PM Roundup: On TBL, Brett Favre Breaks Story!
Cheerleaders, College Football, Golf, MMA, NBA, NFL, Tennis July 24th. 2008, 3:50pm
I didn’t run this by Jason, but on behalf of The Big Lead.com, I would like to offer Brett Favre a contract to write for this blog. Brett would become a cornerstone of our new TBL NFL Blog Network. The TBL NFL Blog Network is set up so that we here at The Big Lead can better cover the NFL in the coming season. Brett’s connections with the various teams in the NFC North – Be it through playing experience or phone communication – will prove to be an invaluable asset to this blog. *This is in no way a publicity stunt.*
Oh yeah, that’s Jana Ina. She’ll be covering the AFC South.

TBL loves LeBron sooo much that I decided to hide this below the jump. (Where is Kobe’s TIME cover story?) Here’s the video and this is the picture…

see CRM that round up pic is why you are loved. who cares if you make up stories about going to Las Vegas…right Irish?
July 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
CRM well done. I’d like to put something Ina
July 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
“leader” ? Really? He is going to tell the vets on that team how and when they screwed up? I think “leader” should be switched with “most high profile” We can all watch the games to determine who the “leader” is going to be.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Man the Nebraska mascot versus the Mason mascot, that feels like a personal attack.
Gunston is all about political correctness, George Mason touts how diverse it is.
Oh and the commenters on the George Mason site you linked are dumb as hell, many of you would have fun with them.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
uh… illformula… I believe it’s pronounced “Ina”
July 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
does she have a Chiclet in her teeth a la Dennis the Menace?
July 24th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Tayshaun Prince baby!
July 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
new sonic banana split blast. Amazing.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
+1 ill!
July 24th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
I’ll take bets that Arlovski doesn’t last more then 2 minutes
July 24th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
the guys at waiting for next year are good people…they post here occasionally, and they do a fantastic job, whether you love or hate cleveland sports.
/kudos
July 24th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
anyone else notice that the caption “A judge is fed up with dumb names” is immediately followed by a story about a guy named “Long Wang?” Long Wang is a great name. Almost as good as Dick Dragon
July 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Nice interview with Paula Creamer. I don’t get why the media is still fascinated with Wie when there are classy players like Paula who also can win(and remember to sign their cards).
July 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
almost as good as Lucious Pussey
July 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I swear if I click on one more expanding ad…
Oh and fuck lebron…yea that’s right I said it. Gimme Chris Paul/Deron Williams (assuming there’s a good big man on my team already) anyday…
July 24th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
CRM, I pronounce it with visual bias.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
ill – just don’t want you sounding ignorant
July 24th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
CRM, I appreciate the concern but you’re entirely too late for that.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Harry Balsner would like to enter the debate about all time best names. As would my new man crush Shavodrick Beaver.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
i wanna hook up with paula creamer…great looking and shot a 60…awesome combo.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Nice nice pic.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
So Tim Tebow made a little girl cry.
Who would of thought that? Not Timmy Tebow
July 24th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Amanda Phister, former volleyballer for IUPUI would like to throw her hat into that debate ring.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I’ve always been partial to Destiny Frankenstein and Velvet Milkman
July 24th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Representative Dick Sweat from NH wants to remind all of you of the time his wife got up at a rally and told the whole crowd, “I love Dick!!”
July 24th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
by that rationale, you’d love to bone david duval.
/nttawwt
July 24th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
so would Richard Joque
/dick joke!
July 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Al Bino wants to make you all pay…but it’s too sunny out today to venture out of his basement.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
25th anniversary of George Brett going insane with the pine tar bat incident. Story over at the wwl.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
nwilson26 is this Russia? I pity the fool that links ESPN from a blog…
July 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
That’s why I didn’t link it. just letting people know that it’s over there.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Paula Creamer is cute as hell.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Speaking of twwl, I think it’s funny how they have “Our Blogosphere” as the main picture.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Oh yeah, that’s Jana Ina. She’ll be covering the AFC South
I’d like her to cover my south. BAM!
July 24th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I like Tim Kurkjian though. The dorky reporter who is all business.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
@nwilson: NY Times had a story as well (Thanks Sparty and friends). I have a miniature pine tar bat still. I’m going to try and find it tonight.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
It is driving me insane…
July 24th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I’ve never for the life of me seen somebody flip out like that before, other than him that ONE time. Amazing. What in the world would he have done if nobody would have restrained him? Run the ump over? Brett doesn’t have an ounze of bad blood in his body.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
I was reading through the AFC East “blog” and came across this one-liner that I thought was funny.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Yea CRM if you wanna get Brett Favre here you might wanna get rid of that other post.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Thanks Highball. TBL still waiting———————————->
July 24th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Remember the 84 Fleer card with Brett and Gaylord Perry.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
George Brett also gives the best All-Star pre-game speeches ever.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Caveliers
July 24th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Um, I think that award goes to Ichiro Sparty…
July 24th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Baby names these days have gotten way out of hand. Every fucking parent who names their girl Nevaeh should be fined 10 grand. And it isn’t even the names, it’s the spellings. There’s like 10 different ways to spell Madeline! Oh, look at me and how creative I am. Too bad your kid will end up hating you because everybody they encounter will spell their name wrong.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Sorry Sparty I should have linked through you instead of right to the NYT, but I gave you credit. You’re doing good work over there.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Dick Pole could be the pitching coach
/late to the Party..but love the name Dick Pole
July 24th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
seriously…my name isnt even that bad, and ill never forgive my fucking hippie parents for naming me spencer. seriously…fuck my name. i fucking hate it.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
it’s all good Highball. appreciate the compliment.
Noce-anyone that puts Terry Francona on notice in an ASG, gets my vote
July 24th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Hey guys, I just read that Brooke Hogan has been approached by Playboy to do a spread…
July 24th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
@groin: some douchy guy i know named his daughter Neva and i had never heard it before. is it something popular these days?
July 24th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Hey guys, I just read that Brooke Hogan has been approached by Playboy to do a spread…
I’d rather see Hulk Hogan naked.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Spencer, at least your name isn’t Sunday (Nicole Kidman) or Apple (Gwenyth Paltrow) or Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee) or Kal El (Nicholas Cage) or Phinnaeus (Julia Roberts).
July 24th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
spencer, does your last name rhyme with the body part or is it ‘ie’ like chief?
July 24th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Nevaeh is Heaven spelled backwards. You should do his daughter a favor and punch him in the back of the head as hard as you can.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Nevaeh? spell that fonetikly please.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Let’s not forget Rumer, Scout and Talulah Willis..
July 24th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Na-vay-ya
July 24th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Oh yeah, almost forgot, Paltrow named her boy Moses. She and Chris Martin are total douche bag assholes.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
My girlfriends cousin’s name is Niamh but it’s pronounced Neeve.
She’s Irish so it’s not her fault.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Spencer, why the hell would you have a problem with your FIRST name?
July 24th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
didn’t courtney cox name her kid Apple?
July 24th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Sportsgal, glad to see that I’m not the only one who gets fired up about this topic. I think you’ve hit on something here. There’s a direct correlation between the oddity of the childs name and the douche bag asshole quotient of the parent.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
i have a problem with my name in general…and yes, stigs, it’s “ie” like “Chief”
July 24th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
I’ve always wondered, how is this pronounced: Siobhan
July 24th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
that’s the gayest thing i’ve ever heard. haha. poor fucking kid.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
I knew a guy named Sean O’Something, forgot the last name. But he insisted his first name was pronounced SEEN. Utter Douchery.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
I’m naming my kid deew.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
@groin, here’s a list i found of some of the names. Some are normal but most are pretty bad

