Stanley Cup, NBA Finals, Belmont, French Open, Oh My!
Horse Racing, NBA, NHL, Tennis June 5th. 2009, 5:30pm
Before we get into the weekend haps, two items: TBL alum Lee Diekemper’s blog is stirring the pot Tampa, and porn star/gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey appears to be spending time with another athlete, assuming that really is Melky Cabrera (we use “appear” because we’re not sure if a wiry dude wth a bird chest like that can actually be baseball player). Other mildly interesting late Friday thoughts: The NCAA wants bank statements from Renardo Sidney’s family, a humorous look at the sad 1994 NBA draft, and BYU signed an impact football recruit.
Driving the TBL train this weekend: Bearded and boozy MMA lover, Cousins of Ron Mexico. Pepper him with your thoughts, links, opinions (surely you will have some after seeing The Hangover) and observations.
Saturday:
9 am – French Open Women’s final
6:27 pm – Belmont Stakes
8 pm – Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5
Sunday:
9 am – French Open Men’s final
1:07 pm – Roy Halladay pitches against KC.

When does college football start?
June 5th, 2009 at 5:39 PM
Among the factors helping sway Heaps to BYU is religion — he is Mormon — though Taylor said he didn’t think that was the deciding factor.
Riiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttt
Heaps, regarded as the top prospect in the state and among the best in the nation, made the announcement in front of a raucous audience at a sports bar in Salt Lake City
What exactly are you allowed to serve at a sports bar in Salt Lake City?
June 5th, 2009 at 5:44 PM
Going to see Hangover tonight. Probably see Up this weekend too. And get trashed for the Stanley cup Final (no s) tomorrow. Woo.
But for now, it’s back to my Tranmere Rovers dynasty on FM

They’re drinking the Jake Heaps Kool-Aid in Salt Lake City
/literally

I didn’t even know who Renardo Sidney was. Who isn’t taking money in college sports?
June 5th, 2009 at 5:52 PM

i feel like I broke several federal laws clicking on and reading that link
June 5th, 2009 at 5:56 PM
fetch some things are better left un-linked. wow
June 5th, 2009 at 5:56 PM
It’s even more disturbing that the whole family was home when it happened.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:57 PM
@fetch – I saw that yesterday. Seriously…what the hell is wrong with people?
Here’s where I saw it. Just My Way News. SFW.
June 5th, 2009 at 6:04 PM
It’s too bad this isn’t set up for Greinke – Halladay showdown.
June 5th, 2009 at 6:29 PM
fetch: WOW
So we now know that Melky definitely has a thing for fat ugly blonde sluts

@mole: That’s their schtick. Every post is “of the day.”
June 5th, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Can’t wait for the soup du jour of the day.

For UW the 2009 season is already over.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Well I’d say that reinstates my faith of humanity, then I remember what the post was about.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:24 PM
are counties so hard up for cash, they’ll resort to this?
jerks
June 5th, 2009 at 7:26 PM
i thought all of our problems would cease to exist when obama got elected…thats what it said on the radio and tv anyway
June 5th, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Just like the lottery, it’s a tax on the stupid.
That being said, I’m fucked when I travel long distances if this happens.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Didn’t anyone notice that Romo and Simpson are both wearing hats?
June 5th, 2009 at 7:38 PM
wonder how long it is before the cowboy blows the $88 million powerball lottery (was $232 mil, but he took the lump sum, which was $118 mil, and then they yank taxes, thus 88)?
after investing it wisely so i never have to work again, and throwing some $ at friends and family … first four purchases are purely selfish, but oh well:
1) this range rover
2) beach house in either miami, a beach in LA, Dewey Beach, a nice part of the jersey shore
3) this porsche (minus the fin)
4) 2-bedroom penthouse in NYC with great views
June 5th, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Those cameras are everywhere in Phoenix and people just don’t speed anymore. The problem is now they’re going to flash people with expired plates and people who are texting while driving. They’re becoming more invasive.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:53 PM
June 5th, 2009 at 7:56 PM
i would start a website called the big league jerk and pay jason mcintyre and hef handsomely to entertain me with posts about hats and whoever is hef’s favorite team this week.
/piss poor imagination’d
June 5th, 2009 at 8:06 PM
My 1st purchase would be BMW 7 series, with black on black rims.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:11 PM

