Tom Brady Looks Super Bowl-Ready
Baseball, Media Gossip/Musings, NBA, NFL, What the hell is wrong with people July 11th. 2009, 9:00am
With the exception, of course, of the pants-shorts hybrid. Must be something Gisele has imparted on him. As married people will attest, this happens (not necessarily that horrid choice).
Things you should care about this morning:
* Jonathan “Dirty” Sanchez of the Giants threw a no-hitter last night. It was the first for the franchise in 33 years.
* Now this you gotta read: From homeless to Harvard. Twelve schools in 12 years.
* Posnanski pushing for his guy Greinke to start the All-Star game.
* A closer look the ESPN vs. Yahoo battle on the NBA reporting front.
* How the hell do you not notice if your 2-year-old falls out of the car? Russians.
* Chicago sports fans will chuckle at this. On an unrelated sidenote, Chicago rules. It’s probably our 4th favorite city in the continental US after NY, Miami, and LA.
* Just don’t know what Portland’s doing going after Millsap. Aldridge is a stud PF. Want to play Aldridge at center? Great. Then Oden’s play suffers. For a team that needs a SF, why force a player that may not fit here? On the flip, maybe the franchise doesn’t see Oden in its future plans.
* Carmen Electra topless in Vegas? Hey, it’s the weekend.
* Michael Gilchrist, 16, is in the mold of T-Mac-’Melo-Rudy Gay, or so Seth Davis of SI claims. Unfortunately for the kid, William Wesley is involved (longtime friends of Gilchrist’s mother), so this means John Calipari will probably get first crack at him. Jay Wright and Villanova are the other leader, and we’d absolutely love it if he went the Wildcats.

I still think Buffy is a super lame show. But i’ve never seen 30 seconds of it. So I guess you shouldn’t take me seriously.
Holler on the Bob.

M.C. Hammer thinks those pants are ridiculous, as does Scotty from Boogie Nights wearing his imported Italian nylon outfit (“I’m a fuggin’ idiot. I’m a fuggin’ idiot. Fuggin’ idiot, fuggin’ idiot, fuggin’ idiot…”)
July 11th, 2009 at 9:33 AM
The Polish Hammer saysthe Magic are going to match Dallas’s offer. I hope for a sign and trade with Bass. I hope.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
Not a bad list, I’d go:
New Orleans (of course)
Chicago
Bay Area
New York (yes, New York)
Is there ever a point where you say to a woman, “we’ve seen ‘em. Put them away every once and a while?”
/She’s getting there
July 11th, 2009 at 9:43 AM
my wife would never tell me to wear pants that gay
July 11th, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Would be huge if the magic would keep him, but since when did that franchise become made of money. As best I can tell they are at the lux tax right now, and still need to sign 4 players just to get to 13.
And they are called capri pants, and they are so stupid even hot girls look retarded wearing them.
July 11th, 2009 at 9:50 AM
All shorts look like that on me.

I watched Man on Wire last night, very good. (No – not Man on Fire). Anybody else like it?
July 11th, 2009 at 10:01 AM
Who’s the dude?
July 11th, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Dude, New Orleans is a complete joke now. You obviously have not been there since 2005. Stay away. Just trust me, stay away. Why we continually try to rebuild a city that has no right being there baffles me.
July 11th, 2009 at 10:12 AM
I live an hour from there.
July 11th, 2009 at 10:17 AM
Ok. I live 50 blocks from Harlem, but I haven’t been there in, well, ever. I had the shittiest time in Orleans last year. Just nothing what it was ten years ago, IMO.
July 11th, 2009 at 10:39 AM
Which odds will be lower:
1. That he stays more than one year?
2. That his SAT score will be legitimate?
July 11th, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Where’s Bristol, CT?
July 11th, 2009 at 10:56 AM
Too bad Brady isn’t wearing a hat.

1 not illinois
2 not illinois in the winter
3 not illinois
4 not illinois in the humid ass sumer
5 not illinois
July 11th, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Can’t do a sign and trade with Bass and Gortat. Something about both being base-year compensation players. The Dallas paper seems pretty convinced the Magic won’t match the offer for Gortat, tho.
July 11th, 2009 at 11:31 AM
If San Francisco can get maybe 50 percent of what Barry Zito was with the A’s, they’re the next Wild Card team to reach the Series.

