Uncategorized August 15th. 2007, 6:32am
Sorry for the hot chick absence, but this compelling Associated Press photo of Jose Offerman is just too good to pass up … You know we’ve been sweating Wonder Years in the 10 p.m. TV slot every night, and now, we have found a 9 p.m show to precede it: The Dukes of Hazzard … not that you’ll care, but we’ve got a massive hoops game tonight, win and we’re in the playoffs … you know what’s not a terrible movie? The Ringer with Knoxville and hot Heigl … sorry we didn’t get around to our NFL preview Tuesday, but that’s due up today …

I think it’s a great idea that the NCAA associate itself even further with the psychotic death cult of hip hop. Brilliant. Guess this Vick crap has no bearing on how they do business.
Maybe there’s something to that thinking about playing golf too much, just do it.
Frustrating game. I can’t imagine shooting a 63. That’s got to be a put on.

Yeah, baby, Kitna’s my backup fantasy QB.

Playoffs?
Basketball playoffs?
You’ll be lucky if you win another game.
Playoffs?

In my opinion, that sucked.

OK, now you’re just trying to be nonsensical.

Good to have you back, Unsilent. Dukes of Hazzard is an iconic show, an seriously … The Ringer wasn’t terrible. It won’t make any movie lists, but I didn’t switch away … like i did during the VASTLY overrated, Napolean Dynamite …

I made it through 20 minutes of that shitfest and it was not easy.

I swear, I can’t even tell if you’re being serious.

Ms. Vaughns lawsuits has to be the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in awhile…how are you going to decide, 4 months after the occurance, that now you need to sue him?? Let me guess, she didn’t get drafted in the WNBA….her liberal arts degree isn’t landing her a job, and oh yeah I could get a couple million from Imus, might as well….

Pluto is a great writer. Check out “Loose Balls” about the ABA, or the “Curse of Rocky Calivatio” both entertaining sports books.

The Ringer was one of the most retarded movies I’ve ever made it through.

Didn’t get drafted into the WNBA and Liberal Arts Degree. Damn, her lawsuit isn’t 1/8 as ridiculous as that post. She’s entering her Junior season, genius.

Napoleon Dynamite is stupid the first time you watch it, but I happened to watch it again, and got more stuff, and every time you watch it, it gets funnier. I can’t explain why, but I pretty much guarantee that you will see funny stuff that you missed the first time around, and more the next time, and so on……

Totally irrespective of any other movies for comparison’s sake, the Ringer is one of the worst movies I have seen in the past 5 years. It was painful to sit through. It was a horrible, horrible idea and even given that was poorly executed. Knoxville was awful in it as well. Horribly unfunny, horribly contrived, completely unbelievable and uninteresting. I am starting to get scared of your movie tastes TBL. The Ringer? wow.
