The Roundup: The Sonics Are Oklahoma-Bound
Barry Bonds, Baseball, College Football, Courts, Legal, ESPN, NBA, Olympics, Tennis July 3rd. 2008, 8:00am
Megan Fox, because we love her, and because she’s part of some absolutely useless trivia at the bottom of this post … Baron Davis already has a song dedicated to him by a Clippers fan … a small town is ticked off at the Washington Post … massive cuts coming at the LA Times … Christie Brinkley’s husband spent way too much money each month on internet “stuff” … fight crimes with text messages …. trading sex for gas… Shannen Doherty on the new 90210? … after the jump, a reader directs us to an uninhibited Bollywood actress named Mallika Sherawat …
Dan Shulman is one of the more underrated announcers at the WWL. (My HogTown)
The Dust Bowl Oklahoma is excited to get the Sonics after yesterday’s settlement. We’ll tackle this more after the holiday. (Oklahoman, Seattle Times)
Yes, yes, and yes. Read it all. (Joe Sports Fan)
The Bonds ball will be displayed at the HOF with an asterisk. (Dan Patrick.com)
Michigan RB Kevin Grady was busted for DUI. (Freep)
Joey Crawford got him a college degree. (Philly Daily News)

How A-Rod is like Canseco. (Blast Magazine Blogs)
Evander Holyfield may have to go to jail because he owes one of his baby mamas child support. (TMZ)
Staggeringly useless trivia: Brian Austin Green may be the only celebrity who has had three incredibly hot actresses etch his initials or some variation of his name onto their body via tattoo: Vanessa Marcil, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and Megan Fox. Yes, this makes David Silver the most unlikely lothario, yes, even more unlikely than Adam Duritz.

megan fox looking a little tranny-like there. but the boobies after the jump make up nicely. your 90210 link directed wrong.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:07 am
The Brinkley divorce stuff is just TMI–I’m sick of it already.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:09 am
cant wait for today to be over. i think ill make it a half day without telling the powers that be
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:14 am
powers to be are leaving here early today, stuck all day having to be in charge.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:14 am
blazers thinking about doing that myself…or “schedule” a meeting with someone far enough away it doesnt make sense to come back to the office
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 am
Roundup pictures have been severely disappointing recently (although the post-jump was nice). We need more Bilson.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:17 am
More Bilson you want? More Bilson you will get.
We’ll have about 8 posts today, and wrap things up around 2.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:18 am
PS - Dont care about Favre junk, so we’re skipping that
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:20 am
Thank you TBL. “I’m so done with” Favre. Freakin’ retire and STFU already.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:22 am
Bless you…
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 am
Enough with Brett Favre and Megan Fox.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:24 am
Dude pays hooker with a gas card.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:24 am
Olympics swimsuit/short shorts link no worky either.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:27 am
Not fair that the Land Thieves get to enjoy Durant. Sucks for Seattle.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:27 am
@CRM: Your point? It was in there.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
the Rich Rod program takes off with flying colors…
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
Marilyn Monroe on her body and David Silver in her body… I’m sorry, I can’t do it! I won’t!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
both links should work
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:30 am
@WhoDey - reading troubles
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:31 am
In fairness to RichRod, that dude was from the Lloyd Carr regime. Be patient though, Rodriguez will stock his team with plenty of douchebags (ala Chris Henry, Pacman Jones, Noel Devine) who will make fine future members of the penal system and/or Bengals.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:31 am
The actions re the Sonics yesterday didn’t come from the judge’s ruling. The parties settled out of court and Pechman accepted the settlement.
