The name’s Padma, and if you watch reality TV, you may know her work … played hoops again this morning, thus the late start … President of Brazil blames economic mess on “white people” … Portland, hurting … judges deserve more than seven years in jail for this … if you’d like your stomach to churn over the economy, this is for you … don’t drink that hot tea! … after the jump, Billy Gillispie attempting to outrun a TV crew …
Bill Raftery has had a great NCAA tournament, and captured the top spot from Gus Johnson as the best college hoops analyst. (NYT via Hot Clicks)
Ya don’t say, Mr. Posnanski? (KC Star)
We haven’t gotten this in the mail, but did ESPN really put half an ad on the mag cover? (Portfolio)
Forget Magic-Bird in 1979 … what about the McDonald’s All-American game that year? (ESPN)
Nick Montana still has no clue where he’s going to college. Lotta folks want him, though. (AJC)
The speed of new media: Two years ago it was Myspace, then Facebook, and now Twitter. Whatever’s next will probably seem Twitter like a joke in six months. (NYT)
College football recruit tears up Vegas as if he were Pacman Jones. (Deadspin)
Will the Iowa sports radio people make up their minds? (Des Moines Register)

No Comment.
That video is funny as shit.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:27 AM
Ah the classic, “I’m on the phone, but not really” maneuver, genius!
March 28th, 2009 at 11:31 AM
The video would be better if it were spliced together with other videos of people on the phone. Are the great comic minds of our generation sleeping in this morning?
March 28th, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Cutler is an asshole. Does anyone really care what BCG has to say about being fired? Its pretty irrelevant at this point.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Ah Padma …most know her from “Top Chef” where it she who should be served garnished with fruit or something …a Vegas 10 so long as she does not talk …mmm mmm …check out the photos of her on and uh, if you have never been there, you better budget a few hours to see so many hot chicks naked whom you have not seen naked before because you didn’t know.
(NSFW – obviously)

President of Brazil blames economic mess on “white peopleâ€
tampa: I thought only Paolo was from Brazil. I didn’t know you and clown were too
March 28th, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Paolo: I just saw your last post. You are now OK w/ me.

i didn’t know franklin raines was white?
March 28th, 2009 at 11:43 AM
reporters like that are so fucking sleazy, they’re like paparazzi. How many sets of doors are in that building?

hell yeah i know padma…she hosts top faux hawk.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:51 AM
TBL – where are these black and whites of Padma coming from? Hot clicks had an image from the same shoot up yesterday.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:51 AM
the video would be better if they had 2 dudes carrying a plate glass window for gillispie to jump through….and some chase music…like some 21 jump street chase music
March 28th, 2009 at 11:53 AM
that picture makes my face melt.
March 28th, 2009 at 11:53 AM
Wow what a hater that dude from Brasil …he should just blame the whyyyte of the “white people,” as in the too whyyyte of them, more accurately for other strange uppity especially suburban phenonena like the following …classic Eddie Murphy skit too:
Greeting Cards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXCv_OQw46Q
See how many of these might incriminate you as maybe a bit “too whyyyte”; then don’t get mad at me, look in the mirror and get to work!
1) Wine & Cheese Parties
2) Putting Clothing On Animals
3) Dog Or Cat Sitting When One Is Not On Vacation/Holiday
4) The Arrogance Of Customers In Any Panera — Because It’s Soooo Much Better Than Subway
5) Awful Uppity “Fashion” Like The Gap, J Crew, Land’s End
6) The Whole 1980s Prep Movement
7) Unmanned Gated Communities (they are the only folks who believe those gates actually stop thieves)
9) C-SPAN (the live set of how awful it is to live in a place like Metro Washington DC)
10) Home & Garden TV
11) Truck Stops (sometimes I like these though)
12) VISA commercials
13) Associated advertising for typically “white” shows like “Seinfeld,” “Friends,” “Family Ties”, “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Sex In The City,” “Cheers,” “Desperate Housewives,” et cetera …
14) Singing Comedy
15) Gay ads that everyone thought was so “cute” like this Jeep Liberty ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8qVM6f9Ogs
And I am not talking about well-noted timeless “whyyyte” phenomena which to varying degrees some of us might enjoy or hate whatever our background like NASCAR, IHRA, motorsport in general, James Lipton, Wilfred Brimley, Andy Griffith, Willard Scott, Barry Manilow, Wayne Newton, Bob Newhart, Bob Hope, The Beach Boys, Lenard Skynard, Jimmy Buffett, The Grateful Dead, Hee Haw, country music, heavy metal, polka, et cetera.

