The Roundup: MLB Draft, a Fight, and Scalabrine
Baseball, Bill Simmons, ESPN, Fighting, Horse Racing, Media Gossip/Musings, NBA, Video June 6th. 2008, 8:00am
Because the best way to combat a story about you in a national magazine is to put on a brave face in public! … toddler steered car for drunken mother … tremendous photo from the college baseball world series … if you have $8,000, you can have lunch and go shopping with Reggie Bush’s girlfriend … speaking of Bush, his court date was pushed back to Aug. 1 … wouldn’t you be upset if you lived in this town where Megan Fox was, and you didn’t even attempt to say hi? … the famous faces from the crowd last night …

The charm of today’s athletes.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Since when did Hooters start hiring she-males as waitresses?
June 6th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Can’t wait for Ballin’ – Paul Pierce > Willis Reed?
June 6th, 2008 at 8:17 am
@whodey,
oh i hate that comparison already.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:17 am
going to break it up, Whodey – pierce is getting his own post
June 6th, 2008 at 8:21 am
pierce is a pussy, but hes an awfully good ballplayer
June 6th, 2008 at 8:25 am
@sparty – It’s funny because it’s so absurd.
@TBL – Will the post insinuate that Pierce was faking, or at least exaggerating? I love me a good controversy!
June 6th, 2008 at 8:30 am
please, overly cautious medical staff. Tafoya even reported that it was Pierce that wanted to walk under his own power and they wouldn’t let him.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:32 am
@sparty
not mad at him, but the wheelchair was way over the top
June 6th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Maybe next time someone takes a charge they can bring an ambulance onto the court.
I’ve been to that same Hooters a bunch of times. I can vouch that they do have some solid talent on their staff.

my mother-in-law lives in Bethlehem, maybe we should have visited her last weekend like she wanted.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Anyone else want to chip in with me to
stare atshop with Kim K in person? TBL? I’m all about that.June 6th, 2008 at 8:42 am
@WhoDey: if i’m paying $8,000, i better get more than lunch.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:47 am
@WhoDey – TBL isn’t allowed to bid because Imig and I have refused to blog pro bono.

June 6th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Please dont start with this Willis Reed comparison. PP’s drawstring on his shorts came off, mfer deserves an Oscar for that performance last night.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:51 am
weakest. round-up picture. ever.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:52 am
oh, those who missed out on TBL after dark last night should check those threads. Some fun was had. Sunday night’s probably going to be jumping
June 6th, 2008 at 8:53 am
the Pierce post needs to go up soon. looks like we have people foaming at the mouth to bitch about that “moment” last night.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:53 am
pierce is still gay.
literally.
/come get me PP lawyers, i aint scurred.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Potentially bad news for Czaban listeners.
And…that is way too much Tony Romo for the Round-up. Can we institute a no-sausage rule here?
June 6th, 2008 at 8:57 am
What do you guys get paid in — links?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:00 am
@The412 – Hopefully, at the most, it’ll mean Czabe’s local DC show ends. The First Team is the best show on radio. If it ever ended, I don’t know what I’d do, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be listen to Mike and Mike.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:01 am
no more czaban = no more sports radio for me.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:05 am
RE: Mike and Mike. Just like anything else that ESPN produces, they just became shtick. They were good for the first few years on the air, but the whole Odd Couple thing started to get old, but ESPN continues to shove that end of it down our throats. We get it, Greenie likes clothes and hair products. Mike Golic is a former linemen who likes to eat, but is actually on Nutrisystem, so everything about how much food he eats is bullshit. thanks, can you talk about sports?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:14 am
The Czaban things just applies to his local DC show on 980 WTEM. He and Andy Pollin (of the old Tony Kornheiser Show) host a show called “The Sports Reporters”.
His First Team stint on FSR is unaffected by the development.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Seriosly, people are actually bidding on the Kim k shit. Who says we are in a recession?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I think Paul Pierce read Dwayne Wade’s latest book “How to Make a Minor Injury Look Tragic So You can Come Back For Dramatic Effect” or the working title “How We Think We Are Heroic But Just Really Look Like Raging Vaginas”…seriously..Allan Iverson could get run over by a steam roller and a marching band and jump up like its nothing..grow a pair PP
June 6th, 2008 at 9:34 am
can someone fill me in on this G-Tech nerd thing?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Most of the students from GT are much smarter than those at UGA, therefore, they are nerds.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Georgia Tech Kids can read and write…UGA kids use pictures and shiny objects to communicate…but it is Georgia so in reality is anyone really a Nerd?
June 6th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Knowing how to read and write in Georgia = nerd.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:59 am
DC area folks can indeed kiss Czaban’s local show goodbye. No way that Snyder will allow for a dissenting voice on WTEM.
June 6th, 2008 at 10:12 am
I’d like to think the FSN show would survive.
From Czabe’s site:
