The Roundup: A-Rod’s Dating, Football as an Olympic Sport, and Greg Maddux Back to the Dodgers
Baseball, College Football, Fantasy Sports, Media Gossip/Musings, NFL, Olympics August 19th. 2008, 8:00am
We talked about Sarah Shahi Friday, but Esquire has put some new photos of her online, and you must see them … town in Australia needs ugly women … any other Kate Beckinsale fans? … internet radio is in deep trouble … attempting to have sex with a steel bench looks dangerous … Roseanne attempts to stay relevant by trashing Angelina Jolie because she won’t vote democrat … Kanye West is a fan of Scarlett … and another Sarah Shahi photo after the jump …

TBL-the coverage of A-Rod getting divorced w/the Maddona twist was entertaining stuff, especially since she looks more manly that Alex. but come one dude, let’s not start going all TMZ now with A-Rod and his dating.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:07 am
This is my first year having both a long term GF and being crazy deep into FF… Sundays should be fun.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:08 am
So I click on the story of fat Roseanne trashing Angelina (in hopes of finding some Angelina pics) and I get a several month old story about Wayne Gretzky’s kid in a QB battle with Joe Montana’s kid, with the winner throwing to Will Smith’s kid. What’s the deal?
August 19th, 2008 at 8:10 am
my bad, Rockets, will fix now …
August 19th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Please please please please please please please DON’T bring back Chris Henry.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:12 am
sorry Sparty, maybe I’m the only one, but I’m interested in what A-Rod does in his spare time
August 19th, 2008 at 8:17 am
after the first five ‘please’ i really thought you were going to ask for more Sarah Shahi
August 19th, 2008 at 8:17 am
big fan of both kate beckinsale and sarah shani good way to get over that disaster in the meadowlands last night
August 19th, 2008 at 8:18 am
the A-Rod story is compelling partially because he’s a very high profile headcase and partially because he could lock up Jeter-level women but instead chooses trannies. it’s funny, TBL. keep it coming.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:20 am
@TBL: Well, that goes without saying.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:20 am
screw you miz.
TBL-i can tell you what gym he works out at in Miami in the off-season. you could go do curls with him then head over to his favorite bagel shop.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:21 am
@TBL, it’s service like this that keeps me coming back.
What’s Rosanne’s point, I don’t get it. If there was anyone in Hollywood I’d think about even listening too, it’d be Angelina, not just because she is smoking, but because she puts her money were her mouth is and is trying to start her own personal orphanage. What the crap has Roseanne ever done for anyone ever? Whenever she is on Real Time with Bill Maher, I can’t watch because she takes over and won’t let anyone else say anything. It’s really quite obnoxious.
And the Republicans had a “worldwide assault on Africa?” Really? How does that make any sense? If it’s worldwide, then how was it only if Africa? And what “economic” benefit is in Africa? Look, I regret voting for W. (twice), but that’s a little too much for me.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:23 am
btw-that pic of Sarah Shahi’s ass is stupendous. waiting for Rex to photo shop the round up pic.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:23 am
sparty click the esquire link to get a better shot of her ass
August 19th, 2008 at 8:27 am
oh i did mmonast. i sure as hell did.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:29 am
that second pic is unreal in the esquire link. nice gap huh
crossbow chick is hot too
August 19th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Any chance they could get Roseanne Barr to speak at the DNC?
August 19th, 2008 at 8:33 am
TBL-of course you know i am half joking. but as a Yankee fan, I have to ask, what the hell is he doing down in Miami on a date in the middle of the season at the end of a really long road trip?
