We’re not sure how you went a week or two without Cheryl Tweedy (nee Cole) … teacher caught on tape talking to a student; she’s clearly mentally ill … Liv Tyler is back on the market … the numbers regarding Americans who save vs. Americans who spend are astounding … why would Cristiano Ronaldo not want to lock this up? … reason 25 why we hate the Hills … watch Jessica Alba talk about a staring competition! …

An early roundup today! Now I’ll get a chance to look at all the links that are blocked at work. Somebody’s showing up 15 minutes late today.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:07 am
huh? It’s always at 8, man
May 9th, 2008 at 8:11 am
she is so hot but that idiotic tat really doesnt do it for me
May 9th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Yeah, for me the tat detracts. Just a little bit, but still.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:14 am
It’s the word “Mother” an inch away from her picture that ruins it for me.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:25 am
why is the joba fist pump such a big deal to guys? the pitches with crazy enthusiasm. why isn’t there a bigger outcry for Manny starting at his HRs? Eck use to do it all the time too. Papelbon does it now. It is so dumb that players are whining about it, and that it is getting so much media coverage.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:26 am
sparty: “it’s disrespectful!”
anyone else totally obsessed with lost right now? seriously, what an episode
May 9th, 2008 at 8:28 am
wouldn’t you know who Dara Torres was just from the original TaeBo commercials? I am pretty sure that was her pimping that.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:32 am
ya i dont really care if joba yells or manny stares
May 9th, 2008 at 8:33 am
you cannot jump down a guys throat two days earlier for blowing a lead late in the game. Then build up the story to see how he is gonna respond, talking about how this could really get to a young pither and than castrate him when he responds the way he did. just dumb. I think I am more pissed at the NY media about this than the players who bitch. anyway, Joba Rules!
May 9th, 2008 at 8:34 am
loved last nights episode. and yes, i’m pretty much obsessed.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:34 am
*then
May 9th, 2008 at 8:35 am
never got into Lost. Thursday is Smallville night!
May 9th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Yeah, for me the tat detracts. Just a little bit, but still.
More than a bit for me. Why take a leg like that and put crap on it?
Lost really lost me on the past/future thing last night with them receiving the message before the doctor died, but I probably won’t be around much this morning to talk about it.
And, notice that I resisted the urge to overstate the obvious about why Joba yelling (and not those other people) is news.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:37 am
what a grab though by the “father of the year” Dodger fan
RE teacher in FL
She clearly is mentally ill, no joke. she was in court laughing at the judge with a big grin on her face like this was no big deal. After she got arrested, she continued to bang the young student. hats off to the student, but this chick nuts
May 9th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Insert Osi U. joke here.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Didn’t see last night’s yet…so I’ll probably have to duck out to avoid spotting any spoilers. The show keeps getting better and better.
Any idea how many episodes left for this season?
May 9th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Irish,
Did you see the mugshot for this chick.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:41 am
I hate all tattoos on ladies, except the excusable really tiny ones girls have on their ankles, wrists, back, etc. Looks kinda trashy when they get larger.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Joba is a bitch.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:44 am
@sparty- yeah, but Debrah Lefave still beats them all. hey it looks like Mr big shot is playing for game 4 on Sat. I got tickets and im bringing my umbrella
May 9th, 2008 at 8:45 am
412, you need to watch that online WHILE YOU work. YOU have headphones in the office, right? Mandatory.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:45 am
I think there’s a valid point to the whole “drop sports on local news” thing. There are so many other places I go to get sports besides my local news. I tune in during breakfast in the morning for weather, traffic, and a few highlights of important stories. I’m on sports talk radio and the blogosphere the rest of the day for the rest.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Billups isn’t sure if he is playing. Arnie Kander is busy working his magic though.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:46 am
*pun not intended
May 9th, 2008 at 8:47 am
@Irish,
the chick isn’t that hot, but her 4th time getting busted. Her holding up 4 fingers in the mugshot is hysterical.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:50 am
TBL – Lumbergh is blocking streaming video from abc.com.
