Peek after the jump, and see if you can find the symmetry between photos … if Ashton Kutcher were your football coach, would you ask him why he’s not focusing on his awful movie career? … “sticks and stones and weed and bones” … while his papers struggle and layoffs continue, the man prepares for another lavish bash … crumbling: the banking industry … if you’re a Grand Theft Auto fan … you say it’s too doom and gloom; check back in six months from now …

Herm Edwards is the worst head coach ever. He has managed to make me hate my favorite team. He rolled out thre fucking QBs before the first quarter was over.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:08 am
Love the “hey OJ say hello to Clarett for us” sign.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:13 am
you try making lemonade with those lemons!
September 15th, 2008 at 8:18 am
KC doesn’t have squat for personnel. Their O-Line is horrendous. Tony Gonzalez is beginning to become long in the tooth. Larry Johnson has yet to recover from 400+ carries, their receivers are jokes. Oh, and the QBs all suck.

nothing like Jessica Simpson to start my day off

cant wait to see it
GO BILLS

Anyone see the comically horrific start for the Niners yesterday? It is a freaking miracle they won that game.
From what I can remember of the first quarter it included a Frank Gore fumble, a JT O’Sullivan fumble, Manny Lawson blocking a punt which the Seahawks picked up and ran for a first down, and the Niners failing to down a punt inside the five that was rather routine.
And finally, on the financial sector meltdown, this is good:
“My goodness. I’ve been in the business 35 years, and these are the most extraordinary events I’ve ever seen.”
– Former Nixon Commerce Secretary Peter G. Peterson, quoted by the New York Times, on the crisis in the financial markets.

was anyone else sitting on their couch about 6pm friday night and trying to convince themselves to get up and fill their car? i didn’t listen to myself, therefore i paid $0.40 more per gallon Saturday morning.
if anyone that comes here to comment, and was hit by the hurricane, I hope you are ok. not that you could read this right now…
September 15th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Bravo for the photos this morning. Coincidence that it’s Romo’s BF vs. Ms. Meester for my eyeballs’ attention tonight?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Jay Cutler + Ryan Longwell= 60 points this weekend
ballin
September 15th, 2008 at 8:37 am
kurt warner + Chris Johnson + Jonathan Stewart w/ Barber tonight
ballin
September 15th, 2008 at 8:39 am
I’m a Marion Barber touchdown away from a 3-0 week.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:40 am
3-0? did you play preseason?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:42 am
the hurricane spiked prices? Weird, because Oil dipped under $100 a barrel last night.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:43 am
ding ding ding
I can’t believe a Colts fan put that together … figured you all would be still drunk after that LUCKY win yesterday. hope you sent T Jack a thank you card …
September 15th, 2008 at 8:43 am
1 win each of 3 leagues
September 15th, 2008 at 8:46 am
i have a 9 pt lead on Imig going into tonight. he has Romo, i have McNabb.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Does anyone else think LaDainian Tomlinson is a pussy?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Yeah, yeah. Call it luck if you want, a win’s a win. Pretty soon they’ll get their linemen back and Manning will have more than 1.5 secs to find his receivers.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Seriously a Jessica Simpson Pic?
Terry Bradshaw literate? Nah.
Anyone throwing up is funny.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I have a 37 point lead over my opponent going into tonight’s game. I got the Barbarian and he has Westbrook and Whitten. I got this win in the bag right? Right
@TBL- Devery Henderson huh? great pick up for Colston? hahahah
i suggest picking up Chris Johnson RB Tenn if he is still available. fastest dude in the league and he makes plays
September 15th, 2008 at 8:50 am
fastest dude in the league and he makes plays
Sproiles says suck it.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:50 am
If Chris Johnson is still available in any league you’re playing in you need to find a new one.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:51 am
it was a true supply-demand problem. the prices actually didn’t spike from the cost of oil so hopefully they’ll go back down real quick. they jumped here in Jax-area about $0.50 from friday to saturday and was up to $5.00+ in northeast Tennessee where my parents are.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Oil prices drop below $95 a barrel, but prices in Indy went up .75 from Friday nite to Sunday morning…How do those oil companies make 11 billion in quarterly profit again?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Actually – if he’s still available please let me know so I can join your league next year.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:54 am
I would pick chris Johnson but Lindale White has more TDs than him.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Are we going to have an “In Memoriam” post for Spence – it’s likely he committed suicide after the OSU/Browns debacle over the weekend.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:55 am
it was due to delivery costs going up with the refineries being shut down in TX. but what we could learn from this is that we need more refineries, go figure.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Anyone watch the premiere of Fringe? Wanted to get an opinion before I watch it online.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:57 am
definitely not safe for work, but this chick is on howard stern now
REPEAT – not safe for work.

