But if Alex Smith isn’t the QB, how can we mock him?
I would think the fact that #1 draft pick wasn’t the starter of his team by his 4th season would actually help your case to mock him.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
damn. That is horrible news about Cuse basketball. What will happen to Johnny Flynn?
Nice Sophia Bush pic. She gets a golf clap from me for the nice ass
August 4th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Sophia Bush is hot in The Hitcher
August 4th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
What’s with those shoes with that dress
/sportsgal
August 4th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
What is this chick famous for? I honestly have no idea.
There’s still time for Alex Smith, as horrible as he’s been. Still only 24.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Dammit Giambi, I was just starting to like you.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I love her shoes, I think they’re super cute. Can’t really see the dress, but she looks good in it. No fashion complaints from me.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Who is this chick?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I was waiting for someone to post some kind of story relating the Dark Knight to tragedy after hearing about MF today…
August 4th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I think you mean miscarry.
/shows grammar cop badge
August 4th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Keep the Heels…Lose the Dress
August 4th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
That RBI baseball thing was pretty sweet, but this is the best RBI clip.

“Sexual harassment okay as it ensures humans breed, Russian judge rules
A Russian advertising executive who sued her boss for sexual harassment lost her case after a judge ruled that employers were obliged to make passes at female staff to ensure the survival of the human race. ”
Hold on. TBL is glad he doesn’t live in Russia? I’m packing my bags for good ‘ol Stalingrad!
August 4th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I agree with the Cuse article author, why are Universities negotiating with victims and shit like that? I had a friend play at BGSU under Blackney and he punched a chick in the face. The university didnt get into that situation. Smaller school, but still, it was a good program and was winning bowl games.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Ana Ivanovic only at 29 of that hottest olympians list is retarded
August 4th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
In Soviet Russia, sexual harrassment sues you!
/Yakov’d
August 4th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
The Niners QBS suck…If I am a team with real shitty QB (SF, Chicago, Minny) I go to Tampa Bay and offer a 5 or 6 for Simms…For Chicago and SF he is better than anything they have for the Vikings he is an upgrade over Tavaris and he knows the offense so he fits right in
/depending on my Favre to Minnesota prediction not happening…it is by the way
August 4th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Even Matt Millen wouldn’t give away and 1 and a 3 for him.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Mike…Goodell is going to make it happen and it was a 1 and a 4
August 4th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Sounds like you run with a real classy crowd.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
that list is totally botched. the only one in the top 10 that should be Sharapova.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Ron Burgundy thinks so
August 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
high school buddy, havent talked to him in 8+ years.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
didn’t the girl in the AM Roundup have the same shoes on?
/not gay
August 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Just ot make sure I wasn’t nuts..here…1 and 4…Minnesota has to view both of those picks as back end picks…so the Viking would be giving up the 28th pick? and the 4th rounder is a close to a five…that will be Goodell’s way of imposing the tampering fine which “didn’t happen”
August 4th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
The Vikings draft pretty shitty so might as well give up a 1 and a 4
August 4th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Nice catch Benji. I love those shoes..
August 4th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
ah, remember the times when Jet Blue was the fun airline to travel? a free movie and meal on every flight, as cheap as Spirit, but so much more comfortable.
now they are known for long delays, expensive pillows and bending everyone over and shoving a ping pong paddle up their ass(not the handle end).
August 4th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Doesn’t LeBron know that Republicans buy sneakers too?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
97′ Maxima >>> 97′ Mazada
August 4th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Oh yeah, surprised to know I drive a better car than Morgan Freeman.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
That is some pretty serious sneaky side boob by Sophia.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Southwest is the best airline…and by best I mean cheapest..It also helps if you don’t mind flying into some secondary airport 50 miles out of the way
August 4th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Where can I get a Mazada?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Sean Jean…Yoo cood get a Mazada at Harry Carey’s used cars
August 4th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
You’ve already won one Sean Jean, just click the ad to your right for info
August 4th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
For his next trick, I think Giambi should grow facial hair like number 1 on this list
August 4th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Mr. James, Michael Jordan is on line 1. He’d like to have a word with you.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Go to the nearest gym, find a guy with disproportionantly large biceps, and tell him you’ve got a Volvo with a kickin’ sound system. He’ll trade you straight up for his Mazada.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Really, Hef? Is this what it’s come to? Really?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
sophia bush’s sideboob is wonderful. she’s so hot. i’ve forced myself to sit through a scene or two of One Tree Hill if i was flipping through and she was wearing something low cut.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
anyone ever fly Hooters for the short time they had an a few planes? talk about strange. These were the girls that couldn’t handle taking your order at the restaurant, so they threw them on the plane as extra flight attendants, but they did nothing. they didn’t even flirt like Hooters girls. cheap as hell though.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
The flight or the girls?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
When I lived in Europe, Easyjet and Ryanair were fucking sweet. Thier planes still had ashtrays in the arm-rests, you had to pay for TV and soda, but 45 quid got you pretty much anywhere.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
did they have wings on board? cuz if so, i don’t see how this airline failed.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
the flight. i think i paid 55 bucks round trip from West Palm Beach to Bethlehem PA. of course Oil was trading at about 60 a barrel.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
ship me some vodka
August 4th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
no wings, nothing! that was my biggest complaint, benji. how could it be a Hooters airline and they did not serve the wings?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
To the assholes who were taking cell phone pictures as Morgan Freeman lay in his crashed car awaiting help, F*** OFF. This account has been published in several other outlets because it was apparently funny that Freeman made comments while being snapped along the lines of “no freebies”. Tasteless and classless.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
If I am flying to Bethlehem PA I want naked boobies..none of that covered up shit..$55 or no $55
August 4th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
you flew on a plane without wings? please explain.
/kicks self in ass and shows self door

I had to watch One Tree Hill with the ladyfriend every once in awhile, and I have to say Sophia Bush’s voice bothered the fuck outta me.

her voice? you were paying attention to her voice? wtf is wrong with you,fetch?
August 4th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Was looking through Imig’s posts for the weekend…and if you think that pic of Sophie Bush is good, then you must look at the round-up from yesterday.
Conclusion – Catherine Bell is smoking hot.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
miz, +1 for the plane with no wings comment. lol.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Tell your mom I said hi.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
well sparty, it’s not like that was the main attraction, but listen to it and tell me it’s not annoying.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
I knew someone would start Dark Knight curse talk. Its not a curse when a drug addict OD’s and dies.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Ledger died from a prescription medication overdose. I don’t know if that counts as a drug addict.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
+1 nick p.
August 4th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
because nobody gets addicted to those.

@Sean Jean
He had a raging drug problem and they may have been illegally obtained prescriptions. It’s not a curse when you play with fire and get burned.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
MyPinstripes: I have heard nothing but conjecture about that.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Why so serious?

August 4th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
miz, i was so thinking of using favre instead.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I’ll take that bullet for you, sparty.
August 4th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
miz, you get a +1 because you went through with it.