August 19th, 2008 at 8:34 am
dating women, yes
bagels and weights, not so much
on the esquire site, there’s even a better one
August 19th, 2008 at 8:34 am
id have to look again, but was the date specified? could have just been during their last series against the Rays
August 19th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Miami and Tampa are 5 hours apart. still no good if you ask me. though i am sure Jeter was probably partying at a club nearby. but when you have rings you can do that and not get flack. That is why nobody got on the Mick(who probably hit HRs drunk), Joe Namath, or LT.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:40 am
private jet probably, i know.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:43 am
sparty.. its 3.5 max by car.. not 5 lol
August 19th, 2008 at 8:47 am
4.5 according to google maps. but thanks,
magellancortes.August 19th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I’ve spent the last 15 minutes checking out Kate Beckinsale. What a fine, fine, fine specimen she is. I haven’t gotten to any other links. How could I with those great round up pics, then a link to the future Mrs. World in a bikini in Mexico… Niiice.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:53 am
new Jessica Alba photos. why did she have to go and get pregnant?
August 19th, 2008 at 8:54 am
im just saying i’ve drove it many a time…perhaps google maps takes in account the gender of the driver
August 19th, 2008 at 8:56 am
cortes-i see you are like most drivers down in Florida, hence the high insurance rates. Though it may surprise you, Alligator Alley is not really a 95 MPH zone.
August 19th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Really? I’m blocked from viewing the Esquire link? Poop!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Went to LA for a week about a year ago and was eating lunch at one of those ‘hot spots’ and in walks Beckinsale with her gay hairdresser or somebody of that ilk. Every head in the joint turned. She’s simply radiant - practically glowing. Always smiling, too.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:02 am
really ill? never fear, you can take your time looking at this greatness.
/mizerle06
August 19th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Shahi looks like she’s pissing in the top picture.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:13 am
If I cant get Sarah Shahi Im going to get a girl that looks just like her…my god that bottom shot sold me.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Shahi looks like she’s pissing in the top picture.
dont ruin this for me
August 19th, 2008 at 9:17 am
What a great piece Miz… Would have been exceptional if I gave a shite about ND.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I can’t view the blasted Esquire link either. No fair.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:19 am
CRM was in LA?
August 19th, 2008 at 9:21 am
she’s attractive
August 19th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Good Morning everyone……I was just checking in to see how Derek Anderson’s headache is this morning…
August 19th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Roman, tooting his own horn? No way!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:25 am
The Bengals are truly an embarrassment to the NFL.
Oh. And Chad’s shoulder better be fine!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:27 am
ill-i never get too excited about any preseason success. but i have never seen the Giants dline play that well in an exhibition game.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:27 am
ill..I am not tooting my own horn..I am tooting the horn of the freight train that is Osi Umenyiora
August 19th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Not that I’m complaining, but having the Bengals and the Browns in Pittsburgh’s division is a recurring gift from the NFL Gods.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:32 am
it was a preseason game…shaun rogers and braylon didn’t suit up. talk after the second ACTUAL game.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:34 am
No esquire and no Jessica Alba make Hawkeye something, something….
August 19th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I am tooting the horn of the freight train that is Osi Umenyiora
Dont toot his horn too much he might poop on you.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I’m not even paying attention to the preseason games Spence. We Steeler fans look forward to postseason games. Those games, also known as the “playoffs”, are games played after the regular season.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Bengals 13-3. Print.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I know almost every team does it … but why is Derek Anderson still in the game when it’s 30-3? It’s the preseason. These guys should not be suiting up until the last game.
See: Chad Johnson. (Yes, I’m bitter.)
August 19th, 2008 at 9:38 am
what, so you can watch them get beat by jacksonville again?
/grasping, i know
August 19th, 2008 at 9:40 am
im more worried about the injuries to cribbs, da, and pool than i am with how the team played during the game—sure they played bad but still time to get it all straightened out
/eternally optimistic
August 19th, 2008 at 9:44 am
But Joe Thomas still dominated
/spence
August 19th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Dirty Sanchez - I am sure in all other facets of life you are a wonderful human being, but then you go and waste all the goodwill you’ve built over your lifetime by being a Steeler’s fan. May you be stricken with a mutated form of syphillis that slowly rots your junk.
Does the above count as a personal attack in violation of the Commenter’s Bill of Rights?
August 19th, 2008 at 9:46 am
OUMike - taking down Steeler fans one by one.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:48 am
he got raped last night.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Roethlishotdog - I also hate Ravens’ fans along with fans of every other NFL team except the Browns. But I especially hate the Ravens and Steelers. I actually find myself rooting for Al Quaida when the two meet head to head.
