PM Roundup: Laettner Fears Kentucky (The State)
2008 Culture Tournament, Baseball, College Basketball, ESPN April 7th. 2008, 3:58pm
Midway through the first half of the 2008 Culture Bracket Championship and Erin Andrews is cruising. Romo, if you’re reading, can’t you call in reinforcements? Oh, and this lady in orange is Kristin Cavallari, and to the new folks stopping by for the first time, we gave up on Laguna Beach after the first season (when she was on it), and wouldn’t watch The Hills if you put a gun to our head.
Should have made it a full post: Laettner would rather pee in a plastic bottle than get out of the car while driving though Kentucky. (Wildcat Nation)
ESPN’s own take jabs at Emmitt Smith; ESPN copy editors try to scrub away the evidence, but it’s too late. (PFT via Awful Announcing)
Old friend Bobby Gonzalez may have already worn out his welcome at Seton Hall. (NJ.com)
Cristiano Ronaldo may be working a Spanish model. (Kickette)
The Penguins didn’t want to face the Flyers in the playoffs, so they tanked and lost, and now play the struggling Senators. Pretty blatant. (Philly Inquirer)
Yes, this might be the worst own goal, ever. (Soccer by Ives)
Pro Wrestler – someone called, ‘The Test’ – nabbed for DUI. (This Just In)
One of the kids from Mighty Ducks is shilling for ESPN; the real note here is that there’s no way that trilogy of movies is one of the top four of all-time. We’ve been down this road before. (Slanch Report)
No hot dogs for dinner? Then you deserve to be stabbed! (Local 6)
Finally, we have a Presidential candidate calling for somebody to boycott the Olympics opening ceremony. (Ben Smith)
Sounds like a wicked fun party at Michigan State – except for the 52 people who got arrested. (Detroit News)

Hate to break it to you TBL but Test used to bang Stacy Kiebler.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Emmitt got debacled.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:07 PM
TBL, just Test, not “The Test”, if you ever link any stories about Edge, he is Edge, not “The Edge”
April 7th, 2008 at 4:07 PM
What’s the difference between Laguna Beach and The Hills and why is one watchable and one suicide-worthy? Aren’t they both asinine reality TV shows which feature spolied hot chicks?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Easy on The Mighty Ducks trilogy, TBL.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Anyone that has ever, is currently, or ever will be banging Stacy Kiebler is alright in my book.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:09 PM
The Edge
April 7th, 2008 at 4:10 PM
i like that picture.
mighty ducks is the shit. the second one is better than Godfather pt. 2 and Empire Strikes Back combined.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Lawrence had 20,000 people on Mass St. Saturday after the game and their were only two arrests. Granted, 18,332 of those fans were high so there wasn’t a lot of trouble they could purposefully get into. Do they drink something different in the Big 10? Columbus, East Lansing, Madison all celebrate big victories in an odd way.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:11 PM
LC > than this tramp

April 7th, 2008 at 4:12 PM
BOOOOOOOO. TBL, can you stick to real celebrities?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:14 PM
i watched Heavyweights this weekend, and it stars Goldberg and the kid from the streets who shot the Knucklepuck. I figured they were both living phat from the Mighty Ducks money.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:15 PM
TBL, your previous trilogy list was rushed and poorly thought out. Another example of your horrible, horrible taste in movies. Not only was the Back to the Future trilogy better than the Spider-man trilogy (by a lot!) it was better than Bourne too. You sir, are on movie probation.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Don’t think I saw mention of this today. Funny stuff.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Hef, BTTF was better than Spiderman, but the Bourne movies were unstoppable.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:19 PM
The bourne movies were good, but c’mon BTTF was iconic.
Marty, you’re not thinking 4th dimensionally.
I’ve been having that problem a lot lately.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Don’t know if Sparty is around, but sometimes his people make it too easy. It’s like they WANT to be made fun of.
I think they got debacled.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Bourne > BTTF > Spiderman.
This is not open for debate. This is the way it is.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:26 PM
the second back to the future was so bad that it can’t be considered a great trilogy. no matter how good the first was.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Apparently it is up for debate because I’m doing so right now.
Aw geez, Doc, this is getting heavy.
