pologies for calling Gil Hanse a “cock” on twitter.
Hanse is on-site this week and Donald hasn’t run into him yet, but if he does, he plans to apologize personally.
I did look up the British slang for cock and got the following:
1. The penis. [1400s]
2. A term of address, usually affectionate. E.g.”Right cock, that’ll be 46 pence please. Would you like it in a bag?”
3. Rubbish, nonsense.
Think he was picking no. 3????

Can’t believe they sold Reddit for 20 million in 2006. I understand that when you have a 100% of that kind of money it’s difficult to rationalize holding out. That site is worth how much now eleventy godzillion dollars*?

September 4th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
Holy shit I just read that whole Outdoors piece on Armstrong. I hate him now.

A Jaguars scout talks about his life with Parkinson’s Disease.
Parkinson’s is terrifying. The Predators assistant coach is also suffering from it.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:01 AM
yeah the stuff he did on the war in Iraq was good and littered in little details. This Romney stuff is okay I guess, but would be validated by some forensic accountant that could better explain and authentic his accusations.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Never have I seen more smoke without the actual fire, which is obviously burning somewhere. The man is trash.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Parkinson’s and Alzheimers scare the shit out of me. Do not want, ever.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:03 AM
Taibbi’s series on the banking scandals is very well done. Can’t get to RS at work so I’ll have to read the Romney piece later.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
Big deal. My dog vomited diarrhea all over my wife and the couch. No one is giving it a medal.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
It’s not so much an issue of accounting corroboration as it is up to you to decide if what he and Bain did is/was ethical and whether it aligns with the words that come out of his mouth.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
So I finished Assassins Creed last night (only took 5 years) and moved on to AC 2, and am super pissed that they changed the HUD and navigation menus.
/better than talking politics
September 4th, 2012 at 9:05 AM

I’d say there’s plenty of fire. That book from Taylor Hamilton is going to be the inferno.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
QS – Read up on Huntingtons. Those other two are largely heritable but variable. Huntington’s is scary as shit, and if a parent has it you have a 50% chance of getting it. It’s a huge decision to be tested, and a lot of people who get it, kill themselves at the early signs before it gets bad. That scares the shit out of me more than those other two.

Yes, I’ve heard about that before. My family doesn’t have it. Huntington’s is relatively rare, though.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:10 AM
Great grandmother had alzheimers, grandad on other side of family has parkinsons. both are terrible, and only one has passed from complications with the disease (alzheimers GG), but if I had to choose i’d probably go with parkinsons.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:12 AM
Yeah, mercifully.
That’s a nice link, G, with another link in it to a fuller story. There are a lot of really good doctors doing great things here.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:13 AM
By fire, I mean actual evidence that corroborates the bazillion accounts of what a dick he is.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Did I miss it somewhere or has there been any mention of Tiger going over the 100 million dollar mark in career winnings?
September 4th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
You’d rather him pick them to win?
I have no idea if Rutgers is good, but if they were the best team in the Big East, all they’d have to do is beat Arkansas and run the table in conference. They certainly have an easier path to the title game than most teams, while having enough decent teams on the schedule to keep up SoS.
Now, I have no idea if RU is supposed to be good, but it doesn’t seem a worse pick than to put the Clippers to win the West, without having a scorer who can create his own shot away from the point.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:17 AM
Tiger going over the
10050 million dollar mark in career winnings?/fixed for Elin’d
September 4th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
Which is odd…because I find that people go into work EARLIER in the summer, not later.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
After watching the Curb episode with Michael J. Fox, I gotta agree it looks like the better alternative. “Mr. Parkinson would be appalled if he knew how Mr. Fox was behaving.”
September 4th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
Rutgers has the same odds as Pitt to win the Big East… so I’m going to amend it to say he probably is an idiot.

I had no idea ALS doesn’t affect the mind when you get it. Being aware of what your body is going through has to be a personal hell that I’d never wish upon anybody. The Gleason piece on Real Sports was just heartbreaking.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:27 AM
I shot a 79 for the first time in 4 years. Easier track but I made a downhill 4 footer on 18. I was also playing w/ my dad who is brutal to play with.

