The Roundup: Angry, Priced-Out Baseball Fans
Baseball, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, Movies, NBA, Olympics, Poker, Soccer July 17th. 2008, 8:00am
Rumored Shawne Merriman paramour Kendra Wilkinson lit up the ESPYs last night … women arrested after sex competition in Greece … publicist totally called out by an NYT blog …it’s being called “Print’s Black Wednesday” …
We asked commenter Sportsgal for her thoughts on various ESPY red carpet happenings, and here’s her take on Kendra: “Here’s what guys think about this picture - boobs. Boobies, ta-ta’s, godzilla biscuits, milk jugs, sweater kittens. Here’s what women think about this picture - wow, Kendra is wearing a dress that isn’t tasteless! But she still has a five head, and her neck looks like it could snap from the weight of her hair.” More in the next post.

Meh.

Butterface.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Great, bad enough we have to read SportsGal’s comments, but now we have to read what she says in the post as well.
Although, I don’t actually believe she said that, because I know she’s a Cubs fan and there were a few words with more than one syllable in that quote.

that yankee stadium piece is a joke. Hal Steinbrenner is on record saying ticket prices for a third of the seats will be $25 or less, hardly a bankbuster. Not to mention the fact that the current yankee stadium building is hardly as historic as it is hyped to be after the remodeling in the ’70s.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:13 am
anyone else that plays fantasy baseball hate the all-star week? you can have just one bad day and lose the entire week.

Phil is already @ +8. He won’t even make the weekend.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:15 am
The man who came up with The Girls Next Door should win a very important award of some sort. His contribution to our society is that great.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Chass might be a bit wrong-headed in his disdain for stats, but he writes circles around the guys at FJM. The boys at that site really need to spend more time on the day job, as “The Office” (highly overrated in the best of times) stunk on ice this past season.
And, please let the comparisons to “Seinfeld” stop. It’s slightly akin to comparing J.D. Drew to Ted Williams.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:17 am
i was really pulling for man-boobs.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Her Vag probably looks like a beat up catcher’s mitt
July 17th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Kendra’s picture should have been cropped at the neck. Her face has always freaked me out a bit.
And the publicist getting called out in the NYT blog? Freakin’ priceless. The “children are accessories” line is unreal.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:20 am
When did they start?
July 17th, 2008 at 8:21 am
if i saw that soccer referee walking down the street, i’d cross to the other side. that dude is scary as fuck.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:25 am
dishonorable indeed.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:28 am
I’m eagerly anticipating Sportsgal’s take of what the whores/groupies were wearing to ESPN’s self-congratulatory “awards” ceremony. Please don’t make me wait until the next post.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:28 am
412 - i get a sense you’re angry? Please list 5-10 things you actually like. Thanks.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:29 am
wait TBL, you and SG actually watched the ESPYs?
July 17th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Re: women arrested after sex competition in Greece
Did anybody else read this and think all they were doing was filming porn? I’ve often wondered why you can’t legally pay someone to have sexy time with you but you can legally pay that same person to pork you and if you take pictures of your session, it can be called porn, not prostitution.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
i just heard them mention on the radio that Alyssa Milano used to date Tom Glavine. is this true?
July 17th, 2008 at 8:34 am
@mizerle06 - Documentation always makes things seem on the up and up.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Alyssa Milano also used to date ______________ (name a baseball player. go ahead. pick one; any one).
July 17th, 2008 at 8:35 am
damn, i was gonna say you can do anything with a permit. CRM quick on the draw once again.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:37 am
we like the Michael Pietrus signing by Orlando
i knew you had it in you. Off to a great start today
@sportsgal- that will be $9.95 for the use of Godzilla Biscuits. thank you
July 17th, 2008 at 8:37 am
seriously though, if you solicit a prostitute by saying “I want to pay you $50 for a beej and I’ll take pictures of it and post it on the internet later” and that prostitute is actually an undercover cop, couldn’t you just say you were trying to start a porn site?

