EA vs. Tyra. Matchup of the century.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Tyra should win, but EA will ride the sports geek wave to the title.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I just started watching FNL a couple of weeks ago (Totally love it by the way. Can’t stop watching it). And while Tyra is a babe, I’m all about me some Julie Taylor. She is where it’s at.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:40 pm
How EA continues to advance is beyond me. She’s not that hot people.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
boston…those basketballs she stuffs down her shirt disagree.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Too bad we can’t ditch the MMF and change the 3-some after TGI Fridays to include Tyra/Erin.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Boston you need to see her walk across a basketball court in person
Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:45 pm
roeth, if we are changing history, we can do better than that. how about 3-some after TGI-Fridays with Cheryle Cole and Gemma Atkinson
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:47 pm
@Boston, this should clear things up

theyd get my chicken finger’s honey mustard all over their birtday balloons.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Is that Tyra in the picture?
I might have to start watching that show.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Benji - that one works quite well too.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:49 pm
what is up with those hammer pants?
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Obama is demanding a recount
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:52 pm
what is it going to take to get Lebron out of this bracket?
Lets Go OFFICE
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:52 pm
The Office/LeBron is a lesser of two evils for me, since I’m a fan of neither, so my choice is, reluctantly, King James.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Yes, that is Trya, and you are certainly missing out.
Unrelated: Alyssa Milano just joined the cast of Melrose Place, and this might have been the peak of her career. She plays Michael’s sister, and her story is that she used to be a stripper … ah, just watch the reruns
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I heart boobs.
/Sean Connery.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
thank you bruce. how could the possible MVP of the NBA lose to a stupid knock off of pure Ricky Gervais brilliance????
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
i think TBL loves Daphne Zuniga
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I am aware that she has huge tracts of land, but hot girls in the media are a dime a dozen. The fawning over her is rediculous.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Lyla>Tyra - There I said it
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:04 pm
boston…dude, but she talks about SPORTS, man. SPORTS.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Spencer.. So does Linda Cohen and I wouldn’t touch her 12 toed ass with Bea Arthur’s dick.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I vote for attractive women. They always win in my brackets and my britches.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm
So, Boston is knocking us because we like a hot chick. I think you could find something else to knock us for. Maybe poor taste?
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:08 pm
YYSA: Word. I have it like this.
1) Julie
2) Lyla
3) Tyra
Julie is just too cute and booblicious for me to resist. Lyla is smoking though.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
linda cohn has 12 toes?
and i agree, 12 toes or not, the only way id fuck her is if she became mute immediately afterwards. oh, and shed have to be gagged and have a plastic bag over her head…and my head too, i like that kinda stuff.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Gonzo,
I’m not knocking you for liking her. I am just shocked by the # of people seem to believe she is some kind of super beauty. She’s attractive women that happens to talk about sports. I have grown tired of her becuase she is overexposed.
I am just shocked she keeps winning.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Spencer- That’s an old bit from Mr. Tony. He used to say she had 12 toes the hard way (7 and 5)
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:16 pm
@boston- hot women are “a dime a dozen” in sports, but hot women with brains and personality are few and far between. That’s the category EA fits into; what’s wrong with that?
@spencer- the 12 toe thing started out as a running gag on Kornheiser’s ESPN radio show. Why? I have no clue…
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:17 pm
An attractive woman talking about sports gets an extra couple points in the same way the waitress instantly becomes twice as attractive when she’s walking to the table with a plate of wings and a pitcher of Sam Adams.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
damn. i was about to say, if linda cohn actually had 12 toes, id find her more attractive. thats some hot shit right thurr.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:19 pm
@Sean John - I got Lyla just ahead of Julie but not by much. Either way I need to see more of Noelle on FNL
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:20 pm
1.) Smash’s mom
2.) Lyla
3.) Tyra
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
lol @ Smash’s Mom.
YYSA: I don’t recall Noelle, but I just started watching Season 2 (6 episodes in), so no spoilers!
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
YYSA and Sean John - Much as I find the thing (birthmark? perpetual zit?) between her eyes mesmerizing, I still don’t put Tyra in Lyla’s league. And, Julie Taylor is a milf of the first order.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
412: You’re thinking of Tammy Taylor, of whom I completely agree. I’m talking about the young’un. She reminds me of Elisha Cuthbert.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Tami Taylor, rather.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:24 pm
did anyone know that Linda Cohn was a hockey player on the men’s team in college?? That explains so much.
+1 for smash’s mom.
my order goes:
1A: Lyla
1B: Tyra
1C: Julie
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:24 pm
@seanjean - just wait until season 2 when Julie sluts it up more and grows some serious biscuits. She is my #1 as well.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:25 pm
The actress that plays Julie Taylor wasn’t even more when I started college. Kind of weirds me out.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
I hear ya Boston. On the surface, she is just hot, but I think she gets bonus points because she is hot and hasn’t done any FHM spreads, so she keeps us all guessing. So, that’s very classy. and she is a VERY VERY cool chick. which always gets points. TBL did a post with a link to her on the radio here in Philly a couple weeks back. She’s a delight.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I know this is late but what in the hell is hot clicks in reference to?
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
The American version of The Office is unwatchably bad. It makes the Family Guy look funny. Wall to wall non-sequiturs for dim bulbs and dullards. Come on, people. You’re better than this.
British Office = the Big Show
American Office = today’s Sportscenter
Everything’s overblown and unbelievable and bad and a shell of something that was once good.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Why do people keep talking about EA like they know her? People are capable of maintaining a public persona that is quite different from who they really are. She may be cool. She refuses to get semi-nude and I respect that. I just don’t get the unadulterated love she gets.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Punch yourself in the junk
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I watch about 5 hours of television (minus sports and movies) a week, and Family Guy and Office are hilarious staples, so CTH and YYSA can both munch taint.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
ugh, nevermind boston.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Hey Ben I was defending those shows. They are both my favorites
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
@YYSA: my bad. Upon further review, I now understand. I also like how it’s referenced as ‘the Family Guy.’
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Family Guy/The Family Guy, whatever. The point is that you are an athyroidotic troglodyte for thinking these shows are funny. It’s not a matter of opinion. Objectively speaking, you are a moron. Do you smoke a lot of dope or were you born stupid?
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Meh, a little of both.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:06 pm
easy on the big words. we’re simple minded sports folk here
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Oh, yeah? Well, “Soul Man” sucked!
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:12 pm
athyroidotic troglodyte
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm
cthomashowell is trying way too hard.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Yep someone need’s to suck on Lois’ breast for a minute.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
If TBL’s server blows up it will be because you voted the Office over God.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Tyra is a volleyball smashing, Applebee’s waiting, accent having bombshell. Plus she is on an awesome show. EA isn’t anything to scoff at, but she is just not more Now!, I mean more culture bracketish…what are we even voting about? Oh well, this is fun. Go Tyra.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Multisyllabic words = trying way too hard in Knoxville?
Maybe if trying was considered cooler in Knoxville your basketball team wouldn’t be overrated every year.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Welcome to the board, douchedick.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
This FNL girl is pretty exotic looking. I wouldn’t be able to give her the nod over EA unless she dropped 15-20, though.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Nick, you’re joking, right? Please surf the web or bit torrent for one of the last episodes she was in … where she plays volleyball.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Douchedick?
Anyone who talks this way about girls he’ll never bang couldn’t get laid on a rowboat full of hookers.
