So anyone want to place bets on where TO will land?

My first thought is the Giants would pick him up to make up for Burris, but I don't think they will do it.

T.O. will be a Raider, Redskin, or Patriot. Watch.

Of course. Who else would be so stupid to sign such a malcontent? I'd say Dallas as well, but he's already been there.

Yeah, I don't think he can wash out of the league before he plays for the Raiders.

Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

He and Michael Vick will lose a lot of games together.

'I shall of these three fools now make my purse,' Marbury was heard to say after the game, although he appeared to be addressing no one and perhaps spoke only to himself. 'These stars are of a free and open nature, / And think men honest that but seem to be so, / And will as tenderly be led by the nose / As asses are.'

The Keith & The Girl podcast had a bloke on a week or two ago who was a writer for the Onion. However, he didn't write the articles, just the headlines. Apparently the headlines come mostly from standup comics, which the paid permanent staff then write articles for. A weird way to do it. No wonder the articles are often so crappy in comparison to the awesome headline.

Last Friday at midnight the new Jets coach along with two assistants were camped outside a players house to recruit him as soon as the free agency signing period began. They ended up signing him to a $48,000,000 contract.

Yesterday the Jets forced all business operations employees to take a two week unpaid furlough during June. This is from a team that sells out every home game, and operates with a multi-billion dollar TV deal that has not seen any reduction in revenue. What a fucking joke.

Wait a second...are you saying that large corporations don't give a shit about the little guy? That is unexpected...

I kinda feel like you're saying that without realizing how many employees these teams actually employ. It certainly is not on the level of IBM or GM or anything.

Huh?

What does the size of the corporation have to do with anything? Are you suggesting we're not talking about hundreds of people here?

It doesn't have to be a large corporation for it to not care about it's employees. The more money the corp. makes, the more fuckage it likes to deliver to it's employees. Not all corps, but that's the general rule of them.

If that's what you were asking...

Italy eliminated Canada, in Canada.

A baseball tourney like the WBC is a bit of a crap shoot with small samples and all that, but, the Canucks bit the big one.

Oh, did anyone see the Dwayne Wade highlights from last night's 2OT game. That steal/game winner is something that comes out of the 'practicing baskets and making up your own game-winning scenario' handbook. D-Wade for MVP.

And, m0nty, good think for the players you didn't beat Colombia, because you know after losing to Australia, some heads would literally be rolling after a bad, embarassing loss like that.

Yeah, if this was hockey it would be a national crisis.  But it's not, so no one cares.

Woo! First place after day one. Chunk took the big hit in the Illinois upset since he had them in his final four. That sucks.

Not as busted as Gabe's, he had them going to the finals.

What a crappy day yesterday was. Chunk is in first, but it won't last for long.

Remember, though, that's the patented m0nty way of picking things anyway (always pick the favorite), so he's probably where he should be.

I'm surprisingly tied for second, though there isn't much gap between most of the non-jj people. I think I need Pittsburgh to win it all since I saw only two of us that picked them, and it would probably help if North Carolina choked in the Final Four or earlier, since a ton of you picked them as champion. I haven't done the math or anything though. Pitt has looked shaky so far, but there have been teams that did that the first weekend then put it together the last two.

Actually, only a few of you picked North Carolina, I must have been looking at the wrong line, or dimension or something. In any case, go Pitt, and Fuck Duke!

Speaking of One Shining Moment, the Rockets are in second place! For a day at least.Conference places 3, 5, and 8 are also in the same division, so it's real easy to go from 2nd to 7th, or worse. Just one badly timed losing streak and you're done. Meanwhile, the Lakers are 17 games ahead have clinched their division. Fuckers.
