Hello, everybody. Hef, clown and Rex plus Hef’s Gay Magician friend are spending the weekend together in Mexico. Per Hef, I was told no rape so far. He seemed pretty bummed out about it. But they did send me some pictures to share with you all. Below the jump is some of the initial glory that is the MLJ Mexican Bromance: Read the rest of this entry »

Good evening folks. Today was a pretty above average day in MLJ history. The new guy had a couple space fillers. One was an absolutely disgusting post, and the other had pictures of a couple weight loss girls. CRM cobbled together all of our Super Bowl picks(I was supposed to link that because apparently iCRM think’s you’re all too dumb to scroll down one post), Hef previewed some gayness, and Spencer wrote my personal favorite post of the day on Hawaiian Manti Te’o.

So tonight is Friday and many of you will be heading out. Will I be? Probably, but that won’t stop me from checking in via my cell phone (/cthomashowell’d) occasionally. 

One brief programming note: Sunday morning at 3 (or maybe it’s 3:3o) AM Eastern time, the Australian Open final will be on, featuring Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. If Federer wins he will equal Pete Sampras’s record for most career Slams. Yours truly will be live-blogging the event, so if any of you are fighting insomnia, feel free to stop on by. 

Stuff on TV tonight:

Friday Night Lights: One of the best shows on TV, make sure you at least Tivo it.

There are tons of good college hockey games on tonight, including, but not limited to, Princeton at Yale, Minnesota-Duluth at Wisconsin, Minnesota at Minnesota St., Ohio State at Alaska, and Michigan at Notre Dame.

Random good college bball game of the night: Brown at Cornell

Have a good weekend everyone, see you Saturday night/Sunday morning.

I don’t know exactly where I stand with this whole “my President roots for the same team as I do” thing. Being a White Sox fan has always come with certain privileges [for lack of a better word] that other people who aren’t White Sox fans wouldn’t consider privileges at all, such as: Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently, the Super Bowl is this Sunday. With that in mind we thought it might be fun to pick the score of the game. Winner gets to share the hammock with Gonzo’s corpse in Mexico at the MLJ vacation home. For the three of you who don’t have posting rights, feel free to add your picks in the comments.

CRM: Steelers 31, Cardinals 17

And it pains me to say this. I really don’t want it to happen because it will just feed into the Roethlisberger is great mystique. This game is really going to be determined in the first quarter. If the Cardinals have success early, the Stillers will have to play from behind and will ultimately be fucked. How-eva! If the Steelers can stop the Cards early, they will most likely kick the shit out of them. Any East Coast football team that goes out and punches the Cards in the mouth is going to crush them. It’s science.

Also, one of the quarters should end with Steelers _6, Cardinals _O. This would make me very happy.

Roman: Steelers 31 Cardinals 23

I think this game starts of a lot closer than the final score. I see the Steelers totally taking away the Cardinals minimal ground game. The Steelers will get beaten for one or two big plays but overall Kurt Warner is going to get pulverized by the second half making him wonder why his God has forsaken him. Ben Roethlisberger will throw for 300 yards against a sketchy Cardinal D and will win his Super Bowl MVP and Fetch will have to deal with the Roethlisberger manlove for the rest of his days.

MLJers Hef, Clown and Rex (as well as Hef’s gay, magician friend) are taking a trip to the MLJ beachhouse in Mexico for a weekend of partying, drinking, Super Bowling and rape.  The over/under on organ thefts is .5.  I’m taking the over.

By the time you read this post, Rex’s plane should have landed.  Or crashed.  Either way I’m still going to Mexico this weekend and I’m pretty sure Clown agrees.  Do you know how much dedication it requires to leave your pregnant nauseous wife alone for 3+ days with two other kids in order to drive to another country with your fake internet friends to watch a sporting event that is also available in your own living room?  That takes finesse.

I’m just saying, I could be shot at by the Federales and I would drive until the blood loss caused me to pass out and drive into a ditch (hopefully my car would explode and take out Rex and Clown too).  So there’s no way in hell I’m going to junk the trip because Rex was stupid enough to get on a plane that was destined to blow up.

I’m bringing the camera for blackmailing purposes.  I figure it’ll make a great bartering tool in helping me get my kidney back later.  But ideally, this is a business trip.  We’ll be talking site design and the future of our editorial direction and beer beer beer.

Please stick around for the comment section as I try to liveblog the awkwardness of my first encounter with my fake internet friends.  $50 says Rex is unbearable.  I’m also betting that Clown and I are going to be best friends forever.

Have you ever got the feeling while listening to a song that the artist who wrote it must have had thoughts of selling out even before it hit the radio for the first time? They knew they had a hit that would play for years to come during sporting events or in commercials. Well this is that list (for no reason whatsoever, except that I like arbitrary lists. Oh and I’m quite bored). A top 5 of the most egregious sellouts. Now this list isn’t so much about songs that were sold out afterwards like Janis Joplin and her ode to Mercedes (which was really a song mocking people and their materialistic ways to later be used by Mercedes themselves as a way to encourage people to embrace their materialistic ways. Yeah, irony). This is more a list of songs that were sellouts even before they sold out. If that makes sense (it doesn’t). Let’s just get on to the list, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

Good morning everyone. Thanks to the wonders of college I don’t have to be anywhere until noon, so have fun reading this without me.

Not much happened in my world last night, just tons of napping due to 9 AM class all week. Pro sports sucked too, but there was a ton of goings on in the NCAA.

Both the AD of Kansas State and the commissioner of the MAC resigned.

Texas baseball coach and all around criminal (just kidding Clown, he’s a class act) Augie Garrido apologized for his DUI arrest, and he will miss UT’s first four games.

Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson was tabbed to lead the women’s 2010 Olympic hockey team, leading to him potentially coaching the US game on the 30th anniversary of the Miracle On Ice, in which Johnson scored a goal.

Oklahoma State German Fernandez set the junior indoor record for the mile, at 3 minutes 56.5 seconds. Shit, I do that everyday at the gym.

Sadly, there will be no investigation into the on ice actions of the two thugs for Michigan State in their game on Saturday. However, there will be an investigation into what occured in the Michigan State lockerroom after the game. Apparently the father of Steve Kampfer, the assaulted player, verbally confronted Corey Tropp in the lockerroom. If I was Kampfer’s father, Tropp wouldn’t be able to walk right now, so I condone his restraint.

Under The Lights

Good evening my loyal fandom. Today was a spectacular day here at MLJ. I might venture to say it is possibly the greatest blogging day in the history of evAr. But that is just me. Since it is me and my opinion is weighed heavier than most, I will go on record with the declaration. Anywho, I was reading the newspapers here in New York and the topic of Brandon Jacobs, his free agency and his thoughts on Plaxico Burress came up. Why? Well, he is doing some promo work for Under Armour which means in this football obsessed cauldron that is Super Bowl week any and all quotes are welcome and newsworthy. Now Brandon had some thoughts on his status with the Giants and Plaxico’s effect on the team. Here are the thoughts: Read the rest of this entry »
