Ilana Is Hot 18 Feb 2010 8:44 AM (15 years ago)
Oh, hi. If you know what that headline means, you must watch LOST. Well then I'll get right to it.Tuesday's episode was one of the best in a while. Locke episodes tend to be the best. I liked Jack episodes for the first two seasons, but unless the writers have something up their sleeves, the Jack and Kate episodes have lost relevance and stopped being compelling. The previous week's Kate-centric
We're Tryng To Get Back At It 14 Feb 2010 6:48 PM (15 years ago)
After a year-long hiatus, we'll see if the MHR outlet lasts more than a few days. Welcome back to us, I say.
The Super Bowl of Sunday Posts 14 Feb 2010 4:14 PM (15 years ago)
It's stupid that the Daytona 500 is referred to as "The Super Bowl of stock car racing." It takes place at the beginning of the season and requires no playoff to get in, really - okay, maybe qualifying counts, but that's a stretch. And don't you know youre competition has a long way to go when you have to make it analogous to a much more mainstream event in order that people recognize it's a big
New Post? 3 Jan 2010 9:45 AM (15 years ago)
Yeah, it's been awhile. I'm the only one who's going to read this. I've got a year's worth of vitriol stored up, buuuuuuut I think I'll just stick with a gripe at a time.What the fuck is this "NFL Nation Live" bullshit on ESPN.com? Stupid.
Did you hear when douches started asking, "What if Michael Phelps were black?" 4 Feb 2009 8:30 PM (16 years ago)
If you think people would be acting differently toward Michael Phelps after his recent dope smoking incident if he were black, you're a fucking retard.
What's with the yelling? 30 Jan 2009 1:51 PM (16 years ago)
It's worse than the fist pump. In yesterday's Australian Open semifinal, Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, was a screaming, self-congratulatory douche, making Rafael Nadal's post-point antics look tame. I think this is from Wimbledon, but it looked the same.It's the post-TD choreographed dance and arm up after a home run trot and soccer goal celebration all rolled into on. Stop yelling. Stop
MHR Super Predictions 30 Jan 2009 10:09 AM (16 years ago)
Really, don't we all hate predictions? Yes. You might not know it, but you hate them. If I'm way off on a prediction, I won't bring it up again. If I'm close, you're darn right you're going to hear about it. There's the Matthew Berry approach to predictions, in which a person guesses on about 1,ooo outcomes each week, then touts the three he got right when next week's column comes along.
News Flash: David Wells Is A Fat, Loudmouth, Turd 30 Jan 2009 7:26 AM (16 years ago)
Totally. He is the latest to chime in on the Joe Torre quotey looking things that aren't necessarily really things Torre said. You've probably read what Blowhardy McFatterson has said, so I'm not going to rehash it here. The point is this: David Wells is a nobody. Worse, a nobody who is somebody because he's loud. He was a good MLB pitcher, who got by on talent and the notoriety that
Suck At Your Job? 30 Jan 2009 6:55 AM (16 years ago)
Well, hell then, join ESPN. The WWL hired former Jets and Chiefs Head Coach Herm Edwards as a talking head this week after the coach was fired by Kansas City. On the day the news was released, the "story" was in ESPN's "HEADLINES" section. Now it can be found in the same section on the network's NFL page. Herm Edwards was well-known for his sound bites while coaching the Kansas City Chiefs and
Sean Hannity is anti-American 29 Jan 2009 5:46 PM (16 years ago)
I just watched five minutes of Sean Hannity's show in which it claimed:** Global warming has been EXPOSED as a myth by 650 climatologists (false, by the way)** The lingerie bowl should not have been cancelled because of sexism, because, you know, the men in the NFL wear tight pants Plus, he seemed to support his argument against Al Gore with a personal insult about Gore's weight. I'm not quite
LOST Episode 3 Take 29 Jan 2009 8:41 AM (16 years ago)
Desmond's son, Charlie is the Charlie. Put that in the bank - no refunds if I'm wrong though. My guess is the English cutie-pie holding a gun to Farraday is his mother, and perhaps, just maybe, Widmore is his father. That's a mind-fuck and a half - and is probably wronger than wrong -but might make sense seeing as how Widmore spent time financing Farrady's research into time travel. I like
Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go-Go-Go 28 Jan 2009 12:36 PM (16 years ago)
Interesting little stat from the back of Will Clark's baseball card:In 1987, Clark had 5 stolen bases... but he was caught a mind-boggling 17 times! Seriously, at what point did Roger Craig pull him aside and strangle him? And why hasn't Mike Krukow discussed this in a broadcast?
