PM Roundup: Tim Riggins Signs a Movie Deal
Baseball, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, NBA, Pop Culture, Video February 20th. 2008, 2:20pm
It is Cheryl Cole this week at TBL.
Tim Riggins signed a three-picture movie deal. You just knew he was going to be a star. Spells doom for FNL, though. (Slash Film)
Eric Byrnes and his shaggin’ wagon. (AZ Central)
A-Rod is cool with his young daughters one day marrying a cheating choir boy like Andy Pettitte. (Celebrity Babies)
Like the concept and the idea, but the 10 we scrolled through don’t pop. Unless it’s ironic and we simply didn’t detect it. Wouldn’t be the first or last time that’s happened. (Stuff White People Like)
The people of Denver bought a lot of rubbers and other contraceptives recently, and the results is the No. 1 ranking on America’s Most Lustful Cities list. (Forbes)
Jim Bowden, GM of the Nationals, has a very cool toy. (Chatter)
Wanted to run this video of Zach Randolph and Nate Robinson nearly mixing it up last night, but the guys who uploaded it added stupid graphics. What’s comical is how no Knick players intervene. It’s as if this type of behavior is commonplace. (You Tube)
Upon closer inspection, Devin Harris doesn’t have great defensive stats against the top guards in the West. (Stop Mike Lupica)
Johnny Knoxville had, it appears, a pretty bad accident that left his pants very bloody. (Jackass World)
Social networking … for geeks. Whoever sent us this … how’d you know? (We are the Geeks)
Radio host asks: “Remember when … Dana Jacobson was remotely good-looking?” That’s harsh. (Czabe)
Our tax dollars are getting wasted? No way! (Reader’s Digest)

You never rally want to read “torn uretha” and piss bag even if it is Johnny Knoxville.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
No, I just think the rest of the Knicks hate Zach Randolph.

You mean to tell me you didn’t like the “RealestNiggas.com” graphics on that clip?

Reading these two one after the other left a jarring image in my head.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I glanced at the Stuff White People Like site and laughed multiple times. It’s brilliant. Much like the guy who bought this puppy with the single goal of having Cheryl Cole crouch down in front of him. Talk about real men of genius.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I didnt get anything on that whitepeoplelikestuff.com either.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
White people drive like this….and black people drive like this.
That thing was completely idiotic.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Cheryl Cole picture with dog nice.
Hyping up that white people site so I actually looked at it, not nice.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Can it be Cheryl Cole every week!?
I think, I think I love her!
February 20th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I’m sorry, but I am tremendously enjoying that site.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
It is Cheryl Cole this week at TBL.
does that mean she is at TBL headquarters?
February 20th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Stuff White People Like – Egg salad sandwiches. White people like egg salad sa….zzzzzzzzz. Blah, didn’t do much for me. To each his own.
A torn urethra sounds rather painful. The price you pay for being a jackass.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I’m looking at you, Black Mamba.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
When has a Segway ever been considered a cool toy? To steal from the prior post… Segway’s are for douches.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
blaring from a boom box behind Bowden’s shoulder is Europe’s The Final Countdown
February 20th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
How is Pittsburgh not on the lustful cities list? I’ve heard our senior citizens like to knock boots all the time.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Hey, can someone give me the synopsis on Johnny Knoxville’s injury? I can’t open that site at work, and I keep seeing reference to a torn uretha (OWWW), but I’m wondering if he will have to pee in a bag for the rest of his life?
February 20th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I’m all about WAG’s, but Cole again?? How about some variety with the WAGs…
Abigail Clancy
February 20th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
That white people site is funny although I did notice a trend. I think it should be called, “stuff hippster white people like”.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
sportsgal -
He’s on the 15 day DL with a urethra.
February 20th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
cole has her beat by the looks of it wall4life. have you seen CRM’s picture of Gemma Atkinson
CRM-link please
February 20th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
you know who’s a douche? that jackbag Cheryl Cole’s going to divorce.
wow, she’s smokin’
February 20th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I think the stuff white people like is an experiment of turning familiarity on its head. It’s sort of like saying “all black people are like this” or “all chinese people are like that.” It seems that most suburban white kids think that MTV and BET are accurate depictions of black culture. I would say that they aren’t any more accurate than “stuffwhitepeoplelike.com”
February 20th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
if i learned one thing from my pot, um, exchanging days it’s that both white and black (and others) like pot.
everything else is fluff.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Here you go irish
February 20th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Having said all that, “#20: Being an expert on YOUR culture” is downright hilarious.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Is Mrs. TBL aware of the Cheryl Cole infatuation?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
@pki: It could also be called, “stuff college educated white people like.”
February 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Irish, you’re going to have to learn how to use the handy archive system.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
jason that goes to nothing but i appreciate it
this will do
February 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
@hef: My favorite one was Microbews. That one cracked me up because most white people like crap beer like Miller Lite or Budweiser.
