Roundup: NFL Players Don’t Like Goodell, Michelle Tafoya Leaves ESPN & Pujols Staying in St. Louis?
Ashley Greene … anyone up for a 2012 GOP race discussion? … anatomy of a fake quotation … who is ready for a summer full of white folks in movies? … media reaction to the killing of Bin Laden … nice to see more donations going to the Navy Seals … scary: father passes out while driving, 5-year-old takes the wheel … if you need help with your “that’s what she said” jokes … in 2008, US troops were supposedly within 100 yards of Bin Laden’s compound … North Korea’s political prison camp holds around 200,000 … this actually happened: “Man calls 911 after being shortchanged in crack deal” … everyone loves Pippa! …

Doing much better on Roundup girls this week.
I didn’t watch it… but how in the hell did the Mavs just stroll into Staples and take a steaming dump on the Lake Show the past 3 days?
May 5th, 2011 at 8:17 AM

May 5th, 2011 at 8:19 AM
Van Morrison – These Are The Days = first song (in 10 freakin days!)
Dunno last song, but if that ends up being the roundup discussion, I’m going to take notes on ideas…
May 5th, 2011 at 8:20 AM
And Im sorry but no matter what – baseball games should not end at 2:45 AM. What a joke. 11 hours between games. There has to be a ‘curfew’ where you can suspend the game and finish it another day, like today.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:20 AM
That Caps team has serious issues. As much as I dislike Ovi, this one isn’t on him. When the other ‘stars’ on the team (Backstrom, Semin & Green) play as terribly as they did, you have no chance.
Boudreau is going to get the axe but I think he’s an above average coach. I’d gladly take him if the Leafs ever realize how terrible Ron Wilson is.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:20 AM

I watched a good portion of the games he played at MSU. I’m no basketball scout, but I knew he wasn’t ready to play in the NBA and that he wasn’t going to get drafted. Just crazy that some agent convinced him he would.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:33 AM
Nice work. Their new album is amazing. Hit the web a few days ago and is making the rounds on download sites…

My first dance with the wife at our wedding was to a Shania Twain song.

I thought the Cartman part of the iPad episode was great.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:43 AM
Shania Twain is less terrible than every guy that sings country. At least when you hear one of her songs from the 90′s you knew she was tres hot!
That channel with the country music video’s is the best channel with the sound off. Some nice scenery.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:43 AM
but damn that team in 2003 would have been good with him. NO point guard.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:44 AM
Our song: Here, There, and Everywhere by The Beatles
I wanted it to be “Something,” but my wife didn’t like the “You’re asking me will my love grow/I don’t know/I don’t know” part of it.
/my wife likes country music
//so just getting The Beatles was a win

May 5th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
Lost in this moment is a good one. Our final two choices were Thats how strong my love is (Otis Redding) and These are the days (van Morrison)… im not really into the typical super sappy love songs (no offense, Guinnessgirl), so I was looking at a lot of van morrison and a couple by bruce springsteen even
May 5th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
I’m with Garland on the Capitals. Not an Ovechkin fan, but the guy played his ass off.
Green was hurt in the latter part of the year, so he gets a pass. I hope for the Caps’ sake that Backstrom was hurt too, first year of a 10 year contract and he no showed the playoffs. They are only tied to Semin for next year, so can cut their losses easily.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
Also considered the song from juno “here is the church / here is the steeple / we sure are cute for two ugly people” haha
May 5th, 2011 at 8:45 AM
i second this.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:46 AM

May 5th, 2011 at 8:47 AM
jordan williams leaving for the draft completely overshadows the capitals disappointing sweep for me.
the terps go from a legit sweet 16 team to a bottom-feeder in the ACC overnight. he’s NOT ready for the jump… fuck me.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:47 AM
Yeah don’t even joke around about this. I had the good fortune to meet the most sane and levelheaded woman in the world, and even she is touch-and-go on some things with this wedding (which is a pretty simple wedding by most standards). I can’t imagine how high-drama women get around then…
May 5th, 2011 at 8:48 AM
I’m having “In my Life” as my song with my Mom, so can’t double-dip on the Beatles. I’m a huge Beatles fan (sorry Spence), but can’t push it too much. We were thinking of doing “Everything I do” for our song, but we can’t get out of our heads the Family Guy ep. where Stewie makes the music video using that song.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:48 AM
Just Breathe by Pearl Jam would be a great first song.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:48 AM

First Song – Bryan Adams, Heaven
Last song- I don’t know to be honest. I think we left early. There was a football game on we wanted to see
May 5th, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Plus if we are suggesting Lady Humps and Powerslave, I’m voting for Silver Spring by Stevie Nicks (mb with Fleetwood Mac still?). That might be the saddest frickin song ever.

I’ve heard “Tougher than the rest” or “better days” by bruce springsteen used. Of course, I routinely listen to the “Born To Run” album straight through when I run or am at work, so I’m a bit biased towards Bruce.

“I used to love her” by Gun’s and Roses
I used to love her, but I had to kill her.

