I don’t trust this journalism any further than I can throw it. It’s probably ghost written by Coach K.

“Thieves Swipe Hundreds of Pounds of Frozen Meatballs” …
Guilty confession: I’d rather have frozen meatballs than what you’d get from an Italian ristorante. That said, I’d never get meatballs at an Italian place anyway.
At college guys broke into a Wendy’s cooler and got like a half ton of meat.

Not sure what “best win” means. I was there when we beat #1 Michigan in 76-77 I think. We also knocked off top-ranked Pitt a coupla’ years ago.
January 11th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
smart kids become heavier drinkers because they realize they can be funcitonally retarded (i.e. a drunk) and still excel in this spoon-fed retard world we live in.

January 11th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
I cannot stand Tebow’s overt religious messaging, the overpraising of his talent by the sports media, or his robotic responses to basic questions, but dammit if he isn’t a hell of a nice human being.

never from there, but ive bought from knetgolf.com.
those are some damn good deals tho…might have to start stocking up tho i haven’t decided on what type of ball im gonna play in 2012. not sure if i wanna stick with the penta.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
I would have gone with a threesome in the oval office, but whatever floats your boat.

you ever buy from lost golf balls?
A few years ago Golf Digest took hundreds of golf balls, immersed them in water and then put them in regridgerators at 40 degrees and left them for a year. Distance loss is 2-3%.

When is the Jets post? Way too much going on for there not to be one. Unnamed sources saying Sanchez “showed us what he’s capable of” and “he thinks he’s improving but he isn’t”, plus all the rumors surrounding Sparano and Haley.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
interesting…i figured it’d be a lot more than that.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
It was a glorious morning to wake up and see that the JayPa reign of terror is over.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
Bought from them many times. AAAA is the way to go. The balls are never pristine (buy AAAAA for that) but if you golf a lot and lose pills, it’s hard to beat.
Last year I got 200 ProV1 AAAAs for $100 shipped. Sure, every 3rd ball has a scuff or player’s mark, but they play just fine. I don’t notice much performance difference from a new one I find in the weeds.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
He decided to play tight end?
January 11th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
yeah I can too. If you’re driving it 275 then that’s less than 10 yards. I shined my golf shoes and cleaned out my bag this weekend. Took all my best ones out of the bag so I don’t get suckered into using them on a sloppy day in the spring.

I can’t watch the first dog video. Second is way cute!
January 11th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
The only other place I’d buy used is Dr Mulligan’s. He’s a little pricey but the balls look brand new (no occasional scuffs, even).
If you’re not sure about the Penta, try the ZStar or regular old ProV1. I’ve really liked the 20XI balls that I’ve found, too.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:15 AM

January 11th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
you can always use the busted ones for practice balls or “carefree’s.”

i LOVE the penta, just want to try new stuff. not a big srixon fan and if i switched, id probably go to the prov1x.
20xi’s feel any different? i hate nike balls, but don’t these have a different cover (i know it’s got a new core)?
January 11th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
It was a big sale + stacked coupon deal at lostgolfballs
Find that link above and they have some really good deals on their AAAA balls. For $10/dz the ProV’s are a great deal IMO.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
it goes hand in hand on a team sport like this, but I seriously doubt we’re talking about a dramatic win over the Jets if Vonn Miller didn’t commit crimes against humanity with that Jets offensive line.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM

Why does everyone love Sparano? He was never even an offensive coordinator.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
While I’m glad PSU will (hopefully) have a better offensive mind in charge of developing QBs, it should be said that Jay Paterno handled himself quite well during this scandal and there aren’t too many better examples of what it means to be a member of the PSU family. No one would have blamed JayPa for lashing out at the media after that irresponsible jihad against his family, but he was always the consummate professional. I hope he does well somewhere else.

January 11th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I thought it felt different than the One Tour. I thought the One Tour was a pretty good ball, but the 20XI is more ProV than the One Tour ever was. When they finally go on sale in the lost-n-found market I’m going to try a couple dozen.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
I wonder if Bill O’Brien actually interviewed Jay Paterno simply so he could point at him and laugh.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
It was a glorious morning to wake up and see that the JayPa reign of terror is over.
Someone on here had a good comment last night saying that JayPa’s best pupil is currently a RB and special teams player in the NFL.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
Think he was co-OC/Asst. Head Coach in Dallas.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Oh, and I meant to mention the B330S earlier as a ball that is tits.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Plenty of goats to scape, Rex and his GQ boy will be removed and Tim Tebow or Colt McCoy will be in place running an offense set up by Wade Phillips.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
much appreciated.
just as i was getting on the “fuck nike golf” bandwagon, they go and release their current lineup. solid all around. heavily considering their wedges in 2012.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
No need for Jay to lash out. That’s what Scott Paterno was for.
The emphasis, for me, is on “somewhere else”.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Hence why I didn’t watch it. I am having a bad day already.
January 11th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
absolutely…just can’t get good deals on em. i was doing buy 2 doz get 1 doz free of pentas all year. callaway i(s) aint bad either, but it’s def got a “synthetic” feel to it, for lack of a better word. i like the performance of em, but hate the feel.