I’m a little saddened by the whole thing and am confused as to how the city can feel good about the opportunity to get a new team when Stern seems to be saying that they can have one as soon as they build a “state of the art” arena (didn’t they just build one 12 years ago??). The same thing Bennett was looking for. Either way it’s going to cost the city/state a boatload because I don’t see how anyone would be willing to privately finance a building without a rock solid guarantee of a tenant.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 am
@CRM - Yeah, that’ll happen
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 am
hey, don’t ruin the fun for me!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 am
thank god
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 am
412…didn’t jerry porter go to WVU also? he’s a class act.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 am
Yeah…though I think Porter may have pre-dated RichRod.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:35 am
Yeah, he was actually a Don Nehlen recruit.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 am
I just won a free Wii. Thanks, TBL!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 am
is that ad still fucking on? dammit jim
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:40 am
Whats going on with Brett Favre? What junk? Is something going on? COULD HE BE COMING BACK!?!?!?!?! OMG OMG JEOMK
/Stigs/Benji
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 am
Oh and TBL…for every Megan Fox photo I see she looks like a man more and more…I miss Kim K..I don’t care how much of Reggie’s pipe she takes..she was better than fucking Lucy Lawless Jr up there
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Oh man, #4 could be back, white ropes everywhere!!
FYI, i wish this would go away as well. no good will come from it cuz he won’t be back with the Packers. i don’t think i am stable enough to deal with him almost being back. or even wanting to be back but the team doesn’t want him. this would divide the state of WI into two camps for sure.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Seconded
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 am
Megan Fox looks hot when her tats are covered up. Any time I spot that monstrosity on her forearm I’m instantly disinterested.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am
i only got the Megan Fox picture. no pic after the jump? can someone paste the link?
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am
Megas Fox, severely overrated.
There’s a rumor that BHO is gay? Haven’t heard that one before.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:44 am
412…ah, my mistake, i didn’t think nehlen was still coaching that recently. still, Rich Rod is a douche.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:46 am
Douche is an overused word in the sports blogosphere but, occasionally no other word fits nearly as well…
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 am
Rich Rod is a douchebag, anyone that goes to Michigan is a douchebag, made for each other.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:47 am
You know how I know he’s gay? He listens to Coldplay.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 am
who is BHO? i only know D-HO but i doubt he’s gay.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 am
I prefer “Rich Rod is an asshat,” but I will defend to the death your right to call him a douche.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 am
actually, smarmy fits Rich Rod much better. i was watching Road House last night and there’s a scene where patrick swayze is buying a used car, and there’s that greasy ass, nasty used car salesman eating a sandwich…for some reason all i could relate that guy to was Rich Rod.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 am
next thing you know, Chris Simms is going to tattoo David Silver’s initials on his thigh.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
Suuuuuweeeeet, The Little Mermaid and I and our free Wii ‘ll be at the Marriott
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
sean jean, your point is seconded
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
Sparty, did you just call your brother a douchebag?
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:52 am
Dudes, dudes, dudes… that is all just like your opinion, man. Also Sparty when you are the little brother of a “douche” then what does that make you? A whiney baby who gets pounded quite frequently by a “douche”? I am just wondering BRAH! Where your Berkenstocks and long shorts Spartan fan… Totally like dude like yeah like basketball Brah! Awesomest!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
I was watching Flight of the Navigator last night and when that kid comes back and didn’t age and his sissy puke glasses wearing uber nerd freak younger (but now older) brother came in the scene all I could think about was Tressel… weird.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
Mags…lay of the Birkenstocks…man.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
Being the birthplace of Adam Duritz is Baltimore’s greatest shame. More than rampant crime, STDs, shitty schools, or Kyle Boller.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 am
“where”………. Thats the funniest thing I’ll read all day.
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 am
@spence
is that like fruit of the loom?
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:56 am
@phat
AHH shit!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 am
spencer - Not sure if I mentioned it here, but my officemate (sounds gay, I know) played for RichRod at some podunk school in WV years ago. Said he filled that team with any “thugs” with no consideration for anything beyond pumping out a few extra wins before he bolted that school…which, of course, he did shortly thereafter. I just think RichRod is a turdsandwich…this guy hates his fucking guts!
July 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 am
@Patphish- yes i did, and my sister. my brother is worse than all because he jumped on the celtic bandwagon, fucker…
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
Nice of MikeNYC picking up Fox News’ use of BHO for Obama. What is McCain’s middle name? Oh, that’s right, no one knows and no one cares because its not “Hussein”. Nothing like “fair and balanced”, right?
And Laura Bush has divorce papers prepared for January 21, 2009, also. I read it in The Star.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:01 am
412…sounds about right.
Mags…exactly.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:02 am
Just so we all got it straight. Your “douchebag” brother is a doctor who gets to hang with the Yankees and Giants, his new basketball team made your team there bitch, his college football team beats you year in and year out. Yup, hes a douchbag alright. But you have Izzo………and……..
