The Roundup: Das Boot Day
Baseball, College Basketball, Golf, NBA, NFL, NHL, Video January 22nd. 2008, 7:58am
Sure, we mentioned the Rachel Bilson GQ photos and video last week, but really, would you argue if we ran these frequently? … today is going to be a bad, bad day in the stock market – Black Tuesday? – so brace yourselves. We’ve actually seen blogs that mention nutty predictions, like a two percent rate cut from Bernake, which would send Gold skyrocketing and our dollar plummeting further … speaking of Bernake – good profile of the guy here … Colbert in the Smithsonian … layoffs at Yahoo? … Bill Clinton falls asleep in public, newspaper has a field day with it … we’ve never been a fan of that “edgy” douche Jared Leto, so the fact that someone sent us this photo of him hooking up with that turbo slut Paris Hilton is beyond comical … has anyone partied at Sully’s in Louisville? A friend came back raving, and highly recommends it … Man on probation from gambling wins the lottery, pays $65 fine, keeps his $1 million …

Personally, I think every player in the NBA should be moved to a team that can make the playoffs. Even the ones that are already starting for playoff contenders. Those are the players that need to be moved to playoff contenders where they can be free and start for playoff contenders.

Not mentioned- Mike Carey may become the first referee to make the “giving him the business” call in a Super Bowl, if Richard Seymour is on his game.

75 bps cut, TBL. Might not be so bad after all.
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
i saw emmitts comercial last night for his just for men ad. what is he going to do next, weight watchers with Golic.
anyone else notice Greenberg’s show didnt last, the Duel
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:50 am
irish…wasnt greenberg’s show only a week long to begin with? im not positive, but i think i read that somewhere.
omg omg! richard seymour dirty? NO WAY. no way in hell. not on a defense with such classy, upstanding players like mike vrabel and rodney harrison and such an honorable coach such as belichick. i refuse to believe this.

@spence: no dogging on the former buckeyes, man. still trying to get that image of Big Z out of my head, btw. thanks.

You mean the “emergency” rate cut? The only solution is to do nothing and let the chips fall where they may. Some people will be hurt, but sometimes, that will happen. Otherwise, you are just delaying the inevitable.
The only problem with this is that Bernake is a Bush guy, and if the Republicans want any shot at the White House, they must delay the problems as long as possible. If the bottom falls out tomorrow, Rudy and Romney et al should just throw in the towel.

the .75 cut is only a itty bitty band aid on a big ass open wound. Thing are about to get ugly in 54 minutes
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:04 am
Sully’s is fun to go to once or twice, but it’s overrated like most of 4th street. I will say though, that it’s never short on supply of hot females. Anyone who enjoys 4th street and lives in Louisville, is the same type of person that would end up on http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com. I’m more of a fan of the Bardstown Road myself.

TBL – Bernanke was clearing wearing the Bad Idea Jeans when he made the rate cut. I don’t think, however, it was made w/ the Republican candidates in mind. I’m not sure I believe a sizeable portion of the electorate would blame a group of guys wholly removed from the administration for the economic woes (current and future). And, the Dem Party has ruled the roost in Congress for the past two years, have they not?
That’s just my opinion…I could be wrong.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:07 am
And, you can lead with Rachel Bilson every day of the week as far as I’m concerned!
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 am
TBL – why are you shorting Bernanke an “n” – is that part of the rate cut?
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:16 am
Bernake! Bernake!! He still owes me money.

Is it ridiculous to find Eli’s girl more attractive than Brady’s?

