PM Roundup: Play Him Off
Baseball, College Basketball, College Football, NBA, Olympics, Video May 27th. 2009, 3:00pm
Diora Baird was an alien in the new Star Trek film. Other than that, she’s been in your dreams.
Its Wednesday, and weather permitting, I’ll be participating in my first softball game of the year today. My team is horrible, but we get to drink beers. (I promise those two things have nothing to do with each other.) I’m very excited. Can’t you tell?
The only type of recession link you’ll ever get from me – chains restaurants are expanding their menus to keep customers. (USA Today)
Generally, I’m not the one crying about all the new remakes raping my childhood, but the new GI JOE movie is going to rape my childhood. First the trailer, now the poster. (Film Drunk)
Turns out Gary Sheffield was a tremendous pickup for the Mets. (NY Sports Space)
A review of Lance Allred’s autobiography. (Deadspin, Cleveland Scene)
They’re running out of wide receivers at Florida State. (FanHouse)
The Royals’ manager got suspended for a game. (MLB)
Meme scenery. (Waxy)
Tim Lincecum is back. Just in time to save my fantasy season! Woot! (Joeh Q Public)
I’ll save you the pun for what’s after the jump.
A look at the Olympians and the playoffs. (Miz & Friends)
Meet WaPo’s newest sports columnist. (Sports Bog)
I wish I was paid as well by Notre Dame this year as Ty Willingham. (Journal-Gazette)
Mike Fontenot was on a TBS show. He’s like the white Tyler Perry. (Mouthpiece Sports)
New Madden ratings! (ESPN)
Finally, introducing, Keyboard Gato – Keyboard Cat’s Mexican brother. I think we’re nearing the end of an era meme.

Wait for his blowup during his or the team’s first extended slump.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:06 PM
Softball and beer are a good combo.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:06 PM
If TBS picks up My Name Is Earl, I will forgive the network for Tyler Perry and Frank TV
May 27th, 2009 at 3:07 PM
yeah, can’t wait for him to call Jerry Manuel a racist.

Another nice photo. Keep these PM roundups coming!

nice post Mizerle. Sparty and Friends are killing it

+1, CRM. Just noticed that.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:14 PM
I’d trek her star.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Good shit Miz… I still don;t understand why PM Roundups disappeared in the first place…. stop looking ta college humour videos in the afternoon CRM

Cats are gay as fuck but that’s some funny shit with them playing the piano. That one got all gay(er) and pissed off after about 30 seconds of being a puppet.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:19 PM
thanks for recognizing the new organization after the coup, CRM. I liken this to the Frenchies recognition of the Confederate States of America.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:19 PM
judges? oh, sorry we would have accepted, “i would board her enterprise” or “deep space nine was an abomination.”

thanks irish and jersey. I’ll bookmark those comments for leverage at the end of the fiscal year when sparty does performance evaluations.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:22 PM

Sorry, Domino’s. I’ll still spend a couple of extra dollars and buy a sub from a real restaurant or deli.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:22 PM
sparty – how did you convert that Excel spreadsheet to a jpg?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Oops. I mean you, miz.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:24 PM
ask miz.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Working on starting up ,my own shop sooner or later (commenter stealin)I’ll send an offer sheet for you to sign, see if sparty matches it.

The 45 trillion calorie bread bowl do anything for you?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:26 PM
I’ll handle this, sparty.
NDub – once you’ve got your table created in Excel, just highlight all the cells you want to copy and “ctrl+c” that shit. then, open up Paint and “ctrl+p” and save as a .jpg. you’ve now got yourself a .jpg from Excel, my friend.

Big Ben is rated higher than Cutler – Blasphemy!

