Because sometimes, that damn Full House theme song gets stuck in your head and life begins to suck. Anyone seeing Semi-Pro this weekend?

thats a great quote by dungy, even pats fans have to chuckle at that.
plus they can come back with, “but when you play with the colts, for some reason the volume on my tv is MUCH louder.”
February 27th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
I think Lozo is going to see Semi-Pro.
February 27th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
The Big Ten network does blow. I have it because of satellite, but it’s ridiculous that people have to go to a bar to watch their favorite team play. No one gives a shit about watching half the stuff they show on there. The only other time I’ve watched it when State isn’t playing was the other night when Indiana almost got upset by NW.
February 27th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
thats that Lori lady from Full house. Damn, sign me up
February 27th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Spartan…i totally agree. when i cant watch OSU VS. WISCONSIN in football, something is seriously wrong. its not like its OSU vs. Kent State or something, its a rivalry game that a large portion of the fan base can’t see just so the conference can line their already full pockets.
you use it a handful of times and the rest of the programming is ruined by sports/schools you could care less about.
February 27th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Lori Loughlin is a nice recovery from the mess (i.e., Jim Belushi with breasts) that was featured in this morning’s round-up.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Fuck Dungy…it is a funny quote though.
Could have included video of the sick dunk Turiaf had last night as well TBL. So sooth his ego and all.

Lori Loughlin is a nice recovery from the mess (i.e., Jim Belushi with breasts and penis) that was featured in this morning’s round-up.

I will seeing Semi-Pro on Sat – g/f is a big Will Ferrell fan.
This Big Ten/Comcast crap is getting old. Thankfully PSU football road games are typically on major networks (I’m at the home games), and our hoops squad sucks so bad that I can only watch the 1 or 2 games a year on ESPN anyway without getting pissed off.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Damn. The Post-Gazette AND Trib in the roundup. Just so TBL doesn’t come off as too liberal in the Burgh
February 27th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Will Ferrel movies have become a recipe where you just change the sport or theme and churn out the same movie. He’ll be half naked. He’ll say non-sequitur things. It will be stupid. It’s the same joke for 4 movies in a row now. I learned my lesson with Blades of Glory.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Siena Miller doesn’t understand what the big deal is.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
No need to go to WV for those extras, they can keep it in PA by going to Fayette County
February 27th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Man you guys are too funny. I mean…..
/arm motions ‘cut it out’
February 27th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I actually thought Ferrell’s spot in “Wedding Crashers” was better than most of his movies. His best stuff is on funnyordie.com.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
he comes off as lazy to me. he does things on funnyordie that are hilarious. but all his movies revert back to the Will Ferrel formula. Loud non-sensical talking, brief nudity and goofy facial hair. not funny anymore.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I enjoy Will Ferrell’s movies and nothing will change that.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
@the412 – Yea I actually had a discussion with a buddy on his spot in wedding crashers as being one of his funnier movies. We came to the conclusion that less is more with Will Ferrell. So if Semi-Pro is 80 minutes long we should all be in for a treat
February 27th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Mom, can we get some meatloaf!?!
February 27th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
@TBL – Mike Rowe is the host of Dirty Jobs of the Discovery Channel. Picture a smart-ass bing filmed while sucking out a septic tank, and you have an idea.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
TBL,
You may not have ever heard of Mike Rowe, but you’ve damn sure seen him or heard his voice before. He hosts Dirty Jobs, does the voice over work for Deadliest Catch (crab fisherman show on Discovery) and all of the voice over work for Ford trucks:
“Sure, you may never have to tow a B-52…but at least you know you can stop one”
February 27th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I think the Wedding Crashers scenes were hilarious. i laugh but i just feel he always plays the same character(no secret here) and it gets old. but they do make me laugh usually.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
What is she doing back there? I never know what shes doing
February 27th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
@hawkeye
good description of Rowe. Dirty Jobs is a cool show, but Deadliest Catch is the shit.
Lori Laughlin is one of my ATF’s
February 27th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
big ten network guys…think since the NFL and comcast reached a deal the Big 10 network is soon to follow suit?
February 27th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Going to wait to hear what the word of mouth is on Semi Pro, probably can wait for video.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Okay at least for me the cat video was hysterical, mainly because I have a cat. Plus, there are CRAZY people out there who would actually pay 24.95 for a bag. Oh, and as far as volume on a video game, if you play the seahawks keep the volume way low for their piped in crowd noise..
February 27th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
God doesn’t make em better than Tony Dungy. What a great, wonderful, trustworthy, Christian, caring, beautiful human being(just ask him).
February 27th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I will also say that Ferrel’s bit in Wedding Crashers is great. J BONE.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
gunnessgirl…but if you keep the volume low, you can’t hear shaun alexander crying and that’s the best part.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Kudos to you 412 on your Will Ferrell synopsis.
Funny or Die is the bomb. this is one of my favorites on there. I watch it any chance I get.
NSFW Please lower the volume, extremely NSFW for dirty lyrics. no nudity. NSFW

