Roundup: State of Ohio Well Represented in the Sweet 16, RIP Sportswriter Furman Bisher & Video of a Nasty Baseball Collision
Shay Mitchell … RIP sportswriter Furman Bisher … mom saves daughter from shark attack in Florida … that’s a great newspaper correction … “Police tell Twitter that missing girl is safe before telling mom” … because you guys can’t get enough of the “teen bride” … on the Tyler Clementi verdict … downtown Indy was a war zone Saturday night … weatherman sues CBS for hiring hot chicks … nice but sad story about a New Jersey boxer … “Tables turn on mom who complained daughter was stripping” … a profile of Robert Bales, the Sergeant who killed 16 Afghan civilians …

Magic Johnson, adulterer.
/fixed for accuracy
March 19th, 2012 at 8:26 AM
A hard sell on Ryan Tannehill as a 1st round QB prospect.
I don’t think he makes it to double digits.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:27 AM
For all the craziness of the opening weekend, a chalk bracket would have you in real good shape right now.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:28 AM
I know……
/gently weeps and rips up bracket.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:30 AM
nearly every dude on earth who gets the chance, and probably every rich guy everywhere
Magic Johnson,adulterer./fixed for accuracy
Magic Johnson is the only guy you’ve ever heard of that ran around on his wife?
March 19th, 2012 at 8:30 AM
i hate bracektology. why no boss, i don’t want a 20 min breakdown of your bracket after the first weekend.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
I had NC State and Ohio in the Sweet 16…but also had Memphis, LBS, Missouri, and Murray State there, too. So my entire West is done.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
If Baylor and Wisconsin win, I pretty much lock up both of my bracket groups.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
Do I need to make a 30/30 movie about it on ESPN?? “The Announcement”. Give me a freakin’ break.
I know there lots of guys cheating on their wife. I’m not claiming to be all above this or Mr. Morality, but do I need an ESPN mini-movie about it?
When the commercial came on TV about it, all my boy said was “cheater”. And I said, “What, in basketball?” and he said, “No, he cheated on his wife”. I just smiled.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:39 AM
magic was married for the first and only time in 1991. he was one of the few guys who tried to get it all out of his system before marriage. unfortunately, that came at a price …
March 19th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
Do I need to make a 30/30 movie about it on ESPN?? “The Announcement”. Give me a freakin’ break.
I didn’t watch it, but I don’t think the show as about his adultery. I think it was about the impact he had on the perception of HIV/AIDS in America, because he wasn’t someone that 100 million people could shun at once.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
For the golf heads…Adidas/TaylorMade is going to be buying Adams Golf.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
Are you positive?
At this point I’m just cheering for everyone to lose every game.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
That weatherman that is suing because he keeps getting passed over for jobs??? Wow. It’s TV…it’s entertainment…it’s the frigging weather. That’s like an ugly actress trying to sue movie studios because Rachael McAdams gets a role she tried out for.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:43 AM
Normally I’d say our internet sleuths should find the pics of the daughter. Then I saw the pics of the mother. Yikes.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
magic married on sept. 15, 1991 … the announcement was on nov. 7, 1991.

It was a GREAT weekend for old Conference USA! 3 teams still alive. Not so great a weekend for vintage Big East.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
im sorry, but as crazy as this guy is, he’s got technology. joe kittinger is still the ultimate badass of jumping out of really high shit.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
I dont get this hate at all. Magic could have kept his mouth shut. Instead he came forward and changed the world’s perception of AIDS/HIV. At the next Olympics, he was the most popular athlete there – not M.J. He was the line of public awareness change in a gloabal pandemic.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
but cool story…ill def read.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:47 AM

“The high-flying act is just a dress rehearsal for Baumgartner’s ultimate goal: to jump from an altitude of 23 miles, a free fall that will take him past Mach 1.”
What could go wrong? I’m assuming Red Bull’s PR agency is working overtime crafting the “we were only a minor sponsor of the crispy grease spot” message.

