The Grammys were last night, so here’s Christina Milian; Katy Perry after the jump … what has become of politics: Val Kilmer may run for Governor of New Mexico …two plague-infected mice (dead ones) go missing in New Jersey … there’s life after football - if you’re business-minded … Gold teeth for sale on the streets of New Orleans … Wall Street types using corporate cards for sex? … scary chart comparing job losses in this downturn to the ones in 2001 and 1990 … if you plan on stealing prescription drugs, don’t get caught this way … bad time to be employed in Atlantic City …

Tiger’s got a blurb on his website about his son, Charlie.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:04 AM
one could have all sorts of fun with that line.

Talented singer/dancer Chris Brow
Talented? Eh…
February 9th, 2009 at 8:11 AM
Chris Brown isn’t talented? Who is?

People STILL snort cocaine… Didn’t all of the Real Famous Snorters from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s do PSA(s) and Drug-Bio(s) regarding their extensive drug use! Jamal never met or heard of Eric Clapton??? What the shame!
February 9th, 2009 at 8:14 AM
this sucks for my fantasy team. ESPN needs to make him IR eligible so i can pick someone up.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:16 AM
Chris Brown’s a fat little turd. I hope some dude in prison sinks his guadal canal.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:20 AM
Chris Brown isn’t talented? Who is?
I wouldn’t consider sales as a good measure for talent. I think longevity is a better judge. Hollywood can market almost anyone in the music industry to the lemmings in America. How long has he been around? 4yrs? I’d wait to see how he does throughout his 20’s and 30’s when his audience won’t be mainly teenage girls.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:22 AM
Good God, no. That’s like using box office gross as a measure of how good a movie is. Chris Brown = Transformers.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:23 AM
i never said sales or anything else was a measure of talent. im asking you who in his genre IS talented
February 9th, 2009 at 8:24 AM
would you say Chris Brown is a young Usher? He’s been big for well over a decade.
talent is obviously subjective, but to say the guy isn’t talented is rather surprising (to me, at least)
February 9th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
The article you linked stated he was a top seller… I figured that’s why you referenced it.
And I’m not a fan, but Usher would be considerd much more talented in that genre.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
Yikes. Sorta like asking who’s the best point guard in the WNBA, isn’t it?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:28 AM
I’m really not a fan of the genre in general, but Usher and R. Kelly both. At this point, R. Kelly appears to be a bigger cheesedick than Chris Brown, but Brown’s young, and there are many young women in Hollywood he has yet to punch in the face.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
Chris Brown is talented. Dude can sing.
/no homo (concurrently, “no CRM” would also work)
February 9th, 2009 at 8:31 AM
Gonzaga sucks
February 9th, 2009 at 8:32 AM
the new cast of dancing with the stars is a losery mess. I’m a fan of Jewel (interviewed her a few times, super nice, and quite hot in person), but other than that … who cares?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
YOu know who’s talented? Larry Fitzgerald.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
snaggle
February 9th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
i didnt see that game, but how the heck did memphis destroy them? is this another situation where gonzaga just isn’t athletic enough?
gonzaga also lost to UT and had to go to OT to beat UT in knoxville …
February 9th, 2009 at 8:34 AM
Today’s pop stars are rarely talented.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:35 AM
What is Brown’s BABIP (Bashing Avg on Bitches in Public), NickP?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:35 AM
That play at the end of the first half last night is what would’ve happened if they’d reviewed the last play in the Super Bowl. Lucky for the Steelers, they didn’t.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:37 AM
Does Rihanna even count, ill?
She’s an alien.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:38 AM
one of my favorite stern lines of all time was when he once referred to jewel as “ollie the dragon.”

