So will Sidney Crosby.

I thought they already made Who’s Your Caddie into a movie?
Me too. That Pack team was way better. None of the unbeaten teams left could’ve beaten the mid-90’s Cowboys, Niners and Packers, all masters of salary cap manipulation.

He’s not getting charged for it either…DA said there wasn’t enough evidence. Sucks to be a woman and a victim of violence in LA, because your attacker never gets punished…

Wish I’d have sent this into the Roundup, here’s a nice breakdown of how the NFL’s “shitty six” are sending passer ratings into the stratosphere.

She’ll get a reality show about it. Or at least a Lifetime movie starring Diane Lane and Hank Azaria.

October 28th, 2009 at 8:17 AM
seriously. the packers wide receivers on that team were Robert Brooks (who was on his way to being one of the very best prior to his injury) Antonio Freeman, Andre Rison and Don Beebe. Oh yeah, and Keith Jackson too. and defensively it is not even close. Favre is such an angry asshole.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:19 AM
She’ll get a reality show about it. Or at least a Lifetime movie starring Diane Lane and Hank Azaria.
She’s already benefitted from it. Hundreds of thousands of people have now looked at her ass. Prior to this, she was having to show her ass one person at a time. Now she’s on the D List, or whatever comes below the D List.
I’m surprised Sanders is still conscious after that one exotic sexy devil. That chick made my morning.

They also had Desmond Howard and a up-and-coming Mark Chmura.
But hey, Sidney Rice and Greg Lewis are better than that.

who knew Brian Giles and Joe Francis were friends?
I missed PTI yesterday. Did Simmons really pick Orlando or is my friend fucking with me?
October 28th, 2009 at 8:28 AM
The bad news is, if the Jets win with Leon out, his value plummets. Based on the schedule, it could happen.
wait, you think the jets could win out? the new york jets?
October 28th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
Irish, he was all fired up about VC, because he watched a pre-season game and thought Vince was playing hard. He switched his pick on the spot.
He’s still got San Antonio winning, just beating Orlando in the finals.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:30 AM
Simmons picked Orlando-Spurs on PTI. but he said it was different than his espn.com pick, which might have been lakers-celtics.
Irish – he must have seen my orlando-spurs pick. obviously
October 28th, 2009 at 8:30 AM
He did, but he switches like every week.
I think he just means win more than they lose. At least I hope…
October 28th, 2009 at 8:31 AM
true, called jameer top 5 pg
October 28th, 2009 at 8:32 AM
he did. but he also hinted that he thought Durant could have a better career than LeBron. Somehow compared LeBron leaving Cleveland to Gretzky leaving Edmonton. Of course, Wayne already had a bunch of rings, but whatever.

Where’s Ball’n?
/Old timey joke’d.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:35 AM
that’s right! he did call Nelson a top 5 point guard.
how he came to that conclusion, i’ll never know. hell, that could be a post for later
October 28th, 2009 at 8:36 AM
That’s not what he meant – he was comparing LeBron’s career to date to Wayne’s era with the Kings in LA (not Edmonton). Essentially, he said the supporting cast in both cases sucked and Gretzky’s stint there ended up less than memorable.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:36 AM
Not really, he compared it to Gretzky on the Kings and how lebrons career could playout like that, never really mentioned edmonton.

It seemed like Wilbon was kinda knobbing him a little bit. Wouldn’t be surprised if ESPN said, “hey, this guy’s got a book coming out that we’re pushing like butt plugs, just nod and agree and make him look good.”
October 28th, 2009 at 8:39 AM
Things so obvious don’t need to be stated.
If Nelson plays how he played last year pre injury he is top 5.

Simmons picked Orlando-Spurs on PTI. but he said it was different than his espn.com pick, which might have been lakers-celtics.
His original pick was Spurs-Celtics. He changed his mind on the Celtics. And he looked and acted either tired or completely hung over.

Exactly.
He also said that if LeBron ended up with the Clippers, he’d have a better supporting cast.

“There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful — and I’ve never felt such energy,” Agassi says.
“I’m seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds.”

