The Roundup: That Was Fast – Phoenix Suns Coach Mike D’Antoni Won’t Return Next Season
Baseball, Drugs, ESPN, NBA, NFL, Soccer, Television April 30th. 2008, 8:01am
Anna Farris has made a bunch of mediocre movies, but she was pretty good on Entourage … for the blithering idiots category … funny story out of New Hampshire … this Obama-Pastor development in the last 48 hours has been unreal, no? … a 7-year-old who really thinks he’s gangster … it’s headlines like these that, when we check email after midnight, that make this blog a joy …

Did Anna Faris get fake boobs?
April 30th, 2008 at 8:17 AM
Excellent choice for the roundup pic.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:20 AM
Oh, and Sportsgal, I had to leave yesterday for Little League. Are we talking boy bands back to New Kids, or just N’Sync, Backstreet and 98 Degrees(you guys can feel free to vomit now)
April 30th, 2008 at 8:26 AM
I don’t mean to linkwhore, but regarding that ESPN Insider bit, McShay is ALREADY wrong and contradicting himself.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:33 AM
Phoenix sure didnt waste any time with that. I had a feeling that Dantoni would get fired. SI had a great article yesterday about the impact Shaq had on the team.
Also, nice rack for the roundup pic
April 30th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
Anna Faris is actually pretty funny in that ‘Just Friends’ movie, where she’s plays a Britney-type popstar. Ryan Reynolds is in it as well and is usually pretty funny himself. The NHL playoffs have turned into a snooze-fest!

We got Shavodrick Beaver yesterday and nothing can spoil my mood.
Every man knows Shavodrick Beaver > T.P.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
They’re real, and they’re spectacular!
April 30th, 2008 at 8:35 AM
Anna Faris: Meh.
I still think the D’Antoni thing is a mistake, as was the Shaq move. Phoenix played horrible down the stretch of that game, and Shaq was a liability on offense with the hack a Shaq.
Also, still hating DeShawn Stevenson.

does anyone on this board have a grandmother with rims on her truck?
April 30th, 2008 at 8:44 AM
i couldn’t stand Anna Faris on Entourage. Or pretty much anything for that matter.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:47 AM
On ESPN2 last night, they had a show on about the Brandon High School Wrestling team. Brandon is down here in Fl and have one of the best wrestling teams in the nation. They had the longest win streak going for consecutive matches won. 34 years it lasted and 459 wins.

@benji – It’s an El Camino, but yes.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
shavodrick beaver is an awesome name…ill laugh everytime OSU sacks him.
i hate deshawn, but the vick jersey is kinda funny.

@irish
The wifey and I are about 2 steps away from buying a house in Ponte Vedra from the real estate website you gave me a little while back. We’re moving down in about 1 1/2 weeks. Thanks for the contact.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
TBL, no love for the story about Karl Malone banging a 13 year old?
April 30th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
this is bigger than you think in “urban” communities
April 30th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
@mizerle06:
Good luck not getting screwed by asinine buyers’ laws. If you’re moving down, plan to stay.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:57 AM
D’Antoni should be reunited with Brian Colangelo.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:57 AM
Irish being nice…you’re going to ruin his hard earned rep mizer.
April 30th, 2008 at 8:58 AM
@rockabye
I appreciate the warning. We’re reading and trying to understand everything before we sign since it’s our first house. There are definitely some shitty contingencies and expenses associated with buying.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:00 AM
Welcome to Florida Mizer…
April 30th, 2008 at 9:02 AM
Thanks, guinnessgirl. Quite a change from upper-east Tennessee.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:05 AM
I think we linked up to the Karl Malone story yesterday?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
You are going to the dark size mizerle
April 30th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
oh, i must’ve missed it.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:09 AM
Don’t worry sean jean, I’ll be in gaytor country, but wearing my most obnoxious orange sweatshirt at every opportunity.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Please do so Mizer!!
April 30th, 2008 at 9:13 AM
Dark Size?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
@guinnessgirl
Are you supportive or egging me on to get my ass beat!?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:15 AM
Karl Malone is a dick.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:33 AM
Bad News for the economic gloom and doomers….GDP came in higher than expected. The economy expanded at 0.6% in Q1. For those scoring at home, that is zero quarters of GDP contraction and we need two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction to have a recession.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:37 AM
I don’t want your ass beat, I just hate the Gaytors. Gainesville is an hour and a half away, and we have a school right here in town but there are still Gaytor fans everywhere(plus they are sucky drivers)
April 30th, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Recession? I though we were in a depression.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Are you in JAX, guinnessgirl? If so, what’s morning/evening rush hour like?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:42 AM
mizerle…i dont live in JAX, but a lot of people i work with are in the JAX office. they say traffic can be fuckin terrible, but ive never experienced first hand.

Quick impression of PurdueMatt:
[Clears throat-takes a sip of water]
My straw man argument whereby I think you want the country to come crashing down and have clearly shown that it is merely stagnating proves that I am self-important and in dire need of being lauded for my pro-establishment views in spite of that fact that I’m ridiculously unlikable and (slightly off topic) obviously a closeted homosexual.
And….scene. Not my best work but I stand by it.

(golf clap)
April 30th, 2008 at 9:52 AM
I don’t know what a dark size is, but the idea translated somehow. The z is sort of close to do on the keyboard. Hef is a zick.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:57 AM
@Sean Jean: Meaning was conveyed despite the shoddy execution. Although nice turn-around jumper with the “zick” joke. Outstanding.
@Mags: Thank you. That zude’s a zick.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Son of a bitch. I typed do instead of d. I am worthless today. Cursed fingers have a mind of their own.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:05 AM
Idle/Blog-Commenting Hands are the devil’s play things.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:07 AM
I find Anna Faris unbelievably annoying. Her voice makes me want to kill puppies. Of the ones I’ve seen, the only movie she wasn’t completely terrible in was “Waiting…”
April 30th, 2008 at 10:12 AM
She didn’t have to carry “Waiting” that’s why it wasn’t horrible.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
@guiness – sorry for the late response, I’m on central time. Anyway, re: boy band-off –> New Kids HAS to be included.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Hef,
There is always next quarter.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:24 AM
Having been to India a few times, I can tell you that intersection video isn’t even as scary as some stuff you see out in the country, where the roads are basically big enough for 1.5 cars across, and you see a bus and a motor rickshaw play chicken.
As a recovering Hulkamaniac, the Hulk-Brooke pics are weird, but let’s keep things in perspective. This is a guy who spent his professional life getting oiled up for shows by other dudes and vice-versa. If you don’t believe the Hulkster’s hands have explored “places unknown” with a few hundred other wrestlers, you’re sorely mistaken.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:25 AM
@ PurdueMatt
Wouldn’t that have to be the next two quarters?
April 30th, 2008 at 10:25 AM
And that makes it all okay? Awesome.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Waiting: Less plot than a porno, but oh so much funniester.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
D’Antoni got screwed in Denver and now he is going to get screwed in Phoenix. Unreal. One of the better coaches in the NBA and he cannot catch a break. That Shaq thing was ridiculous. The pairing of SA and Phoenix in the first round is ridiculous.
And Ryan Reynolds is NOT funny. He is a complete hack. And don’t google him either, the images are not hetero man friendly, eek.
April 30th, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Hope granny whips that kid’s ass!
Look at all the Anna Farris hate…can’t hate someone with puppies like that.