There’s that word again; “heavy”. Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth’s gravitational pull?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
I am legend is a great movie if anyone hasnt seen it yet
April 7th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
The Mist however is not, although the ending was at least different and kind of cool.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Dan, my man, sorry, but you’re out of your element here. Let the grownups fight about this like children.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
man, been that long since we rioted. go figure.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Does anyone else on this site think Stacey Dales is hot? i cant get enough of her during the Liqour License brackets talk
April 7th, 2008 at 4:30 PM
that picture of kristin cavallari sure brightens up a webpage.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:30 PM
greatest trilogy ever has to be karate kid 1/2/3…. i refuse to recognize the hilary swank debacle…
April 7th, 2008 at 4:31 PM
@CBH- really bad huh, the previews looked great for it. did you ever see Dreamcatcher? classic flick
April 7th, 2008 at 4:31 PM
@Hef: Just because you’re talking doesn’t mean it’s a debate. It just means you’re wrong and talking out of your ass.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:31 PM
cute bordering on hot. beats the hell out of suzy kolber and our favorite vodka swiller, dana jacobson.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:32 PM
i partied Saturday with an identical replica of George McFly. He is an engineer with my buddy. He was a huge dork, but a nice enough guy. Then he made some guacamole that sucked, and he lost all my respect.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:32 PM
@jimmy – agreed. I would let Dales touch me.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Irish, not bad, just kind of there, very slow, and didn’t really suck me into the story. Could just be bad timing on my part, my mind hasn’t been right for about a week. Never seen Dreamcatcher, is that another Stephen King movie?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Loved the Michigan State/Cedar Village party story! They even mentioned the “riot” I participated in when I was a college student! Mostly it was just a lot of boozing, boob flashing and running from cops. Ah, the memories…
April 7th, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Oh and Test is banging this now.

Kelly Kelly, no Stacy Keibler but nothing to sneeze at either.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:35 PM
stacy dales is fuckable. She’s got nothing on the 2008 Culture Tournament Champion though.
I used to think Kristin Cavalleiri was hot, but not anymore. There’s something i don’t like about her. Did anyone ever see when she went on a date with the guy from Three 6 Mafia on MTV? It was absolutely hysterical.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:36 PM
@cbh- yes it is my friend. If you are into Stephen King, thats a must see imo. My mind is never right CBH, welcome to my world
April 7th, 2008 at 4:37 PM
* The Bourne Trilogy is beast
* Actually saw the Mist and was completely disturbed by the ending
* Been watching Classic all day and right now they are showing SU and G Mac beating KU; earlier was the great UConn-DUke game from 99
April 7th, 2008 at 4:38 PM
@benji- Stacey Dales is moving on up. I have been missing out on her big time. I hoping Wingo nails that every night
April 7th, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Michigan State sells themself as the only place you can go and burn your own couch. Yes, very proud. The article leaves out the best, and most ironic riot of all. Back in 98, drinking was banned outside Spartan Stadium in Munn Field.
May 1, 1998: An estimated 3000 students protesting the ban on alcohol at Munn Field tailgate parties resulted in police firing tear gas at the crowd.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:39 PM
now the server is fine as we east coasters are leaving work
April 7th, 2008 at 4:40 PM
TBL my link is clean I promise! Just want to show the crew what Test is banging now.
And just to clarify, when I said the ending to Mist was cool, not what actually happened, just that it wasn’t your typical Hollywood conclusion.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Sad stuff out of a Baton Rouge strip club:
April 7th, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Not only is the Mighty Ducks in the top 4 trilogies ever, I have a hard time putting it under #1. Does Star Wars count as a trilogy per se seeing as it’s 6 movies?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:46 PM
@TBL – Was Pacman there?
April 7th, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Ducks fly together!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:47 PM
yes, i’m sure she was a “great girl.”
April 7th, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Ohh, good question fetch!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Sparty, as a Central Michigan grad, I totally remember when they banned tailgating at Munn Field! That was an epic riot…
April 7th, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Given the time lapse between the two, I’ll give Star Wars two separate triologies, though the first trilogy (with respect to time, not story order), is order of magnitudes better and I haven’t even seen all three of the new trilogy.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:50 PM
i just read that article, and he’s right, 3 Ninja’s does deserve an honarable mention.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Jake Peavy, innocent, dammit!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:55 PM
As you can see from my gravatar I am slight biased towards 4,5 and 6(although I thought Jedi sucked)
April 7th, 2008 at 4:55 PM
I wonder if Phil Sheridan was one of the Filthydelphia media members who voted Sidney Crosby 3rd star in December 11th’s 8-2 Flyers bloodbath? R.J. Umberger scored his first NHL hat trick and added 2 assists, but the media slugs gave the star to Crosby instead, just so the Flyers fans could boo his name one more time.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:56 PM
sportsgal, i was on the other side of campus when it went down. i knew a few guys who got busted. idiots.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:56 PM
She’s a great girl, that’s why she is working at a strip club.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Thank god he’s innocent. We wouldn’t want there to be controversy in the majors over foreign substances giving athletes an edge over the competition.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:57 PM
Ben just watch the third movie, Revenge of the Sith. It is the best of the three and the last 20 minutes or so is pretty cool(at least for us geeks). I will head on back to Alderaan now..