Wow, great question asked by Kenny Smit on tw***er, “if you took the best player on every playoff team left, who has the lest talent…” As I got to the Magic, I asked myself, would I take off Howard….
May 27th, 2009 at 3:27 PM
you can have him for baseball season. he loves it.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:28 PM
sorry dominos…your food sucks.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:29 PM
must i do everything?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
+1, sparty.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
sorry dominos…your food sucks.
I like a little more than a tablespoon of tomato sauce on my pizzas. What was I thinking in college?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
then again, big ben’s “hang onto the ball for 10 seconds and throw up a prayer” rating definitely inflated his overall stats.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
“ctrl+p”…”ctrl+v”…whatever. paste that shit.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
I am a sucker for thin crust pepperoni and green peppers
May 27th, 2009 at 3:32 PM
But how else do I avoid the noid?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
NBA rescinded Dwights technical from last night
May 27th, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Where’s Favre? / ESPN’d
Where’s Sanchez? / TBL’d
Where’d Matt Ryan? / Seriously
May 27th, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Perhaps it was the Noid that should have avoided you.
/Adam West from Family Guy’d
Thank you, Miz.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:35 PM
I’m guessing they lumped that under “awareness”.
BTW-I highly recommended turning off the Safe Search in Google and typing in Diora Baird when you can. Her Playboy photos are spank-tastic.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Their pizza sucks, the pasta is terrible…but their subs are the fucking win. Not a better chain hot sub around, and they deliver.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
i never understood how dominos has stuck around so long…their pizza is absolute garbage, they take forever to deliver, and are no cheaper than pizza hut, papa johns or any other chain.
i hate dominos more than i hate michigan football.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Perhaps it was the noid who should have avoided me.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Domino’s sucks. Roethlisberger sucks. Diora Baird… we can hope.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:40 PM
open up Paint and “ctrl+V†and save as a .jpg. you’ve now got yourself a .jpg from Excel, my friend.
the things you learn on blogs! and to think I used to come here to read and make stupid comments.
next quiz: how do you make a smiley face in a comment?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Dominos thin crust is the best. closest i can get to Imo’s pizza
May 27th, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Fuck the Bread Bowl.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:40 PM
im thinking they split it between that category and the “only successful because my defense covers up the mistakes i make in the first 3 quarters before getting lucky in the 4th” category.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:41 PM
I haven’t played Madden since the 360 came out. Have they ever come out with adjustable ratings during the season? I always thought that should happen.
For example, Tony Romo should be a 95 in September and October, and an 18 in December.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:41 PM
I don’t like Dominos, but I prefer it over anything OSU.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Oh yeah. Excellent photo CRM.
This one from left field but…anyone tried the throwback Pepsi? Holy crap, it’s amazing. But I think I might have diabetes now.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:43 PM
the original is always the best
May 27th, 2009 at 3:44 PM

Cyrstal Clear is back?
May 27th, 2009 at 3:44 PM
this movie will be on the same level, or worse than, JCVD’s Street Fighter.
and they will still get my $8 so i could see all the vehicles and hope for the mobile command center to make an appearance.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:46 PM
May 27th, 2009 at 3:46 PM
dude…THAT bad? you gotta think that the CGI effects and lack of JCVD would make it better right off the bat.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:47 PM
I dunno about elsewhere, but here Dominos about 20% cheaper than Pizzahut and Papajohns and usually get it here 20 minutes faster. But that’s just in my neck of the woods.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Thank god I’m in a private office right now. And thank YOU, Roethishotdog for recommending this. I will say that the following photo does have a bush problem though.

Spence, i lost all optimism whem I saw that trailer, lost a bit more faith with the poster. If that’s cobra commander in the far right, it’s a damn shame.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:53 PM
especially here in jersey.

Since we are all for learning, how come I can’t see the avatars?
May 27th, 2009 at 4:17 PM
that’s kinda a good point. I never understood how subway can make a profit in New Orleans when Po’ Boy sandwiches are bigger, cheaper, and taste MUCH better.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:19 PM
@Mak- who ya got tonight?
May 27th, 2009 at 4:23 PM
spence, when will you give up the irrational hate of big ben? you’ll be so much happier once you let love into your heart. and by love into your heart, i mean brady quinn into your butt.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:31 PM
how is it irrational? i’ve explained my very valid thought process on big ben’s general overratedness quite clearly.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:34 PM
It seems like ‘melo is hurt or something, I’m going with the Lakers. I still think it’s going seven.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:40 PM
spence, i’ve never seen any stats on this, but I’m guessing that every sack Ben takes by holding the ball an extra second he avoids one and makes a play downfield. that line is an abortion.
if the Brownies had a QB that was half as good, you’d love him. I’m thinking that Pryor becomes that kind of player, which is why it kills me that Paterno let him leave the state.
May 27th, 2009 at 5:02 PM
spicious…i don’t wanna get into this all over again, but football outsiders or kc joyner at ESPN insider has some article on big ben and sacks…it’s not pretty.
and with such a shit OL, you’d think he’d wanna get the ball out faster. guess being retarded kinda hurts him in this dept.
