Roundup: Voice of Charlie Brown Arrested, Kentucky Lost Again & Sloane Stephens Slays Serena Williams Down Under
Lacey Chabert is in a new movie … voice of Charlie Brown arrested in San Diego … definitely one of the coolest Grantland posts ever … LSD, Moonshine found by police in traffic stop … Sepinwall hated The Following, but I really liked it … rural drunk-driving will now be OK in Ireland … it’s really, really cold this week in Idaho … “Portland Police Arrest Man for Spying on Co-Worker Using a Breast Pump” … more Honey Badger, because you can’t get enough of him … yikes, scary political arrest in Vegas … Beyonce lip-synced at the Inauguration …

January 23rd, 2013 at 9:00 AM
Heel, heel, errr, I mean Hear, hear. UNC better be looking to play some ball tonite vs GATECH. GT might be young, but they will come ready to play tonite. UNC -10.5 too many pts IMO. UNC looked a little off in the 2nd half vsMD after they jumped out to a big lead in the 1st. Better be ready to run all nite and not take a half off.
Speaking of college bball. Aaron Craft is over-rated. Too many lazy passes across the court. He may be the OSU leader in steals, but his ball-handling leaves little to be desired. Lot of selfish players on this OSU team. Up 53-29 in the 2nd half and you have to hold on to beat IOWA?
Of course, I’m bummed cause I was laying 10 pts and they won by 9. Damn you Buckeyes!

wayne brady’s training day skit was the funniest skit ive ever seen on television.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:04 AM
Ya think? I personally like the fact that a great defensive guard gets some recognition. I love to watch him play D.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:05 AM
I hate to say it, but last night’s Justified episode was the worst one I can recall since Season One. The whole revival tent/preacher/sister thing is just off the rails.

WU TANG!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:07 AM
The turnovers and bad ball handling are new this year. If he even had a hint of offensive game, OSU goes places. But he doesn’t, so they won’t.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:08 AM
This.

“Is Wayne Brady gonna have to chokeabitch”

January 23rd, 2013 at 9:08 AM
Really? I thought it was a fun episode. Someone playing the same con on Boyd that he played a few years back.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:08 AM
I forgot how funny the Samuel Jackson beer skit was, if only b/c a buddy of mine is a die hard sam Jackson fan and hated it.
Clayton Bigsby is definitely the #1.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:09 AM
Aaron Craft is over-rated.
He’s properly rated when he has played KU three times in the past two years.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:09 AM
The whole revival tent/preacher/sister thing is just off the rails.
Luckily, it seems that storyline would appear to be finished.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:09 AM
I will say he plays great defense, but as for running the offense, he’s mediocre at best. Does not see the open man until it’s too late and throws an errant pass. I saw him 3 consecutive trips down the floor, loose a dribble, throw a bad pass and charged for an offensive foul.
When he went out with 2 fouls in the 1st half, the offense picked up its play. He may play great Def, but his offensive presence is lacking, especially for a 2nd yr starter

Yeah, but did she become elite after being an unknown 3rd round pick?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:13 AM
I thought it was a good episode. Maybe it didn’t get me a full on marshall rager but there was definitely some stiffness.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:13 AM
I’m not mad at Beyonce for lip-synching. Some dude on CNN was quoted yesterday that the accompanying Marine Corps band was also pre-recorded.
If that is true, dang.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:13 AM
it was a lot of exposition for the whole season in one episode.
the mob boss from last season is still in the picture, art really sounds like he’s tying up loose ends and trying to get a replacement from his own department, sooner rather than later the more episodes we see.
topping Quarles as a villain will be tough, but I like where the season is going so far.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:14 AM
See:
OSU wins 2 or 3 outta 3 if Craft is a offensive threat. Hell, both KU and Duke stopped guarding him this year cause he can’t hit an open look.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:15 AM
WS of Dice got a tough draw. My name’s Leonard Washington. Where I’m from? A little town called None Of Your Goddamn Business.