jerks
I got a ticket because of speed cameras driving in Toronto (QEW) almost 20 years ago
/but they have free health care!
June 5th, 2009 at 8:12 PM
mrejr: I thought you were younger than me? Guess I was wrong
June 5th, 2009 at 8:13 PM
my first purchase would be about 200 acres of land in the middle of no where and then i would build me a personal grocery store and clothing store that is stocked every month with my favorite foods and clothes so i wouldnt have to interact with the outside world(i cant stand people)if i dont want to. and then i would buy me a gigantic tv and multiple vehicles. along with a ps3 with every game made and xbox 360 with every game made.

For what it’s worth, KSK ran a story on that Bears tattoo guy months ago.

I thought Marlon Brando was dead.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:17 PM
jpq did that guy have the born on date: before the beginning of time? because really that is the only way he is older than you.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Bears Tattoo Guy is the Alpha and Omega
June 5th, 2009 at 8:18 PM

Almost Famous: Tiny Dancer scene!!
June 5th, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Vaguely reminiscent of the story Brodie tells on the game show in Mallrats, no?
June 5th, 2009 at 9:56 PM

It should perhaps be some site rule that when a porn star is referenced, the post must include at least one vetted NSFW (as in no sign-up BS and really free) link of her in action.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:04 AM
+1 Brock
Yeah those damn people for real Mrejr/Brock; too many douchebags wherever I have lived whom I have to see when I go to the grocery store too.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:19 AM
Hangover was good.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:01 AM
Land of the Lost was not good.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:06 AM
One of the funniest movies I’ve seen in years.
I’m a huge Galifinakis fan though.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:30 AM
jpq, i know ur not around but, that is so cool. thanks. I’ll say it again tomorrow when i watch it all again for the fourth time. Yes, Young is the best song on the dvd.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
+1…fucking awesome. my hippie dad has made me watch that at least 20 times.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:32 AM
I woke up and watched it again. I mean I love music but watching that movie just blows my mind for some reason.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:33 AM
I forgot to add, I wish I was around for the 70’s and 80’s to see/listen to all the music then. That would be the tits.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:36 AM
Spencer, besides you dad being fucking awesome, I’ve wonder since your the golf guy around here, what clubs do you use?
June 6th, 2009 at 9:38 AM
How does Safina get to play with the women in tennis? She is a DOOD.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:40 AM
driver: ping g10 with a rombax shaft
3w: sonartec ss3.5 with a ust proforce shaft
hybrid: cleveland halo 1i
irons: nike pro combo tour with project x 6.0 shafts

June 6th, 2009 at 9:46 AM
Shit, I didn’t expect all that but obviously you’d hate golfing with me. i get three mulligans per hole.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:49 AM
yea, golf is an addiction.
and i always have a good time out there…despite having no patience anywhere else, on the course, it’s all good. you’d probably hate golfing with me more because i wouldn’t shut up about ohio state.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:03 AM
wierd as it sounds, I dont hate osu THAT much. UofM and PSU take the cake for me
June 6th, 2009 at 10:24 AM
The Battle of the Ugliest Trophy Ever gets your blood pumping?
June 6th, 2009 at 10:24 AM
Note the date: 6/6/09 as the first time these words were ever uttered.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Spence, are those pro combos forged or cast? I’m currently playing with Titleist 690 CBs that I’ve had for a while, but I’m seriously considering upgrading to these. Once you go forged, you never go back.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:03 AM
the school and people there piss me off.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
lefty…they’re forged.
the titleist 690’s are solid, as my avatar suggests, im a fan of pretty much anything titleist. the ZB’s are fucking awesome…im probably upgrading irons next spring and am thinking about making the jump to the full-blades set.
forged irons, when you hit them pure, are unbeatable. mizuno’s feel like butter when you hit em on the screws…but ive played some cast irons that were pretty solid too. the new taylor made tour preferred and the ping s57’s are both cast but feel awesome and are workable.
but forged is still where it’s at.
