The Roundup: Bloggies, Fighting, and the Korvers
Baseball, College Football, Drugs, NBA, NFL, Race, Random January 24th. 2008, 8:22am
By popular demand (three requests for somebody we’d never heard of definitely qualifies), Arielle Kebbel, a budding actress … blogger visits New York, takes two cool pictures … this website is probably dangerous and risky to look at during work hours, but where he finds these women on myspace, we’ll never know … so, are the X-games “real” sports worthy of TV coverage? … watch out for that mercury in your tuna sushi … Terrell Owens, photographed in a Dallas club apparently getting Paris Hilton’s digits … if Shaq can spend $22,000 a month on maid services, will that mean he’s going to double that up after the divorce is complete? …
Shameless: Somehow, we were nominated for a 2008 Bloggie as one of the five best sports blogs on the web. If you want to vote, cool; if not, oh well. Winner gets a whopping $20.07, and if that’s us, we’ll give it away (via paypal) to the first reader in Glendale who sends us a good photo from a Super Bowl party. (2008 Bloggies)

Thanks for the hottest girls of myspace page. I’ve got a Friday deadline on a project for the owner and there’s no way it’s getting done now. Of course I went and voted for ya, TBL. I’ll be expecting my cut of the prize money any time now!

I can’t believe I wasn’t nominated for best latin american weblog.

Yeah, the Woodsboro folk are the biggest crazies out there. They picketed UMD when I was there because our big freshman book was about that kid out west that was killed for being gay. (May sound bad, but I really just dont remember his name or the title of the book). I just remember them putting us on a level w/ Bin Laden…stay classy.

Can’t read the 1958 Buffalo thingy no linky.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:47 am
TBL got my my vote. Though I was torn between this site and “Up In Alaska”. Heads TBL, tails Up In Alaska…
WTF is with 4 out of the 5 political blogs being of the loony left variety?

@412
Get over it.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:54 am
@412 - because the loony rights spend their time doing constructive shit like driving the country into the ground.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:55 am
@e man
BOOM BITCH!

sorry, added the Buffalo link

Arielle Kebbel is a good looking girl. That’s all I have to say about that.
That Hottest Girls of MySpace blog should win every Bloggie - hands down.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:04 am
So, just like Joe Namath, if the Giants win the Super Bowl, will the “national” media start trying to convince the world that Eli Manning is one of the five greatest quarterbacks of all time? It’s interesting that this guy compared Eli Manning to the most overrated athlete in the history of professional sports–and that it was spot on.

eva longoria can suck a dick…
preferrably my dick. HI-YO.

That myspace thing reminded me that I need to pick up lotion on my way home from work today.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:09 am
@e man
And by BOOM BITCH! I mean well said.

TBL: Thanks for that. She’s the best. Girl next door hotness trumps
January 24th, 2008 at 9:18 am
sluttiness anyday of the week.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:27 am
I was thinking that was it but…with Boom Bitch you just never know.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:27 am
That MySpace shit is going to ruin my whole day…at least my productivity.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I just voted for TBL, but when I hit submit, the website kept telling me to revise my ballot… is there a conspiracy taking place?
January 24th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Is it just me, or is Eva Longoria just not as hot as she looks on tv?
January 24th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Ark - agreed
January 24th, 2008 at 9:48 am
You guys got my vote.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Nice bumpersticker rhetoric, Mr. Olbermann.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:15 am
@412
You cast the first stone there guy.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Politics are gay and should be pooped on.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:24 am
i like that i can has cheezburger is under the best topical blog.
god i hate that blog. what is so fucking topical about cats and on purpose typos? it’s neither the best, nor topical, and it’s barely a blog.

I love it when Howard has Shirley from “God Hates Fags” on the show, and then promptly rips her a new one. Those people are dangerous. Howard has even talked to the kids, and they are Jim Jones like in their answers.
January 24th, 2008 at 11:09 am
@Magglio - I didn’t really “cast a stone”, so much as I was making an observation. But, if the mainstream “Daily Kos” and “Crooks and Liars” is your thing, really…enjoy!
January 24th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I’m with you. Osi Umenyiora is with you.
January 24th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Haha, so is Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

You got my multiple votes, of course. Interesting that you are up against Deadspin, a chick, and two sites about cycling. Does writing about your personal bike rides really qualify you as being a “sports blog”? Sh*t, if I start a blog about my bowling games at the Port Authority, maybe I’ll be in the running next year?…
