Kate Mara, the only palatable thing about the NY Giants … in case you missed Jessica Alba on Letterman Monday … only in Arkansas: “Witness Recalls Gunfire at Baptism Party” … strip club drama in Detroit … because we forgot to link the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ cast yesterday … 11 people who earn less money than ‘The Situation‘ … Salma Hayek never seems to disappoint … “Butts arrest in Boob case” … man tasered three times in his own house (with video) …

I figured most people could care less.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:14 AM
It’s obvious, but it’s worth repeating whenever he’s brought up: Jeff Francoeur sucks.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:17 AM
Agree. He won’t help the Rangers at all. What’s up with them hardly playing Jorge Cantu anymore?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:23 AM
He plays against lefties, no? They like that Mitch Moreland character, who’s been OK but not great, like Cantu.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:24 AM
Salma Hayek never seems to disappoint
Agreed.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:26 AM
you know who I am sick of? Every single person that was in Best in Show. (I bring it up because Jane Lynch makes less than the situation).
When is it going to be over for these people? Specifically, though, Jane Lynch, Fred Willard and John Michael Higgins.
Also, is the Situation too famous to sit for a cast photo of DWTS?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:27 AM
Salma Hayek never seems to disappoint
unless you saw that movie where she played Freida Kahlo.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:28 AM
Yea, he plays only against lefties which suprises me. Cantu isn’t that bad of a player.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:32 AM
When a player is out there with a 78 OPS+, you just have to pick him up.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:32 AM
Maybe I don’t watch enough TV, but I don’t think I’ve seen Fred Willard since Best in Show.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:33 AM
Perhaps they should take her to Orlando, specifically a gated community, where her sugar daddy got busted for texting her.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:33 AM
I am with you Clay. I was never a fan of that Best in Show crap in the first place. Never made me laugh. Willard and Lynch can fade to ambiguity any time now. Not funny.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:35 AM
The Toilet video is classic!!! Ochostinko wishes he thought about that one.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:36 AM
Is he even going to get many ABs with the Rangers? From the article, it appears he will be the last man off the bench. And, yes, he stinks out loud.

NFL investigating Brandon Spikes video
Ok hang on just one second- can the NFL really punish someone for something they did before they were in the league?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:38 AM
Am I the only one dumb enough to think this was a link to sordid tales about food sales at Fenway?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:40 AM

Didn’t she get the lead role as Lisbeth Salander for the US version of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” Film? Yea, I hope Daddy Mara doesn’t have a heart attack from some of those sex scenes that were in the book
September 1st, 2010 at 8:40 AM
Jane Lynch is awesome.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:41 AM
Yeah that too! WTF!
September 1st, 2010 at 8:41 AM
Yes they can if Goodell thinks anything an NFL player or coach does off the field which gives the NFL a bad name. Includes things they did before they joined a team. Goodell is protecting the league’s image.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:41 AM

September 1st, 2010 at 8:44 AM
That would take things a bit too far IMHO. This is a private video between 2 consenting adults which one of them decided to make public once the other one got to the NFL. No wrongdoing here. It shouldnt tarnish the league that one of its players once had sexual relations.

September 1st, 2010 at 8:45 AM
No. And it seems like the Rangers have roughly five million corner outfielders and utility guys, I guess Joaquin Arias might have had SARS or something.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:46 AM
Can someone forward this quote to Goodell? Hell, forward it to American society.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:46 AM
Best in Show is fucking hilarious. I love that movie. The yuppie couple with the Weimaraner cracks me up.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:46 AM
Willard was nominated for an Emmy for guest role in Modern Family this past season. It was a really good episode.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:48 AM
Which one from Best in Show is Fred Willard?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:49 AM
@sportsgal–he was the dog show MC.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:50 AM
CJ, if Spikes had been drafted by the Jets would this bother you so much?

September 1st, 2010 at 8:51 AM
aside from the prez, scarlett and bill murray…im not sure any of those people deserve to make more than the situation.
September 1st, 2010 at 8:52 AM
I have no ill will toward the cast of Best in Show, nor Freaks and Geeks, regarding of whatever shelter Sam Wier’s staying in.

September 1st, 2010 at 8:56 AM
Why on earth would it bother me? I’d throw a party if a Jet was suspended for any reason whatsoever. Now any other team, I’d probably still think this was a weird thing to potentially get in trouble for.

11 people who earn less money than ‘The Situation‘
aside from the prez, scarlett and bill murray…im not sure any of those people deserve to make more than the situation.
I think he should earn that much for the amount of hatred he engenders across America. Think about it. Who wouldn’t love to punch the tool out of his face?
September 1st, 2010 at 9:04 AM
The memory of that is still hilarious
September 1st, 2010 at 9:06 AM
If it bothers you so much that The Situation makes so much you must hate capitalism. Or you need more important things to complain about.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:07 AM
i find the situation to be a beacon of the american dream and the only character on that show i DON’T want to punch in the face.
ok…don’t wanna punch vinnie either.

Do you think, at some point, they’ll realize that their show is a comedy and they are the joke?
September 1st, 2010 at 9:10 AM
I don’t care that he makes his money, I’m saddened that people spend their time watching him, thus giving the execs a reason to pay him. I don’t blame him at all. It’s the idiots that make him famous that annoy the shit out of me.

