Anytime we get lazy or can’t find a pic, we’re going to fall back on a handful of favorites, and Sophia Bush falls into that category … if any of you go and sign this, it will make us happy … if you want to watch Tom Brady limp through the streets of New York … man charged with battery for farting near cop … Hef’s harem is falling apart … Letterman was not thrilled with McCain for bailing last night … the rise of the neck tattoo … Natalie Portman’s back on the market …

Just when you thought you knew America…
September 25th, 2008 at 8:09 am
God bless Letterman.
Not surprised about the ratings for the Yankee Stadium finale. This is the time of year that all but “real” baseball fans are tired of the sport, and especially the Yankees.
I’m really going to enjoy the next month without them, and without the constant BJ’s Jeter gets from the FOX announcers.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:11 am
As much as ESPN wanted to ram it down our throats, most of us actually do not care about Yankee Stadium.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:13 am
i was so foolish. i thought this was going to be Rex’s post from yesterday.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:14 am
You should’ve you the picture of her bruised and busted up.

Baron Davis, following in the fat footsteps of Deron Williams:
Ouch, TBL. But well done.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:17 am
So, wait, so guy’s wife has been living with Hef for years?
By the way, the photo in the beer pong article should have been the roundup photo.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:18 am
sportsdork – i guess baron’s fatness is ‘filler,’ too
September 25th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Letterman still has a show?
Forgive me (and I’m sure the McCain camp and all of America for that matter) for not taking his political advice seriously.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:21 am
based on the last couple years, you would have only had to endure the Yanks for 5-6 additional days.

Miz, your comment?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Jimmy Chitwood — You’d really have to be McCain true believer to think yesterday’s campaign “suspension” was anything but a political stunt.
Letterman was calling it like he sees it, which he’s always done on his show. Yeah, he still has a show — likely because he’s never been a complete sellout or corporate shill like Leno.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:27 am
@TBL – you left out the best part of the Fulmer quote. right before he said “We know what we’re doing.” he said “We didn’t all of a sudden get stupid as coaches.”
he’s right; they got stupid sometime between 2000 and 2004 and have stayed stupid.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Don’t forget the main reason that Yankees game got poor ratings is because the 2 most popular football teams, Packers and Cowboys, played a game at the same time.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:30 am
my full, on-the-record comment was about 2000 words long.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:31 am
benji-true. but even so, not too surprising. remember that the World Series ratings were in the shitter back during the Subway Series. no competition then, and that was thought to be pretty historical since it had not happened in almost 50 years.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:31 am
How do you find such… knowledge… like that? Do look up “legal sheep sex” or something? And if Mike Vick had “relations” with his dogs in Michigan, instead of fighting them in Virgina, would he still be playing football?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:31 am
I thought the Yankees got poor ratings is because of the lack of interest in two non playoff teams…
September 25th, 2008 at 8:32 am
benji — That certainly could have factored in.
But it’s not like anyone outside of Yankee Nation really gives a crap about that place closing. Take away that football game and the ratings still would have been crap.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:32 am
sparty, you’re right. i guess i shouldn’t have said main reason. but a large part was because of that. it needed to be mentioned.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:33 am
TBL – I’m not supporting this “bail out” plan by any means, but I think my opinion on it will be stronger once more details are laid out. Truth is, there hasn’t been much detail given out (assuming there even is any detail) to the public so I don’t know exactly what to think.
F Romo
September 25th, 2008 at 8:34 am
F Romo
Finally, something we can all agree on.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:34 am
no official TBL comments on DWTS’ Kardashian? Is the infatuation waning?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Bail out plan or not, I do know that our economy is in a lose/lose situation.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:36 am
I’m sure McCain’s decision was mostly political (and not very wise in my opinion), but I don’t expect (or want) Letterman to provide political commentary. More than likely he was just upset that McCain had the audacity to cancel his appearance.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:40 am
i think he was over her months ago. i was in the line at the grocery store and she was on the cover of some magazine with the headline “How I Stay Thin.” gave me a chuckle.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:43 am
Bizarre video of cops tasering a nude man, who then dies.
Cops are so damn tazer happy now its rediculous.
Stabbed for breaking beer pong rules.
Flip cup rules!
September 25th, 2008 at 8:43 am
yeah, leave the political commentary to bloggers and those that comment!
September 25th, 2008 at 8:43 am
So McCain fulfilling his duties as, uh, Senator, was a stunt … while Obama crams for the debates in FLA, saying if he can be “helpful”, he’ll go to DC. Then Bush summons him, and he’s there anyway.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Fulfilling his duties as Senator by going on a different show and getting interviewed by somebody else? I think that’s what Letterman was pissed about.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:46 am
true story: was watching DWTS with the wifey two night ago and Kardashian and her partner did a dance to “Baby Got Back.”
who wants to join a fantasy dancing league!?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Mike NYC — Come one, you’re too smart to actually believe what you just typed.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Tampa Bo – Flip Cup is for females, they are naturally better at it than males. Saying flip cup is better than beer pong is like saying bochee ball is better than horse shoes.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:47 am
Yes, Letterman was pissed that McCain lied to him. Said he couldn’t do the show because he was going back to Washington.
Then Letterman found out that not only was in he in New York during the taping of his show, he was in CBS Studios watching Palin get interviewed. So yeah, you’re right crack jack.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:49 am
you have been suspended.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Did I hear on the radio yesterday that Starbury is done with the Knicks?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Ill the only thing females are naturally better at are giving bjs and having babys.
/science
Flip Cup>Beer Pong
September 25th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Maybe McCain somehow thinks that a news program is more important than appearing on a has-been late night talk show.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:51 am
I’m not talking about Letterman, I couldn’t care less what he thinks.
But is this $700 billion bailout — something TBL’s been obsessing about for days — important enough to command the attention of the two guys running for president? Was the whole “suspending my campaign” a little dramatic? Sure … but addressing the problem as a Senator instead of saying, Call me if I’m needed? Not so much.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:52 am
This stuff is getting scary.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:52 am

