Mila Kunis sure has grown her since her days on That 70’s Show, which we barely watched … your Miss Universe winner, Venezuela … Fannie and Freddie will be saved … anyone in the DC area familiar with this softball team? … Anheuser-Busch has been sold … he calls himself the ‘Favreologist‘ … worth a look: fair use and video … interesting New Yorker cover with Obama on it … after the jump, Maria Menounos and David Ortiz from that All-Star party last night …
Great scoop for Barry Jackson: Billy Packer has called his last Final Four with CBS, and Clark Kellog will replace him. We’ll save our reaction for a bit later. (Miami Herald)

Admit it Jason – you are the “baseball friend” aren’t you.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:03 am
that chick looks like a ghost
July 14th, 2008 at 8:05 am
TBL, how do you manage to get the worst looking pics of these chicks?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:07 am
I am not the baseball friend! He’s about to have his second kid, actually, thus his lack of contribution.
Because you’d obviously turn down Mila Kunis, right?

Miss USA falls on her ass again

TBL, awesome work with the baseball predictions? that has got to be the first time you’ve ever seen your name that high on a list in a positive situation, right?

no no no, of course not. but this would be better. (mildly NSFW)
July 14th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Come on now, no mention of how Alyssa Milano was whoring it up to no avail at the MLB.com party? It was pretty lame….
July 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
I hate it when Czaban is on vacation.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Hey TBIMBD, I was also watching Less Than Zero last Thursday and was thinking the exact same things. RDJ was excellent, as was Spader with his leering creepiness.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:27 am
donkey punch the movie
unbelievable.. does that mean the dude donkeypunched her? is that why she died?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:29 am
did David Ortiz lose his left arm?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:33 am
@benji-wow, it totally blends in with the backdrop. nice eye.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:36 am
sparty, actually, i think his arm is behind whatever is standing to his left. but that is a funny picture regarless. why is DO standing on one foot?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
@benji-
he has a little Captain in him.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Why is Ortiz standing like that? Is he Aladdin?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Thanks for clearing that up. I though David Ortiz had actually lost his arm.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
@ benji, it’s the Captain, Captain Morgan. C’mon, don’t let me down like this. You’ve never seen the morgan commercials of the pirate in the bars?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Random thoughts:
Noticed Taryn Mowatt in that softball team photo
Miss Universe – wowsa!
TBL – please clarify in the lead-in next time that the photos are from a MALE rugby league. I was expecting lingerie-super bowl style photos, particularly after the Mila, Miss Universe photos.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:41 am
I think he’s posing like captain morgan (the guy on the bottle of liquor), but i cut the captain out of the photo.
Anyone with STARZ – Superbad is showing all week. I may watch it 5 or so times.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:41 am
@NW: no, i certainly have seen the commercials. as soon as someone mentioned he had the captain in him, i realized my mistake right away. at first i thought it was a cheap version of Johnny Depp from the Pirate movies.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:41 am
It’s a good movie. One of RDJ’s best. He was standing like that because that freaky Captain Morgan guy was there and they were trying to convince all the guys coming down the press line to do the “Captain” pose, he was the only one that did it that I saw
July 14th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Did you just not like “That 70’s Show” or just not watch it? Always a good watch (who could hate on “the circle”?), but it got real bad at the end.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Tonight is Jeter’s party at Marquee and Alex Rodriguez at 40/40 although I heard that he wanted to cancel.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
They might want to go ahead and to a pre-olympics drug test on that pole vaulter. Just sayin’.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Brooke Hogan scares me.
NEVER watched That 70s Show, John. I’m weird with TV – it’s an all or nothing proposal. I’ve stuck with garbage like Models Inc and missed out completely on shows that people enjoy, like that Raymond show.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Samesies!! – Watched it again last night
July 14th, 2008 at 8:48 am
TBL, did you watch that new Brooke Hogan show on VH1 last night? i DVR’d it but i’m not sure if i’m going to stick with it. i’ll probably give it another week or so.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Models Inc. i loved that show wasnt Carrie Ann Moss on that show? Brooke Hogan looks like a pre-op tranny for sure and neon nails?! Come on now what is this Miami 1983. Speaking of which I caught the awesome Cocaine Cowboys documentary on Starz, if you guys havent seen it (even if you’ve never done blow) its damn good
July 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Raymond was not funny to me until I was married and had a kid.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:56 am
That softball player Bianca is silly in person. I didn’t know softball players were allowed to be that hot.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Wow, the naked rugby needs marked NSFSD, not safe for straight dudes. That 70’s show was very good, probably the best show on network tv a few years ago.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:57 am
@CRM, I’m giving you a virtual internet standing ovation for your work this weekend. Good work my friend.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Billy Packer is a retard.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Okay, I tried to watch Superbad, but, I don’t know. Do you have to be a guy to enjoy it or something because it just wasn’t funny to me at all..
July 14th, 2008 at 9:08 am
how? why?
July 14th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Superbad is greatness.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:09 am
reminds me of the original American Pie – guys trying really hard to get action in HS. you women have no idea how much this is talked about.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Has anyone ever seen such a muscular female pole vaulter
check this out. this chick tops them all. SFW

