The Roundup: Kevin Costner’s Baseball Team, the Douchiest College in America & Women Fight on the Subway

Didn’t we have a nice little Black Widow discussion a while back?
did you watch that one minute news story? Because he didn’t die immediately of 19 spider bites. It was weeks later, and he was riding it out at home, not seeking medical attention. He died from sitting at home, not seeking medical attention. His condition may have been brought on by 19 spider bites from weeks earlier, but it was the not seeking medical attention part that probably killed him.

July 22nd, 2011 at 9:05 AM
I watched it. Black widows are poisonous and from what I’ve read, their bites sting similar to what you would feel if you were stung by a bee. Maybe the guy was passed out drunk at the time, but I would think most people could feel 19 bee stings on their foot while they were sleeping. I’d feel one and wake up instantly.

It’s no Rocketeer. Movie starts out great but then it gets a TV movie vibe about halfway through, and I think that’s because some of the stuff looked way too green screen obvious. Acting was solid to good. The gal in the movie did a really good job.
July 22nd, 2011 at 9:08 AM
I don’t know how he is as an assistant. I would think that he has impacted Kevin Love. But the Pistons needed someone who has had some success as a head coach, which Frank has had when he had some talent. They weren’t interviewing coaches like Jerry Sloan. It wasn’t quite like hiring the smartest retard, but Frank was the best of those available.

During one of our spider discussions, someone linked to these fucking nasty creatures that are the size of a small crab and move like lightning.

July 22nd, 2011 at 9:15 AM
I hope you haven’t fallen out of this belief. it’s 100% true. a spider’s sole purpose is to kill and eat humans. why else would they ever come inside the house? the bugs they supposedly eat are OUTSIDE.

Comic book movies are meant to simply entertain, you can’t go in with too high of expectations. The Nolan Batman’s are a completely different tone, it’s a series that makes you forget that they are Batman movies. But others are formulaic, and if you accept that, you should be entertained. Not that their haven’t been abortions. The fault that most have is shitty villains and/or lack of seeing the superhero as the superhero, see: Iron Man 2

I had a dream last night that I was trying to kill a spider. But it was quick and camouflaged in the carpet. The key was to turn off the lights because part of it would glow in the dark. It had neon green blood or something. Like the Predator. If it bleeds, we can kill it.

That was me… some sort of huntsman spider. Someone the other day posted a link to some pictures of these new species found on some island in the pacific.

July 22nd, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Isn’t it also true that the players receive 53% of all TV revenue through the entire deal, and since the entire NFL tv negotiating rights come due in 2014, wouldn’t that be a huge windfall since CBS/FOX/NBC/ESPN will probably pay through the ass for them? How is that bad for the players?

Iron Man 2 honestly didn’t bother me that much. It hit struck enough of the right notes to satisfy me. But the first Iron Man was fucking amazing. Hell, Thor was entertaining as hell and I would recommend that to people, but I wasn’t as anxious to see it as I was Capt. America. I think a lot of this has to do with expectation. This final Batman movie has such high expectations that if Nolan pulls it off…wow.
July 22nd, 2011 at 9:25 AM

Yes, he is signed on as a producer. Zack Snyder is directing, which has me concerned with the storytelling. The action should be awesome though, and we should have a great Supes/Zod throwdown. We never really have had Superman really beat the shit out of anyone like he did to the big baddies in the comics.

Australia is fucking weird. Giant sprinting spiders, ridiculous amounts of poisonous creatures, and summer in January.
A few of the people that I know who have studied abroad down there have told me Australia is awesome, but they could never live there because of all of the scary critters walking/crawling around down there. Spiders the size of their fists, etc.

I actually considered asking him for an autograph to Lisk with a joke about getting a restraining order, but I never really got a good opportunity.
/I could have bid on an autographed jersey/bat/ball in a shadow box in the silent auction, but it went for something like $1500.

I’m not sure… I know all the episodes only took up one box set and Sci-Fi channel was able to do a marathon of all the episodes in 2 days time.
Joss Whedon isn’t a bad director and I like that he mixes in a little humor with all his characters. If you don’t care for any of his shows, keep in mind he’s only directing the Avengers, not writing the script.

The only complaint was that the wireless didnt work, which is a very common problem at large conferences in the biggest, techiest cities. There are just certain limitations for wifi when there are 1K people in the same room.

Ahh… I see. I know a #2. She’s attractive though, so I guess I wouldn’t mind using something other than duct tape to get her to stop talking.

Listening to Takeo Spikes on the radio right now makes me dislike the players more. DeMaurice Smith makes me fucking hate the players.

I don’t that would work as well as you hope
July 22nd, 2011 at 9:51 AM
nothing can spoil attractiveness like a mouth that spews diarrhea incessantly. i don’t mind being chatty…but when it’s constant and it’s nothing but dumb drama, i have a low tolerance.
July 22nd, 2011 at 9:51 AM
She got moved to a different seat, thank god. I can still hear her on the phone every now and then but it’s not as bad as it was.

the best part is my cheap ass boss coming in, holding his hand in front of the vent which is blowing hot air and him saying “well it’s blowing air.”

I didn’t read the article, but I assume they’re all a mix of “play in New York” or “hire Scott Boras as your agent.”

Read The League by David Harris if you want to understand why Al Davis abstained. Not the first time, nor likelý the last.
July 22nd, 2011 at 9:58 AM
This made me giggle:
“The Chicago Cubs would be willing to absorb a high percentage of left fielder Alfonso Soriano’s contract if the right trade offer came along, a source familiar with the situation told ESPNChicago.com.
Soriano has more than $60 million remaining on an eight-year, $136 million deal he signed in November 2006.”

It’s all about women so it consists of things like play tennis, run track and field, be attractive, and put on a swimsuit.
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:00 AM
FX is killing it with comedies this last couple years. Always Sunny, The League, Louie, Archer and now Wilfred. I love all these shows.

Ah, but it still doesn’t explain who Brice Harper got a cover when he was A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. Clausen didn’t even pay for that much hype.
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:08 AM
He is arguably the best prospect in the history of the sport. It’s not like a high schooler (even those signed with Boras) is on the cover all the time. In fact, they almost never are.
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:10 AM
anyone else watching Torchwood?
I’ve only seen the first episode of this particular series (and this particular reboot), but I’m a Torchwood fan, and have seen all the prior ones, too.
Torchwood is a good show, even when it’s asinine. This one was all big budget-y, which was weird. And it’s in America. And it’s Russell T Davies, which is cool.
July 22nd, 2011 at 10:13 AM
Almost would call it chilly this morning in San Diego. Highs might get into the 80′s. Should be a beautiful day.