Mantis: A fantastic song to use would be “Tupelo Honey” (Van Morrison) or “If I Should Fall Behind” (Bruce again) if you don’t mind his newer stuff. I’d advise listening to the extended previews on iTunes for all the ones I mentioned, and “share” them with your fiance, and then use the link there to see what she responds to
May 5th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
That Caps team has serious issues. As much as I dislike Ovi, this one isn’t on him. When the other ‘stars’ on the team (Backstrom, Semin & Green) play as terribly as they did, you have no chance.
backstrom was the most dissapointing, personally. i think green is highly overrated and semin has a history of disappearing.
ovi was double shifting the entire 3rd and playing his ass off while everyone else just seemed to lay down. embarrassing for a 4th year in a row.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
here’s some fun!
May 5th, 2011 at 8:55 AM
First song – Unforgettable (duet version with Nat and Natalie), barely won out over At Last by Etta James.
Last song – no clue.

We’re requesting Meatloaf – Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
“Said I’d love you till the end of time… and now I’m waiting for the end of time, to hurry up and arrive, cuz if I gotta spend another minute with you, I dont think I can really survive”
… dunno how that one ended up as one of our songs, but I guess we have a sick sense of humor
May 5th, 2011 at 8:56 AM
That was the one I went with as well.
They need to try to unload him this summer. Send him west and take fifty cents on the dollar if necessary but they can’t let that dumb ass stick around for another year. I hate Pierre McGuire but his commentary on Semin during the replay of TB’s fifth goal was dead on.
May 5th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
You danced in silence?
May 5th, 2011 at 8:57 AM
She’s not a fan of Van Morrison (although I’m going to get Brown Eyed Girl and Moondance in the night one way or another). Still have two weeks til we meet with our DJ again.

May 5th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
I’m not married so I am not one to comment on most of these crappy wedding songs (no offense to anyone) but you can’t go wrong with some Van Morrison.
if/when I ever get married, I’ll probably use “Pistol” by Dustin Kensrue. I’ve thought about playing it on guitar, but worried that might get a little sappy.

May 5th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
I think you’re probably right. In theory, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea for a team that won’t be a serious contender next year and has lots of cap room (your team, for example) to try to get him dirt cheap and then flip him as a rental later in the season. Of course, there is the whole issue of putting an idiot in the dressing room with a bunch of young players, which I think is a legit concern.

May 5th, 2011 at 9:18 AM
Garland, you nailed it in regards to putting him in a room with the young players. The Oilers spent last summer weeding out guys they thought caused internal strife, they won’t be interested in Semin.
I’d also worry about a losing team taking him on, don’t think he’d handle the adversity well. Best place for him would be a team with a strong Russian to guide him (Datsyuk, Kovalachuk), those teams are pretty well capped out tho.

Is it only if it’s more an obscure link (I’m sure lots of people found the “Anatomy of a Fake Quotation” link, but I am pretty sure I was the first to post it here… I just am curious if links get lifted from the comments, or if they are independently found.

If OBrien steps up, the Preds could have a dangerous second line defense with Ryan Ellis.
You’re going to be waiting a very long time if you expect O’Brien to step up. Franson, Blum, Klein and Ellis are much better options, though Ellis likely sees time in the AHL next year.

May 5th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
I guess overall, but the Preds series has been very good so far. A couple games were sloppy, but there has been some fantastic goaltending, a late equalizer and double overtime win for Preds in game 2, and another OT in game 3 (decided by a shit penalty).

That’s what is making that series disappointing. It’s the only one left worth watching. If Philly makes another 3-0 comeback, I’ll shit in my hat and eat it. Wings will probably win Game 4, but the Sharks are moving on.

After that penalty and the missed 6-men penalty, I have no confidence in the NHL to not rig it to get Vancouver into the WCFs. I guess maybe I’ve just watched too much NBA so I assume NHL is rigged too, but that sucked.
Need the equalizer tonight, I think they need to get Fisher away from Kesler… it’s distracting him too much. Get Weber’s line back on Kesler, and off the Sedin line.
May 5th, 2011 at 9:37 AM
Thats pretty deep.. and true. There were more than a couple guys on my ‘friend’ ladder that I really wanted to be attracted to, because they were such nice, cool guys and I loved hanging out with them. That sucked. But you cant force attraction.

Oh, I knew he was talking about the song. But if I knew my best man and his woman had just broken up, and their song was on the list of potential songs, I’d immediately veto it. You just have to. I’m guessing there’s a high probability the bride/groom didn’t know though. In that case, that’s a real shitty coincidence.
May 5th, 2011 at 9:42 AM
That was really the first botched call of the playoffs that directly affected the outcome of the game. It sucked that it had to favor the Canucks.
I’ll actually disagree. Keep the Weber-Suter combo on the Kesler line. It allows for them to body him around and wear him down through the game so he’s not as much of a defensive stalwart. With the Sedins struggling, the Preds can afford to do it. If they show life tonight, they may have to put Suter-Weber back on the Children of the Corn.
May 5th, 2011 at 9:43 AM
My brother had a small wedding with no open bar. Bought a bottle of gin on the way, and the second my speech was done, just drank that. Was a little strange being the only drunk one at a wedding though.

Isn’t that actually agreeing? I didn’t like Weber on Sedin, and thought Kesler ran the show too much. Get the best defenders on Kesler who has been the best player in the series. Make the Sedins earn the respect they got given to them in game 3 (inexplicably)
May 5th, 2011 at 9:44 AM
