c’mon, Sparty, you know how we feel about “FBS” … similar to “Division I Football Championship Subdivision”

i just didn’t pick up on the sarcasm.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:11 AM
I was at Game 6 of the Vancouver/Chicago playoff series when Patrick Kane had a hat trick and the Blackhawks came back from a two goal deficit to win the game and the series. I thought it was crazy loud at that game but then last night happened. Most amazing game I’ve seen in my life!!!
October 13th, 2009 at 8:12 AM
By the way, that was the biggest comeback in Blackhawks franchise history. Pretty fucking epic.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:17 AM
very funny read.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Saw this last night – can’t recommend it enough.
Big fan – like the hooker-Asian girl as well.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:19 AM
So wait…draft well and your team succeeds? That’s what the Browns/Raiders/Rams have been doing wrong!
Oh and epic Blackhawks comeback.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:21 AM
Al Gore is puzzled by this

NSFW Susan Sarandon’s daughter as a stripper in Californication ..
Saw this last night – can’t recommend it enough.
do not watch the show, though. it’s putrid beyond belief. and there’s a kathleen turner sex scene, with all the grossness that entails.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:23 AM
now i know why albert belle threw the ball at her
October 13th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
especially Gore.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
Once again, I wholeheartedly disagree with Dirtheavy. Californication, while just a fluff piece, is an awesome show. There are actually consequences for shit that Hank Moody does as opposed to the real putrid piece of shit Entourage
October 13th, 2009 at 8:26 AM
What is odd is that the Giants have the best defense in the league, and yet not one first-rounder currently starting.
Skins, Cowboys, Bucs, KC, Oak… There’s your answer.

feces from Manatees closes a beach in Florida
disgusting. bad enough they close some beaches down here because of the red tide.
Ken Johnson > Fireman Ted
Congrats to Internet Superstar SportsHernia for his Sportsnation shout out
October 13th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
let’s ignore the great defense they have been playing since week 3 of 2007 season.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:30 AM
Most die-hard fan in the NFL? I’d have to seek out a link, but the Eagles honored some dude within the last couple of years whohad seen every game home and away since the 60s.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:33 AM
unless you only concentrate on one aspect of global warming (which is almost a misnomer) and totally ignore every other sign we’re destroying the planet.

No the most “super” but Barrel Man is serious about his fandom.

Isn’t that only true because Aaron Ross is hurt?
October 13th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
So I guess the ESPN crew spent most of the night slobbering the wrong QB, eh? Near puke moment, when either Gruden or Jaws lamented “We are watching Sanchez grow up before our very eyes…”
October 13th, 2009 at 8:42 AM
and kenny phillips.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:44 AM
@cracker jack: did you happen to listen to the SC recap of the game? made me ill just listening to it, sstill feeling queesy.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:45 AM
Oh heck no wilhelm, I know better than that.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:45 AM
How could I forget Kenny? My buddy went to Miami and on draft day that year we were in the press room before game 3 of the Hawks/Celtics series watching the draft and when Phillips got drafted we started cheering because it kept Miami’s first round streak alive.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:47 AM
ATL – that’s why it says “currently”
October 13th, 2009 at 8:51 AM
When you have two first round draft pick DBs out you’re going to replace them with guys who aren’t first rounders. What’s more amazing is that the Giants defensive line is so good they can survive with DBs they get off the street.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:53 AM
fuck the giants.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:55 AM
you want to like them. just guys like roman and me ruin it for you.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:57 AM
Californication, while just a fluff piece, is an awesome show. There are actually consequences for shit that Hank Moody does as opposed to the real putrid piece of shit Entourage
Then why isn’t he in jail for assaulting the cop from season two? Or in jail for bedding a 16 year old in season one? Or in jail for drug possession or use? Why does the “wife” continue to pine for him even after she left some other dude at the altar, and then he bangs bitches right in front of her?
That show is plain old narcissistic drivel from executive producer David Duchovny, who couldn’t find work except as Mulder. So he gets his own show and writes himself the perfect lech of a character, surrounded by sycophants. Then, he adds a whole bunch of gross out shit to make it a comedy.
It’s a stinkbomb, and your assertion is wrong.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:57 AM
As an Eagles fan, I’m obligated to trash the Giants whenever possible. However, every time I’ve watched them this year, I’ve found myself thinking they’re a damn good team and I like the way they play. Especially on D.
I still wish very bad things would happen to them but I can’t pretend they’re not looking awesome right now.
October 13th, 2009 at 8:58 AM
that’s extremely true.
from a football only standpoint, they’re one of my favorite 5 teams and everything rocks. then you and roman open your mouths and the only word i want to hear is “contraction.”
October 13th, 2009 at 9:01 AM
spencer- are you watching justin tuck? tell me he isn’t an animal. he’s top 5 at rushing the qb, right now.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:01 AM
My favorite part of watching a Giants game is when the cut to the bench to show backup offensive linemen, who never get to play, because that line is so good, and nobody ever gets hurt.
They’ve got this one fat guy over there, Boothe, and he’s got an absolutely enormous ass. It’s where he carries most of his weight, and it’s funny to look at, because he’s built like a guy who would sit the bench in a high school game, and he’s made it all the way to the NFL bench.
I hate the Giants, but I love the running game.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:02 AM
Roman calls him dimple ass.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:03 AM
I think I’ll take my next vacation in Humpty Doo, that’s one classy redhead.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:05 AM
do you really need me to say justin tuck is good? it’s plain as day, lawya. same with eli…he’s been fucking great this year.
but seriously, fuck the giants.

