The Roundup: Fun Night in Sports, Huh?
Baseball, College Basketball, College Football, NFL, NHL October 14th. 2008, 8:00am
There’s something in the eyes of Mila Kunis … both political candidates support the idea of unpenalized withdrawals from 401k accounts, which is ludicrous … if you really think Friday’s Dow plunge was the “bottom,” then drink again, says Bill Gates … absentee ballots say Osama, not Obama … what it sounds like to fire your mistress … after the jump, Kournikova gets sickly skinny again … Marcia Brady traded sex for cocaine … elephant sends a text message …

No.

Sparty, I’m going to be harsh on the Giants. I’m sure you’ll understand. Not reading too much into one loss, just trying to put things in perspective.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:09 am
oh, and not that anyone will care, but here’s the write up about yesterday’s list
October 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Perfect weekend for the Eagles, huh?
October 14th, 2008 at 8:17 am
hopefully that loss is a wake-up call to anyone in the lineup who thought they could roll teams every week. Spags will fix the holes from yesterdays horrid defensive performance. Blitz Kenny Phillips.

TBL, you should put that quote under your “About The Big Lead” tab up top.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:19 am
be harsh, they deserve it after last night.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Anna looks fine to me in that photo…
Jason, if you’re gonna be harsh on the Giants, just drop them to 32, and below your beloved Jets, as we all know the Jets played a hell of a lot better than the Giants did.

“Marcia Brady traded sex for cocaine”
“Marcia Brady was a crack whore”
/Urban Dictionaried
Crack Whore
1) A woman who exchanges sexual favours for crack-cocaine
2) A woman who exchanges sexual favours for money that she gives to her pimp, who in return gives her crack-cocaine
I don’t have enough crack for that crack whore.

TBL, missed your post yesterday about the track girl.
but i do seem to remember this from a few months ago
October 14th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Shouldn’t Clemson aim a little higher and go after Toledo’s coach?
And Anna looks fine in that pic to me too.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:39 am
No way: Rich Rodriguez could end up at Clemson.
I dont know if I believe the text in this story.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:43 am
that story about Dick Rod is good entertainment. imagine if it was true? what recruit would trust him?
October 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
I meant in the Media Kit.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
@sparty – the same ones that trust Petrino and Saban?
October 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
well it isn’t like he has a history of contract “issues” or anything…
October 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
The NFC East is a lot like the SEC, they are so much better than everyone else the other teams shouldn’t even bother showing up.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
The Giants are fine. This is the NFL, this shit happens every week. Nice to see Braylon bounce back, though.
But can you guess which one actually said this: “It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody that is behind you, that they have a chance for success too. I think that when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.€
October 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Those two sentences seem at odds with each other.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
@Mike – I know who said it and I was shocked that he would be bold enough to use the language “spread the wealth around” because he’s usually so careful with what he says. that’s a phrase/soundbite that can turn an election.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:47 am
“spreading the wealth around” ugghhhh fucking shoot me now
October 14th, 2008 at 8:48 am
The entire NFC East = FRAUD! Except for the Eagles!
Chicago = Fraud
Denver = Fraud
Carolina = Fraud
Parity sucks!
October 14th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Saban has won a title. that helps him, a lot.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
he’s a Jets fan.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
watched the video, seems to me what he meant by “spreading the wealth around” is giving tax breaks to middle class families not just to the wealthy
October 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
TBL – thanks for the Gladwell bomb to start the day. im useless for the morning. that guy is ridiculous.
October 14th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I love it when Barack talks all Marxist, it gives me even more HOPE
October 14th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Yeah, or something like that …
October 14th, 2008 at 9:03 am
he was talking about taxes, and seeing that’s one of his major positions in this campaign (tax breaks to those <250k) is it hard to imagine that’s what he meant? that “spreading the wealth” means giving more money (in the form of tax breaks), to the middle class
October 14th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Chicago = Fraud
Fraud? you guys wrote them off and still think that Minnesota is going to win the division.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:04 am
I know why I think it’s ludicrous; it’s just another example of fixing today to spite tomorrow, which is what got us into this mess in the first place. But why do you think it’s ludicrous?
October 14th, 2008 at 9:05 am
during the debate Obama promised me (less than 200K per/year) a tax break and free health care. i should expect this by when? 2-3 weeks into the new year? dem congress + dem white house = beauty and tranquility.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:05 am
i’m banking on the Lions, still.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:08 am
No one promised you free health care, herdatious.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:10 am
can we please stop confusing obama and clintons plans going forward, read this, it should help any confusion
October 14th, 2008 at 9:11 am
nice, coop. i was told on sunday that Penn State is no better than the fifth best team in the SEC.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:55 am
im pretty sure i heard hillrod talk about paying for her plan by making the industry more efficient… much like bama.
October 14th, 2008 at 9:55 am
TBL, look at you on that list, you little baby gorilla.
\Don Rickles’d
October 14th, 2008 at 10:19 am
go ahead and read that link i gave you and tell me anywhere it says “free health care”
October 14th, 2008 at 10:55 am
As someone who doesn’t believe in the federal income tax, this is not ludicrous whatsoever.
October 14th, 2008 at 10:57 am
As I understand it, this is only a temporary option to prevent further economic decay. Why is that so horrible?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:01 am
mmonast i read your link directly to the Obama website. Thanks for that unbiased look @ his plan.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:04 am
As someone who doesn’t believe in the federal income tax
wow.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:23 am
I’d like anyone who’s planning on voting for Obama to tell me how taking money from one person who earned it and giving it to someone who didn’t is anything but government sponsored theft.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:23 am
u claimed he wants to give “free health care” i just pointed out you were inaccurate…have you found anything,anywhere where he has ever said “im gonna give the US free health care?”
October 14th, 2008 at 11:25 am
@gimmie
this is what i took from his comment
October 14th, 2008 at 11:25 am
sorry that was for i pulled a groin
October 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Mmonast, don’t you see the relationship between:
1)the massive costs required to pass Obama’s health care plan, and
2)his increased taxes (”spreading the wealth around”) on rich people (who already pay more than two times the tax rate of us common folk)?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
But mmonast, he’s talking about giving tax breaks to people who already don’t pay taxes. Not only don’t you pay taxes but we’ll give you a check by taking it from someone else. If I meet you in the street and take your money at gunpoint, I’m guilty of armed robbery. How is Obama’s plan different?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:33 am
he doesn’t use a gun?
October 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Bingo!