My wife is a desperately-wants-to-be-employed teacher. She’s not enjoying the complaints today, I’ll tell you that much.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Parkinson’s and Alzheimers scare the shit out of me. Do not want, ever.
ALS is on the top of that list. Imagine that all your muscle control is deteriorating, and your brain is the only organ fully functional. You KNOW and FEEL your body shutting down slowly, and nothing can be done.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
congrats…where at?
September 4th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
I know. That sucks.
That ending was the best “holy shit” moment on television. Especially from where Hank was sitting.

September 4th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
my girlfriends grandfather passed away this early morning, and although he didn’t have any serious diseases like that, he farmed his entire life so his body was just worn out to the point he could barely move, but his mind was still there. it was heartbreaking the last time we went to see him in June to know what he was going through. it was a blessing that he went this morning, but sad nonetheless. watching someone who never had to rely on anyone else for help struggle to walk is pretty tough.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:35 AM

Shot 84 in constant rain, on a shit course (Oak Hills, if PP is around) where their yardages were complete crap. I flew 25 yards past the pin twice on par 3s.
Also had my first even-par 9 holes score in a while (easy: rating 34, par 35). Bogied the easiest hole on the course.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
So I finished Assassins Creed last night (only took 5 years) and moved on to AC 2, and am super pissed that they changed the HUD and navigation menus.
I played AC2 and AC2: Brotherhood first, then went back and played the first one. You’ll come to appreciate the changes made to the game.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Fenway Sports Group is the most incompetent multi-sport ownership group in sports.
Also I enjoyed the Pirates post yesterday in light of the post from the start of the season that mocked their front office for saying that the extra spot increased their playoff chances.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
So…it’s like every other TV show?
September 4th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
its aight…kinda over sushi in general tho.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
There’s gotta be a shirt somewhere that says something like “Hank Schrader Info Dump” or whatever.
That final scene with all of them around the pool and chatting and eating was unnerving. Like, it was supposed to be a happy moment, but it was shot in such a way and at such a moment in the story that the viewer was unsettled and just waiting for something bad to happen.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Wow. could have sworn that I saw something this past early summer that 1st 8 would be this summer (July 15) and then finish it early next year in January. Must have read it wrong or they changed it.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
BB SPOLIER:
If you DIDN’T see that ending coming you are not in tune with this show. They gave that book way too much attention throughout the season. When I give books (aside from ones I know may have historical value), I always dedicate them. If it wasn’t enough to show the book a few times throughout the season, they had to show it being moved to a bathroom in the last episode. UGGGGH.
Also, Hank needs to quit going in bedroom bathrooms and do his business in the hallway bathroom. Dude, you don’t go in peoples rooms to shit.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
You have misinformed. No official return date other than “Summer 2013.” To my knowledge, they haven’t even started filming the final 8 eps yet.

They start shooting the final 8 episodes in November.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:44 AM
I think it’s great, makes sense for the character. Very territorial behavior, doesn’t take Walt seriously or respect him enough not to shit in his master bathroom. he does now though.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
I don’t know. His old boss and him had that conversation earlier this season about the former admitting he essentially didn’t believe what Hank was onto with Fring.
“Gliding Over All” was the most visually pleasing episode of TV I’ve ever seen. The transitions, angles and cropping, and time lapses were incredible.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
In his defense, more people should be really angry about this shit.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I have mentioned this in previous posts, but if you haven’t already i would encourage you to go to the breaking bad subreddit and peruse their post-show threads. A lot of people with more time on their hands than me will go in and round up all the spoilers, links, foreshadowing, etc. I especially liked this one.

September 4th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
walt paid for hank’s medical bills with his meth money. hank may not get fired, but he’d be a black sheep in the DEA.
I don’t think Hank does anything official with Walt… but maybe he gives Walt the ultimatum to leave, and never come back. Walt leaves, Hank does his job, the white supremacist’s or walt’s new distribution crew gets pissed that Walt is out, does something to his family, and he comes back with a M60 ready to rock.
or the m60 is something totally unrelated, the same way the plane accident was portrayed as something else until we saw the collision in season 2.
September 4th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
I’m actually pretty damn good at guessing yardages. I just trusted the listed yardages over my perception.