No offense to all of you who like that crap.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Czabe is absolute gold.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
CRM thank you my fellow fan of Gemma. i can never figure the link shit out.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
How is Pittsburgh not on the lustful cities list?
Yeah, haven’t you ever seen the show Queer as Folk ?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I’ll have you know Miller Lite won the World Beer Cup!
\Miller Lite Fan
I’ll also have you know that Pabst Blue Ribbon was named best beer in 1886
\Me as a poor college student justifying drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon

February 20th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
@chb49er – poor grad students drink PBR too
February 20th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Most White People like Miller Light? Where do you live pki? See how ridiculous generalizations are?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
@ CBH and CORM
even asshole commenters from Philly love PBR.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
@CRM once you graduate from grad school you move onto microbrews. It’s a glorious transformation.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Gemma > Cheryl
February 20th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
im totally guilty on the microbrew thing. only beer i drink is from Great Lakes Brewery…Christmas Ale and Dortmunder Gold are the two best beers you can get on the realtive cheap. people from the Cleveland area know this.
as for cheap beer…Labatts is the one and only choice.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I wish you guys could tell that to my friends in VA, I was mocked incessantly for my love of Pabst, slightly less so for my love of 40’s of Hurricane.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Has anyone ever had Hams? Horrible horrible beer.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
spencer – Eliot Ness Amber Lager is an awesome beer as well.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
King Cobra
30 PBRs for 10 bucks in CP…unbeatable
February 20th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Microbrews are delicious. Just like organic food and bike rides. Also Sarah Silverman is hilarious, especially when you’re the only white person in the room.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
By doing very, very little research, its obvious that the author of stufwhitepeoplelike was talking about himself. Also, I thought it was kinda funny, and realized that around 2/3 applied to me.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
412…true story. youre from Pit right? a lot of Great Lakes beer down there?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
hurricane 40’s were great, i used to drink those at college in dc…
February 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
#33 Marajuana
Especially that wacky White duo of Snoop and Dr. Dre.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
@Dan: Same with me. I’d say we should hang out, but then we wouldn’t be the only white person around.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
oh come on, he has expensive sandwiches on there? i challenge you to find ANYONE of any race who doesnt love them a nice fuckin sandwich.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
spencer – The better bars and beer distributors have Great Lakes here.
Penn Pilsner is the last good local brew in Pgh. And, Boston Beer Co uses the old Rolling Rock facilities to brew Sam Adams.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Expensive sandwiches like this: ?
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen many African Americans at Zingerman’s during my visits.
Hmmm…
February 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
ive had penn pilsner, good stuff.
ive also had iron city and nearly licked a sidewalk to get the taste out of my mouth.
to be honest, it doesnt matter where its from, Great Lakes should be the official beer of the whole region.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Spencer – you can get Great Lakes at a few bars in PGH. It’s definitely not in everyone though.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Re: Tim Riggins… I’m not ready to assume this equates to the end of FNL. I think he just wanted to continue getting a steady paycheck through the summer. I’d guess they film movie #1 this spring/summer and go into post-production summer/fall. For all we know, there might be a clause in the contract allowing for filming of FNL allowing him to film episodes, scenes. I would imagine Riggins has a contract for his role on FNL? Besides, Riggins skips school on Wednesdays so maybe they can leave him out of some episodes.
Don’t give up so quickly TBL!
February 20th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Roeth – Ever go here? Outstanding beer selection. Mad Mex is also good for a couple hundred (?) or so micros.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
On “Stuff White People Like,” how was blogging not one of them?
February 20th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
412 – Oh yeah, I can found at Fatheads from time to time. I thought of that place when I read white people (like me) like expensive sandwiches.
I also just made my first visit to Sharp’s Edge Creekhouse in Crafton. Very good beer selection from all over the world.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
@Spencer – Christmas Ale might be the best tasting beer I have ever had. It also, without a doubt, gives the worst hangovers in the world.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Miller High Life is the best beer around, especially for the price. I live in DC, grew up in PGH, have had tons of micro and macrobrews, so its not a function of living in a place with limited selection, and you can’t beat the High Life (but in Pittsburgh I gotta have my IC Light).
Case closed.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I like it when I’m in a bar and some douche orders a $7 microbrew that looks like raw sewage, then proceeds to inspect it like he’s some beer judge.
Give me a big pitcher of whatever the happy hour special and a plate of your hottest wings, pronto!
