Nicely done Intern Bill…the website is still operational and I only don’t care of about 85% of the links..color it a success…WHOOOOZAAAAAH

June 12th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
We! Want! Cleavage! (clap, clap, clapclapcalp)

The PGA confidential item is always in the golf plus edition of SI before a major. It’s always interesting to read. I’ve always wondered who writes it. It seems like the same person each time. Any ideas?
June 12th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Intern Bill…how do you miss the fct that Barry Bonds is in that picture with TO? Oh and I don’t approve of this link.

If I wanted to read a book, I’d buy a book. Thanks, but no thanks.
Score – 6.5/10 Not too bad for a rookie

Those stupid Americans and their antiquated “free speech” nonsense (New York Times)
June 12th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Short post-good
PSU link-fantastic
Titties-below average
I’ll give it a passing grade.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I can’t believe they didn’t know the old man will last forever once they stuff him full of Formaldehyde. That is what you get when you go to Penn State I guess.

Given the logo behind Becki Newton, is she a gay?
June 12th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Mike..i love the mocking tone of the article you linked and how the conservative and the liberal civil liberties guy both told him he essentially sucked (in ther way of saying we should have free speech)
June 12th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
TBL/Intern Bill – why haven’t we seen a political post lately? I thought we would see something after Obama won the nomination. Or have Mike in NYC and The 412 scared you away from political issues?
June 12th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
not bad Intern Bill. Poor roundup pic, but that is okay for day 1.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Bill – Couldn’t find a photo of Patricia Heaton?
content = good, titties = 4 thumbs down.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Or have Mike in NYC and The 412 scared you away from political issues?
It begins and ends with clown
June 12th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Wow, I’m not really into the chick-pics, but I love Becki Newton, she is one of the best things about Ugly Betty; she is so, so funny.
I think she’s married to a dude Sean Jean–
+1 TBL intern

June 12th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
FUCK BILLY FUCKING WAGNER…FUCK HIM FUCK HIM STRAIGHT UP THE FUCKING ASS..I HATE THIS COCKSUCKER..I HATE HIM…FUCK FUCK FUCK
June 12th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Come on, Roman.
“It is not clear to me that the Europeans are mistaken,†Jeremy Waldron, a legal philosopher, wrote in The New York Review of Books last month, “when they say that a liberal democracy must take affirmative responsibility for protecting the atmosphere of mutual respect against certain forms of vicious attack.€ ……
But even Mr. Lewis, a liberal, wrote in his book that he was inclined to relax some of the most stringent First Amendment protections “in an age when words have inspired acts of mass murder and terrorism.€

HAHAHAHAHAHA BILLY SWEET BILLY BOY
June 12th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Intern Bill, the boss is setting you up to fail. Send Hef your resume.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Orioles > Mets
Orioles > Indians
June 12th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Buccos back within 1 game of .500. Of course, now we go on the road for interleague where we’ve won something like 3 of the past 27.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
mets up 4-3 in ninth bases loaded no outs for those that are at work.. sorry roman
June 12th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Mie..not the douche who wrote the book..the civiliberties lawyer
June 12th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Yeah … I really don’t care. Just trying to ignite this awful PM Roundup.
/just kidding, Billy.

Harvey A. Silverglate, a civil liberties lawyer in Cambridge, Mass., disagreed. “When times are tough,†he said, “there seems to be a tendency to say there is too much freedom.€
“Free speech matters because it works,†Mr. Silverglate continued. Scrutiny and debate are more effective ways of combating hate speech than censorship, he said, and all the more so in the post-Sept. 11 era.
“The world didn’t suffer because too many people read ‘Mein Kampf,’ †Mr. Silverglate said. “Sending Hitler on a speaking tour of the United States would have been quite a good idea.€
Mr. Silverglate seemed to be echoing the words of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., whose 1919 dissent in Abrams v. United States eventually formed the basis for modern First Amendment law.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Mike..at this point I don’t care..we are not losing freedom of speech..but the Mets could lose this game…FUCK TIE GAME FUCK FUCK FUCK
June 12th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Should’ve pulled that home to 3rd double play. oopsie.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Back-to-back-to-back blown saves. Now that is impressive.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Come on Reynolds put Wagner out of his misery
June 12th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Becki Newton is a find. I don’t watch “Ugly Betty” because… well, because I don’t have a vagina. Not much out there on Google images on her. I kind of like this one, but she needs to dress less.
Nice work, Intern Bill. Don’t let the bastards bring you down.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Sounds like it is all Willie Randolph’s fault.

@412- im always a little hesitant to click on your links, but that was nice
June 12th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
cbh..funny…the future former manager is not at fault today..yet…but he is going to lose his job because of these assholes
June 12th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Bruce Feldman just had an article saying Penn State was doing great in 2009 recruiting. 5 Top 150 verbals.

in the laser story they said they will use it for urban operations. i dont care how badass of a thug you are, a laser will bust your ass.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Dbacks better win this game. Can’t lose two in a row like this
June 12th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
RexKramerNomoSeeker, the O’s are better this year.
The Indians still winning the World Series? Hhahahahahah.

Roman, Chavez has some pretty cool at-bat music
June 12th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
That’s nice, sponge-worthy. Unfortunately, Intern Mike doesn’t care about black people.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
and neither does Intern Bill apparently

goes without saying, rex
June 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Bill, nice work. Some stories are a couple days old, but the whole Wendy Williams thing is new to me. I dont understand why she is broadcast in toledo, ohio.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I agree 49er, Kanye caught gawking is pretty funny though
June 12th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Needs more CoRM in the pic dept. Overall, a good start
June 12th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I think Kanye was just in deep thought about his mama?
Too soon?
June 12th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
This roundup picture should be the bar by which all pictures are judged.
Mmmmmmm.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I meant, I dont understand why anything is broadcast in T-town.
June 12th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
@ chelsea – i respectfully disagree

“in the age of terrorism we should limit free speech because of the terrorists despite the face that that’s what the terrorists want”
June 12th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
…despite the fact that that’s what…