September 4th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
This. At some point if you are catching up on a show, you just have to deal with it. I heard all about GoT for months here before I started watching so I knew random shit that made no sense to me at the time.
Then I found out there were fucking zombies and I stopped watching. Seriously, zombies? Fuck you, GeorRRge Martin

You have misinformed. No official return date other than “Summer 2013.” To my knowledge, they haven’t even started filming the final 8 eps yet. Jay
I just read the rolling stone article. They start filming in November for a Summer 2013 premiere. There is some scuttlebut I’ve read that it might be Spring. Either way, eight episode seasons are dumb. I think it messes with the story arc.
Also, I’m never a fan of montages.

I flipped out about it this weekend. The difference between a 4:01 and a ‘sub 3′ marathon is so incredible, I can’t believe any runner could mess that up, without just being the kind of person who lies/exaggerates about golf scores and everything else, just by habit without thinking about it. You tell the story of the 79 so much, you believe it and forget those three mulligans that went in the woods.

Yuuuuuuuuuuup. The reason BB was extended over two seasons was to milk it for everything its worth: more ads, more prestige, two DVD sets, etc. Plus, Hell on Wheels flopped and the network’s new content won’t be ready until 2013.
Other than trailers for trailers, artificially extending a property for blatant cash is the most infuriating trend in entertainment. Three Hobbit movies? Sure, we’ll make that happen. Split the crappy Hunger Games conclusion into two movies? Why the hell not!

That’s the plan, yes. Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2 or something. I don’t know I didn’t read the books and the movie sucked so it doesn’t really matter much to me. But the trend is irritating. If you can’t tell a story in eight hours then it shouldn’t be a movie. Find a cable outlet to make a miniseries out of it.
Can’t wait to see how badly Drew Goddard screws up The Passage movie. Good luck turning an epic 1000-page time-shifting book about the end of the world into a two-hour movie.

AMC only wanted Breaking Bad to do 10 episodes in the final season. Vince said he could do it in 16, but no less, so they split it up.
AMC doesn’t get the money for the DVD sales, they only own the distribution rights for Hell on Wheels and the walking dead, but did own it for rubicon and the killing.

To be fair, Martin wrote the book in 2004. It’s not really his fault that hipster zombie runs and a shitty Walking Dead TV show ruined it for everyone. There’s no way to excise the White Walkers from the plotlines, either. So we’re stuck with them, for better or worse.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:08 AM
that’s another story that should be a premium channel product, like the dark tower. better suited for 10 hours a year instead of 6 hours over 4-6 years.

Indeed. It is like they are jealous Breaking Bad is great tv and the shows they come up with suck.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
You sure about the disty rights for BB? I’ve been told AMC holds those for all it original content.
AMC has really burning through a lot of the equity it had in the last couple of years with The Killing fiasco, Walking Dead’s horrific writing and their public feud with Weiner over the Mad Men contracts. For all their critical success, AMC loses money on Mad Men and Breaking Bad, so without WD that network would be in real trouble.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Literally – how much track have they laid in both season 1 through now? A few miles? This show cannot last as long as building the actual transcontinental railroad did.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Drew Goddard is legit. I have no idea what The Passage is, so I’ll check it out. But Goddard has a very good track record.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:12 AM
if breaking bad and mad men weren’t critically acclaimed and walking dead wasn’t a ratings monster this network would have found a way to run their original programming into the ground.
i get keeping the budget low on shows that haven’t proven themselves, but breaking bad and mad men should get whatever they want to produce their shows.

walking dead and the killing were the first ones produced under their own distribution company, BB and MM are owned by the production studios and not AMC.

It is a big deal to runners. 26 miles may be impressive to you, but not to some other guy that has run marathons before.

