I think my rankings would shake out like this: Season 1 Season 5 Season 4 Season 3 Season 2 1 barely edges 5. 2 is easily last, although I still enjoyed it.

How exactly were you able to make a story about Jake Peavy getting arrested about the Astros? Jesus.

First impression: Ok song that will grow on me to a very high degree.

Honestly... I like everyone that's on PTI currently. The days of Jason Whitlock, Norman Chad, and Jackie MacMullen still send a chill down my spine, however.

First of all, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now. I was cracking up too because Kornheiser seemed legitimately pissed with LeBetard who threw in that totally random Geico joke. I had the same reaction as Reali, actually. That made it even funnier.

What would Darrent Williams, Javon Walker, and Brandon Flowers of the Killers even talk about? Do you think the Killers even watch sports? Do you think that the Broncos have even heard any of their songs? I knew there was a reason I saw that little tidbit of information nowhere else but here.

Interesting fight. I did not know that GSP was off the February show, and I'm not too happy about the news. Damn.

I'm a little late to the party as I just got back in town but the show was everything it needed to be. I convinced a bunch of non-UFC fans to order the show and now they are all hooked on MMA. All the matches were entertaining enough and no snoozers in the bunch, which helped. As did Keith Jardine's absolute murdering of Forrest Griffin. The double impact of the punches and then Forrest's head hitting the canvas was sick. We went to the bar after the PPV and I heard at least 5-7 different groups of guys...big groups...all talking about the show. I think the buy numbers are going to be in line with the projections. I can't wait for the February show.

Here's one for you: On the list of people you don't expect to get arrested... D-Train arrested for DUI this morning. Oops.

Link Story about Miguel Cabrera's potential to be the first $200M man in baseball since A-Rod and the second ever. Basically, without a new stadium, there is a 0% chance that he remains with the team past 2009 despite the fact that the front office does not want to get rid of him in any way, shape, or form. He will be 26 when he enters free agency. Bud Selig has stepped in and ramped up the efforts to get the Marlins a new stadium, but I still won't believe it until I see it. It's tough being a fan of such a small market team, especially one with such a terrible local fanbase.

Ugh. We need to keep making posts to get rid of the Granny thong from the newest page. Thanks, Rant. EDIT: Woooo. All it take was one.

Can anyone take this place seriously enough to make it feel like their head is going to explode? And if so, can you maybe find yourself a new hobby?

Did you even see it? He said he didn't DEMAND a trade. He NEVER said he didn't request one. His words were something to the effect of, "If you can't do something to change things around here, then I want out." That's a request.

If anybody thinks one negative feedback is going to get someone kicked off eBay, they are new to eBay. That's unheard of. It takes a heck of a lot more than one negative feedback to lose an account.

I don't know... am I wrong to find that skit as hilarious as I do? Just the motions and dance moves that Samberg and JT do crack me up and the song is catchy as hell. Everyone in my lab and that I've emailed the link too seem to really enjoy it as well. Maybe I'm just crazy but that skit made me laugh as much as anything I can remember in a long time.

I was right. It's the new Lazy Sunday. Hell, I pre-ordered mine. Link

Some of Tony Dungy's staff likes him more than others.

How long has Inside the UFC been on Spike? It's mostly just fluff but I find it highly entertaining. I had no idea it existed until Thursday.

I'm pretty sure Woody's sister has already passed away. I think he went back to Denver because he missed being a journalist. And for the record, Tim Cowlishaw is one thing that DOESN'T suck about ESPN. That buffet during ATH yesterday had me rolling with laughter, as he usually does.

It's hilarious and never stops cracking me up. I figured I'd let you guys take a look if you don't read Deadspin. Basically, the backstory is that Barbaro has a message board and a lot of people have gotten really carried away with it. Leaving very long messages FOR A HORSE about how inspirational it is and how they are praying for him. The messages are almost always accompanied by Bible verses, etc, and the whole thing is very funny and very sad at the same time. Well, Deadspin pointed it out and now they have a little war going on with the people at the Barbaro message board, who have predictably responded with responses that sounded like they were crafted by 5 year olds. Here's some links if you have 15-20 minutes to kill and want a chuckle... The surreal Barbaro message board Deadspin's take "Let's get one thing straight: right off the bat. It's a FUCKING horse." I'll also use this post as a reminder that if you aren't reading Deadspin on a daily basis, you should be.

So Josh Beckett (predictably) regressed after moving from the cavernous pitcher adoring Dolphins Stadium to the bandbox that is Fenway park and you mutants already want to make one of the best young pitchers in baseball into a closer? It's been shown countless times that a great starter is more valuable than a great reliever and maybe Beckett is taking some lumps in the American League but is the 2003 postseason that far behind you that you can't remember that Beckett possesses the capability to be untouchable? If you need a reminder, please find Game 5 of the 2003 NLCS along with games 3 and 6 of the 2003 World Series. And stop whining.

Not quite. It's a sports website. And these people are horse lovers. They're crazy. One of the posts on the message board (no longer on there) called Barbaro the second Christmas miracle and an inspiration to millions and it wasn't a joke.

Man, I wish somebody did. I had no idea there was one tonight.

Yeah, I got Boston for free off those samplers iTunes was giving away on Facebook all summer. I downloaded the rest of the CD and was mildly disappointed. Boston's good, though. I like a few of the other songs. Bullets comes to mind.
