This has me just dumbfounded. Just crazy.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:49 AM
the auto industry making a massive mistake? get out of town …
January 27th, 2010 at 8:51 AM
telling the story of a cop in Florida who was fired in the 90s for doing gay bondage porn
the cop did the gay bondage porn in the 90’s, but he was just fired for it in 2008. There’s a 15 year time lapse on the firing.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:52 AM
The Richard Jefferson acquisition hasn’t panned out. So the Suns may want Amare Stoudemire.
don’t the Suns already have Amare?
January 27th, 2010 at 8:52 AM
Spurs you mean.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:53 AM
What’s the statute of limitations on gay bondage porn, anyway?
/just wanted to see what that sentence looked like in print.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:53 AM
If they would just make cars properly and safely that people actually want to buy, maybe they’d be OK.
If they only knew how to run a company, this wouldn’t happen.
The death of the Japanese auto industry.
Screw all of the works in the dealerships, plants, suppiers, etc.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:54 AM
Workers, not works.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
The Karl Malone of Turkey? KMOT?
January 27th, 2010 at 8:55 AM
That’s my favorite Kerr pic yet.
Still no love for Melissa Satta, TBL?
January 27th, 2010 at 8:56 AM
That picture is amazing.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:56 AM
the article on the church picketing in front of twitter HQ is confusing as shit. not sure what their point is…
January 27th, 2010 at 8:56 AM
I’m with you on this man. It may be time for a sit-in or something.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
Anal sex was fine?
I’d be cut out of the will if found even riding in a Toyota.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:58 AM
Who’s doing the Devan Downey post today? Because I volunteer, seeing as how I have been singing his praises around these parts for 3 years.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:59 AM
I wonder what Playoff PAC wants with the Fiesta Bowl information. Isn’t the Fiesta Bowl the one that’s hosted the most coalition conference teams? Also, it seems that the contributions have to do with state elections, from what I gathered from the article.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:59 AM
The Cubs add Xavier Nady to their outfield.
Hate the Cubs, but that appears to be a good move (at first glance).
Joey Porter’s days in Miami appear over.
Washington going to the 3-4…
January 27th, 2010 at 9:00 AM
I…hate…people…
Also, Toyota is doing just fine. They’re still kicking out ass (they officially passed GM a while back). Just look for Kia to be the next big Automaker.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:00 AM
That was my first thought as well.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Isn’t Kia owned by Hyundai?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
haha I was just talking about Newsday last night. People will pay for the New York Times. NO ONE will pay 5 bucks a week to read the fucking LI paper online.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
Is Fat Albert going to sit the nose? Is Arapko going to play OLB, or get stuck over the tackle? I don’t see how arakpo fits in a 3-4 (at least not immediately in my head).
January 27th, 2010 at 9:02 AM
@Jersey – maybe if the Jets didn’t choke we could have used the SB party to introduce TBL to her…
January 27th, 2010 at 9:03 AM
I can’t wait for the end of April when girls 1/5th as hot as Kerr start wearing dress-shirts like that that definitely will give me a boner.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:04 AM
Ehh, that would have been all you, I would have been too busy stalking AUbre O’Day in the women’s bathroom.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:04 AM
Is Arapko going to play OLB
Just because ever sports commentator is an asshole and fucks his name up doesn’t mean you have to follow suit.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:05 AM
Kia went belly up a few years ago, and was purchased by Hyundai. Hyundai is apparently separating itself from Kia because the Hyundai brand is trying to be more upscale. However Kia is killing it sales wise. SO I guess yea, Hyundai will be the next big automaker haha.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:06 AM
Why do so many lesbians drive Subaru’s?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:06 AM
And Albert doesn’t want to play the nose (problem), but Orakpo was built for the 3-4 (may be our only current LB who is).
January 27th, 2010 at 9:06 AM
The one strange thing about my job is a couple of the females here have been rocking the skirt-tights-boots combination hard this winter. Lot of emphasis on staying in shape around here lately. Spring is going to get me fired for sure.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:06 AM
sorry Ill. I spelled it right the second time. I even sounded it out in my head both times. I just fucked it up the first time.
But he’s a rush DE, he’s not an OLB.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Just look for Hyundai/Kia to be the next big Automaker.
if it wasn’t for Hyundai’s 47,432,958 ads this baseball/basketball/football seasons, there would have been no network televised sports in 2009
/sounds like Sunday’d
January 27th, 2010 at 9:07 AM
figures.
Seriously, though: They’re asking for $260 a year to read about fucking Centereach fires and Central Islip gangs. Who the fuck even purchases Newsday anymore? 260 a year is almost twice as much as the Economist for a year.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:08 AM
Weren’t all of these models made at non-union factories?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:08 AM
Yeah, they are.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:09 AM
Re Kia:
They and Hyundai just put factories in the U.S. and they’ve stolen designers from Audi and Mercedes. Hyundai is pretty much following the early Toyota/Lexus model of making cars, and just doing it cheaper. Hyundai decided when they bought the company to go the Honda route of no crazy frills. Just make solid cars with things people want in them and don’t go overboard. Hyundai/Kia have pressed every right button during this downturn in the auto economy. I’m actually looking at Kia Forte Koup for my next car.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
haynesworth can play strongside end in a 3-4. it’s no different than the position he plays now, only he’d be going up against guards and tackles instaed of guards and centers.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
States will huge union numbers lead the nation in job creation. Just look at Ohio and Michigan.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
And Kia now has a North American manufacturing presence with their West Point, GA plant. That would seem to indicate that they (and/or their parent company) are doing ok.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
But he’s a rush DE, he’s not an OLB.
Isn’t that essentially what a OLB in the 3-4 does?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Did anybody else think this sentence was going to end differently?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Why do so many lesbians drive Subaru’s?
In the northeast, a whole bunch more people than lesbians drive Subarus. But all lesbians do. It seems to be part of their code.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
he played OLB for the skins, did he not? and he’s a perfect fit for a 3-4 DE.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
Nice read on Obama…
Newsday lost me when it horribly redesigned its web site. To top that off, the Dolans hired the person who spearheaded that disaster as the new EIC.
Did any of you know the newsstand price for Newsday is now $1? I had no clue and I live on LI.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:12 AM
haynesworth can play strongside end in a 3-4.
who plays nose? That’s the toughest position to fill when switching over.
Isn’t that essentially what a OLB in the 3-4 does?
not really, no. But most teams that run 3-4 have a 4-3 set they use on passing down. He has always played 4-3, so I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
I guess London Fletcher goes back in the garbage, again, where somebody else can pick him up, dust him off, and have him jump on piles for them.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:13 AM
