The Roundup: From Sonics to Thundercats?
Athlete Wives, Baseball, College Basketball, Courts, Legal, Drugs, Golf, Media Gossip/Musings, Soccer, Tennis, Video July 10th. 2008, 8:00am
A reader suggested Roselyn Sanchez, and until yesterday, we had no clue who she was. Enjoy the jump … Tony Romo, wearing a picnic table for a shirt, sang at Jessica Simpson’s 28th birthday party … would have been sweet if they included Leinart in this walk of shame video (via Hot Clicks) … economists are front-runners, too … Dane Cook’s dog’s poop problem … 50 seconds in, the fat boy gets busy … Deion and Pacman in an old commercial … live within your means, people … tomorrow at this time, we’ll either be the proud owner of a new iphone, or very depressed we got up at 5 a.m. to try and buy one …
Made passing of it yesterday, but yes, it’s awful that Nadal is getting mentioned in any steroid discussion. (Fanhouse)
Sorry, there is no way they become the Oklahoma City THUNDERCATS. (Grab your Balls)
Speaking of Oklahoma: This woman had sex with many dogs. (Oklahoman)
The second paragraph is why we’ve never gone hunting, and don’t plan to without some serious heat. (Washington Post)
An ode to the Tribe’s fantastic pitching depth. (Dump Casey Blake)
We could read about Shawn Kemp all day. (Tremendous Upside Potential)
Maybe Tiger not in the Ryder Cup is a good thing? (Monozygotic)
How a fierce T-Mac dunk was the beginning of the end for James Felton. (ESPN the Mag)
This brutal economy is even hurting the adult film industry. (Tampa Trib)
A-Rod’s wife talks; two muscular women do, too. (NY Post)
No wonder LeBatard left the Herald? (Gawker)

Yes, Yes, and Yes
July 10th, 2008 at 8:08 am
ah, early morning delights. i thank you.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:11 am
I dont think MLS would have any jurisdiction over this, as it was a US Open Cup match and that leaves it in the hands of the USSF. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it all except a suspension for Blanco beginning with next years Open Cup.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:13 am
I thought the Thundercats were a cartoon from back in the day
July 10th, 2008 at 8:14 am
She must work out.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Does it matter what they call the OKC team? They are still, officially, the shittiest owned team in the NBA right now. As I type this I am actually beginning to hate Stern even more for letting a friend steal an NBA team from Seattle. I don’t even have a rooting interest in the Sonics, but it’s still shitty.
Thanks for the wake up pics, good wat to start the day.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Rosalyn is incredible – been a fan for a while now.
OK City could play the “Thunder… Thundercats HOOO!!” thing during games though.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:17 am
snarf!
July 10th, 2008 at 8:19 am
sparty, forgot to say, that link cracked me the F up.
it’s going to lead tomorrow’s roundup. you’re the man
July 10th, 2008 at 8:22 am
great article on felton, really a good read
July 10th, 2008 at 8:23 am
much appreciated.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I still have no idea who Roselyn Sanchez is (nor do I care), but I did burn 10 minutes paging through Google images of her. I think this one has most captured my imagination.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:25 am
It’s awful…but let’s talk about it some more.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:28 am
what can i say
it’s love
July 10th, 2008 at 8:31 am
does kate moss still have it?
did she ever?
discuss.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:34 am
she only did to her fellow heroin addicts and johnny depp (and at that time he mostly likely was one of them)
July 10th, 2008 at 8:35 am
TBL – Regaring Kate Moss, a thousand times no. If you’re into chicks that look like 12 year-old boys (commenter note: I’m not) Kate Moss is for you. Randy Moss is roughly as attractive to me (commenter note: I also find Randy Moss to be repugnant).
July 10th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I hope Dane Cook gets evicted. I hate it when people dont pick up dog shit.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:36 am
karen fillipelli…..nice
July 10th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Unless “it” = cocaine addiction and loser boyfriends, then no, Kate Moss never had it.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Dear Ms. Sanchez,
Por favor, apenas la extremidad. Pido de usted.
