The Roundup: All the Cowboys Want to Be Famous
Baseball, Bill Simmons, Movies, NBA, NFL, Soccer, Video May 20th. 2008, 8:00am
Still haven’t seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which stars everyone’s new favorite, the sultry Mila Kunis … one of the coolest photos you’ll see this week – the guy is actually walking on water … Dallas is the new Tampa – the 12-year-old stripper won’t even cost the club its license … and if not Dallas, then certainly Arkansas, where a 12-year-old got a DUI … the new 90210 trailer … it’s probably a good thing we wont see these R. Kelly documents … disturbed ESPN impersonator is finally arrested … Governor’s son hosts keg parties at Governor’s mansion …

See, irishmafia – it’s not always Florida

Just got back from Irish’s neck of the woods. That sun is no joke down there.

Late-arriving crew … everyone must be hungover after celebrating Lester and the Spurs. Or, everyone’s on the Gossip Girl message boards. Stellar season finale.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:30 am
i celebrate the spurs like I’d celebrate and anal fissure
May 20th, 2008 at 8:32 am
/an anal fissure

Sounds like a cool new dance…

man, that TBL after dark post last night really perked up when a certain female showed up, huh?
next thing you know, jerry o connell’s going to be dropping her notes on myspace …

Not a cop-out, not a pretty, tidy ending, nothing but deep, authentic emotion; it was fantastic for that.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I’m still bitter about last night. Nothing good came out of it at all.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:44 am
The downside of a DVR – DVR Laziness. I’m about 2 weeks behind, and hoping to avoid everyone talking about it today before I watch it
May 20th, 2008 at 8:45 am
House was excellent.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:48 am
i want to be a governor’s son.
fuckin deadbeat dad.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Tsk tsk. Mils Kunis is smoking in that movie. Plus, it’s halarious.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:49 am
DVR’d House. Gonna watch it as soon as I get home from work before the Pistons/Celts. Who doesn’t love a manic/vicodin popping/narcissistic genius as their doctor?
May 20th, 2008 at 8:49 am
House or ER?
Fact: Never seen one episode of ER. Proud of it, too. Have seen some House – good stuff. My brother jocks it. Oh, he wanted to pass along these photos of drunk Topanga. The site is NSFW, but the photos are. Hence the inclusion here and not in the post.

You’ll like Forgetting Sarah Marshall. My recommendation – try seeing it in a packed theater (or relatively full). I think it loses some if there’s nobody there laughing with you. Also, be prepared for unprovoked and completely unnecessary man-meat. As for the good parts, Mila Kunis will jump to the top of your list. She is amazing in this movie. I can’t even put it into words.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:53 am
i was never really that big a fan of Kunis…the only thing i saw her in was that 70’s show so…
she looks good up there tho.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:54 am
@TBL – House is great. Saw the Topanga link last night – kind of a disappointment unless you sit through that awful Boston-based morning show clip.
@1 Happy St –
Jason Segel’s man meat is never unnecessary.Never mind…May 20th, 2008 at 8:54 am
BTW, Baby Mama (date movie, but I like me some Tina Fey, too) was really funny for the moments where the director obviously let her and Amy Poehler improvise, and was that way in a theater with like fifteen people.
Have yet to see Sarah Marshall or Iron Man, and I’m not sure if I want to see Indy 4 without seeing anything in canon before. I’m weird with movies.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I can’t wait for Indy.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Road trip!
May 20th, 2008 at 8:58 am
@ Nick Papageorgio: I just spit out my coffee. In a good way.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:00 am
@CRM,
Indy got a standing “o” at Cannes and has got awesome reviews. This is gonna make a ridiculous amount of money. I got presale!
May 20th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Agree w/ Reggie – if you’re stuck going to a “date” movie or chick-flick, talk her into Baby Mama. Some really funny parts.
House was very good last night.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:03 am
i actually prefer seeing it where nobody else is laughing; sometimes, people are laughing so hard you miss lines. i have no probably laughing out loud in the theater. happens often, in fact.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:03 am
RE: 90210
from Michael on the Wire to 90210? talk about your 2 extremes.
lori loughlin has still got it.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Topanga! Hilarious.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am
@Benji: Lori Loughlin will ALWAYS have it.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:10 am
@CRM: For a second, I thought you mean the 500.
I can’t wait for either (the 500 or the movie).
May 20th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Let’s see if we can count the Arkansas stereotypes in that article. 12 year old drinking beer, check. Slack jawed slang, check. Answering the door with a shotgun, check.
Awesome, thanks guys.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:12 am
@ark: You left out a big plug of chaw in the patriach’s cheek.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Arkbadger – don’t forget it included a pick-up truck (check) that belonged to his stepfather (check). Plus, the guy answering the door had the NASCAR approved 2 first names (Clark James).
May 20th, 2008 at 9:18 am
@Ark: Also, there were no FOIA requests of people.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Yo, TBL: If you get sent an NYT article, hit Single Page.
One of the greatest things about that paper (and some other Times papers) on the ‘Net: Scrolling without clicking and reading a whole story.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:22 am
I’ve got my tickets for turn 3…Weather forecast for Indy on Sunday: 76 Sunny, 10% chance of rain, 100% chance of acting like a jackass by noon
May 20th, 2008 at 9:49 am
That 70k donation from Yao is cheap. He made $55 million in 2007, and he can only part with 70k?
Michael Schumacher donated $10 million after the Indian Ocean quake in 2004, and it’s not like he’s from Sri Lanka.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I saw FSM this past Saturday. I was very pleasantly surprised. A really well done movie, with a lot of hilarious stuff. Also, as stated before, Mila Kunis totally shines in it. She’s both a babe and really good in it.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:01 am
TBL, you’ve never seen an episode of ER? You’d have dug it the most in the early years… I’m perplexed.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Never seen an episode of ER either or NYPD Blue or many other long running shows.
Mike Silver must have had one of his homies help him get that Cutler get.
May 20th, 2008 at 10:53 am
God Bless Colorado!
May 20th, 2008 at 11:04 am
Congrats to TBL on finally linking properly

There should be a “D” next to that Colorado governor’s name.
May 20th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
No, the kid isn’t in politics, so you don’t normally address his political affiliation. You never see Chelsea Clinton-D
And why does it matter in this case?

Simmons started off his last (on next to last) podcast chanting, “Attica, Attica”!
