PM Roundup: Browns Cut Staff; The Sports Guy Talks Obama
College Football, ESPN, NASCAR, NHL, Politics January 22nd. 2009, 3:00pm
This is Gemma Garrett, the current Miss Great Britian and Miss Belfast. I don’t really see how that’s fair. Can she just keep going from town to town taking Miss titles… Wait, there’s a politics page on her website. She’s a dangerous person.

it would have been nicer if they signed him for $2 or maybe $50,000 that the family can use for care or donate to research.

Teens abused elderly at a nursing home in Minnesota.
I would totally nail the top chick but the stuff they did was sickening.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
even maggs would have to laugh at that, right? right? hello?
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
the one in the 2nd picture seems to dabble in crystal meth
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Maggs laugh? Now that is comedy.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
“Several trailers burned in the fire.”
That kinda went without saying when flaming squirrels are involved.

This post is garbage. He wasn’t “paid”, he was “compensated”. I hope you all die a horrible death. Check that, I hope all of your limbs are cut off and you live another 100 years.

The Browns were able to downsize the front office because they have ManKok that can fill the holes

@sponge – Wow. That’s unfortunate.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:24 pm
crash causes hundreds of kegs to spill on the highway
of course someone from Ohio caused that crash. Damn out of state drivers need to learn how to drive down here
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:27 pm
The Capitals cook-off at Good Stuff Eatery (Spike from Top Chef’s DC restaurant) took place a long while ago. I remember seeing that video at the team’s first or second home game this year.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
slow and covering every inch of the road between, and sometimes outside of, the lines? that’s how it is in Jax at least.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:31 pm
when i lived in Boca, i enjoyed watching people who received their driver’s license from the state of Florida try to parallel park in spots that were 2 car lengths. they would still manage to hop the curb or bump the cars in front or behind them.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:36 pm
That Penguins story has to one of the coolest sports stories I have read in years…
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I misread the story. The out of state driver from Ohio hit the trailer that was already stopped on the road from the initial accident
Still, out of state drivers down here suck.
@sparty- Boca is filled w/ seniors. dont laugh at the old folk
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
irish – those old folks got their license in NY. I am talking about the teens who head over to the Starbucks at Mizner Park. if patphish is around, he knows what I am talking about.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
I don’t laugh at the old folk; I ride their bumpers and flash my lights at them until they move the fuck out of the way.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
She also has been accused of bathing a male resident in a deliberately rough manner so the elderly man would get an erection.
Man, I am so unlucky — stuff like that never happens to me.
SFW — I cannot believe her boobs are real.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:41 pm
or give them a seizure…either or.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:41 pm
the old folk are the ones that can’t decide if they want to pull out of a parking lot until the very last second, and you slam on your brakes while the guy behind you plows into you. all the while, the old folks have driven off…
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
big nuts, googling ms hazel makes my day.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Yeah her too arkbadger. Her too!
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:45 pm
they’re real and they’re spectacular.

Wow – 2.2 million per win is a lot. Don’t worry, though – they just hired Greg Robinson to be their defensive coordinator… hahahaha! 2.2 million per win will seem like a bargain!
Michigan sucks.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Anyone with a dog, be careful reading Simmons’ article today… wow that was depressing.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:49 pm
OUMike – I wish nothing but leprosy on you and your family.
/maggs’d
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Greg Robinson has been good as a coordinator.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Cassino – maybe your definition of “good” and mine differ. Hasn’t he been fired from numerous D-coordinator positions after making their defenses worse?
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
i know that’s literally everyone’s story when they have a dog, but damn…man, i feel for him. my dog is on her last legs as well, probably 6 more months, and when she gets put down, im gonna be a wreck for a week.
January 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Cassino-minimal success. the two Super Bowl rings that he has, Denver played good enough defense, nothing to write home about. it was their offense (TD and Elway) that was the juggernaut. anywhere else he was, the teams defenses were not good.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:04 pm
so sad Cracker Jack, I have 2 Goldens, they are 7, it will be a sad sad day when one goes because I’m guessing the other will soon after.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:15 pm
damn, i never read simmons but i read that article and almost started crying at work. i have 2 black labs, one is 9 one is 7. i keep telling myself they will be around forever.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:26 pm
I love dogs, I don’t want a dog to suffer. However I draw the line at expensive procedures. I know a guy who has dropped nearly 10K on two new hips for his dog. 10 fucking grand, shit, I’d tell my wife to walk if off, I’m sure as hell not spending that on a dog.
Animals die, all the time, doesn’t mean you won’t miss them, but at the end of the day its just a dog. My cold heart comes from growing up on a farm, we ate our pets (not the dog or cats, but everything else).
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
not a cold heart, people that will do anything to keep their pets alive, (to a point) are always doing for their benefit.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
coop…i agree. one of my best buddy’s mothers had these two whippets (the mini-greyhounds, not when you spray condensed air up your nose) and both lived to 22. she spent tons of money on ridiculous procedures and fed them fresh meat every morning that she’d cook up even tho she was a macrobiotic vegan and it probably made her want to vomit.
there’s no point in dragging out a dog’s life. even when it’s time to put my pooch down, it’s better than her suffering or getting some absurd procedure just so we can eek out another year and a half while we have to carry her outside.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I was trying to describe whippets (the kind you huff) to someone just the other day. Man those are fantastic, you can just feel your brain melting for 20 seconds. Good times.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:48 pm
coop, ahh, the wah-wah’s. it’s been a while since i have felt that dumb.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I like my drugs to come from the earth (save for those few times i took acid)
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Whippets seem to be available at every entrance and exit to the tailgating lot at Phillies game after the game ends. But these people are awful at making money. I always end up with 5, and have never paid for them.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
But I agree with arkbadger, I usually barter them for more free beers.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Check that, I agree with sponge.
January 22nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
nitrous > whippets
