems the general concensus that being obsessed with a trust fund slut who isnt even smart enough to realize she shows up at the murdered woman’s fundraiser, whom the killer her father defended and wrongfully got off. There is a hot place in hell for purveyors of trash such as this.

Please check your soapboxes at the door.
Thanks.

Anyone want to nominate Swandong as the TBL Ombudsman? Seriously –this is a sports/entertainment site that we don’t even pay to read.
Aren’t there some cats in a tree that need saving?

Mufford – Probably not, unless the imac has a server i dont know about. But a good question nonetheless.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:58 am
I’m just sick of seeing that bitch, honestly. I thought you could do better than that. I mean, that bitch from blue crush isn’t anorexic anymore.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:01 am
Swandog, I think somewhere in your profanity laced tirades you may have cogent points. Try articulating them sanely and you might get some responses that focus on your ideas rather than your apparent anger-management issues.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:06 am
Is this church? I didn’t know you were so easily offended. I’m sorry, I go fucking swear somewhere else for a while. The irony here is that supposedly I have a dirty mouth, yet the trashwhore of the year is front and center everyday. At least my swearing is less redundant and creative than reposting pictures of a no talent twat that you beat off to nightly.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Damn, Swandong! Your pissed early today… I just wanted to say that that might have been the best roast ever, they just keep getting better and grimier.
Jimmy Kimmel – “We almost couldnt get Lisa Lampenelli here, up until six this morning she was tied to a truck axel in Michael Vick’s backyard.”
Hilarious.

I agree, I’m a little pissy, I’m sick of that broad though, and all of that variety in fact. Besides the point I’ve realized. Did it look to anyone else like Carrot-Top actually WAS getting pissed about everyone ripping him, cause I thought he seemed genuinely pissed about it all. And it was funny that everyone kept calling the flavor of love whores, well, whores all night.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Yeah CT was pretty pissed, but I thought he was hilarious when he got up there, I need one of those bongs with the mirrors!!!
August 13th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Yes no Bonds and Vick posts, thank you!!!
August 13th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
lol, the mirror-bong was hilarious. that and finding lisa lapanelli’s dead fetai in the bottom of the dumpster was right in line.
August 13th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
The roast was awesome but Comedy Central and VH1 take notes…….Bridgett is not FUNNY!
Lapanelli bangs the blacks….Classic Line!

Trev Alberts is a punkass for making that comment about Florida. He is a known Gator Hater and cant get made that Nebraska sucks and the Gators don’t!
August 13th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Nebraska 62
Florida 24
Nebrasksa 3 national titles, Florida 2
August 13th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Sorry make that 5 national championships for Nebraska
August 13th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Come on gatorman. You know the Gators are overrated at #3. They are very talented, but #3? Right now? After losing so many starters from last year. Nah.
The roast was great. Greg Giraldo absolutely slayed with the opening roast. Hilarious. Kimmel was really good too. Good stuff. I thought Carrot Top was on the verge of crying/going postal. He clearly didn’t get the memo about how a roast works before the show.
August 13th, 2007 at 1:10 pm
Damn sounds like I should have TIVOd the Roast. Anyone know when the first repeat airing of it is on Comedy Central?
August 13th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
I’m sure it’ll re-air a million times cbh. I guess the cc website might say definitively.
August 13th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Smells like sex and cocoa butter in here.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
Best line of the roast: Patton Oswalt saying Chuck D wasn’t there because the D stood for dignity.
The fact that Chuck was not there was really disappointing. No Spike Lee, no Mista Chuck. The least they could have done was had those brothers from NOIS show up.

” BigLead, this site has been getting ribbed by the media lately and other blogs for the increasing amount of bullshit posts and poor comment fishing titles.”
There’s no room for blog on blog crime.
August 14th, 2007 at 8:55 am
Damn, totally missed that Swandog’s comment until you made reference, BG.
Any links to the ribbing?
Kim K forever!
