Roundup: Terrell Owens Cut By Indoor Football League Team, Gordon Ramsay Got Leveled in a Charity Soccer Match
Alison Brie…Romney has secured the Republican nomination. If you’re wrong, just yell it louder. Syrian diplomats have been expelled. Don’t post wads of cash on Facebook. Speaking of Facebook… Anthony Bourdain is moving to CNN. A six-year old competed in the spelling bee. Snake handling pastor dies from, wait for it, a snake bite. U.S. College Students spent $3 Billion on remedial courses. Saddam’s daughter wants to publish his memoirs. First look at Andre 3000 as Jimi. A Pizza delivery man crashed into a hearse.

May 30th, 2012 at 8:44 AM
I tried that. I looked up every code imaginable, spent 1 hour on the phone with the Comcast rep making sure I had every code, rebooted the cable box, etc. The remote works everything else just fine, but the cable box itself won’t respond to it. My best guess at this point is that there is something wrong with the signal receiver on the box.

The blood of bad basketball from 1999 to about 2008 must be shared by all parties involved. The quality of players just wasn’t there. Teams like the Nets, Pacers, or even Pistons wouldn’t sniff the Finals if they played during last two years.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
Its also why they have no chance of beating Miami. The Spurs scored what 37 that quarter? and gave up 32. Miami will D them up and knock them off. IMO

May 30th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Wow, NO CHANCE??!? Totally disagree. You are not giving Spurs offense the credit they deserve. They have shooters around the big 3 to space out the floor. Who’s guarding Duncan? Lebron and Wade might be able to somewhat neutralize Parker and Manu, but they’ll still get their numbers. No way are those two getting taken out of the game by the Heat.

I’ve watched that brand of basketball fail enough to not. If Duncan was more of a presence inside I think they might have a shot but Ibaka was making him look pretty pedestrian down low last night.

Ibaka is one of the better post defenders in the league. The Heat have nobody capable of doing that to Duncan straight up.

I was actually impressed with OKC’s ability to stay within striking distance. Durant scored the quietest 31 pts i’ve ever seen.
Amazing how the Spurs put up 120 without Duncan being any kind of factor offensively. Now the Thunder are going to try to go small (less Perkins) in G3 and Duncan will probably be more of a focal point.
The decision to bear-hug Splitter was a curious one b/c he’s not a horrible FT shooter, but it worked and almost gave them a chance down the stretch.

Having a lake house a couple hundred yards from a busy marina, I see a lot of stupid shit. This joker would be a top 3. Two favs…
3:30am, band is heading out from our marina bar and it’s a heavy rain storm. Drummers girlfriend is driving the equipment van (think A-Team van) and she doesn’t want to pay whatever for the bar’s cigarettes and drives to “the gas station she saw”. She drove down the boat ramp and floated towards the boat gas pumps “Marathon Oil” sign before completely sinking. We had a hell of a patio party the next day watching them find it and tow it out.
- Guy tows out his SeaDoo 16′ Speedster and doesn’t latch the winch, or put on the safety cable, unspooling it off the trailer as he pulled out of the water and straight away. He ground down the hull by the time he noticed it, in front of my house.

May 30th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
I just think Miami plays the best defense in the league and shouldn’t have a problem containing the Spurs. SA will probably take a couple games in the series just because they are hitting their outside shots but overall I just think Miami will grind them down.
I for one hope the Spurs win this year and I can wave goodbye to Pop and Duncan forever.

Durant scored the quietest 31 pts i’ve ever seen.
This is so true. Plus he looked so frustrated all night as Westbrook and Harden just drove the lane and refused to kick it out and instead threw up crazy shots in the lane. If you looked at his body language you would never guess he had 31.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
Ahh, Perkins. I wish I was 7 foot tall. Then I too could mean mug and act like all around badass and be known as a “defensive presence”. Then I could lure in one sucker NBA team and steal money from them. That guy is straight up garbage. Always was, and always will be.

YYSA – Dirt got a one week suspension about a month ago because TBL got offended by a post Dirt did and quickly retracted because it was clumsily done. Dirt hasn’t been back since even though he could if he wanted.
isn’t Duffy from Michigan? run down state & he is bashing the great state of Fl
Oh, but he lived in Isiah Thomas’ gated community so he is unaware of what the perception of Michigan is.

i would have added “East of Eden”,
That is exactly what I was thinking instead of Grapes of Wrath.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
That’s next on my read list. I brought the Postmortal on vacation with me over the weekend. It’s easy light reading and definitely held my interest.

Sort of. She was too drunk to notice the lake, but noticed the big gas station sign next to the dock’s fuel pumps. She just assumed it was a road to a mythical gas station that would have 50 cent cheaper smokes. Amusing thing is that the band is from the lake area, knows the bar really well they were playing at, and the marina’s channel and boat ramps dead end next to the bar parking lot. The band still plays there all the time.

Yikes, are you still crying over yesterday? If it makes you feel better, I apologize. You’re not Skip Bayless, you’re Stephen A. Contrarian with a not-so-subtle tinge of race-baiting. Are you happy now?

