Oh yeah, we’re heading into the first weekend with a girl named Leighton Meester, otherwise known as the mean chick on Gossip Girl … eight-year-old caught with lots of fake $20s in elementary school (sidenote: teachers use markers on $20s in elementary school?) … was Us Weekly mean to Palin? … another bright bus driver … Vince Young, now peddling sausage … Britney’s mom writes a book saying her daughter lost her virginity at 14 … and NFL quiz …

Watching Cribs is a hell of a drug.

If you had a choice for one night of lots o fun: Leighton Meester or Blake Lively? Me, I would go for Blake.
Bonus: add Heather Mitts, on the same night?
September 5th, 2008 at 8:09 am
That settles. Cavs = your 2008 NBA Champs
September 5th, 2008 at 8:10 am
I dont even know where to begin with that Hulk Hogan story. Joba story is pretty rad.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Imbecile is an underrated insult. Gonna try to get it back into the rotation.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:18 am
My Name is Early stopped being “Must See” 3/4 of the way through the first season. Scrubs sucked last season. 30 Rock is genius and should be treated as such.
Baldwin was 100% right.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:32 am
So I woke up this morning to Mark Schlereth telling me how good Eli Manning was last night…r..really? I must have dreamed up what I saw.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Eli was clicking during the first quarter. Then they lost all their momentum and he went back to Fredo-Mode. He threw 1 pick, but put it right in the breadbasket of DB’s 3 other times only to have it dropped.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Baldwin is a tool, we all know that, but 30 Rock annihilates My Name is Earl.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:38 am
your problem is that you listened to something Mark Schlerth said. Eli was going against a beat-up secondary and looked good in the first quarter, but that’s about it. I’d say he’s the reason the game was still moderately close in the 4th.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Leighton Meester was born in a jail, so that’s pretty much like conjugal sex every time.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Eli seemed to roll out on every other play.. dude needs to learn to step up into the pocket. No word on Kiwanuka today?
September 5th, 2008 at 8:48 am
pretty much summed it up well. the offense seemed really out of sync. considering they practiced maybe a grand total of 3 times together, not a surprise. it will be all good.
Justin Tuck is an animal.
Kenny Phillips is going to be absolute stud.
Kiwanuka is fine, x-rays negative. no MRI scheduled.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Where’s August at? He should be pretty happy today.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:52 am
eight-year-old caught with lots of fake $20s in elementary school
The lunch lady and the bus driver worked together to bring this juvenile in. $880 was found in his Spider Man lunch box.
September 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I’d be happy if I had put some money where my mouth (fingers) is after saying my prediction last friday.

“So I woke up to Mark Schleterth nutting on my face. It was nice. Really good for the skin.”

first time ever Vandy has been three games ahead of Tennessee in the win-loss column? Vandy = class of the state.

September 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Leighton Meester is deee-lish.
I thought Alec Baldwin moved to France?
September 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Justin Tuck is an animal.
Kenny Phillips is going to be absolute stud.
Kiwanuka is fine, x-rays negative. no MRI scheduled.
The Skins o-line if horrific.
Did I mention they are really old?
I hope he’s out for the season.
/good game to you sir
September 5th, 2008 at 9:01 am
@Miz – Does Vandy beat Tennessee this year?
September 5th, 2008 at 9:01 am
are they using the pic of VY in the club for the logo to cater to the ghey community?
September 5th, 2008 at 9:03 am
hey ill, how is landry feeling a day after being run over by a mack truck?

What to do when your favorite team is rebuilding
Mention that Beanie Wells is injured and high five the person next to you every time you see a buckeye fan.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:07 am
@ill – I don’t think so. UT’s only lost to Vandy once in the past 25 or 26 years and it’s the next to last game of the season so I think the Vols will have their shit together by then to at least avoid a loss. you never know though. I would have told you no in 2005 too (last time Vandy won).
September 5th, 2008 at 9:07 am
sparty – I had his jersey on in front of the TV and I felt it. I don’t think any DB should feel bad when Jacobs trucks them. He’s a f’ing monster once he gets downhill.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:12 am
ill-jason taylor is going to be nice. he was playing on a bad wheel, and he was handling mckenzie pretty well on running plays to that side.
September 5th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I’m guessing it’s a modern version of “Brewster’s Millions”-the Hulkster just can’t say anything or he’ll lose it all.
By the way, I liked Al give a subtle shout out to the gamblers at the end of last night’s game. What, that last drive wasn’t just for pride?
September 5th, 2008 at 9:47 am
GOOOOOO DORES!!!!!!!!!!! That was a huge win, confidence wise, for my boys in black and gold. Steve Spurrier is probably on suicide watch after losing us 2 years straight (last year was the first time he ever lost to Vanderbilt. Ever.)
Also, say what you will about Alec Baldwin personally, but he’s one of the funniest actors to ever live. He’s genius on 30 Rock and he’s right that My Name is Earl is done.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Britney spears was a coke head slut at age 14? I’m shocked.
September 5th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Was US Weekley unfair? The fact that you ask this question is a joke. Is Oprah a democrat? I expected more from a varsity letterman.
Looks like a loooooong season for the ‘Skins. Enjoy those apples DC.

WHO IS THE GIRL ON THE FAR LEFT ON THE COUCH IN THE WHITE TOP AND SKIRT? i fell in love with her in college

Good video of the US Weekly creep getting grilled by this hot-ass anchor.

September 5th, 2008 at 10:22 am
US Weekly picking that scary-ass picture was meaner than the headline…
September 5th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Here’s a great rundown of the allegations surrounding Palin, debunking some and confirming others
September 5th, 2008 at 11:19 am
Palin and the Rep’s make me laugh. They spend 2 entire days bashing everything liberal and anyone who’s a Dem and then McCain spends an hour wanting to “end partisan politics” and all is right in the world. The hypocrisy of their party would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.
September 5th, 2008 at 11:26 am
I can not honestly believe that someone would argue that an abortion is out of the question when the pregnancy came about by rape or incest…this is who we want a heartbeat away from becoming the leader of the free world? Wow.
September 5th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Don’t forget Palin also thinks Creationism should be taught in schools!
September 5th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Gods, it’s called adoption.
Also, it’s laughable you think only the Republican party is hypocritical.
How about you listen to your democrats talk out of both sides when they chide Palin for no experience while nominating a man with little experience.
September 5th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Obama was voted the winner of the democratic nomination, a grueling process that required about highly 20 highly covered debates plus a lengthy vetting and disection of Obama’s past and present views.
Palin was simply picked. That matters, IMO.
