PM Roundup: Another Radio Guy Hates Blogs. Sigh.
Baseball, Media Gossip/Musings April 22nd. 2008, 3:30pm
Summer’s nearly here, so why not remind everyone of a fantastically cheesy song from back in the day? Daisy Dukes, by the 69 Boyz. Yup, we we had two 12-inch subs in the trunk, and blasted this back in high school. Losery? You bet!
Some guy named Howard Eskin in Philly rails against blogs. (Hugging Harold Reynolds)
Hey Phoenix people, is this real? (Ktar via Drudge)
Once-hot actress Gail O’Grady owes big bucks to a few casinos. (TMZ)
Deitsch is always good for a laugh: “No, I don’t think Scouts Inc.’s Todd McShay should have his own network.” (SI)
All NFL busts wind up in Toronto, which is where David Boston has surfaced. (Sports Point)
Trust and the MSM. (A Large Regular)
Isiah Thomas is sort of like George Costanza. (1 Happy St.)
The Army is so hard-up to add bodies, they are accepting convicted felons. (Washington Post)
Mort says the Dolphins have come to terms with Jake Long. (ESPN)
What Braves are Cooperstown-bound? (Atlanta Magazine)
The Dodgers have made a ton of bad trades, but Pedro for Delino DeShields is the worst. (LA Times)
Some strange characters were in the Boston Marathon. (Uncoached)
More on the Clinton-Obama debate, which seems relevant on the cusp of tonight’s primary. (New Yorker)

jake long, great pick, but that’s a lot of money to give a RT.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Sad that I know this, but the song is called “Dazzey Duks” by Duice
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Does TBL read his own blog?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:34 PM
I don’t think they would have taken him there if they thought about putting him at RT. He’ll definitely be given a shot at LT, and I think he’ll do great.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:35 PM
I hope there wasn’t mayo on those subs. Leaving them in a hot drunk will cause them to spoil.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Some strange characters were in the Boston Marathon.
I thought that only a couple of Africans and Lance Armstrong participated.
Anyway, now we’re getting rumors that the Saints want to move up to 2 to get Glenn Dorsey. I’d love to get the local guy, but I don’t like potentially moving up 8 spots to get a boom-or-bust position player with documented injury problems.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:36 PM
mike…from what I have read they are going to put him at RT..Parcells wants to run the ball and he feels he can use Long to open up holes on that side
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:36 PM
Phoenix people here. I think these UFO people are just as crazy as Cavs fans.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:37 PM
Howard Eskin isn’t just “some guy”…he’s far and away the most popular media personality in Philadelphia…as well as the most hated.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:37 PM
he’ll be given a shot, but i think he could be an all-timer at RT. his footwork is meh and his hand technique needs a ton of work if he’s going to go against the guys he’ll go against at LT. not saying he can’t learn, but when compared to joe thomas, he’s pretty far behind.
but he is one of the meanest blockers ive ever seen, an absolute crushing run blocker. he might be one of the better run blockers in the league in his first year and once he locks in, he wins.
eh, fuck it, he’ll be sweet on either side.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Who’s the babe in the pic?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Sadly, PM roundup was done at like 1 … this will be the new job of Mr. Intern!
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Jay..the Saints got there name in everything…the SHockey rumor..moving up to the 2..moving down and getting extra picks..moving up to get Sedrick Ellis…The one that doesn’t make sense to me is Shockey..That trade has the Saftey Roman Harper in it and wouldn’t they need him fo rtheir weak defense?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:40 PM
RWH, Ireland said today “It’s no secret that left tackle is a pivotal part of your building process,” so I’d assume they’d at least try him out there.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:41 PM
Damn it. I can’t believe that guy saw Seinfeld too.
Looks like its back to Andy Richter Controls The Universe references.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 PM
I am against the Shockey trade rumor if they have to give up Roman Harper. Our other safety (Josh Bullocks) is shit, Mike McKenzie has had major knee surgery, and the other CB is Jason David, Randall Gay, or Usama Young. A 2 and Harper is insane.
Roman, there are also rumors that they may trade down with Philly if they give up Lito Sheppard.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:42 PM
TBL bumping bass in the Volvo ROFL
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Roman Harper is a liabilty in coverage think Roy Williams without the rep.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:43 PM
why would you want shockey anyways?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 PM
My bad I meant Bullocks thanks Jay.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 PM
If the Saints are going to move up, they should try to swap with the Pats (to get ahead of Cinci) and take Ellis. He’ll be just as good as Dorsey.
/opinion
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 PM
@spencer- i can give you one answer, THE U
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:44 PM
I don’t understand the Shockey rumor to begin with. Payton is a “character, character, character” guy, and now he’s going after one of the biggest nutbags out there?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 PM
hey, i cant complain about the browns’ TE from DA U.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Mike..I did not see that..my bad…I only went on what others had written not form the horses (or the horses bitch’s) mouth…Jay..I don’t see the Giants doing it any other way but the Lito Sheppard deal makes a shit load of sens..he is playing for money at this point..and he is an absolute pain in the ass to play against (unless you are Plaxico Burress, He owns him) that would sure up the other side with Gayand the rest of the poo poo platter on the other side…at 19 you can get a LB or something useful
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 PM
John Smoltz better be a first ballot HOFer.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:46 PM
@spencer- you dont see our guys going to the CFL now do you
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:47 PM
I’m going to take a stab at the pic, Ashley Tisdale? If so, she looks much better with glasses, kind of like Spitzer’s girl.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Phoenix resident checking in, I have not seen these lights. Just remember Meth is a hell of a drug and there are a lot of Meth users in the Valley.