Good read regarding Letterman. I recently interviewed with a guy who has a reputation for sleeping with his female staffers. Lots of eye candy there, but it felt creepy and I never bothered to schedule a follow up meeting.

tobacco will embrace marijuana as soon as it’s legal, it’s their future. i’ll bet each and every tobacco company is quietly working their lobbyists to ensure the primary source of marijuana will be a regulted source, like a tobacco company, so they will be ready when those dominoes fall in the next 5-8 years.

Talking, hoping, praying. Always fantasized about going to the store to buy a pack of joints. Wonder if the price will go down. Tobacco companies as well as alcohol companies should jump on it and pull for it.

that’d be cool and everything, but if the quality suffers, fuck that.
the biggest issue is with textile and paper companies. hemp is cheaper, more renewable and a MUCH more quality product. they’d be fucked. the environment would be better off and we’d have more efficient ways of manufacturing clothing, paper, etc, but god forbid some fat cats get their fancy feast cut off.

can you get a DUI on weed?
October 28th, 2009 at 9:36 AM
because EVERYTHING suffers when it’s mass produced. i smoke the finest and i just flat out refuse to smoke anything of lesser quality. growing pot is an art and it deserves to be appreciated.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:37 AM
yes…DWI.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:37 AM
If they legalize it, they’d have to allow people to grow it themselves, but the individual would probably have to purchase a permit with a hefty fee and they cannot sell it without another permit, like a liquor license and it would have to be a place of business, not out of the home.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:39 AM
of course. there’s nothing wrong with coffee shops, ala amsterdam.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:39 AM
folks the government is way too big to ever allow weed to be legalized. we work for them and they tell us what to do instead of the other way..like its supposed to be.
i dont know how that ties into legalization but i just dont see a government like that throwing us a bone

DUAI
October 28th, 2009 at 9:41 AM
you in cali or another pot-friendly state?
Yes, SoCal. In Brea. Just about where Orange, L.A., Riverside and San Bernardino Counties intersect.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:43 AM
and this is why it’ll stay illegal despite state govt’s best efforts.
think of all the jobs tied into weed…you’d have to fire cops who arrest non-violent weed dealers/users. you’d have to fire prison guards who watch these non-violent criminals. mr. privatized prison contractor would lose TONS of cash because of less prisoners.
then you’d have less judges who wouldn’t see cases regarding marijuana. you wouldn’t have lawyers needed to defend them.
it really sucks, and it’s downright hypocritical considering weed is 1,000x better for you than alcohol, but weed’s illegal for a reason. not because of the plant, but because too many people are making money off of it being illegal.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:44 AM
@Texansfan: it’s a state issue right now, not a federal, so the size of gov’t in washington has no impact on it right now.

October 28th, 2009 at 9:50 AM
Anyone see the movie “Super High Me”? It’s been on G4. It’s like “Super Size Me”, but with weed. Starring Doug Benson, the comedian. The federal govt. would have to look at making it legal if the states do or they’ll just try and arrest law abiding citizens like they do now at the clinics. And has anyone ever been inside one of the medical marijuana clinics? Its better than Willie Wonkas fucking chocolate factory in those places!
October 28th, 2009 at 9:50 AM
that’s wrong.
if it’s a state issue, tell that to all the LEGAL dispensaries in cali that get busted by federal agents. the state can choose to allow it, but if the federal govt wants to come in and bust the place, then as long as that state’s still part of the union, they have jurisdiction.
BallzDeep…hey, ive donated to NORML. im an avid user and strongly believe it should be legalized. unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that the only green the govt cares about is money and too many people with too much pull would stand to loose too mcuh. it’s the pocket lining of a few that’s keeping it away from the masses.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:50 AM
that’s being a bit dramatic. look at it this way, you’ll have more police and manhours working to stop more important crimes. if there is legalization, there will still be illegal aspects of marijuana. maybe possession under 21 is still illegal, selling w/o a permit is illegal, etc.
be honest, if it’s legalized, it’s not going from 100% illegal to 100% free for all overnight.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:52 AM
The Govenator is wasting money building a stadium to get a NFL team in LA. Where is he getting the money. Weed.
The stadium will be privately funded. This state never passes bills to pay for stadiums.