best Halloween carving we’ve seen this week
impressive
October 13th, 2009 at 9:09 AM
I don’t remember the cop scene incredibly well (I know what you’re talking about though), but my memory is that he just mouthed off a lot and got drilled in the balls, followed by a night in the clink. After that, he was bailed out by a record producer.
16 year old never said anything so he’s not in jail, but she did steal his book, first book he wrote in five years and has gone on to fame and fortune with it. He couldn’t fight for his book back because she held the jail over his head.
He never fucked another woman while with his “wife.” His wife told him she didn’t want to be with him in season 2 so he went back on the prowl. The “pining” is pretty typical for two people who love each other but may not necessarily like each other all that much.
As for the drug use…yeah, you’re right. The California penal system is well known to crack down on white people connected with Hollywood who are caught with marijuana. Besides never being caught with it, he wouldn NEVER go to jail in that state.
So…one legit consequence, two things that are accurate to real life, and one instance that would probably really get him probation at most in real life. Dirt, how old are you anyway? There have been two “gross” moments I can really think of and they both happened in season one (the puking during sex and the full facial Runkel got) and they were both funny.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:09 AM
political tues?
sorry, couldn’t help myself. anything to deflect away from you-know-what
October 13th, 2009 at 9:10 AM
Prime example of why DC is a horrible sport’s city: The Fox feed of the Skins’ game Sunday was f’d up (1st QTR) while sitting at a sports bar in DC. The bartender asks the crowd which game they want to replace the Skins’ on the projection screen and the result was an incredibly close vote between the Eagles and the Giants. This may not shock anyone being that both are NFC East teams, but if the bartender had used the “voting” system to determine the game on the projection screen to start the day, there’s no way the Skins would have won.
In short, no one living in DC is from DC. And the Skins sure as fuck aren’t drawing any new fans.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:11 AM
Quoted for it’s truthiness.
The Giants O-line is a thing of beauty.
I hope they all get the clap before Week 8.

damn. i think you’re right John. it is Ed. still rhymes with dead
October 13th, 2009 at 9:15 AM
There have been two “gross” moments I can really think of and they both happened in season one
Kathleen Turner is cast as a gross person, and her entire turn is based on her grossness as a female. Charlie Runkel is disgusting, and the sex scenes between him and that troll of a wife are rancid. The dialogue is written like grossout comedy dialogue, on purpose, as that’s the whole idea.
The whole show is David Duchovny worshipping himself, and you’re a fool if you think otherwise. The “acting” that that hideous daughter does makes me want to punch my dog. Between her horrible delivery and her bad “enlightened” dialogue, she couldn’t be more atrocious.
That said, I watch that shit all the time, while I’m waiting for more NFL game to record.

