Zephyrs sweep Laramie
The WESTCO Zephyrs matched-up with Laramie for the second time in nine days Tuesday night at Cleveland Field. The Zephyrs topped the Rangers 7-3 in a nine-inning game in Laramie July 1 and followed it up with a doubleheader sweep last night, 5-0 and 11-2.
Eric Moreno was nearly perfect in game one. He fired a one-hitter while striking out 13 on the way to his ninth win of the season. The only Laramie baserunner was Chance Jones, who had a two out single in the fifth.
The Zephyrs scored all the runs they needed with a three run third. Mark Moran's crew took advantage of wildness by the Laramie pitching staff. Ty Benson led off the inning with a walk. He advanced to third on a double by Tharyn Curtis, then Ty Dunkel and Beau Lofink were both hit by pitches, scoring Benson.
WESTCO added single tallies in the fifth and sixth innings to wrap up the scoring.
Benson started the second game for the Zephyrs and Laramie jumped on the unbeaten pitcher for a first inning run on two hits, but the
Zephyrs bounced right back with a two run bottom of the inning and never looked back.
The Z's had back to back four run third and fourth innings to pull away. Benson moved to 4-0 on the year, while the Zephyrs improved to 30-11 with a nine game win streak.
The Zephyrs have four games scheduled in Colorado this weekend to close out their regular season. They return home July 19 to host the Area Tournament. The Z's are the number one seed. They will play Hastings in a first round game that night at 7:30 p.m. The opening game is second seeded Kearney vs North Platte at 4:00 p.m.

That's the largest Margin of Victory all year. The Hornets really now how to tank (for two quarters, anyway)
With 1 Game left before the playoffs, the Mavs are rounding into form with the first Overtime Game of the Year. Or are they?
Not many players on the Suns that aren't already on vacation mentally. But nice that there was some Defense and a solid Margin of Victory. Take that Hollinger.
Jason Terry is in totol contrail. 13 Points scored 20 and was all over the Place. Chandler's back is back and Dirk's Dirk. Only French Jesus is currently faithless...
Weary, old, tired Mavs are rounding into Playoff form.
Good shooting night, productive backcourt, solid defense, big lead.....were not there.
Fight? There was no fight. Just some cock roosters..
NBA STAR taketh over. Why, you ask? Of course, it's the Clippers.
It's not Defense when the Opponent just misses shots, hmmkay?

3.6/5 rDev -7.2%
22oz bottle. Pours a murky brown with a frothy head. Good lacing. Aroma is a clash of hops and alcohol. Slightly bready. This beer has that usual Southern Tier sweetness to it. The flavors are hard to pinpoint. Taste has some hoppiness to it and maybe some sweet malt flavor. Not all that bitter. Although you can smell the booze the alcohol taste is very subtle for an ABV of 9.5%. Overall its a decent brew but I'd go for a few different Southern Tier bombers before I picked up this one again.

A new "big" beer produced by Southern Tier,a big red brewed with generous amounts of Hellertau hops,brewed in kettle with hellertau magnum and hellertau traditional hops,and dry hopped with hellertau magnum and perle hops.Pours a brilliant bronze with a tight 1 1/2 finger white head aromas are of complete balance of big caramel malt and citrusy/grassy hop that lingers softly.Flavors startout somewhat sweet and caramelly melding into a big hoppy citrusy finish that lingers on the tongue.A very nice "big" red the use of hellertau hops is pretty unique to the style and it comes together quite well.

3.75/5 rDev -3.4%
22 oz bomber from Chucks Fine Wines. $6.99 Bottle offers a lot of insight into the beer. Contains Halterau variations, chocolate, caramel, and 2 row pale malts. 9.5% ABV. 15 Degrees L. 20 Degrees P. 93 IBU. Advises to drink out of a snifter.
Appearance: Bright reddened copper. Initially large white head settles to skim.
Aroma: Fruity with lots of caramel and citrus juice. Hints of chocoalte. Halterau goodness.
Taste: Chocolate (more then expected) and caramel body. Very juicy as well but individual fruits are difficult to make out because my palate is rather overwhelmed by the bitterness. This could have used some time to meditate, 6 months or maybe even a year.
Mouthfeel: Bitter, American Barley Wine like. Full and strong. As it warms, increasing amounts of bitter fruit and booze come forward turning this more and more into an IPA like beer instead of a red. By the end I can barely taste the chocolate that was so abundant when this was cold.
Drinkability: Ok. This is pretty filling and very bitter. Some time would surely help.

3.93/5 rDev +1.3%
Appearance: Slightly cloudy, copper color with a thin head that dissipates moments after pouring. Carbonation appears minimal.
Aroma: Hoppy, malty profile with alcohol notes in the background. Slightly citrusy with flowery edge to it.
Taste: Very sweet malty body up front, bitter in the middle but it mellows in the finish. High ABV is definitely detectable in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied. Alomst syrupy.Slightly cloying but the bitterness helps to leave the mouth crisp.
Drinkability: This is a slow sipper due to its high ABV. Very tasty & full flavored, but must take it slow.
Comments: This was very tasty & full flavored. Good all around taste profile. I'd recommend this to fans of DIPA's.

3.25/5 rDev -16.2%
A - Pours copper, low to moderate carbonation, huge head that sticks around for a bit and leaves some lacing. Great looking beer if this were an IIPA or even pale ale, but it is supposed to be an amber and an amber it is not.
S - Sweet caramel, hay, some toast, and a bit of spiciness.
T - This tastes like it smells, but a bit subdued. Seems like it is almost all pale malt with a touch of caramel and only the faintest hint of the chocolate malt (that is actually good). The hops take a back seat to the malt that doesn't want to seem to take the forefront. There is nothing Imperial about this other than the name and perhaps ABV.
M - Feels over attenuated, there isn't enough body for an Imperial style ale. Not much going on here, I would expect to get a bit more warmth from the alcohol, so that is well hidden at 9%.
O - This is a boring and pedestrian example of an Imperial anything, let alone an Imperial Red Ale. I wouldn't even call this a red ale. Not a bad beer, just not to style and fairly one note. Not something I will get again.

Just got this in from a trade today. I've been wanting to try some Southern Tier brews for a while.
Caramel colored body. Perfectly clear. Offwhite head, about a half inch on the pour and now its only a thin layer on the top. Nice sporadic lacing.
Smell is strong with caramel and crystal malts and almost leads to a bit of raw sugar aroma. Nice floral hopping works in well. Alcohol peaks out as well, but it isn't that harsh. Simple overall, but pretty good.
Flavor is pretty unique and has a lot going on. Initially the crystal and caramel malts come out. The Hallertau hops offer up some floral and slightly herbal hoppiness next. Next are some slight roasted flavors towards the finish and after the swallow some bitterness lingers, in the form of pine, and alcohol notes begin to expose themselves. I like this. Don't know if it falls into the Imperial Red flavor category; I think it is more of a strong ale with a dominant hop side. Alcohol is a little too evident, but isn't overly fusal so it is easily tolerated.
Mouthfeel is alright, I'll let it slide by with it being called medium, but it seems a touch thin to me. Carbonation level is right on though. It adds a bit of crispness to compliment the hoppiness but not so much to mute a lot of the other flavors.
Good drinkability. I really like the flavors that are in this, its fairly complex, but the alcoholic nature holds it back. I'll have no issues finishing the bomber and I'd probably pick this up on occassion if it were more readily available.

