Not much going on today. I’ve been stuck in the pooper most of the day, due to a massive jalepeno, bacon and ham-filled omelette swamped in salsa. It was an epic breakfast for an epic man. I don’t have very many creative juices flowing today ever, so I’m hitting you upside the head with a massive attack of linx. May you discuss them or the video below and may you have a good afternoon and evening as well. Hook ‘em tonight against UCLA.
* Coolest. Magnets. EvAr!
* Senator solicits votes, gropes granddaughter.
* Opinion poll: McBias asks who are the top commenters in the sports blog universe? (I know it’s not “McBias” but that’s how I pronounce it in my head)
* Relief: Fetch recently had some flood issiues in his dorm, but thanks to some nifty engineering, he was able to salvage all of his tech gear.
* So disappointing: Yankee “fan” sucks off Red Sawx management.
* Paul Lukas’s annual uni-nerd (proud member) holiday gift guide.
* Score one for NickP: NBA fans know where the excitement’s at. It’s fan-tastic!
* It’s official: Big XII AP reporters > Big XII coaches. Congrats to McCoy and Orakpo.
* Breaking down this weekend’s De La Hoya/Pacquiao fight. (Also, a great tip on how to get the fight for fairly cheap, although I recommend you only drink Tecate with limes)
This is Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Many of you recognize the following song because it was covered by Allure (famous for being on the Tru Warier record label). If you watch the below version of All Cried Out, keep watch for two of the members of Full Force. They were a pretty big R&B group on the urban circuit during the 80’s, but they are best known by you white folks for their work in the award-winning House Party dynasty.

Greatest commenter: Clown
/runs away crying because I’m not all cried out.
How does the old saying go? If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make it a sound? After attending the Grizzlies/Hawks game last night in Atlanta, I feel like I’ve come up with the basketball equivalent to that phrase: If an NBA game is played, but there is nobody there to see it, does it really count?
What a brilliant and original opening.
I agree, CRM. I think every single beat writer for the Florida Marlins uses that same opening line at least 2x a year.
lmao.
I remember when I was an A-Number-One commenter.
/McBias is dead to me
fuck McBias. Gonzo was #1 till he died. all that guy did was comment on blogs.
Gonzo is the Heath Ledger of commenting. Made greater than he really was after his death.
When your name is Saxby, you’re destined to be a molester.
i nominate maggs.
I miss maggs. What a heart of gold.
Thanks for the shout-out, McBias.
/asshole
Maggs was like the brother I didn’t know… because he was put up for adoption.
“because he was put up for abortion.”
/Hef’d
Goddammit if I ain’t all cried out now.
TBL died.
/the site, not the guy.
stigs- huh?
Scientific research only partially agrees.
“Maggs the abortion court finds you guilty.”
/Abortion Judge
//Hef
I can’t believe I was lumped into the same list as Clown. That’s embarrassing. That dude is trash.
I cant believe someone mentioned me.
spence, i’m in need of a marijuana-filled cigarette thingy. listening to a sweet and mellow untitled buckethead piece.
Tampa, was that someone you? It’s okay, we’re only mildly judgmental around here (psst…mostly NickP. You know how white people are).
Hef is always on point with others sincerity. can’t get bullshit by him.
Sparty is being sincere right now. Not an ounce of sarcasm in that comment.
/phew!
17,567th Sign of the Impending Apocalypse: Bill Paxston, Nicholas Cage, and Keanu Reeves to film remake of The Three Amigos. Fuck me…
Hef I wish. How could I say something like that when you are the bestest commenterer ever in life.
i have this shit that looks like it was dipped in blow. i think it’s called afghan kush.
hopefully i can get more tonite.
Tampa is also being sincere.
/ctl + d
/that means I just bookmarked his comment
/dummies
I cant believe Trent Dilfer has a favorite commenter
hef likes to dip himself in fetch’s tush. is that similar to what you’re trying to score, spence?
spencer, still waiting on that weed post.
spencer, still waiting on that weed post.
hef, still waiting on that fetch’s tush post.
NickP, still waiting on the Hitler post.
Gross
shit…you know, i might as well actually do a weed post. i mean if my work actually looked at the shit i say on the internet, they’d know by now…hell, my facebook page says “weed > booze”…you’d tthink they’d have noticed if they gave a shit.
gross? hitler wasn’t gross, hef. i prefer to think of him as a trend-setter whose style of mustache was just ahead of it’s time.
spence, maybe they agree with your lifestyle choice. test it out by lighting up in the office. that’d be a fairly accurate litmus test.
plus, if they ever talk to you, they’re probably pretty sure you’re fond of marijuana.
my boss did take my entire dept out to see the most recent harold and kumar movie…so they might actually agree with it.
Another one?
/sincere, there’ve been 3 so far (2 me, hef 1)
stigs…i do talk like a valley girl, so you’re probably right.

Mizerle with baseball news!!!
for you NickP: http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2008/dec/04/lincoln-gets-4m-two-year-deal/?partner=RSS
/threadjack
wait, didn’t Nick already say this? What’s going on? Am I on Candid Camera? Come on out, Ashton, I’m on to you.
Not only did I already say it, Mizerle is the one that asked me about it directly after the comment.

Man, that guy has really let himself go.