April 7th, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Ben…agreed.
star wars vs. godfather trilogies…very similar. 1st ones were fantastic, 2nd ones were even better, 3rd ones were some of the worst dretch ever thrown on screen. i dont know what pisses me off more, a bunch of e-woks’ dancing around for 30 fucking minutes (i realize that Star Wars were all kids’ movies) or al pacino with gray hair just going through the motions.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:02 PM
It is no coincidence that the headquarters of the Michigan State Police happens to be right next to the campus.
The craziest thing that ever happened when I was at Michigan was someone turning over a few trashcans. And those were Iowa fans. Even when we “rushed the field” after beating Ohio State in 2003, it was orderly with people helping each other down.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:02 PM
That’s what makes the Bourne trilogy great; there is no weak one. They all kick ass and take names.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:04 PM
see, the bourne trilogy is like B+, B+, B+. they’re cool, but not memorable or outstanding, like the eagles who went to 3 straight NFC champ games but never won.
the star wars and godfather trilogies are like the tail end of the bulls dynasties with jordan. they got good, then they got really fuckin good, then it all went away. but when they were on, it was the best shit goin. i give kudos for a higher peak rather than consistency.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Naked Gun and American Pie trilogy getting no love from you people?
F it, my vote is for the Poison Ivy trilogy.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:10 PM
tyduffy, check out what happened when Michigan basketball actually mattered.
April 1992: Four people are arrested as Ann Arbor police use tear gas to break up an unruly crowd of about 4,000 after Michigan loses NCAA basketball championship to Duke, 71-51. Maybe if something happened at the school you would have seen more.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Back to the Future went A+, B-, A-. In your face Jason Bourne you pussy.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Hot Shots is one movie short of the best comedy triology ever.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Had the Wayan brothers made Scary Movie 3. That trilogy would have been right up there
April 7th, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Goonies is two movies short of best trilogy ever.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:14 PM
KC Resident: so is Major League. I care to think the 3rd one never really happened.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:14 PM
I’ll hear no disparaging remarks against the Bourne trilogy and will draw pistols against anyone who speaks them. I’d rather have three great movies than one great one, one all-timer, and one shit house.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Pistols it is. At noon.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:17 PM
I’d rather have one great movie and then done. Screw the Wachowski brothers.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Ben does his killing before breakfast, Hef.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:19 PM
I do my killing after breakfast, but before lunch. That way I work up an appetite.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:19 PM
@Nick: Well played sir. I have to do my killing then, I’m way out here in Mountain time.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:25 PM
I know it’s not cool for Sports people to like these flicks, but The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was freaking Epic. Those were really quality movies. My top-5:
1) Original Star Wars
2) LotR

1) Original Star Wars
2) LotR
3) Indy Jones
4) Bourne
5) Pirates (even though I was disappointed in the ending to the third one)
April 7th, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Oh and sorry for the double (now triple) post
April 7th, 2008 at 5:37 PM
What, no love for Harry Potter?
The reason why no “riots” happen at Michigan is because it’s the most boring campus on the planet. Oh, and about half the students are douche bags.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:41 PM
@jibbles: Damn, I had forgotten about Indiana Jones. I watched about one and a half of the LotR stuff and never got into it. I have never seen any of the Pirates movies either.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:42 PM
Ben, you don’t need to watch the Pirate movies, I was forced to watch all three because of ex girlfriend and I wanted to rip my eyes out each time.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:42 PM
If they had made a third caddyshack that was even worse than the second, where would it rank based on the brilliance of the first, and the crappability of the second?
April 7th, 2008 at 5:58 PM
I went into the first Pirates movie thinking it was going to be your typical summer blockbuster, but was surprised at the originality behind it. The second one was okay and the third one was really well done in my opinion. Well acted, and clever story lines. I just think they tried a little too hard on the third one to be artsy and not entertaining.
And I understand the LotR not getting into it, they are tremendously long movies. But they have been on TNT this weekend and I came across the Two Towers, I couldn’t turn it off. And Indy is classic stuff, even with Temple of Doom’s cheesiness.