Just introduced to this brewery; I'm very impressed. A 22oz bottle, poured into a snifter. It was a reddish orange color with a small white head. It had a fruit and malt aroma. The taste was more on the malt side, just a little fruit. Very good hops presence that lingered on. The flavors improved as the beer approached room temperature. Nice beer.

What is it with alcoholic beverages and farm machinery? Bedell Cellars on Long Island makes a red table wine that's highly drinkable with an old Ford farm truck on the label, now this. Great label BTW - all kinds of info, suggested glass - very good stuff.
Anyway, (holds snifter up to the light) Brilliant golden red witha white head that lasts forever. Very appetizing looking brew. Aroma of deep, caramelly malt and fresh, grassy, noble hops - all kinds of Hallertau varietals are in here, and it shows.
Starts off with a warm creamy mouthfeel, caramel-toffeeish, with a pervasive balanced hoppiness. Nice lingering bitterness, fresh to the point of being almost mintlike. Good hop flavor and spiciness, more English in style than German despite the Hallertaus in here. Alcohol is well controlled - not a lot of burn, although it shows up more when warm. I'd agree with the bottle - better when chilled (42) rather than cellar temperature. Finish is like, well... Think of your favorite red ale from any good brewpub - you know, the one that would be an ESB but it's a bit maltier and more "American" in style? Crank it to eleven. Nice lingering bitterness with a rounded maltiness. Drinkability is huge when chilled, lessens as it warms, but I don't recommend pounding bombers of this 9.5% ABV brew to get the best effect.
Nice effort - one of those "fits the bill" beers when you want something big but not a hop bomb, malt monster, or Belgian.

A big, fuzzy head quickly diminishes to a sparsely coated top. Big bubbles quickly give way to very small ones. Hoppy lacing makes its mark. It's not as red as I expected, but certainly a light copper brown--light enough that it's totally translucent. The brown tint gives sweet vibes.
The smell is caramel, chocolate, and hops. Were it not for the last of these, I'd think I was smelling candy. If the beer looks at all sweet, it smells even sweeter. I detect maybe even a hint of cinnamon. Maybe when I think of reds I unfairly expect more oak (a la Carolina's own Red Oak), but I'm taken aback by the sweet smell on this sucker.
The taste is the smell: caramel first, chocolate second, and hops last. If I hadn't so closely analyzed the look and odor, I'd be really surprised by the sweetness. Able to brace for it, I enjoy it more. The hops add a nice bittering effect, particularly on the aftertaste. They don't dazzle via smell or taste, but they do offer the basic dependability as described on the label. On that note, kudos to Southern Tier for the most spot-on, informative labels in my craft beer experience. I have yet to encounter an ST that didn't deliver precisely as its label descriptor said it would. For a big (9%) red--an aptly named beverage--this is a good tasting experience.
The sweetness at the onset of each sip really provides a candy-like mouthfeel. Coupled with the lingering hop bite, it's really a unique and enjoyable effect. While it's nothing extraordinary or extreme, it's solidly good. In fairness, though, the sweetness that dominates the taste hampers drinkability. Too many of these and you're clutching your stomach like a kid left alone at the candy shop.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 1pint 6oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a deep reddish/orange amber body with a slight haze. On top is a creamy egg shell white colored head, which is about two fingers tall and quickly settles to a thin covering. This small cap of foam hangs on well and makes lots of spotty and slick lace patterns on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has loads of caramel maltiness and sweet bready notes with a solid backing of perfume like citrusy hops.
Taste/Palate: There is a good solid load of bready and caramel like maltiness with a very slight hint of bitter chocolate. Right up there on the tongue with the malt base are the hops which bring solid bitterness and floral and spicy citrus flavor. The palate has smooth slightly slick but well carbonated feel and the finish has a slow hop bitter fade.
Notes: This is an overlooked and I think under rated beer from Southern Tier. At 9.5% abv it is way too easy to drink.

Pours a pretty clear amber color with a nice frothy 1/2 inch head that retains wonderfully. Nice lacing as well.
Aroma is of lots of sweet malts and a big citrus hop smell. Im picking up some dark, overripe fruits as well along with some toffee notes.
Taste is sweet malts up front along with citrusy hops. For some reason I am picking up a cocoa flavor. Some caramel and toffee flavors..even some rye which I am pretty sure isnt even in this beer. Nice hop bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel is full bodied but not too heavy, perfect amount of carbonation, semi-dry finish. Very drinkable and tasty. Southern Tier never lets one down.

Bomber bottle purchased at NYC's gem of a beer store, New Beer on Christie st., god I love visiting that place!....anyway, I also love big beer and guess what, this is a lovely, BIG beer. Pours a nice dark honey, almond amber, semi cloudy with a fine and tiny bubble, creamy, light tan head. A gentle swirl leaves plenty of fine, scattered and splotchy lacing. So far so good. Caramel and smoky, nutty notes on the nose. This is a well hopped, very smooth and tasty ale. Layers of malt, balancing spicy hops. Lingering oily hops on the palate, spice and heat ever present. Delicious, heady brew. Great tasting, easy drinking, another very worthy offering from NY's Southern Tier Brewing.

2008 bomber.
Pours with barely a half finger of head. Hardly a ring of lacing remains. Clear amber in color. Smells Carmely sweet and a sour twang, we suspected the bottles from this vintage to be infected and this definitely is. Tastes sweet and carmel, sour tart lactic acid, shoe leather, tart cherry, some hop bitterness. Hard to swallow after a few ounces. Medium full bodied, medium carbing. Overall this is a let down and sad to know that I've now had three different new and old infected bottles from ST.
Drain poured after 4 ounces shared among friends.

Appearance: minimal head, medium carbonation, redish brown, clear
Smell: big does of malt and some hops
Taste: an excellent mix of hops and malt. Caramel and pine dominate, there is also a taste of tea.
Mouthfeel: very smooth, medium light bodied, medium carbonation, sweet start that mixes with bitter and ends with a slightly bitter aftertaste
Drinkability: I just love the way the hops and malt dance in this brew. This is slightly more hoppy than malty, but the mix is there. I couple have a couple of these. The alcohol is well hidden. While not ST most complex, it is a very good beer.

Served in a tulip from a bomber.
A: Cloudy apricot. More of a dull orange. The original pour left about one finger worth of head and there is some sparse lacing.
S: I'm getting some very smooth malt scents. I'm not detecting much in the line of hops.
T: This is where the hops come in. Piney, somewhat spicy flavor. Doesn't finish dry...I'm continuing to detect the hops.
M: Sort of oily. Not watery at all. This is definitely one to sip and savor.
D: Since I'm enjoying from a bomber, I think "one and done" is sufficient.
Overall: This is pretty good. The other Southern Tier that I've tried all seem to have a theme. I don't think that's the case here. It's still good though. I'd get it again.

