The Roundup: The NFL Combine is Here!
Animals, College Basketball, Fighting, Golf, High School Sports, NBA, NFL, NHL February 18th. 2009, 8:00am
A personal favorite, Sophia Bush, and then somebody named Camille Belle jump … Luke P jailed for being $10k behind in child support …America’s banking crisis: Worse than Japan? … woman in Wisconsin talks about spearing (!) 50-pound white sturgeon … great way to lower unemployment: buy people plane tickets out of the country … stupid fake job postings … Sirius lives! … Rachel Bilson might be engaged … pop tarts can be dangerous … an auto bailout plan has been pitched (try to contain your anger) …
Issues with the media’s “mock” NCAA bracket: Clemson at 2, Butler at 3, Missouri at 4, and that’s just for starters. (Rush the Court)
The latest golf rockstar: Ryo Ishikawa. (NY Times)
Not like a high school basketball game marred by a brawl that spills into the stands. (Sentelligence)
And the athlete everyone is sick of most award goes to … Favre! A-Rod is 2nd. (Inside Handshake)
The chimp attack story is getting outrageous. Xanax, wine, lyme disease … (NY Post)
Broncos cut fifth defensive starter in two days, CB Dre Bly. (Denver Post)
Forbes must put out a list every day: Las Vegas is America’s emptiest city, narrowly edging Detroit. (List)
Who will make a better pro, Thabeet or DeJuan Blair? (Ballin is a Habit)
“The team doesn’t need Alex the way he’s playing right now,” is probably not what you want to hear from your coach before the team goes on the road and leaves you behind. (Globe and Mail)
Perhaps NBA All-Star game ratings still remain low because the game is on cable? (Sports Media Watch)

What do you mean another? And this one isn’t close to happening yet.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:10 AM
fixed
February 18th, 2009 at 8:13 AM
emmmmmmmmmmm Buuuuuuuusssssssshhhhhhhh.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:15 AM
Camille Belle rocks me sideways.
Here’s hoping the Jets sign him!
February 18th, 2009 at 8:16 AM
i thought you were a colts guy?
this jets fan doesn’t want him. think he’ll want big $
February 18th, 2009 at 8:19 AM
Hey TBL, did you see this, I hope this makes it to Maury:

13 year old boy, you are NOT the father!

Why would you WANT to claim that kid as yours. I mean fuck don’t they know how much that will cost?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:22 AM
It couldnt be the fact that it comes on at 9pm on a Sunday night.
How is a sport supposed to grow if kids cant watch…oh, wait a minute, Im bashing the wrong sport and commish.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:24 AM
Twas a joke. I hope nobody offers him big money, not with the way Denver got thrown on when Bailey wasn’t in there last year. Shit, even when Bailey was in there they got thrown on.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:27 AM
Bly would be a great fit for the Jets (Already have a great young CB)
And since when does an athlete wanting big $ meant anything???
February 18th, 2009 at 8:27 AM
trust me that is reversed.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:27 AM
maybe its just me (doubt it), but Zach Randolph seem like a huge piece of shit
February 18th, 2009 at 8:28 AM
Excited about the Sirius stuff, satellite radio is a stellar product.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:32 AM
I love Johnny Damon…
He hasn’t done a crime. So there’s worse things that he could have done
Johnny, what would have been worse?\
Murdering someone…

jets are broke, probably victims of madoff
February 18th, 2009 at 8:39 AM
Forbes must put out a list every day: Las Vegas is America’s emptiest city
Someone really needs to report on how this is affecting the prostitution industry. I would prefer to read an article on that (with quotes!) than read about continue to read about the banking or auto industries.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Broke as in ‘They must sell the team’ or ‘I can’t get anymore credit’
February 18th, 2009 at 8:40 AM
Contain anger? Over some more BS for greedy fucks…..if they get another bailout there could be some serious pushback. What a fucking waste of money.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:41 AM
If the worst case scenario (as submitted by GM I believe) is a bankruptcy that costs the us gov 100 billion, how much are we going to spend before we pass that water mark trying to save the auto industry?
And while Im bitching … I want to put down a complaint on record before Barry launches his “irresponsible dumb asses who bought too much house get bailed out plan” – FU Barry.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
hunter smith, now that’s a coveted free agent!
punters are the new QBs
February 18th, 2009 at 8:43 AM
have you found the price on call girls skyrocketing? is it easier to get high-quality women?
February 18th, 2009 at 8:44 AM
If you’re into dudes who consistently outkick their coverage, have at him.
And anyone who thinks Dre Bly isn’t washed up hasn’t watched a Broncos game over the past couple years. McAlister has more left in the tank than him. Whoever signs him for more than the vet. min. to play the nickel is wasting their money.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:45 AM
Forbes must put out a list every day: Las Vegas is America’s emptiest city
I love Forbes lists, but the slide shows have gots to go! Just list the damn shit!, right?

TBL (going off your comment #20)… the franchise tag is very interesting
RB B-Jacobs franchise tag number is $6.6 million
DE Julius Peppers franchise number $16.7 million
That IS astonishing to me (And I know it’s predicated off past contracts)
February 18th, 2009 at 8:48 AM
Yes it takes fuckin 15 minutes to get thru the list instead of 30 seconds.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
slideshows and galleries are for “page view whores” as some like to say … note: we don’t do those here.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Bsanders- you beat me to it.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
Shouldn’t be. Running backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL, elite pass rushers are, along with elite left tackles, the hardest thing to come by other than a competent QB. Plus, with the big money guys like Freeney and Allen have recently signed for, they’ve pushed the DE franchise number into the stratosphere.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:54 AM
indeed. stern, rivals radio and nfl radio have saved me the past two weeks from completely going postal at work.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:56 AM
@bsanders
I ALREADY know that!!! And it is because I don’t CARE how the politics-n-business of NFL dictates the salary structure… Peppers ISN’T worth $10 million more dollars than Jacobs OR any other High-Caliber RB IMO
February 18th, 2009 at 8:58 AM
have you found the price on call girls skyrocketing? is it easier to get high-quality women?
Shit… I don’t let my bitches use the economy as an excuse. They know they better have my money.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:12 AM
i agree that peppers isn’t, but i think mario williams would be. great linemen always impact the game more than dime a dozen fast guys.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:12 AM
slideshows and galleries are for “page view whores†as some like to say … note: we don’t do those here.
Exactly!!
February 18th, 2009 at 9:19 AM
@spencer096… THAT is exactly the point I was making.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
NFL fans should read http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/
It’s a great site that explains things very well, IMO.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:43 AM
camille belle while hot is probably the worst actress going right now
February 18th, 2009 at 9:45 AM
LOL! Did you see the Bengals Franchised their kicker?
February 18th, 2009 at 11:50 AM
Why is Missouri overrated at a four seed?
