Baseball, College Football, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, NBA, NFL, Olympics August 21st. 2008, 3:45pm
In honor of the US women’s soccer team gold medal victory over Brazil earlier today: awesomely-named goalie Hope Solo. And because she earned a yellow card: Heather Mitts. Unrelated: Probably too gross to link, but if you feel like vomiting, read this.
So, uh, just how bad is Peyton Manning’s knee? (National Football Post)
Bolt or Phelps or God?: “Sports being both competitive and argumentative, this stuff is indigenous to the subject. Who’s better? Whatdya think? I’d say ESPN has made an art form out of it, but I don’t want to insult art. (SI)
Awful year for Clay Buchholz continues: Demoted. Blame the penthouse pet! (Sports Lounge)
Ninja arrested in New Jersey, fully armed and decked out in Ninja gear. They were going after drug dealers. (WCBS)
Will a week go by where Dan Snyder doesn’t slam the Washington Post? (WSJ)
Page Six mentioned David Wright’s girlfriend modeling, and here are the photos. (Frock Couture)
And now filling the ESPN talking-head role of mediocre, journeyman ex-QB … Trent Dilfer! (Sports Daily)
Packers fan still mourns the loss of Favre. (Randball)
More Michael Johnson on Bolt’s record-setting exploits: “Michael who?” (Video)
Some newspapers people refuse to blog or adapt to new technology. Hey, your funeral. (Globe and Mail)
Even we sort of hope Joe McKnight stays healthy this year. (Trojan Wire)
“Rogge’s ripping of Usain Bolt’s supposed showboating in two of the most electrifying gold-medal performances of these Games has to be one of the most ill-timed and gutless acts in the modern history of the Olympics.” (Yahoo Sports)
Who knew? Eddy Curry used to be a gymnast. (A Stern Warning)

“So, uh, just how bad is Peyton Manning’s knee?”
That’s exactly why our FF league drafts less than a week prior to the first game.

I’d like to stick my penis in every hole hope solo contains.

If Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and two Bushes cant fight the war on drugs, two Ninja Warriors can.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Heather Mitts? Yes.
Hope Solo? Looks like she’s in the running for Mr. Spock’s wife, wearing her Starship Enterprise yeoman’s outfit and sporting Vulcan style eyebrows.

GYD - you ignorant slut. Hope is awesome and hot.
Better Olympic name - Hope Solo or Usain Bolt?
August 21st, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Can I get Hope Solo and the Paraguayan track & field girl for some 2-on-1 training time?
August 21st, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I agree with Cortes and/or Roman
August 21st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
I agree with Glass Yard Dog. Ms Solo needs HOPE
August 21st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Didn’t she bash the team or coach during the World Cup for playing the older goalie instead of her?
August 21st, 2008 at 4:06 pm
cortes…don’t besmirch my name with a 7…she’s ok…I only plan on sticking my penis into the vaginas of 9’s and 10’s since I will only give up half my money for someone worth it
August 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
@ill: Yes but she’s hot and if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 21 years of life, it’s that if you’re hot you can get away with anything.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Snyder’s douche rating is AAA. The WaPo wasn’t killing him every day like WTEM was, that’s why he bought WTEM. It won’t be long before he starts issuing talking points to the on-air talent.
Fans who continue to make money for this guy deserve to sit around thinking of the 80s and not notice the current team is pathetic.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:09 pm
No matter how hot any girl is somebody, somewhere, is sick of their shit.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:10 pm
I will give out $10,000 to any US Americans (thanks Miss Teen SC)who refuse a silver or bronze medal. Yep , you heard right. Hopefully from TBL’s comment section to Beijing word of this will spread. After finishing fifth and getting boosted up to third in the 200 because of DQ’s, Walter Dix said it best, “I still lost.” That is the kind of spirit we need. Gold or nothing!

Ninja arrested in New Jersey, fully armed and decked out in Ninja gear. They were going after drug dealers. (WCBS)
Getting busted by the NJ police is a good sign that being a Ninja is beyond your abilities…
August 21st, 2008 at 4:11 pm

I would pay to see this…while high.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:13 pm
You guys will throw the word hot next to anything in a skirt (kilts excluded). She is not hot.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:14 pm
lol at roman…and that bet between me and you is looking more and more like a victory for you.. last night was a heart breaker.. hopefully they turn it around, or my blog will become dirty and smelly (like new york) for a full day
August 21st, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Roeth. That may be one of my most favoritest lines ever. I have used it more than once.

August 21st, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Natasha Kai’s tats were the most captivating thing on the soccer pitch at the Olympics.

August 21st, 2008 at 4:23 pm

August 21st, 2008 at 9:24 pm
It’s all about context… she’s hot for a pro soccer player, although Heather Mitts is in a different league (genuinely hot).
