how heavily will the German kid who won the WSOP be taxed?
according to that very link, he won’t be taxed a cent by either the US or Germany. So he won’t be taxed heavily at all.
I am also a little freaked out by butt chugging. Even more than a boy using a vodka tampon up his rectum.

I came to see if anybody had spotted the first “Houston, We Have a Problem” headline stemming from the Matt Schaub injury.

I just read that CJ. The only reason I can think of why NBC is keeping Whitney and that Up All Night POS is because they have bigger star names with show developments attached to them. I am taking the wait and see approach on that Chelsea Handler show with the redhead/blonde from That 70′s Show playing Chelsea. Saw a long promo of it and it looks equally as bad as Whitney.

Caught up on Walking Dead and Next Iron Chef last night.
Once again Walking Dead takes an hour to tell a 20 minute story. Best part was when Herschel looks at Rick and says “I’m amazed you’ve survived this long”.
In terms of NIC, Alex is yuge drama queen.

Hell on Wheels is probably the best new show out there this fall. So far it has been excellent.
Well…let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks quite yet. AMC’s last two shows (Walking Dead and The Killing) each started strong and either puttered out or crashed to the ground.

November 15th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
I hope I can catch it on ESPN3. Belmont is usually pretty good…may be a tough test for the Tigers.
November 15th, 2011 at 8:51 AM

on scripted television, or on news programs, or on the daily show?
November 15th, 2011 at 8:52 AM
Agreed.

The devastation on Michael’s face after that was great too.
Have Arkham City (fantastic), buying one (Skyrim), will rent one (MW3), will wait for roommate to buy the other (AC: Revelations).
Anybody else read that Charlie Strong blamed MW3 for his players not being ready?
November 15th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Yeah, I saw that on Twitter last night. I was waiting to hear another Big East coach come out and blame their conference’s woes on late night Angry Birds sessions.

because the non-black world is terrified to ask black people to refrain for using it, and everything about gays is sensitive.

i wish comedy central would bleep the nick swardson show. all 22 minutes of it.
November 15th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
I heard the n-word said by white people on Walking Dead and Hell On Wheels. Yet I was watching TJ Miller’s stand up special and “faggot” got bleeped (Comedy Central).
if TJ Miller had given you an n-word, it would also have been bleeped, because it’s unnecessary to say. On those other shows, it’s a way to indicate that the person is a bad guy (by having them say it), so they work it past the censors. Plus, they’re TV-MA.
And I’m sure comedy central doesn’t want gays and lesbians up their asses over something so stupid as a pejorative you can lip read.
November 15th, 2011 at 8:58 AM
It kinda sounds like you want both to be said on tv, I’m thinking it would probably be better if neither were.

Saw Belmont play at Duke Saturday night. Belmont gave the Dukies all they could handle (1-point Duke win, although a Belmont player hit a three just prior to the buzzer)
November 15th, 2011 at 9:10 AM
Anybody else think Matt Flynn is going to be starting the last 3-4 games after the Packers clinch home field?
no. They’ve expressed a desire to take a shot at undefeated, and there’s so many records to shoot for, and there’s all the good teams that take a long time off and then go 1 and done in the playoffs because they’re rusty. I’m sure Rodgers plays all of them, especially if they don’t lose.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
That, plus the fact that the Packers play Chicago and Detroit in the final two weeks, so there may be playoff implications there. Remember last year, the Bears went out to beat the Packers during Week 17 to keep them out of the playoffs.
Rodgers will be in there for some portion of the final games of the season.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:11 AM

re: Matt Flynn … GB only up 1 game in the home field department ,,, granted, i dont even think they’d need homefield in the NFC.
Packers are a lock, unless Rodgers gets hurt.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:13 AM
My other thought is that the Packers don’t want to advertise Flynn for his upcoming free agency.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:13 AM

So my one fantasy league (10 team) requires 2 QBs. I’ve been using Schaub/Cassel all year (don’t laugh – I’m in 1st place), but now I’m obviously screwed.
Most teams keep 3 QBs on their roster, so there is only dregs on the waiver wire. I have C. Palmer to fill in one slot. Which is my best option going forward? Bradford, Palko, Leinart, Grossman, Kolb, or Gabbert.
/leaning Bradford or possibly Leinart (after the bye)
//don’t lecture me on being in a 2 QB league
November 15th, 2011 at 9:16 AM
I don’t know of all time, but 2011 Rodgers vs. 2007 Brady, I’d go Rodgers.

