The Roundup: Sex Sells, But Should We Care?
Baseball, Media Gossip/Musings, NFL, Tennis, Women's Sports May 19th. 2008, 8:00am
If it were socially acceptable, we’d run a photo of Penelope Cruz everyday; she had us at Vanilla Sky … Tom Brady in a Giants hat with his cute sister after the jump … Will the Dallas Morning News chime in on the Romo-Simpson weekend news? … if we were in London – but with the dollar so weak, it’ll be at least 2009 until we get there – we’ d check this out because we’re huge Bond fans … aren’t these big-time bloggers stories fascinating? … Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong? Really? … there’s a weak crop of AL shortstops … some over/under NFL thoughts …
Just in case you missed it Friday: We interviewed actor Jerry O’Connell. And because we think last week was one of our neatest in the blog’s 2+ year existence - Dan LeBatard did a guest post for us last week.

Federer losing to Nadal on clay is nothing new.
That is also one fantastic picture of Ms. Cruz.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:10 AM
If it were socially acceptable, I’d ensconce myself in Penelope Cruz.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:25 AM
TBL, didn’t you see that ESPN Fantasy commercial? That dude’s dying words were “don’t…trade…Prince…Fielder…”
May 19th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
The Tigers are more overhyped than the Yankees.
I hate my life…
May 19th, 2008 at 8:35 AM
Damn. Brady’s sister isn’t that bad looking.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:36 AM
When I read “Giants hat” I assumed New York and was ready for another hat scandal.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:38 AM
Classic Daily News article there.
Yanks were a mess until the end of June last year.
They never learn.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:39 AM
he is wearing another teams hat!!! he has no loyalty to his own team we should boo him
/idiot cavs fans

Filip Bondy should be arrested for his creepy picture in the Daily News.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:43 AM
TBL, if not daily, then a weekly Ms. Cruz photo would do. I’m trying to not be greedy.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:45 AM
Brady grew up in the San Fransico area. So in fact, he should be commended for sticking by his team.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Sean Jean, I thought the same and feel dumb now, TBL probably left it that vague in order to rile us up
May 19th, 2008 at 8:51 AM
Pretty good find on the article about female athletes. I thought it was going to be the typical dribble, but they did a good job mentioning that male athletes are looked at the same way.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:00 AM
Ahhhhhhh, gotcha
May 19th, 2008 at 9:00 AM

fuckin’ cavs.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:01 AM

May 19th, 2008 at 9:06 AM
@spencer: I can’t comment on the blog (damn work), but I’ve heard Corey is a fan of the Olive Garden. just a thought.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:06 AM
mmonast…not at all. and now, since i lost a bet, i have to write a blog post about a romantic evening with Corey Patterson while somehow saving my dignity.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
Nick…too late, we went to a Thai restaurant.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:10 AM
Brady’s sister looks like a foot.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
I don’t even know what that means exactly…but she does at least look more hittable than his uber-overrated girlfriend.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
i’d spy on her gate
May 19th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
Spence – why the new avatar?
May 19th, 2008 at 9:14 AM
By the way, if Gonzo shows his face here today, please remind him that he doesn’t love Sid Crosby’s five hole he is Sid Crosby’s five hole.
Let’s go Pens!!!
May 19th, 2008 at 9:15 AM
Brady’s sister is kinda cute.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
Roethlishotdog…dunno, just felt like making a change.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
Aren’t you supposed to be giving blumpkins?
May 19th, 2008 at 9:19 AM
that’s his brother, cbh
May 19th, 2008 at 9:20 AM
The 49er fans all look the same to me.

May 19th, 2008 at 9:23 AM
TBL – Enough with Jerry O’Connell and Dan LeBetard. Good god, you are becoming like TMZ. At least Lebatard is a sports writer, but enough is enough with the other guy.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:36 AM
damn chelsea chris. Someone piss in your coffee this morning
May 19th, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Nice pic but I think her sister is hotter (Has More Ass)
Just like Kim K’s sister is Hotter-than-Kim (Less Enhancement-work)
May 19th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Chelsea has had abug up his ass for a week. Let me settle in before we start fighting.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:40 AM
chelsea blasted cool rick last night, even though I think they’re practically neighbors. Good stuff.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:43 AM
I just have a bad case of the Mondays.
May 19th, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Who said Willie was off the hotseat? Fuck that..the Mets are still .500 for the Month of May and a game over .500 since June 1st last year…The Mets need to go inot ATL and win 3 of 4…they need to put togetehr a 18-2 17-3 type stretch…there will be more on this later in a little blog you may have heard of…probably at 2pm
May 19th, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Imig’s list was spot on….So, last week I am at the gym. And some guy is coming his hair in front of the mirror in the locker room. Only probelem is he is sixty, fat as shit, and buck ass naked. His junk is resting on the countertop while he perfects his comb over. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure the cool countertop feels like money on your hot old man balls, but what the fuck.

No comment about WNBA players and dribble penetration.
I would be afraid that Lauren Jackson would smother me.
