Sunday morning, your bed, Megan Fox, a drink, and the paper … let the Andy Roddick wedding countdown begin! … squabbling at MSNBC … Stephon Marbury spent $45 million on a jet … Fat Joe (yes, really) will be at a DNC party tonight … first thought after Hillary’s incredible speech last night: Damn, it really is too bad she’s not the candidate. Second: Damn, why didn’t Obama pick her as he VP? …

More Megan Fox please!
Between the Yankees sucking ass and it only being Wednesday, I’m this close to deciding to get shitfaced in the office this morning.
Bailey’s in your coffee anyone?!!
August 27th, 2008 at 8:03 AM
wait till you see the 9 am post, Fatty
August 27th, 2008 at 8:03 AM
Brady is from San Mateo, CA which is not that far from Brentwood. He grew up a Niners fan and Montana was his idol. It’s not like he’s buying a house in West Hollywood or Malibu Beach.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:04 AM
No way Brady is building a house in Cali to be closer to his son! He’s the worst father in the universe! He must be doing it for Giselle. What, she lives in New York?
August 27th, 2008 at 8:06 AM
TBL, are you warning of a Yankees death post. i guess this may be inevitable.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:07 AM
St. Bear – I THINK they mean the Brentwood section of LA, not the Brentwood near SF.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:07 AM
Fantasy alert: The Bucs 3rd string RB is hurt. Plan accordingly.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:11 AM
Not sure about anyone else, but I was either distracted by Megan Fox or none of the links felt worthy of clicking.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:11 AM
I guess Obama will see McCain’s Daddy Yankee and raise him a Fat Joe.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:12 AM
Fantasy Alert: If you draft a bucaneer you may be in trouble!
August 27th, 2008 at 8:13 AM
Good points, St. Bear.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:13 AM
Since when does Chad have a labia?
August 27th, 2008 at 8:18 AM
TBL – See map. Brentwood section of LA (look for Brentwood CC) is just southwest of UCLA.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:19 AM
I am assuming Jay the Jackass gets his own post.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:24 AM
@guinness – chad’s had a labia for a long time. he seems to get sand in the adjacent orafice whenever carson doesn’t throw him the ball.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:28 AM
Though they haven’t really shown any signs of life in the past month, I still don’t think the Yanks are dead yet. They are capable of running of a stretch of hitting that can carry them into the thick of the wild card race. Can’t be losing games at home to Wakefield tho….
I’ll waiting for the post.
BTW,
Can you despise a player more than I do Youkilis? (schilling isn’t active)
What an asshole-looking guy he is!
August 27th, 2008 at 8:29 AM
What does it say about me that my first thought when I saw the name Arnold was this guy?
August 27th, 2008 at 8:33 AM
Is Mariotti applying for the intern position here?
Wait, you already found an intern?
August 27th, 2008 at 8:34 AM
Brentwood??? Let’s hope he treats his baby momma better than OJ did!
/mid-90s zinger!

Hey guys, could we possibly take it easy on Detroit for a while? Our baseball team quit on us at the All Star Break, our basketball team is older than dirt and seems happy to be the Bills of basketball. Our football team is was and always will be garbage. Our economy is dog shit and the whole state suffers for it. We really don’t need the rest of the nation to pile on. What is good for us is good for you.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Surprise, Caddy Williams is hurt. Lets hope Felix/Darren don’t suffer the Caddy/Ronnie fate, they are both probably headed for bustdom.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:39 AM
Brentwood is LA. As is Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Malibu,the Palisades and all the other places the celebrities tend to live. Once you cross the 405, unless you’re up in the hills, all bets are off…
August 27th, 2008 at 8:42 AM
John Calipari’s Memphis Tigers grab Yankees prospect
The odds that Coach Cal will land his younger brother just got larger. His younger brother is one of the top prospects in the class of ‘09. CJ Henry hasn’t played basketball in 3 years though. When he was in high school, he averaged 26 points a game and was considering Kansas and Memphis before he signed with the Yankees. The Yankees are paying the kids tuition as well
August 27th, 2008 at 8:44 AM
you whine so much.

Hello, “Lima Spills The Beans”!

good find, clown.