The Rick Perry moment was worse because of the stage on which it occurred, but the Cain gaffe is equally as hilarious. I watched the Perry one and felt bad as in my opinion he simply had a brain fart, whereas I got the impression that Cain honestly had no clue how to answer a question on Libya. Dude is a complete fool in regards to anything outside of the marketing realm.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:18 AM
Will never be the GOAT. He’s already old (relatively) and his window is too small.
That being said, he might have the greatest single season of all time this year.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
Ok, if we’re just talking about best ‘year’s thats fine, but that’s not what I”m hearing.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:19 AM
Roeth, best option going forward is probably just week-by-week basis with best matchup. Doubt anyone else is going to grab any of those guys since they already have 3 QB’s.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Why would anybody do that? You’re clearly wise enough to play in a challenging league.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
Also. THE SEASON IS ONLY HALF OVER. Cripes. Instant reaction society gone overboard. Brady really fell off the last 6-7 weeks of that season.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I’d like to see him get an opportunity elsewhere. A very very limited sample size, but the throws he made last night were on the money and he can move in the pocket.
I never thought Matt Flynn would be a better backup option than Brohm. One of Thompson’s few misfires.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:20 AM
That’s the most I’ve heard (the best year’s), but I really don’t bother reading/listening to ESPN much.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:21 AM
My other thought is that the Packers don’t want to advertise Flynn for his upcoming free agency.
Why not? They’ve got their QB. The way I see it, they’d just be increasing his trade value.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
Out of that mess I guess I’d go with Leinart. Nobody is going to threaten his job. Palko won’t be playing long before Stanzi has the reins.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:22 AM
Rogers has great weapons, if only Sanchez had receivers like that…..
November 15th, 2011 at 9:23 AM
Feel bad for Schaub. But man, the AFC is wide open.

November 15th, 2011 at 9:25 AM
Agree with most of this. So far its Rodgers but he has some more difficult opponents on the horizon. But I would say Rodgers is more impressive right now because he does not have one of the greatest WR’s ever.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
It’s the Blake Lively of conferences.
I have no desire to have hot sex with the AFC though.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:26 AM
It really is funny that nobody in my 10-team league has never even picked Sanchez up as a backup this season.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:28 AM

i guess he is by default. he should’ve quit the game after Blueprint II and strictly stuck with business interests elsewhere.

Speaking of fantasy, I hope you all listened to Matthew Berry last week and started Tebow over Brady. Or not.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Out of that mess I guess I’d go with Leinart.
Might want to wait until after the Jaguars game.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:29 AM
I will be interested in how he plays. He really did not get much of a fair chance in Arizona. Whiz just did not like him. Maybe there was some locker room issues but he did alright when he played under Dennis Green(sanchize like rookie year), until a lineman landed on his collar bone.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:30 AM
I’ll just stick with Rodgers and another 28 points of his last night.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Agreed. Brady hasn’t really been able to handle the winter elements as he’s gotten older. Probably why the Pats have flamed out in the playoffs so much of late.

i saw that. i’m not crazy about it. maybe it’s b/c i’m tired of my teams making these sorts of offseason changes just to stoke fan interest, yet do little or nothing to address their level of suck.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:49 AM
It’s our office league – prior to this year we only had 8 teams so the 2 QB actually worked out well and helped separate the teams. But, we had some new hires that wanted to play, so we expanded to 10 (but failed to reduce the roster stuff). Next year we’re definitely dropping back to 1 QB if we have 10 again.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:49 AM

Nasty Nas was incredibly wrong. For all the shit that people give radio, the radio sucks. No one listens to the radio anymore. There is a bunch of “good” rap out there. Shit, J. Cole moved 270,000 units with hardly any commercial appeal at all. Him and Wale have been making a mixtape assault over the past couple of years that would have made 90s rappers seem lazy. And I think Eminem’s biggest contribution lately has been investing in all the Slaughterhouse guys.

I fell asleep before the Sandusky interview but heard some of it on the radio this morning. I’m no lawyer, but I would suggest to anyone being accused of child molestation to answer emphatically, “NO WAY!” when asked by someone if you’re sexually attracted to young boys.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:52 AM
I like it on the hats instead of the actual bird logo. No opinion on the jerseys yet since I haven’t seen them. Now the AL East just needs the Jays to go back to the Joe Carter uniforms and that division will have some great unis going on.