Ha. I’m not sure but I thought you would know more about the guy considering you’re a big fan and all…
February 9th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
pro bowl is getting its own post.
Ill – still waiting on why Chris Brown isn’t talented. Not entirely sure the thought process, or who IS talented.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
/fixed
false. the Zags have beaten the Vols twice this year: once in Orlando and once in Knoxville.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
A good comparison for Chris Brown would be Bobby Brown.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
I can’t think of anything people could possibly care less about.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:44 AM
TBL – I said that I would consider Usher talented in that genre.
I’ll agree that it’s very subjective say someone is talented. Maybe I just didn’t think it was necessary to put “talented” in front of Brown’s name in the Roundup.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Somehow that is racist.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Tim Tebow is the kind of player you draft in the first or second round and find 20 plays a game he can fit in somewhere, minimum, or let him compete for a starting quarterback job.
Bsanders – So, your thinking maybe a team should get more than 20 plays a game out of a first round pick?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Memphis destroyed Gonzaga the first 30 minutes. then, effing Few took most of his starters out except for effing Heytvelt and the backups came in with intensity and cut their deficit to eitehr 10 or 12 points with just about 2 minutes remaining. they couldn’t finish it though and Memphis hit some free throws and layups and extended the lead back to about 18 within the final minute to put it away for good.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
don’t forget actor. don’t cut him short TBL.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
is this another situation where gonzaga just isn’t athletic enough?
Yes. they are overrated
February 9th, 2009 at 8:46 AM
Usher > Chris Brown
February 9th, 2009 at 8:48 AM
Debating the musical merits of teenage pop tarts, welcome to sports hell, a.k.a. February.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:48 AM

I like a NeYo to young Usher comparison .. no idea why.
The wife watched the show and I noticed the country people/that brit chick sounded waaay better than the pop/rap performers.
Jamaal Anderson loves to ride the roller coaster. /Marvin Buxton
February 9th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
yes, Usher definitely over Chris Brown.
But i dont see why Brown isn’t on the Usher fast track. Then again, I dont even know who NeYo is.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:55 AM
@bsanders:
Don’t forget about his strong desire that he MUST see Coldplay live.
I used to like MMQB, but now i think I’m reading it purely out of habit. Definitely taken a steep nosedive since he went on NBC’s SNF.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:56 AM
Remember that back in the day Usher was making teeny pop crap before he broke out to an adult audience. And he didn’t beat up his girlfriends.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:58 AM
How good was FNL? TBL, is FNL getting its own post today?
February 9th, 2009 at 8:58 AM
KC he was making teeny pop shit because he was like 12. Him grinding on bitches at that age wouldn’t be appropriate.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Tiger Woods’ wife gave birth to a son this weekend.
lucky bastard.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:01 AM
I think Usher’s first album came out when he was 17. There was a song on there with Lil Kim that was pretty damn good. I hope one of Rihanna’s friends rips Chris Brown’s lips off and shoves them up his ass.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:01 AM
Tampa -
Well, yeah. TBL was comparing Brown to him and I was just pointing out that Usher made the jump.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:02 AM
My wife is telling me that her intuition is telling her our unborn child is a girl. Of course I’ll be happy either way, but damn I want a boy.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:03 AM

no wonder you hate on NBA posts. You love Usher bsanders
February 9th, 2009 at 9:04 AM
yes, FNL gets its own post today.
chris brown is making pop shit because he’s young … why wouldn’t he make the change like Usher?
February 9th, 2009 at 9:09 AM
I did enjoy that album, I confess. I was also like 13 or 14 when it came out. I’ll try to curb my NBA hatred from now on Irish, I can see how it would be annoying. I don’t hate the NBA, just prefer college’s style of play. Can’t stand watching one guy dribble and one guy play D while eight other guys stand around.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:14 AM
Just like NBA fans can’t stand a near-epoch length shot clock, junk defenses, and lay-up 3 point lines. To each his own, I suppose.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:17 AM
How could you not use a picture of Marissa Miller and Carrie Underwood from the Grammys? You’re losing your touch.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:22 AM
cjzimm – the fault in your statement was assuming TBL ever had touch in AM Roundup pics.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:32 AM
The cheer for Fly back in day was Fly’s Open, Let’s Go Peay!

be careful what you wish for. got 2 little knuckleheads. the only time something isn’t happening around here is when the tv is on.
February 9th, 2009 at 9:44 AM
No link to go along with your “mediocre Big 10″ comment? Weird. Couldn’t find any logical column to back up that statement?
February 9th, 2009 at 10:14 AM
angry -
boys are easier and lower daily maintenance,
but more destructive and smelly.
girls give more hugs and stay closer,
but are constantly full of drama.
Sports is definitely the best with boys. I have a HS QB finishing his Jr. year and we’re starting the DIAA and DII recruiting adventure. Waaaayy cool.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:11 AM
Really snorting coke off a toilet?? Was a hookers tit not available?
February 9th, 2009 at 12:28 PM
Angry, I’m in the same boat as you. My wife is preggers with our 2nd child and I guess I’d like a boy this time too but no woman in her family has ever given birth to a boy…ever.
February 9th, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Love my little girl. She likes watching hoops with me. Of course, she’s 5 months old and can’t work the remote.
Hope that doesn’t change!