The beer pours a hazy orange-yellow-brown color with a white head. The aroma is very similar to a barleywine. I get a lot of caramel malt along with some citrus and chocolate. The flavor is heavy on the caramel malt with some orange citrus notes. There is not much alcohol present. Low to medium bitterness. I also get some piney hops and some chocolate malt. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.

Big Red opens with a malty, yeasty nose that bears a strong resemblance to floury baguettes, wheat toast crust, and yeasty rising bread dough. The aromas at first are largely breads and grains--perhaps eighty percent--but some touches of orange and apricot come through, as does a sprinkling of lemon, grapefruit rind, and pine resin from the hops, and a touch of brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla. But then something strange happens: after the beer has been let to air for a minute or so, the aromas suddenly take on much sweeter tones, with Jolly Rancher-like cherry and watermelon candies bubbling to the surface in syrupy goodness, and the hops sprouting forth with greater pink grapefruits and lemon candies. As a whole, I was at first unimpressed with the nose, but the sudden rush of candied sugars reversed this opinion rather suddenly, and the beer now smells delicious and very drinkable.
On the tongue, the first notes are of breads and toast, but these are joined a split-second later by orange, cherry, apricot, melon, and berry fruit esters, supported well by vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar. The flavors are largely sugary sweet here, but not overly so, for a peppery spice and some toasted nuts linger just beneath the surface, and the hops, while they do contribute some sweet lemons and pink grapefruits, also bring in a nice countering dose of pine resin, dandelion stem, and eucalyptus. As the beer remains on the tongue and the sugars slowly die off, a larger bread and grain base emerges, and just at the end the hops add a pleasantly bitter dash of dandelion stem and pine sap. The aftertaste is largely these latter hop notes, with touches of bread and sugar, and lingers on the tongue for a good while. Mouthfeel is medium, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is delicious beer, being very nicely balanced so that the sugars, bitters, and breads work in near-perfect harmony, emphasizing and building off each others' flavors. It says much that the 9% ABV is hardly noticeable during the mouthful, being mostly present as a light alcoholic vapor on the breath after swallowing. But as another mouthful quickly resolves even this tiny problem, the beer obviously boasts enough flavor--flavor that, by the way, doesn't diminish from mouthful to mouthful--to overcome any problems. Recommended.

Appearance is slightly hazy orange with just a hint of ruby highlights. Hmmm. Was expecting it to be more "red". Decent off-white head lingers for a moment then settles to a thin ring around the edge of the glass. Aroma has some really nice spicey and resiny hop aroma along with decent malt. Taste is full of sweet malt coupled with that resiny hop flavor. Hop bitterness is just a hair under moderate and doesnt' really balance the extreme sweetness. The mouthfeel is full but the finish is overly sweet and almost cloying. In fact, this beer tastes a little under attenuated. Bring the gravity down and I bet this beer would be truly something special. Having said that, I would definately try this beer again. Maybe this batch had a tired yeast strain because it definately has potential.

93 IBU's of hallertau magnum and hallertau tradition, dry hopped with hallertau magnum and perle.
Pale malt, caramel malt, and chocolate malt.
Pours from the bottle a clear ruddy orange with a thick and frothy inch high white head that lingers long.
Aroma of cinnamon, biscuity malt and spicy hops with some citrus.
Rich and full mouthfeel leads to big hoppy and spicy flavors. Some sweet citrus and tangy grapefruit, especially in the lingering aftertaste. Some subtle alcohol vapors rise up, but are not too overppowering. Sweet honey emerges as it warms, and a sweet and grainy/grassy/citrusy flavor that's hard to pinpoint, reminds me of the taste you steal from the hydrometer after taking the OG reading.
Very tasty and drinkable beer, another good one from Southern Tier.

Picked up for a good price at the Six Pack shop in Moon Township...it appears a caramel amber red hue with a large tuffet of caramel tan head after slowly dwindling down it leaves fine annular specks of lacing around my chalice. Aromatics don't let me down with large doses of herbal grassy citrus noble hops...Hallertau both regular and dry hopped in this one, read the label it's an Imperial Red ale designed around different varieties of Hallertau...kick ass. Malt presence is rather imperial with big lucious bountiful caramel toned breadiness to balance out all that hopage. Flavor is upfront with the bitterness and simply bursts open the door with hop flavors like citrus and grassy herbal hop tones matched beautifully with a caramel toasted nut malt bill that balanced so well yet remained aggressive throughout the 22oz. portion. Mouthfeel is medium to fuller bodied to me and has very smooth even carbonation all topped with streaks of oily hop resins running along the palate. Drinkability...so freakin' effortless the flavor keeps me craving this succulent masterpiece while the alcohol warns me not to over consume.

Pours a clear light amber color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of sweet caramel malts with a hint of toastiness. As it warms light amounts of spicy pine hop aromas waft out.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sweet caramel malt flavors up front have the sweetness taper off a bit midway through the sip as a solid bitterness enters into things. The piney hop flavors are a bit more pungent than the smell would indicate, however they still take a backseat to the malts.
Mouthfeel is very good. It has a smooth thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished the bottle without a problem and could have another.
Overall this is a very solid double red. I would like to see a bit more hops to balance out the sweetness but that's not to say that it's not very tasty as it is. Worth a shot.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer has a warm nutty pecan colored body that is clear with a wall of tiny bubbles gliding to the surface. There is a sticky off-white head that makes rings with each sip.
S- The smell of soft honey toasted malt has some notes of dry toasted malt coming through as it warms. There is a nice green fresh aroma of hops that doesn't really have citrus qualities or noble qualities.
T- This beer has a soft dry toasted malt flavor with some good freshness and nice depth. There is a light sweetness to the finish of the malt and just enough biscuit and raw grain flavor to add support without overpowering the other flavors. The finish has a dandelion greens bitterness to the hops with a floral quality to it. There is a nice bitterness that balances the malt but doesn't linger.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a slight sticky texture and no alcohol heat.
D- This beer has a real nice depth to the grain bill and a good hop flavor to support it. The hops have a nice twist to them and although they have a nice presence they are not the only flavor in this imperial red.