@spencer – even on the outside he’s just a “space filler” though, right? He’s made it clear that he wants to get after the QB.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:13 AM
Don’t get me started on the Dolans, and I’m not even talking about how they run their sports franchises. The son is going to end up ruining the business, just watch. I can’t wait until fios comes to my neighborhood, fucking hate optimum/cablevision/whatever the fuck they call themselves with a passion.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:14 AM
The only question is…..brazilian?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
he played OLB for the skins, did he not? and he’s a perfect fit for a 3-4 DE.
I saw parts of a few Redskins games, and one entirely, but I remember him with his hand down as an edge rusher.
Jay or Ill can answer better than me obviously.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
Amare to the Spurs. Yes now I have seen it all. If anyone think that trade is possible I have some ocean front property I would like to sell you in Arizona
January 27th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
I guess London Fletcher goes back in the garbage, again, where somebody else can pick him up, dust him off, and have him jump on piles for them.
See… I have a hard time taking anything you say serious when you say something like this. Fletcher does MUCH MUCH more than jump on piles.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:16 AM
shaun rogers is available.
not necessarily. he can get after the QB from that spot.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Isn’t that was I said?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
Seriously? What an awful business model.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Casey Hampton will be a free agent (unless the Steelers sign/franchise him)
January 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Not only that…but he made the Pro Bowl reserve as a LB in his rookie season…I’d say he’s fine playing the position.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Jersey: I got a Hyundai Genesis 4.6 about 15 months ago. Best car I ever had. I test drove all the “big boys”, and got the same/in some ways better than some car for about $10-$20K less. Not one problem with the car at all, which is amazing considering it was a new model.
My wife has “badge envy”, so she was mortified when I told her what I was getting. Every time she takes my car, someone is looking at it or asking her if she likes it. Pisses her off (and I love it!)
January 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Easy there cha cha. Just providing some context.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
Supposedly, Shaun Rogers has been sited in Detroit a few times in the last couple weeks. Could be back with the Lions next year. Oh joy.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
See… I have a hard time taking anything you say serious when you say something like this. Fletcher does MUCH MUCH more than jump on piles.
i’m surprised you were ever taking me seriously. And that’s a linebacker wisecrack, to call them pile jumpers.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Along with the sarcasm button, they need to add a “not angry just saying” button to the web.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
I would jump on FIOS in a second if Verizon could get it rolled out faster. Unfortunately it costs so much to roll out that eventually the cable companies will just upgrade and blow FIOS out of the water.
Cable companies are the worst kind of monopoly, because it would cost them something like $50/customer to upgrade their lines to Japanese specs, whereas FIOS costs Verizon something lik 1k/customer to get installed. Fuck.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
The only question is…..brazilian?
YES!!!!!!!!
January 27th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
supposed to be another ice storm here starting tomorrow. i may go park outside the grocery store with a 12 pack and watch people buy up everything in the store in a paniced frenzy. good times.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:22 AM
He occasionaly played with his hand down, but a large majority of the time he was upright.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
yea, i wouldn’t want what would be the 2nd best player on your team, either.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:23 AM
the dude is a beast, no doubt. and he’s played motivated and hungry football here in cleveland…but he’s still too aggressive and not sound schematically…the defense improved against the run when he went out, which was kinda strange.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
London Fletcher is so underrated. I loved that guy when he was with the Bills
January 27th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
thanks for the education Ill, Jay and spence. I’ll know what’s going on when I watch the Skins fill in, and make offers to Hampton/Shaun Rogers.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
Some fuck almost t-boned me this morning. Although I avoided his wrath, I did spill my entire cup of coffee in my car and on my jacket. It was everything I could do to stop myself from getting out of my car and spiking my coffee mug of his windshield.
/whewww saaahh
January 27th, 2010 at 9:26 AM
ill…im right there with you. im going to kill the next person that tries to talk to me. all thanks to being behind a fucking school bus going under 15 mph for 3 fucking miles.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Very ironic because in the 80’s Hyundai’s had a reputation for being one of the worst brands and now their reputation is pretty high. My last 2 cars have been Hyundais. The only problem with them is that instead of GPS on their cars, they have satellite radio.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
This
and this
make me really glad that I don’t have to deal with Atlanta rush hour anymore. Or any rush hour, for that matter.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
JPQ: That’s awesome. My buddy got the genesis with the 6 cylinder and he says from the time he test drove it he knew that’s what he wanted. And he had the choice of some other pricier cars too. I took a ride in it and I loved it. I’m not a sedan guy but it definitely felt good. I love the genesis coupes. If I made a little more money I would have definitely got one when it came out.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:30 AM
ill and spence
Nothing is more rewarding and frustrating than road rage. Just once I would like to go completely batshit on someone for cutting me off/driving like a fucktard.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
People are so annoying. If someone sends you a contract and you decide not to sign it isn’t it common courtesy to let the person know instead of blowing them off? Especially if you contact them asking about it?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
Bunch of Johnny Dramas in here.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
@lefty – Don’t you live in Arlington? I-66 is a disaster.
I have this sign outside my cube that a co-worker gave me last year, it reads “look how nice I am not laughing at your dumbass.” I fucking hate the office environment.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:33 AM
This is a fair trade. GPS is for the effete.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
good call. I need some of that today already.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:35 AM
Jay V back in the mix!
Got any stories to tell?
/yes, he does
January 27th, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Could never see myself doing it. I would go office space in a matter of weeks.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:36 AM
Where all da dick at?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:36 AM
I agree with clown. I have a handheld Garmin GPS unit with the exact same mapping software as the car units (Nuvi’s, I think) and I use it WAY less than I use my XM radio.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:37 AM
Bus drivers are the worse. In NY they have van services for handicapped people so they can make a living and get to work since they can’t take normal public transportation. The guys who drive them are the worse. They just stop in the middle of traffic and block everyone. If they can just move up 5 feet and stop in front of a fire hydrant so everyone can pass they won’t.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:37 AM
I work in the District, and take the Metro to and from. Even if I drove, it wouldn’t be that bad. 50 to Memorial Bridge, and I’m in the District.

