The Big Lead Year in Review: Top Posts From April 2012
As 2012 coasts to the finish, here is a look back at some of our top posts from April.
Month of Petrino…The police report from Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle accident revealed he was riding with 25-year-old Jessica Dorell, the fiancee of Arkansas’ Director of Swimming and Diving operations. It was later revealed Petrino paid her $20,000 in cash and circumvented fair hiring policy to hire her. Petrino was also contacting a Miss Motorcycle Mania model.
Hockey Sign of The Year… The NHL still existed back then. Two Bruins-partial young ladies wished they only got two minutes for hooking.
Brooklyn Nets Logo…The Nets kept their uniform and logo redesign simple and stylish after moving to Brooklyn. Fashion maven Tim Ryan was a fan.
Scandalized…Sainsbury’s “active kids” campaign used David Beckham in a promotional poster for British schools. The poster featured exposed a tattoo of his scantily clad wife. Parents complained. The kids are still recovering.
Fart Aficionado…Someone ripped ass on the Miami Heat bench. Shaquille O’Neal broke it down with gusto.
Persistence…Bubba Watson changed his cell phone number, after Mike and Mike called him 40 times to book him for their 6am show.
Quarterback Dating…Sam Bradford hung out at Coachella with supermodel Karlie Kloss. Ryan Tannehill’s significant other made some noise at the NFL Draft. Rare one would tell a Top 10 quarterback for the Miami Dolphins he did a wise thing locking it down.
Paulina Gretzky…Moved her picture posting from Twitter to Instagram.

the fiancee of Arkansas’ Director of Swimming and Diving operations.
Did they ever get married? After this happened, they continued to be engaged, which is baffling, but, uh, Arkansas.
December 26th, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Sam Bradford hung out at Coachella with supermodel Karlie Kloss.
Ah, yes. Who can forget Bradford’s Ecstasy eyes.

I approve of anything referencing Paulina Gretzky.

Parents complained. The kids are still recovering.
I’m traumatized by the photo-links on the right of Jamie Edmondson and Brittney Palmer.
/not complaining

Those days are over. ESPN gobbled almost everything up. Ratings. I could have taken the next three days off, but holy fuck, daytime tv is horrible and it is too cold outside to do anything fun.

December 26th, 2012 at 11:52 AM
shingleface larussa > Neckbrace Petrino
Pick your answer:
1. Patently false!
2. Shut your whore mouth!
Either one applies. Neckbrace Petrino overwhelmingly wins the internet.
December 26th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I’m skeptical that the Little Cesars Bowl being aired at noon would change this much

awesome! kindle fire 8.9-inch hd is a kid favorite here. i saw something about the streaming video shutting something down

Hey, in regards to Amazon, I am really impressed by thier service that lets me stream movies and tv shows to my XBOX.

ok, what’s the line on Price Is Right?

I would have more than likely stayed home to watch it. I, for one, do not have an irrational hatred of bowls. I take it all in as there will soon be no CFB for eight months.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Goddamn this. It’s not going to break 30 degrees here for the next 5 days. Fuck you winter. Fuck you in your fucking ass.
/stashes golf Christmas presents away until March
December 26th, 2012 at 12:07 PM
i’m not a golfer but I would imagine getting something like new clubs would be torture as a xmas gift if you live somewhere you can’t play year long.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
winter
Gonna possibly try deer hunting again Fri, Sat or Sun if there’s no rain here.
Otherwise, I’ll be making use of my new stand-mixer* and making all kinds of good fattening foods.
/*not ghey
December 26th, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Fortuntely, I didn’t need new clubs, but I got some new grips….winter is the cocksuckiest of all the cock suckers.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM

Almost as much as the torture I’m about to put my son through … getting him a shotgun for his birthday but I won’t allow him to take it back to school with him. Yet.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:10 PM
Probably doesn’t help that I’m considering buying a membership to a course right now either. All golf, all the time right now.

