The Roundup: DeSean Jackson is a Good Guy, Bob Griese Retires & Ohio State Wins Again
Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester – you’re seeing ‘Roommate’ this weekend, right? … didn’t expect this guy to get caught at the Bellagio … set the DVR: Friday Night Lights returns to NBC April 15 … the Philly Daily News put “WTF” on the back cover … I’ve never seen “nice tits” written on one of those Valentine’s Day candy hearts … sad story here; there’s talk it may have been a suicide pact … these Arizona teenagers stole items from a police bait car, then torched the vehicle …. here are some girls on a mechanical bull … the Super Bowl got 3-4 inches of snow last night …

The producer of that Menounos/Decker spot needs fired. If they’re going to play pool, put them in a low-cut top so that when they bend over you get some nice cleavage shots.

Looks like Nebraska is going to have a good bit of coaching turnover. Marvin Sanders (badass secondary coach) is resigning due to wanting to “spend time with his family.” I doubt we’ll hear about the rumors of him getting in trouble during a recruiting visit, which lead to his resignation. Looks like the WR coach and the OC are next to go (hallelujah). There is some talk of Nebraska bringing in Oregon WR coach (and former Husker QB) Scott Frost in some capacity. Should be interesting to watch unfold.

Exactly. He was never given a full go, so the moment the losses came, he was gone. I’m not saying Michigan should have kept him, because his record was terrible, but there were a lot of people in the Michigan community and its media that wanted him out from the moment he got there.

Seriously, the Steeler fans here in Columbus baffle me. And if you ask the majority of them why they are fans, they’ll tell you it’s because the Browns and Bengals suck. What kind of fans admit that they’re bandwagon and don’t care? At least show some pride and make something better up. A bunch of LeBrons running around here.

- Hines ward strip club
- Ben drinking one night

Win games and the Drama goes away. RR needs to man up, say something along the lines of “It didn’t work out, and its on me as the head corch”

There are a ton of them in NEO now. I was out in a Pistons shirt and someone asked me why I wasn’t a Cleveland fan. I explained to them I’m from Detroit, but I root for the Browns why they play the Steelers. They then said they were a Steelers fan, because the Browns suck.

TBL: I don’t think they were talking about the Super Bowl per se (I read that last night too). I think it was more that Lisk’s well thought out, potential for thoughtful discussion post was put up at the end of the day/early evening, while there were some goofy mascot/girls swimming posts that generate stupid comments & no real discussion, which seems to be happening a little more over the last couple of months.
I wasn’t here in the middle of the day (rarely am), but that’s what I think (and have been told)

Yeah, the first time I did it, which was the worst. I was flat on my back for two days. Each time after that, it hasn’t been as bad.
The chiropractor showed me what happend on his little chart. Basically, there’s a muscle that wraps around from my spine to my hip on each side, and it locked up. Basically a cramp without the intense pain, but with the same tightness of muscle. It fucking blows.

Sounds like we’re in the exact same boat. When my disk gets tweaked, it causes the muscle connecting my tailbone to hips to “tighten” and it constantly feels like there is a knot there.
My doctor gave me a script for Meloxicam, which is a ramped up Euro version of OTC stuff like Advil. When I’m hurting, I take one before I go to bed and it helps me at least put my socks on without too much pain when I wake up.

this is Scott Weiland’s routine too. you can count the number of rehab visits by counting the number of STP and Velvet Revolver albums.

DeSean Jackson is a babe.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:43 AM
I was thinking keith, but has he ever had a near death moment? I know he has gone at it pretty hard.
closest was just a few years ago when he fell out of a coconut tree. The other time, he fell off a ladder

Might want to try icing it. I know the rule of thumb is not to ice back injuries, but both my chiro/doctor said that if it’s an inflamed disk/muscle heating won’t do anything. Numb those nerves, get the muscles to contract/be less inflamed.

By unkindly focusing only on the negative aspect of your ownership, the author, Dave McKenna, is suggesting that you are an avaricious, imperious, conscienceless plutocrat with callous contempt for the fans; a man whose Napoleonic, pouter-pigeon swagger conceals a doofus-like understanding of the game and whose pernicious, autocratic meddling has consigned the team to perpetual mediocrity and its players and coaches to a perennial state of harrowing anxiety, all of this starting virtually from the moment you arrived and continuing to this very minute.

