Jessica Biel has gone blonde, but we prefer her as a brunette … the Writer’s strike has officially ended … will doughy Val Kilmer make a good Michael Knight KITT? … there was some debate yesterday about Philly fans booing Santa? Well, here’s the story … cross Imad Mughniyeh, the most wanted man by the FBI, off the list – a car bomb did him in … Boston is panicking because this photo makes Josh Beckett looks fat, which means he can’t pitch and the Red Sox will only win 78 games and miss the playoffs … have you seen dickipedia? … more efforts to save Friday Night Lights … literally buried in the bathtub …

Dickipedia? Have you seen chickipedia.com?
February 13th, 2008 at 8:16 AM
That chick is hot, but I heard she is a sincere bitch from a friend who came across her at Sundance. It went something like this
Friend: You’re Jessica Biel.
Beil: Duh! (seriously not jokingly)
In other news: 90DayJane seems to be shut down…
February 13th, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Val Kilmer may be doughy, but he is a good actor…have you seen Salton Sea or Wonderland?
February 13th, 2008 at 8:17 AM
When is a blogger not angry at Gregg Doyel?
February 13th, 2008 at 8:19 AM
When I first saw that picture of Beckett, I thought it was DiceK.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:21 AM
Get me the online copy editor at the Herald. I want to punch him (or her) in the face.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:23 AM
So who is watching Knight Rider? I’ve been on the fence about it for a while, but I think I’ll give it a shot.
Magglio, my brother was at Sundance and met a ton of famous and semi-famous folks, but said nobody came close to being half as cool as Slash.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:24 AM
Dickipedia was great
February 13th, 2008 at 8:25 AM
This should not surprise anyone.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:31 AM
I will treat Knight Rider like I treat American Gladiators. I will watch it, and I will mock it while watching it. That should cause my wife to yell at me once again.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
I don’t think I’ll watch Knight Rider. My interest in Gladiators has been slipping the last couple of weeks…if it weren’t for that cute-as-hell Monica contestant, I might’ve stopped watching it all together.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Think Ashley Judd was angry about Kentucky? Why the frick are the only SEC basketball team that is “worthy” of being nationally televised. More than half the SEC national broadcasts on ESPN and elsewhere are Kentucky vs. Other. Florida wins back to back. Tennessee is in the top 5. But all we get is Kentucky. And don’t cite every time they weren’t on TV. Over 50 percent of the SEC national TV broadcasts are Kentucky. And nobody thought they were going to be that good anyway. It’s very frustrating being an SEC fan in another part of the country. We only get like one game a week, and it’s always them.

Butler was on ESPNU last night, the tenth ranked team in the country, on a channel that beams into about 57 homes.
I wish the Miami Heat were on more. Maybe when they get that 10th win, the whole world will be watching.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:42 AM
@jgp
Try having something called the “SEC network” that broadcasts 90% of the games and you can’t even get it in some parts of your state. And you live in a state with two SEC teams… I know this argument seems stale after a nationally televised stinkbomb from MSU last night, but the BIG TEN network is a bitch.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:43 AM
TBL, the article states that Kilmer is in as the voice of KITT, not as Michael.
That said, I’ll watch it, at least for the first couple of episodes. After that time, the crappiness will probably outweigh the nostalgia.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:43 AM
Atlantasportsfan – agree 110%. That MILF Monica is cute as hell. Between her and Crush there’s plenty of good reason to watch.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:44 AM
How soon before Berman and Shrutebag are on dickipedia?
February 13th, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Oh damn, you’re right! Voice of KITT. Reading comp skills.
Knight Rider was one of the greatest shows of the 80s, along with the Incredible Hulk, Dukes of Hazard, ALF, and Growing Pains. Who’s the Boss and Head of the Class probably belong in there, too, right?
Good find on 90 Day Jane.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:48 AM
Perfect Strangers & Night Court
February 13th, 2008 at 8:49 AM
Nice to see that Gary Coleman was able to put that incident with Gordon Jump in the dark recesses of the bicycle shop behind him.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:50 AM
TBL, what about Airwolf?
February 13th, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Re: 90DayJane
Hopefully she slipped, fell and cracked her head open on her PC.
/assuming it’s not some viral marketing ploy which is a huge leap of faith
February 13th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
I liked Growing Pains better when it was called Family Ties By the way, Steven Keaton was the real gem of that show.
Alf sucked
February 13th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
@Nick – you’re dead on. Night Court – hilarious. Perfect Strangers? Also quite the funny.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:54 AM
@Jimmy Chitwood – Keep Alf’s name the f*** out your mouth
@Nick and WhoDey – Don’t be rid-ic-u-lous
February 13th, 2008 at 8:54 AM
jessica biel is drop dead gorgeous but she looks better as a brunette. She has an ass you could set your drink on
February 13th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
Is this going to degenerate into a thread where everyone starts shouting out their favorite 80s shows?
/hoping against hope.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:58 AM
Night Court in about season 5 was about as funny and as corny as you ever got on TV. That was about the time they stopped hiring 89-year-old bailiffs who would die on them, they made Bull really, really, really stupid, and I realized Markie Post was hot as Hell. But it went from very funny to very stupid in about two years.
Yes, I’m old. But not that old. I was a young teenager at the time.

Going to apologize in advance for this, because it will be the most hypnotic website you visit today. Seems mostly safe, but it’s dangerously close. You’ve been warned.
Babes of College.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:01 AM
Safe? Are there any openings at your office?
February 13th, 2008 at 9:06 AM
CRM, it’s safe at TBL Headquarters, but not in the “real” world.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
greg doyel is a fucking hack.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:09 AM
TBL–no love for Uno the Beagle? He represented last night in taking Best in Show. Woof, woof, baby!
February 13th, 2008 at 9:10 AM
That babes of college website is so wonderfully organized. I can decide if I’m in the mood for tan, athletic, six-pack girls, or skinny dipping girls, or body shots girls. See you guys next month.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:15 AM
it’s a buffet of greatness
February 13th, 2008 at 9:15 AM
I love me some Doyel. That blog bashing him is drinking some serious kool-aid.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
http://www.hottestgirlsofmyspace.net tops that site TBL
February 13th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
NSFW though
February 13th, 2008 at 9:24 AM
Jesus, is it “get coop fired for looking at virtually nekkid chicks” day or something. Yesterday was quite sexy here at TBL, today is quickly veering into slutty.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:25 AM
Tomorrow, is a special “Porn Thursday.”
February 13th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Just wait until Friday when the advertisements get in on the act:
“Congratulations! You’ve just won FUCK YOU, BOSS. I QUIT!!”
February 13th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
I hate when there are hot chick links posted this early in the morning. That means I have to wait all day to check them out.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Props to Ashley Judd last night. Never mind my immense joy in watching Big Blue get humiliated in Nashville… The fact that she stuck it out from stem to stern while her team was playing out the string on the floor is the sign of a real fan. She’s not in it for the pub, she’s the real deal. And, damn, as a Big Blue fan, that must suck this year.
February 13th, 2008 at 10:05 AM
+1 Sean Jean. I may have to go home for lunch today.
