Marisa Miller really knows how to rock a tight dress … we’re fans of Keri Russell, but Details somehow managed to produce not-that-hot photos of her … Ohio, of course: Man shoots woman during sex … if you’re think you’re frugal, consider these folks, then get back to us … drunk hockey player, but cooler blog name … GWB moving to nice spread in Dallas … third video, 55 seconds in, should generate a reaction …

sparty, i must say, you’re always one of the first here at 8. are you at work or at home? im impressed with your ability to always be one of the first here.

TBL-at work at 7am everyday.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:18 am
Is Keri Russell on heroin? She looks awful. Then again, I don’t think she’s as hot as TBL likes to think.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:22 am
read: we fully intend on using these pics of Keri Russell in The Roundup soon.

sparty = carlos mencia?

i guess there’s the HOT camp, and then the DAMN SHE IS ATTRACTICE camp, which is more reserved for actresses who don’t have fake cans or wear dresses that barely cover them up.
7 am? not bad. im at my “desk” at 6 am.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:25 am
miz- +1. too lazy to go back and look who said that yesterday when we reported it. i am banking on knightwhosaysni.

TBL in the mornings?

my first post is done by 630am. Luckily I am only a 10min drive from where I work.

Good read from the WSJ about Plax and NYC gun laws:
New York City’s Gun Law is Unconstitutional
His impending mandatory sentence highlights the unfairness and unconstitutionality of New York City’s draconian gun laws.

Hef wins because he usually shows up by 9 LeBron Standard Time and he lives in Asia or something.

Is it possible to be more smitten with Marisa Miller? I have to say, the chick definitely understands marketing after listening to that interview.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:33 am
PurdueMatt - next thing you are going to tell us is that government enforced, separation of church & state is unconstitutional.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Save it for the football post please.

CRM, I thought we went over this?
Before the adoption of time zones, people used local solar time. Originally this was apparent or true solar time, as shown by a sundial, and later it became mean solar time, as kept by most mechanical clocks. Mean solar time has days of equal length, but the difference between mean and apparent solar time, called the equation of time, averages to zero over a year.
Local time is UTC plus the current time zone offset for the considered location.
The use of local time became increasingly awkward as railways and telecommunications improved, because clocks differed between places by an amount corresponding to the difference in their geographical longitude, which was usually not a convenient number. This problem could be solved by synchronizing the clocks in all localities, although in many places the local time would then differ markedly from the solar time to which people were accustomed. Time zones are thus a compromise, relaxing the complex geographic dependence while still allowing local time to approximate the mean solar time. There has been a general trend to push the boundaries of time zones further west of their designated meridians in order to create a permanent daylight saving time effect. The increase in worldwide communication has further increased the need for interacting parties to communicate mutually comprehensible time references to one another.

New York City’s Gun Law is Unconstitutional
Someone here has said this. Cant remember who though.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Umm, is it just me, or should that Texas Tech player’s drug bust headline read more like this:
“Roommate of All-American and future top 10 draft pick in the NFL draft, Michael Crabtree, busted for selling cocaine”
How is this not a bigger story. You are telling me Crabtree had NO idea his roommate was a cocaine dealer???
December 5th, 2008 at 8:52 am
@JohnnyB: I didn’t know my roommate doesn’t answer the door while he’s eating until recently.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Really, Shaun, you couldn’t afford to get car insurance? That was the most surprising part of the story. And Ellis better get a 1 game suspension if the NFL plans on being consistent(Kevin Faulk).
December 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
JohnnyB - My freshman year roommate was a huge fan of the band Adema. I had no idea until he mentioned something about it the next fall when we were having lunch together. Needless to say, I was shocked. You can’t be expected to know everything about your roommate.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I had no idea until he mentioned something about it the next fall when we
were having lunch togetherwent to see Soul Food./CRM

@ benji and CRM:
Valid points. I guess we can’t always know everything about our roommates.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Soul Food? Isn’t that an ethnic dish?