March 19th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Four sweet sixteen teams in a down year for the conference is clearly a disaster.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:50 AM
It’d be sad if the Adams line was retired. I hope it’s not botched like the Hogan line of clubs.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
I fucking hate TaylorMade. I feel like they’re trying to ruin golf for the average hack with 47″ drivers, white heads, and 83 releases per season.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
No you don’t, because no one would care. Magic Johnson on the other hand was one of the most popular athletes in the world who caught a virus everyone at that time looked at as a death sentence. By the way, Magic got married 2 months before the announcement.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
re march madness… i also don’t get people who feel the need to highlight the correct picks in one color and the wrong ones in a different. haven’t you heard of the internet?
March 19th, 2012 at 8:52 AM
if nike were smart, they’d pay callaway a bunch of money for the hogan name and make their irons and wedges under the hogan name seeing as a lot of old hogan golf employees work for nike.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
The Tannehill thing interests me. I found interesting the comment that as a two year starting receiver and 1.5 year starting QB in a pro-style offense he has as good an understanding of offense as any prospect in the draft. As a Dolphin fan I’ve gone from “please no” to “hmmm???”
March 19th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
No – they missed a regular ol push off. They can’t go back and call that one retroactively after review (unlike the flagrant).
March 19th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
where the hell is Breesus to tell us that that angry, gay, discriminated against weatherman is being represented by Gloria Allred in his lawsuit?
March 19th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
Lot of bad end of game execution over the weekend. Led to a lack of buzzer beaters because just about every team ran horrible plays at the end. Purdue….oof…..what an unfortunate collapse.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
didn’t the Big East go 9-5 and place 4 teams (Syracuse, Marquette, Cincinnati, Louisville) in the Sweet 16?
It’s too bad South Florida melted down and Georgetown collapsed.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
Lot of bad end of game execution over the weekend. Led to a lack of buzzer beaters because just about every team ran horrible plays at the end. Purdue….oof…..what an unfortunate collapse.

Reuters on the Adams/Taylor Made deal
from the statement, they dissed Adams here:
“…combining Adams’ focus on game-improvement as well as senior and women golfers with TaylorMade-adidas Golf’s focus on the younger and the low-to-mid handicap golfer.”
…which represents a premium of approximately 71% to the share price prior to Adams Golf’s announcement that it was examining strategic alternatives on January 4, 2012.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
So, that’s to say he didn’t cheat on Cookie? I don’t know about you, but I was with my wife 3-1/2 yrs before I got married, so I’m pretty sure he screwed around her.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
I think the key word was Vintage. I’m guessing he was referring the old guard teams like UConn, G’Town, WVU, etc. that lost. Syracuse was only “vintage” team to advance.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Why?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
i like TM’s products a lot, but they can go fuck themselves as a company.