---- — SALEM — Big changes are planned at Sal's Pizza on North Broadway.
Representatives from Sal's are scheduled to appear before the Planning Board on March 14 to present plans for redevelopment of the restaurant property at 29-39 North Broadway, according to town planning director Ross Moldoff.
Sal's wants to demolish its building and an adjacent structure on the 1.1-acre site to construct three new buildings, according to the proposal by principal and senior project manager Kevin Dandrade and engineer Richard Friberg Jr. of TEC Engineering of Lawrence.
The two Sal's representatives notified the town last week they would seek approval for a pizza restaurant and pub, a second restaurant, and room for offices and retail — providing space for several businesses, Moldoff said.
"It's a big redevelopment," Moldoff said yesterday. "I'm very excited about it. I think they will be very attractive buildings."
Brothers Sal and Mike Lupoli opened Sal's first store in Salem in 1990. The North Broadway location opened in the late 1990s, Moldoff said.
Sal's, headquartered in Lawrence and owned by Lupoli Companies, now has more than three dozen restaurants in several states.
The second building to be demolished was occupied by Portland Glass for years and is now home to an antique business, Moldoff said.
The new pizza restaurant would be located in a 3,520-square-foot, single-story building. The second restaurant, which would likely cater to the breakfast crowd, would be in a two-story building next door, according to the proposal.
There would be 2,000 square feet for the restaurant on the first floor and 2,000 square feet of office space on the second floor.
The third building would feature 2,000 square feet of retail space on the first floor and 2,000 square feet of office space on the second floor.
One key aspect of the project is that all the parking would be behind the buildings, allowing for the front to be attractively landscaped — something retailers and community planners relish, Moldoff said.
"That's a planner's dream," he said.
Even though an additional building would be constructed, the overall square footage would be reduced from 13,399 to 11,520.
The entrance to the plaza would be relocated and the site designed to accommodate the future widening of North Broadway. Pavement would removed and a landscaped buffer strip would be built along North Broadway. The site would connect to the rail trail.
The project represents a continuation of the positive redevelopment already taking place in the area, Moldoff said. Sal's is down the street from Tuscan Kitchen and Tuscan Market, Moldoff said.
"That will be a big help in getting the Depot area going," Moldoff said.
Dandrade and Friberg could not be reached for comment yesterday.

I will be very anxious to hear how Packers GM Ted Thompson will attempt to justify the second-round selection (56th overall) of Purdue DE Mike Neal.
My best guess is that Thompson is looking at the 6-3, 294-pounder as an insurance policy for DLE Johnny Jolly, a restricted free agent who hasn't signed his tender and whose status is clouded by his pending trial for felonious possession of codeine from a 2008 arrest in Houston.
But based on everything I've heard and read about this well-built Boilermaker, Neal is better-suited as a three-technique tackle.
Beyond that, while he does pass the eyeball test with flying colors, has excellent strength and has good initial quickness that enables him to penetrate gaps pretty effectively, the word from the scouting community is that his motor runs hot and cold, and he too often gets blown off the ball by double-teams.
Obviously, Thompson and Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who did a masterful job in his first season with personnel that many observebelieved have real problems converting to his 3-4 scheme, see something in Neal that they must really like to have taken him in the second round.
But this is a defender that PFW projected as a third-round pick at best, and possibly a fourth-rounder.
Granted, Neal made a very positive impression in the East-West Shrine Game, looking dominant at times.
But while Green Bay's first-round selection of OT Bryan Bulaga was as safe and solid as can be, the selection of Neal must be considered a bit of a head scratcher until further notice.

Gumbel Coselled?
NFL | Gumbel could be in trouble
Mon, 21 Aug 2006 11:30:36 -0700
The Associated Press reports broadcaster Bryant Gumbel could be in trouble for remarks he made about NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and NFLPA president Gene Upshaw. Gumbel suggested that Tagliabue show his successor "where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash." Gumbel is scheduled to be the play-by-play broadcaster on the eight late-season games on the NFL's in-house network. Tagliabue said Monday, Aug. 21, that incoming commissioner Roger Goodell and Steve Bornstein, who runs the NFL Network, will discuss the remarks after Goodell takes office Sept. 1. Tagliabue's response to Gumbel's comment: "What Gumbel said about Gene Upshaw and our owners is about as irresponsible as anything I've heard in a long time."
Re: Gumbel Coselled?
Didn't know Gumbel had it in him, I applaud him for that, Gene is an idiot.

Re: Gumbel Coselled?
Didn't Gumble also make the comments about the Winter Olympics?
I believe he said something along the lines that he wasn't interested in an event where it was 99% white, that it had nothing he wanted to see because there was not black people.
Isn't that a racist remark?What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Re: Gumbel Coselled?
Thats most definetly a racist remark.
Imagine if someone said " I don't watch the NBA because it's 92% black"
Now how do you think I would be received if I said a crap remark like that?

I don't see that this is a big deal. It probably wasn't the smartest thing someone employed (at least partially) by the NFL has said, but he is a sportscaster and commentator, so he's entitled to his opinion.

Re: Gumbel Coselled?
I got to thinking that there are a bunch of members that weren't following the NFL back in the MNF Cosell days.
The title of the thread was referring to Cosell moving on based on his comments.
I use to like Cosell, MNF half-time was the only chance we had to see what was going on around the league...pre espn and all that stuff.
Now we have to endure Kornhole and the pathetic MNF crew, it has lost it's luster.
Anyway, here's a blurb in history compliment of Wikipedia.com regarding Cosell's departure....will Gumbel follow the same path?
Cosell drew criticism during one Monday Night Football telecast in September 1983, for calling a wide receiver for the Washington Redskins, Alvin Garrett, a "little monkey." While some saw the term as having a racial connotation, many who knew Cosell were quick to point out that he used this term routinely in an approving way to describe quicker, smaller players of all ethnicities. Among the evidence to support this claim is video footage of a 1972 preseason game, between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs, that features Cosell referring to Mike Adamle, a 5-foot-9-inch, 197-pound Caucasian, as a "little monkey."
Re: Gumbel Coselled?
Bryant Gumbel is an arrogant jerk...plain and simple!
I wonder if his Caucasian wife takes issue with his attutude towards white athetes.
Or if his Caucasian ancestors would either...BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE

Re: Gumbel Coselled?
POSTED 5:15 p.m. EDT, August 21, 2006
The Associated Press reports that outgoing NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said on Monday that incoming Commish Roger Goodell and NFL Network chief Steve Bornstein will discuss after September 1 remarks recently made by Bryant Gumbel on his HBO show.
Implicit in Tagliabue's comments is the possibility that Gumbel might be nudged out of his new job as play-by-play announcer for the NFL Network's slate of eight regular-season games.
Gumbel's gaffe?
He publicly took a shot at the NFL and the NFL Players Association.
In closing remarks from last Tuesday's show that were aimed at Goodell, Gumbel said:
"Before he cleans out his office, have Paul Tagliabue show you where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash.
By making the docile head of the players union his personal pet, (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/specials/preview/2006/08/21/bc.fbn.gumbel.nflnetwor.ap/index.html)
your predecessor has kept the peace without giving players the kind of guarantees other pros take for granted.
Try to make sure no one competent ever replaces Upshaw on your watch."
Gumbel also advised Goodell to "keep a close eye on the ugly owners' split that surfaced last March" and to "[g]ently remind those millionaires who gave you the job that they are already making obscene amounts of money." (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/story/444483p-374331c.html)
Said Tagliabue in response:
"What Gumbel said about Gene Upshaw and our owners is about as irresponsible as anything I've heard in a long time."
Our view?
Gumbel's words are more ignorant than irresponsible.
If anything, the perception of late has been that Tagliabue was wearing the collar, and that Upshaw possessed the pooper-scooper.
After all, the union successfully changed the formula for funding the salary cap by expanding significantly the universe of revenues that will be used to determine the team-by-team spending limit.
The union also pumped up the salary floor, which in some cities is more important than the salary cap, since a low floor permits teams like the Cardinals to enhance their profit margin by keeping player costs to a minimum.
And there's a strong sense that the union stuck it to the NFL as to the non-economic terms, such as the restriction of bonus forfeitures and the elimination of the ability of teams to pay a troublemaker to stay home.
Also, Upshaw's primary flaw (as we see it) hasn't been that he's allowed himself to be pushed around by the NFL, but that he has given high-profile agents like Tom Condon (who coincidentally represents Upshaw) far too much influence over the manner in which the NFLPA does its business.
As a general proposition, the rank-and-file players would love to get rid of the lottery prizes paid to the first handful of guys drafted each year, since those windfalls to unproven players can otherwise go to veterans who have scratched and clawed a career in pro football.
But because the agents who routinely represent one of more of those Powerball winners don't want to give up their cut of deals that are worth multiple millions of dollars, the union pretends that it's not an issue.
Likewise, the union never has pushed for fully-guaranteed player contracts, which are now prevalent in all other major league sports.
Why not?
In our view, the high-end agents realize that guaranteed contracts would result in less cap space for those huge signing bonuses.
Plus, guaranteed salaries would wipe out the bogus back end numbers that appear in many superstar contracts, and that the agents then use as bait for the next wave of potential top-ten draft picks.
Gumbel's comments also are stoopid because he has taken a reckless hip shot at the 32 people who each own a piece of the network for which he'll be working.
Don't get us wrong on this.
Gumbel's willingness to say what he thinks reflects a high degree of integrity, and his desire to stir things up is a rarity in a media populated by so many folks who are afraid to tell the truth.
However, saying what you think has as much value as the bark of a teacup poodle if what you're saying is incorrect.
Sure, all of the owners are making money.
But if the extra millions in unshared money earned by the big-market teams are going to drive up the salary cap for the franchise that can't and never will realize that kind of revenue, the imbalance could eventually impact the on-field level of competitiveness.
That's why the issue is so important, despite the fact that the folks who'll be most affected by its resolution will continue to be filthy rich.
You'd think that Gumbel would be smart enough to figure that out.
He surely thinks that he is.
There's a difference, then, between "telling it like it is" and "spouting off about issues you don't fully understand."
In our belief, the courage to be candid should be rooted in a confidence that the criticisms offered are correct.
So in Gumbel's case, his biggest sin wasn't speaking his mind.
It was allowing his mind to be made up based on an inaccurate assessment of the available facts.
Re: Gumbel Coselled?
he is a commintator. that is his job.We're bringing purple back.

- Allmendinger To Compete In MAVTV 500 Season Finale
October 09, 2013 | By Dave Lewandowski
Allmendinger To Compete In MAVTV 500 Season Finale
Team Penske has added a third driver with big oval experience to its lineup for the MAVTV 500 INDYCAR World Championships in an effort to secure Helio Castroneves the IZOD IndyCar Series championship.
AJ Allmendinger will drive the No. 2 IZOD Team Penske car in the season finale Oct. 19 at the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. He competed in five races in the first half of the season, with a best finish of seventh (led 23 laps) in the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race after starting fifth. Allmendinger made his series debut at Barber Motorsports Park in early April, starting 10th and finishing 19th.
"I'm looking forward to racing the IZOD Chevy in the INDYCAR season finale," said Allmendinger, who will make his sixth IZOD IndyCar Series start for Team Penske. "It's always a great opportunity to compete for Team Penske and I had great time and a solid result racing the IZOD car in the last 500-mile race back in May at the Indianapolis 500. Hopefully, we can close out the season with another good finish for Team Penske and for Chevrolet."
Allmendinger will join Castroneves and Will Power, winner of two of the past four races, on the starting grid. Castroneves enters the 250-lap race 25 points behind championship front-runner Scott Dixon of Target Chip Ganassi Racing. Dixon needs to finish fifth to claim his third series title.
"AJ has been a good addition to our team this season and he was terrific racing the IZOD Chevrolet in the Indianapolis 500," team owner Roger Penske said. "With his experience racing on the Auto Club Speedway oval in the past we believe he will be very competitive as we try and end the season with a strong result for Team Penske."
Allmendinger won five races in Champ Car from 2004-06, but the 31-year-old California native hasn't competed at the speedway in an Indy car. He's driven there often in stock cars. In addition to his IZOD IndyCar Series races, Almendinger has earned two victories while competing with Penske Racing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this season.
Chevrolet enters the last race of the 2013 season tied with Honda in the IZOD IndyCar Series manufacturer's championship. Each engine supplier has produced nine victories on the season so the winner at Auto Club Speedway will claim the series manufacturer's title.

72Everyone is Pregnant!!!
Hello world!
My name is Bobby and I will be your new celebrity gossip writer as of the beginning of February. I know that you are going to be ruthlessly critical, and I expect nothing less. Until recently, I, too, used to tear apart celebrities and authors alike in the comments, but consider yourselves warned! To get this job I had to bribe and coerce and blackmail people, and when that didn't work, I sent Sarah a severed horse head, so no funny business.
Just kidding. I am, in fact, quite harmless. My specialties include photography, rock and roll music, and kittens*, and my goal for this year is to somehow manage to work the word idempotent in a sentence. It also happens that I am in a sort of a Jessica Simpson situation at the moment – not even nine months after I had my first baby, my husband went ahead and knocked me up again. This very much leads me to the theme of my very first post for Evil Beet – pregnant celebrities!
So without further ado, here's a list of 12 celebs who will be procreating at various times this year (in no particular order):
There was no love lost between Evan and, well, almost everyone on Evil Beet so far, but I like the gal ever since I saw her in Thirteen. She is expecting her first child with husband Jamie Bell sometime in the Summer.
2. Kristen Bell
The sloth-loving Kristen Bell is preggers with her first child from Dax Shepard, and if crying uncontrollably at the sight of sloths isn't a good enough reason to like her, Kristen is also outspoken on issues like same sex marriage and animal welfare. She's due in the Spring.
3. Amber Rose
Model Amber Rose is expecting a very laid back (and possibly tattooed) child with Wiz Khalifa, and is ready to pop any minute, forever changing the the way her vagina photographs.
4. Jenna Dewan-Tatum
I don't have any idea who she is, but they say her husband is hot so there you go.
Former Playboy bunny/stripper/reality star Madison, known mainly for her utter lack of style, is expecting a girl in March. For the delivery, she's rumored to either wear a mustard yellow floral nylon dress, or nothing.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge had a rough first trimester but she seems fine now, unless you refer to the latest portrait of her, in which case she doesn't. I really hope Kate puts on some weight during this pregnancy; it makes me feel uneasy watching her right now. She looks … sort of malnourished. Or maybe I'm just jealous because I know I'll turn to a whale long before I reach full term. A Great Blue Whale.
7. Sophie Dahl
Dahl is pregnant with her second child, but I have a feeling that despite of being Roald Dahl's granddaughter and a former plus-size model, many of you might not consider Sophie a celebrity. If that's the case, let me remind you that she was on the cover of Vogue, like, 500 times, and that makes her at least more famous than you and I. Besides, you gotta love how much taller she is than her husband.
8. Busy Philipps
I LOVE Busy. She is so pretty and real, and she always steals the show even though she's not necessarily in the A-list headlines all the time.
This here British celebrity who is famous for being famous is going to have another baby boy, and oh! god. She intends on naming him Phaedra. Let us all roll our eyes on a count of three.
10. Malin Akerman
No, Malin wasn't impregnated by French-kissing Tom Cruise -she is expecting in June by her legitimate husband who, presumably, put a bun in her oven the conventional way.
11. Jessica Simpson
I suspect that Jessica actually learned the trick of getting pregnant so soon after giving birth from Britney, but then again Jessica's fiance is quite cute and I don't see why the hell not. Jess is going to have a boy.
12. Kim Kardashian
And finally, the worst, most terrible celebrity couple, Kimye. Typing this nauseates me, so I'm just going to give you a funny picture of Kim and leave it there. There's nothing much to say about it anyways, except maybe to loosely quote Chelsea Handler who predicted that, considering its parents, this baby will be "tanned and very hairy."
*I'm sure you'll be missing Emily's kittens so I promise to post photos of mine as often as I can.

