The Roundup: The Faux Rodgers-Romo Debate

Vanessa Hudgens, who you may recall was embroiled in a nude photo scandal last year … the international media can see that the bailout is a horrible idea, let’s hope Congress does … PETA remains crazy … Las Vegas is hurting for visitors … more on the arrests at Notre Dame from last weekend … J-E-S-T! … Joe Bidden’s FDR/TV flub (because it’s funny!) …”Claymates” will be crushed - Clay Aiken is gay … the Office returns tomorrow! … an eight-year jail sentence cut in half …

This would have been a better link for Clay Aiken
September 24th, 2008 at 8:10 am
I thought Aiken came out 1-2 years ago? Was that just a rumor?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:12 am
@NickP - you’re confusing Aiken with CRM.

That crazy broad getting out of jail already is unbelievable. The comparison to the Louis Vitton thief is a nice example of ridiculous the legal system is sometimes. That was murder, no questions asked.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:18 am
doesn’t Turner/CNN own SI? This doesn’t make much sense, letting a rival networks personality write for you.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:19 am
shilling or Schilling has Curt become a verb?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:20 am
probably right, Sparty.
Anyone else keep thinking it is thursday?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am
The phrase “human milk” is really disturbing.
It’s irrelevant to the story, but Brett is such an egotistical douchebag.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Clay Aiken is gay?! First Wham break up, now this!
September 24th, 2008 at 8:32 am

Yeah, but you need to have incentives for these criminals in jail. If you knew there was no way of possibly cutting time on your sentence, you would go in act however you wanted and prison would be a total riot.
TBL - I felt like yesterday was Wednesday. Does that count?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:33 am
I always thought the incentive was to behave so you DON’T have to go to jail.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Clay Aiken is gay?! In other news, the world is round, water is wet and Kevin Duckworth has died.

Clay Aiken is gay???
Next you’ll be telling me that kids on college campuses drink even though they are underaged.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:35 am
It’s not Thursday?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Olbermann and Patrick both make me want to vomit, they are possibly the most anal retentive jack asses ever put in front of a camera, and that article was terrible.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:36 am
not thursday? crap, means i still have two days until i get laid by the wife.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Why do people in position to give jobs think that Olberman is a draw. He fucking sucks. The fact that he doesn’t really give a shit about sports doesn’t help, but the fact that he just sucks hurts a lot.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:38 am
@Roethlis - That would be the ideal approach, but not the realistic one.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:40 am
+10 JS, sparty. I would love to see a poll of how many married men anticipate the weekend for this reason. and, I’d like a little extra in my paycheck this week to cover the cost of a new keyboard. thanks.

In an exclusive interview with TIME, Ruben Studdard just announced he likes to eat.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:42 am
/have I used that one yet?
//this will be the best game of the college football season so far.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Miz - don’t be mad. Although I do find your Bama fan pics funny.
I was offered LT and Boldin for M. Barber and Cotchery in a keeper league. I think I might do it because I already have Sproles and Boldin was taken in the 4th, so I could keep him next year.

@ill - I’m a realist; the Third Saturday in October is going to be ugly in Knoxville this year.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Ill - I’d probably make that trade.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:52 am
the Third Saturday in October is going to be ugly in Knoxville this year.
Remind me again what Saturday isn’t going to be ugly in Knoxville this year?

Come on Nick P - In college they’re “roommates.” After graduation they’re life partners.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:54 am
@NickP - you’re confusing Aiken with CRM.
I knew it when I saw the beard.
The phrase “human milk†is really disturbing.
Breast Milk(women) is so good.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:57 am
I’m confused (shocker!!). Either you’re saying that “The Third Saturday in October” is actually being held on the fourth saturday in October or you’re implying that I meant the Vols will make it ugly for Bammer.
If it’s the former, then yes, you’re correct. If it’s the latter, you’re incorrect. The implication was that I’m confident Tennessee will get smoked, yet again, by Bammer this year. I’m not mad about it; I’m a realist.
September 24th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Ill take that trade in a heartbeat
September 24th, 2008 at 8:59 am
@ill - I just got undonfused. you’re saying every saturday will be ugly in Knoxville this year. I wholeheartedly agree with that!
/I’m a facking moron!
September 24th, 2008 at 8:59 am
I dont know why they are making a big deal about the George Brett tape it was good entertainment. Is George Brett really pissed about this?
September 24th, 2008 at 8:59 am
undonfused = unconfused

I’d love to see Clay Aiken recite some dialogue from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I turned down a ticket to Alabama v. Georgia because it is a lot more convenient for me to get pants-shitting drunk in front of my Hitachi than it would be to find a black shirt and drive to Athens. While I am a little uneasy about my decision from an alcoholism and social activity standpoint, I am seriously looking forward to this game. I think both teams are a little overrated, but it will be a good test and should help everyone sort things out in the SEC. Jeezus, why is it only Wednesday?!?

you and George Brett both.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Miz - hahaha. Yes, I was taking a shot at UT.
Diesel/Roethlis - I think I will. It’s going to be hard to part with the Barbarian, but you have to sell high right?
September 24th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Ill - over the long haul and barring injury, Barber will likely be, at best, equal to LT. Boldin is a huge upgrade over Cotchery.

anyone else google the chick that is getting out of jail. murder isn’t cool, but she was really hot.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:19 am
You’re one sick puppy benji, but she is talented. You have to figure with that baggage she would be able to look past a lot of your flaws. An ugly dude could have a real steal.
Attractive people shouldn’t be subject to the same laws as fuglies anyway, just like rich people.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Haha, the Giants suspended Plaxico for two weeks for insubordination..
September 24th, 2008 at 9:29 am
CRMm, can’t believe 43 others didn’t ask why his pic wasn’t used for the roundup (VERY nsfw)

Coop, i’m googling any name that has model next to it unless it says plus size.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Hmm, bi-polar and a murdered, but hot. I guess that’s a push, tiebreaker going to how well she performs.
Plaxico is a moron if what Glazer reports is true.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:39 am
murderer.. god damn typos.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:40 am
That’s the line of the day!
September 24th, 2008 at 9:45 am
My thoughts exactly. I still can’t get over how weird looking that dude is.
September 24th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Michael Clayton is a decent cable viewing but I wouldn’t call it must see.
