The Roundup: Mascot Rankings, American Gladiators and Al Horford Talks to a Blogger

Rachel Bilson is one of our favorites, and we eagerly await this GQ to hit newsstands … fun interview with an NBA writer coming later today … RIP Brad Renfro … we can’t say it enough – wear your seat belts, people … 10 years later - the most talked about stain in the history of stains … never heard of trucknuts, but there’s a move to ban them, and it seems terribly wrong … David Spade is lucky to have scored Jillian Grace (further linking is too dangerous, but if you google, you will be pleased), but as Howard Stern talked about for nearly 30 minutes this morning, he’s going to have to cough up major bucks … should the runner with prosthetic blades for legs be allowed to run in the Olympics? … just a wild prediction, and it’s not totally based on this interesting piece – the DOW will go from five digits to four by August 1 …

Norm Chow was fucked from the moment they drafted VY. i feel bad for the guy.

Jeff Foxworthy thinks you might be a redneck if you like trucknuts.

1. On the paper shredding incedent. Who in the fuck doesn’t shred documents when leaving one job to go to another? Isn’t that pretty common place? Not to mention anything in hard copy is on some sort of hard drive somewhere unless he is still using a typewriter and in West Virginny I have to assume this is a possibility. This story is a complete non-story. In Rod we trust.
2. The one ring to rule them all story is freaking hilarious. Lost in the ocean, then lost again, too funny!

tbl if you like A cup hotties than yes, i see how rachel bilson is your favorite. i need more of a handful myself. im surprised the packer game isnt earlier on sunday because it is going to be freezing. cheeseheads better drink alot to stay warm.
i think the prothestic leg guy should run in the special olympics
January 16th, 2008 at 8:51 AM
Oh and the Colorado Buffalo says all those other mascots betta watch deh back.
January 16th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
Anybody that would buy trucknuts should have them stapled to their forehead.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:01 AM
@ Maggs: Yes, but that stuff is state property, since he was an employee of WVU at the time. Still doubt anything happens, but it was worth reporting.
@TBL: Who’s the NBA writer? Hopefully not Kelly Dwyer.

Spade is a pimp. But getting this bimbo pregnant is a total disaster. Not only is he going to have to shell out a ton of money, but his child will be half retarded. And something tells me this chick, who screwed Pauly Shore, isnt going to stay in Playboy shape once this kid comes.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:04 AM
@ Nick
He was actually the Michigan coach by that time unless I am mis-informed. Which also begs the question; who lets another schools head football coach walk into thier office and start shredding stuff? I’m just sayin’.

The first time I saw trucknuts was on 66 in between Manassas and Front Royal Virginia. That alone should speak volumes about the type of people who have them.
A big fan of Bilson and personally don’t care about cup size. She has a nice body and is hot as hell.

Trucknuts are commonplace here in greater metropolitan Raymond, GA too. Every time I see those things I wonder what in the world kind of mouth breather is operating the vehicle they’re attached to….
January 16th, 2008 at 9:08 AM
We talked to Kelly Dwyer ages ago.
Do you really think the Manassas/Front Royal area is trucknut territory?
January 16th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Sounds like a Miller High Life slogan.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
TBL, personally I think that anything outside the beltway (In Virginia)is Trucknut territory. Call me a DC snob if you will, but just speaking from personal experience.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
David Spade lives a charmed life, does he not.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
I for one don’t want to live in a country that outlaws truck nuts. First they take our truck nuts, then they’ll take our jobs.
They took ‘eeerr jobbbbs
January 16th, 2008 at 9:20 AM
I live around some real hicks and I have never seen Trucknuts. They are magnificent. If they were outlawed, how could we profile total rednecks?

The reason UCONN ladies hoops owns the sport is because Gino acts like a men’s coach. The reason no other team can catch them is because they whine and cry when the Huskies blast them. Gino gets that its about winning, not how you look, (crying about a tie? AYFKM? a lot of women’s coaches are women not wearing ties), or how he acts on the sideline. He’s an egomaniac, and the best coach in the country. The reason they ended the Tennessee game is that Summit accused Gino of stealing her recruits. If this happened in the mens game, they would have to fold the sport.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:24 AM
When Gino gets a headache, does he take Midol?
January 16th, 2008 at 9:25 AM
i once saw some trucknuts in upstate new york/lower connecticut on the back of a ford mustang. i was displeased.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
@Pat: Settle down, pal. Why don’t you take a few plays off?
January 16th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
@412, He gets his headaches from whiny women, so he does what the rest of us do, he goes to the bar.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:27 AM
@Nick, ok, I’ll play 2nd half Cowboys for a while.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Women’s basketball…that’s cute.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:31 AM
It really not about the game, its about the pricks that reside in Syracuse.
January 16th, 2008 at 9:46 AM
The DJIA won’t lose 20+% of its value in the next 6 months.
January 16th, 2008 at 10:14 AM
pkiguy22, you are a DC snob. There, I feel better.
My future brother in law has put trucknuts on both his pickups. If you met him, you would understand.
January 16th, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Who gets Jillian Grace next after Pauly Shore and David Spade?
This afternoon, Artie Lange will be weeping while sitting on the end of his bed.
January 16th, 2008 at 10:21 AM
Maybe Saban will pick up Chow, with Major Applewhite returning to Texas.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Irish, Packer game is the late game because the NFL alternates every year having the different conferences have the first game or the last game, it is the NFC’s turn to have the last one on Championship Sunday.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:16 AM
i come into work late after a doctor’s appt and what am i greeted with? new pics of rachel bilson. what a way to start off a shortened day. god bless you TBL.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Rachel Bilson might be one of the hottest females alive. On screen, that is.
January 16th, 2008 at 12:20 PM
This is different from any other day how?
January 16th, 2008 at 12:38 PM
I have no idea what trucknut means but I have stopped in Manasass off of 66 in Virginia. It is a very scary place and I think the beginning of the Mason/Dixon line.
January 16th, 2008 at 2:43 PM
“If they were outlawed, how could we profile total rednecks?”
Gun racks, KC lights, 23 inch tires, camo, mesh cabellas hats, crude bumper stickers, tailgates that came off a different truck than the one they are driving or countless other things.
