Remember like a decade ago when Denise Richards was in Wild Things? Some guy was watching it on DVD next to us on a plane last night, and we felt compelled to bring her back one last time, since her career is obviously over … is this a nice way of saying Heather Locklear is in rehab? … now they’re kicking autistic toddlers off of airplanes … hello, Ali Larter … this might come in handy, especially if your fantasy team is as injured as ours … no clue if they’ll have offspring, but they’d likely produce an athlete … if you’re the writer who messed up the Spygate story, are you concerned? … pot permitted in airport smoking lounges in Colorado? …

Keith Olbermann is a jackass of the highest degree.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Worth noting……Jeff Samardzija was promoted to AAA last night and made his debut for the Iowa Cubs.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:07 am
That female ump throws people out like a girl - she needs to work on her form.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:08 am
The logo for Slumpbuster is all wrong. You’d need to add about 50 pounds before you get anywhere near slumpbuster territory.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Jason Giambi is upset at being compared to a State Trooper (although he respects the hard work they do for the community).
Does he look like a cat to you boy? Is he jumpin’ around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Is he drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE HIM EATING MICE?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Not a huge fan of Ali Larter, but she definitely ruined any future bikini/swimsuit shots by donning the whipped cream bikini so early in her career.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:10 am
still think Jeff Samardzija shoulda went to the NFL. Second coming of easy-ed mcaffrey.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:11 am
I love how the NCAA is determined to make sure college baseball is lily white with the new rule forcing coaches to spread out their 11.7 scholarships over 30 players.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:14 am
@Rothelis - The only thing possibly ruined when a hot chick dons a whipped cream bikini is my boxer shorts
June 25th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Denise Richards is still a looker. DUI Sambora is one lucky man
June 25th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Giambi looks line a 70’s porn star now..
June 25th, 2008 at 8:17 am
was Denise Richards career over with Starship Troopers when she didn’t show us her chest but Lucinda Nicholson did? or when someone had the great idea of casting her as a rocket scientist in James Bond?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:17 am
She isn’t with Sambora now..all she does is be a psycho ex-wife to Charlie Sheen now..
June 25th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Giambi’s stache reminds me of this former yankee great
June 25th, 2008 at 8:27 am
G-Girl - I think Denise has a reality show on E! now (desperately clutching to man card to prevent revocation).
June 25th, 2008 at 8:28 am
1. Those Portis costumes are great. Even though I’m in DC and am not a true fan of the Skins or Wiz, we have two of the most interesting characters in Portis and Arenas. Funny stuff.
2. I just know the Heat are going to take Mayo, and I’m going to curse. It’s like Brady Quinn and Ted Ginn all over again. Beasley is the obvious choice, yet my team is going to totally shit the bed for no reason at all.
3. That Giambi picture/comparison is gold.

@sparty
Sal Fasano would like a word.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Denise Richards’ pictorial is the only Playboy I’ve ever actually bought. Granted - I grew up with a guy whose dad had every Playboy since like 1954, but still…I think she’s pretty amazing.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Sal Fasono was the oldest player to ever start a game for the Yankees when he caught the second game of a double header last August at the tender age of 300.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Denise Richards fell off after finishing the underrated classic Undercover Brother.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Purdue Matt, where ya been?
As for Denise Richards, Wild Things has to be one of the most underappreciated movies of the 90s.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Who is Miami going to swap spots with, the Grizzlies? Ugh, nobody wants to see Beasley go to Memphis.
Seattle should try to move up — him and Durant in Seattle/Oklahoma?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Irish, you will LOVE THIS:
Probably try to do a full post later if time permits …