Starts out slowly, then she explodes, then the kid comes in with funny commentary and then … just watch
/another reason not to ignore poorly-titled emails
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 PM
Although a friend of mine who is a Pats fan pointed to me that they could want Ellis for themselves.
Roman, what Lito Sheppard deal? To the Saints?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 PM
nah, thats Hilary Duff
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 PM
I think some team traded a 1st rounder for Doug Jolley a few years back. That is why shockey trade makes no sense.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:49 PM
jay…for a moment..I want to sell you on Shockey..is he nuts..yes..but everyone on the Giants loves him…when Wellington Mara died he was at his bedside and while he is not happy with his position in the Giant offense has gone out and made himself a great blocker..he was terrible when we drafted him…he loves Sean Payton who was his first coordinator..is he a loud douche sure..but he plays hard and I think New Orleans would love him
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Irish – Think this, but in midnight blue. Cool, i tell ya
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Mike…its a rumor right now that the Eagles would trade their pick and sheppard to get to the 10th spot which is the Saints
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 PM
@TBl- LOL, my mom had a two door version of that car. classic TBL, with the moonroof
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:53 PM
ATL…Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine are definite…Larry Jones Jr is on his way..to me he is borderline right now but the way he is playing he will be in…the rest of that list are guys too early to tell and Mark Lemke..I mean why not have Frenchy on there as well
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:53 PM
My dad drove that same car TBL, I think his was a ‘79, pumpkin orange.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Roman, I said the trade in its current form doesn’t make sense. A 2 or Roman Harper, sure I’d consider taking Shockey. And Payton hates dysfunction. This is the same guy who dumped Aaron Brooks, Donte’ Stallworth, and a bunch of other loonies for a bag of chips. I just don’t get it.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 PM
Anyone here drive a Nissan Altima? Getting a new one on Saturday.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 PM
@RWH – That shows you don’t know baseball. The Lemmer will be voted in next time, and by a landslide. And there’s a groundswell of support for Otis Nixon as well–look for him in the class of 2010.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:55 PM
@Cbh- wifey has a 06 model. white 2.5 special edition. great cars
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
What? No ground effects on the Volvo?
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
cbh…yea, i test drove one last summer before i bought my new ride. they’re pretty nice even tho i ended up settling on something else.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:57 PM
i shared it – 1986
4 dr
really, it was a sweet car
Then some woman totaled by crashing into me … remains to date the loudest bang i’ve ever heard in my life (much louder than shooting a gun at a gun range)
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:57 PM
An Olsen twin.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
An Olsen twin.
your kidding, that girl has curves and actual legs.
/ No idea who she is
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
@TBL- the bad thing with that car, the f ing fan belt. In the winter, my friends would here me coming from a mile away because the fan belt was always screaming.
Sucks about the crash
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
speaking of loud banging…one of my friends is living with his GF and the super came and told them about other people’s complaints over their…um…well, loud banging.
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Jay… a 2 or Roman works for you I don’t know about the Giants…my point is this..he is really not disruptive..that NY media you love so much really makes more out of it than it really is…his teammates LOVE him..really..I read two books about the 2006 season when they tanked and to a man the team talked about Shockey with reverence and humor…Eli has stated twice in the last month he wants him back…the organization loves him except maybe Tom Coughlin to the point the owners family asked him to be at Wellington Mara’s deathbed…he fails his arms and says stuff..but that is the worst of it..he is the type of guy you hate to play against but love on your team.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
TBL, did that car have the rear facing seat in the way back? My friends mom had one with the rear facing seat and it was fucking sweet. although, she got rear ended by a dump truck. luckily, we weren’t in there that time.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
NVM, i thought it was the hatchback model you were pushing.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
If Lemke gets in Glenn Hubbard certainly has a case too…
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
It would be interesting to see Drew Brees paired up with a real tight end again. Maybe he could open Reggie Bush up for something else besides an occasional 3-yard swing pass.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 PM
@benji- i remember those. It was great sitting back there and flipping people off
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 PM
atlanta, you’ve got to be joking right? Lemke and Otis Nixon in the HOF? Yet Jim Rice and Blylevon can’t get in?
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:01 PM