Five Favorite Cities
1) Austin
2) Lake Tahoe
3) DC
4) Houston
5) Orlando (I’m really reaching here)
/ Haven’t traveled much, lived in Austin all 22 years of my life, wondering if the world beyond Austin is worth seeing.

Las Vegas, NV
Marblehead, OH
Manhattan Beach, CA

July 11th, 2009 at 12:47 PM
i dont have very many cities that i could call my fave because i’m not a big city type of dude. but i have a list of place
1. ouray,colorado (just a beautiful postcard mountain town)
2. moab, utah (adventure capital of the world)
3. steeleville, missouri
4. san diego
5. bourbonnais, illinois (the location of the chicago bears training camp.)

I guess I should know that already. I don’t think they match either, and in fact I can’t see why they would. The story directly below that story at hoopsworld refutes it, using a DMN guy as a source, and all but claiming collusion between Donnie Nelson and Otis Smith.
July 11th, 2009 at 12:59 PM
I lived in the New Orleans area(actually Metairie, but bear with me) for two years, in 1993 and 1994. It was the absolute grossest place I’ve ever any amount of time. All there is to do there is get disgustingly drunk and get fat.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Someone needs to tell him he’s not going to it this year unless it’s as a spectator.
Yeegads, I’m one of the biggest homers on this site and I’ll readily admit Terre Haute is shitsville. And Bourbonnais is every bit as bad, if not worse.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:05 PM
LA over Chicago? That’s retarded.
Look who it’s coming from though
July 11th, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Agreed, that’s ridiculous. Unless it’s a beachside town like Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Venice during the day or the non-touristy section of Santa Monica, LA could easily be abducted and I doubt many non-industry people, non-Skid Row residents would care. San Diego kicks LA’s ass every day of the week and nine times on Saturday.
You have to admire his passion, I guess. IMO, both the Bears and Colts hold training camp in shit towns. Terre Haute smells like a sewer grate.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:14 PM
the reason why it is one of my favorite is because it is the home of the bears training camp(and also my grandma lives there) i dont want to move there or anything. but it is awesome to go to bears training camp.next time i will email diesel and bsanders before i put a list out like that so it conforms to what they think. i never said it was paradise. in closing diesel go fuck yourself you stupid douchebag

Your life would probably be better off. I think someone forgot to take their Flintstones multi-vitamin today.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Yeah many dudes are just plain slobs out of the house as opposed to in the house where I say it is okay, but I still can’t understand why some of these wives overdo this. What the heck is their issue? Someone married please explain this phenomenon?
And also why the resistance of some to match the bra with the panties whilst claiming “fashion sense” otherwise. The worst chicks are those who have worse fashion sense than the average dude, but the difference is that they don’t know the difference. Of course many are just plain ninnies.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Round? Up? Is that you?
July 11th, 2009 at 2:48 PM
One of my best friends now an officer in the USMC served there for three long years, and he echoed your comments. Based on his testimony, a history of rampant political corruption, and what I say with the whole Katrina mess at all levels, I decided I would NEVER visit and that the place was just lame overall. All the pumping post-Katrina did not help their case for sure, though I felt sorry for so many of the folks outside the Superdome who became subjects of a covert government mass-containment/imprisonment drill. Okay fuck New Orleans and that’s that.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:53 PM
Was Tom Brady wearing a hat? C’mon, I cant not know these things.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:54 PM
What shitty city lists except from Brock. I go like this for visiting only. Living there is a whole different matter.
1) Honolulu
2) San Diego
3) Las Vegas
4) Clearwater FL
5) Chicago Only From May Through October
July 11th, 2009 at 3:11 PM
That is awesome. You gotta do some traveling man.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Yeah really …amusement park and American cheese heaven I think …get around some more dude geez.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
I’d put Denver on any list that Paolo creates, simply for the fact that he hasnt been here.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:31 PM
awaits 5 paragraph response……
July 11th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Wrong, and more than once. Plain lame overall, but west of there in the mountains rocks in choice spots. I have a brother who lives there too.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:34 PM
But I do like INVESCO Field at Mile High
Great venue for games I say, and great cheerleaders too.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
5) Chicago Only From May Through October
hell yea. I gotta three day bachelor party in the windy city starting next wednesday. I love Chi Town, but the city is gonna be the death of me for three days
July 11th, 2009 at 3:39 PM
This is for Lance Briggs, from the Orlando Tourist Board.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Wait, Denver is lame, but Chicago is cool as hell? I have read your previous diatribes and you seem to be as useful for insight as Kramer from CNBC. I truly believe you just create sentences out of nowhere.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:46 PM
You must be new here
July 11th, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Maybe My Fave Five events I’ve done in US cities:
1. Chicago in summer driving in a convertible up LakeShore Drive past Navy Pier towards Lincoln Park blasting Blues Brothers “Sweet Home Chicago”
2. Boston in summer hanging out in Cambridge or the Commons, then heading to Fenway for a Saturday afternoon game
3. Miami in winter driving over the Causeway to South Beach and seeing the skyline on one side and Star Island on the other
4. Driving up the PCH from LA through Big Sur to Carmel/Monterey, and then playing Pebble Beach
5. Going to a Bills home opener in early September on a cloudless 78 degree Indian Summer day
July 11th, 2009 at 3:51 PM
You must be new here
+1 Diesel, and thanks for once.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:52 PM
vegas, san diego and san fran are high up on the list, IMO.

