Jordana Brewster on a Monday, because we think her winter arc on Chuck ends tonight … As we close in on Armageddon, fireballs are lighting up the Canadian sky … every stock mutual fund has lost money in 2008, except one … anyone saving up for a half-price mansion? … might these type of protests in Iceland be coming soon in our country? … after the jump, the irresistible Salma …

translates to: all the positions that will become available, suck.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:18 am
After Norv Turner helped Indy win the game last night, don’t be surprised if Cowher goes to San Diego.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Come on clown. Norv only gave the Colts an extra 25-30 seconds. I don’t see how that made a difference.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Norv Turner, screwing up Super Bowl talent since 1996.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:24 am
who isn’t happy about this week? short week of work, thursday full of football, college hoops in maui … this is an awesome week!!
November 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am
screw Maui. The Old Spice Classic is the tourney to watch this week.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am
That Charger loss should vault them into the Top 5 of the TBL power rankings.
Thanks Norv.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Come on, we all know the Colts never win any games. Either the refs or someone from the other team does it for them. Fucking Hoosiers, always cheating.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:29 am
The Horns are winning Maui. Book it.

manning/favre playoff game? can you imagine the hype around that?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Who plays the disrespect card more – bsanders37 or the Patriots?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:31 am
oooo, favre/manning … had not thought of that. damn.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:32 am
The Pink Taco Invitational is the pointless early season tournament to watch…

I like to picture bsanders talking to his family after Thanksgiving dinner:
You know, when I took that second turkey leg and extra scoop of mashed potatoes, nobody in that dinning room thought I would be able to clear my plate. Nobody believed in me. They thought I had breakfast too late in the morning. Now here I am, finishing off my third piece of pumpkin pie. When will ya’ll learn?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:38 am
The Colts won every game this year on their own not involving Norv Turner, T. Jackson, Sage Rosenfels, Ben Roth., a rookie QB, or a QB starting for the first time since high school. The rest of their wins are totally legit…

CRM
- Who eats breakfast on Thanksgiving?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Sparty – off topic here, but WTF was up with D’Antonio and the timeouts on Sat. night?
November 24th, 2008 at 8:44 am
You do, according to hypothetical story I just fabricated in comment #17. That’s who.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Intern CRM > CRM.
There. I said it.

i don’t know…but everyone was having a bad night on that sideline.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I typically do – need to soak up the alcohol from the night before since I run the local 5k Turkey Trot.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Bill Snyder’s coming back to coach Kansas State, but why’d he leave in the first place?
Because he had no interest in coaching or recruiting anymore. KSU is screwed.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Yeah? Well LeBron is leaving Cleveland in 2010.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:48 am
you gotta eat breakfast, warm up the stomach.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:52 am
I can see the argument for warming up the stomach. I usually prefer to just gorge, then nap during the second half of the Lions losing to whoever their opponent is. Then, you wake up in time to gorge again and watch with glazed eyes to see if Jerry Jones pops a facial stitch.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:53 am
That’s harsh, CRM. I meant that as a compliment, btw.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Sparty – before booking your SB tickets, check back for a post at 945. no spoilers …
November 24th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Sorry. That did get a little out of hand there. I just hope the guys from WFNY didn’t see that comment.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:56 am
$50 says he calls the Giants frauds. $50 says he mentions a Jets dynasty. And another $50 if he says that Favre is the MVP of the season. Someone give me odds goddammit.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Hef – I’ll take every one of those bets.

Clown you think Texas is topping Carolina this week huh? Interesting. T is back. I see no chance of them losing this week. Alright I’ll give them a .09% chance to save face for when they lose, but really it’s like no chance.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Texas Tech
Titans

And Nick, I disagree. InternCRM is lazy, vengeful and incompetent. Regular CRM is just lazy and vengeful.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Surely we can sign up for some kind of “TBL Insider” account to get this info before then, right?
November 24th, 2008 at 9:02 am
i swear, if you jump on the “Cowboys are back” bandwagon, I am crossing the bridges to slap you.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:02 am
Nick P.
I eagerly await the Texas Tech is a Fraud post later today. He’s had the Titan’s are a Fraud post written up for about a month now. He just needed to wait for the final details.

die…die works for me.November 24th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Good point, Hef.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Things I imagine TBL will post today:
1. The Cowboys are back and the Giants look mortal
2. The Titans = frauds
3. Texas Tech = frauds
4. Since the Broncos also got beat, the Chargers remain a top-8 team
5. Brett Favre is the MVP and the Jets will beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl

Cowher will be named coach of the KC Chiefs in 2010. Herm will survive this trainwreck of a season, hard to believe yes, and they’ll fire the D-coordinator Gunther Cunningham and his entire staff.
In 2010 you will see Carl Peterson gone, Herm gone, Chan Gailey gone, the remodeled Arrowhead Stadium completed and yes, you will see The Chin hired as the new Chiefs coach. Bank on it.
