The Roundup: Jozy the Blogger, the Stripper Suing Shaun Rogers, and Cheerleader Bloopers
Uncategorized August 23rd. 2007, 7:00am
Apologies for the incessant Wonder Years banter, but Denise the Grease showed up last night (Calvin!), and we give her the nod over Madeline … we are now Tivoing all old 90210 episodes – they just started college – and OC episodes from the first year, so we may be referencing these shows from time to time … Brandon Webb’s scoreless streak ended at 42 innings last night … yes, Bill Murray got busted for DUI in Sweden while driving a golf cart … nice to see Apple stock soaring again – it’ll hit 175 by year’s end … we’re not going to announce the Sprewell comment winner – we’re just going to toss up their post Friday around noon …

Denise over Madeline? ANYONE over Madeline? I won’t even dignify the notion with an attempted argument.
Great episode though.

That ESPN column was a jumbled mess.
Terrible writing.
Has the MLB player’s union helped any of the roids guys? Jeesh, talk about erecting a three thousand foot tall straw man…
He writes like a guy who thinks he knows how unions work in some sort of worker’s utopia…
Very naive…

Here’s my question:
Before the USA/Venezuela game, Walton showed up on ESPNews. He was there…live…in Bristol…on set…in a sweatshirt (way to look like a pro).
Two minutes after his segment ended, I switched to Classic to watch the start of the USA/Venezuela game. And who’s providing color? Walton!
So, were the calling the game from Bristol while it was played in Vegas? Was that ESPNews segment filmed before he went to Vegas and falsely shown as “live.” Are there two Bill Waltons?

Bill Walton is clearly a manufactured line of cyborgs. If you peel away his synthetic flesh you will see a robotic chassis and evil red eye a la the Terminator.

Sean Jean, is his core made of several pints of Cherry Garcia?

Re: FF costing corporate America millions.
Same BS as the NCAA tourney costing millions. This crap has been disproven time and time again, yet the idiot media keeps throwing it out there every year just like a college newspaper throws out the, “Binge Drinking is Bad,” articles every year. Garbage.

The Bill Walton cyborg is powered up with hash brownies.

Didn’t Webb make it to 42 1/3 since there was 1 out when Fielder hit the RBI single? Everywhere I’ve read says 42 but what about the extra 1/3? An awesome streak nonetheless.

Wow that ESPN column was pretty good. Maybe because personally I’m a labor guy myself, but I thought his incite was great–but running in great dissonance with the “fanatic” and their support of the “shield.”
I honestly don’t think most fans believe NFL players are human beings.

Madaline….hot, and it got him to open up his eyes to other chick’s, other than that prude Winney.

Did you catch ProFootballTalk’s take on the Bryant article? I think they summed it best. Labor friendly or not, Bryant’s logic is insane. A Union is built to protect the workforce against unfair practices of the management (among other ideals) and not to step into situations like this that deserve absolutely no attention. If Mike Vick was killing the dogs because Arthur Blank was forcing him too… then thats another story. Even if the situations were changed, and this was the auto industry or casinos or whatever, those unions would take the same exact stance that Upshaw is.

Unless you’re the ACLU, you have to pick your battles. If Upshaw is smart he’ll wait until the heat surrounding Vick has dissipated and then work on getting him allowed back into the league. Why start that battle now when Vick is going to be in prison through the next 2 NFl seasons?
As for Starbury claiming that Vick is a good human being – I’d hate to meet his definition of a bad human being.

profootballtalk is the best site for breaking nfl news and rumors, and i agree with maxbcat, the howard bryant article is a load of sh-t. also bill walton is a joke , all he can do is read off a teleprompter

miker1124 – nice find on The Wonder Years Girls.
About that Cameron Martin piece on Howard Stern, I never really listened to him because he wasn’t on in the Seattle market until a couple of years before he left for Sirius. Martin’s column was dumb though. I read Martin’s piece right after reading Andy Rooney’s column that Fire Joe Morgan linked to.

I just read the two dumbest columns I’ve ever read. That’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back. I thought sports columnists couldn’t get any worse; I was wrong.
