Gentleman you had my curiosity. NOW, you have my attention.
Django looks fantastic. Looks like Leo’s character is gonna steal the show. QT injected some of 70′s R&B into the slavery-era film. Like we discussed last week, he can pretty much put whatever song he wants wherever he wants, and it works.

Still not happy he collected a Ring with GB in 1996, though I was pulling for the Pack in that game. The man was cancer everywhere he went.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Poor John Mayer…
June 7th, 2012 at 8:47 AM
Bravo on that picture selection.
Its crazy that the Thunder have the first “social media age” superstars (born late 80s, early 90s) and are already in the NBA Finals at under 25. That is a scary prospect for the rest of the league…the talent on that team is off the charts. If you can beat the 3 teams that have made it to each of the NBA Finals since 1999, you have my respect.

C’mon, assholes! At least TRY to pretend you’re not singling anyone out here…
June 7th, 2012 at 8:48 AM
Hat tip to the Thunder. As a Spurs fan its tough to lose but what a great series, and I’m still amazed at the level the Thunder are playing. I don’t know how they don’t run through Boston or Miami if they continue playing team ball like they are. I believe Scott Brooks was right, playing the Spurs and watching them on tape so much made the Thunder a better passing team. They look unbeatable right now.

I’m down with seeing Django Unchained, but the trailer just seemed like a bit much, like it was

“They kidnapped my wife!”
“I gotta teach you how to get revenge!”
“Cool!”
“Hi, I’m Leonardo DiCaprio!!!!”

John Mayer is a giant pussy if he’s bummed out by a Taylor Swift song.
And Brian Presley’s pick up attempt, even though his wife is smoking hot, is proof that for every hot chick, there’s a guy sick of her shit.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
As he should have. Some people are too dumb to procreate anyway, yet I found this part very funny: “Rent’s boyfriend and father of the child, Joseph Hobbs, was also arrested when he tried to intervene, police said. He suffered a dislocated elbow during the arrest”

I was a fringe alcoholic once with a pretty well stocked bar. Even I hadn’t had this stuff. Drinks with these obscure items, fuck em right in the ear.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
Eh, the players and coaches had nothing to do with that. I don’t know much about the move, but it seems like that was more of the owner and Stern’s doing.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
cops should drop the charges on him, what else was he supposed to do when his pregnant girlfriend gets tazered, sit in the car?
June 7th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
the most obscure item you should have in a drink is ice cubes.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
There was a time when a musician would wear a song like that like a badge of courage.
Get over it, John Mayer, and quit being such a gaping pussy.

Quite true, I was thinking of the bachelor party where I started pounding drinks at 8am on a 10 hour bus ride.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
I agree that Durant and Co. didn’t move the team. I just can’t feel good about the OKC. It still happened. If the Seattle fans were shitty & apathetic like Miami, Atlanta…. maybe’d that change things.
For me, it’d be like be rooting for the Ravens in the Superbowl. This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
maybe he was, but you’re pregnant wife or girlfriend gets tasered in front of you I don’t think there’s many guys who would just sit there and pretend it’s not happening.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
While I’m pulling hard for OKC, I love how SI.com’s bball writer said a dynasty is in the making. Why don’t we let them win one title first before we drop the “D” word on them.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
Who fucking cares? Half of the old Sonics fans are probably suicidal anyway.

Howie Roseman not only has Joe Banner out of the way now, but he will now have Andy Reid to throw overboard as a scape goat in case the next season or two go horribly wrong. Well played.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
No one is universally loved, but I would say the positive rating for OKC will be higher than any team since Jordan’s Bulls as KD is such a cool dude and the other guys on the team save for Perkins are all well-liked.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
She looks incendiary in that red dress.

“Not two, not three, not four…not five…not six…not seven…”
June 7th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
I think people like that OKC’s roster was put together mostly via the draft, and they paid their dues in the playoffs then realized their potential and graduated. Durant is a superstar. Westbrook is riveting. Harden is capable and quircky.
That’s easier to get on board with than the Ready Mix Title Formula being tested in South Beach.

