This is a singer named Cassie, who turns 22 next month, and we’re such huge fans now, we probably need to send a gift … 23 shots of vodka in 30 minutes will kill you … if you’re an American reading this in Germany, watch your back … the definition of bringing everything but the kitchen sink …Traina talks to a blog … kind of messed up if you ask us … who is going to explain to teens that Grand Theft Auto is a video game, and that shit won’t fly in real life? …

23 shots in 30 minutes? Yep, Darwin is alive and well.

People don’t like Danica Patrick because she complains after every race about something or someone. Look here, that’s racing. Crap happens sometimes, get over it. All this does is make us less likely to listen to you when you have a legitimate gripe.
/Probably the only one on here who actually follows open wheel racing.

Every year I hope to make the Best Dressed list and every year no one invites me. It’s like I bought that mauve pinstriped suit for nothing.
June 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Um, and because he’s accused of beating somebody to death. That too, dumbass.
Sorry, TBL, not buying it. Your original post called the photo “iconic” (ha!) and noted Leinart’s supposed “precipitous fall from grace.” Leave the man alone!

The Pacific Coast Highway owes Pete Carroll a new car

in a strip club no less.
in tampa! imagine.

Hey everyone…here is a retraction to the made up Ike Davis story from yesterday…it’s from Metsblog
June 27th, 2008 at 9:01 am
I’m still in shock over the stupid, stupid courtney lee pick that Orlando made. Fucking idiots. They already have enough guards that are short, can shoot and can’t play defense. They needed a fucking point guard that can play defense, or they needed to go big. Now they’ve got to find someone to take Reddick and find a way to win with Jameer Nelson lettnig the other team run wild.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:03 am
@sandibalz- he will come right in and play. SVG said during his interview that Lee is not a “get his own” type player. I watched him play in the NCAA in Tampa and thought he was good.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:04 am
just read that Mayo and Love have been traded. Minnesota gets Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Brian Cardinal and Jason Collins.
Memphis gets OJ Mayo, Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric and Greg Buckner
June 27th, 2008 at 9:04 am
They should feed those stupid ass teens 23 shots of vodka in 30 minutes for thinking they could go on a GTA inspired crime spree and get away with it.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Love Cassie. There are hotter pics of her, but cot damn she’s one of the best.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Nick - this girl walks into a bar in this outfit and every male is turning and staring. and probably cautiously approaching.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Brian Cardinal is still in the league? wow, him and Erik Piatkowski are bench legends
AL Jefferson and Kevin Love sounds nice to me
June 27th, 2008 at 9:09 am
The beer bongs were being consumed with underage girls, no? Didn’t one of Chris Henry’s many arrests involve buying booze for underage girls?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Sure he’s not a get his own and I have no doubt that he is a decent player, but, damn, they suck on defense. They actually make the suns look like overachievers. They could have gone with Chris Douglas-Roberts, Darrel Arthur and those are just two that I know can play defense night in and night out, and they don’t hurt you on offense either.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:10 am
@TBL: I agree with all that. You could’ve shown more skin though. She deserves to be shown in her best light.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:11 am
The only confirmation that ever came out was that all the girls were over 21. This was the most overblown story of the offseason by far. Fucking stupid.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Link?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 am
We’ll never get why a few beer bongs in the offseason, at his house, got everyone worked about about Matt Leinart.
Everyone has overreacted to it, but it’s a little more understandable because the pictures showed probably illegal activity and played into the one criticism of him going into the draft: did he want to be a Pro-Bowler or a playboy?
Thank God for Kevin McHale… I nearly had a stroke thinking about Love coming to Memphis, plus we’ll get sweet, sweet salary space next year thanks to Walker.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Love will fit right in in Minnesota. They’re crazy about white guys at the Target Center. Didn’t Wally World get more love than KG at one point up there?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:20 am
@clown. They do love the whities up in Minnesota. I went to a game back in the day and people would go crazy when Tom Gugliata (sp) would come in. Hell, he even had his own song, “That’s what I like about Googs.”
June 27th, 2008 at 9:20 am
@ Mike: Here’s your link
June 27th, 2008 at 9:21 am
this is going to be a great deal for the T’Wolves. Getting Mike Miller too is a sweet part of it.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:25 am
@sparty: Mike Miller is sweet. I’m worried about their interior defense. Are they going to play Love-Jeff at 4-5? Yikes.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Im glad Mike Miller is off the Magic. I cant stand that guy
@nick p- JJ Hickson?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Nick, what’s wrong with Love’s defense?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:31 am
it’ll be interesting to see how they matchup defensively, but they should be able to put the rock in the basket.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Miller is a good, not great, player, but he’s the best citizen in the community you could ask for: he just won a community work award for his fundraising and donations helping St. Jude’s Hospital. I wish him the best of luck in Minny.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Miller’s solid as fuck. irish: If you still had him, you wouldn’t have had to sign Rashard, that’s for sure.
JJ Hickson? I don’t know. He’s probably fine. I’m just happy they didn’t take Koufos.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:37 am
@clown: I love what he did there. Wasn’t afraid to take the
teabagcharge.June 27th, 2008 at 9:50 am
@August: How ’bout the Grizz actually making some noise! Mayo, Arthur, and Antoine Walker to the Grizz!? There is a good chance they may win thier first playoff game sometime in the next couple of years.
/exact quote from me after their second pick in the draft, “shit.”
June 27th, 2008 at 9:51 am
DAMN.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Re: Mike Miller - regardless of how elated the Memphis fanse are to see the trades actually work in their favor, the biggest loss will be to St. Jude’s. Miller (and Pau Gasol too) were huge supporters and donators of time and money to the kids at St. Jude’s. I’m sure the gains for Grizz b-ball will be outweighed in some way by the intangible losses of Miller and Gasol.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:05 am
@ mizerle06:getting Mayo is HUGE… finally a scorer with serious star potential, plus Mark Gasol in almost guaranteed to be onboard. Plus we’ll get some Adriana Lima showing up!
June 27th, 2008 at 10:15 am
@august: Is Marc Gasol as soft/softer than big bro around the basket or does he play to his size? Don’t know much about the kid other than he’s tall and was pretty good in Europe.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:22 am
With whats goin’ on there up top it looks like Cassie should go by “Puffy.”
June 27th, 2008 at 11:15 am
He’s supposed to be more defensive oriented, with an improving offensive game and a wider body (also stands 7′1″). He was MVP of the Spanish league last year and grew up/played high school ball in Memphis.
He should push, and hopefully beat out, Darko for the starting Center spot.
June 27th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I want to go to Josh Howard’s pool party and “chill”
June 27th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Being a fashion ICON myself… OJ “I got your Mayo” Mayo was Shitty-Sharp. That young man has style indeed and E.G. & JB was killing it with their NBA attire.
I’m so glad that OJ didn’t stay in Minny (Straight-Garbage Ass Town). Him and Rudy are going to be wreck ALOT of NBA back-courts.