January 22nd, 2008 at 9:21 am
eli’s girl looks cross eyed
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:23 am
Eli’s girl isn’t a Victoria’s Secret model…but, yes, significantly more attractive than Brady’s butterfaced chick.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:26 am
Eli’s chick <<<<<<<<<< Brady’s chick.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:33 am
Nick P…Vrabel went to my HS as well as being a former Buckeye but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s one of the dirtiest players in the NFL and grade A, class 1 DOUCHEBAG.
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:44 am
Yum, Rachel Bilson. I’ve never felt so patriotic in my life.
Ben Bernanke’s “edgyness” > emo douchefuck Jaret Leto’s “edgyness”
January 22nd, 2008 at 9:50 am
Irish, Duel was only a week long show.
I would take Eli’s girl over butterface any day.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:00 am
TBL, yes on the Nantz thing. Heard Imus and Nantz on Friday and Nantz said he would work whatever phrase Imus gave him into the broadcast. And yup, sure enough he said, “one more cow”.
It is a reference to the Imus show being on RFD a channel that often shows cattle auctions. Craig Crawford, a guest on the show coined the phrase “one more cow” when according to him he couldn’t pull himself away from the cattle auctions. Whenever he would think it was time to do something else he would say, “just one more cow”.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:09 am
Well-played, Dan-tastic. If Bernanke gets the Aunt Jemima treatment today, we could be in for a long, hard slog.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:13 am
thank you cbh you h8r spence made me feel stupid already about that
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 am
spencer, how is a vrabel a douchebag and a dirty player? I agree with you about Harrison. The guy took HGH and continually late hits, pile jumps and gets stupid penalties called on him. You’d think after so many years in the league and as a supposed leader of the team, he’d knock that stuff off. Seymour has no track record of being dirty. Hardwick is just complaining because his team lost. He needs to get over it.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:33 am
Neo…tape doesn’t lie. seymour was dirty as hell LAST game. i have no idea about before that. there was one play where he clearly stepped on phillip rivers’ feet and then pushed him over.
as for vrabel…during the browns game this year, 11 seconds left and he’s diving at Joe Thomas’ knees for a spiked ball when the Pats were up 2 scores. yea, im sure that meaningless ‘fumble recovery’ is really worth jeopardizing the career of a rookie. vrabel makes himself look like a ‘hustle’ guy when really, hes just a punk like harrison giving late hits, facemask pulls and little shit that’s just uncalled for. if youre going to do that shit, fine, its part of the game, but don’t go up in front of the cameras and play the ‘good guy’ role.
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:48 am
I made out with twin sisters the only time I was in Louisville and on 4th street, so I’ll go with a thumbs up.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 am
I would argue with all this Rachael Bilson love. She’s the new Shannon Elizabeth (When Shannon Elizabeth was at her peak). I’ll be looking for either of them in No Country for Soft Men on cinemax in the near future.

@TBL – The Fed had to slash interest rates. The Futures markets over the weekend were getting murdered. YM Futures were down as much as 600 points. If the Fed would not have cut rates the markets would be in far worse condition. The issue now is, where are people going to place their monies? Everyone one is pulling out of the stock market and the yields on bonds are horrible because of the interest rate cuts. It is going to be an interesting next few months. To the individuals that shorted financials and the markets a few months back, well played!
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:42 am
that HILARIOUS linesman article would be funnier if they maybe tried get get therrien’s name right, i mean maybe they were going for michelle as comedy, which isnt funny, but they werent even close on the last name
and hes out six to eight weeks, which was released this morning, so good job on the month call
*thumbs up*
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:47 pm
People are saying that Hardwick is being a crybaby but why would he say that unless it was true? It’s not like Seymour dominated the game or anything like that. Of course, if you talk to someone right after a game you are getting quotes based on emotion not reason. There is no question that both Seymour and Vrabel hit Rivers in the legs and/or late in that game.
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:37 pm
The Just for Men commericals were always among the worst on TV. Adding Emmitt solidifies their position. Re-Jected.
January 22nd, 2008 at 2:26 pm
spencer – Seymour may have played dirty in pushing Rivers over, but I believe Rivers started bitching (again) at Seymour. You see, Phil, you can get away with that stuff when you yell at fans…small children…blind people…cats…but when you start talking shit to Seymour, he’ll personal foul you. I think the refs didn’t call it because they’re sick of Rivers whining this year.
Not to take anything away from Rivers being gutsy enough to play on a bad ACL. That took stones.
January 22nd, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Sully’s and 4th Street Live in general just suck. It is full of douchebags and the women who love them. TBL, please tell me you aren’t the kind of assclown that would frequent I place like that.