Ugh, another cat person…
I guess you meant, "fuck yes, another cat person".
I read it that way, too.
Congrats bobby welcome :) I wish you the best and good luck with your pregnancy :) cats are the best !!!!!! They really get a bad wrap :(
Bad wrap? Now that you mention it, cats are often poorly wrapped. Sometimes, they are also wrapped with a negative connotation. For instance, my husband likes to "burrito" my cat by wrapping her up in a blanket all snuggly; I would indeed consider that a "bad wrap."
Hi Bobby! I like cats so bring 'em!
Welcome, Bobby!! I cannot think of ANYONE who has played their fifteen seconds like Amber. She was literally plucked from a strip-club by Kanye & now she's on celebrity websites and carrying a damn Chanel bag. #getmoneybitch!
I agree Jacq, I don't really know how she's managed to extend her 15 seconds for so long, but she must know what she's doing.
Also, welcome Bobby!
I like you, Bobbmeister! Bobb-o-ramaaaa, makin' copies… I'll be nice :)
'sup pikki…. Do I need to be nice or should I just be me?
Just be your fabulous snarky self, yes please & thanks! The bloggers deserve respect….annoying and/or ignorant commenters, not so much. :P
Ju got it baby….. I need to hit Cali soon, I've got a feeling we could have a blast at the karaoke bars in Korea town… I haven't been in years!
an evilbeet karaoke party…why that sounds like a fine idea! but then the jig will be up; are you ready to meet guest face to feckin' face?? that's assuming the kookoo has cojones…
Nope, this is only for the cool folks… I will be in tahoe for a couple weeks next winter, actually counting the days!! Skiing is essential to my immortal soul & can't ski this winter due to blowing up my knee playing rugby last season! Time to stop acting like I'm still 20 I guess, but even though I'm 49 I know thats NEVER gonna happen!
Funniest I've ever seen in a karaoke bar in Tokyo…. Overweight Japanese businessman gets up to the mic and starts singing… Feerings, nothing more than feeeerings!
@pikki nikki polka pants
Says the person who results to name calling because she can't come up with anything else to defend her behavior. So now you and CHAZ are stalking people? Figures! The only thing kookoo is your hypocrisy. Will you and CHAZ ever take your own advice?
Cool people? Like people who get off on seeing dirty tampons? It always amazes me how CHAZ double speaks. Everyone else is crazy, yet it's him (a 49 yo) who takes pleasure in seeing photos of dirty tampons and posting about "beef curtains"!
I'm betting that I'm not the only person who thinks you might benefit from exercising your beef curtains….. Judges?
What is Guest doing outside a Leanne Rimes posting? Is the apocalyse here??? The thought of Guest excersing her beef curtains even just in the comments section of a post titled "everyone's pregnant" gives me the heebie-jeebies. Sorry Chaz, thumbs down from this judge.
Says the 49 yo who gets off on photos of dirty tampons!
Isn't this the same conversation you, Leann, and several of her fans were having on twitter last night about the BBs? It's funny how all of Leann's fans seem to think that the only reason people don't like Leann is because they are not getting laid(at least that is the way you, Leann, and her regulars put).
When people see your posts about wanting to see photos of dirty tampons and beef curtains, it's just makes it even more obvious that you are the one who is needs to exercise your
beef curtains….. Judges?
Things must really be bad for Leann because here you go again!
What is "BONNAKINS" doing outside a Leanne Rimes posting? Is the apocalyse here??? The thought of CHAZ excersing his/her beef curtains even just in the comments section of a post titled "everyone's pregnant" gives everyone the heebie-jeebies. Sorry "BONNAKINS", thumbs down from this judge.
I love how bonnakins always shows up just after a few moments after CHAZ does!
I'm not Chaz, Guest, I'm bonnakins.
Well, technically, not even bonnakins as Bonnie is one of my cats. Whatever. I am not Chaz either way. I am 35, female, and avoiding my kid because I don't want to play another game of Uno tonight. Sorry crazy Guest, I have better things to do then debate my identity with you. The kid and I have settled on a Scobby Doo movie and a beer for me.
Bonnakins, you've my apologies! I didn't think it through, you are right about the heebie-jeebie factor. Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the opening is akin to prying open a cold grilled cheese sammich!
That explains your posts. Perhaps you should put down that beer because it's clouding your judgement! and Sorry crazy "bonnakins". I love when posters like "bonnakins" think that they are being funny, but they just reveal more disturbing things about themselves. If you had better things to do, then you would be doing it, not here posting about me!
As always it's the same 4 or 5 "different" people!
now you're really harassing the locals, dear guest. see, iiiiii did not seek you out. but i am an instigator like yourself; we can relate to each other. it's OK, fiesty guest, i'm pretty crazy myself! in the best possible way, that's how i choose to look at it, so hey, take it as a compliment & simmer down now. nice to see you trying new posts today – take a break from that leann bimbo. right on.
alrighty then, back to awesome karaoke stories, y'all: during the guitar solo on "bad to the bone", my friend fell to the ground, dramatically playing an inflatable guitar, then his buddy picked up his legs & dragged him around the whole bar on his back while he went to town on dat axe. it was weird…workaholics style, these guys…
Pikki, how very Iggy Pop-esque of your friend.
:: insert Facebook thumbs up here ::
Welcome and I love dogs but ying and yang always makes it more interesting.
Sigh. Welcome. SSDD.
Despite of being. Oy.
Tell us about the time your mother, Michelle Pfeiffer, was pregnant with you.
Glad to have you as a writer! Also, congrats on the pregnancy!
Are you really one of Michelle's kids? I love the cat pix and celebs in dumb clothing choices but I'm totally OVER repulsive pregnant chicks (i.e. Jessica Simpson, Amber Rose and all those other cows that look like that Mesopotamia fertility goddess thing). Bring me scalding scandal and I'll be you cybe-slave for life.
Uh, yes…yes, I am! I totally am Michelle's daughter.
I'm very opened to suggestions about which celebrities you guys would want to read about. I don't much care for pregnant celebs either, it just seemed like a fitting theme of my first post, considering.
As far as scandal goes, I can't quite, you know – fabricate any – but I'll sure be on it when it happens. We all need a brand new and fresh train wreck to talk smack about, I think.
New train wreck, new cat pictures, yes! Count me in!
"I'm very opened to suggestions about which celebrities you guys would want to read about."
Ohh! I love you already! Congrats, congrats, and yes to cats.
For me, it's more of an issue of who I would like to read LESS about. LeAnn, Kanye/Kim, Stodden, Rihanna/Brown, Swift, and Bieber. I am so burned out on these burnouts. (Though please continue the coverage of GOOP – her brand of crazy is still fascinating to me.)
Oh! And more about Sophie Dahl (she is ADORABLE!) – more about a wider variety of celebs in general.
Open to suggestions? Tom Hiddleston. UNF.
Yay suggestions! Zac Levi prease.
Richard Armitage, Eli Roth, musicians other than the top 10 pop charters.
Anyone/anything related to the Hobbit, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Girls, Mad Men, The Walking Dead.
I second Taeko. We need more geek chic, and a little more popular tv show coverage. And give us some Joss Whedon!
No! No! Don't make anything up! From what I've seen (and, no doubt, from what YOU'VE seen), the truth is more outrageous and, well, fun than anything you could dream up: i.e. Mel Gibson's hot tub B.J rants. I like that stuff.
What is "BONNAKINS" doing outside a Leanne Rimes posting? Is the apocalyse here??? The thought of CHAZ excersing his/her beef curtains even just in the comments section of a post titled "everyone's pregnant" gives everyone the heebie-jeebies. Sorry "BONNAKINS", thumbs down from this judge.
I love how bonnakins always shows up just after a few moments after CHAZ does!
Hi Bobby, my two favorite things are cats and rock 'n roll!! Welcome to the family!!
Wait! Are you calling attention to your pregnancy in your photo or are you throwing a gang sign? Harmless? I don't think so!
Heebie-jeebie factor= A 49 yo getting off on photos of dirty tampons. Think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the opening is akin to prying open a cold grilled cheese sammich!
That's precisely your problem. You never think it through, then you spend the remaining hours of the day name calling, playing the victim, or making some creepy comments. Now you are upset because I pointed out how Leann fans always pull out the "people who hate on Leann just need to get laid" card (or as you put it "exercise their beef curatins" )card and how Leann and 3 of her most loyal fans were on twitter last night doing exactly what you did here?
@pikki nikki polka pants
How am I the instigator? There you go rewriting history and playing the victim yet again. What is it with people like CHAZ/meh/pikki nikki polka pants
/bonnakins who always pull out the victim card when they get called out for the things that they do? Considering that this all started when YOU, not me, wrote post @January 25, 2013 at 7:49 pm, there is a major problem with your logic.
You didn't seek me out? Go back to what you posted @January 25, 2013 at 7:49 pm. So that makes YOU the instigator. The only thing you relate to is playing the victim and rewriting history to make yourself look like the wronged party. Why not take responsibilty for your actions? You wrote the post about me, then you get mad when it doesn't work in your favor. Take it as a compliment & simmer down now. nice to see you trying new posts today even though you claim that you are the victim – take a break from that leann bimbo. I know that Leann is having a meltdown on twitter right now, but it doesn't mean that you have to have one too! right on.
@guest/damage control/ shithead
You're still accusing everyone of fraud, when you are the actual fraud. Sarah already told you we are in fact all different people, but no apology from you of course.
You're still fighting with everybody all day long, aiming to be hated. It IS your only option. Except being invisible.
You're still lying about people, defrauding people, stalking people.
No change. No improvement. No WORTH.
You are an AWFUL person. I wish you didn't exist, and that's why I'm not reading here once Sarah and Emily are gone.
Says the person who stated that she only posts here and on AG and then was discovered on The Superficial stalking and harassing a person! CAS/CHAZ Why are you always playing the victim and whining about how you are not going to read here if you don't get your way(which we all know is a lie because the day you posted as guest1 and wrote the comment about The Superficial, you made it obvious that you are still here posting and reading)?
You're still fighting with everybody, playing the victim, and rewriting history all day long, aiming to be hated. And then you have the nerve to demand an apology? No change. No improvement. No WORTH. You are an AWFUL person. And Why do you keep telling people that you aren't reading here or haven't posted here?
Once again why are you rewriting history? You're still trying to cover for yourself, arguing that people are lying about you, defrauding you, or stalking you. Why? And your own posts constradict you. Speaking of fraud and being awful, did you tell everyone about what you did to the person on The Superficial? Did you tell everyone how eveytime that person made a post you showed up calling her Brandi? Not only did you call the person Brandi, but you said some really nasty things about Brandi(which so happen to be the same things we are seeing CHAZ post here). And should we get on your hate campaign against the teacher Leann is suing? Did you tell everyone what you did to her?
Everybody? Nope it's just you/meh/CHAZ/bonnakins/pikki nikki polka pants. The same 4 or 5 "different" people each and every time. Now why might people think that some of the people who post here are the same or that you and CAS/CHAZ are the same? The posts that CHAZ leaves here are the same ones that you have been making on The Superficial. The same obsession with "beef curtains"! What are the odds? So is CHAZ using your name to make posts The Superficial?
Just like clockwork. It shouldn't be surprising that pikki nikki polka pants/Chaz/bonnakins is having yet another meltdown here, Leann was on twitter throwing a tantrum and whining about how she was being bullied because people called her out for lying about what she said on Jimmy Kimmel.
Yeah, it's our fault you're frigid and your twat dried up!
Says the 49 yo who gets off on photos of dirty tampons.
We know that you are frigid and your "twat" is dried up, hence why at 49 yo your only comeback or means of communication is creepy posts about "girl wood" and "beef curtains"!
The typical response from a Leann fan(people dislike Leann because they are not getting laid)! I love that you are drawing from the conversation that you, Leann, and 3 of her loyal fans had yesterday on twitter because you are "getting laid". But then again if you were getting laid you wouldn't be making posts like this!
WOW. The worst punishment for your vitriol is that you have to live in your head. I hope you can let that nastiness go and find a reprieve.
Bobby – Hello and welcome! Looking forward to hearing from you! Since you're taking notes, you list one of your specialties as rock and roll music, and you mention a fondness for otters. More of all that goodness, please. Don't know how you'll work the otters in, but it would make me enormously happy.
The f*ck did I just read? I know it's the internet and all, but wow. Are some of you people not taking your medications as prescribed?
Welcome, Bobby! I love kittens. Good luck with your pregnancy! And if Jason Statham ever does something worth talking about, I'd love to see it covered here.
WOW. The worst punishment for your and CHAZ's vitriol is that you have to live in your head. I hope you, CHAZ, bonnakins, and pikki nikki polka pants can let that nastiness go and find a reprieve. It's getting funny watching you all play the victim. What is it with people like you and CHAZ?
This continued until 4 am??? Uno with the kid (even with all the random rule changes) suddenly sounds much more appealing. It's been fun everyone, but man, I do need a life, lol.
You must be drinking again! If uno with your kid while you were drunk sounded more appealing why are you back again starting up trouble? Leann must be gearing up for yet another meltdown on twitter just like what happened yesterday! Leann's meltdown was really bad yesterday, she went from tweeting nonstop about Brandi's kids to posting photos of herself in a bed. Funny how someone went berserk here at the same time Leann was on twitter going nuts! So what is Leann upset about this time? lol.
Continued? If you check out the time codes, you will see that all went silent at about 8 pm and then as usual CAS and another "randomn" poster started it back up. Why do you all insist on playing the victim or rewriting history? I love how you all insist that your truth is reality even when the evidence doesn't support a thing you say.
Ive got to hear these "random rule changes"
Ok then….. The time stamp on this site is west coast time. It's about 11:15 here, I'm in the Midwest but am on east coast time. Guest either wakes early or crashes late…
Didn't you see "bonnakins" post from Friday? Random rule changes include drinking a beer! Or hat is what bonnakins said on Friday when she declared that she was so above it all, so much so that she was going to have a beer and watch Scooby doo with her child!
Wow, the 49 yo who gets off on photos of dirty tampons is back. It's not surprising. Leann had a moment of weakness and just couldn't resist tweeting about Brandi's kids yet again just like I suspected! What a meltdown Leann is having. I love that when Leann is having a meltdown so is CHAZ/CAS/bonnakins/meh/pikki nikki polka pants! CHAZ either wakes early or crashes late…or he is on twitter having conversations with Leann and the rest of his buddies!
OMG! Bobbie, you and I have sumin in common! We both like Beavers, YaaaaY!!!!
HI Bobby, welcome and bonus like for that awesome pic of Kim K. Along with Gwyneth she's my fav target!