Having watched probably 5/6 episodes, I’m pretty sure The Situation realizes this. Maybe a couple of others. Definitely not Ronnie and Sammie, though.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:12 AM
you’ve gone too far. i can stomach the creed and nickelback jokes, but not this…
September 1st, 2010 at 9:12 AM
I’m gonna need to see evidence that any of the girls on that show are actually girls.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:14 AM
I am amazed at how outraged people get over Jersey Shore or that people try to use it as a prism through which to view America from atop their cultural high horse. It’s a trash comedy, lighten up.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:15 AM
I’m very sorry that I annoy you, Gods.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:16 AM
This. I can turn on the TV for an hour every Thursday and switch off my brain, and laugh without having to think about anything.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:16 AM
Thats what makes me sad. When the idea for the show first came out I was looking forward to it so we could all laugh at the dumb guidos, and there would be a new cast each season. Somehow these people have become legtimately famous and are not mocked as they should have been. This is just not the direction I saw this show going.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:16 AM
As far as that cast of people, Waiting For Guffman was better than Best in Show.
Caroline Wozniacki dominated that girl from UGA last night. Her service game is only dwarfed by Serena’s. Of course, Serena should be playing the other gender, so… Oh, Nadal looked pretty average for a straight sets win. Bet he doesn’t make the semis.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Do you think, at some point, they’ll realize that their show is a comedy and they are the joke?
My only doubt with that is that, given their behavior, I doubt such a concept can enter some of their minds.
Not to mention that it’d be the third show on TV featuring such a fake profile, after The Colbert Report and Glenn Beck’s show.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:17 AM

September 1st, 2010 at 9:19 AM
So are the happy foursome hungover this morning after their trip to Yankee Stadium last night?
September 1st, 2010 at 9:20 AM
I am amazed at how outraged people get over Jersey Shore or that people try to use it as a prism through which to view America from atop their cultural high horse. It’s a trash comedy, lighten up.
But is the joke played on the cast or is the joke played on the audience? Who is laughing at the end? Us at their antics or they to the bank?
September 1st, 2010 at 9:20 AM
Hey I admit I watched most of the first season. I just thought they would switch casts after that. Havent these people done all they can to entertain us? Get drunk, have sex, fight, rinse and repeat?
September 1st, 2010 at 9:21 AM
I honestly think Beck is straight up crazy. I think Rush says shit that he doesn’t believe because he knows that his listeners do and he knows he’ll get a rise out of people, but I honestly think Beck believes he’s here for some higher purpose. I think he’s legitimately crazy. Now, he’s very smart about it. He knows he can play off of his fans and make a shitload of money doing so, but I also think he buys into his perceived (by his followers) greatness.

I just don’t like the entire Waiting for Guffman, Best In Show genre. I don’t find it remotely entertaining. I think its cool that the same cast of characters come back for every movie. But, that still doesn’t make me want to watch it.

I believe your first problem may be knowing who all the people on that show are.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:23 AM
I use that hour every Thursday to not think, so when important stuff comes along, like sports, I can watch and pay attention, so I understand what’s going on. Unlike, say, yourself.

Click on my name and you can read plenty o sports articles. There are a lot more I will upload, but right now tho, there is plenty of minor-league ball (stars of today back when), including a long piece on Adrian Gonzalez, some college football–piece about an U of Maryland lineman and one on Columbia U. football and the aftermath of Northwestern’s 1995 upset of Notre Dame– something I wrote while watching 9-11 coverage on TV and some other articles about deaths in coaches’ and players’ families. There’s some NFL stuff (Deon Sanders!), too. And plenty of great human-interest pieces about athletes you’ve never heard of as well as some business profiles. In the coming days there will be much more

ooo lala.
US Open was good stuff last night. Gabashvili played really well, but Nadal is just awesome, even though I hate him. I am assuming he will blow out a knee on the court sometime and that will be it though.
The American girl looks like she has a shot to be good in the future, but she unfortunately had to play Wozniacki. Tough to pull an upset when you’re a little wild and playing against the best defensive player in the world so even when you hit a good shot she has a shot to return it.

All of this talk about Best in show and Guffmann have me quoting the movie to my office buddies. Someone brought up This is Spinal Tap. I started laughing just thinking about that movie.

Recreated that for my high school senior project. Sadly, that videotape got recorded over with an episode of Guiding Light.

@spence,
that whole movie is awesome. Like when that guy can’t break out of his bubble or how small the Stonehenge model is coming down from the ceiling always kills me.

Marty DiBergi: It’s very pretty.
Nigel Tufnel: Yeah, I’ve been fooling around with it for a few months.
Marty DiBergi: It’s a bit of a departure from what you normally play.
Nigel Tufnel: It’s part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I’m working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don’t know why.
Marty DiBergi: It’s very nice.
Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like – I’m really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it’s sort of in between those, really. It’s like a Mach piece, really. It’s sort of…
Marty DiBergi: What do you call this?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, this piece is called “Lick My Love Pump”.

Saw VH with Cherone in concert. Have to say the highlight was when Eddie Van Halen sang a slow song called “How Many Say I?” and played piano as the crowd actually turned on him and started booing until they started another song. If you’ve never heard the song, trust me…singing and not playing guitar are two things Eddie Van Halen should never do or not do in concert.

And if the subject had been a Democrat…
Even as Barack Obama’s public voice grows more confident, he has become increasingly disciplined, unafraid to challenge old friends and associates, and maintaining rigourous message discipline among those around him. Following the former Chicago community organizer‘s road show, the author delves into the world of awe and wonder Obama now inhabits—a place of hope, boldness, and change, which has unleashed the engaging, average ordinary dad and his family—and the opportunity he has left in his ascent.

I picked up the receiver
And I did not believe her
When I heard a voice say you’re not alone
When I am down and I am blue
All I have to do
Is close my eyes and think of you
And the world is new