I got the impression that Jesse knows about Mike. I know when he is talking about Saul telling him what Walt did he is referring to the guys in jail, but it would also seem plausible that Saul told him about Mike as well. Jesse seems a bit broken up about it and scared, but he was the one who came to ask Walt what to do about the guys in prison and there doesn’t seem to be any reason to think he’d be upset about having those guys offed.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:27 AM
I don’t know I didn’t read the books and the movie sucked
Take it back
September 4th, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Could be, but Jesse viewed him as a father figure. If he ever found out that Walt just snuffed him out in the desert, Jesse might finally kill him.
That stack of cash in the storage unit was absolutely nuts.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
I’d have no issue if he said he ran a marathon once. Still impressive. But he said he ran marathons, one of which was done in world elite time. That’s a bit much.
It’s a bad habit with him — grossly embellishing minor things to make himself look great.

September 4th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
If Furyk and Phil combine to a .500 record I’d say there’s very little chance the USA team doesnt win back the cup.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I didn’t read the books. I’ve been told that the movie works a lot better if you essentially disregard what you see on the screen and use the book as a primer.
Which, frankly, is a huge pet peeve of mine. Adaptations should stand on their own. Source material can supplement the visuals or layer in details, but digesting the book beforehand shouldn’t be crucial to the enjoyment of the film/TV show. To be fair, most of my complaints centered around the terrible direction, Velveeta FX and poor acting, but the script was still a problem. How much of that is bad story vs bad adaptation I don’t know.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
i just dont understand taking furyk over mahan or BVP. just don’t.
haven’t hit em yet but saw em for the first time this weekend. they look nice, and the previous anser’s were ok…but i just don’t see how they can justify the price. and not only that, but i think the s56′s are better across the board in terms of aesthetics, feel and just as forgiving.
i mean, $1,500 for a set of irons? GET THE FUCK OUT.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
That’s because Walt is a homicidal drug lord, who had just ordered the murders of 9 witnesses who could crush his empire.
Jesse was more intricately involved than any of those 9 guys, so he’s probably fearing for his own life.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Only slightly related, but I finished the Guillermo Del Toro series “The Strain“. It’s got to be only a matter of time before they make that into a movie.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:43 AM
but digesting the book beforehand shouldn’t be crucial to the enjoyment of the film/TV show
Agreed. Woody did a pretty solid job I thought. The kids (adults playing kids), not so much.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
Yeah but Jesse came to Walt in a panic about Mike’s guys in prison. It’s not like he could possibly be shocked that Walt decided to have them killed, and Jesse would have most certainly agreed that they have got to go.
Plus he seemed terrified to open the body bag on the porch. Seemed like he was expecting Mike’s corpse.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
Yeah, the price is enough to make the Miura’s blush!
I don’t get leaving Mahan off the team either. I think this is one of those situations where Love thought he owed Furyk something and was unwilling to let one of the younger guys get a crack at it.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:46 AM
Also a “what will Jesse do when he finds out about Mike and Walt?” plotline seems really unnecessary given there’s already a “what will Jesse do when he finds out about Brock and Walt?” plotline.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:47 AM
Woody was money playing a very Woody character. Kravitz was a highlight, too.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:48 AM
I think it is more to do with relief that Walt didn’t shoot him as soon as he stuck his head out the door.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:51 AM
One thing I never understood, was if those “9 guys” actually knew Walter’s real name, or simply knew him as “Heisenberg.” They seemed to be much more connected to Fring’s empire than Walt’s.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:54 AM
Had a meeting, but enjoyed everyone’s thoughts on the Walkers. As always, I’m sure I’ll get over it, or I’ll just stop watching.
On the other hand, I’m liking Sons of Anarchy quite a bit, watching last season now, before the premiere of this one. I know if doesn’t have the following here of those others, but I find myself drawn to the plot and waiting for the episodes more than most other shows.

September 4th, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Yeah, I don’t see them as a threat to Walter, as much as to Lydia, at which point she could finger Walter.
At the end of the series:
1) Walter: in the meth biz still, in jail, free/retired, dead?
2) Hank: dead or alive?
3) Skylar: dead or very dead?
4) Over or under: 0.5 more dead children
I’m going to randomly guess: jail, alive, rich, over.
September 4th, 2012 at 10:59 AM

I’m going with alive. I don’t know how, but there’s no way they just “forgot” to show the face, unless I missed something.

