How was that throwing him under the bus? Saying that he was sad but not surprised that a former player with discipline issues continued on that path?
February 10th, 2012 at 8:09 AM
No surprise on Gonzaga beating St. Mary’s. K2 is one of the toughest environments to play in the country.
Cankles!
The Phoenix Open is legend… wait for it… dary. Been there 4 different times and it was that good each and every time. It’s a must stop for the single, nightlife, semi-golf kinda guy.
LaMarcus Aldridge is probably the most underrated player in the Association.
That’s a good look on what 4 team playoffs would look like in college football. It almost makes too much sense.

The Waste Management Phoenix Open has these girls working on the course. Make sure to scroll down.
I made sure I scrolled down. The talent was average to slightly above. Not too swift, though. This quote had me laughing:
(Kristin Dishner has been playing golf since she was 7.
What does she want to be when she grows up? “A mom.”)
Lessee, a half-finished bottle of Jack in one hand, some other brown adult beverage in another, and she wants to be a mom? Ya mean like “Mommie Dearest”?

He’s the weatherman for the TV station in Alpena, Michigan. There’s a good chance no one has seen a minute of his weather report.
Is Tom Brady’s sister attractive? I have the sneaking suspicion Tom got all the looks and athletic ability in that family.

Yeah Stabbin had that weatherman up. Lots of strong work there.
“Larry Birds and Patrick Ewings all over the place.” Also, Smurf reference. If he could deadpan the deilivery, it’d be even funnier IMO.

Fake tits? check
Ridiculous amounts of makeup? check
Trying to pretend they’re not in their 40′s? check
I guess they looked for women in golf’s age demographic but you’d think the golf people would know old men like to stare at girls in their 20′s.

Golf Channel really shit the best yesterday showing nothing but Ken Duke, Dustin Johnson, and Danny Lee. What a waste of airtime.

Before the season, I would have thought this was unlikely, now I think this is definitely going to happen. It better be Floyd, no more midget WRs.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:39 AM
that is admittedly the first interview I’ve read with a womens bball player, but she seems real intelligent.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:40 AM
She’s no model, but she’s more attractive than Youk. Yes, I realize that doesnt take much. The funny part is the Herald was reporting last fall that he was dating the other sister, Nancy. Now that story appears to have disapeared from the internets. Classic Herald, making up stories..

I like that dumbass weatherman. At least he isn’t trying to get me to look at his doppler all the time.
Of course, my favorite weather person of all time is Jen Carfagno on the weather channel. Two kids ago, she was some kind of delicious. She’s still grandfathered in as my favorite.

Meant to say “can’t”. Cold is an extreme understatement. Body goes completely numb is a good place to start. But even that doesn’t do justice.

I mean, I did the ice bath thing in college a few times after practice, and it always felt like I went through the stages of icing quickly. Immediately numb and soon after I was “fine”. However, I didn’t emerge from the water into another cold environment like you did.

A year after signing Stanford Routt to a 3-year, $31 million deal, the Raiders cut the cornerback.
that deal was about to get even worse than that if he was on the roster by Friday. Gross. Somebody did a smart thing by cutting him.

I can one-up that… My moron boss is putting a woman in the cube next to me (a cube that adjoins to mine with a half wall so that I can see everything she’s doing) that is in her 50′s and has been smoking probably since she was 13. She used to sit 4 rows of cubes away from me and I could hear her hacking, mucus-filled cough from my seat. She coughs up tar loogies about 5 times a day. I guess the only good thing is I’ll probably lose tons of weight since I’ll be constantly throwing up or having zero appetite.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
i work better in casual clothes. i never meet with customers or people outside my company unless it’s a business trip, dressing up for email and the phone was pointless. glad management finally saw it that way.

Good lord that is brutal.
I hate wearing business casual clothes. There is no formal dress code here, but I’m sure if I went full casual somebody would say something. Do the same thing as you, when I have a meeting or something important I will make sure I look nice (relatively). Never have to wear a tie. Weird thing is working side by side with older ladies here who never come close to business casual and coaches that pretty much just wear team gear all the time you almost feel out of place wearing a button down and pants.

I used to work in the same office as a guy who would chew gum like a cow with his mouth open. He would leave the pack of gum on his desk and when he would leave the office I would toss his gum in the trash. The guy never learned though, everyday he would have a new pack of gum.

Forgot to get a photo of the menu though. It was delicious as usual. $25 and we ate like kings.

