Anna Kournikova always does a good job of disappearing for awhile and then re-appearing looking fantastic, huh? … we’ve got a rather funny interview coming your way around lunch-time … everyone hates $4.00 a gallon for gas – including the pumps … Shania Twain, now single! … a Q&A with the fan Manny Ramirez high-fived on the double-play … Connect 4 rules! …

If we give them a date night, they should give us a BJ night

If Kanye doesn’t win at Connect Four will he get on stage at the next award ceremony and cry about it?

@TBL – not sure if you linked it yesterday….Whitlock is still angry, http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8142744/Don‘t-be-misled-by-Playboy-story

There are articles in Playboy? What next? Writing on blogs in place of half-naked women?

Shania has gotta be a top 10 cougar. I want to quit my job and go touring with her, and I hate country music.

Your positive economic news for the day:
Housing Starts Post Surprise 8.2% Rise to 1.03 Million in April

Are Gonzo and Cousins of Ron Mexico the same person? I need some clarification on this one…
May 16th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
even though she never won, i still prefer the tennis playing Anna Kournikova
May 16th, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Does not having Gibson make the Cavs that much worse, aren’t they already a really bad team that might resemble the Heat without Lebron?
May 16th, 2008 at 8:38 AM
@Big Nuts – I don’t really sound that dumb do I?
May 16th, 2008 at 8:40 AM
anyone missing from your regular rotation, and that can hit about two 3s a game is a big deal.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:43 AM
The Foo Fighter contract is hilarious. I can spend hours reading all the artist riders on Smoking Gun.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Shania Twain is a top-one cougar.
Milian and Shania back to back. Excellent work, TBL.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:47 AM
How do those #’s match up year over year?
And your negative housing news, courtesy of the WSJ: “Rethink remodeling: It might not help house resale value”
May 16th, 2008 at 8:48 AM
Ha ha CRM I will take that as a no. It’s just that people on here lately switch handles a lot…and you have the word gonzo in your e-mail addy.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:49 AM
is anyone aware that game 7 of the hornets/spurs series is MONDAY?!?!?!?! commence bashing.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:51 AM
i thought only the cavs for the preferential scheduling from stern and the NBA
May 16th, 2008 at 8:53 AM
So Boston-Clev will *hopefully* play two games before Spurs play Game 7?
That’s not even preferential treatment for Spurs. That’s just dumb as hell. No games on Saturday, either.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:54 AM
this is fucking basketball, not football. you can play games on back-to-back nights without that much of a problem. fuck.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
@Big Nuts – Coincidentally, Gonzo has “PBR” in his e-mail address. We’re like soul mates except for the Phillies/Marlins thing.
/that sounded Gay-A-Y
May 16th, 2008 at 8:56 AM
I’d obviously make babies with Anna K, but her legs still look kind of Eight Belles-ish…
May 16th, 2008 at 8:56 AM
and of course boobie, our best and most consistent 3 pt shooter, is going to be unavailable for the next 2 games, maybe longer if we advance
May 16th, 2008 at 8:57 AM
save that gay-a-y for the next post … coming in two mins …

Via MSNBC, “The strength in April came entirely from a huge rebound in apartment construction, which can be extremely volatile from month to month. Apartment building jumped by 40.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 326,000 units. The larger single-family sector suffered continued weakness, dropping by 1.7 percent to an annual rate of 692,000 units.”
So no, housing still sucks ass, ask my neighbors house who’s been on the market nearly two year.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:58 AM
I am totally going to bang Anna!
/Kevin
May 16th, 2008 at 8:58 AM
she could be euthanized and id still bang her.
that’s normal right?
May 16th, 2008 at 9:01 AM
As long as she’s still at least room temperature.
In an igloo.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:02 AM
I’m sorry, but I don’t see any way that’s a viable criminal charge against Lori Drew. If the parents want to sue her civilly for pain and suffering or loss of consortium or whatever, then fine. But criminal charges, for “harassing, abusing or harming other people,” over the internet? Gee, that only happens, like, millions of times a day. Lori Drew’s behavior was despicable, but being a rotten human being is not a crime.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I going to use that at my next hearing.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:03 AM
room temp optional…she could be 2 weeks in a ditch and i could probably still get it up
May 16th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
mmonast…wanna butcher ‘er up and catch it on film? that could be the big break our snuff film enterprise needs.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Beware a Damon Jones sighting this evening. Damon has been relegated to the bench for months. However, with Boobie out, look for Damon to play a big role! That isn’t exactly a positive, but he proved last year that he can play meaningful minutes after sitting on the bench for long spurts.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
I almost cried when I read the Shania link. I hope Mrs. GYD does not mind my infatuation.
“So what you’re telling me is I still have a chance?”
May 16th, 2008 at 9:26 AM
for any one who skipped breakfast this morning….

The 950 interview with Erin Andrews is 10 minutes I wish I could have back. Truly cringeworthy when I listened to it live.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:32 AM
spencer i like where your heads at…this is the big break we have been waiting for! when opportunity knock you answer the fuckin door!
May 16th, 2008 at 9:43 AM
@TBL
Remodeling has always been a rather foolhardy way to try and increase your home’s value. It almost never, ever adds more value than what you end up spending.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:48 AM
I agree with the Washington Times, OJ Mayo hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet. None of us have looked at the receipts, and even if we all saw them, it wouldn’t be enough. This is yet another case of an unfair media rush to judgement. Everyone’s reaction is: “I knew it. I knew it before you even told me.” Where there’s smoke there’s fire has replaced innocent until proven guilty.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:58 AM
TBL…I used to like you…we used to be cool but linking that image of a Kazmir Met Jersey is the most unprofessional, brutal, awful display of blogging I have ever seen. It makes me sick and you should be ashamed. HOW DARE YOU!…HOW DARE YOU!
May 16th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Robert: “Innocent until proven guilty” applies to criminal matters. The concept is that we won’t convict someone and send them to jail without proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Last I checked, Mayo is not risking jail time for accepting a perfectly legal (outside the NCAA’s twisted “morality”) gift. Speculation as to whether or not he did it is way, way outside the bounds of “innocent until proven guilty.”
May 16th, 2008 at 10:18 AM
Anna K needs a good meal.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Just to show how news can be spun … this news is actually terrible.
per Bloomberg:
Construction of U.S. single-family houses in April dropped to the lowest level in 17 years, even as building of condominiums and townhouses rebounded.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Completely disagree. By this logic, OJ Simpson is innocent?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I’m of the opinion that if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck – it’s a duck. Guillory has DONE THIS TWICE. Both times he’s been found guilty and the teams (Fresno and USC) paid the price. If you think Mayo is on the up-and-up, that’s fine.
But i’ll side with ‘cheated’ 100 times out of 100. He’s not the only one, either. He just got caught. It’s like when 50 cars are speeding and the cop pulls you out of the pack. Well, the cop got help in the OJ Mayo situation.

TBL, housing starts were down 30% year over year for April.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Have I missed the boat on country music? Majority of hot chicks in music are country. Shania, Carrie, Faith Hill, Kellie Pickler, that other Faith chick. R&B is still a distant second with Alicia and Rihanna.