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
All the Bridges family (sans Jeff) popped by the Montages Residences in Bev Hills for cocktails and pocket-sized beef Wellingtons as Theatre West kicked off its 50th anniversary. This was actually the party before the party as the do-gooder arts organization (for the uninitiated, Theatre West is an artistic cooperative—workshops, performances, children's theatre, etc.) is having it's big gala on September 13th. The bash was held in one of the Montage's luxe residences, which was one of three still available if you have a couple million to throw around. It was also the occasion for Lucinda Bridges to unveil the first ever Betty Garrett Lifetime Achievement Award (named after the late actress), which she is creating for ... her brother Beau. The Bridges family have been involved with the theatre for years and it is where Beau got his start, "Betty helped me get into Theatre West. She was also godmother to Jeff but she liked me better." The award his sis is constructing is actually going to be a vase because as Lucinda said, "You can actually use this, trophies always end up in the garage and Betty always liked flowers." This gives me a thought: the Oscar teapot. Are you listening Academy? For more info on Theatre West go to: theatrewest.org.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Senator Kathleen Marchione (R,C–Halfmoon) has issued a statement addressing possible robo calls claiming to come from her office.
In her statement she reveals her office received calls inquiring if they had sent out automated calls regarding casino gaming asking whether individuals support or oppose the issue. She said her office is not sending out the calls, and that they are presently trying to find the source of the calls and are in the process of reporting them to State Attorney General's Office.
"If a constituent in the 43rd Senate District does receive such a robo call, I ask them to please contact my office at 455-2381, or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com so we may compile a complete record for the Attorney General to help stop these annoying robo calls. Thank you," Marchione said in a statement.

