Sophia Bush (a personal favorite) or Mandy Moore? … Super Tuesday is here! Make sure to vote, people … which candidates have benefited most from lobbyist money? … in addition to a parade and voting, it is Fat Tuesday, which is a splendid reason to drink … Jeter, off the hook with feds regarding that income tax issue …

I’m sorry but Sophia Bush looks like she’s 12 or somnething. Mandy Moore destroys her.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Mandy Moore
February 5th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Sophia Bush in a walk away.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:25 am
@412, what? no Spandau Ballet or Fine Young Cannibals videos today?
Mandy Moore is yummy.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Supposedly Penn State and Oregon are still finalists (in addition to OSU and UM) for Smash. I haven’t read anything locally indicating a preference as of yet
February 5th, 2008 at 8:26 am
IUgrad – One time deal. I don’t want to get all of the commenters fired!
February 5th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Yeah all of this half assed TP talk is completely biased anyway. Oh he is going to osu, why? Because his coach says that? Lame. How about we wait about 29 hours to make our call.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Who pays better, OSU or Michigan?
February 5th, 2008 at 8:34 am
It would appear that while PSU is a darkhorse (though unlikely) that Oregon is out. Beyond that, I don’t think anyone knows.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Mandy Moore destroys Bush in that picture [Hef giggles to himself]. And I still haven’t seen a solid (not even amazing, I’m saying decent/solid) picture of Sophia Bush. Is she a girl that you have to see moving? Does the camera steal her soul (and looks)?
February 5th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I’m not touching the OSU/UM debate. I think both schools have hefty recruiting slush funds!
February 5th, 2008 at 8:35 am
TBL–you’ve got to get better photos of Sophia Bush…I agree that she’s crazy hot, but the last few you’ve put up have been bad.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:36 am
@ATLsportsfan – he’s just trying to keep her to himself.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Someone needs to tell TiricoSuave that Dusty Baker manages the Reds.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Pgh Post-Gazette reported this morning Pryor is 80% sure he’ll make a decision and the 3 finalists are OSU, U of M and PSU. Oregon is out.
My delegate vote goes to Mandy
February 5th, 2008 at 8:44 am
I might create a stock car fantasy team just to keep my Uber status high.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:45 am
even though i do not like TBL taste of women, i would have to go with Sophia Bush on this one. That 11 year old looks like he could be good one day. Looks like a little Carmelo.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:47 am
@TBL: Of course tOSU pays better. How could you make us choose between those two girls? Gun to my head…Mandy
February 5th, 2008 at 8:47 am
mandy moore in a laugher.
sophia bush looks 12, and don’t give me that bullshit about her being next-door-hot. pre-teen just doesn’t do it for me.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Jill Wagner crushes both of them.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Here’s the thing on the Seattle PI/Times fight. I lived in Seattle for 4 years and they have the two worst sports pages I have ever read. Neither is worth taking a crap on. This argument then, is ridiculous. It’s like arguing over who’s the hottest skank in Tennessee.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:52 am
tyra colette
February 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I even did a Google image search of Sophia Bush… and she still looks prepubescent most of the time. No thanks.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
only/last TP thing i mention today: collegefootballtalk.com says UM believes they are going to land him.
at this point, nobody knows anything. tomorrow is the day this bullshit will finally be over.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:54 am
@spence: He can drag this out further. He doesn’t have to sign tomorrow, if he doesn’t want to, as long as the schools still leave the scholarship on the table (which all of them will).
February 5th, 2008 at 8:54 am
The first and only other times I’ve heard of this Sophia Bush girl is on this website. Mandy Moore. Good lord. It’s not even close.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:56 am
@spencer096
I totally agree. All of this crap about TP is just people talking. Nobody knows except himself and possibly his live in God parent, maybe Batch… all of whom are smart enough not to say. Until he actually announces, I am sick of the whole debate.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:56 am
A buddy of mine is in London this week and says that you can bet on who will win the nominations for the Democrats and Republicans.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am
I love college football, but recruiting talk is mind numbing. Remember Xavier Lee, he was the T Pryor a few years ago and look where he’s at. These recruiting class ranking/services are all garbage.
February 5th, 2008 at 8:59 am
TP is loving the spotlight thats for sure…its like every day there are 10 more articles saying he is choosing school A and others saying B
what time does he announce tomorrow?
February 5th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Can’t you bet on pretty much anything in London?
February 5th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Yeah back when I was in undergrad my buddy actually had a gambling account in London where he said he found a betting loophole. He would bet on soccer final scores of 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 and he would always end up winning, but then again he used to drink 40’s of Mickeys and roll his own cigarettes so what did he know?
February 5th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Thats basically Mandy Moore at her best and Sophia at her worst…check the Hitcher remake (okay flick). She is better when she is moving, something about still shots that doesnt bring out the best in her.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:08 am
You can use websites (umm…if gambling is your thing) like sportsbook and such to bet random stuff like the presidential noms/american idol, etc. and get decent odds.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:09 am
@Coop–agreed. I always bring up the example of Jasper Sanks. Don’t waste your time thinking…you’ve never heard of him. That’s my point. He was a Parade All-American, supposedly one of the best RBs in the nation 10-12 years ago. Never amounted to shit and failed out of UGA. This recruiting stuff is such a crapshoot.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Jerry Reese is happy the Giants won and obviously uses an alias to combat his sudden fame.
Also, fantasy stock car has been going on for a while.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:23 am
atlanta – True, recruiting is often a total crapshoot. However, several people in this part of the state (i.e., Western PA, home of numerous pro football hall of famers) who have been watching/scouting for decades have said TP is as can’t miss as it gets.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Mandy Moore in a rout.
