Can one of the writers (or ex-writers) here explain what might drive a guy like Lehrer to do this?
Seems to me if the guy really wanted to get quotes from Dylan (or any other musician) on the creative process, it shouldn’t have been all that difficult to do.

Really cheering for the guy. The Eagles D-line will be good regardless, but he seems like a good dude and having injuries derail your career before it even starts sucks.

Sounds like Josh Beckett could be getting traded before the deadline
This isn’t happening. Dude makes too much money next year and unless the Sox volunteer to take on most of that contract, they can’t move him.
July 31st, 2012 at 8:50 AM
I hope he does well too. It’s tough when the player taken two spots after you become one of the best defensive players, while you deal with injuries non-stop. But yes, the D-line will be really good. We can only hope the guys the Eagles drafted will step up right away.
July 31st, 2012 at 8:52 AM
I do! The idea is terrible and ruins everything!
Oh, never mind then.
Also, did anyone else notice this:

10:05 p.m. ET: A promo for another NBC production, The Today Show, talked up a Missy Franklin feature coming Tuesday morning and referred to the teen winning “her first gold” – about six minutes before viewers saw her do it.

I’d be more concerned if you found John Daly sexy.
July 31st, 2012 at 8:59 AM
If it wasn’t for the complete lack of confidence in the Defensive Coordinator, I’d actually be excited about this Eagles defense.
I like the Demeco Ryans trade. Bringing in Todd Bowles to coach the secondary (which underperformed last year) can only help.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:00 AM
What’s great is some guy who’s read everything on Bob Dylan found that quote new and then tried to source it. It’s not even a substantial quote. Like a filler.
I can’t imagine making up quotes. It’s the equivalent of working a cash register and stealing from the till.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:01 AM

July 31st, 2012 at 9:04 AM
I think Washburn and Bowles will take on the majority of the coaching of the D. Just like Mudd is dealing with the O-Line.

I’d be more concerned if you found John Daly sexy.
David Feherty is to golf what George Lopez is to comedy. He shouldn’t be allowed near a self-respecting telecast for any reason.
John Daly won two majors, including one at the Old Course. Man can do whatever he wants. Legend.

July 31st, 2012 at 9:14 AM
scripty knows what’s up.
Daly has actually been playing pretty well this year all things considered. Has made a lot of cuts, although he isn’t doing much on the weekend, he isn’t blowing up and walking off the course anymore. dare I say, he is becoming more emotionally stable?
July 31st, 2012 at 9:14 AM

July 31st, 2012 at 9:14 AM
The Orioles really would give up a top prospect for Joe Blanton?
seriously doubt it. schoop hasn’t been THAT impressive so far, but i can’t see why they’d give up on a 20 year old for Blanton at this point.

I read that as 20 year old Blanton’s. I’d pay about $125 for one of those.

July 31st, 2012 at 9:18 AM
I’m just ready for the day he becomes financially stable enough to not have to wear those stupid fucking pants.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:18 AM
schoop hasn’t been THAT impressive so far
Pretty impressed at what he is done at Bowie for a 20 year old. And if they did trade Schoop for a middle class man’s Tommy Hunter, well…that would be a pretty typical Angelos move.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:19 AM
HA, i did the exact same thing.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:20 AM
I for one don’t think she’s fat, I just dont think shes very good looking.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:21 AM
7 of 9 cuts but only 2 top 25′s. That wont get it done. He’s at $260k, he could be fully exempt if he could get to $600k. So he’ll need a top 3 or several top 10′s.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:23 AM

July 31st, 2012 at 9:26 AM
In tennis, if you win multiple grand slams you’re pretty much a lock for the Hall of Fame, with the rare Johan Kriek-type exception (only one I can think of off the top of my head). Is golf similar? Is Daly a Hall of Famer?
July 31st, 2012 at 9:26 AM

July 31st, 2012 at 9:27 AM
I think Pence ends up staying.
And I’ll reserve judgement until I see what Amaro does with Cliff Lee. If he deals Lee and comes up light on return, I’ll help with the pitchforks.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:27 AM
yeah, unfortunately most sponsors probably remember his past all too well. I’d be willing to bet he does all right with that deal as well. I’ve never seen anyone wearing a pair, but they must be selling.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Hunter Pence sounds a bit sketchy. Not sure if I’d deal Choo for him. Think the Tribe could hold on and get equal value next year. Just pisses me off they did nothing this past offseason. Willingham over the Tribe’s yearlong LF crapfest is a 3-4 WAR adjustment, which puts them right in the thick of things. Fuck the Dolans. There is no way that team can survive in CLE another 5-7 years with them running the show. After next year’s sell-off at the deadline, the 2014 attendeance will be about 8k a game.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:28 AM

July 31st, 2012 at 9:29 AM
I don’t think they’re gonna move Lee. Maybe in the offseason, but not now. As long as Dom Brown is up by tomorrow and playing every day the rest of the season, I’ll be happy.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:29 AM
I think you just have to win X-number of tournaments to get in automatically…doubt Daly’s anywhere close to that number
July 31st, 2012 at 9:29 AM

/applies war paint
July 31st, 2012 at 9:29 AM
yeah, but in the past couple years it would have been 2 of 9 cuts made, with 3 WD’s and $46,000. like I said, all things considered, it’s not awful.

