The Roundup: More Bad News for Lost, Facebook and Miguel Cabrera’s Lunchbox
Uncategorized November 8th. 2007, 8:46am
A hockey player gave Kelli Pickler up? … anyone else get the impression that these trend economy pieces are always a few weeks behind? … Garmin (you know, the way cool hand-held GPS, is down about $25 in a week, so is it time to get it at $90? … we’ve largely ignored talking about instant replay in baseball, but only because we’re silently rooting for it really, really hard … Damon Wayans is either really funny or was just jacked up on drugs here … for the country music fans in the house, Carrie Underwood cleaned up last night … this may seem incredible, but we haven’t seen Tommy Boy. Apparently, he’s kind of like the Nebraska coach, or something …

“A hockey player gave Kelli Pickler up? “
Like, for Lent or something?
(Are you perhaps missing a link, Mr. TBL?)

Garmin is down because they are trying purchase a company with a mountain of debt. That, and their stock price has always been a bit too high. Investors for some reason are snookered into thinking that having a billion in cash on hand is a good thing. I think this is nothing more than a market correction and it still may go down some more. But, it is a well run company and will continue to grow. Whenever the stock price hits the low, pick it up. I believe it will go lower than 90.
Whoohoo! Financial advice on the TBL! Beats in depth discussions of the Wonder Years.

This site’s financial news does NOT beat in depth discussions about The Wonders Years. Not much does, in fact.
I love the new page layout, by the way.

Damon Wayans was channeling me. (not the Hoe’s part).

“Hey Honey, yeah, I cheated on you again, but I was drunk and she was hot. Let’s just put an asterisk by it.”
Stop the asterisk madness

Good call on Garmin. We’ll wait for 80.
Pickler just looked hot last night at the CMAs, and we’re surprised that a few months ago that Alaskan hockey guy (Tootoo?) cheated on her. Fool

This just in to your NewsTeam 4 news desk…the NYT emphasizes negative economic news with a Republican President.
And in other news, Donovan McNabb backtracks on comments he made, again.
Film at 11 on the News channel you trust.

You haven’t seen Tommy Boy? What. . . the . . . .F@#$?!?! Come on guys, this is why some of the movie weeks make people scratch their head. Though, admittedly, we all have movies we haven’t seen and people go “What?!” For me it’s Sixth Sense and Titanic.

Are the major networks able to just give lucrative individual contracts to the writers of the really popular shows? Like could NBC or ABC just go to the writers of 30 Rock and Lost and say here is a boatload of money to cross over the picktet line?
If the major networks can just keep a handful of good shows and their popular reality shows on the air with new material, they can just wait out this strike. Seriously is there a grassroots movement out there to get the writers of “Carpool” back to work?………… didn’t think so.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:39 am
I got dragged to Titanic. I think everyone in high school at the time was forced to watch it.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:41 am
I actually think Skip Balis is spot on in his takes on LeGlobal Icon and the Kobe fiasco. In the shows he is placed in he has to argue against the grain. He is the heel. If everyone on ESPN’s patented argue festival shows (PTI, First Take) argued on the side of logic and reason the show would be more like this.
Sage: So Jamelle, how do you feel about the Kobe fiasco?
Jamelle: I think they should trade him or shut up.
Sage: And you Skip?
Skip: I agree with Jamelle.
Yeah I watch that show when I go home at lunch. So what? Wanna fight about it?

@hopboy – You don’t really get labor disputes, do you?
November 8th, 2007 at 9:53 am
Hopboy,
Because they are in a union, they are contractually bound NOT to be able to just cross over. The last time the writers did this, the big networks lost a ton of money. I hope this gets resolved soon because I don’t know if I will be interested in LOST if they don’t bring it back till 2009. I love the show, but my ADD kicks in after a year or so being gone.
TBL, give me your address and I will send you a copy of Tommy Boy (I have two). Great movie and by far, Chris Farley’s best movie.

Way to get everyone scared about the Preakness. That doesn’t involve the infield where the real drinking takes place. Who pays for a seat at the Preakness???
November 8th, 2007 at 9:56 am
My co-”workers” and I sometimes play the “Name the movies everyone in the world but you has seen” game. For me it’s any of the Godfather movies and Pulp Fiction….and just about anything that’s come out in the past five years.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:56 am
TBL…that Preakness link is very misleading. If you would have read it, you would have seen that while outside alcohol may be banned in the grandstand and clubhouse, they are still allowing cases of beer in the infield. You had me worried for a minute.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:19 am
Pickler gets porky sometimes. Looks hot there though.
How come Damon Wayas was never half that funny on his show? Good stuff from him.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:21 am
TBL I am very disappointed in you. You have Wedding Crashers up there on your list of all-time favs, but you’ve NEVER seen Tommy Boy? I have my top ten of fav movies and a movie only qualifies as a top ten if I see it on tv and can’t turn the channel. Whenever it’s on, I have to stop and watch it no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
Tommy Boy is one of those movies. It’s on TBS tons, and if I happen to see it when I’m flipping, I always have to stop.
It’s a CLASSIC. You MUST rent or buy it this weekend. It’s worth it!!!! Like what pkiguy22 said, it is one of Chris Farley’s best movies. David Spade, too.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:22 am
sorry mexico, I don’t really care about labor disputes involving coked out writers. I just want 30 rock back on the air.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:47 am
You tease about schrutebag and make me go google for the link? Just say Schrutebag talks nonsense about the Mets and save me the 5 minutes next time.
November 8th, 2007 at 10:49 am
My co-â€workers†and I sometimes play the “Name the movies everyone in the world but you has seen†game. For me it’s any of the Godfather movies…”
You, Jimmy Chitwood, are a barbarian. GF and GFII are quite arguably the greatest pieces of film ever created.
And may your first child, be a masculine child.

Most people spend 8 years in college.
Yeah, they are called Doctors.
What’s that mean?
I have to admit that I HATE david spade, but it is the best movie Chris ever did

I thought Pickler looked beat last night. But I’m not a big Pickler fan.
Taylor Swift on the other hand…

Did I hear a niner? Were you calling from a walkie talkie?
November 8th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
I have never seen any Godfather movies either… EVERYONE seems to think that is horrible. Of course I have never seen Serpico either, but is that so bad?
November 8th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
ok TBL, you get saved by Magglio. HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU NOT SEEN ANY OF THE GODFATHER MOVIES? it’s the greatest american film saga of all time. but TBL, you have to see Tommy Boy, want me to send over my dvd?
November 8th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
Never seen Tommy Boy and never heard of Comfortably Numb until The Departed soundtrack came out. Did you grow up in a fallout shelter or something?