Andruw Jones following Bobby Cox’s coaching and life philosophy to the letter.

can’t argue with you there. once you have to drive/work in winter conditions it becomes the worst

who’s the mope trying to make this a sports discussion?
December 26th, 2012 at 12:24 PM
I don’t even bother anymore. I have the ability to work from home, so any time it snows, I just pull the home office card. Fuck that shit. I’m not spending 3-4 hours a day in my car.

Goodness. LSU’s inferiority complex is worse than I thought.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
storms during rush hour are the best of the worst. i recall it taking a half hour to get across an intersection in oakbrook, illinois in 07, 08, 09, can’t recall exactly. worrying about running out of gas more than accidents, and being able to observe folks at their least courteous
December 26th, 2012 at 12:31 PM
just killing time until May 2012 post pops up
December 26th, 2012 at 12:33 PM
That’s awesome…I transferred to a hospital that is in my hometown 2 years ago so my normal commute of 45 minutes is now about 10. Throw in snow and bad road conditions and it could take me 2 hours either way before I transferred.
December 26th, 2012 at 12:35 PM
I could have taken the next three days off, but holy fuck, daytime tv is horrible and it is too cold outside to do anything fun.
yeah, it’s totally freezing. I’ve got plenty of stuff I could be watching, but I’ve got a sick asshole baby and a sick asshole kid.
So I can really only ignore them for a few minutes at a time.
Plus, my housekeeper is off this week, so I gotta clean my own house, like a mf-ing peasant.

Interesting article re: LSU bolting the SEC for the Big 12:
That article is straight retarded! How do you suggest LSU leave the SEC without even addressing the $$$ aspect? Yeah, right, like realignment is about competitive balance.
That was straight whining. Win and you will get better bowl games (and this is coming from an LSU alum).
December 26th, 2012 at 1:11 PM
i used to feel this way. then i embraced it and took up snowboarding.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
Had eggnog for the 1st time last night. Fuck eggnog.

I am redeemed. I refuse to try it. Sounds disgusting. I got shamed the other night for saying that.
Man, this place died on a dime.

It’s kidtime here kc…fortunately gym is open again
December 26th, 2012 at 1:40 PM
‘
I am right there with you KC, would never try it on name alone. Once someone told me the ingredients I was sure it would never be something I could drink.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:41 PM
a fine holiday drink for me this year was either woodford or Sam Adams White Christmas
December 26th, 2012 at 1:42 PM
I love eggnog. Use Captain Morgan’s Black in it and it’s perfect. Extra cinnamon and nutmeg. Fantastic.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:43 PM
Agreed. Never tasted it. It’s the same consistency/appearance issue I have with mayonnaise.
As for the commenting deadness…a football post is clearly in order.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
To me Brandy just doesn’t mix well with milk and eggs or whatever’s in eggnog. It is sweet but it doesn’t taste good at all. I don’t get it.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Got a good game for Christmas – “Wits and Wages”.
Lot of fun for wide ranges of ages.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
No eggnog for me. Tried it once, never again. I’ll stick to bourbon on the rocks or bourbon with a splash of ginger.

I assume you mean beyond the language barrier? Them not being able to read social cues (American standards)and being extremely literal about everything?

Any brown liquor with nog works. Anyone ever have glog? Strong and smells great
December 26th, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Oh yeah. Beyond language.
And so many of them have ideas in their head and just don’t listen. I’ve got two here that will attempt to complete my sentences or start answering questions before I’ve completed my statement. Out-right rudeness combined with the assumption they’er the smartest person in the room.
One guy here must hate me – I wish I was paid based on how many times I’ve said “Raj – please wait and let me finish!”
December 26th, 2012 at 1:56 PM
I love it when they tell me to “do the needful”. My knee jerk is a quick Fuck you, but certain it’s just a phrase they use.
December 26th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
“do the needful”
I haven’t heard that one.
December 26th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
jeez… i can’t believe i forgot how much of a dirty little whore greztky’s daughter is.
December 26th, 2012 at 2:43 PM
This is not happening in any of our lifetimes. Just Rabalais playing the extreme homer card.
December 26th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Perhaps he really said “do the needle,” which takes on an entirely different meaning.
