The Roundup: Pac 10 > SEC? … Lots of Torre … Gisele Overload
Uncategorized October 22nd. 2007, 7:52am
We’re totally going to all the wrong gas stations, and if Christiana Milian is in a movie, we’re watching it … most random email from a reader, ever (the subject was ‘Trickeration’): “Did you know a fetus self aborts everytime Rece Davis utters that word?” ummmmmm … Sam Brownback bows out of the 2008 Presidential race … if Les Moonves of CBS could take a salary reduction and have performance-based incentives, why couldn’t Joe Torre? …

Just when you think you’ve got things figured out, Sam Brownback goes and stops running for President. Le sigh…

Am I crazy, or is Miliam way hotter than Gisele? That man-face of G’s is kind of creepy.

I meant “Milian.”

If anyone wondered why the smaller market fans hate the Yankees so much, that statement should just seal it.

Um, for Lewis to be the next Tiger, he would have to actually win the Driver’s Championship. You might want to update that.
He didn’t, Kimi Raikonnen did yesterday, after Lewis choked big time and was very rookie by trying to race rather than lay back and let the win come to him. McLaren is appealing a ruing on some fuel that BMW and WIlliams were using. If they are successful, Lewis can become the Champ with the exclusion of three cars, bringing up his point total to surpass Kimi.
If he weren’t in one of the fastest cars, if not the fastest, he would be nowhere. McLaren has incubated him for years.
He’s got great talent, obviously, and can get very Schumacher-like when needed, but he’s still a 22 year old guy without a good handle on his emotions yet.
What a crazy F1 season.

Because Les Moonves doesn’t work for George Steinbrenner.

h8r–I’m with you on Giselle. She looks pretty rough without makeup. I never would’ve imagined that. Quite manly…no wonder Leo DiCaprio dated her.

The Pac 10 guy’s logic is sub-moronic. LSU’s defense couldn’t handle Oregon’s spread. Yeah, because LSU OC Gary Crowton would have no insight on Oregon’s offense since he was Oregon’s OC last year. And apparently LSU is shit because they lost to Kentucky on the road in triple OT, while Oregon lost to Cal at home.
Then he randomly starts doubling-up matchups to make up for the SEC’s 12 teams. So he has the 7th-best SEC team playing the 6th best Pac 10 team, and so on. How ignorant.
Here’s the deal. Georgia is currently the SEC’s 8th best team, and Arkansas is the ninth. Arizona and Stanford are the Pac 10’s 8 and 9 best team. Case closed.
Let me guess. He also thinks Stanford’s win over USC is a testament to the Pac 10’s balance, but Vandy’s win over South Carolina is a sign that the SEC is a joke.

Oh yeah, and last time I checked, the top team in the Pac 10 is not Oregon. It’s UCLA, who LOST TO NOTRE FUCKING DAME.

I have to say that I didn’t agree with the logic of that PAC-10 guy. I wouldn’t be surprised if the BCS Title game doesn’t feature a team from either conference. Watch Kansas run the board and play Ohio State in the championship.
October 22nd, 2007 at 9:56 am
I doubt that Kansas can beat Missouri. And if they do, they can’t beat Oklahoma in the title game. At least I hope so. And Ohio State will have a tough time with Michigan.
My best guess? Oklahoma (probably won’t lose) vs. LSU (whom I suspect may lose again) or MAYBE a one-loss Pac-10 team (I think they could all wind up with 2)

In my book, Milian kills Gisele.
As a friend said recently, ‘you wonder when the fact that he’s banging a victoria’s secret model is going to wear off Brady.’

What happens every time May & Holz yell “Reverse!” every time it’s simple end-around?
October 22nd, 2007 at 10:42 am
Anyone on here dating someone as hot as Gisele? Anyone? Mr. Bueller??
What’s F1? Holy cow, I need a translator for that diatribe.

Did Joe Torre pass on Fox because he was afraid that ESPN would pull its 24-7 Joe Torre Lovefest if he went to a competing network?
October 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 am
Formula One (1).
Ya know, car racing, Michael Schumacher, highest paid athlete in the world, most watched sport…
That stuff, the stuff that gets bumped on ESPN for Stu Scott’s hipster prose.

Wags, my post was intended to be facetious.
So much for my writing career.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Oh, sorry.
It’s Monday and the Stillers lost embarrassingly, I’m in a foul, dark Jame Gumb type ‘o mood.

Let’s just match-up the SEC vs the Pac-10, head to head. You’d have:
#1 LSU vs Arizona State
#4 Florida vs USC
#7 Auburn vs Stanford
#Last Ole Miss vs Washington State
Who’d you favor?

Doesn’t the pic of Jake the Snake look like a promo for the Cavemen sitcom? BTW, last week’s episode was much better and very funny! Might be more funny if the three central characters were sapiens and the world was modern cavemen. Kind of a planet of the apes send up!