January 11th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Well, he gets rescued and taken to the vet in the end.

They aren’t making the playoffs.
For as good as Shero is at his job, the organization has failed in that they only have one legitimate top six winger in the entire organization. The only forwards with trade values are Staal and Neal, and neither should be moved. They could trade parts of the defense, but Z and Martin’s contracts aren’t friendly to move.
You don’t win with a collection of third/fourth line wingers passed off as supposedly talented offensive players. They’re a mess. The team also looks to have completely given up and only Malkin is trying anymore. A RUSSIAN IS THE ONLY ONE TRYING.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
browns and bills don’t belong on there because the hornets and raiders should be.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Pirates have decent young players and fan support exists but it is just jaded. Columbus has no talent and no fans. Probably a worse franchise decision than giving Florida or Phoenix teams.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Islanders have won 4 in a row over the Wings. somehow.

False about the CBJ. They sold the place out for about 6 years before everyone just got tired of them being terrible year in and year out.
MacLean sold the original owner a bag of goods and doomed the franchise early. Since then, they have hired incompetents and idiots to ruin what was a great fan base.
Now? It will take some heavy duty efforts to get people back. Winning will do it, but it will take sustained (2+ years) success to win people back.

The Islanders are poorly run, for sure. Charles Wang has crippled a once proud franchise to the state of a paraplegic. Still think the Jackets are a quadriplegic. Once the Isles get a new arena and he sells, they’ll be fine. With the Jackets, I’m not sure even firing Scott Howson will fix them. They literally have only one valuable part (Rick Nash) and he’s completely given up on them. I can’t say I blame him though.
He’ll care again in about 4 weeks when he’s a Maple Leaf.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
The Blue Jackets are terribly run — they get killed by Nationwide Insurance on the lease and lost millions of dollars each year. The team sucks and no one in the city cares about them.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
God, we can hope. United is the worst. THE WORST.

They renegotiated that lease last summer for very very favorable terms.

Carryover from the Chill and new arena impact (Nationwide is great though, and SO fucking cheap to attend). Still never should have gotten a franchise.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:11 AM

I stand corrected — when I lived in Columbus (2004-2008) the lease was of much discussion.

That is easily a top-5 all-time Simpsons episode. Homer, if you could kill someone on your way out, it would help me out a lot.
The funny thing about the Broncos gag is that in aired halfway through the ’96 season when the Broncos went 13-3 and should have won the Super Bowl (fuck the Jaguars) and then went on to win in ’97 and ’98.
January 11th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
The Oilers are not more poorly run than the Jackets. They have stockpiled young talent now and the only reason they got set back a few years ago was because they made a Cup run with a marginal team.
Rexall needs to be replaced but otherwise I think Tyler Dellow’s propaganda is getting to you, Geez.

This place is a gold mine for a franchise, if well run. Especially in comparison to Carolina, Tampa, Miami, Phoenix.
There are hockey heads everywhere in this town (many are transplants from elsewhere). There is now hockey everywhere for tikes through high school, and it is still booming.
But, the city is used to successful teams (see OSU – jokes aside), so the expectations are there. The ability of the front office is not and never has been.
And Chill carryover? Meh. That was minor league and only brought about 4000 a night. The folks here will follow a better team – hell just a team that is decent for that matter. The product is just embarrassing.
I can barely watch now because I get too pissed at watching 3rd period blown leads and low minor league goaltending and good players who have quit.

Spencer – I saw an episode of Cats 101 that featured the Savannah and they showed a family who built a sun room for their Savannah so it had it’s own area for jumping and climbing. They had to fence in the whole room because it could jump so high. The cat got out once and people in the neighborhood started calling Animal Control saying a cougar was in their yard. A neighbor saw the cat and it meowed at him and did the normal cat rub-against-your-leg thing and the guy knew it was actually someone’s cat and not a wild cougar.

Fun facts.
The hammock district bit was an ad-lib by Albert Brooks (the outtakes for which were not included on the DVD extras, because the producers are now fucking incompetent).

January 11th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
Eh. He was the best part of the movie for sure, but I don’t think they would have let Scorpio be the main focus. That movie was first and foremost a way to cram as many celebrity appearances in as possible and the one actual funny guy they used would have been the afterthought.