Walks on the beach, the smell of freshly cut grass on a summer day, labrador retriever puppies, the laughter of children, creatine cocktails
(the last one was for you!)
July 17th, 2008 at 8:43 am
I hate Kendra’s laugh, but I love them cannons.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:45 am
you know what started my day out great? not that any of you were asking or care, but seeing on my blog roll the current post up on MLJ: http://www.clownpenis.fart. That will make anyone laugh that hasn’t finished their 1st cup of coffee.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Quick interesting insane thing on Yankee tickets for next year. A few weeks ago I got tickets through work, they were fifth row behind home plate. Sick seats. $250 a seat and there are 4 seats in this group. So for season tickets that’s $1,000 a game, a total expense of $81,000 a year.
Next year in the new stadium for those same seats, they will cost $850 a seat. So if they decided to renew them, they’re now spending $275,400 a year.
That’s more than triple the price and the kicker is that anyone purchasing those premium seats has to sign a minimum of a 4-10 year contract, with 6% increases every year.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Ankiel and Hamilton
that was very well written. But i have to disagree w/ that because of the praise he is giving Ankiel. Two different stories
July 17th, 2008 at 8:47 am
no ugly sports face list is valid without at least a mention of Sam Cassel.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:48 am
@The Sports Hernia - The moral of the story? Yankee fans are assholes.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:49 am
@sparty - that made me laugh last night and then again when I forgot about it and saw it again this morning. the words penis and fart make me laugh in general. put them together in the same sentence, and it’s comedic gold. I’m very mature. true story.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Actually had to google Kendra Wilkinson to find out what she did to become famous, because I would have guessed “porn star” looking at the picture above.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Indeed. And now the entire lower section of the stadium instead of just 50% will now be douchebags who work for places like Goldman Sachs. Fantastic.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:50 am
This is not true. no idea how it got on the internet, but it’s out there.
(i’m not milano’s publicist, it’s just so false that it’s dumb)
412 - i’m talking about sports or movies or culture. dont be one of those ‘everything sucks!’ guys. it’s too easy to be angry and hate everything.
and no, the ESPYS weren’t on TV last night.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:51 am
I think in most places in the US making porn is illegal because it can be considered prostitution. But just like prostitution, the fact that its illegal hardly stops it. I know there are a few counties in Cali where it is legal, with the proper documentation and actor STD testing. This is why most legitimate
theatreporn is made in Cali and overseas, at least that’s what I hear.July 17th, 2008 at 8:51 am
when i lived in FL. i remember purchasing 3 WS tickets when the Yanks played the Marlins. 10 rows back from first base line for a total of $400.00! I am sure that is probably pretty close to what one WS ticket at Yankee Stadium cost that year for the same seat location.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:51 am
@tallguy, true that. ET is one ugly mofo.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am
That’s what I though so how did you and sprotsgal get a look at the ladies?
July 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am
thats right, they are a taped show, my bad.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:55 am
the giants won the espy for best upset … yeah because that was a bigger upset than appalachian state beating michigan. come on.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:56 am
i think the ESPY’s are on Sunday. i heard Timberlake was ripping on Brett Favre. That’ll show him.

@TBL - I am pretty sure it’s Kendra Wilkinsonnot Wilkerson
July 17th, 2008 at 8:58 am
ESPN news this morning was showing clips of people getting interviewed on the red carpet at the ESPYS. Personally, we also need SG116’s reviews as well as Tom Brady’s baby mamma..

July 17th, 2008 at 9:15 am
I’m not sure how one makes the leap that I believe “everything sucks” simply because I make a comment about Ken Tremendous’ shitty blog (in which he basically shits on every sportswriter in the country and stalks Joe Morgan) and the mediocrity of “The Office”. And, the round-up girl today is very “meh”. I guess all of that adds up to anger and bitterness(?).
July 17th, 2008 at 9:16 am
is that a dude?
July 17th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Massive Juggs and a sex competition…Sweet.
July 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am
mizerle, putting sex on film makes it art… kinda.
I’ve long wondered if it would be legal to walk up to a hooker and say: “Bet you $100 that you won’t blow me”, and if it’s illegal would it be a gambling charge or prostitution?
July 17th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Kendra is looking more and more like Jenna Jameson by the day. As for the sex competition, has anyone ever been to a rainbow party?

Everything Sucks
July 17th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Hate to break it to Hugh Hefner, but Kendra doesn’t really love you; she likes the black guys.

@ruck: there was a scandal about kids having Rainbow Parties somewhere near where i grew up. unfortunately, i was already in college at the time.

@benji - that never stopped your buddy Cradle Robber Guy

@benji — timing is everything, isn’t it?

That sounds like the best party ever.
July 17th, 2008 at 9:52 am
TBL, you are about 3 days late on the Tiffany Michelle news. Especially considering that PokerNews is now threatening legal action against her!
July 17th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I concur with WhoDey’s comments in #4.
If sportsgal is hating on another lady, said lady must be doing something right.
Just my two cents, but more and more voices are diluting the TBL brand.
July 17th, 2008 at 10:09 am
In a totally hetero way I have to agree with the Sportsgal. Kendra is just manufactured garbage. She’s in no way hot.
July 17th, 2008 at 10:55 am
The mental image of high pitch Eric asking Erin Andrews for her digits is beyond hilarious. (Hot Clicks)
Did anyone see the EA photo posted by Hot Clicks? Good god. HEY BABY YOU EVER HAD YOUR ASSHOLE LICKED BY A FAT MAN IN AN OVERCOAT?!

You Been Blinded asked Kelly Pavlik how it felt to know he could knock out 95% of the other athletes at the ESPYS. 95%?!?! Come on, who is he not dropping? T.O.? He’s getting dropped. Maybe if Jonathan Ogden were there or something. Who is Pavlik not going to KTFO at the ESPYs if it came to it?
