Can we call this vintage Nikki Cox? We only use that word because Jay Mohr’s wife has gotten trigger-happy with surgery in recent years … not Happening: Beer Pong, the video game … remember Blossom’s friend Six? … we’re all about stockpiling for the worst, but this is taking it to another level … more gruesome details from that bus attack in Canada … hey, we were just talking about this as it pertains to sports! … will the Amanda Bynes fans show themselves? …

USA-Lithuania about to tip off …
August 1st, 2008 at 8:03 AM
I dont even like looking at ‘the rat’
August 1st, 2008 at 8:04 AM
dude, blossoms friend ‘Six’ was on Saved By The Bell ‘The College Years’ today! funny stuff
August 1st, 2008 at 8:05 AM
44 seconds in and Dwight Howard has his first thunderous dunk.
August 1st, 2008 at 8:07 AM
USA jumps to a 10-2 lead on a fierce LeBron slam on the break.
August 1st, 2008 at 8:15 AM
Well now. Billy Wagner is loose and throwing hard this morning. It took me about 5 minutes of trying to get in…
August 1st, 2008 at 8:18 AM
USA 21-5
Kleiza of the Nuggets is playing, and the guard with the long name who starred at Maryland.
24-5 as Kobe drains a deep 3.

Mike Williams was so nasty at USC. Too bad he couldn’t get his ass in shape in the NFL. I mean, to be cut by the Raiders and Titans — not exactly two teams with great WRs to compete with a job for.
August 1st, 2008 at 8:33 AM
Wagner’s being a real asshole this morning.

Present
Anyone else play the beer pong game on Supertouch in the bars? Not as good as I’d hoped it would be.
August 1st, 2008 at 8:35 AM
Id much rather just play real beer pong
August 1st, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Its Friday, I have no plans to do any work, and Billy is already throwing wild, dammit. The slingbox doesn’t like basketball, during fast moving sequences the picture gets pretty bad, still trying to watch.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I think the Sixers would like Williams to run the point in the post-Andre Miller era and possibly play some minutes at the 2……not the other way around.
And a beer pong video game is just lame.

Jonah Goldberg is batshit crazy.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:14 AM
Nikki Cox? OK, maybe 10 years ago when she was that hot young redhead with the amazing rack on that cheap Married with Children knockoff show with Bobcat Goldwait.
Now? She’s been sliced and diced more than a Kill Bill extra. Shame.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:16 AM
Fix.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:23 AM
Ok…..So I will never ride the Bus ever in life.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:23 AM
Dwight Howard leading the way today. Lithuania is keeping it close, 70-54 USA
August 1st, 2008 at 9:28 AM
One of the announcers with a good line, “x fumbled it out of bounds, Ernest Byner style.”
USA 77-57, this one’s over, even though there’s a quarter left.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:32 AM
So a few places outlaw beer pong and that makes the author of that article question if beer pong will last? Bhahahahahahahhaha.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:33 AM
@TBL- what do you think about Kidd leading the team? i would love to see CP3 starting
August 1st, 2008 at 9:39 AM
DWade has been looking damn good, nice to see him healthy again. You know I didn’t even want Kidd on the team, let alone starting. CP3 has been much better.
August 1st, 2008 at 9:44 AM
NRO Link the best of the morning
August 1st, 2008 at 9:46 AM
@coop- D Wade is looking nice. USA is crushing Lithuania right now
August 1st, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Cap Boso – unstoppable…
August 1st, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Awesome “Family Values” at o$u
Boren is a weak idiot.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:00 AM
120-84
done
August 1st, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Michael Redd is so money. He has one of the sweetest strokes i have seem. D Wade played well and so did Lebron. Dwight Howard was a beast as usual
August 1st, 2008 at 10:07 AM
Six’s ass – world class.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:09 AM
Please don’t ever put a Nikki Cox picture on the site again. That chicken is definitely not clucking anymore.
August 1st, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Jenna Von Desperate for attention

That Greyhound Bus story is fucking nuts.
Lesson learned today: Amtrak > Greyhound
August 1st, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Jonah Goldberg is right.
