We’ll be doing a full-post on this Monday, but if you look at this USA team basketball photo, it’s all strange because Dwight Howard’s adidas logos had to be covered. The shoe companies have won. (Sports Biz)
My goodness these racist and sexist allegations against NASCAR are frightening. (Red Lasso)
Late add: Linda Cohn’s got a book out, and she talks about walking out on her husband after 28 years of marriage. (USA Today)

Jessie Helms has died (per CNN). His wiki has not been updated.

what kind of jerk off calls a black person my N? I have done it, but I’m guessing my relationship with myfriend was a lot stronger than whoever was walking around acting like they were in a rap video or something

if anyone hears that annoying ad today, please let me know.
on the docket: Hancock and Wanted, followed by food and fireworks.
July 4th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Just heard the Wii ad.
July 4th, 2008 at 11:23 am
No Wii ad yet today but Billy Wagner has already thrown his first “Unable to establish Database connection” balk
July 4th, 2008 at 11:26 am
Happy 4th my niggas!
(Wii ad just popped me)

Hernandez must have told him he was tired of him for years.
July 4th, 2008 at 11:42 am
“Should I get into a fight with Jose Reyes? Come on! I’m Keith Hernandez! Just go for it.”
July 4th, 2008 at 11:52 am
@TBL: Please don’t go see Hancock today. Please. Make a good decision about movies for once in your life.

@ CRM: are you watching UFC 86 or live blogging it? I have to follow the live blogs closely, so if your not, I’m watching via the Fan House live blog.
By the way, what do you think the odds of Rampage wearing his Apollo Creed-esque American Flag shorts are?

I just won free Bridgestone Tires for my car.
July 4th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I’ll be in no state to live-blog this fight. I’m too excited.

anyone watching the Nathans hot dog contest. These announcers need to be doing that stupid show wipeout. Its all about the commentary. Thats what made MXC so brilliant
July 4th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
What the Kristy Lee Cook is going on here?
July 4th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
It’s not about the size of the hot dog in the fight. It’s about the size of the fight in the hot dog.
July 4th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
A Five Dog Eat-Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing typifies America more than Competitive Eating.

Good thing Bud Selig isn’t the commissioner.

About the Dwight Howard cover-up, you can clearly see a Nike Swoosh on his right shoulder. If Nike would have wanted to properly conceal his logos, they would have arranged them by height ascending and have him hold the ball in his right hand to cover up the swoosh on his shorts, and place his right foot back far enough that it’s out of the frame.

Anyone see Maxim’s top ten worst announcers? NO mention of Buck or McCarver. Chip Carey as 3 (understandable) but Chris Berman at 1, I dont think he even announces games.

Super Bowl XLII has now been bumped to #2 on the list of best sporting events of 2008
America…FUCK YEAH!
July 4th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
just finished wolfing down the fruits of my labor: grilled italian sausages and grilled corn on the cob (first time i tried it and will certainly do so again).
now, off to select beach bars to gawk and then fireworks.

Did anyone actually tell Imig,that he’d have the reins?
July 4th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
just got back … very fun movie. good times. a solid 90 mins of entertainment.
2 FNL characters were thrown into the mix, which was an added bonus

You’re right about the NASCAR allegations TBL. I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten it’s own post. If there is one thing NASCAR should fear, it’s that Mauricia Grant is a credible witness. Her pain is difficult to hear — hard not to empathize with her.
I expect NASCAR to settle this lawsuit and admit no wrong doing. Disappointing and predictable to be sure, but that’s the way these things usually end.
Will NASCAR use this opportunity to change their culture? They’re trying to do it now — with mixed results — and it’s upsetting their long-time fans. From Brian France’s previous statements, I’m not sure they’re willing to change their behavior. I hope I’m wrong.

I dont know Jimmy, but does he think this is his facebook headline?
July 4th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
CRM, just got back from Get Smart. Disappointed. Too much slap-stick/little kid humor. Plot was weak, too many things left unexplained. And only good preview was for Batman, which I’ve seen 500 times (though the 501st leaves me just as excited)
@TBL, how was Wanted since you seemed to have liked Hancock.
July 4th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
I just won another Wii when I’m not getting Wagnered.

I’m thinking we really need to do a bake sale to benefit the Big Lead Server Fund.

The “special” brownies get the best price.