September 15th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Spencer got 107 points from Jay Cutler to beat me in our fantasy league over the weekend. He deserves no sympathy.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Can you really consider two inferior teams losing to two superior teams a debacle?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am
@bsanders- Oprah.com has the preview for it up right now
September 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Anyone watch the premiere of Fringe?
My friends say its good. I just dont get into shows like that.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Irish, how ’bout them Panthers? Stewart is a stud, now I wish I hadn’t traded away Chris Johnson in the preseason …
September 15th, 2008 at 9:02 am
definitely not safe for work, but this chick is on howard stern now
REPEAT – not safe for work.

It never ceases to amaze me what you can find on the Internet. I don’t think I’ll be clicking on the “meatloaf farts” link. I will, however, be coming back for the banana bread blumpkin.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:03 am
I liked fringe okay..Joshua Jackson was hot(not that you would care). The beginning scenes in the airplane are pretty gross but cool. Let me know what you think..
September 15th, 2008 at 9:03 am
@mike NYC- he scored 19 points for me yesterday. Stewart is a beast
September 15th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Mike – I’ll never wonder why anyone trades players in the preseason. Based on what, exactly?
I do wish i had traded Moss after Brady went down. I envision so bad, bad Sundays for the best receiver in NFL history (yup, i went there). I’d take Moss over Rice.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:05 am
What the hell kind of scoring system are you using?
September 15th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Words Cannot Describe Meatloaf Farts
September 15th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Im at work Ive done all sorts of NSFW things but Im not taking a chance on Cakefarts if they do an audit I dont want that on there I can justify Hollywood Tuna but no excuse for cakefarts. Im curious though what is it.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Based on CJ’s hype, which was through the roof, and which he’s so far lived up to. It basically got me Witten in return but I wish I hadn’t done it now. Oh well, that’s what Stewart is there for …
September 15th, 2008 at 9:08 am
@sparty – Herm had a say in all of the personnel, so he should be taking more heat than he is. Peterson should have been gone a long time ago.
At least KC isn’t the only team 0-2. So they aren’t quite the worst team in the NFL yet.
/total bullshit, they are the worst
September 15th, 2008 at 9:09 am
@Tampo Bo
It is a girl with no pants on smearing her ass with and farting on a chocolate frosted cake.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:11 am
@Roeth: all the scoring is normal, except the QB scoring is ridiculous.
1 point every 25 yards
6 points passing TD
2 points for every passing completion
i’m not sure who came up with this silly scoring rule. oh yeah, it was Spencer himself.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:11 am
I went to a bar and there was one Raiders fan surrounded by a whole bunch of Cheifs fans. “Looks like a first down bitch” and “Touchdown Motherfucker” were my two favorites.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Cgb-What! Thats fucking gross…I might click on it.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Fringe is good, but yeah, talk about that at oprah.com.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:22 am
thanks Spencer, i got a great day out of Rivers. RexKramerFantasyLoser goes down!
September 15th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Cakefarts? WTF? I cant risk it after last week.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:44 am
@TBL
Moss over Rice?????
You must be out of your %$#@* mind.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Why?
Moss is taller and faster, and if not for a few years in purgatory, er, Oakland, he’d be on pace to set some WR career records.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:56 am
1. I really liked Fringe and am going to stick with it. Was PUMPED to see the preview for the new season of 24!!
2. Yahoo can suck my non-existent balls. I’m not shelling out ANY money just so I can see my fantasy stats during the games in non-money league.
3. F Greg Olsen and F Ron Turner.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Rice is the best player in NFL history. Although I do agree Moss is one of the best WR’s of all time. Rice is the best player of all time.
Rice: 22 TD’s in 12 games.
Moss: 23 TD’s in 16 games.
Holds over 100 NFL records. The guy was amazing. Moss is more acrobatic and athletic. Rice got the job done.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Chris Johnson + Jonathan Stewart
Both were on my bench yesterday. AAARGH! SJax and Maroney are killing me.
Do you own a car, TBL? I’m surprised that you are surprised about gas prices.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:12 am
GYD – Yes. But working from home, I only drive once a day – to the gym and back. I fill up the tank (small, old, used car) once every three weeks or so.
September 15th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
if you’re a Grand Theft Auto fan
no need to be a fan of GTA to like this jam. Well done TBL