2. Dwight H
3. Kobe
June 25th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Shot-blocking, physically intimidating, attack-the-rim centers are hard to come by. Actually, outside of Howard, they are nearly impossible. As he proved this past season in Orlando, Howard is capable of dominating even with undersized help.
i didnt leave 10,000 Dwight Howard comments in Ballin ‘08 for nothing
June 25th, 2008 at 8:57 am
D-Ho comments left: irishmafia :: women slept with:Wilt Chamberlain
June 25th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Irish -
What did you think of Ron Jeremy…err… Stan Van getting into Howard’s kitchen last year? I thought it was a very bold move that seemed to get the big fella playing like he was pissed instead of floating.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:59 am
/:).
June 25th, 2008 at 9:00 am
anyone who read the pot in Denver airport articles…did you see the second comment?
“C. Norris I always smoke pot before a flight, and I’m a pilot.”
that’s some funny stuff.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:01 am
@wally- i like Stan the Man. Remember that was his Miami Heat team that Riley took over mid-season and won the title with. I didnt like it at the time it happened, but it worked out for the better. Stan can get it done as a coach
June 25th, 2008 at 9:02 am
@sparty- who got you to comment from that series? give some credit when its due
June 25th, 2008 at 9:03 am
no doubt, you called me out when it began. you and your damn weather report.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I’d much rather have Stan back than Riley. He was great.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Apparently, Olbermann has a source in the Post, as in the last two weeks, he broke the Page Six stories on him on his show the day before they were to run, and countered everything written in them with his side of the story. The first story was about the successor to Russert, saying he really was posturing for the job, and he denied it profusely the day before. For this one, Olbermann said last night that he went to Starbucks at the Kennedy Center, and it would be rather gross to have ketchup with coffee.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Now that is a story that needed to be broken!
June 25th, 2008 at 9:09 am
And oh yeah, Keith said he did not take the train; he took a car service to DC.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:13 am
But was Page 6 the “worst person in the world” again?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Page 6 is so poorly written and edited that it embarrasses the pigeons who use it as daily urinal cakes.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:18 am
The same is true for the whole rag, but Page 6 especially.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:19 am
@TBL: I was going to threadjack the political post yesterday with that Mannix article when I saw Irish’s boy #2, but by that time a new post came up and I moved on
June 25th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Also, your favorite chicago Sports host has not been renewed after 16 years at the Score:

I make sure to catch O’Reilly’s show during the first half hour and Olberman during the second half hour. Olbermann has really found a audience in going after the right wingers. I think he’s way too vitriolic, but his commentaries our must watch TV, if for no other reason than to watch him get angry.
It’s also pretty entertaining to see him go after the Factor and the Post on a nightly basis (with some Lou Dobbs thrown in there).
June 25th, 2008 at 9:45 am
TBL I can’t believe you are referencing the Mannix article.
This is the same guy who wrote a soccer story that you posted a link to him getting ripped to shreds. Who cares who he would take first in an NBA fantasy draft. His opinion means bupkus.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:47 am
His opinion means bupkus.
why is he working for Sports Illustrated?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Didn’t Jenn Sterger also work for SI? Should we value her opinion as well?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Yeah seriously, so Chris Mannix says he would take LeBron and Howard over Kobe and I am supposed to care?
I don’t take what ESPN or SI tell me as the gospel.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Besides he is a lousy writer which TBL posted a link to two days ago.
So either he is a lousy writer or we should value his opinion, which is it?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:54 am
i would value her opinion more than yours that is for sure. What opinion does Clown have? lets see what jokes i can make off of other peoples comments. I gave you that nickname for a reason
June 25th, 2008 at 9:59 am
gilbert gottfried is on stern right now
that dude is HILARIOUS
June 25th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Glad I can’t listen or else I would have to blow my brains out.
The highest form of torture would be being locked in a room with him and Fran Drescher and having to listen to them talk.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Gottfried’s last CD was classic: about 55 jokes that were almost all under a minute, and then one hilarious, 25 minute version of he Aristocrats joke to end it all… it made the last bit so much more vile because the format got you used to quick moving jokes, then just made you wallow in that ungodly description forever.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Why do you guys post Page Six material as fact? The story is made up, just like everything else is in the Post. Christ, you live in NYC, you should know better.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:14 am
There’s no prank call like Dice Gottfried calling the gay bathhouse. Hysterical!
June 25th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Gilbert is only funny when he’s doing Dice Gottfried. Dracula Gottfried has to be the dumbest character ever.
And I would still eat Denise Richards’ toe jam.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:22 am
You have a serious problem if you start believing Page Six garbage.
That doesn’t even look like Denise Richards. Looks like Shakira’s face on someone else’s body.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Olberman seems like he’s wound waaaaay too tight. At some point, he’ll take hostages.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
ouch
did she stumble into some bad lighting?
June 25th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Yeah, I’m going to agree with the staffer and say that the Page Six report on Olbermann is crap. And I’m not defending him because he’s a Cornell alum. I’m defending him because he’s a WVBR-FM alum.