The Doggy Bytes blog recently posted a fantastic article about the World's Tallest Dog, George the Great Dane and the consequences of rapid growth in large dog breeds.
I thought this was a very important topic to elaborate on and pass along and hope that owners or friends of large dogs will take extra caution regarding the dog's health and development as a puppy.
Here's an excerpt:
Great Danes, one of the "Giant Breeds" (a blatantly obvious statement looking at George), generally live to be between 8 and 10 years old. Because they are capable of explosive growth from birth through their first 18 months of life, they are, as are other large breed dogs (Mastiffs, Rottweilers etc), susceptible to hip dysplasia and other joint problems. For this reason, it is very important to "grow them slow".
Too Much Too Soon
There are obvious physiological differences when comparing Danes and wolves, what both have in common however, is that in order to maintain optimal skeletal health, they both need to grow slowly.
Though hip dysplasia is considered to be genetic, other influencing factors of hip dysplasia are rapid growth and obesity. If the puppy experiences rapid growth, the bones may not form properly which puts him at risk for hip dysplasia. Growing puppy bones are not solid like adult bones, so if the dog is overweight, this also causes adverse effects on the bone development.
If you have, or are considering adopting, a large breed puppy, be sure to follow your veterinarian's recommended feeding regimen so that you dog grows at a rate that is healthy for his bones.
Interested in further reading on hip dysplasia? Check out this article.

Shelbyville JFL heavyweights ran the table this year (13-0), converting the number 13 into a lucky number. The Rams started the season scalding their competition at a JFL jamboree. They carried that momentum like Sherman's March to the Sea through, steamrolling all their conference opponents and finishing with a forfeit.
The Rams out-scored their opponents 531 to 55. The offense racked up almost 4000 yards (3892) and scored 70 touchdowns. All their opponents, combined, only gained 363 total yards of offense and just five touchdowns altogether.
Ram defenders recorded 125 tackles for loss, more than 10 tackles for loss per game. The defense also registered eight interceptions and converted five of them into pick sixes. Shelby also recovered six fumbles, three for TDs. The Rams had 14 take-aways in 12 games.
"It was a great year," said Ram coach Matt Cloe. "The kids worked hard and our record is an indication of that. We don't usually focus on wins and losses, but instead doing things correctly. This group was very determined to do things the correct way."
The correct way allowed 17 different Rams recording rushing yards, 13 different Rams recording receiving yards, and five different passers throwing for yardage. Seven different Rams scored on the ground and 11 different Rams scored receiving TDs. Four different Rams passed for touchdowns. On defense, 26 different Rams recorded tackles, 11 different Rams had tackles for loss.
"Not all of the kids on this football team are great football players," Coach Cloe said. "However, they all possess great character. Everyone on this team brings something to the table that helps us accomplish our goals. They are a "tight-knit" group that cares for each other and cares for how they do things. They take a lot of pride in their craft."
Leading the Rams in their craft was quarterback Turner Pullen, who rushed for 638 yards and 14 TDs. He also threw for 1864 yards and 35 TDs, with only one interception. He also caught four passes for 100 yards and two TDs. On defense, he had 89 tackles, 13 for loss.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