I would literally beat the crap out of that Chevy Volt guy. And how many times did I hear “is it March monotony?” before I could change the channel?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
So, that’s to say he didn’t cheat on Cookie? I don’t know about you, but I was with my wife 3-1/2 yrs before I got married, so I’m pretty sure he screwed around her.
but prior to marriage, that wouldn’t make him an adulterer, would it. Please feel free to refer back to comment #1, and feel free to issue a correction.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
SO the B1G and the Big East each got 4 teams into sweet 16?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
I can’t see the video, but I watched this game. We realize that this call was extensively reviewed by the refs, right? So no, a flagrant was not missed. It’s like Roeth said- could have been called a regular foul, but they can’t call regular fouls from reviews. Majerus lost a timeout for “challenging” the refs to review the play.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
eh, not really. I watched 5 seasons of painful Stan Heath basketball and I don’t wish any more of that onto anyone.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
In other words, Taylor paid a pretty penny for Adams Golf
March 19th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
I think a sensible approach to the conference evaluation is to look at # of teams in the conference, # of teams in field, # of teams remaining, Final 4 chances of the teams remaining – and the emphasis each conference puts on mens basketball.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
“NOOO!! It’s March MADNESS!!”
March 19th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
Touche.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
Thats alot different than your original assertion of adulterer, isn’t it? Be that as it may, he could only be considered cheating on Cookie based on Cookie’s perception of the relationship.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
NHL enforcer Paul Bissonnette is trying to be known as more than just a fighter.
Good luck with that Paul.
Bigger NHL story is the likely return of Alex Radulov to the Predators later this week.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
Should have been 5 for the B1G.
/pours one out for JPQ
March 19th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
Hats off to Mike the future intern for posting videos moments after games this weekend. Good on ya, man.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
A hard sell on Ryan Tannehill as a 1st round QB prospect.
hope whatever team gets him likes routes that are 15 yards or less, because he comes apart on deep throws.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
ah. Big East only had 2 in the Sweet 16 last year … but UConn won the title
March 19th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
i thought “the announcement” was really good, personally.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
Chicago – time. Plus the fact I didn’t pay attention to the NBA at all over the weekend. I’ll read up on what i missed today.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
you’re splitting hairs.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
So, that’s to say he didn’t cheat on Cookie? I don’t know about you, but I was with my wife 3-1/2 yrs before I got married, so I’m pretty sure he screwed around her.
now you are changing your argument. you called him an adulterer. that would be inaccurate. we don’t really know if he cheated. maybe he did. maybe he didn’t.
From a story on their marriage:
“The most magical thing about the wedding may be that it happened at all. Johnson and Kelly were engaged in 1986 and again in March 1990, but each time he broke it off. The last time he told the press he would not get married until he divorced himself from the game of basketball. That’s it, he said. ‘No more marriage. No more talk about it.’ “
March 19th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Fair enough, sir.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Bryce Harper will start the baseball season in AAA.
And, the Nats signed Xavier Nady to a minor-league deal yesterday. World Series, here we come!
/sarcasm light – switched OFF
March 19th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
I wouldn’t say that was a meltdown. The game was close throughout the 2nd half and then Ohio made a run. VCU, now that was a meltdown. They were up like 7 or 8 points with about 2 minutes left. Purdue, up 3 with a minute left and the ball and they choked it away.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
After ripping off the “speed slot” design, they probably owed it to them.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:09 AM
Have you ever been in a relationship with a woman? The typ woman is “in a committed relationship” after the 1st week. lol
March 19th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Walking Dead anyone?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Hmmmmm I wonder why, maybe it was all that HIV laden sex he was having with other women
March 19th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
They never really went downfield anyway. I would’ve liked to have seen him with a year of Sumlin under his belt. I feel like QBs (McGee, Johnson, then Tannehill) all regressed on Sherman’s watch.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
March 19th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
I liked it, there I said it. But Lori should have died in the barn fire. Fucking bitch.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
you’re splitting hairs.
no, I”m using the definition of the word to make a very clear distinction. Plus, the guy was making a pointless argument, and using that pointless argument to bash a documentary’s subject matter for no reason.
There’s no doubt Magic Johnson is a media mogul, which is what set him off in the first place. He wants Magic to be forever known as an “adulterer” first, and I have the crossouts to prove it.
But you can’t commit adultery on your girlfriend or your fiance. You can commit infidelity. So if he’d crossed out media mogul, and put in infidel, that would have been OK. And even funny.
But he trained his kid to say magic was a marriage cheater, as if he wouldn’t have a snack on a bite sized piece of pussy that showed up in his own face, free of charge.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