Ill- I was never a big Kerr fan until I saw these. Just perfect.
ALso, MD’s D looked great last night. They are hitting a tough road stretch but I will take 4-1 in the ACC right now.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:40 AM
Its stories like this that made me get a driver for my Maybach, at least for the days I dont take the helicopter to the office.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:40 AM
I couldn’t live without my XM radio. If I had to listen to fucking Lexington radio (besides the fine, fine Clear Channel programming) I’d probably off myself.

January 27th, 2010 at 9:40 AM
Great article in the Times this weekend along those lines. Guy never heard back from an interview and request for his portfolio. Emailed HR and told them he accepted the job and would be there monday. They got back to him…
January 27th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
Satellite radio is the best invention for vehicles EVER.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:41 AM
I’m with ya man. I’ve had mine since 06′, couldn’t imagine not having it.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:42 AM
JayV,
Did you buy Larry Bird lunch, or the other way around?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:42 AM
Well when I go and do a wedding on the weekend I am always going to the Hamptons in Long Island or Only God Knows Where New Jersey, so having a GPS is infinitely more useful to me than some stupid celebrity’s vanity radio station. I listen to the radio every time I drive, but that does not mean it’s more valuable than a GPS which I only use from time to time.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:42 AM
that’s just freaking awesome. I wish I had thought of that about 10 months ago.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
your maybach didnt come standard with one?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:43 AM
satalite radio is a godsend (right up there with directv). local yokel radio, for the most part, is dreadful beyond words.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:44 AM
I am kind of regretting not looking at a genesis last year. I bought german, and think i could have saved a little money for sounds like the same car. and everytime i see that hyundai, i think it is a benz.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Could you link that, seems awesome
January 27th, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Trying to find the link…great read. I can’t do it justice.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Jersey: Yeah, I got the bigger engine (only $2K), with the Tech package, which is unbelievable (17 speaker Lexicon stereo, GPS and XM (guess I’m effete-lol), handsfree integrated bluetooth through the speakers, 7.1 DVD video screen, yada, yada). I’m old, so I’m a sedan guy
Agree w/ Miz/others on XM. I’ve used GPS 4 times total in a little over a year, but my 12 month free XM just expired a month ago, and I’m lost. I want to switch to Sirius, but even though they merged, none of their shit is compatible, so I got a handheld Sirius radio, but have to have it installed, even though my car is completely set up with factory installed satellite. They have to get their act together.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:46 AM
ALso, MD’s D looked great last night. They are hitting a tough road stretch but I will take 4-1 in the ACC right now.
I think they’ll be fine. Dino and Jordan are playing well and Mosely is beasting. After watching Clemson the last couple games, Oliver Purnell should be killed. MD should pwn them. @FSU may be tough, but that’s not hard place to win at in the ACC.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:46 AM
cornholio – I prolly should have been more specific. I’d rather have the XM built in to the car than a GPS becuase I use the XM more while traveling. I prefer the GPS to be mobile for when I’m hiking, kayaking, etc. so having one built in to the vehicle would be a waste for me. GPS is awesome when traveling a lot. we’ve definitely gotten our money’s worth out of ours. the only problem with it now is the software is 2.5 years old so it doesn’t recognize newer roads that were under construction back when the mapping software was completed…gotta upgrade soon.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:47 AM
Nady won’t play much this year, at least not in a starting role. Byrd, Fukudome, and Soriano at this point are better than him and so he will probably just platoon out there mostly behind Fukudome. This isn’t that big of a signing to me.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:47 AM
That’s because “local” radio doesn’t exist anymore. So many stations are either GSG’s fine employer, or Citadel’s. Makes for homogenized, boring radio.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:47 AM
oden dong jokes are officially too easy. they will be awarded no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:48 AM
Another signing that I don’t fully understand is Thome to the Twins. They already have a lefty DH in Kubel.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:49 AM