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:02 am
this from a wolverine…Ann Arbor is the host of Hash Bash every April. lol. Please, we riot, you cannot riot in birkenstocks, not enough tread to keep oneself in place while helping others flip a cop car. BTW, welcome to the bottom half of the Big Ten, we will make some room for ya!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:02 am
This one guy I know from Pittsburgh said Mario Lemieux made a pass at him at this one bar one time, yeah it sounds gay and completely unsubstaintiated and probably made up I know, but I mean I just think he was over rated as a hockey player, but this guy hates his guts!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:04 am
You magnificent bastard clown, although I technically I believe the gov. stole the land, but the sooners crossed the border early to stake their claims.
Nice article by Imig. I don’t Deadspin, so I didn’t realize there was a week/day long circle jerk because some dude left, definition of lame.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 am
We have Izzo, enough said. Izzo rules.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 am
Mags - In a few years–after RichRod has your program on probation and has left to coach some third-tier NFL team–we can laugh about how you once thought he was the second coming of Bo.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:10 am
I never said he was, not once. There will never be another Bo. I for one dont bash a guy before he even coaches a game, but that is just me! You can do whatever you like! If he wins a NC at Michigan you will all just not comment about how terrible he is, I know how it works. Talk loud now and never be accountable for the words that spew from your mouth. Sounds so easy!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:12 am
You better hope there is never another Bo. Being only a good regular season team year after year, but failing to win the Rose Bowl or a national title can be frustrating.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:13 am
Yeah Sparty because being shitty at both is the ultimate goal right?
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 am
I’m not familiar with this concept.
Signed,
The internet
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am
We learned to live with it. Funny that we still have the same amount of NTs in the last 60 years as Michigan does….
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am
In football? or…?
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am
I met Izzo a couple of weeks ago. Nice guy for being a Sparty.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:16 am
in football…go look it up
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:17 am
see, Izzo rules.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 am
UM does have their .5 championship if that counts for anything
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:19 am
sparty - five minutes in the box for using an emoticon.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:19 am
Oh my God… I hate this fucking board.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 am
the truth hurts, don’t it Mags…
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 am
Whoa, Megan Fox is not overrated. Over exposed too soon, yes. But man is she hot
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 am
Yet you keep coming back every day….
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 am
sparty - five minutes in the box for using an emoticon.
+1 Clown
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:23 am
wait, thats right, we have more in the last 60 years! and our basketball team also didn’t have an entire ERA ripped out of the record books. Michigan=Douchebags.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 am
i didn’t know it would chance to one, fuck.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 am
@sparty
what in the fuck are you talking about? Your team gets beaten by us every single year. Does that hurt? No because you drown your sorrows in your fucking basketball team. Great, go cheer for whoever is good and fuck the other sports because they suck ass. Great. It DOESN’T hurt beating Spartan ass year in and year out, no.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:24 am
I’m just glad Michigan players avoid the trouble that plagues tOSU scourges. Driving drunk is fun!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 am
at least we can all take solace in the fact that we all beat notre dame.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:26 am
Especially when you do it for the tenth time!
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:31 am
nah, doesn’t hurt as much when you know its coming, we still cheer for them anyway and have hope. but it kills you when we pull one out of our asses…we don’t just completely desert a program. I love how Michigan fans just fluffs off how bad their basketball program has become. A big thank you to Fab Five for ruining an entire sports program. and please we drown our sorrows in drinking and rioting, we are much healthier than waiting til the end of november…
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:47 am
Shulman is definitely underrated, glad to see that pointed out.
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:03 am
Wow, Megan Fox sure looks like Chyna in this picture.
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 am
Agreed with many of the above. Enough with Megan Fox already.
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:27 am
1. Rough times for Seattle. The Sonics’ franchise is leaving and Starbucks is starting its decline.
2. All I’m going to say is I’m not a fan of those pictures.
3. Since TBL isn’t touching on the Favre subject, I’ve got five reasons Favre should leave Green Bay alone.

Brian Austin-Green has to be the gayest straight guy ever, I don’t care who he’s bagged.
