The Roundup: Megan Fox is All Anyone Cares About

Charlize, but only because the most e-mailed photos to us, ever, are too risky to put out front. If you’re wondering what we’re talking about, then you likely weren’t on the internet Monday: Megan Fox topless, with pasties. Obviously, NSFW … a reader reminded us that our last guarantee on this site was about Rudy and Clinton being the presidential nominees, and since we’ll go 0-for-2 there, we already concede on the baseball guarantee … have rising gas prices devalued houses in the burbs? … when 64-year-old women curse on TV …
We’ll get to the Cavs game later, but can you read KG’s lips here? (Waiting for Next Year)

I dont think its because of the gas prices, but i just bought my first house in a suburb of cincy. It was WAY nicer than I expected to be able to afford. I think all of the factors with the economy contributed to that. Im not mad though, obviously
May 13th, 2008 at 8:10 am
@blazers – I won’t make any assumptions since I don’t know you and I’ll bet you didn’t reach beyond your means, but recent foreclosure problems have been caused by that – people buying things that are nicer than they can really afford. It’s a thin line.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:13 am
oh, I know the reasons for it. Im just saying that it helped me out. We went with a house that we knew we could afford easily, because I like going out too much to be house poor.
going out > staying in every night
May 13th, 2008 at 8:19 am
thank you for the megan fox pic TBL. wonderful.
you gotta love the NY sports writers. They really believe they are the elite.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:29 am
i think KG was talking about the Cav fans when he said fucking fa*&ots
about the Dwight Howard article. I think Dice summed it up the best
“They played defense on him, we didn’t,” Antonio McDyess said. “They stopped giving him the ball in the paint. (Hedo) Turkoglu just started taking over the game, and (Howard) wasn’t getting the ball in the paint. That was huge.”
Hedo was once again hogging the ball and shooting bricks. I think they need to get the ball into Dwight more for obvious reasons that i dont have to explain
May 13th, 2008 at 8:30 am
this is sad. but too true
May 13th, 2008 at 8:31 am
KG’s a fucking douchebag.
NYT writers should love the Patriots for laying that egg (biggest choke in history) so the Giants could win the SB.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Chalize was amazing in Arrested Development.
TBL, don’t concede on that bet. i think Hef has a better shot, but you could still win it. Think positive my man!!
May 13th, 2008 at 8:31 am
stimulus check=pay off debt.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Maybe it’s just the move to Boston (which immediately makes everyone more annoying), but I seem to recall KG at one point being a lovable kid. Now, he’s really easy to dislike. I’m not sure what really caused the transformation.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:34 am
anyone else think the whole banging his chest the way he does makes Garnett look like a retard? you know how you would do it to make fun of someone as a kid, and then your mom would yell at you to stop or you will end up to have a kid like that?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:34 am
How the hell did Marcus Camby get ALL NBA Defensive First team over my boy? that is the biggest travesty all year. We all know the Nuggets dont play any defense
May 13th, 2008 at 8:36 am
@irish,
didn’t SVG accuse your boy of not playing defense?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:37 am
dont even get me started on Stan Van Gundy. F him right now
May 13th, 2008 at 8:38 am
fuck the Celtics…go cavs.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:38 am
i do not think anyone wants to wait until ballin
May 13th, 2008 at 8:40 am
That All-D list is a joke. Bowen, Duncan, and Kobe were all-D about 3-4 years ago. Camby never was. Garnett belongs, but he’s a sunt, so F him too.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:40 am
That was a bit hasty. Duncan is great on D. Was 1st team last year, but I think he’s lost a step this year. I stand by the rest.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Joe Tait’s voice is annoying.
There, I said it.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:42 am
The Megan Fox pictures brought a tear to my eye. Very very nice.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:43 am
@TBL- i appreciated reading how the gas prices are devaluing houses in the Tampa area and other parts of the nation. I think i paid $ 3.76 this morning for gas, regular. Im lucky to say at this point, my house has yet to lose value. Im the next year or so, who knows.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:43 am
WhoDey…not nearly as annoying as the Bengals uniforms.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Joe Tait is the man. He should do TV over Fag mcloed.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:49 am
You guys see LBJ’s mom trying to throw it down with KG?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Side note- does this site cause your internet to crash a couple times a day or does my computer suck at work ?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I don’t think gas has anything to do with suburbia prices. I think these far flung homes were the newly built McMansions and Condos that were way overpriced and needed to come down anyway. I don’t believe reports by “CEOs for Cities”, sounds like some organization that tries to get people to live downtown.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Says the guy whose team mixes Orange and…. Brown? Did Ray Charles pick those colors out?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:55 am
yea, my internet crashes every now and then…
May 13th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Super, it used to, but since I installed adbloc plus it seems much better (don’t tell TBL, I click on ads all the time, really)
May 13th, 2008 at 8:56 am
thanks guys
May 13th, 2008 at 8:57 am
WhoDey…at least we don’t look like Candy Corn. and what’s with that arbitrary white stripe down the side of your jersies? what the hell is the point? the browns have tradition on their side, a definite plus…the bengals look like halloween gone terriby terribly wrong.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:01 am
I do dislike the uniform “update” they went through a few years ago. I’m a big fan of the classic flat black (or white) with the ring of Bengal stripes on the shoulders, like so: http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Fall05/brownlee/vintagebengals2.gif
May 13th, 2008 at 9:02 am
yea, that’s much better than the shit they have now. ive always like their helmets tho (except during their early years when it just said BENGALS across the side).