I’m thoroughly amused by Boston writers/fans suddenly pointing to regular season stats and pro bowl invites as the best way to judge a QB. Seems like just 4 years ago they were all about clutch and rings. Weird.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:48 AM

he’s right. ice, not heat.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
Less weight, more reps, and make sure you are using perfect form on every rep.
It sucks, but you gotta do it. I used to love powerlifting, but i just can’t do the heavy shit anymore (deadlifts, powercleans, etc).
February 4th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
I usually only exercise dictionary.com with duffy posts. I merely wanted to let him know he’s been surpassed. I will now study for the SAT* using Gene Weingarten articles exculsively.
agreed though, learning is fun.

re back problems: it’s not only about core strength, you really need to stretch frequently. most lower back issues stem from tight hamstrings, glutes, and hip muscles that tug on the lower back muscles when they’re tight. and if you’re lifting, stretching is a must.
i’ve been to physical therapy 2-3 different periods in my life for back issues and that advice seems to be a recurring theme.
February 4th, 2011 at 9:54 AM

this. when I was running, i frequently had back problems because my hip muscles and hamstrings were/are really tight. no amount of stretching (combined over an hour a day back then) could give me enough flexibility.

how were your running shoes back then? i noticed a big difference once i get shoes that fit my stride. for some reason i had been using shoes best used for over pronators when I’m more of a neutral stride and it put alot of stress on my knees and lower back over time.

I’m not very convinced Apple will release two new phones within 4 months of each other on Verizon.

Why not? They just sold a shit load of iphones from a pre-sale. Verizon (if you want to believe them or not) said they had they’re best sales day ever. I’m sure there are people, myself included, who would be willing to wait and buy a new iphone in July.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:29 AM
No way man, get it now. Downtown NYC will look like Cairo with the summer food riots.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
My fucking TV gets here today. This is life changing.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:31 AM
I’m getting my wife one, but we’re waiting till summer to see if they come out with a new one.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:32 AM
Yes but those people buying the Verizon phone today will have an old, outdated phone 4 months from now. That’s not good. This is Apple we’re talking about, not Android.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:34 AM
My buddy has a Samsung galaxy. I almost like it more that my iphone.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:39 AM
why is that not good? all of those people buying today have heard the rumors about summer so they know the “risk” of not having the most updated phone if they roll out a new one in 5 months. also, many of the people buying immediately are classified as innovators by technology marketers, so they may buy the new one in summer too. maybe I’m being short-sighted, but I don’t see why it’s bad.
I have no idea what this means since I don’t own either phone.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:50 AM
Yes but those people buying the Verizon phone today will have an old, outdated phone 4 months from now. That’s not good. This is Apple we’re talking about, not Android.
Yeah, I’ll keep my one phone for five years because I don’t give a shit. Apple lemmings tithe 10% of their income to that evil baron Steve Jobs because he’s smart enough to release shit that doesn’t work/have all the features, knowing idiots will scoop them up, then release the “enhanced” (fixed) version & those same lemmings will stand in line to get another one.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:52 AM
New Android devices come out every other week. Apple’s product cycles are once per year. I wouldn’t be a happy customer if I bought the Verizon phone today only to have my model outdated in 4 months. The reference is that’s something I would expect as an Android owner, not iPhone owner. But it’s just a hunch. It also wouldn’t make sense to have Verizon customers 8 months behind AT&T customers on a new model.
February 4th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
New Android devices come out every other week.
Yeah, but they are from different manufacturers (Samsung, LG, Sanyo). Apple takes the same phone & adds a feature or three & resells it months later
February 4th, 2011 at 10:57 AM
at this point i’d get an android phone over my iphone4. In a way i do feel sorry for the verizon people scrambling to get the iphone4, but i’m ditching this phone for the next release of the iphone as soon as possible. I don’t drop calls with the antenna issue so much, but i’ve had issues with connecting to the data network at random times.