February 10th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Wisconsin man has .559 BAC.
“In 1995, a man in Wrocław, Poland, had a car accident. At the hospital, his BAC was determined to be 1.48%. Concerned that their equipment was malfunctioning, doctors also performed five separate lab tests, all of which confirmed the man’s blood alcohol content. He died a few days later from wounds from the car accident. Police were baffled as to how an individual could attain such a high blood alcohol. Later, police discussions with his brother in-law revealed that he had “beer bonged” pure grain alcohol allegedly stolen from his place of work, a chemical plant.[42]
In December 2004, a man was admitted to the hospital in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, after being struck by a car. After detecting a strong alcohol odor, doctors at a hospital conducted a breath test which displayed the man’s blood alcohol content at 0.914.[43] The man was treated for serious injuries sustained in the crash and survived.[44]
In February 2005, French gendarmes from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, conducted a breath test on a man who had lost control of his car. He had an alcohol content of 0.976.[45] He was not injured in the accident but was charged with a €150 fine and his driving license was canceled.
There have been reported cases of blood alcohol content higher than 1.00. In March 2009, a 45-year-old man was admitted to the hospital in Skierniewice, Poland, after being struck by a car. The blood test showed blood alcohol content at 1.23. The man survived but did not remember either the accident or the circumstances of his alcohol consumption.[46] One such case was reported by O’Neil, and others in 1984. They report on a 30-year-old man who survived a blood alcohol concentration of 1,500 mg/100 ml blood after vigorous medical intervention.[47]
In 1982, a 24-year-old woman was admitted to the UCLA emergency room with a serum alcohol concentration of 1.5 (1510 mg/dL). She was alert and oriented to person and place (reported in The Lancet, Dec 18, 1982, p. 1394). Serum Alcohol Concentration is not equal to nor calculated in the same way as Blood Alcohol Content.[48] (By conversion using BAC=SAC/1.14, this would correspond to a BAC of 1.33.[49])
In South Africa, a man driving a Mercedes-Benz Vito van containing 15 sheep, allegedly stolen from nearby farms was arrested on December 22, 2010, near Queenstown in Eastern Cape. His blood had an alcohol content of 1,6 g/100 ml. Also in the vehicle were five boys and a woman who were also arrested.[50]
In Poland, a homeless man was found sleeping half-naked on January 28, 2011, in Cieszyn. His blood had an alcohol level of 1.024%. Despite the temperature of −10 °C and extremely high blood alcohol content the man survived.[51]“

yeah, and more and more people are smoking the really cheap, disgustingly smelling cigarettes. apparently in a car with the windows rolled up.
when i did smoke it was outside or in an extremely well ventilated car, didn’t smell all that much since i kept it from my parents in high school.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Hope they win tonight. Crawford back in net because apparently Joel is faulting Razor for the six 2 on 1 breaks he faced (stopped five) on Tuesday against Colorado.
The lines were so jacked up in practice yesterday that I haven’t paid attention to any Blackhawks news since then. If he skates them tonight like he had them in practice yesterday, then I’m getting out my razor and saying it’s time to start thinking about shaving the stache from this team.
Can’t keep running the same system and simply juggling your lines. It’s not changing anything.

I keep telling all new fans to either picks Spurs or City. After this week though, City is the smarter choice.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
I usually recommend Spurs to anyone who asks. Or a team with an American, like Fulham or Everton.
February 10th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
No, I don’t. One of the beat reporters had a tweet yesterday that said something along the lines of a notoriously private organization airing their dirty laundry in public is absurd. Quenneville’s seat isn’t hot but someone else’s might be. She then deleted the tweet.
If Stan Bowman’s seat is hot then the organization has a problem. He’s done nothing wrong. Got them out of salary cap hell and fielded a solid team. It’s not his fault his coach is misusing the pieces he was provided. I’ll be the first to say that Quenneville has done a miserable job coaching this year. Dressing Scott over Lepisto at any time, forward on the point of the powerplay, skating Keith 30 minutes on some nights, forcing Montador to skate on his off-side with Leddy, juggling his lines like he’s playing Boggle and sending out Marcus Kruger 2 days after a concussion to get pulverized then continuing to play him after he’s clearly shaken up.
Joel Quenneville has done a terrible job this year. This isn’t a reaction to the losing streak either. He’s been an awful hockey coach and the evidence is everywhere.

Well this is unfortunate.