@jpq: re: sirius/XM – all the channels are the same. I’ve got an Xm factory system in my car and when it became xm/sirius everything worked fine. All you have to do is sign up, or extend your service on the Xm website and you should be all set to go.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:52 AM
cornholio – you’re a wedding videographer, right? do you network with photographers for business much?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:52 AM

In the ACC? Absolutely. I can’t remember watching a poorer coached team.
You still down for the GT/MD game? I’m thinking of buying tickets over the next week or two.

clown: I wanted Stern and NFL radio, and when I called, they told me it wasn’t part of the best of Sirius add-on. Is that true, or did I get some dope who didn’t know what they were doing?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:53 AM
Umm, no. I’d take Purnell over Sidney Lowe, Paul Hewitt, and possibly Gaudio. Watching Hewitt’s teams on offense is like listening to someone scratch a chalk board.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:56 AM
Definitely. Shoot me an email: younglefthander [at] gmail.
Come on, really? Hewitt’s taken Tech to the championship game. Purnell hasn’t taken Clemson to the second round.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:57 AM

January 27th, 2010 at 9:58 AM
That Times blog was fucking awesome. Same thing happened to me when I interviewed with the Discovery Channel. I was brought in, told I did great and that they would let me know either way in the next few days. Nothing for a month. I called the people a few times, finally got ahold of one and he said they were still looking at candidates (which obviously told me that I was not getting the gig) but he said he would be in touch later that week. Never heard from him again. Fuckers.