I see your point. Were you one of the people I was having the Jerry Rice/Joe Montana conversation with? I see your gravitar.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:54 AM
seriously? you honestly think that governments from local to national levels wouldn’t cut back if they’re not going after non-violent weed users/dealers? you think jails would stay the same size with the same level of staff if there’s less than half the inmates?
those instances you mentioned are pretty tame.
and what about the $700 million annually spent trying to stop weeed trafficking? not drug, just weed. if there’s no need to import it or worry about selling it illegally, that’s a lot of money that’s spent elsewhere, and those people who get that money as part of their paycheck suddenly lose it.
of course not.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
ballzdeep…not really sure. don’t remember.
probably because i smoke too much pot.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
Just curious. Don’t wanna continue the debate or anything.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:56 AM
what i dont understand is why they are going after the raiders, 49ers and chargers. the state is in deep shit and any of those 3 cities will lose jobs if they relocate to san diego. if you entice another team from out of state to come, you add jobs and you gain money instead of taking it from one city and putting it into another. just my 2 cents.
October 28th, 2009 at 9:58 AM
relocate to LA not san diego
October 28th, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Whose talking about moving to San Diego? They’re not building a stadium. Actually, the Chargers are a candidate to move here.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:02 AM
thats why i corrected myself
October 28th, 2009 at 10:03 AM
so that $700 million is redirected to fight the importation of other drugs.
and yours are pretty extreme.
we’re talking about both ends of the spectrum, obviously. would there be a redcution in law enforcement? possibly, but people won’t stop committing crimes so there will still be a need for police, and judges, and jails, and bail bondsmen. will there be a spike in other offenders making up for the lack of marijuana users in jail, most likely we’d see an increase. people will still do meth, heroine, cocaine, etc, so funds and manpower will be diverted to stop those crimes instead of just letting the cops and funds disappear b/c weed is legalized.
have some hope man. i don’t even smoke, but i’m for legalization and it will happen at some point.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:07 AM

And this is what pisses me off. We get rid of state jobs, which reduces state taxes. Hence reducing the budget some more. I am not a big weed smoker, but the legalization of marijuana makes so much sense it pisses me off. There are no moral reasons for it being illegal. The reasons are simply selfish, greedy, and foolish.

and i see what you’re saying, but im still not entirely optimistic that a govt that ALREADY blows $700 mil on fighting weed (when you can get it pretty much anywhere if you know how to ask) will use that money well. the fact that it’s illegal in the first place proves to me that they have no intention of letting it off the hook…because honestly, any objective individual couldn’t make an argument that it’s more dangerous than booze.
but whatever. i live in a state that treats weed like it’s satan’s seed spreading into humanity. even if cali passes this, there’s no chance it becomes legal in ohio unless something miraculous happens.

Just asking, but does weed cause lung cancer and the other shit? So would the weed producers start getting the shit sued out of them the way Big Tobacco does? Maybe this is an obstacle?
/doesn’t do weed
//but not judging

no.
lung function isn’t really affected either. in the movie ballz deep referenced above, super high me, doug benson, an 18 year smoker, had only a 3% decrease in lung function, no sign of cancer, actually did better on his SAT test, had a higher sperm count…
basically…it’s not fantastic for you, by any means, but it’s still better for you than booze.

It’s many times better for anxiety and depression than the zombie inducing prescription drugs. There’s another lobby to fear.

its swell that the us economy is in the toilet, unemployment is sky high and we are fighting a global war against islam and the democrats are more focused on legalizing pot
October 28th, 2009 at 11:00 AM
What fixes all of these problems more than drug legalization?
October 28th, 2009 at 11:09 AM
Tax cuts, privatizing retirement accounts and increased defense spending.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:10 AM
you mean finding way to bring new tax revenue into the econonomy the republicans effed up with deregulation and to pay for the war the against terror (nice slip with the Islam, though)the republicans started?
/it’s not about democrats or republicans, it’s common sense. but if you want to go there (i’m not sure anyone really wants to) we can.

what’s the california state government going to do about a war in the middle east?
they’re trying to fix the economy…pot legalization and taxation would raise an estimated NET $1 billion for CALIFORNIA alone in ONE year. but yea…fuck pot legalization…that won’t help shit.