JPQ olive branch okay
March 28th, 2009 at 11:56 AM
you don’t like Panera?
March 28th, 2009 at 11:56 AM
That number 8 is so fucking cool
March 28th, 2009 at 11:59 AM
wayne newton and barry manilow are hard to defend. didn’t lebron say he had manilow on his ipod? i guess he wants to sell to everyone.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Barry Manilow fans buy shoes too.

sponge don’t get me wrong, Panera is great, but man are the other customers there so arrogant, acting like, “Ah, we are here, we are soooo much better than all those ‘commoners’ at the other establishments in this strip mall”; too many East Coast ninnie bitches there for my likes.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Ron Mexico you stoned? That was just a mistake for 8
March 28th, 2009 at 12:07 PM
Panera sucks. I’ve never had anything good there, except for the bagels, and bagels are always good.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:09 PM
hmmm… i figured people were like “i’m here for the the free wifi and a tasty sammich.”
March 28th, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Good point mrejr. I have enjoyed the free wifi and coffee there before.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:12 PM
Gus Johnson does play-by-play, he isnt an analyst.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:12 PM
I think Padma is extremely hot, and have for a while. Hard to get over the visual of her banging her ex-husband Salman Rushdie, though
http://xrayskd2000.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/padma_lakshmi_salman_rushdie.jpg
March 28th, 2009 at 12:19 PM
maybe rushdie has a huge dong and a even bigger bank acct. or he just has money and once she started making her top chef money she figured she doesnt need to fuck gimli anymore.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:21 PM
LOL
March 28th, 2009 at 12:23 PM
Simmon’s newest podcast is with his boss.
March 28th, 2009 at 12:46 PM
I have been sending TBL Padma pics for awhile now. Better late than never. She is hot and loves food… my perfect girl.
March 28th, 2009 at 1:05 PM
this video is going to go down as one of the all-time greatest
March 28th, 2009 at 1:08 PM
right up there with gundy from OK state
March 28th, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Gus Johnson is a play by play guy, not an analyst.
March 28th, 2009 at 1:42 PM
My ESPN Mag had the half-cover ad. I’m a subscriber by default (want the Insider content) and threw up a little in my mouth when I saw it. The fact they did this after the ombundsperson wrote her last column is certainly not a coincidence.
March 28th, 2009 at 1:51 PM
That “reporter” is a Class A douchebag
March 28th, 2009 at 1:54 PM
i would have really liked to see a big ass security guard clothesline him after the “i can run all day ” comment.
March 28th, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Brock speaketh again much wisdom. He hates it when folks like me agree with him. Brock, mellow out have yourself some free no obligation porn for a few hours (yes, unbelievably, it’s really free no sign-up and bs):D http://www.keezmovies.com/ Everyone else thank me later. If you are like me you’ll enjoy the fine assortment also of spicy chicks as a tribute to Padma who is a Vegas 10. Thanks for catching on from Zeke’s tips at last TBL and looking past Megan Fox and all those British lasses once in awhile to something more spicy and tasty.
March 28th, 2009 at 2:46 PM
There is discussion about the ESPN cover on the new Simmons podcast, where he has ESPN suit John Walsh as a guest.
March 28th, 2009 at 2:54 PM
who gives a fuck? are you really surprised that espn did that i’m not. they are in the business to make money. who cares what they put on the cover as long as they got the content in the mag? are you paying for whats on the cover or whats in the mag?