October 13th, 2009 at 9:25 AM
I can see the daughter thing. I disagree, but I see it. Actually, I can see disliking the show. I really enjoy the dialogue because it’s similar to stuff that my friends and I say when we’re hanging out. But my parents wouldn’t like it nor people of similar sensibilities.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:27 AM
That’s where I usually go. I stayed at home Sunday to watch President’s Cup instead.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:29 AM
good stuff ylefty. hey, big game this weekend for the Jackets. They better take care of business against Beamer. I’ll be rooting for G Tech
October 13th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
ah, yes, a lobbyist group that represents health care companies releases a study that shows health care costs will rise if there is reform to bring costs down. got it.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
I really enjoy the dialogue because it’s similar to stuff that my friends and I say when we’re hanging out.
Then you should probably know you sound like a bunch of pompous douchebags, trying to use Proust and pussy in the same sentence. Talking semantics and squirting like a bunch of bad boys.
But to each his own. And for the record, not liking this show isn’t what makes me old. Dozens of things make me old. This show sucks, without respect to my age. And that’s confirmed by most reviews, and its lousy ratings.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:39 AM
or this
October 13th, 2009 at 9:39 AM
That show, in the lexicon of youth, sucks dick.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
ah, of course. the political hacks that know whats best for me shoot down any study/report that raises issues with their ram rod attempt to cure what ills me.
news flash for anyone that thinks there is a shot of this going through as currently constructed. the ins. lobby is going to murder/slay/dis-member/set fire to anything deemed as a threat to the status quo.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:53 AM
you gotta take any study released by a biased group with a grain of salt. it’s like watching a michael moore documentary, or any documentary for that matter, becuase even though it’s a presentation of facts, it’s presented in a self serving way.
October 13th, 2009 at 9:54 AM
Thanks for the support. I’m heading down for the game. Should be a good one.

i know a guy who has been to every Auburn game since 1985. this past weekend here in Fayetteville was #296 in a row. pretty damn impressive.
October 13th, 2009 at 10:14 AM
totally agree. this is just a symbol of what the ins. biz. a monster not to be f’d with. ask clinton. i think its absurd for anyone to think that this is going to happen.
some limitations and controls are going to get through but a true over haul and revamp is out of the question. this “study” is just the initial shot from a massive lobby.
October 13th, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Haha. Clearly. The funny thing is, I’m pretty sure, based off your comments generally, you and I would actually get along in person…and/or not talking about Californication.
October 13th, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Damn right. This is why he’s the Godfather. If you are amongst that pack of jerks who still don’t like it when I or anyone points that out, GO GET ANOTHER HIGH HARD ONE.
October 13th, 2009 at 11:22 AM
From the map in this article, certainly the country is being seriously hilljacked and rednecked more as we comment, but at least PA,OH,NY, and NJ will have far less influence in “national” affairs including in the “free” media.

dirt: I just got back from the store. I am sending a case of whoop-ass to the compound for your Californication diatribes. Could not agree more, and not nearly as well. You nailed it.
That series went from Season 1 being pretty cool to not having seen an image on my TV since when Dudoucheny, his old wife and that retarded kid drove off in the car after leaving the old wife’s wedding to the Cali scenster at the end of Season whatever (2?)

October 13th, 2009 at 12:03 PM
TBL Godfather beware actual political hacks showing up here. I’ve pointed one out to you before, and he is beyond livid.
From exetensive experience living in Metro DC 7.5 years, most voices from Metro DC who hide beyond “Virginia” or “Maryland” when online, lest from Baltimore, are not to be trusted.
They are all backstabbers running for office but not on the ballot by nature and conditioning to make it in that police state sorry ass place that lectures hypocritically to all nationally about what is right yet cheer still to this day for a team known as redskins.
October 13th, 2009 at 12:04 PM
So wait…draft well and your team succeeds? That’s what the Browns/Raiders/Rams have been doing wrong!
As a life long Raiders fan that is only part of what they have been doing wrong for the past eight years.
October 13th, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Thanks JPQ. I also sent in that Thurman Thomas story. We bombarded the guy with too many links again, I guess.
yeah, I sent in about 6 last night. The one about the loyal Bills fan made the cut. We should pool our cutting room floors and create a PM round-up w/ the leftovers-lol

Do you think instead if it were a stolen shitty statue of Mark Sanchez, Terrell Pryor, Tate Forcier, or Vince Young that it would have made the roundup?
Will the statue of Brett Favre to be dedicated to Lambeau Field years from now be stolen too?
How about a lifesize nude wax figure of Lisa Guerrero?

October 13th, 2009 at 1:46 PM
actually, just the opposite. 3-0 the week after the michigan game in the dantonio regime. i think it is 10-8 in october/november under dantonio, while it was 4-14 the previous 2 years. so the improvement is there.