Don’t understand the outrage over lip-syncing. She still sang the song. Just had it recorded beforehand.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:16 AM
not really that surprising since most artists that incorporate dance routines in their live shows are lipsynced anyway, and most probably have voices that are digital creations, so it’s not surprising they hardly sing live, even in front of the president.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:17 AM
Someone playing the same con on Boyd that he played a few years back. Der
It seems too obvious. I still love Justified and they’ll probably have some awesome conclusion to that angle. And maybe it is that I am from the Midwest, but it never occurred to me that the writers twist in that episode was that the snakes had the venom out. I just knew that snake handling preachers do that. So the twist was lost on me.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:18 AM
I don’t think there is a definitive #1, but yeah, that one is close to it.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:18 AM
It’s worse, it’s his 3rd year. The guy behind him can’t shoot, either. Which is why you hear OSU fans bitch about “missing” on Trey Burke, who can shoot. Then Craft goes and shuts him down.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:19 AM
Can’t believe Raylan’s ladyfriend would do him dirty like that…hopefully this heartbreak leads to him killing people again
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:19 AM
We’re all talking about her singing, where we should be worried about how she looks. I will rectify that.
Damn, she’s good looking.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:19 AM
Racial draft over Mad Real World in the Sweet 16 is a travesty. Loved this though.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:20 AM
During one OSU game this year the announcer was going on and on about how he completely re-worked his jumpshot in the offseason, putting in a ton of work. All I could thinks was “THAT’S what he came up with???”. I notice his 3 point pct. is lower this year than either of the previous two years. Back to the drawing board.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:20 AM
the mob boss from last season is still in the picture,
Ok. That was interesting. I look forward to that coming along. I thought they were completely going to be done with S3 plotlines.
Hell, both KU and Duke stopped guarding him this year cause he can’t hit an open look.
We call that Gottleibing.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:21 AM
Michigan was daring Craft to shoot outside too. He is what he is at this point.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:21 AM
Kaisers, yep.
To me, I would expect a DoD band to be highly proficient in playing their particular service’s song and the national anthem, anywhere/anytime.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:21 AM
I agree, the twist wasn’t hard to see coming, however, it’s a plot device to raise the stakes. either he recovers and his congregation is stronger and it backfires, or he loses his congregation and gets down to boyd’s level.
good way to take it, either outcome. lots of moving pieces already to make it interesting.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:21 AM
Grantland throwing a bracket out in January was quite the curveball. What tired device will they go with in March?

Love this. Also, “curtains” is a go-to.
Justified was good, not great. I don’t care what happens, I just want Raylan to give me snark and an occasional killing.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:23 AM
I don’t know if Tonin was as much a plot line as others. Quarles was a crazy tip of the iceberg type and if I recall Wynn Duffy made a deal with Tonin, didn’t he?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:23 AM
I think it was Gus last nite talking about this “hitch” in his shooting now.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:23 AM
So good, it hurts. She’s so far beyond regular guys like me, it ain’t funny.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:23 AM
This is what I don’t get – he’s got the quicks break people down off the dribble and get to the rim (ala Michael Conley on that Final Four run), but he won’t do it. That’ll at least get him to the line 5-6 times a game.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:24 AM
Yes. Aaron Croft shoots with two hands like a 9-year old. It’s a crime against the game.

This is kind of the perfect analogy, because Obama’s not even close to being a true liberal. People on the right like to say he is, but he’s not.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:43 AM
Not as badly though, and it is relatively easy to compensate for as well.

Jamarcus Russel is trying to break SB winner Jared Lorenzen’s record for fattest QB in a pro game at 308 lbs. This pic from his 2011 UIFL team made me almost spit out my coffee.

SROD, you need an all sessions pass to CRM’s RomComCon. 72 straight hours and Steve will have you thinking you can land any woman on the planet.
Also, try taking off your glasses. You might be totally hot and not even know it.

Puh-lease. This “outrage” is hysterical. I mentioned Whitney because she did the same thing with the same song 20 years ago. This isnt new. At least Beyonce didnt screw it up like Christina Aguilera did at the Super Bowl.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:48 AM
How the hell does he move on the field? I remember seeing him at UK and thinking he was a strong-armed QB, but beefy. Now he’s just plain fat.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:48 AM
True, but then why go through with the charade?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:48 AM
I have seen the future
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:49 AM
Good Gawd Tiffani is fine!! Just alternate Tiff and Salma in the round up every other day.