Cue laughtrack like it is the funniest joke in the history of mankind.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
“A couple of weeks ago I was riding my bicycle past the cemetery…”
“Mom! The meatloaf! Fuck!”
February 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
I agree all Will Farrell movies are the same the key is the right cast…Anchorman is awesome because Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are great…Christina Applegate continues her under the rader comedy career as a hot chick, the guy who plays Champ (don’t feel like looking it up) puts up his greatest performance and ancillary guys like Fred Willard, Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson are funny and then holy shit that’s Tim Robbins appearance…Blades of Glory was just like that except the exact opposite.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Everybody see this story about the loving wife of a NYPD cop who admitted on national TV that she banged other guys and wished she was married to someone else? Yeah…
February 27th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
roman…i agree.
its kind of similar to Seinfeld. it was one of the best shows ever, not because of jerry, who had his great moments, but was kinda milquetoast, but because of george, kramer, elaine and the rest of the regulars.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Seinfeld had a phenomenal ensemble and superb writing (until it all went to shit after Larry David left).
February 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
f*** the NFL network anf **** the BTN. Neither is on cable here in Wisconsin. And the BTN is indeed a joke. I go to a bar to watch Wisconsin-Minnesota hockey and they preempty the frickin’ 2nd period for the Indiana newsconference. Think about it…would any Indian bouncyball fan be watching WI-MN hockey or would any WI/MN hockey fan give a flying **** about Indy bouncyball? Hell no.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
@The412 – I watched that. It was AMAZING. I was so amused.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
@412 – Yea I actually caught that on TV the other night. Was pretty fucked up. Glad the bitch lost on the very next question which was “Do you think you are a good person?”
February 27th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
That episode has protected status on the TiVo…unreal stuff. When the sister hit the button on the boyfriend question we started going nuts.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
awesome…today has kicked ass for funny quotes.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
That show is tremendous…it really is. There isn’t a single person to like
February 27th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I would probably be fucked if I went on that show with my girlfriend, haven’t cheated but definitely some things I’d rather she not know.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
I just cheated in my head with Lori Loughlin.
February 27th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Gosh, Mike Rowe really looks like a young Nick Saban in that video.
BTW, Dirty Jobs is a pretty good show and Deadliest Catch is the s#!$!!!
February 27th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
truth’d
February 27th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Lest not forget Mike Rowe was the original voice for American Choppers way before he got his own shows and apparently was a QVC Star as well
February 27th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
that’s the point, cbh. normal people have little secrets that they don’t want there loved ones to know about. fucking morons that go on the show think for some reason its not a big deal to announce on national tv that they wished they were married to someone else, and they’re too stupid to actually walk away with cash.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Mike Rowe is a pretty funny dude for the stuff that he does. And a Maryland guy to boot! So we’ve got him, Stacy Keibler, Cal, and… That’s about it.
That story about the NY cop and his whore wife is wild. I imagine that dude is having a rough week at the station.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Lori Loughlin was (and remains) the hotness.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I’d rather bang the one from full house that was addicted to crystal meth. She’d be a freak in the sack.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
412: i just read that article. effin amazing. I have yet to tune into that show, but I surely will next time it’s on.
By the way, doesn’t it look like she is out of his league? she should have a boyfriend that would be on Hot Chicks With Douchebags.com
February 27th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Gonzo – Office hot at best. When you see the video (linked in the NY Post article) you’ll see that she’s pretty meh.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
@ Gonzo – Roomate and I debated this and decided sitting down she isnt that hot, but at the end when she gets up you can see she has a fantastic body. Way out of that guys league. He held her dads hand for fucks sake.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
He looks like the type that will grieve and cry alot from this. hopefully he will grieve by banging several of New York’s finest hose.
(get it? he’s a fireman? banging hose? anyone? hello? Bueller?)
February 27th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Bad: your wife cheats on you.
Worse: your wife cheats on you and tells the entire world of her cuckoldry (is that a word)?
The absolute worst: This happens…and you’re a cop.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Big 10 Network = lots of DUI’s for Midwesterners.
February 28th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Yeah, Mike Rowe is pretty funny on “Dirty Jobs”. Any guy who’ll crawl through 2 feet of bat guano or climb to the top of a suspension bridge just to replace a light bulb is ok by me. Even though I’m sure he gets paid handsomely for doing this stuff, he’s still more of a man than I am or ever was.