I feel for the Nevada high school kid. Similar thing happened to me when Jessica Simpson called and asked me out on a date, then later denied it after I followed her around for three months. It just sucked.
And tOSU pays better now that Ed Martin has passed…
February 5th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Mandy Moore >>> Sophia Bush
February 5th, 2008 at 9:46 am
They’re both pretty nice, but your pics of Sophia Bush don’t do her justice. Here, I took 2 seconds and found a web site with better pics.
http://www.celebritywonder.com/picture/Sophia_Bush/
February 5th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I love that this site has daily arguments as to the merits of Sophia Bush. Where else do you get that?
February 5th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Sophia Bush > Mandy Mandy
Sophia Bush throwing food at me, not in a nice way > Mandy Moore
February 5th, 2008 at 9:52 am
enough of today’s arguing about sophia bush. lets get to the daily argument about who the NBA MVP is.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:52 am
There’s something about Mandy Moore that works for me, she at least seems attainable.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:53 am
TBL…you had food thrown at you by Sophia Bush? what kind of food? was it a corned beef sandwich? cuz that’d be funny…and tasty. im hungry.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:56 am
the MVP sure as hell isnt Lebron
February 5th, 2008 at 9:58 am
oh yea? well dwight howard can suck a dick.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:58 am
You amaze and confuse
February 5th, 2008 at 9:59 am
hey now. none of that spencer. dwight howard collecting the most hardware this year.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:00 am
So who knew that TBL had a food fetish?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Spain’s racism has nothing on the good ol’ US of A.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:01 am
I can’t wait for ballin. TBL will probably mention how much inspiration was drawn from the Knicks 9 point loss to the upstart Clippers.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:01 am
irish…i know, i was just being an ass to entertain myself.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:02 am
@irish: What’s the general consensus of Magic fans towards Rashard. Do you hate him yet? Not trying to be an ass, j/w.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:02 am
SvP…NASCAR fans? racist? no way a social class that diverse and well-educated could ever be close-minded like that. no way in hell.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:04 am
nick- i think he is a smooth player that is not living up to his contract. He is good, but not consistent. I wish i could comment on behalf of the other Magic Fans on here, but i think i am the only one. Dwight howard for MVP
February 5th, 2008 at 10:04 am
SVPS – I was hoping for a link to Sarah Spain
February 5th, 2008 at 10:08 am
That chick is so hot, Mexico. I’d do stuff to her. Sex stuff.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Where’d you find HER?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:11 am
KSK from last year’s Super Bowl.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Or MySpace…
February 5th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Yeah who the hell is this chick?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:18 am
great…15 mins of fame chick with big boobs.
now for a more important question…what kind of food did sophia bush throw angrily at TBL?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Both of them! At the same time!
February 5th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Bears fan who used the web to get to the Super Bowl last year
February 5th, 2008 at 10:26 am
There is nothing more annoying to me than a hot chick telling everyone how hot she is.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Oh god, PLEASE don’t start this shit with Sarah Spain again! That chick is like 5′10 and is the size of a linebacker. Not to mention she’s a jinx.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:33 am
When will Drake and Butler be called out for the frauds that they are? Hopefully before the tournament, but I have a feeling it won’t. Then both of these over-rated teams will get high seeds (probably a #3 or #4) and play some crappy team in the first round only to get blown out in the second round. What realy pisses me off is that one of them will probably get sent to Little Rock for the first and second rounds, and I will be stuck watching them instead of the Razorbacks, who will undoubtedly get sent off somewhere else, somewhere else that I don’t have tickets for that is. I hate mid-majors and the media’s love affair with them.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:34 am
So, is this what it’s going to look like between now and March Madeness? Random nickels and Tony/Jessica updates?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:34 am
@sportsgal – I agree she’s OVER – just answering questions for the uninformed.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:39 am
@ ark, Mid Major fans are people too.
\George Mason University Graduate, Final Four 06′
Coincidentally I think Drake and Butler are set to play each other in the BracketBusters.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:41 am
cbh…ready for GMU to get beat by Ohio tonight?
February 5th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I am not ready for it tonight but might be on my birthday, Feb. 23.
Should be a good game, I know dick about Ohio but took a look at them yesterday after it was announced, that would be a quality road win for us if we can get it.
February 5th, 2008 at 10:59 am
yea, im just talking shit for no reason. my sister and a bunch of friends go/went to OU, which is the only reason i brought it up.
i have no idea how good/bad they are.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:00 am
I agree, but George Mason was also a #10 or #11 seed weren’t they? I’m down with midmajors being in the tournament, it’s the whole overseeding that kind of gets me.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:00 am
spencer – You remind me of a guy I used to work with who was also a Cleveland fan. That guy would talk shit about anything!
February 5th, 2008 at 11:01 am
an #11, I get your point on mid majors being seeded too high.
February 5th, 2008 at 11:03 am
412…it also doesn’t help that im half sicilian and am going to go to law school. arguing is in my blood.
February 5th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Mandy
February 5th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Sophia Bush
Chris Paul for MVP
February 5th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
I’m going to have to switch over to CRM’s blog. TBL has the worst taste in women (and movies). Sorry TBL, I’m only being honest because I have such strong feelings about you.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
While I prefer Mandy Moore, I’m not going to call Sophia Bush bad taste in women.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Et tu, crm?
February 5th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Mandy Moore and its not close. Sophia is cute, but she’s not even the hottest chick on her show (Bethany Joy Galeotti)
