Will she make you want to see Transformers again? … remember Christine Lakin? She was on Step by Step and at some point, decided to pose for FHM … don’t understand the subprime mortgage crisis, and why our country is facing economic peril (fine, maybe that’s too strong of a word, but whatever), then read this and laugh … since a church appears to be all for it, perhaps you can get random women you meet to play along: the 30-day sex challenge … Lindsay Lohan goes from nude magazine covers to backstage at WWE’s Monday Night Raw … well, it’s a good thing T-Mac didn’t make the All-Star team, because he would have had a decision to makeproud of our country! …

Is it me or the last column of Bill Simmons doesn’t suck, like let’s say all the others in the last 2 years? Maybe i’m just going crazy, but could it be because it’s not about the Patriots, Celtics or any other Boston team?

It’s nice to see the Purdue/Indiana Rivarly back where it needs to be. Kramer can handle Gordon just like he did to Neitzel (sp?). If White has under a 20/15 game Purdue wins…65/61.

Went and looked at houses yesterday and after telling them that we didn’t want to see anymore foreclosure houses, it cut the list of houses in half. I don’t know if anyone knows this, but foreclosure houses are mostly dumps. Apparently people who know their house is getting foreclosed, tend to not clean it anymore.

Good lord Megan fox looks hot there.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:25 am
I, too, am interested in this game. The Boilermakers have won 11 in a row, including at Wisky. Nearly beat MSU on the road. Still don’t think Purdue is getting national recognition, and a win here might do it.
Chad Austin, anyone?
February 19th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Chad Austin was good…but how bout Herb Dove, Matt Ten Dam, Cuonzo Martin, and Porter Roberts. HAHA the memories.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:35 am
All of my phone conversations end with the same conclusion as that subprime cartoon. Even when my grandma calls.

That Harry Carey clip made my morning.
“Jason…. ICE-ring-hawsen!”
February 19th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Somebody’s GOTTA have a clip of Harry trying to pronounce Chuck Knoblauch or Scott Stahoviak.

My first thought when I read that 30 day sex idea was about that week when “aunt flow” is around. Sorry, but I haven’t done that since I was 21 and I am still scarred about that.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:53 am
The good news is that after the next 5 years when the most of the blood has been shed the mortgage market will again be a great investment. I have about three products I can sell now…last year at this time I had 20.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:54 am
CH4OS…i agree.
February 19th, 2008 at 8:56 am
@CH4: Thought the column was a bit too gay early on but finished well. Much better than his Pats/C’s/Sox columns, though. Anytime he tries to put big emotional spins on things, it generally gets fake-y.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:02 am
@pki – Yeah, they do a number on the houses before they get foreclosed on. A friend’s dad cleans up the foreclosed houses here in Minnesota, and came across a house one time where the former owners took out the gas inserts and furnace. I was impressed.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:03 am
That’s “Caray” – not “Carey”…
February 19th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Norman Chad is hilarious. His humor reminds me of early, EARLY, Woody Allen stuff–most especially his book “Without Feathers.” Easily one of the funniest books ever written.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Steve Guttenberg and Adam Carolla on Dancing With the Stars. Well, on the positive side, they might finally do something that will make me laugh. Except I still won’t be watching.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Steve Guttenberg! Now that’s what I call star power!

Cue the StoneCutters song from ‘The Simpsons”
February 19th, 2008 at 9:29 am
VA – Be prepared … there are – unbelievably – Norman Chad haters all over the net. Some of them may pop up to tell you about it
February 19th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Hot chick + Norman Chad + Reference to the mortgage crisis + Reference to sex = solid round-up.
One issue though, the sex article is saying that the minister calls on his married parishioners to have sex every day for a month and for those that are single, dating, or engaged to abstain for a month. Fuck that.

Cue the StoneCutters song from ‘The Simpsonsâ€
“We live in a society of laws, why do you think I took you to see all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn’t hear anybody laughing! Did you? Except at that guy who made sound effects. Vroom! Beep! Honk! Honk! Ha-ha. Where was I? Oh yeah, stay out of my booze!”
“When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie Spaceballs. But instead it was dark and disturbing. Like that movie — Police Academy.”

Shannon Elizabeth is going to give up the professional poker circuit to be on Dancing With the Stars?? I’d call shenanigans except that it’s so unlikely that it must be true!
February 19th, 2008 at 9:43 am
I have better things to do than watch a dancing show to ogle hot chicks (I don’t), but if Shannon Elizabeth is on my television in a skimpy dancing outfit I am fully…attentive.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Very surreal. We’ve reached the point that the only thing that makes some celebrities a celebrity is that they appear on celebrity TV shows.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Craig Colquitt has the dominant Punter Gene, eh? Aside from him being an above average punter for the late 70s Steelers, the one thing I remember about him was that he had a manslaughter or homicide-by-vehicle conviction early on after a drinking and driving joy ride. And, yet…I can’t seem to find a damned thing about this on the internets. Perhaps I’m misremembering…
February 19th, 2008 at 9:47 am
The Chad joke about the “Bad Newz 8″ made me laugh out loud.
February 19th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Not a Norman Chad hater but don’t find him funny or interesting
February 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
More of a Lon McEachern guy.
FYI …. Al Lambert was always a diamond in the rough.
February 19th, 2008 at 10:07 am
Today’s roundup girl looks fucking crazy. I like it
February 19th, 2008 at 10:09 am
I will never forget the scene in Transformers where she is working on the car and they do a slow pan of her well defined body.
February 19th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Megan Fox always has the same look on her face. Nice ass though.
February 19th, 2008 at 11:15 am
If she were with me that same look would be her O face.
Hi yoooooooooooooooooo
February 19th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Megan Fox has got a little Angelina Jolie thing going on. Too bad I’ve got a little George Costanza thing going on.
Unrelated, has anyone seen Priscilla Presley lately? Plastic surgery has not been kind.

That Harry Caray clip was severely lacking.
How can you have a Harry Caray audio montage and not include Caray telling us what a player’s name is backwards?
“Steve, did you know that Sammy Sosa’s name backwards is ‘Asos’?”
February 19th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Harry Caray was an Uncle Tom! Steve Stone was a house slave!

Just an FYI – I work for a law firm that is handling some of these subprime related cases. I don’t know how many of your are interested, but you can check out our website at http://subprimelosses.com/

Transformers the movie almost single handidly destroyed my lifelong love affair with Transformers. However, it did start a lifelong love affair with that dirty slut in the picture. Gotta love a broad with a Monroe tat-on her forearm, no less….