thomas robinson’s game gives me wood.
it certainly needs some refining, but he’s a monster.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
a profile of Robert Bales, the Sergeant who killed 16 Afghan civilians …
Read a profile on the guy this weekend. He was going thru some stuff stateside, but killing innocent kids? The report mentioned he set some bodies on fire – why the carnage???
Of course we don’t get the whole story, but this sounds horrible.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
If every episode was paced like that, the show would be phenomenal. I really don’t have any complaining, I really enjoyed it.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
i thought “the announcement” was really good, personally.
that’s because you too, have AIDS.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Very sensible, and I do agree with your larger point that the Big East is a fraud conference.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
WTH? One minute she is telling Rick that Shane is bad, the next she is looking at Rick like he is this awful guy because he had to kill Shane. I seriously had her. I hope her fetus dies and eats her intestines.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Same here, but at this point I think I’m just a homer for. Always willing to overlook its (usually massive) flaws.
I seriously can’t wait for Lori to get shot in the face, especially for how she reacted after Rick told her about Shane. Such a bitch.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Last I read, he was still “alleged” to have done this. But yeah, if it is true it is a damn shame. Every man has his breaking point though.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Hate her!
/Case of the Mondays
March 19th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Seriously. She should be the one massively apologizing to Rick for not bothering to watch her kid, who wouldnt have had to shoot zombie Shane if she was even slightly a good mother.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Walking Dead anyone?
I thought it was solid, better than expected. Lori’s outrage after Rick told her about Shane and Carl’s bitchfest on the highway were tough to stomach.
Daryl continues to kickass.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Yeah, I read that this weekend too. Did 4 tours, 20 commmendations, but you can’t go on a kill-spree like that. He gonna get a lot of servicemen killed over that.
This guys never going to see the outside of Leavenworth alive, I presume. And the Afghanis are kidding themselves if they think he’s getting turned over to them.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
This said, now that it looks like we’re *SPOILER* getting the prison storyline from the comic, Lori will probably be around for most of season 3.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
Walking Dead anyone?
The KU game was on, but it was early so I tried watching it. I gave up after seeing Andrea kill several zombies with a hand gun while the car she was in was sliding around and doing 360s. I know this is a show about zombies, but I can only release my suspension of reality so far. Also, the start of how all the zombies found the farm was probably written by a fifth grader. I will note it was interesting to see a helicopter.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Now this is something you’re wrong about. I never told my kid that, he came up with on his own. Never said a word about it. You see where I asked him why he called Magic that? He formulated that on his own.
As for snacking on a bite size, I have had my chances over the yrs out and about with friends while drinking/having a good time. I chose not to, a concious decision, though I cannot say the same about Earvin.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Agreed Lori is a massive bitch, but it’s just her character at this point. Notice way back when Shane pulled up to tell her Rick was shot, she was talking with her friend and saying Rick and her were having problems. She fucking sucks but I could see that happeneing to someone under those conditions. The great thing about the episode was that it didn’t spend 15-20 minutes of her wandering around and talking about. There was a farm full of zombies to worry about!
March 19th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
I dunno, they probably oughta be allowed to stone him to death if they please. He’s earned it.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
I seriously can’t wait for Lori to get shot in the face, especially for how she reacted after Rick told her about Shane. Such a bitch.
Don’t forget how she made the other girls wait until the last minute to look for Carl in the house, then floored it the hell out of there leaving Andrea to fend for herself.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
In case you guys want to see an advanced copy of The Hunger Games before it’s out in theaters
March 19th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
This is the best thing to have ever been written about The Walking Dead.
Also, loved everyone hanging out of a car going 15-20 MPH and still managing to get head shot after head shot. Rick trained them well.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
By pretty penny you mean $96 million? For Adidas, that’s nothing.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Stick to being a goofball on Twitter, Biz Nasty. He’s not even really an “enforcer.”
Since there’s no Ballin’ and I missed a lot of sports on Friday night, anyone care to dish on how the Bulls dropped one to the Blazer who had just fired their coach and traded Gerald Wallace? Somehow they came back and knocked off Philly despite looking terrible in the process on Saturday too.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
I think it was just to show how they group together and travel in herds. Granted it could have been done a lot better and really wasn’t necessary since they already established when they broke down on the highway that the zombies travel in herds.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
Hmmmmm I wonder why, maybe it was all that HIV laden sex he was having with other women
i challenge any man to claim they wouldn’t have similarly indulged had they been in Magic’s shoes.
i doubt anyone here could begin to imagine what magic’s life was like in the 80s.

