PM Roundup: Benson Has his Own Breathalyzer, and T-Mac’s Child Support
Golf, Movies, NBA, NFL, NHL June 23rd. 2008, 3:25pm
Sex with a table will get you six months in jail. We saw Awake this weekend – surprisingly decent – thus Mrs. Alba.
A judge orders Cedric Benson’s car to have a breathalyzer installed. There’s a joke to be made here about how Devin Hester’s sittin’ on 20s, right? (Statesman)
T-Mac ordered to pay $54,000 a year in child support, much less than the 200k his baby mama had asked for. Unrelated: My brother saw T-Mac in Nevis last week, and apparently, McGrady has a sick boat, and was friendly to everyone. (Herald Tribune)
LeBatard will love this clowning of golf. (Onion)
Another guy who refuses to see Love Guru, even though it stars Jessica Alba. (Bloody Good Horror)
Poor Dolan – first Isiah and now this. (Globe and Mail)
Good read on a newspaper guy running through an NBA draft workout. (NYT)
Blogger bumps into Darren McFadden getting his chicken gizzards on in Fayetteville. (Friends of the Program)
Philly’s Andre Miller talks to a blog. (Starting Five)

Love Guru did terrible at the box office, was happy to see that.
TBL, I don’t get why you like McGrady, dude is completely overrated and an assclown to boot.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Wait, is he implying that people were going to see The Love Guru?
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I saw Kung Fu Panda and it very enjoyable.

at least he had the smarts to have sex with a metal table. the splinters from wooden tables hurt.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
i love me some gizzards.

When is the Imus post coming?
What a fool.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
agreed.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Get Smart was pretty good, I enjoyed it at least.
incar breathalyzers suck…my friend had one, you have to pull over every hour and blow again to keep your car running. Really stunts road trips, and if you drink the night before, you can’t start your car until roughly 12 hours after your last drink if you were boozing hard.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Dahhhhhhhh, what did Imus do now?
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I liked the ridiculous one they had in 40 year old virgin where it was all colorful and spelled out.
June 23rd, 2008 at 3:50 pm
TBL we know you have questionable taste in TV shows and some movies, but Awake? Seriously? That was an awful awful movie.

RE T Mac
He makes $21 million a year. More money than his baby mom will ever see in her lifetime. Was she asking for a lot? $200,000 is a lot for child support. But all she wanted was to give her child the same life as T Mac gives his current kids.
T Mac spends $5 grand a month for a chef. What is it with the Rockets being cheap? First Yao and his $70 K contribution and now TMac stiffing his baby moms

Cortes, where has Lebby been for the last few days?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:03 pm
@ superjakrs: Kun-Fu Panda was funny as hell… saw it in a double feature at the drive-in a few weeks ago.

I saw D-Mac last week here in Fayetteville as well, but it was at backyard burger. But Mama Deans where he was pictured above is the shizz.

benji, the producer of the show said he, lebby, and some old college buddies were going on a trip over the weekend and the show is supposed to be back on air thursday
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Imus was never funny. The Rutgers women’s hoops controversy made him appear more relevant than he really was/is. He’s a piece of shit, but some people took pity on him when even bigger pieces of shit such as Al Sharpton used him to further their useless careers.
I don’t think anyone will take such pity on Imus this time around. Say sayonara to a tired, wretched no-talent.

does anyone know if you have one of those in-car brethalyzer thingees…if you get someone sober to blow in your thingee, and you get pulled over and show them your thingee, can you get a ticket?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:12 pm
arkbadger…ya’ll got Chicken Express over there?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Although i don’t know from experience, i would have to think you can still get a ticket if you’re driving the car drunk even if a sober person blew in the thing.
what did Imus do or say this time?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
What the hell did Imus do?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
@spencer. Can’t say I’ve heard of that one, but I would expect it soon. There is a stretch of road that has at least 7 or 8 chicken places within a 2 mile stretch.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Fat, drunk and stupid are no way to go through life, son.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:20 pm
arkbadger…werd, if you ever come across one, they have these awesome deep fried chicken livers. gotta try em.
imus made a racist comment on air when talking about pacman. he asked what race he was, his producer said black, and imus said, “figures.” something like that.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:28 pm
I can’t find anything on the Imus thing…where are you guys getting this?

Aha. Now this is the kind of discourse I came here for. Listen. Jessica Alba is no reason to pay good money to see a movie. The Love Guru looked so bad, that even the people who like Mike Myers movies avoided it this weekend.
I say hell yes.
I’ve got a better and more tangental quandary. Let’s say your teenage child is on his/her learners permit, and you are too drunk to drive. Can your teenager legally drive you as the sole, legal-yet-drunk passenger?
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:37 pm
@mingus: absolutely. sober is safer!!
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Dick Enberg’s earlier today was bad
Ok, I know what Imus did, what did Dick Enberg do?

Until you show me your tax records evidencing high percentage gifts to the charity of your choice… kindly STFU, Irish.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:48 pm
@grunge- lol, Yao still sucks
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:53 pm
In an unrelated note..Mad Dog is by himself today and possibly forever…he is breaking down the Lincoln assassination like it is a ballgame..including calling John Wilkes Booth a Massachusetts looney tune..and giving Pres Garfield a bad job for walking the streets of Washington 17 years after Lincoln’s assassination by himself.

I saw Love guru this weekend (what else did you want me to see it was 100 degress all weekend, I don’t have AC in my house, get off my back already) it was okay, I laughed a few times. I wouldn’t recommend it to a movie snob.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:09 pm
good riddance to the mike and the mad dog program, give joe benigno and someone else the afternoon slot, the ratings will obviously take a huge hit however the quality of the show will skyrocket, hell you could leave the 660/YES network blank from 1-6 and the quality of the show would go up.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:09 pm
A drunk mother had her toddler blow for her and got pulled over…so yes, yes yes you can get a ticket. I know my friend wouldn’t let anyone blow for him because if he got caught, the penalty is tremendous (you have to rent the thing for $70 a month plus an initial $500 charge…plus insurance increase, lawyers fees, and court costs/fines, he’s spent at least 6k on that ticket. Lesson to be learned: don’t drive if you’re going to blow a .22).
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Recc4, advertisers care about ratings, not show quality, hence radio programmers care what advertisers think.
June 23rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
this is common knowledge cbh, however WFAN blows their competition away in the tri-state area(ESPN 1050). The station is too strong to take that much of a ratings hit and i really believe that. It has one of the strongest signals of any station in the country (Can be heard in the Carolinas and clear in Boston and even farther). WFAN is backed by CBS so $$$ is not an issue, and besides, i’m not tuning into Drive Time with Michael Kay on 1050 and neither are most of the other WFAN listeners. (it’s bad enough i have to listen to him call 100+ yankees games. The advertisers will be there
June 23rd, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Hey TBL, have you heard about the Shaq rap against Kobe, Kareem, Ewing, etc? Also, does your reasoning of Kim K not being hot apply to Jessica Alba? Does this mean she’s not hot any more?
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
give that fresno st baseball team some love damnit!!!!