Exactly. Seeing a team draft well and build around some key parts as opposed to “Yankee” it up and buy a title is refreshing in today’s professional sports.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
Durant is a superstar. Westbrook is riveting. Harden is capable and quircky.
they have a great mix, hope they can keep it together.
for all the lebron makes everyone better talk, why does his supporting cast always “suck”?
June 7th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
The Spurs looked unbeatable a week ago.
That’s not really true though. Aside from the amazing 3rd Q in Game 2, OKC was very much in those first 2 games with them. Everyone in the media just blew their load after a perfect 4th Q in Game 1 and that 3rd Q in Game 2. The Thunder probably outplayed them in the other 6 Qs in those two games but couldn’t get a W so nobody cared to point that out.

They had won 20 in a row. It’s hard to picture a team losing when they hadnt done it in so long. Still the way people were falling all over themselves to crown the Spurs in the middle of Game 2 of the WCF was a little embarrassing.

Let’s remove Bosh/Wade from the equation and just look at the draft. Luke Jackson, Shannon Brown, J. J. Hickson, Christian Eyenga, Norris Cole. These are the 1st round picks LeBron’s teams have drafted since he came into the league. On the other hand, the year after OKC drafted Durant they landed Westbrook and Ibaka in the first round, the following year they got Harden. Sam Presti is a terrific GM.

On the other hand, the year after OKC drafted Durant they landed Westbrook and Ibaka in the first round, the following year they got Harden. Sam Presti is a terrific GM.
Part of the problem is that LeBron was too good that first year and kept the Cavs from another high pick in the Draft. Chris Paul did the same to the Hornets and they never got that other complimentary piece like the Thunder got with Westbrook.
At the same time, I don’t want to hear how his supporting cast in Miami is bad. He chose that spot. Had he stayed in Clev he could have added Chris Bosh and still had enough to challenge Boston or Chicago. He knew that putting 3 max contract guys was going to be an issue — everyone said so — and did it anyway.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
We so think alike…MMJ was the first thing that came to my mind too. They love her.

Ms. Stetten, I don’t use the word ‘hero’ lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history.

Yup, and Margaritas are better the simpler they are. Blue Agave Tequila, Cointreau, and fresh lime juice. Thats it.

Still the way people were falling all over themselves to crown the Spurs in the middle of Game 2 of the WCF was a little embarrassing.
That’s the point I was making. And never did I say hand the Thunder the title, just pointing out that to me that look unbeatable right now after watching that series very closely.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
And fucking Rose’s lime “juice” (which is probsbly what you’re talking about). That shit’ll mess with you. How tough is it to squeeze a lime? For $5, you can buy a lime juicer if it’s that difficult.

Mimosas are delicious. I like my bourbon with diet dr pepper, but oddly hate regular dr. Pepper. Threw a curve ball and mixed it with cherry coke other day. Great suxcess

Well part of it is Bosh’s injury, when you have 3 guys and one of them goes down, that’s a big deal. Also I dont think Bosh was ever going to Cleveland, though i have no idea how hard LeBron tried to convince him.
I just think it’s amazing how OKC had top 5 picks for 3 straight years and hit on all of them. Especially when you consider the teams picking ahead of them in those years drafted Greg Oden, OJ Mayo, and Hasheem Thabeet.

Ugh, I made a Jack & Coke with Cherry Zero one time. It was drinking cough syrup, way too sweet for my taste.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Problem is Rose’s Lime juice is not just a juiced lime. Less sour, more sweet & more viscous. I wouldn’t make a gimlet with regular lime juice.

It’s better to be lucky than good.

Near, your problem wasn’t the cherry coke. You don’t mix the worlds finest bourbon with the likes of a cherry coke.

We so think alike…MMJ was the first thing that came to my mind too. They love her.
the tyrone cover came out i think in 2001? plus, they have brought her on stage for quite a few shows (dallas 2008 was one, i was there and it was just awesome).

Cherry or Vanilla Coke is only acceptable when mixed with dark rums.

Threw a party and had everyone drinking cheap champagne Mimosa pints. Dump 8 ounces into a pint glass fill it with orange juice. Everyone got wasted. Next morning at a hungover brunch my one friend orders a Mimosa, waitress hand him a champagne glass, shocked and appalled he loudly asked “what the fuck is this?”
The key to a great Saturday is to wake up and immediately start drinking Mimosa pints while watching The Jungle Book (1967).

Also I dont ever want to hear how the college basketball “atmosphere” is superior to the NBA. That place in OKC was incredible last night. One of the things that’s unique about the NBA, Western Conf. in particular is it’s a lot of small cities it’s the only pro franchise in town – Portland, Sacramento, Utah, San Antonio, OKC, Memphis. That whole state is rallying around the team.