They never really went downfield anyway. I would’ve liked to have seen him with a year of Sumlin under his belt. I feel like QBs (McGee, Johnson, then Tannehill) all regressed on Sherman’s watch.
i never understood why they didnt go downfield. they had fuller, and a few other pieces that could get open deep, especially against big 12 dbs. cant figure out if it was because tannehill couldnt make it happen, or the wrs just crapped out.

And the Afghanis are kidding themselves if they think he’s getting turned over to them.
If the State Dept ever, ever did something like that, DoD would go ballistic.
Usually, there is some sort of written policy (SOFA, for instance), that governs how our nation reacts when a service member is accused of a crime while deployed. It normally doesn’t include “turn the member over to the host nation”.

4 teams and a 9-5 record are nice, but on the whole I’m really impressed with the Big East tourney showing. Big Ten’s been a lot more impressive.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
As to the head shots, yeah it is slightly annoying. A few misses or hits in the chest instead of head would have made it better.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Heh, yeah, that was good stuff. Also loved how Herschel never had to reload his shotgun.

March 19th, 2012 at 9:25 AM
Fuller went from a 1st Rd lock to a 2nd day pick in 2011. Nobody knows what happened with him.
I never got the impression that the offense was designed for vertical passing. It was a spread power run offense with mostly sideline routes (square outs, bubble screens) meant to keep the defense stretched.
I saw Tannehill fit balls into some very tight windows on longer seam routes. He has the skills, but he needs two years holding a clipboard and a really good QB coach to bring him along.

March 19th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
SROD: aren’t you kinda glad Harper is getting a little more burn in AAA to start the year? Perhaps it’ll motivate him. He’ll crush competition down there and be up by May 15 at the latest. I like the call by the Nats.
/also makes him available later in fantasy

When you get the “Hey we’d like to have you come and go over something on your recent tests” call, that’s no good.
When that medication reaction shut off my white blood cell prodcution and landed me in the ICU, the doctors were “we’re going to do some more tests to rule out HIV & AIDS”. That was a fun 4-6 hours waiting for those results.

she’s got a really terrific backstory (apparently published in the latest issue of playboy, oddly enough) and is a pretty kick ass character, great addition to the show.

it’s a she and she’s probably the most badass character in the comic.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
I know absolutely nothing about guns, so during all these scenes I would ask my husband about that. Too funny. I also thought the same thing about the hooded person. Why the armless zombies?

It seems that season 3 will finally get into some of the storylines from the comics. Really good story lines.

ITs easy to gripe about the Walking Dead. I’m happy that:
A: something happened and they’re off the farm
B: it’s over for 6 months
C: TDogg showed a brief notion of some actual sense while Driving Miss Lori to the Piggly Wiggly
March 19th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
I didnt really understand why he wanted to drive to the coast?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
SC, some time in AAA won’t hurt Harper. And, if he comes up in June or after, don’t the Nats keep contractual rights to him one year further at the major league level?
Overall, I like the move, but I did want to see him take the field opening day, maybe get a few 0-4s, and really buckle down and focus on being a quality major leaguer and not just a celebrity.
Also, I want one of your shortstops for my Nats. I prefer Castro, but Ramirez is a pretty good player as well. Can ya help me?
March 19th, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Ha, and Rick still hasnt mentioned that one. Although it seems he likes to keep secrets until the exact right(wrong?) moment.
I think Daryl should get off that impractical and insanely loud motorcycle. If zombies are drawn to a helicopter at 3000 feet and a single gunshot, what’s to stop them from being drawn to his loud motorcycle?

Thee writers had to give him some sort of opinion I guess. It would be nice if they would also give him an actual name. I couldn’t help myself from laughing when Lori was still calling him T-Dog when she was yelling at him to stop the car. Sounded so ridiculous.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:33 AM
You say this like he’s not busting his ass. All the reports last year said he was working harder than all his teammates. That’s why he dominated at A/AA. Supposedly, Harper still needs some work on his off speed pitch recognition.
Be patient. He’s gonna be beastly.

Also loved how Herschel never had to reload his shotgun.
I counted six shots, but I started counting after I thought he should been out of shells which should have been five shots. It is just little things like this that just bug me.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
He was digging into his pockets for shells, more than once.
I don’t know why everyone was so freaking pissed about it. Daryl once again just said he trusted Rick and that was it. Great fucking speech by Rick at the end. Basically telling them all if they wanted to leave, go ahead (the “there’s the door” line was a little ridiculous considering they were outside). It seems that Rick finally gets it, and hopefully when they move onto the prison it follows the comics as many of you have said.

They showed him riding by them on the motorcycle. As long as he only keeps it on while he is riding it, it isn’t a problem.
As far as T-Dogg goes. I think he was just panicking, let’s go to the coast with white women. Don’t blame him for not wanting to go back into zombieville. I would have floored it as Lori jumped out of the car.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Overall, I like the move, but I did want to see him take the field opening day, maybe get a few 0-4s, and really buckle down and focus on being a quality major leaguer and not just a celebrity.
i was listening to yesterday’s game on the radio. Harper went 0-4 with 4 K’s. the last two were on 4 pitches. he was never close to being there opening day.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:39 AM