May 9th, 2008 at 8:54 am
what the fuck is she wearing?
May 9th, 2008 at 8:55 am
On Cheryl Cole – it’s not just the size of the tattoo, it’s the tattoo itself. It’s like something I’d expect to see on some 47-year old local skank at the Rack & Cue or something…I picture the tattoo artist listening to ZZ Top as he’s doing the ink.
Oh yeah, I’d still fuck her though.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:00 am
she could have a tattoo of a penis on her forehead and i could give two shits less.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:01 am
In fact, spencer would prefer if she had a penis tat on her forehead.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:08 am
No Lost spoilers, you sunts. Some of us have it DVR’d waiting on us.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:09 am
@TBL- any chance of a post about the All-NBA First Team picks?
May 9th, 2008 at 9:12 am
la-la-la-la!…I can’t hear you talking about “Lost”!…
May 9th, 2008 at 9:14 am
OMFG, it was so awesome. Hurley and Locke gang banged Kate
May 9th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Got my tax stimulus check today. A case of good beer and a bag of dank is on the way. Is it 5:00 yet?
May 9th, 2008 at 9:15 am
“Jewbacca.” Funny…my brother-in-law used to call my dad that because he had an inordinate amount of body hair (Chewbacca) and…well…because of the Commenter BOR I’ll just let you figure out where the “Jew” part came from.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Wow, back to “Hef” so soon? Jewbacca – we hardly knew ye
May 9th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Does anyone remember the Jewess Jeans fake commercial from SNL circa ~1977?
May 9th, 2008 at 9:17 am
ah, the old bag of dank, wise choice.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:20 am
we need an ammendment to the bill of rights…i want to end women’s suffrage.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Why I couldn’t I have grew up in Tampa Bay???
/Sighs
May 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Or at least make it so they can’t drive anymore.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Way to stimulate the econmoy ark!
May 9th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Women have been suffraging for too long! This must stop!
May 9th, 2008 at 9:24 am
The father of the year clip was great…IF you go to Major League Jerk, you can see the Red Lasso version of it and the fact we had it up early yesterday.
/whore…serious fucking whore…hef and his good looks and charm now look at me..I am everything I dispise
May 9th, 2008 at 9:26 am
@jb49ers. Thanks. I imagine that after I stimulate my head for a couple hours, I’ll get pretty hungry and order a pizza or maybe actually go get something to eat, which will force me to overpay on some gas while I am as well. I’ll be stimulating the economy so much it will make george w’s head spin.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:32 am
@ark: And after all that, you could still buy a ‘97 Mazda.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I wonder how many people in Cleveland had a little herbal stimulation and then went out and got the 0.23 cent pizza.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:35 am
@ark – At least you got to spend you stimulus on something fun. Mine went to an alternator and a $1200 (not a typo) brake job.
Instead, maybe I should have purchased a ‘97 Mazda.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:35 am
separated at birth: debra lafave and megyn kelly (fox news).
May 9th, 2008 at 9:36 am
jb…probably none. 5 hour long waits, police called in to keep order, fights. fun stuff, and in addition to all that, they ran out of pizza at most of them.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:43 am
@spencer. Damn, a 5 hour wait for some pizza? Damn, I don’t know if i would wait 5 hours for a $0.23 HJ.
May 9th, 2008 at 9:46 am
what about a ZJ?
May 9th, 2008 at 9:48 am
@Nick. I could at least afford a $0.23 ZJ. Thanks again George W. for making all my wildest dreams come true.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:40 am
What the hell was I supposed to see in the E60 video?
May 9th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Salters doesn’t know what the long jump is. What a dope.
May 9th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
le batard and 790 dominating the miami radio wars as usual
May 9th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
the more i learn about lisa salters the more convinced i am she is a zombie. it’s painfully obvious when she works college football games that by the questions she asks coaches — specifically at halftime — that she’s not watching the friggin’ game.
