Gemma Atkinson for two reasons TBL
February 18th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Damn…that is a nasty tat. Begs the question: why?
February 18th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
atkinson is just some random, right? or is she with some soccer playeR?
February 18th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Could Leitch have made the title of his book any longer?
February 18th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Nasty thigh tat -1.
That would be why.

February 18th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Supposedly she is dating some soccer player named Marcus Bent, so she qualifies.

TBL- she pretty much started off the WAG thing besides Becks girl you know.

Floyd Mayweahter was there because he is going to be a part of WrestleMania XXIV, he is either going to fight the Big Show in a boxing match or he is teaming up with Rey Mysterio to take on the Big Show and a partner.
February 18th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
TBL great work on posting beautiful babies today.
February 18th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I think we all know what it means and just question the usage of that to describe being a fan of anything, if you’re male, and straight.

another vote for cole!
February 18th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Do you think Phil has ever tried to titty fuck himself?
February 18th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Guys, with WAG links let’s make them full body. Everybody likes a pretty face, but come on… it’s a slow Monday without some Godzilla biscuits.

Leitch: I have never considered Deadspin a competitive venture, which is probably why I’m an outcast at Gawker [Media]. I’ve never been like, “It looks like The Big Lead is getting a lot of hits. I have to beat them.” Life is too short. I just want to do an entertaining site. I don’t want it to get too repetitive. I want the site to still be good. The idea that other sites are coming after my terrain, hey, that’s great, man. There is already so many more options for sports fans to get be able to get different perspective then there were three years ago., The more, the merrier.
Nice mention in the SI article.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
anyone who thinks cole and her epic trashy tattoo is hotter than this needs to turn in their penis at the door
February 18th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Hottest WAG ever…
Adriana Karembeu
February 18th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
woooo she is hot wall4life
February 18th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Karembeu retired three years ago, doesnt count imo
February 18th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Wow…you can really pull that kind of tail from playing that boring fucking sport!?!
February 18th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Pettitte about to speak …
February 18th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I will be shocked if he says anything newsworthy.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Way to step up your games, The412/wall4life
February 18th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
What does WAG mean ?
February 18th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
CRM- tbl was questioning Gemma Atkinson. where is that pic you posted on the weekends of her?
February 18th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Wives and Girlfriends
February 18th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
@irish - Here is the evidence you require
February 18th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
@moleman - Never heard of Sylie before. Thank you for introducing me to her. WOW!
February 18th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
im a jackass and spelled her name wrong, its sylvie. you know, for google image searching purposes its important ….
February 18th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Sylvie rules.
I sent TBL a link from the Bundesliga site about Sylvie and her husband, so I am taking partial credit.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
@irish - Here is the evidence you require
The jury will now be sequestered to fully review the extensive evidence.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
CRM you need to forward that to TBL. he didnt know who she was
thanks though for that pic again
February 18th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
@Glass Yard Dog: her husband is probably the best player in germany not named klose. both him and kompany have to get out of there though
February 18th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Does this mean that TBL is also on TJ Ford’s stick?
February 18th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Unless Mo Williams enters the discussion.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
TBL - Do you see a pronounced spike in hits after a mention in a national publication (e.g., the Leich article in SI)?
I may be misremembering, but I believe I first heard of the site after Schrutebag debacled you, but didn’t really become a regular until after Simmons mentioned TBL in an SI interview a couple years back.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Well the advantage of Mo’s stick is that it’s less likely to break in half than TJ’s.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
That joke hurt TJ Ford - not because he’s sensitive, but because he’s injury prone.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Has The Maj ever made a relevant, positive comment in the history of this site?
Don’t you have another episode of The Blog Show to film or something. Nice sweatshirt, by the way.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
412 - the cowherd thing was pretty overblown. to recap: for over the first year of the blog, we did it on the cheap because it was a hobby. so we had a rinky dink server in romania where we shared space. it could handle some hits, but not a sudden surge.
so when he said it, a surge of people flooded the site, and knocked us off line. it’s really no different than when we would get a link from SI or Yahoo or whatever. Once, bill simmons mentioned us in a chat, we had a shitload of readers, and the site went offline for a minute.
but this one with Cowherd was the last straw … once the server blew up, the romanians had had enough, so we needed to find a new spot.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Romania is famous for both its gymnasts and lack of bandwidth.
February 18th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
And you don’t f- with angry Romanians.

Rhoden: The “campus is divided” on Kelvin Sampson
Real Meaning: An Afro-American Studies professor and a handful of black people don’t want him fired because he’s black.
Only in America
By the way, Dick Vitale screamed at everybody who was listening that John Brady was screwed over by LSU and LSU was classless for firing him now (2 days after he threw Les Miles under the bus, by the way). But The General, Robert Montgomery Knight can do anything he wants, including screwing over the players that he preached loyalty and discipline to.
February 18th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Nice sweatshirt, by the way.
I’ve been told.
February 18th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
HOLY SHIT HES NOT BLACK HES LUMBEE INDIAN

February 18th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

February 18th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