March 19th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I don’t protect a lot of the current Cubs but I will latch on to Starlin Castro like a mama bear over her cubs. You’ll lose limbs before you pry that guy from here.
The Missile? You can have him. I had such higher hopes for him and I’m not even a Sox fan. Especially defensively, I really think he’s capable of so much more there. Dude has a laser for an arm but he’s constantly air mailing throws over Konerko who is a pretty good 1B. If he can shake the slow starts he’s had over the last couple years he’d be a real asset at the plate for the White Sox though.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Watsonian, I have no doubt he is putting in work, and I am sure he has the hunger to get to the Show. But, I have seen so many highly-regarded prospects not pan out.
Lots of those other guys also had the hunger to succeed at the major league level. Whatever further seasoning he needs, get it.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Yeah everyone was being annoying at the end. Good for Rick for really taking a stand. It’s too bad his explanation for why he had to kill Shane was kind of ambiguous. His explanation privately to Lori was much better. All he really needed to say was that Shane killed the kid, then lured me out there and tried to kill me, and I killed him in self defense. Period.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
T-Dog! Stop the car NOW!
March 19th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
All the physical tools in the world aren’t much use unless he upgrades that 10 cent head of his. I think he’ll be a good ballplayer but he reminds me of one of these.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
SC, I watch the Sox sporadically. Ramirez has a live bat, for a smaller guy. Good range on defense, and you noted his arm.
Ian Desmond has a great arm also, and I definitely have watched him throw more than a few into the 1st base stands. And, Desmond isn’t as polished a hitter as Ramirez.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
I’m stunned the dude has not been arrested yet. How can it be self-defense when you stalk the dude and you have a weapon and he doesn’t?

March 19th, 2012 at 9:49 AM
Didn’t Daryl say something? Or was that earlier in the episode? I saw an interview with Robert Kirkman ***SPOILER***** and he said Merle, Daryl’s brother, is “probably” in season 3.
Maybe he’ll be the Governor? I could see that.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Bummer about Utley
March 19th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Went to the game. Caps have totally quit on Dale Hunter. Amazing to see a team that’s managed to quit on two coaches in one season. The roofjob that Ovechkin had on Crawford and the depantsing of Duncan Keith that he did to get there was impressive though.
Blackhawks are getting hot at the right time. Starting to put some distance between them and the 7-8 seeds. Only 4 points back of Detroit and Nashville in the central. Hoping they stick to the 6 seed because I want the Pacific division winner in the first round. Most importantly, I want my Captain back for Game 1 of the playoffs.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
Oh, I thought it was only the old lady or one other that they told. Not the entire group.
They told everyone who was in the room when they got back to the farm right at the beginning… not sure whom that entails, but I’m assuming it was most of them. Now, whether or not the group was smart enough to take this and deduct that shane wanted to lure Rick out there to kill him is another story.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
I’m not stunned he hasn’t been arrested, and I await the crowd who will make this guy a sympathetic figure, dirty the name of the kid, and blame Jesse and Al.

Jose, I wish we had hours to discuss your point. I’m sure walking around the Springs, whites here have “felt threatened” by my mere presence.
Does that mean I have to act like a clown to calm their fears? I’m just as free as anyone born in this country, but who’s to say some guy in my apartment complex won’t shoot me because he saw me walk to my garage after dark and he felt afraid?
Sadly, that is why I sing TOTO songs out loud sometimes when walking around. I’d rather them think I’m crazy than dangerous. Maybe they won’t shoot me if they think I’m crazy.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:53 AM

Haven’t read any part of the story, but Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the worst.

Logic and reasoning is not a strong point for this group.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
they’ve already cast someone else as the governor, but Merle as a leader in that group i could see.
interestingly enough, the comic doesn’t really find a groove until it gets to the prison. like all good zombie stories, it finally gets to lay out some social commentary that carries the non-zombie killing time easier to move along.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
nary a mention of the “teen bride” bikini pics while surfing?
Guess that means everyone is over her. thanks!
March 19th, 2012 at 9:55 AM

Michael Rooker!
Yeah, they’ve announced who was cast as the governor already and I don’t think it was the guy who played merle. I’m thinking Merle is just out there for a time when the writers need another story arc to fill some time down the road. They can always have him show up one day.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
My comment gotten eaten…weird. Anyway, Utley’s knees are done, might as well concede the East at this point. And Scott Elatron is the starter for today’s game. Ugh.