February 20th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Hamms- Yes
@heff: I live in DC now but originally from MN
Best beer comes from the small breweries in Colorado. Fat Tire is awesome
February 20th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Oh and ICB is some shitty beer. I don’t understand the Pittsburgh love for that shit.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
white people do love Mos Def, he is the only rapper that my (white) friends who dont like rap like
February 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
I love it when comedians (and in this case websites) make racially satirizing jokes but sometimes they make other races appear ignorant as hell. I mean, since when is quality education (private schools), taking care of the environment (the priuses post), and eating good, healthy food a BAD thing? Its like when bad comedians try to imitate a white person speaking and they come off articulate… you’re making fun of that? Really, what you’re doing is making you (or whatever race your comparing white ppl to) appear dumb.
February 20th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Tim Riggins as gambit makes perfect sense…Gambit is a pimp!! Also it is time for him to get away from FNL, soon enough it will be like 90210 when eveyrone is 35 and still in high school
February 20th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I so hope FNL somehow makes it to a third season. But, I could see Riggins having a nice career regardless. And, Minka Kelly will continue to star in my fantasies.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
ICB is putrid stuff. I don’t know anybody who still drinks that shit.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
pki, Fat Tire is bangin
February 20th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
fat tire is good.
imports are another story. that might push the comments past 200.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
On a slow sports day, we can always talk beer and WAGs.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
in that case…its pretty common here, but paulaner hefeweizen with a lemon is unbelievably delicious. hate the citrus if you must, but it really gives it an awesome aftertaste.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
WAGs…eh, they all look the same to me. lingerie model, blah blah. id kill for a broad half that hot.
i love the comments like, “shes probably stupid as hell and id hate her.” you think chicks like that are good for anything other than being a bonerholster? we’re not talking marriage here, just a spirited bout of bangin.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Okay, I’m outta here for the afternoon. And, spencer gets my star of th day for introducing the phrase “bonerholster”. Good work.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Agreed. +1 spence.
February 20th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Just for some fun… Top 5 beers:
Tommyknocker Maple nut brown (Colorado-Micro)
Guiness
Deschutes Pale Ale (Oregon)
Sierra Nevada Christmas (CA)
Warsteiner Dünkel
Not that there aren’t other great one’s out there, those are my favorite
February 20th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
There’s Guinness, and then there is the rest as far as I’m concerned. Light beers aren’t beer, but just a cheep alcohol delivering agent. Beer has actual taste.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
eh, not a guinness fan. that or sierra nevada.
light beers are blah. if theres absolutely nothing else, i might go with a miller lite or an amstel light IF IT’S A LAST RESORT. other than that…meh, id rather just not drink.
beer is like weed…it’s gotta be good otherwise no thanks.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Anyone had Goose Island’s 312? Good stuff, definitely one of my favorites. Also love me some Fat Tire although it gets me drunk in about a beer and a half.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
never tried it…it’s on the list tho.
my sister brought some beer back from denmark…can’t remember the name, but its some seriously great shit.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Budweiser = king of beers.
Regular Amstel is quality as well, although I have never seen it anywhere but in Amsterdam.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I became addicted to Guiness when I went to Dublin. mmm just thinking of the trip makes me warm and fuzzy.
You were right earlier about the paulaner hefeweisen too spence, perfect for those hot summer days.
February 20th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I must be the only black man that likes Zingerman’s, Newcastle & Stella Artois. No, I don’t have any Tommy Amaker sweaters.
February 20th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Anyone ever had Golden Monkey from Victory Brewing ?
shitfaced in 2 beers.
February 20th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
@Rick James, I’ve never had zingerman’s, but newcastle and stella artois are great.
February 20th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
speaking of getting shitfaced quick…its a ‘cheap’ one, but i love it. molson XXX. if im buying beer from a gas station and theyre outta great lakes, its all XXX.
February 20th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Guinness!!!!! Try a black velvet..half guinness and half champaign..good stuff!
February 20th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
that sounds like a nasty hangover. champagne plus anything spells bad news for me.
unless its champagne and cocaine…breakfast of champions.
February 20th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
@spencer:
Any thoughts on Steel Reserve? That used to be the worse tasting but full of alcohol content beer out there (9.5%, but many beers are now stronger than that).
@Hef:
Zingerman’s sandwiches (especially the corned beef) are pretty tasty. I wish I had a bottle of Newcastle or Stella instead of Budweiser tonight (the price is right, though – 24 oz for 99 cents).
February 20th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
yea, this gas station i went to used to have 40’s of it. tasted like ass, but after edward-40hands id be too drunk to take my pants off to pee.
i miss college.
February 20th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
My college roommate bet me $100 I couldn’t drink 4 40s of Steel Reserve in an hour and a half. I won the $100, and don’t remember much about the rest of that night.
February 20th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
ugh…that sounds terrible.
i had a buddy in texas who was a ‘pro’ rollerblader or some shit like that. he couldn’t have weighed more than 110 lbs. he seriously looked like a child. anyways, he knocked down 4 40’s of Mickey’s in about 2 hours without taking a piss. that was the most impressive drinking feat i ever saw.
but 4 40’s of steel reserve? that’s just madness.