May 13th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Yardwork will be a few minutes late because Patrick Imig was partying last night with Jake the Snake Roberts and Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:05 am
During the course of a pro baseball game, pitchers in the bullpen are quite bored — I know from experience.
Back in college (early to mid-1990s), I worked summers for a Class AA team in the Northeast. The home ‘pen was right along a low fence that one could easliy hop over.
Their mid-innings entertainment? Trying to throw sunflower seeds into a foot-round circle drawn in the dirt. At least that’s what they did when not scanning the bleachers for women…
Being a pro baseball player is like staying 15 years old again…for as long as the career lasts.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:06 am
@whodey: ah Boomer. Those were the days. I love Carson, but Boom is my all-time fave.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Nick, post your All D team if you dont like the list. I would have had Battier and Howard first team. I am fine with kobe, Timmy and KG. Do coaches have to pick by position? how does that work
May 13th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Rondo, Battier, Prince, Garnett, Dwight or Chandler
Trying to keep it by position, otherwise I’d have 5 centers.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Ironic how the resident Boston fan here who never shows his face made fun of me for my propensity for talking about the importance of home court in the playoffs.
I believe he said, yeah like the home team wins all their games. Well sure looks like Boston wins all their home games and loses all their road games.
Even if you get out of this series Boston, you can’t win on the road, you’re fucked, hahahahhahahahah.
Oh and I don’t like KG either but big deal about what he said, I know I’ve said far worse when playing sports.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:30 am
that name gets me every time…best bet ever.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:33 am
There’s a Boston fan on this site?
May 13th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I hate the Celts as much as anyone, but how are they fucked if they have homecourt throughout?
May 13th, 2008 at 9:34 am
St. Bear and walfredo are both boston fans i believe. theyre good people.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:35 am
@Spencer – I liked it better when he had to type it out each time. But I’ve always been big on nostalgia…
May 13th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I remember the conversation, cbh. I don’t think it was either of those two.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:36 am
When i see someone with Mass plates down here in FL, they get the ol number one. bunch of bandwagon riders
May 13th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Would the ol number one be penny or mcgrady?
May 13th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I was referring to Dorncock.
Clown I know it makes no sense but what trash talking does, who cares, FUCK BOSTON.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Yeah fuck Boston.
Dorncock is a cock.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:41 am
i know why cbh doesnt like Dornoch, which is understandable. i thought he brought some insight to the ballin posts. i knew that Dorncoch nickname would stick.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:43 am
If I remember, Dornoch was a U of Florida and Boston fan…so yeah, I’m really glad he doesn’t come around anymore.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Two things:
1) I would do anything, ANYTHING to Megan Fox.
2) I can definitely see how it looks like KG said “f*cking f*ggots” but it also looks very much like “f*ucking fans.” And since he was looking into the crowd when he said it, that makes the latter phrase more believeable.
3) I would wreck Megan Fox. Make her pay for being hot.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:56 am
That’s three things, right? Oops. Megan Fox deserves extra.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:57 am
People in financial circles have talked for years about the added cost of commuting farther to work vs the lower cost of houses in the suburbs. And people have ignored them. Rising gas prices have probably made this dynamic a little more acute, but I doubt very many are running the numbers and realizing how much their daily commute costs them when they decide where to buy a house.
More likely, housing prices are falling in the suburbs for the same reasons they’re falling everywhere else.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:01 am
TBL – next baseball wager you make like that i suggest you look at team Pythagorean records rather than payroll, that is a much better indicator for who is playing above or below true record. Yes there is long term correlation between payroll and performance but in anyone year, and especially in any half a year there is going to be plenty of fluctuations and outliers. plus, as it has been common knowledge since the publication of moneyball, billy beane has earned his living beating the odds and winning more efficiently (ie with a smaller payroll) with the A’s than the rest of the league. solid move manning up to your mistake tho.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:02 am
TBL, the link I sent you last night was way better than the Megan Fox one. Totally NSFW, but still…
May 13th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Sportsgal sends NSFW pics…
So, do you like married guys?
May 13th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Only if they’re well hung…
What kind of bet did you make with Diesel that you only have to display the Cubs avatar for one day? LAME.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Do you see my regular avatar? I see the cubs logo still.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Weird, yesterday I saw the Cubs logo, but today it’s Buster.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:24 am
hef, i see the regular avatar and have seen that every day.
sportsgal, what is the NSFW link of?
May 13th, 2008 at 10:32 am
How about now?
May 13th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Nope, still Buster for me… not sure if this makes a difference, but yesterday I was plugged into my home DSL line and today I’m back in the office on the T1 line.
@benji – some pics from the newest Playboy centerfold. Artie talked about her yesterday on Stern.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:35 am
I’ve been seeing the Cubs logo all morning, dumbass.
May 13th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Hef, your avatar is caught in a sort of browser cache/gravatar cache continuum. It’ll work itself out.