@CRM: air-five!!
December 5th, 2008 at 8:59 am
JonnyB-I had no Idea my roommate jacked off in my room on a regular basis. One day I went to Starbucks and I came back and there he was butt naked in front of my computer he said he thought I was at work. I was disgusted. Roommates are Tricky. Crabtree should have done a background check.
December 5th, 2008 at 8:59 am
have a feeling the post after this will make some folks upset
December 5th, 2008 at 9:00 am
On a serious note, of course Crabtree knew his roommate was selling drugs. If you’re a Heisman candidate and more people are coming to your room to see your Poly-Sci major roommate, you might be living with a drug dealer.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:00 am
thunder. stolen.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Roommates are like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
/runs out of the room crying because my roommate likes to rape clowns
December 5th, 2008 at 9:01 am
notice how the story also reads as if the guy is a scrub. like he doesn’t matter. maybe mike leach was interviewing in washington because he knew something was up?
December 5th, 2008 at 9:02 am
PurdueMatt=TBL???

December 5th, 2008 at 9:05 am
i didn’t know my roommate was jewish until i said “do you want to order cable or should i?” and he responded with “i don’t think i want to pay for cable.”
December 5th, 2008 at 9:11 am
it’s nice seeing michelle wie do well…her parents and david leadbetter fucked over her career so far and she’s outrageously talented. i wouldnt be surprised if she dominated Q School from here on out.
December 5th, 2008 at 9:20 am
TBL:
I would say so.
I just can’t believe that nationally this isn’t a bigger story??? Surely this will break and turn into a big deal over the next couple of days. Heck, I could see Crabtree borrowing a few grand here and there, with the promise to pay it back when he signs a pro deal. This could have all kinds of twists to it.

Also, according to the Birmingham News, Houston Nutt and Jimbo Fisher are the leading candidates for the Auburn job!
If they forced Tuberville out and are thinking of hiring one of these two, WOW.
As someone who lives in Northwest Arkansas and has seen HDN up close and personal. He will link his name to any job to get a raise and more job security. BUT, I think he might actually think he was good enough and try to go head to head with Saban. HDN is the most mediocre coach in the country. He must also have the best agent to get this much pub anytime a job opens.
I also don’t get the hype on Jimbo Fisher? WTF has he ever accomplished? He has superior athletes in a weak conference and he can’t even get his offense going there. He really want to match up with SEC defenses weekly?
I feel sorry for Auburn fans…
December 5th, 2008 at 9:50 am
I thought Jimbo Fisher was the coach in waiting at FSU?? Does that mean Mickey Andrews might finally get his shot?
December 5th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Johnny, that’s hilarious, although I bet you and I are the only ones on here who think so. I actually kind of like Auburn, at least as far as other sec teams go. I would feel pretty bad for their fans down on the plains if they end up with nutt.
December 5th, 2008 at 10:53 am
HAHAHAHAHAHA
did anyone see that video of the cop shooting himself in a gun safety class?!
It’s the third video TBL talked about. It’s al the way at the bottom of the page he linked to. Wait ’til his assistant pulls out the assault rifle…
December 5th, 2008 at 11:18 am
No kidding. Oddly enough, I think a lot of Hog fans’ second fav team is Auburn. I know I feel that way. Maybe it was Tuberville, being from Arkansas and seeming like the guy we should of had to begin with instead of HDN.
Either way, if HDN gets this job it will be high comedy. He may be able to save their recruiting class, but he will get it taken to him each week in Bama. He thought he had pressure at Arkansas. He needs to check Tubbs record for the last 5 years. Would be hard for any coach to duplicate that.
December 5th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Auburn can go to hell for taking away my scholarship, but otherwise getting rid of Tuberville was a bad move.
Also, I was wondering when a Jets player would just completely fuck up during the season. We need to bring back John “4 drink Minny” Abraham.