You know, I actually like some of John Mayer’s music, particularly his earlier stuff. He’s an excellent guitar player.
But he’s such a douche. And I’m finding it increasingly difficult to forget that John Mayer the musician and John Mayer the douche are actually the same person.

We are on the same team. $19.99 for 1.75 at Mr. Lee’s liquor store. Evan is actually considered a very good value for the flavor.

Diet Cherry Pepsi and Captain is a solid drink. Not too sweet and I mix em tall and disproportionately boozy.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
Cherry coke zero and vanilla stoli?? That sounds amazing! You just blew my mind.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
Or the fact that Lebron hung is free agency over EVEYRBODYS head for 3 years so no UFA’s wanted to come to CLE, have Lebron bolt, and then be stuck without him.
A few things admittedly didnt pan out as well in CLE, but that front office and ownership did a lot right to help him out.
They got Mo Williams for spare change, got Delonte West for nothing, recovered from the Boozer thing by getting Varajeo. Wasn’t all misses.
If nothing, Paxson killed the Lebron initially with his shitty deals. That was pre-Ferry and mostly pre-Gilbert.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
This. Evan is by far the best bourbon in its price range. And Evan Williams Single Barrel is an all-star.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Fantastic stuff.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Any pop and vanil stoli is pretty much liquid panty remover. women love that shit.
Just leave some advil and bottle water out for the morning hangover.

This is the only way I will drink Stoli Vanilla. The Vanilla flavor just tastes way too artificial to me mixed with anything else.
/Kettle and tonic with a lime please. thanks

I routinely make Daiquiris at the lake and want to punch a puppy when people look at them and say, “What’s that? That’s not a Daiquiri.”.
For you Mimosa enjoyers, Segura Viudas (a Spanish Cava) is perfect on it’s own, or in any Champagne’esque cocktail. At ten bucks, it’s perfect for mixing or even drinking on it’s own.

But he’s such a douche. And I’m finding it increasingly difficult to forget that John Mayer the musician and John Mayer the douche are actually the same person.
i like the one about running through the halls of his high school, but don’t know but one other, the slow one about not letting the girl’s head hit the pillow. what sucks is him being such a great guitar player and wasting it on that type of music

June 7th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
Not that stuff. Actually come to think of it I don’t like much of his music that they played on the radio. But there’s some good stuff buried in the albums.
And he did a blues album too…I like the blues and thought that was really good.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:22 AM
I’m a big fan of Charter 10 year at that price range.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Yeah the majority of the singles he gets played on the radio are just bad, but most of his albums have a lot of good stuff on them. He’s a really good songwriter. I think his guitar playing ability is pretty blown out of proportion (he’s a very capable and talented guitar player, don’t get me wrong), but I do think he’s a very good musician and songwriter. He makes good tunes.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Mayers blues stuff is the reason I like him. Not for songs like Waiting On the World to Change,
June 7th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Evan Williams
I use this for my marinades and sauces – perfect. I’ll sip a bit here and there and I’m not completely offended.
Just opened a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 (Buffalo Trace) – nice – has an interesting “spice” flavor.
I still prefer Bulleit as my regular.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:27 AM
I think that’s a pretty good song personally, but to each’s own.

Stoli Vanil and ginger ale is one of my go-to gambling drinks while at the tables.

If I’m spending $20 on bourbon, I’m spending an extra $2-3 and getting Bulleit.

same here. they finally started carrying it at Sam’s and you can get a liter for $24. too good of a price to pass that up.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:31 AM
I really enjoy Bulleit, but I just recently got hooked on Blanton’s. Stuff is unreal. Too bad its so damn expensive.
June 7th, 2012 at 10:35 AM
agreed he’s a damn good guitar player.
and while he may be a douchbag, his cameo on the chapelle show still makes me crack up. did that perfectly.

Fresh lime and simple syrup, not 10% lime juice, water and HFCS.
Also, Benchmark (made by Buffalo Trace) is a good “value” bourbon. $10 bucks for a 1.75. Just know what you’re getting into, it’s a mixer, not for drinking neat.
June 7th, 2012 at 11:04 AM
This is what I pay for Bulleit, which has replaced Makers Mark in my esteem.