It needs to be repeated
July 14th, 2008 at 9:13 am
guiness, I think it depends on how you spent your teenage years. I spent high school/college doing everything I could to get my hands on drugs, alcohol, and poon. I was moderately successful at the first two.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Hmm, while not mentioning the myriad events of racism and sexism that would’ve gotten any other announcer fired, he spends 90% of the game criticizing every coaching move, acts like he would’ve been the best basketball coach ever, hates every team except Wake Forest (and even they hate him), does not believe that good basketball exists outside the ACC (remember, mole and I are the only Duke fans here), hate mid-majors, and generally acts like he is bigger than the game.
The guy would’ve been the best analyst ever if he just stuck to analyzing the game…but he had to be the Billy Packer show. He and Vitale are opposite faces of the same coin. Sad thing is, I’ve still got to put up with his shit because I know he’ll still be calling every Duke/UNC game on Raycom until he croaks.

Sparty, that pic of Mila Kunis makes her look like she’s in junior high posing for something her teacher gets arrested for
July 14th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I love the Venezuelans– them and the Colombians are all about pumping up the boobs, sucking out fat, getting ribs removed. Anything to win. That’s the kind of work ethic we need in this country.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Kunis looks God awful in that pic.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
My wife did not get Superbad either. Rugby is great just not naked with other dudes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WybS2fauIk0
From this past weekend, the play @ the 2 minute mark is pretty amazing.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:32 am
how did colombia lose to venezula.. i call shenanigans!
July 14th, 2008 at 9:51 am
did Ortiz get those shoes from uncle eddy?
July 14th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Props for me, I’m the one who provided the Miss Universe photo AND said TBL should use it for the lead Round Up photo. He should have taken my advice, that Mila Kunis pic is brutal.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:03 am
You know what…I think she looks cute, those smokey eyes, the bed head up do, the Marc Jacobs dress and understated Gucci pumps its not blatantly sexy but totally is.
I looove Superbad
Jules: “Well thanks. And well you know if you scratch our backs, we’ll scratch yours”
Seth: “Well the funny thing is Jules, my back is located on the tip of my cock”.
ha classic
July 14th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Like the shoes, hate the dress. It gives her no shape. I’ll take Roberto Cavalli over Marc Jacobs every day of the week.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I don’t know. I like American Pie, Van Wilder, even the Porkies movies, but Superbad…maybe cause the fat kid just irritated the hell out of me. I did enjoy Mclovin though..SG, I agree, crappy dress for her to wear.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:18 am
“Has anyone ever seen such a muscular female pole vaulter?”
A-Rod is not impressed.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:21 am
The Washington Glory Holes softball player…another fine product from ASU!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:23 am
BTW when did TBL girl Stacey Keibler get a boob job, I saw her last night at the party at STK and the girls had like doubled in size far more then any victorias secret bra could do.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:27 am
TBiMBD – I’m so jealous you went to this party… I love hearing about famous chicks getting boob jobs! They need to have the All-Star game at Wrigley one of these years.

I go all in the name of research! Although I will be working on minimal sleep this week. I’m hearing my baby daddy Tom Brady might be making an appearance at ARod’s party at 40/40 tonight…I have to miss the home run derby because I’m doubling up on parties tonight and need the sleep..i’m working on 2 hours now. TBL needs to call me back might be needing his services to come cover the ESPY’s with me in LA….