/Is that wrong?
August 19th, 2008 at 9:53 am
yes…that’s wrong, it’s spelled Al Qaeda, not Al Quiada.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:53 am
I love how the Browns manage to choke in prime time in the preseason. How exactly are they going to handle 5 prime time games when it counts? Those 1pm Sunday games when no one is watching are starting to look pretty good.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:55 am
@Spencer - noted.
@coop - it wasn’t choking… it’s strategy. The Browns are laying low in preparation for putting the biggest ass-whooping on Dallas that the country has ever seen.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:00 am
That made me laugh out loud. Somehow you brownies have never lost hope, which I have to respect (laugh at, but respect).
August 19th, 2008 at 10:01 am
coop…the only thing i can think of is that they laid an egg to begin last year’s regular season too.
other than that…im getting nervous.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:02 am
coop im actually glad they had a preseason MNF game–a good way to get used to get used to a prime time national audience when it doesn’t count. get all that nervousness out of the way.
also getting their asses kicked is a good thing for them, all off-season they have gotten their dicks sucked, now they get knocked down a few pegs and can now re-focus.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:04 am
The Browns were so bad last night, I got pissed. Then, it just became funny. It was Murphy’s Law last night. Anything that could, did:
Blocked punt, check.
Return free kick for TD, check.
100 yards in penalties in the 1st QUARTER, check.
Fumble a TD run on the 2 yard line, check.
Allow 95 yard TD run after fumble, check.
Get starting QB, best return man in game, and starting safety dinged, check.
Play like the 99 Browns, check and check.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Is she peeing in this photo? What the hell is going on under there?
August 19th, 2008 at 10:06 am
i find it funny that steelers fans are some of the same people that criticize OSU fans for being smug and arrogant.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:07 am
I think D Anderson should drink more Myoplex like Brady Quinn.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:08 am
when did devin hester get traded to the browns?
cribbs is great, but hester is heads and shoulders better as a returner.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:09 am
@spence… Meant AFC. Hester is definitely better.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Nearest as I can tell the “Commenter’s Bill of Rights” is a link taking you to a post about talking about a Commenter’s Bill of Rights, which is not in fact a Commenter’s Bill of Rights at all. It is like a worm hole and to be honest it makes my head hurt… U.S. Americans… maps… The Iraq…
August 19th, 2008 at 10:13 am
What would Buzz think of posts like this???
August 19th, 2008 at 10:17 am
@ill - thanks for the compliments. was in a meeting (work can suck it) so I couldn’t thank you before
August 19th, 2008 at 10:19 am
@sparty - it’s the new Rickroll?
/squeezing my 15 minutes of blogging fame hard
August 19th, 2008 at 10:21 am
@miz: I was getting ready to say that you should put a permanent link to your post in your name, but it looks like you’ve beaten me to it.
Kudos.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:22 am
hey miz, no problem pimping the article for you. ungrateful bastard….
August 19th, 2008 at 10:26 am
@sparty - thanks for pimping my junk but screw you for being a meanie
August 19th, 2008 at 10:27 am
@NickP - I had that brilliant idea last night. did it for MLJ too.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Many Steeler fans can’t define/spell smug and arrogant
August 19th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Can’t have respect for Shahi, she’s showing more skin here than in her fuck scene on the Sopranos
August 19th, 2008 at 10:33 am
you rule miz. +1 JS.
August 19th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Late to the game as always here on the West Coast:
Nice Esquire link - that’s quality stuff…and classy ’cause it’s Esquire
Kate Beckinsale - nice again. Everyone knows Underworld rocks, but I love her in Cold Comfort Farm…seriously, Shooting Fish, and Brokedown Palace. All those were before she got ultra hot, so you thought you still had a chance with her.
Charles Haley - 5 Rings, pissing, masturbating,and manic. How cool is that?
August 19th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Can’t have respect for Shahi, she’s showing more skin here than in her fuck scene on the Sopranos
SHe had a fuck scene on the sopranos…where?