Its also hard to do lacey chabert outside in the cold

Not sure it is the most competitive league. His lineman in this pic of “game action” looks like Billy Bob in Varsity Blues.

What about vocal chords?
/just asking
//not a singer.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:53 AM
Because the cello sounds better than hiring an accordion player to ring in a new presidency

He looks happy. He is owning his fatness. Good for him.

That wasn’t like a show in Madison Square Garden. It was a global broadcast and for a live attendance of millions. I could hear echo’s of the president down on the mall of what he said like 3-4 seconds ago. If the sound person (it was amazingly crisp up by outside the podium area) decided they wanted to National Anthem produced a certain way, due to a likely myriad of reasons – I’m sure it was the right call.
It’s the National Anthem. You can’t have it cut out or fail during an inauguration. Outdoors, cold day. Bunch of sound technicians up in here.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:55 AM
Agreed that inaugurations for sitting presidents are a massive waste of money and the hypocrisy of the blogerratti that eviscerated the people who got excited about the Royal Wedding is jarring.

I think Spencer is the only one upset. The rest of us are resigned to it.

Holy shit. That league uses the same size football my kid’s K-1st grade league used last fall.

Was she lip syncing for the Qaddafi family?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:58 AM
hilarious and true. applies to both the Executive and Legistlative branches.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:59 AM
So the very first qb Ray Lewis sacked in his career was Jim Harbaugh. Isnt that ironic.
/like raaaain on your wedding day….
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:59 AM
If Biden wins in 2016 I’d like a children’s choir sing Hells Bells at the inaugural.
Cuz all songs sound awesome when a children’s choir sings.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:00 AM
The most shocking thing was Kelly Clarkson switching sides and getting married to a man.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:00 AM
No it is not ironic, unless Lewis was playing offensive line and sacked his own quarterback.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Very hard to keep any instrument in tune in those conditions. So, would you prefer an out of tune live rendition or a taped in tune version? Not too much sympathy for Beyonce though.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:00 AM
+1 to both…These Russians are idiots for the way they drive on these snowy roads.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:01 AM

I’ve always wanted a Baptist Gospel choir to do “Bad Moon Rising.”

Wrong quote, damnit.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:03 AM
That made me laugh. Irony?
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:11 AM
save the outrage over the pomp and cicrumstance and lip syncing. i learned last fall that the Taps played at a vet’s funeral is pre-recorded even though a soldier was standing there with a trumpet to her lips
inauguration more important than a vet’s death?
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:12 AM
Harbaugh had to be a colt at that point in time. after that, I know they played a season or two together in Baltimore.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:15 AM

Bugle. And the reason what you heard was pre-recorded is nobody knows how to play the bugle anymore. http://www.operationtaps.org/Content/TheStory.html
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:20 AM
is that even a question?
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:22 AM
Harbaugh was playing for the Colts at the time.

they sure as hell did when he coached the cardinals

He’s addicted to the new Carmageddon game that features a Decepticon in northern Pakiston with bonus points for school children.

That’s pretty bad

Found these scumbags looking for free web work with the promise of equity. Don’t think these cunts have properly monetized a site for date rapists. I am sure you found this from your Google analytics, fuck you, you cunts. Also contact Ronny from this site he’s super into working for smedium v-neck bro types for free.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:43 AM
I know alot of you hate rap-hiphop. But im listening to Deltron 3030 and its simply mind blowing.

I’ve been to a funeral where the honor guard hits play on a boombox.

I watched a terrible Hallmark christmas movie in november only because Lacey Chabert was in it.
/hate myself
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:38 AM
I am related to her, but distantly, and through marriage. So I could still hit that and not violate any religious/genetic codes, right?
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:39 AM
I believe this has been common practice in the aftermath of Whitney Houston doing it at the Super Bowl.

K.C., I’m like the night janitor of the Roundup. Mop the place up, turn off the lights after the big party dies down.
