Crawling Across the Finish Line to the Weekend
Golf, NFL, Video July 17th. 2009, 6:15pm
Finally, the weekend is here. On the docket: Eating, sleeping, more sleeping, and if we’re lucky, alcohol. [Late addition: View the much more NSFW video of Pacman up in da strip club.] Things not to do this weekend: Watch the British Open. With Tiger missing the cut, the ratings should be in line with whatever the MLS and NHL produce during the regular season.
Brace yourself for Mike Vick Monday, when he’s released from federal custody and a dozen teams move to acquire him. If his PR team has a clue, they’ll stage a presser for that later that afternoon where Vick says all the right things and apologizes no fewer than 237 times.
Blogging this weekend: Anyone who’s sober enough to get near the keyboard. If you happen to be in the vicinity of a computer, send us obscure links to stories we might be interested. Like the guy who sent us these Eva Mendes pics. Thanks.

guess that means we won’t see CRM
not trying to go Brad Pitt or George Clooney here, but Eva Mendes looks like she put on a few. They say rehab is the new “freshman 15″

Nothing on the EA tapes or did I already miss that?
July 17th, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Screw those people anyway. I’m tired of them hijacking my major tournament golf and forcing them to show all of Tiger’s shots live, even when he’s 8 strokes back. Maybe now we’ll get to see, learn about, and appreciate somebody else, until Monday when Skip Bayless tells America that the winner should have an asterisk by his name because Tiger and Phil weren’t there.
July 17th, 2009 at 6:54 PM
So I guess Federer >> Tiger in baseball.
/fact
July 17th, 2009 at 6:58 PM
i strongly believe that skip bayless should be beheaded by al qaeda

And Bob Ryan is horrible watching him on PTI.
No one has a bigger ‘old-man perspective’ than him. Sorry, JPG, it’s true.
July 17th, 2009 at 7:08 PM
can someone tell me why bill simmons thinks the lopez twins are funny? this isnt the first time he has said that
July 17th, 2009 at 7:14 PM
I think this was said earlier, but Pacman’s “rain” was a little underwhelming. Maybe I’m a little jaded, but I expected something much grander. Meh.

It’s OK. My “old man” perspective is correct, you just won’t know it for 15 years.
I’m not a fan of Ryan, Mariotti, Steven A or Lupica. Those are my main guys I don’t like. I think Bayless is good at what he does. He takes a contrarian point of view and gets people riled up, whether he believes it or not. Would ANYONE watch that show if he wasn’t on to debate and say some outlandish (many times correct) schtick?
He’s forced to take stupid topics like “Can the Yankees Survive Three Consecutive losses in June?” and make it somewhat interesting. That’s not easy.
July 17th, 2009 at 7:23 PM
Skip Bayless is definitely a polarizing figure.
Lots of people hate him because they disagree with his outlandish points of view.
I dislike him because he gets paid to be a dick who doesn’t believe a word of what he says. What a Country!

I like a little body clappin’ from my woman, JPQ. Better than being afraid of breaking her.
/started drinking at 5 central
//gonna be a good night
July 17th, 2009 at 7:28 PM
I’ve hated Skip since his time in Chicago, but his brother has a pretty good restaurant.

SC: I agree 100%. That bobble-head look is the worst. I’m just saying that the last time I saw her, she looked a little different

Just drove to upstate new york. Insert swinging spiked wrecking ball here.

Syracuse. Doing car bombs with Boeheim right now.

that erin andrews tape is just fucking creepy
girl is hot though..whether its her or not

ah, remember it well. My wife graduated from there. I met her there. Dreariest place in the US in terms of least amount of sun every year). Very cheery. Go back in January for a real fun trip
If you want to continue your tour of urban blight, I might suggest continuing on the Thruway to Buffalo. While it is a better city to live in, it is coming perilously close to being completely vacant in the city itself.

Doing pucker shots with Devendorf right now.

