O’Neal looked like a desperate old man. What led up to that was the normal jostling you see in the post of nearly every NBA game.

Dang, what a shame. She picked the wrong dude when she married that goober Kutcher.

I’m actually rooting for Sherman to get the job and succeed. He has been nothing but class since leaving aTm.

It’s funny that you’re calling Chelsea handler a washed up hag, because she’s I think 8 years younger than you. But she was probably has quadruple the mileage. She’s amazingly only 37 or something. she looks like she’s mid fifties and barely hanging on with surgeries, but she’s not even started down that road yet.

Probably the 2nd most significant injury in the NBA this season: Luol Deng has a torn ligament in his wrist, and may need surgery, which would end his season.
He’s a good, tough, competent player and a complimentary piece in that starting lineup. I’ve always liked his game. Initial reports of the injury intimated that surgery might not be necessary. Tough blow for the title contender.
January 25th, 2012 at 8:28 AM
Carla Gugino? Yes please.
Hot in the 90s. Hot in the 00s. Hot now. That’s some quality consistency.

I’m an episode behind on Justified, as it is good to save/savor, but I’m all caught up on Alcatraz. that show is silly, and it uses every cheap trick in the Lost playbook to try and ratchet up the drAma. And the starring chick has enormous cans, a bad haircut,,a round face and head, and the absolute worst wardrobe on TV. but huge boobs.

It’s things like this that make me wonder how calculated your comments really are and whether you just enjoy fucking with us for the sport of it. Please don’t answer this. We love the mystery of not knowing.

Ya know, jt, for once when a tussle like O’Neal-Howard takes place, I would love to see one guy or the other say “I’m not getting fined or ejected. Meet me outside post-game if you wanna square off”.
That would cut down a lot of the fake tough-guy posturing.

Tough blow for the title contender.
no. not until boozer and noah earn their keep, hamilton is healthy for the postseason and rose figures out how to score when lebron plays defense on him (unless the first three factors come through, then maybe bron isn;t on rose in crunch time)

Wish I wouldn’t have seen Chelsea Handler’s name in an FMK list. Depressing.

January 25th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
I like this review. I’ve watched the show so far and even though I know it isn’t great (and the main chick’s acting is terrible), I’m still enjoying it. The Lost-ish stuff is done without any subtlety and it will probably get cancelled before any of the mystery really plays out, but I think I’ll stick with it.
January 25th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
F Demi, M Heather and kill a slow yet violent death to Chelsea. Her new show on NBC is unwatchable when she is on screen. Give me more of the redhead/blonde from That 70′s Show. Sadly she plays Chelsea and the hag plays her own sister. I feel bad for her sister.

Vezina, Boozer and Noah have looked more active the last couple of games. And, all the Eastern contenders have flaws, whether injured players (Wade), distracted players (Howard) or “not quite there yet (Philly).
You make good points, and I look forward to seeing if the Bulls can solve those issues. In the moments when they do, they look like a solid bunch.

she is the whole package, imo, with what seems to be a fun personality as well. she is doing the age thing better than most, certainly better than demi. but gd, demi in her day was almost hard to watch she was so fine. thinking of the era when she made that millionaire flick with redford and harrelson

I saw the post last night but how come the Giants were quibbling with Timmy over $1M? He asked for $44M, then dropped it to $41M which was closer to the Giants submitted number of 40. Half a million bucks to argue over? They got it done but Sabean is a stingy bastard. Better hope he doesn’t do the same with Cain.

I normally don’t like hair that short, but I agree it works for her. I did enjoy the scenes of her running in her halter top-type shirt. The rest of the show I couldn’t stomach and won’t continue to watch. I don’t consider trying to be like Lost a good thing (no offense to the NDUB Lost crowd) and when I see Sam Neil looking that serious he better be on the Red October or dealing with escaped Raptors.

Yesterday’s was his post re: ebay ticket sales for JoePa’s memorial. He got all investigative journalisty and looked at the city where one auction originated and found a former PSU player who apparently lives there and attempted to out him, while hedging by saying he wasn’t really outing him. He then retracted it without comment.

Yeah….felt bad about that, but I’m not really one for deleting shit. If you say stupid things, at least own up to them. Still not watching the Super Bowl.
79 days….well, 72 until the actual opening day, but we play a week later.

January 25th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Where it was in those episodes, and even the first 90 percent of season one, is nowhere near where you could imagine it’d be right now. The show is firing on all cylinders and is acclaimed by critics. But Wyman and Pinkner produce/write for their specific audience, which is defined and hardcore, and not for a vast audience ala anything you see on CBS or most networks. So, ratings remain steady or decrease; never increase.

Slowly is good until he starts hanging his curve and slider.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
I’m sure it is, but even though it is different from the beginning I think it reflects what the show is all about. I’m not syaing the show was bad, just that it is not what I want to spend my time watching. My roommates are re-watching Lost on Netflix and want me to join them, but (again not saying it wasn’t good for the people who enjoy it) I cannot stand watching that show.
I could use another person rooting against ND, we will be vastly outnumbered.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
It’s very tough for me to decide who’s hotter – Anna Torv aka Olivia from Fringe or Sarah Jones aka Rebecca Madsen from Alcatraz. Torv is Australian and talks thusly when she’s not in character. Jones has a massive rack. Both are so attractive. At least Fox knows to make hot female leads.

Come on up for it. I’ll go to one of those games. Tickets for those games shouldn’t be too hard to come by. Especially the Thursday day game. I can just take the day off work.
I only have plans to buy Opening Day so far. If Diesel comes around, he and like 7 other guys invested in a season ticket package this year so I can always ask him who has the tickets for those days too.

If you can get past the porn stars / wack packers, and catch Howard with a good guest, he is one of the great interviewers of all time. Instead of heading to Sirius for the cash grab, he should have taken another career direction with some type of interview show. He wouldn’t have had any problem getting a show on HBO or other cable network, and it would have been great. Hell someone gave William Shatner a show for Christ Sakes.

January 25th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Agreed, where it started it was the kind of show you could jump in on any given week and not have to follow any plot lines, now you would be lost if you havent been watching. I like how every episode still has a fringe event, yet it relates overall to the storyline. Incredible show.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
OK, so ND vs. The U in Chicago at Wrigley?
I really fucking hate the Irish. I’m not sure I can even fork out money for a ticket knowing that some of my hard-earned green will go to that university.

Meh…I’ll just bring Spencer some weed and get him to convert to our side.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Exactly. It’s sad that the Fox big wig basically said they lose money on the show, and that it’s not survivable with those ratings in that timeslot. And it’s even sadder that Fox has to make a decision on it before Wyman/Pinkner have written the end of season four. Which means we could get a muddled ending to the series.
January 25th, 2012 at 9:51 AM

From the article:
Income inequality, while less pronounced than in the U.S., is rising. Most workers, including the Krugers, have seen little or no real wage gains in recent years. And the nation's population is declining.And now, with Europe on the ropes, Germany faces both a declining market for its exports and the prospect of having to cough up tens of billions of dollars more to help bail out profligate Eurozone neighbors.