Ill- I agree that they are playing well right now. Was at the last two games and they are playing very good right now. Probably have the deepest guard play in the ACC this season. I am worried that they are going to have trouble if Williams gets in foul trouble. He has been the key in the paint this season. I want to see some more of Padgett on the floor.

Hewitt’s had approx. 145125713613 more talent than Purnell’s ever had, and that championship run was a bit of a fluke. Since then, Hewitt’s done jack shit.
Hewitt’s a good recruiter, but his offensive philosophy is atrocious, and his in game decisions make Roy Williams look like a genius. Plus most of Clemson’s woes this year are due directly to Oglesby leaving unexpectedly. If they had a good shooter to keep defenses from collapsing on Booker, they’d be just fine right now.

same shit happened to me with these two jobs. One in Cleveland where I was a final candidate for a morning show producer and apparently the GM was just in a huge pile of shit in the hiring process. Interviewed twice, was shown the office, then I got Costanza’d and the dude went on vacation. Didnt hear back from him when he got back so I assumed he went another direction.
Another was for a promotions job in Dallas. I didnt really want that job either so I I didnt care enough to follow up.

guys: thanks. Can’t believe I listened to Gajawalli Srinivasin. I should have just asked on here like I just did. Better than a help line. I’m glad that Sirius crap is still sitting in the box uninstalled. It’ll be getting returned.

Not really. In my experience photographers do not like videographers because they think that you are getting in their way, which is BS because you have no idea how often a photographer stands 5 feet in front of the couple during the ceremony and ruins my shots. A lot of them also think that because they are the photographer that they are in charge of everything and won’t even let you do what you need to do. I did a wedding 3 months ago where the photographer would not let me use my light! So now when I start editing it I am going to have to spend 10X as much time time just to make it watchable.
Video also has a bad reputation in the wedding industry because so many people who do it are totally unqualified and produce video vomit, so they assume you are one of those people and look down on you. I have a degree in film and 10 years production experience, so I find that highly offensive when people act like that towards me.
Most of them are not like that, but enough are that you learn to just not bother dealing with them.

That’s different, I use mine for business purposes. If I didn;t have one I would of gotten lost and late to so many gigs it wouldn’t be funny.
our wedding DJ was an hour late, and I wanted to punch that bastard in the face.

Suuure, and that stripper really is doing it just to put herself through college.

Oglesby leaving unexpectedlya retarded defensive scheme. Besides, Clemson looks almost as unmotivated as Miami does 99% of the time.January 27th, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Just make sure that the radio you currently have in your car is capable of adding on Best of Sirius, because not all radios are.
January 27th, 2010 at 10:18 AM
The worst possible thing you can ever do is be late to a wedding you are working. I leave the house an extra hour and a half early so it does not happen. I sit there and do nothing, but it’s better than being even only 5 minutes late.

advertising–product placement valuation … had to watch certain shows to make sure their products were being utilized

I hate to sound jingoistic, but the quality of American designed and made cars, especially Ford, outstrips the Koreans. Just check the latest JD Power results. Seriously, if you don’t consider buying an American engineered and produced vehicle, you are making a mistake.

GYD: I get the “buy American” thing. Trust me. In Buffalo, they wouldn’t let you on the grounds at the plants in a “foreign” car. Never had non-US until I moved here 10 years ago.
As someone said earlier, Hyundais were a joke years ago, and I had never even been in one until I saw this show at Auto Shows in 11/08. After I got my car, it was selected at NA Car of the year (at Detroit Auto show), and won JD Power Best Midsize Premium Sedan, and won more awards than any other vehicle last year.
They are working hard to improve, and have, at least on this car, eqalled/surpassed many other manufacturers. This link is a real in-depth look at the car. Check it out.
/feel like a car salesman, but I LOVE this car