Hunter doesn’t actually do anything. he just stands behind the bench and chews gum violently.
Hawks looked good. i haven’t seen them play much this year, but they have really good spacing in the neutral zone.

No mention of Carol being her typical almost as horrible Lori self? I really wanted her dead. Her “I want a man with honor” comment to Daryl was so dumb.
Andrea is kind of growing on me a little though. Once she stopped feeling sorry for herself and told Lori what a bitch she was to her face I stopped hating her so much.

I met him once when we were pissing at adjacent urinals at a Frightened Rabbit concert at the Masquerade in Atlanta. We pissed, washed our hands, and dried our hands all at the same time. It was so gay of a moment that he called it out to me- “hey man we need to stop doing all this shit together, people are going to start wondering.” I responded by shaking his hand and telling him that I loved him in Cliffhanger and that he was a great actor. He was a really nice dude actually, and thanked me and jokingly said his favorite role was Jumper. The concert was awesome too.

March 19th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
The Sharks game is to throw anything at the net. That includes from the blue line at the half boards, at or below the goal line and flimsy 50 foot wristers that a goalie sees the whole way. They are always one of the leaders in SOG per game but the quality of the shots are poor most of the time.
Give me the Sharks. Hawks would have extra motivation too seeing as they’re the team that knocked the Captain out of the lineup. Again, I am never scared of San Jose come playoff time. Their window is quickly closing. Lots of old weight on that roster now.

The Sharks also play a faster game which benefits Chicago. Phoenix tries to gum everything up just like Nashville and that only frustrates the Blackhawks. LA is just a good team so I’d like to avoid them. Sharks v. Hawks in a 7 game series, I favor our puck possession team over theirs. Dallas would be ideal because, well, they’re just not that good of a hockey team.

Great pics. Where do you live?

early on they said they were sticking to that storyline, and if they don’t i’d be pretty pissed. it really changes things.

I think they already have to CGI a bunch of zombie-related stuff, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if they still get Rick with it.

I can see this, especially with the Coyotes. Canucks always have trouble with that. But then, they are having trouble with everyone these days so it doesn’t really matter who they’ll play. I’d like to see them avoid LA and Phoenix though – not good matchups.

we’ll see… I could see them doing it to T-Dog instead because he’s the one who dropped the key.

No. I want the Sharks or Dallas. Not Phoenix or LA. The Sharks have never, ever scared me in the playoffs. Ever.
Sharks have been incredibly unlucky to end up where they are. Don’t be fooled by their record, still one of the best possession teams in the league. I wouldn’t want them in the first round.

NW Jersey. The big one has been hanging out in the cornfield across the street for a few days now. I guess he didn’t like the look of me when I went to grab my trash bins this morning.

That one line in the commercial kept me away from that movie.

I heard some turkeys a few days ago for the first time at the house. We also had a rabbit take up residence in the garage this week and not want to leave, even after I put a loaded Glock in its face. Followed by some large salamanders (foot long) that apparently live near the stone wall, while the woodpeckers are going nuts on the cedar siding. We are under siege.

Should have chased him away with a cougar call.

He wrote that? Seriously? I could’ve done without that information.

I hope he didn’t. Black people need to hold other Black people to a higher standard

That made me laugh, and I am not apologizing.
“Shoot me, mofo.”
That is one bad-ass bunny.

Yep. Along with a guy who wrote Undercover Brother and Three Kings, both movies I enjoyed. And directed by a guy who was a director on The Wire and Treme.
Tons of promising black careers killed by George Lucas.

Dang it, Jose. You and me need to start a blog where we discuss this stuff.
You’re right on the point, but we definitely don’t do it as a people. It drives me crazy.

Wish they would start with Tyler Perry.

Aaron McGruder lost every single bit of credibility he had when he wrote Red Tails.
You never really know who wrote the dialogue, etc. 30-50% of every screenplay is turned over (at least) from the first draft. John Ridley got the story and screenplay credit so I’d guess he was the first draft. McGruder probably did a polish and had to fix some things. Wasn’t that movie geared to old people?

Pretty sure it was geared to black people.