Gracias,
Mr. Sanchez
July 10th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I hope Dane Cook gets evicted.
/fixed
July 10th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I think Kate Moss gets bonus points for not giving a fuck what anybody thinks, partying hard, and generally rocking out at all times. Plus never turning down a topless photo shoot. I don’t think any of us would be kicking her out of bed. Also sexy British accent.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:39 am
she is complete BOOM in that last pic!
July 10th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Dear Ms. Sanchez,
Me gustarÃa bañarse mi cabeza calva en petróleo y frotar todo el cuerpo.
(I would like to dip my bald head in oil and rub it all over your body)
July 10th, 2008 at 8:43 am
I am shocked and overcome with consternation that they didn’t add the ability to at least receive picture messages to the new iPhone. WTF? I had a phone in 2001 that could do this.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:44 am
viewmymessage.com is a worthless piece of shit that never fucking works.
Ok I’m done. Calming down now…
July 10th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Some pretty piss poor verb conjugation, 412, but I’ll let it slide.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Look, I know no one likes the WWL, but the oddest thing is happening. It’s like someone gave ESPN TBL’s old server. ESPN.com is not working and not accessible. It’s driving me crazy. All I want is to see who won the games last night and check the standings.
Oh well, I guess there is only 13 other sites I can check.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I guess I shouldn’t rely upon Babelfish if I travel abroad and want to make disgusting comments to women. When I typed in “Please, just the tip. I beg of you” I got one thing, but when I translated that from Spanish to English it came back as “Please, as soon as the extremity. I ask of you.”
Perhaps I should stick to more internationally recognized gestures.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Agreed. And my shitty Razr can shoot (awful) video, which baffles the mind why Apple wouldn’t include a video camera with the phone. I’d get it for $200 because I’m without an iPod at the moment, but I’m not “eligible” to upgrade and there’s no chance I’m paying $400 for it.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Love the pixs!
That Felton asticle was really good…his wife said it right at the end…
July 10th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Nick – I actually just pasted that from a web-based translator. Based on my recollection of Spanish from ~ 17 years ago, I’m guessing the use of “frotar” is incorrect?
/Barack is embarassed by my error.
//Barack Obama also does not speak Spanish.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Couldn’t agree more.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:53 am
fixed*
July 10th, 2008 at 8:53 am
so its awful when there is no PED evidence against someone gets mentioned in the discussion, but you can write an article called ‘is dana torres using PEDs or not?’ ….. hypocrite
July 10th, 2008 at 8:53 am
@Mike, is it $200 with or without an upgrade? That doesn’t seem right.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:55 am
you could slap the apple logo on a plastic phone filled with candy and people would still buy it in droves
July 10th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I’ve seen that garbage that happened at the Herald before. Company hires Indians to save money. Indians turn out to be incompetent. Company hires more Indians, figuring three should be able to do the work of one. Quality of work declines, cost savings virtually non-existent. Company re-hires qualified American at 70% of original salary. Hooray global economy.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Matt Jones did his best Chris Henry impersonation last night here in Fayetteville. Arrested for possesion of controlled substance.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:57 am
I really did like the Tribe before this season as well. Still smarting from that pick…
July 10th, 2008 at 9:00 am
412 doesn’t care about Latino people.
/Barack
July 10th, 2008 at 9:02 am
can’t really blame you. they had two front line pitchers, a young powerful lineup. the injuries killed them.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:06 am
US Ryder Cup is WAY WAY WAY WAY better off without Tiger. Tiger is great and everything, but unless he’s paired with one of his hand-picked buddies, he doesn’t play well…because he’s an asshole.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Spence doesn’t care about Cablinasian people.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:07 am
With the upgrade (or if you’re a new customer.) But if you’re already an AT&T customer (who doesn’t own the original iPhone) and you’re not eligible yet to get the subsidized price, you pay $400.