July 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Clown, like shi-von. I coached a girl on my team this spring, and the manager had a hell of a time with her name on the line up every game.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
my kids are named dr. quinn and medicine woman.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
My name is Brian, but I spell it L-A-R-R-Y. It’s fun when I go to the bank and the teller will say “have a good day Larry”, and I’ll be all “uh, that’s pronounced Brian.”
July 24th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
There really are no rules for pronunciation anymore so you can pronounce it Hank if you want.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I’m naming my kid Go. That is non-negotiable with my future wife.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
clown pronounces his name “clone”. he’s very, very cool like that.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Clone, that’s not a word. Unless we’re looking at a medical dictionary.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
+1 Happy. I almost choked on my water bottle when I read that.
July 24th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Go Fetch. I get it. Go Fetch my slippers son!
July 24th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Happy, your new Gmail adddress doesn’t work. Maybe I spelled something wrong? Sorry I can’t comment over there. I’m at work.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
happy, yes it is. you know, “to clone something”. If a patient gets difficult, you clone him.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I’m naming my kid Go. That is non-negotiable with my future ex-wife
/fixed
July 24th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I knew I should have started a tumblr instead of a blogspot.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Sparty, Courtney Cox named her kid Coco.
Groin, it’s totally true, the bigger the douche bag, the dumber the kid’s name. Not only did Paltrow name her kid Apple, the kid’s entire name is Apple Blythe Alison Martin. Four fucking names!!
July 24th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
“Sometimes she spells the hyphen.” – sneaky hot lady from Big
July 24th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Are you referring to the same Gwenyth Paltrow who said this?
“I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans,”
Uppity whore.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
I hate her!!!