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
@ cbh49er
I drive a Dodge Stratus! Now show me some g**damn respect!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
TBL, that’s a hot whip. Doesn’t compare to my 1988 Nissan Sentra I had back in the day with some 6 x 9’s though.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
lol on the seat facing the back … this was just a standard sedan
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Hey, at least Reggie can dance behind the line like no other!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:03 PM
@St. Bear – of course I’m kidding. C’mon!! Although I chose those two because they were at a local strip club (with John Rocker, no kidding) when I went there for a bachelor party about a year ago. It was hilarious.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I thought it was duff
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:03 PM
you mean your lame dodge stratus?

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Ark – I can top that Sentra – I had a major POS Subaru after the Volvo was totaled. That lasted on a short time, though; the car was awful. Highlight: When driving to school one day, my buddy in shotgun pulled out a supersoaker and sprayed the woman at the McDonald’s drive-thru window.
They were pissed. The rest of my time in that POS was a fog.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Eskin is the bain of my existence, he is classless, clueless, and a puppet for the Eagles.

nothing beats the K car
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:10 PM
You don’t talk about my car that way!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I had a 1985 Toyota Celica..it was red with a moonroof that leaked and water seeped in from under the backseat and through the hatchback trunk..it had an electronic radio antenna that went up and down but the motor stopped and I tried to pull it out and broke it…the tape deck broke the first day..the only radio stations I could get were AM..the Lite station or La Mega 97.9..I spent a summer listening to Marc Anthony’s first album (in spanish)… Si Te Vas indeed…I got that car at 108000..and killed it at 240000..I loved that piece of shit.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:11 PM
I once attempted to supersoak a woman at McDonald’s, but got arrested for sexual assault. Different strokes for different folks.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:12 PM
whatever guys, I had a blue standard transmission Dodge Colt (2 door) with NO RADIO and NO A/C.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:13 PM
I was rocking an 89 Volvo 240 DL just a year and a half ago. The perfect car to bum around Hawaii in and strap the surfboards to. Plus when I left I sold it to my ex girlfriend, and she told me a few months ago that it totally died on her and wasn’t salvageable. Oops!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 PM
sportsgal, I had a buddy who was the first person in HS to get his license and he had a 83 dodge colt hatchback. We would put 8 people in it and drive around town drinking 40’s of Colt 45. Ahh those were the times.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Jake Long is just another slow, plodding, Big Ten player. They should draft any player from the SEC before him.

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:17 PM
My first car was a 1976 Buick Century. It looked just like the car in “Clerks” only sans the ragtop. To this day I still love bench seats in the front. I drove that car from the passenger side quite often.

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:22 PM
i had a 90′ Mazda MX-6 for about 1 year when i was 16. Nothing too cool about it except the front brakes went out on the way to a Bucks game one time.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Hit the Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills and check out the pristine Plymouth Reliant K car behind the velvet ropes. Funny shit. The car that saved Chrysler.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Thanks Irish and Spencer.
Mad respect to you broseph.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:26 PM
benji, that was just a warning that said you shouldn’t go to a bucks game. Unless of course it was during the jack Sikma era, then more power to you.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:27 PM
@chelsea- im acutally good friends with him. My brother in law was his athletic trainer in high school. good down to earth kid
@nomo- my best friend had the K car growing up. We fit like ten people in that car one night

I forgot to mention the Dodge Colt I drove was an 89. AND IT HAD NO RADIO. I win the most pathetic car award, hands down.

Ark, it was probably in 2001 so they were actually pretty good that year.
Irish, what is the K Car?
Fucking Eric Gagne with another blown save!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Benji- the K car, like nomo said, saved Chrylser. Very popular car in the 80’s

The Dodge Aries, another classic blast from the past.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Irish, my brother had one of our grandmother’s hand me down Reliant K cars. She threw in the nicotine stained intererior at no extra charge. When that went to shit, he ended up with our other grandma’s Dodge Omni. K to K, baby. As the oldest, I was spoiled with Taurus SHOs. Suck it, little brother.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Breaking News: Grant Hill is a gametime decision for tonight’s Game 2 against the Spurs. Wonder how many times that sentence has been written over the past 13 years (different opponents of course).

April 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 PM
My first car was a 77 Datsun B210. No ac and only an Am radio. By the time it finally died I had to continually drive around with a gallon of water because it kept overheating. The engine block finally cracked. Man, I loved that car..
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:41 PM
The idea that Shockey isn’t a character guy is so 2001. The dude is a stand-up guy who stays out of trouble. Period.