Damn, Gannett paywall started today. I need to find a way around that, stat.
Wait a couple weeks until they realize paywalls are a recipe for immediate failure.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:49 AM
That’s how I read it too. Should have just left her down there.

I would not include him in that. Harden was the most efficient guy on that team last night. The Thunder need to run the offense through him more often. Westbrook is really amazing at getting to the rim but he really kills a lot of possessions that way.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
The Things They Carried is more profound but Going After Cacciato is a better novel.

Harden was 10-13 and got to the line all night, i thought he played his best game of the playoffs. Westbrook was getting killed on Twitter last night, rightfully so. His shot selection was poor and he struggled to finish at the rim. In all fairness, the Spurs had him running an obstacle course at the other end.
The Thunder big men were very active on the offensive glass last night but none of them can finish. 4-18 between Ibaka, Perkins, and Collison.

A girl at the front desk of one of our office buildings has this sticker on her wall. She’s pretty hot but for some reason this makes her way more attractive to me.

Every time I see Don DeLillo I think Robert DeLeo.

They waited until
the next morningsober to call it in. Drummer dude was not happy as his van was towed out. Turns out a lotta muck pours out when your van is submerged in a muddy lake. Our drunk asses did not help his situation as the bar patio is 10 yards away from the ramp. “We all live in a yellow submarine” was a repeated sing-along he didn’t much enjoy.May 30th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
I’m about to embark upon The Leadership Challenge. I need a break from fiction.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
I know quite a few of you have read them, but I just started Game of Thrones. It’s not a surprise that the book is better than the show, but the detail is fantastic. Plus, you get a feel for how the families intertwine with each other from the books. If you are a fan of the show and haven’t read them, I’d recommend it. They read really quickly also.

Durant and Harden: 20-30
Rest of Team: 17-58
Derek Fisher should never be allowed to take 11 shots in an NBA game again.

Absolutely false in every way possible.

Baltimore Sun has had one in place for almost a year, and it’s not going anywhere. Everyone bitched and moaned (I was one of them) but apparently it’s working out fine.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Hilarious.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
i found east of eden slow when i first picked it up, but if you stick with it the story becomes very interesting after the first part.
Right now i’m reading “Red Mars” by Kim Stanley Robinson. about 100 pages in, easily one of the best and most approachable science fiction books i’ve read.
i equate it Red Mars to science fiction as game of thrones is to high fantasy genre

I would not include him in that. Harden was the most efficient guy on that team last night. The Thunder need to run the offense through him more often. Westbrook is really amazing at getting to the rim but he really kills a lot of possessions that way.
I didn’t mean to sound like I was killing Harden’s play last night. I just think they need to find Durant more often on kick outs when they drive into the clogged lane. Harden played great but he also helped take Durant out of the game (if that’s possible to say about a guy who scored 31). They both got into the lane well and Westbrook threw up some amazing shots and plenty of bad ones. They can’t win this series if Durant is not taking over and causing the Spurs to worry more about him. His presence was not felt at all and I think its partially Westbrook and Harden to blame.
May 30th, 2012 at 9:58 AM
What did he play last night like 30mins? Holy shit do the Thunder need to add some depth if that guy is getting that much playing time.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:00 AM
it’s easy to relate to for people who don’t read the fantasy genre.
for me, picking up a fantasy or science fiction book with strange names is an almost immediate buzzkill.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
I just picked up 2312. I had never heard of Robinson, thought the synopsis sounded interested, had a gift card, and made the Nook impulse buy. Love it so far. Dense and layered in a really good way.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
The injury to Eric Maynor has been pretty underrated. They def miss him, although he’s a terrible shooter. But at least he knows his role, and doesn’t overconfidently jack shots like Fisher.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
heard 2312 is awesome…might pick it up.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Eh, contrarian is just a weak label people use for someone they’re not able to defend their point of view against. I just wanted to bring that out of you one more time. I would never call you a contrarian.

Really? I mean, I know you aren’t lying to me, but I’m just surprised.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Reading Julian Comstock at the moment. So far so good. I would also recommend Devil in the White City and Carter Beats the Devil.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
i might give 2312 another try after the Red Mars trilogy. I read a sample and had a hard time getting into it.
after the Red Mars trilogy, however, is Roboapocalypse for me.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
Robopocalypse was a real letdown. Great first half, and then it falls off a cliff.
May 30th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
i’ve heard that. seems entertaining enough for me, even though i know in my heart it’s just trying to be another World War Z
May 30th, 2012 at 10:28 AM
This is not why he was cut. It’s written into his contract that he doesn’t have to play road games unless the other team pays him to show up. He was cut because he had an unsustainable salary given that wasn’t putting any asses in the seats. The team had an out because he technically breached said contract by blowing off a charity event.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
Add If I Die In A Combat Zone and you’ve got a trifecta. A sad trifecta, but a trifecta nonetheless.

id recommend killing pablo, if you’re into military shit.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
I haven’t clicked on the Esquire list, so it may be on there, but I’d highly recommend Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey. Probably my favorite great american novel.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:33 AM
The movie adaptation (Never Give an Inch) is fantastic, too.
May 30th, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Sure, if you want fuck underage kids, Florida is the best state for you..