Andre 3000 has now done a verse on both Lil Wayne’s and now Drake’s latest album. Both times, and this is no indictment of the other two, they have been the best verses on the album. Outkast really needs to stop holding us hostage.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:54 AM

I don’t think you guys have the cap space for Manning’s enormous contract, do you? You’d have to find a taker for Sanchez first, and even then I think you’d be humping the cap.

Female pop stars are quite the paradox. I would imagine their largest audience is tween girls, yet they seem to market themselves to 18-30 year old men.
November 15th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
It wasn’t even the hesitation, it was that he re-asked the question two times before answering! He was like, “am I SEXUALLY attracted to young boys? Am I sexually attracted to young boys. Um. I would say I enjoy spending time with young children but no, I don’t think I’m sexually attracted to them.”
Ew. Ew. Ew.
Also, McQueary’s lame attempt to tell people he made sure to do something about the abuse is too little, WAY too late.

It’s almost as good as his answer on Health Care systems.

So I’m starting to think of Sandusky like a smirking serial killer in one of those shite CSI shows.
He named his book Touched
The bible verse that contains his charity name states “do not resist an evil person”
He repeatedly committed his crimes in public and having been caught kept committing crimes in public.
It was like he was daring people to confront him and no one did.

I’m curious to see, when full testimonial transcripts are provided or occur at a later date, what exactly happened when McQueary caught him. For some reason I think the public knows very little about the events of the incident and has (possibly) rushed to judgment on McQueary.
/then again, maybe he did nothing but yell “Knock it off”

But we’re not talking about them. And even when those guys were out, hip hop “wasn’t nearly as good as it used to be”. We’re comparing the newer good rappers to the “golden age” of hip hop. There seems to be this ongoing narrative that Hip Hop is always decreasing in actual content. I think it’s a fictitious claim. No one ever gave the Lox and 50 the credit they deserved for putting out shit loads of music. Just said they were crappy. I like to think otherwise, but, you know… it’s easier to say something sucks than give credit where credit is due.

Really quick comment on Sandusky interview before I have to run.
Lester Munson was on Sirius Mad Dog Radio this morning, and he was outstanding. Basically saying that Sandusky’s lawyer is an idiot for letting his client do the interview, there’s likely lots of details in the Grand Jury testimony that we don’t know, so let’s hold off on crucifying McQueary until later, and the sexually attracted to little boys answerwill most definitely come back to haunt him.
November 15th, 2011 at 10:14 AM
What made me really sick to my stomach is Sandusky’s lawyer saying they have found the boy in question from Mcqueary’s story and that he will deny anything happened. So, super, you found the kid, but wont tell the police who he is, and you get to be the only one talking to this kid and possibly threatening him?
November 15th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
I believe that if they’re going to be using the victim as a witness, they have to disclose all his details and their interactions with him.
November 15th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Cutler’s best QB rating this season would be Rodgers’ second worst…if only the latter had a strong running game to lean on too to take some of the pressure off while relying on a backup LT
November 15th, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Jermichael Finley and Donald Driver were really impressive last night. At least 4 really nice catches on woefully underthrown balls. Especially that one where Driver went over the top of the DB. Not sure there’s a better receiving cast out there in football.
November 15th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Whoa whoa, wait a second. So we’re not going to crucify McQueary even though he witnessed the incident and didn’t take the child out of the situation or call the cops, but we’re going to crucify Joe Paterno for hearing the story second hand and only telling his superiors of the incident? Give me a break.
November 15th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
It was nice to see the Defense get a shutout after they were dragged through the mud the last few weeks. I’m not going to hold the 7 MN got against them after Cobb gave the ball up on his own 15 yard line.

ENOUGH WITH THIS FUCKING OUTRAGE! I’m so sick of this story. Sandusky’s a creep. He’s going to have a rough last few months/years in jail. The situation was handled poorly.

First off, I’m not crucifying JoePa, so don’t put words in my mouth. I’ve been mostly on the fence about his involvement in this issue and the subsequent witch hunt.
Secondly, whether or not McQueary took action is exactly the kind of details that may emerge in the full testimony. Or they may not, and in that case he should go to jail for not filing a police report.

The two best QB’s in the game right now both grew up idolizing Joe Montana. You look at Rodgers play in this system where he is making every pass on the money, and hitting his third or fourth option, and he looks like a bigger, stronger Joe Montana.
November 15th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Can’t count Dominator with those 25 total games played in the best sweater in the game. I’d go Tony-O, Glenn Hall and Eagle. Hall’s record for consecutive starts is more unbreakable than Cy Young’s win record.