They told me I had to wait until May 2009. Thanks, AT&T, for rewarding new customers but screwing over existing ones that have been with you for 10 years.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:10 am
My buddy has a shirt that says I party like Kate Moss. It’s always well received by fellow bar patrons.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I always hear people bitching about AT&T’s coverage. Is it that bad? I’d hate to get a fancy cell phone that I couldn’t actually make a call from.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:15 am
yet another thing that’s T-Mac’s fault?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:16 am
@Mike NYC. I’ve been with AT&T for a couple years now. I quickly realized that they made all their money exactly how you just explianed it. I got a new phone from insurance a couple months ago, and last month after it fell apart they told me I could pay another $50 to get another new one on insurance, or renew my contract for another 2 years and get a shitty phone for free!! Assholes.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I always hear people bitching about AT&T’s coverage. Is it that bad?
i dont think so. I have been with Cigular/ AT&T for over 6 years
July 10th, 2008 at 9:17 am
No mention of Jesse Jackson wanting to cut Obama’s nuts out?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:17 am
matt – WHAT?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:18 am
ps – AT&T rules. by far the best.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:20 am
it all depends on where you live
July 10th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Well, in Manhattan, ever cell phone service is pretty good. It’s not the reception I have the problem with, it’s the (two times per year) I use their customer service.
Oh come on TBL, it’s posted on the front of Drudge for 15 hours.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:21 am
You poor, poor soul. I wonder how much of your personal data AT&T has given out over the years…the government probably has all your call logs for the last 7 years.
I’ll never get an Iphone until Apple goes multi-carrier.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:23 am
jesse jackson accused obama for talking down to black people
July 10th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I’m with Mike on this one. AT&t’s coverage is great. Shit, I live in Arkansas and can get coverage pretty much everywhere. But like he said, their customer service is crap.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Mike…I never read drudge or any of those (right or left) news gathering things…does Jesse actualy want to rip Obama’s nuts off..or just tamper him in some political way…number 1 would be a lot cooler
July 10th, 2008 at 9:24 am
TBL, That hiking story isn’t that bad. The worst part is the dude only getting 15yrs and then attempting another double homicide when he got out.
Besides, the best way to avoid shit like that when hiking is taking a dog with you. They become alert far before you will ever hear or see anything.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:24 am
the only good thing jesse jackson has ever done was reading green eggs and ham on saturday night live.
considering him and sharpton have in my opinion given the black community a bad rap, i think hes the last person who should be criticzing
July 10th, 2008 at 9:26 am
You mean Jesse Jackson is not the King of Black People?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Didn’t Jesse’s own son (who’s a rep in Congress) basically say his dad was an idiot for his comments on Obama?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:28 am
The Jackson thing was probably staged. Tell me how Jesse criticizing the Messiah for lecturing people on morality harms BHO in any way? Smells like a set up…
July 10th, 2008 at 9:29 am
@roeth yes
July 10th, 2008 at 9:30 am
politics out the window, i just want obama to win to see you squirm about it. jesus christ.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Oh, so do I. Communism is cool.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:38 am
This is by far the saddest thing I’ve ever read in my life. It’s from the dog love story.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I’m terrified.
RWH, the Post was all over it too.
July 10th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Always late to the game. Damn Pacific timezone.
“does kate moss still have it?
did she ever?
discuss.”
Yes! To did she ever.
Great song! Great video! Great director! Great band!
July 10th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Are those other Iraqis making fun of that fat Iraqi kid? Is that why that little porkloin is beating the hell outta them?
July 10th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I vote the Sonics pull an Anaheim Mighty Ducks/Angels hybrid and go with:
The Flint Tropics of Oklahoma City
…But that’s just me talking.
@blazers34, yeah. She is nice…very.
July 10th, 2008 at 11:21 am
that column from the guardian about economists is one of the dumbest pieces of shit i have ever seen.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Jesse Jackson.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
In the land of silly nicknames(Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, The Mighty Acorns of Ohio St.), One name trumps all…
Thundercats. Ho indeed.
Snarf would be a great mascot, though.
July 10th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
PurdueMatt – I made reference to that earlier. The whole thing looks a bit staged to me. Your thoughts?