Upon further inspection (Wikipedia) it appears as if he is eligible
Current and former PGA Tour and Champions Tour players are eligible for this ballot if they meet the following requirements (beginning with 1996 election):
-Minimum of 40 years old
-PGA Tour member for 10 years
-10 PGA Tour wins or two wins in the majors or Players Championship

Please, it was only 495. I didn’t see any 2 1/2 plates on the side.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:32 AM
no clue what the number is, but I think Daly has 5 or 6 PGA tour wins and maybe a couple Euro’s, so yeah.

This is the non-move that just destroyed them this year. He would have looked spectacular in the Tribe lineup as the RH masher between all those lefties.
I just can’t believe Antonetti thought they could actually win with Damon, Duncan, and Cunningham (now Lillibridge) manning LF. That’s really a fire-able offense.
Even if Sizemore was healthy (please, no laughter here), it still didn’t fix their need for ANY RH bat.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:34 AM
in honor of trade deadline day
July 31st, 2012 at 9:34 AM
well…that would be a pretty typical Angelos move.
i don’t think Angelos has much say in trades outside of the financial element. and the Orioles haven’t been terrible in the trade market the last 5+ years. they’ve netted Tillman, Jones, Hardy, Sherrill… all nice pieces considering what they gave up.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:34 AM
The only place that makes sense financially is Texas and they are not moving Olt nor are they willing to take on the salary Philadelphia needs them to. Severely doubt Clifton gets traded today. I think the only impact arm left that actually gets moved is Jason Vargas from Seattle. Dempster, Lee, Johnson, Beckett and Shields all stay put.

John Daly wont be getting in the Hall, despite his two majors. He is pretty light on overall titles and top 5 finishes, and that he was a personal wreck that embarrased the game for the bulk of his career. Andy North has two majors (at bullshit USGA setups) and he aint getting in.
Daly will just remain the people’s champ. He still gets great turnout and is more a folk hero. But for those pants, it’s no worse than Jim Furyk looking like a NASCAR for 5-hour energy. The vast sum of these guys look ridiculous.

The other thing, is it’s not like he was taken by a major-market. We got done by the twins b/c our front office didnt want to go a 3rd year.
I love the Indians. But just wait til this Browns nucleus comes together. This city is ready to explode for a decent football team. Then you have Kyrie and the Cavs, and tOSU football coming back.
2014, the Indians will have the smallest season ticket base in MLB and should not open the upper deck for any reason. It all happened under the Dolan ownership.

i don’t think Angelos has much say in trades outside of the financial element.
Which appears to be part of the issue with the Blanton deal. (If O’s aren’t willing to eat Blanton $, then Phils want Schoop. I’m fine with Blanton if we have to pay him + give up a low A guy. Not ok with it if you have to give up Schoop.)

And thanks SG for all your help. Haven’t eaten at a place as good and unique as the Purple Pig in a long time. Trying to find a place that good here in Philly.

yeah sg, saw a few minutes this morning, but on mute, with cc. his subjects cannot be so into their fields that they don’t think he is a wackjob

Agreed. That Li was like a robot. No emotion after her victory. I see that with a lot of the Chinese, it looks like relief when they win rather than happiness.

by that time Weeden will have retired due to old age.

Aaand I just figured out who you are on Twitter.
This is AMERICA people! We root for AMERICANS to get gold medals, period! GOSH!

I dont root for michael phelps

I heard training camp reports he’s having a tough time battling his senility when learning the new playbook.

I’m fruitlessly rooting for Kobe not to win another Gold Medal

Outside of Dequell Jackson, Joe Thomas and Gocong, next year almost every starter in 2013-2014 will have 2-4 years of nfl experience. 13-14 and 14-15 they will have a shitload of young talent ready.

Was anyone else disappointed that the America swimmer who had the 8 year rivalry with the Japanese guy, so much so as to have his winning scream as his alarm clock for those 8 years, was not even a favorite to medal in that event. And the Japanese guy was like 3rd or 4th favorite. Hansen won the bronze which was great but they built that rivalry story up like they were the only two competing for the gold in that event.
July 31st, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Just go watch it. It’s hilarious.
I hate Michael Phelps but I will root for him to win gold because I root for the USA. However I am rooting against Aly Raisman.

Anybody see in the opening ceremony they had those 3 people that are competing under the olympic flag and not any nation? It was a blond female and two huge dudes, and when they got announced they had pretty much a simulated sex show out on the track?

I read that in Randolph Duke’s voice from Trading Places for some reason

My favorite so far has been the 15-year old Lithuanian who won one of the breaststroke events. In the earlier heats, the NBC commentator said that he had never heard of her. It’s really neat to see somebody like that come from nowhere and win a medal for a country that usually isn’t known for swimming. Aren’t the Olympics great?

I never found her to be all that hot but the strip scene in True Lies led to quite a few spank sessions back in the day.

The audio on all my firstrow streams are ahead of the video, anyone know a fix?

Shitty, that’s a problem with flash probably need to restart your browser if it’s happening on all streams.

Nope.

You are fucked then. Try vipstand.net but it could be:
Bandwidth problem
Graphics Card not updated
Change Browsers
Delete all that gay porn off your hard drive (nttawwt)

I restarted and that didn’t help it. I’ve not had this happen in a year of using the site on this computer.

How incredibly awesome that Lehrer had to resign over made-up quotes. His last book was hot trash that contradicted itself for 300 pages.

Ha! So you’re the one who clicks on the links.

I’m guessing that’s why you bought an external hard drive recently.