Went to San Fran for the first time in May, really liked it.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:57 PM
Fave Five
1. Key West – spring break, I wont touch florida now
2. OSU football games
3. San Francisco
4. Denver, seriously, the youngest, most educated, city in the world. With hot women (and dudes for Paolo).
5. Portland, Oregon
July 11th, 2009 at 3:59 PM
1. Florida Keys (bout 5 days in Marathon and 2 days in Key West)
2. San Diego, My god the tail in Pacific Beach in unreal
3. Chicago, Got family and friends out there, Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park is friendly and fun
4. Vegas, I like tits, gambling, and partying
5. Anywhere else its warm all year round
July 11th, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Everyone feel great about laughing now at this dude. Yeah with nearby University of Colorado in Boulder helping out with its number one per capita drug, yeah right really educated sure right …(cough, cough)
Not only did you prove you are as lame as your city without even needing a longer rant from me, you have shown the world now that you are yet another serious Colorado douchebag and proven my point as well.
And if you want to talk chicks, get to Vegas before homering your town loser. You want to talk dudes, I guess you better get back to your San Fran then quick no thanks.
Okay, discussion ended and may you go give yourself a HIGH HARD ONE again Mood.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:03 PM
+1.5 PL for your last two posts …have a great time in Chicago too! Perfect bachelor party town in the summer!
July 11th, 2009 at 4:08 PM
thanks dude
July 11th, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Paolo, do you look at stats, or do you just google a place and say you have been there? Have you ever left the library in vegas (not where you are from)?
You are really lame.

2. Telluride (Spring/Summer)
3. Lawrence
4. Steamboat Springs
5. Boulder
Obviously, I’m not a fan of big cities. When I travel I tend to travel for outdoors type stuff. Vegas and Chicago are fine cities to have fun in, but I tend to lean too much towards a cost/benefit analysis and get pissed when I get home and look at what I spent.
Least favorite city… Orlando. What a fucking hell hole.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Least favorite city… Orlando. What a fucking hell hole.
I haven’t spent much time in Orlando but have been there a few times to play in some soccer matches. I played there at the end of July for a 1pm match and i felt like i was in the fuckin amazon. 95 degrees that felt like 195, Nats and bugs everywhere, no breeze, and ungodly humid. It was truly hell for 90 minutes. Only other place that compares to it is Belle Glade, Florida which is actually worse.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:53 PM
PL -
It probably wansn’t Orlando’s fault (although it is nothing more than a gigantic strip mall that can’t be walked), but I was supposed to go to New Orleans for a conference. Katrina happened a couple months before and the conference was rescheduled to Orlando. I was so pissed. At least, I thought, Orlando will be warm and I will sit by the pool. 60 degrees and rain for five days. Hate. I would have probably committed suicide that week, but the room adjacent to me was a mini-conference room that was always left unlocked. It had a fridge mini-bar that I raided nightly. No clue why the door was unlocked or why they kept re-stocking the fridge each morning.
Flagstaff gets an honorable mention on my list. DC is always a fun time. I dig just walking around the museums.
July 11th, 2009 at 5:15 PM
KC, this was your best post ever. Great tale. Thanks.

I’ll give Flagstaff a holla! (was 23 at the time, driving cross-country… what a blast)