Clown and Lima sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:51 AM
our basketball team is older than dirt and seems happy to be the Bills of basketball
At least the Pistons won a title. Bills fans had to sit through 4, count them Maggs, 4 Super Bowls in a row that they lost in.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:51 AM
Maggs, don’t forget Michigan lost to App St. and DickRod can’t even name a starting QB or RB 3 days before the opener.
/bwahahahaha
August 27th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
Megan Fox is so overrated,this picture is not hot. She looks like Lohans older sister. I need more Sarah Shai in my life. Please stop with this Megan Fox parade…I will still nail her.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:53 AM
Maggs, you forgot that Detroit smells like mayo-filled armpit.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
maggs of course forgot to mention that the Red Wings are Stanley Cup Champions.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:55 AM
Careful Fatty. I have an uncle who looks exactly like Youkillis (if he were 50 pounds overweight).
August 27th, 2008 at 8:56 AM
Youkilis is the Greek God of Walks. But yeah, he looks like he’s a big fan of date rape.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:58 AM

What tells you that, his beard or batting stance.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:58 AM
so one can understand why Joba throws at him.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:59 AM
The beard tells me that. Don’t worry, I’m sure the resemblance of his beard to yours is only a coincidence.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:00 AM
What I appreciate is the fact that MSNBC and its liberal pundits only hurt the DNC. I love it. Keep at it.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:00 AM
Because he didn’t want 2 wannabe Presidents (Hillary and Bubba himself) looking over his shoulder, second guessing every decision, and bringing along their (considerable) baggage? I’m not sure Biden was the right choice a running mate, but in the long run, if Obama wins, Biden will provide more constructive input, I think, than the Clinton clan would have.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:00 AM
@hef-are you a gypsy!? how did you know.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:01 AM
Somewhere, Mama McNabb is weeping silently.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:04 AM
I am a gypsy. We prefer to be called “roma” you insensitive bastard.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
@hef-looked it up on wikipedia. Im not racist just ignorant. Kim K looks Roma.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:17 AM
Because she ran a dumbshit campaign and then when it was clear to everyone on the planet that she was done she decided to keep going for over a month.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
GodsoftheGridiron is right. Stop slobbering over her lack of competence. If a sports team prepared for a game the way she prepared for the primary season, you would be pissing all over them. She lost fair and square. Get over it!!
August 27th, 2008 at 9:47 AM
#3rd thought after her speech: damn, is she still talking about herself. 4th thought: Harriet Tubman? Really? You’re like Harriet Tubman and Obama is the free North?
August 27th, 2008 at 9:50 AM
The speech last night was the bomb. It shows that the Clinton’s know how to hire speech writers and make it show “in the moment”.
However, her inability to lead was the main reason that the campaign fell apart. If she had any ability to guide her staff, she would likely be the candidate. She did not, and she is not.
I don’t blame BO for not taking her as VP. If I were in that situation, I would want no part of looking over both shoulders at Billary to get a peek at what they were doing behind my back.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:52 AM
Dont forget shes a woman.
August 27th, 2008 at 9:57 AM
That saved by the bell-sec link is good stuff.
August 27th, 2008 at 10:12 AM
I lived with Youk’s brother for two years. True story.
August 27th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
TBL, are you serious about Hillary????
THat is exactly why he DIDNT choose her…she plugged her own platform and then threw in an occassional “vote for obama”….she wants the white house more than anything and is still bitter about it…
THere is no way that she will COMPLETELY be behind Obama due to the nature of their race….she would not have been someone that would SUPPORT him 100%….you cant have someone like that behind you, someone that will second guess everything that you do…
August 27th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
@cursed: that’s ridiculous. did he look like a pirate too?
August 27th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
good call Ark. The Tennessee comparison was pretty funny.
August 27th, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Nawww, he went into their Dad’s diamond business. Full head of hair as well. He reads this site.
Hef, I defer to you in times of language (and women), but I couldn’t use “disinterested” the way I did?”
August 27th, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Because he’d rather not die from eating poisoned food.
August 27th, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Cursed: No, you meant uninterested. Disinterested was a term coined by Immanuel Kant in his Defense of Reason where he argued that the only valid judgment is one that is made when the person in disinterested in a subject: where the viewer/judger is completely impartial. Don’t worry, common mistake.
August 27th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Did anyone see Chris Matthews and KO get into a little spat last night? I thought Matthews was going to really go after KO. Matthews was rambling on, and KO was trying to cut him off to go to the guest they had, KO apologized to the guest because of it and Matthews went off on him and looked pissed. I missed the other stuff the Page Six piece talks about. Funny to see though, but had to be awkward for anyone there working or that guest.
August 27th, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Who the fuck is KO?
August 27th, 2008 at 12:21 PM
@Tampa: KO is Keith Olbermann, I think.
August 27th, 2008 at 1:42 PM
“On Arnold’s street” pretty much implies that it’s the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, which ironically, is within a few miles of West Hollywood or Malibu.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:17 PM
Guys, we’re missing the major theme of Intern Bill’s posts. If we were to step back and really look at what the guy is trying to get across, his message becomes quite obvious, making Bill’s writing much more palatable to a wider audience…
/Intern Bill rocks my socks

wrong post NickP?