//just kidding, he seems like a pretty cool guy when he’s not preening around the court
July 17th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
I probably have done another mind inhibiting substance to go see Harry Potter right? Am I gonna be the only hammered guy in the theater?
@JPQ – Thank God someone agrees. Rather be with a woman who orders a steak than a salad.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:03 PM
There should be a “should” in that sentence. See comment #11 for excuse.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:07 PM
there is a “might be ea ” sex video floating around the webs and none of you dickheads though enough of me to seend me a link via email before it gets taken off? i might have to reevaluate my closest fake internet friends list.

@mrejr – Here’s a tissue. NSFW.

Did anyone else know a “V” remake is coming on ABC?
July 17th, 2009 at 8:49 PM
They are funny to me because they talk really slow and deep. Kinda like a retarded, white Shaq.
Yes but only because Elizabeth Mitchell, aka Juliet, from LOST is going to be in it.
What’s up with this EA tape?
July 17th, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Also, this talk about PTI got a big rise out of Ochocinco on TWitter. today.
July 17th, 2009 at 9:07 PM
eh. ochocinco better put up more than 540 fuckin yards this year
July 17th, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I think my favorite part, besides Nelly popping outta of nowhere, was how Jermaine Dupri was espousing proper strip club etiquette. Come on ladies you don’t stop dancing to pick up the money until the end of the song, that is such a Bush League/Gold Club move.
July 17th, 2009 at 9:34 PM
i just wish they would have showed them putting a step ladder next to the mic so jermaine could reach it.
July 17th, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Finally cornered a friend who’s been running his mouth all year on his golf game into a big match tomorrow morning. Trying to devise how many ways I can unload money off him without him catching on… nassau… closest to pin… three-putt train.. closest to pin after 3 on par fives… too much?

JPQ sheds a tear tonight, Walter Cronkite has passed.

July 17th, 2009 at 10:00 PM
ha. i read that on cnn and was like wtf. i thought he died years ago
July 17th, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Just watched the WWL highlights. What’s with Tiger slamming and throwing his clubs around like a little bitch? Karma’s a bitch Eldrick. Maybe spend a few hours on the range or take an iron off the tee next time. Don’t blame your driver a-hole.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Just got free beers after saying I was on the Underhills tab.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:08 PM
i said this before and i will say it again…if cronkite would have made thriller, his death would be a bigger deal. what was the cause? hang-gliding accident? mountain lion attack? Noodling mishap?
/because he was so young and vibrant
July 17th, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Just so I’m not lumped into the debauchery. I’m flying most of the weekend, so I will be a sparse contributor at best.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:11 PM
JPQ – Just passed a drop top full of ladies playing this. Memories?
If the link doesn’t work, it’s a Beach Boys song.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Underhills are laughing at the michelob ultras on their tab.. looking for the girl who snaked them

my undisciplined cat. the bitch just tried to use the bathroom on the fucking carpet and if i had any accuracy she would have had a dvd remote on her fucking forehead

hernia off to a good start – Irish Car bombs and Fletch references.
did the trick where you call Verizon and threaten to cancel cable because comcast is offering something better, so i should have hbo/cinemax coming free for 90 days. of course, i lost all the movie channels for 24 hrs.
settling for heavily edited 40 yo virgin.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:17 PM
hernia, you MUST jump in this wknd if Jerry Manuel get canned. getting blanked tonight in ATL … beltran out forever …
July 17th, 2009 at 10:27 PM
oh, and yes, i’ve seen the “erin andrews” thing 30 times.
initial thought: it’s a guy who started a porn site trying to get pub for it by putting shadowy images (you can’t see the face in the pics i’ve seen) of a popular web figure on a blog.
is there a clean shot of her face i haven’t seen?
July 17th, 2009 at 10:28 PM
texans, that’s hilarious. i despise cats.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Anybody make sense of the MGMT Kids video?
July 17th, 2009 at 10:33 PM
tbl, also watching 40 year old virgin. pissed..we’re all drunk, want to go see harry potter, no ride.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:40 PM
uh, can i take back that erin andrews statement? post coming …
July 17th, 2009 at 10:44 PM
If it’s real, then the internet might melt down.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:12 PM
link?….. Please.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Got like 10 e-mails. Is this thing real? There’s a lawsuit already according to ESPN counsel?