September 4th, 2012 at 11:02 AM
He was gut shot. He’s dead.
They didn’t show his face in the trunk because that means they have to pay him for the episode, pay for a bunch of makeup, and as we’ve already discussed, they’re barely even allowed to make the show at this point because of AMC’s finances.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Maybe they killed Lydia instead? I just don’t think Mike is dead.

September 4th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
I agree that he liked the counteroffer too much to kill her.
Disagree that he had a chance to kill her, short of just shooting her in the middle of the restaurant. (Let me just slip this poison in your coffee right in front of you without you noticing.) Lydia is a paranoid biatch (for good reason), and I could totally see her causing Walt’s demise next season.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
I know most probably don’t watch it, but can someone explain why the Irish went after the Kraut butcher after being released? I mean, I understand he would’ve tried to kill them if Bohannon hadn’t have been the coolest badass telling him to leave town. Seemed unnecessary.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
dude, he could’ve just took advantage of how paranoid she was, got her to look behind her at a phantom tail and boom.
it’d be way easier than some of the other shit he’s pulled. WAY easier.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Todd alluded to a car being crushed into a tiny fragment, so I just assumed that is the one they were talking about. Don’t remember seeing them give Mike the acid treatment, either.

He’s dead, WWoS. Let go.
Lydia is a paranoid biatch (for good reason), and I could totally see her causing Walt’s demise next season.
I know everyone wants a big shoot-out to end the series, but I bet Walt just plain old dies of cancer in a hospice. The ultimate indignity to him.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Walt took an acid bath. And if you aren’t following the “crushed car” story like the other 99.999999% of us, it goes like this:
Tod was told about the situation. Mike was placed in the trunk of Walts car. Walt drives to shop to commence acid bath while Todd takes Mikes wrecked-after-getting-shot car to the junk yard to get squashed, thus removing the evidence. Mike had two cars, and the other is still sitting at the airport. Todd takes cab from junk yard back to office to help with acid bath.
Is it really that hard, people?????
September 4th, 2012 at 11:24 AM
I don’t think she put that cup of coffee down once during their entire meeting.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
Thank you.
Lydia’s coffee shop routine is going to be her downfall. Walt is going to put the ricin in one of her Stevia packets.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:26 AM
she didn’t have to…she jsut had to look away.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Much more plausible than the “Hey look at that!” plan proposed by Spencer.
September 4th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Mikes dead body was in heisenburgs trunk about to get the barrel treatment and his car was the one Todd took to be crushed, hence the reason why he had to take a can back to meth hq
September 4th, 2012 at 11:31 AM

Peerless – did the Irish guys know what Bohannon had told the butcher? If not, I’m sure they knew the butcher would kill them at the first opportunity. I don’t remember Bohannon telling them anything.

It’s a lot easier to dupe a child into consuming some poison. Don’t get all pissy I didn’t agree with your plan. Lydia is smarter than you give her credit for. That’s why she is still alive, bro.

No way he did, right? They had anger eyes. Sort of confusing to me.

i couldnt care less that you don’t agree with my plan…it was a offhand suggestion that would make sense considering walt had it within reach. and considering the prison murders, i don’t think lydia being “smart” would’ve protected her from something she didn’t see coming.
and she’s alive because she’s exercised the leverage that she does have being the linchpin for logistics, not that she’s smart enough to avoid getting caught…seeing as mike’s had her twice.
i mean, shit dude…HEY LOOK AT THAT is actually somewhat believable. a lot moreso than a giant magnet truck or train robbery or pretty much everything else walt’s done so far. didnt deserve disdain, esp considering you’re having trouble keeping your facts straight.

Walt always makes very intricate plans. The plausibility I referred to was in reference to that, not real life plausibility. I just think that plan is not “smart” enough for Walt, but could see him trying to sneak a tainted sugar pack into the dispenser before one of their meetings.