Sports News? 27 Jan 2009 6:47 PM (16 years ago)
It's so, I don't know, passe to bash the WWL, but come on. Lately ESPN has been going a bit overboard with the gossip-posing-as-headlines schtick, and today is no exception. The "headlines": Justice, Gooden deny Radomski's allegations Torre defends book; A-Rod unfazed | OlneyChargers GM Smith clears air with Tomlinson Source: Brady plans to be back for Pats openerReport: Sampson appealing NCAA
What the F@*! is Going On In San Francisco, You Ask? 27 Jan 2009 8:54 AM (16 years ago)
I get the feeling Mike Singletary is going to be a Bill Belichick style coach. I don't mean success-wise (I'll be thrilled if he has one-half the success Belichick has had in New England) but in that there are going to be guys who can't stand him and won't work for or with him, while there are going to be coaches and players who will walk through fire for him. Did you notice Scott Linehan is
Immediate Second Hour of LOST Thoughts 21 Jan 2009 9:02 PM (16 years ago)
Holy shit! Ana-Lucia! Ana-Lufuckingcia. My mind is being fucked. I knew it as soon as you could tell it was a woman cop getting out of the car. Dammit that's exciting. I already feel like I need to watch these two episodes more than three times to get everything that's gone on. There are seriously an unfollowable number of storylines going on. And who the fuck is this Neil character?
Immediate First Hour of LOST Thoughts 21 Jan 2009 8:56 PM (16 years ago)
Aaahhh, there's too much going on. Who's where and when and then Desmond makes an appearance? Shit, I was satisfied with the Desmond and Penny storyline's conclusion at the end of last season, and now their inclusion seems muddled. Sawyer's fatter than he used to be. Locke is the constant? Seriously, there are eighteen seperate stories happening within the hour! I need more time. I need
How 'Bout That NFC West? 18 Jan 2009 6:55 PM (16 years ago)
Yeah, there will still be some out there groaning that the best team in the NFC is not going to be playing two Sundays from now. Geez, last Sunday after Philly beat New York to get into the NFC Championship Game, some were upset that two 9-win teams had made it, certain the game was going to be a bummer of a shitfest of a mistake-filled blah. These weren't the two best teams in the NFC and no
Bonds Innocent...ish? 15 Jan 2009 8:18 AM (16 years ago)
Well no, probably not. But at least it looks like the government's perjury case against him isn't as much of a slam dunk as we've been lead to believe.On two fronts, Bonds is looking at developments that may help repair the tarnishing of his name, a little. According to a Yahoo! Sports report, at the time of Bonds' alleged ingestion (?) of the cream and the clear, neither were considered
Well, if he gets warts on his fingers, I guess it's not a bad thing if he misses a start 14 Jan 2009 8:28 AM (16 years ago)
From With Leather: "Barry Zito More Tainted Than Ever."From TMZ.com: "After the terrible season he had, we can't really blame SF Giants pitcher Barry Zito for denying he was Barry Zito the other night."Seems Barry Zito doesn't have much trouble with the strike zone when it comes to chicks. As for that off-season conditioning program? Apparantly it involvs group orgys and multiple STD tests.
Did you watch Ohio State/Texas? 6 Jan 2009 6:43 AM (16 years ago)
Thoughts-Matt Vasgersian is awful. Hot-air blowing douche. It seems there is a generation of sportscasters (Joe Buck, Brenneman, Vasgersian) who believe more is more. When a moment would best be left without the interruption of blowhardies, they instead try to superfluously inject excitement, judgment or drama. God dammit, shut the hell up.Fox is awful. I'm not interested in long visuals of
Ron Santo = Dumb 9 Dec 2008 6:47 AM (16 years ago)
I've never been a Ron Santo fan. It has little to do with his efforts as a player and everything to do with homerism in baseball beginning and ending with him and his beloved Cubbies. I know, the guy has diabetes. He's missing parts of his body. He had a good career. Not great, but good. Not a Hall of Fame career. In Santo's mind, it was great though, clearly meriting HOF induction. After
Your New Niners 11 Nov 2008 8:51 AM (16 years ago)
It was sloppy at the end, but it appeared more so due to the hooooorible officiating crew who decided early in the second half to throw a flag on every play regardless of whether or not a penalty had been committed. Jesus, did you see the tipped pass/pass interference call? There was no p.i. because the ball was tipped - even though the ball wasn't within three feet of a defender's hand - and
This is bordering on crazy 20 Oct 2008 8:00 AM (16 years ago)
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, he of the routinely beating everyone to the scoop, reports that Brett Favre has spoken to more than one team about the Packers' play-calling tendencies. Not only has he spoken to them, Favre has initiated the communication. It seems there's no rule against such actions, but what does it tell us about Favre as a man? I mean, I guess we already know he's a total douche.
News flash: Brett Favre is an attention-seeking douche after all 16 Oct 2008 9:41 AM (16 years ago)
We know Brett Favre famously, graciously, called fellow tough-guy, gunslinger, hot white stud quarterback Tony Romo to offer his encouragement over Romo's broken pinky, because Favre told ESPN he did so. Have you ever known anyone who does something nice, like makes a donation to an organization or cleans up baby birds after an oil spill, mostly so they can tell everyone they made a donation or