Why dont my links work?
September 25th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I had a student fart on me once. I pissed him off because I wouldn’t let him sleep through my class. So he walked up to me, stuck out his ass, and farted on me.
Unsure of what to do, I blinked at him. Then I … ahem … wrote his ass up.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:54 am
I believe I used the phrase:
“Student Name then proceeded to fart on me.”
September 25th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Was the whole “suspending my campaign†a little dramatic? Sure …
OK, so we agree it was a political stunt. Awesome.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:56 am
Tampa Bo – you forgot to mention cleaning.
Horse shoes > beer pong > doing homework > flip cup
September 25th, 2008 at 8:58 am
illformula — You feel that strongly negative about flip cup? I always enjoyed that one in college, though it’s difficult to play for long because you drink so much.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:59 am
I was being a participatory husband. you should try it. it’s the nice thing to do and sometimes it will speed this up…
September 25th, 2008 at 9:00 am
On the non-serious side… I love me some Sophia Bush. However, does anyone else think that, in this picture only, she looks like a pre-meth Kirsten Dunst?
September 25th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Wally-agreed. When I first saw it I thought it was post rehab and steak dinner Dunst.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:05 am
What a sad, sad life you have.
Beer Pongs > Quarters > Asshole > Drinking Jenga > Flipcup
September 25th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Sportsdork – I’m not a big fan. Girls always loved to play it because they’re inherently good at it. It may have been the multiple loses in the guys vs girls games in college that ruined me – always been a sore loser.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:05 am
norm mcdonald is hilarious at the 903 mark of the stern show today.
“What happens in vegas stays in vegas. you want to know what that really means? You can fuck a prostitute in vegas, your wife won’t find out. they’re very discreet. not like those small town blabbermouth whores.”
he sounds angry
September 25th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Coop – I forgot about quarters. There are a bunch of different quarters games that are beast. In Drinking Jenga, are there different amounts of drinks on each block? Or do you just drink if you make it fall?
September 25th, 2008 at 9:14 am
WHat exactly is Drinking Jenga? I’ve played Jenga while drinking, but i’m not sure if we added extra rules.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Each block has instructions, like Drink 4 (you drink 4 times) or Give 5 (you hand out 5 drinks). You can have special blocks to have a Waterfall or Group Chug. So every block taken out involves drinking. If if falls you have to chug a beer.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:17 am
sounds fun. did you make it or buy it?
September 25th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Leno’s a giant fuckdouche, but he still has a show, too – and (surprising to me because he’s lamer than amputee porn) he crushed Letterman every night.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:21 am
The ones I’ve seen were made, I think there are some instructions online that even out the number give/take and what not. I’ve heard rumor that you can buy them too, but I believe they were non-official Jenga pieces.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:24 am
diversity of TBL commenters includes music snobs, beer snobs, pizza snobs, hoagie snobs, running shoe snobs, and now late-night talk show snobs.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:25 am
i think i have mentioned this before. by Rehab Jenga is the best. watching dope fiends on Thorazine or Ativan try to keep a steady hand is hysterical.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:27 am
McCain has missed more votes this year than every Senator save the guy who had brain surgery. Don’t give the “he just wants to help America” crap. He is getting smoked in the polls and has to do something. He has admitted the economy is his weak area and now he must look like he knows what he is doing.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:27 am
@mizerle — Ha!
I’m certain I qualify for at least three of those categories (music, hoagie, late-night talk show).
September 25th, 2008 at 9:27 am
@sparty – LOL. Sorry, but that’s funny.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Drinking Jenga is pretty fun, until you get the one drunk asshole (usually my roommate* from undergrad) comes in and kicks over the tower.
*Not roommate like fetch uses the word.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:28 am
ill-meant to be funny. no apology needed.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:31 am
miz: Did you hear? We probably lost Nunes (Our biggest QB recruit thanks to the game last Saturday). Apparently all the recruits are really not loving the product and boo birds. Sounds like the ripple effects are just beginning. But Fulmer knows what he’s doing….right…
September 25th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I heard, Sean Jean. you saw the recruiting class that signed after the ‘05 season. this one will likely pale in comparison.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Roscoe Parrish out 4-6 weeks
that is news to me. Thanks for the update
GO BILLS
September 25th, 2008 at 9:39 am
It has started out great though, but like you said, I imagine it is going to implode from here on out.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:45 am
He hasnt been an, uh, Senator, for the past two years, he has been running for President. This was a complete stunt. Only the McCain kool-aid drinkers think differently. He is falling in the polls, and didnt this happen only after Obama called him first?
September 25th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I’m pretty sure McCain called Obama, but either way McCain wanting to suspend the campaign is a stunt to try to make Obama look bad and it’s pretty stupid.
Miz calling out the snobs, yes!
September 25th, 2008 at 10:04 am
cbh, here’s the timeline that was reported:
