A-Rod now dating above replacement level
ByIn one sense, it pains me to write about this. Who cares what the Yankees are doing with their personal lives, right? In another way, though, I’m very happy to report that Alex Rodriguez has finally figured out that he can do better than a 50 (and a half) year old pop star. His latest fling: Kate Hudson. I certainly approve, as she’s a significant upgrade from Madonna. Plus, she used to be married to Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, which is all sorts of awesome. Ben’s reaction: “Dammit. I want to date Kate Hudson.” Mike’s reaction: “You know, I never thought that she was all that hot.” I’m definitely siding with Ben on this one.
That’s definitely her best movie role. For a nude, but covered, photo, go here.
Update by Mike (7:38pm): Go ahead and use this for the open thread tonight. The Knicks are in New Orleans, but otherwise all the local teams are off. Play nice.

nice job A-Rod!
eh, for a celebrity, and all the make-up people they have at their service, kate hudson isnt super gorgeous. i think the hottest current celebrity is mila kunis. and if we’re talking of all time, reese witherspoon in her 20s, WOW!
thank god, the less Madonna is in the news the better
When the tabloids write articles about ARod’s personal life you guys excoriate them for it. And rightly so.
Who cares? This post doesn’t seem up to the professed standards of your site and that’s disappointing.
this post has see through shirt pic of kate hudson. bite your tongue
Eh, we had some room for filler. Plus, people are having fun with it. It’s not like we post this kind of shit often.
I still have a hard time believing that A-Rod was really fuckin with Madonna. All serious, I really think A-Rod and Madonna were just close friends. Would A-Rod really fuck a dried up 50+ year old woman? I doubt that.
Not that I care of what A-Rod does in his personal life.
Not that I care of what A-Rod does in his personal life.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Not that I care of what A-Rod does in his personal life.That’s better! Above still applies.
You obviously don’t know shit.
I do agree that she is an upgrade over Maddona but I know this will turn into another soap opera.
I just clicked on links I never want to click again…especially from RAB.
From my perspective- Kate Hudson- definitely (not the greatest but definitely) and as for Madonna- yes at least once just to say I did so I always understood Arod.
kate>madonna.
woo-hoo! Im happy for my favorite player. The Yankees upgrade their team, A-Rod upgrades his woman….all good after the Yanks missed the playoffs while A-rod dated that old thing. If he gets Megan Fox, i smell 9-yrs of BOTH Regular-Season and World-Series MVPs…
Who here wouldn’t bang out Madonna for a month or two if you had the chance?
Mike’s an idiot. The only chic I want more than Kate Hudson is Alicia Keys, the chic who played Nu-Nu in “ATL” and Eva Mendez.
Are you talking about Lauren London?
not Megan Fox?
Over-rated! Clap, clap clap-clap-clap. Over-rated!
Agreed.
You all are SO wrong. Megan Fox is all kinds of hot, and shes crazy too. You are nuts picking some of those other girls over her. Megan Fox is far and away one of the hottest chicks going. Has anyone seen her shot on the hood of the car in Transformers? Mix the hottness with the absolute craziness and you got one fun chick to “hang around” with
http://i145.photobucket.com/al.....endez4.jpg
You were saying?
http://www.2flashgames.com/2fg.....a-4025.jpg
I prefer a girl with a rack. Just look at Megan Fox. UUUUGGGHHHH
I’m all about Megan Fox. Black hair, blue eyes, hot face, killer body. What’s not to like?
yeah the overrated chant is wayyy off base
meagan goode does it for me too
Yessir.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Alba still reigns surpreme.
The fact that she has a kid has knocked her down a couple pegs. I know she got her body back, but unless she is doing the “special” exercises to get something else a bit tighter, no thanks in comparison to the above listed.
Hudson has a kid too, you know.
doesn’t she have herpes ? i remember reading jete gave them to her ?
oh well i’d probably still bang alba with herps
Someone should tell Adam Scott about this, considering he just spend the weekend with her.
http://golf.fanhouse.com/2009/.....te-hudson/
maybe he swooped in during the last minute and took her…like hoe we got Tex
First of all great title.
Second, I happen to agree with Mike. Kate Hudson is better looking than Madonna, however A-Rod should be doing much better. Think about it – they guy is raking in money and he is a good looking guy and he is ripped:
http://hitlesswanderings.mlblo.....p/arod.jpg
What is clear from all this is that A-Rod just has no game with the ladies and/or a terrible personality. I mean, the guy should e nailing Giselle, Jessica Simpson or Elisha Cuthbert (please tell me sean avery is in Russia right now).
agreed but hey it’s a start…SIGNIFICANT upgrade over Madonna
I’d rather nail Kate Hudson than Jessica Simpson.
Ugh
Nah, dude, I’d bang the hell out of a ditzy chic in a cocaine heartbeat.
2nded. Ya she can’t act but I bet she’s good in the sack.
Pfft…
Still not as hot as me.
…I kid, I kid. And besides, I’m not the cheatin’ type.
Hillarious
She just looks like a younger Madonna to me.
I do love a white shirt though!
Kate Hudson gotta donk!
http://www.jamd.com/article/2183
http://tinyurl.com/9m7bpu
That’s awesome.
Also, it’s about time A-Rod started people his own age.
Maybe A-Rod is just using Kate to get a little closer to her mother?
http://tinyurl.com/9dpuyq
Not sure how i f’ed up the link?
http://www.unknownhighway.com/.....makeup.jpg
I’m with Mike A on this. She’s cute in a girlie kinda way, but doesn’t give me any sexual vibe at all. Also, when you find out she was married to ‘Cousin It’ her stock kinda drops for me. I mean, that guy’s just skeevy.
But, but…he’s the singer for the Black Crowes! And they rock.
Thank you. She’s obviously a very beautiful woman, but I don’t think she’s worth the hype. She’s like the … Carlos Zambrano of hot chicks.
Lol
lol nice comparison,
Surprized that Arod isn’t dating Janet Dickinson.
LOTD.
I don’t know. Anyone who is sloppy seconds from Chris Robinson is a little skeevy to me. I think A-Rod should definitely play wingman to Derek if he wants to upgrade his dating life. Here is the gal Jeter recently was with, that is more like it: http://theblemish.com/images/2.....y-self.jpg
I’d hit it.
Read my post below. Which end you want?
Hahaha
That’s what the rings do for you.
…I’m the only female posting in this thread, aren’t I?
I need better things to do with my time.
Yes, yes you do.
Nah, you’re our “cool chick”. The one who can hang with the guys.
Ya ya ya, the “cool chick”.
Where’s UWS? She’s always good for a laugh.
Heh, I didn’t even know UWS was a girl.
Yeah her and TSJC vacationed together over the holidays. They went to the Dominican and watched Melvin pitch some exhibition games.
Yeah, that’s what we were doing… “watching exhibition games”…
(wink)
See now, with gender-neutral acronyms, how am I supposed to know if someone’s a girl or not?!
its ok you can get in touch with your masculine side
There really isn’t an appropriate, PG-rated way to respond to that, is there?
We have never claimed to be PG-rated blog.
Good point…
However, I still don’t know how to respond to that =P
How about “Get in touch with my masculine side? Fine. Bend over, I’ll strap this on and start with you.”
I’m assuming, of course that you would be strapping on your tool belt and help him build a Hobby Horse.
You called?
I see I’ve missed a doozy…Oh well.
By the way, Kate Hudson? Hot. Maybe not as hot as Rebecca (definitely not as hot as me), but hot, nonetheless.
True. I’d definitely h/t both you and Rebecca before Kate Hudson.
Check out this gossip column about why they broke up
“Speculation surrounding the end of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson’s marriage seems to be focusing on her close friendship with Owen Wilson. But there were longer-term issues. Like many rocks singers, Chris is fond of group sex and threesomes while on tour, and Black Crowes insiders had often seen Chris and Kate heading to their hotel with a keen groupie or fan in tow. But by the end of the last tour Kate was said to be tagging along like a turkey on its way to Christmas lunch.”
http://www.celebitchy.com/2006....._robi.html
Yikes. Goes on to say they were pretty much swingers, so A-Rod will be perfect for her. Not that I’ve ever heard he hangs at Le Trapeze, or every other swing club across the country.
kate hudson… not that hot
I take it your girlfriend/wife looks something like this:
http://www.imageandstylenews.c.....n-show.jpg
alessandra…hottt
Does going out to dinner with a group of people and hitting a bar afterward with a friend of the opposite sex really equal “dating” these days?
that wasnt me
I think Kate Hudson is one of those chics that have to fit your type for her to be real appealing to you. For me, I am infatuated with a petite chic, therefore, Hudson does it for me. But yeah, I can easily understand why some aren’t so up on her.
http://circushour.com/2008/03/.....dsons-ass/
Good link. Except for all those words on the page. They have no place among Kate’s ass.
Good work.
I can tell that face is going to age horribly. But, for now…
http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....hit_it.jpg
You have… an absolutely breathtaking hiney. I mean that thing is good. I wanna be friends with it.
Mr. Burgundy, you have a *massive* erection.
Sadly though, A-Rod has ways to go before reaching Jeter level, take Jessica Biel for example.
http://www.hubpages.com/hub/Je....._Hollywood
I heard she has mental issues, though. Like she’s so obsessed with working out that even Justin Timberlake began to worry.
As long as she doesn’t sound like a dude, she can work out all day every day.
She has the body of a dude. I don’t find her hot at all
Amen Jay. Finally someone who agrees with me. Biel has the look, in the face, of a tranny.
I think she’s recently stopped going heavy on the training since apparently she doesn’t want to be typecast as an action actress. Heh.
Frankly, I like her physique.
You know who’s hot in that “I see you walking down the street after work” kinda way? Cobie Smulders.
This thread is just awesome.
You know who’s hot in that “Yeah, you’re cute, but I don’t ever have to worry about being jealous” sort of way? The lead singer of my all-time favorite band, Paramore’s Hayley Williams:
http://i213.photobucket.com/al.....lliams.jpg
Oh please, tell me that “all-time favorite band” line is tongue-in-cheek.
Nope, they, along with Panic At the Disco are my top bands of all-time.
I should ban you for having a shitty taste in music.
Name your top three bands, let me see what I’m up against.
Led Zeppelin
Pantera
Public Enemy
Its sad when some people don’t even remember who those bands are/were.
1. Never listened.
2. Never heard of.
3. I agree, they are the shit.
OK, so how do you feel about Three Days Grace, Fall Out Boy, Boys Like Girls, Lupe Fiasco, T.I., Eminem and Avenged Sevenfold?
I listen to a lot of salsa and bachata, but I’m assuming you are not a Spanish speaker.
You’ve never HEARD OF Pantera? Holy shit.
As for the rest: Hate ‘em, hate them almost as much as I hate Paramore (but only because my girlfriend doesn’t play them for weeks on end), never heard ‘em (but the song by Blur was good), never heard, not familiar enough with TI, gotta love Eminem, cannot stand Avenged Sevenfold.
Slipknot? The Offspring? My Chemical Romance? Mastodon? N.E.R.D.? Porcelain and the Tramps? Plain White T’s?
OMFG, you never heard of Pantera?
Dwindling it down to three will be tough, but my faves:
1. Strike Anywhere
2. Propagandhi
3. Pennywise
Heh, I listened to Slipknot almost every day my senior year in high school.
Wait. You like Mastodon but haven’t heard of Pantera? WTF?
N.E.R.D. is underrated. Their last album wasn’t great, but the two before it were.
1. Never
2. Heard.
3. Of.
Sorry, dude. I don’t know if it’s because I’m 19 or it’s because I’m more into pop and punk rock than the vintage stuff. I consider myself eclectic in my musical tastes, but yeah, I’ve never heard of those three.
I miss the days when Fall out Boy was something special. Now the stupid pre-teen girls at the camp I worked at got their hands on FOB….sigh…it gets me down to the point where I want them to make a record stretching to their hardcore roots (hell, make a grindcore album) just to get the new fanbase totally alienated.
A little less “Infinity on High” a lot more “Take This To Your Grave” please.
The first two bands aren’y very well known, but I thought maybe you’d heard of Pennywise, they’re pretty big.
Unless it’s in that pop or punk genre, I really don’t discover it myself, I get it recommended to me. For instance, Mastodon, a friend of mine put me up on that. Same thing with Porcelain, that was the girlfriend’s (hell, she goes to Manson concerts) recommendation. I am a lot more into grunge, metal and death metal than I previously was, but it still isn’t my favorite genre. That’s probably why I know of Mastodon but never heard of Pantera.
I think I may have heard the name somewhere, but I haven’t even the slightest clue if I heard even a snippet of some of their work.
I’ll continue this thread below. It’s getting unwieldy up here.
I liked them when they first came out. The more and more I listened to it, the worse and worse it was. Kind of like Cute Is What We Aim For, but with more synthesizers–and a reputably equally shitty live show.
Anyone else hoping for a Midtown re-union in 09? No? Alright I’ll shut up now.
Jamal, you fail so hard. Are you kidding me with that new Panic album? Awful.
I saw Hayley when she was 15 at some track center opening for Bayside. Wasn’t really impressed.
But seriously, Panic? Yeah their debut album has some party atmosphere moments, but get out of here with that new alb.
I loved the new direction Panic took. It’s basically like they’re telling a story with the whole album, it’s great.
If you want a story, listen to The Hold Steady. But yeah, you’ve lost at least 35 cool points in my book. You’re still a better candidate for the HoF than Jim Rice though so it’s not that big of a deal.
THS is pretty cool. I haven’t listened to anything past “Boys and Girls In America,” though. It was surely a grower. The vocals took a while to get used to.
Another good story album is “The Mother, The Mechanic, The Path” by The Early November or “…Is a Real Boy” by Say Anything.
One of my favorite bands of all time is The Specials. I love those Ska bastards.
Mike, do you like the Weakerthans?
I never got into them.
It annoys me that most of the boys in the “scene” (from which I’m pretty much all but removed now) think that she’s good looking. Because she isn’t. And Paramore sucks.
She is very hot!
I’m all for this as long as it keeps Kate Hudson from making any more movies.
You, Me and Dupree was funny along with Fool’s Gold.
You, Me, and Dupree was a steaming pile of buffalo shit. I will never get that two hours of my life back. I want Hudson, Wilson, and Dillon to all die of gonorrhea for making that sack of donkey jizz.
Good work Al,
Today I am proud of A-rod.
kate hudson has an ass u can eat off of.
I am so sick of Arod and his conquests. I wish he would be as successful in playoff situations. This clown is the only thing negative about the Yankee offseason. I say leave his romances to People Magazine, and the other similiar magazines.
I will say one thing though, about Megan Fox, she is the most aptly named star in motion picture history. A total FOX.
i hear she’s a liberal.
I enjoyed this comment.
Baseball perspective for a second…
Don’t you feel more comfortable with A-Rod and Madonna. I don’t think Madonna is hot anymore, but she has stayed in pretty good shape into her fifties. We got a-Rod for 9 more years. A little kabala would do him well, if he could even get half as ripped as Madonna.
Madonna and A-Rod are still together. The other people linked to them are just distraction for the gossipers.
Jamal, if you are into metal, I suggest you do the following.
1) Go to iTunes
2) Download Vulgar Display of Power by Pantera
3) Listen and repeat
I suspect we might not hear from you for a couple of days.
What’s your main genre?
Oh, and I find number one amusing. Honestly, Joe, who downloads music legally?
I still buy CDs occasionally….
I switch among
hip-hop (PE, Roots, NWA, Black Star, DMC, Snoop, Dre, Biggy, Pac, Beastie Boys…basically, all the shit suburban white kids like)
metal (Pantera, Metallica, In Flames, Megadeth, Machine Head, the first Killswitch Engage album, Iron Maiden, Dethklok)
classic rock (zep, Deep Purple, Jimi, The Who, The Kinks, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc.)
punk (Pennywise, NOFX, The Clash, The Ramones, Bad Religion, No Doubt (Tragic Kingdom only, really), Reel Big Fish, Sublime, Rancid/Op Ivy)
and then some other, strange shit, like chili peppers, radiohead, nirvana, smashing pumpkins, Tenacious D, Stuck Mojo, Tool, The Urge, Weezer, N.E.R.D….I could go on forever.
RBF played my Spring Weekend with Dashboard Confessional (shut up, I like them) and The Starting Line. I’m not huge into RBF but they put on one hell of a live show.
They played Rutgersfest when I was…either a freshman or sophomore. Fucking brilliant live show. I saw them again a few years later and wasn’t nearly as impressed.
Shit. I forgot NOFX in my above list.
I fucking love Tenacious D; that movie was awesome.
Admitting to liking the Tenacious D movie typically reveals something about your preference of recreational activities.
I’m like the pothead who never took a blow. None of my friends ever believe me when I say I’ve never blazed up in my entire life. I’m serious, they all swear that I’m a lying prick.
And yeah, I didn’t want to be doing anything illegal here. I’m reading up on intellectual property law and practices. Don’t want to get caught up in ANY of that shit.
Best. Album. Cover. Ever.
They paid some dude to just stand there and take shots. Pretty fuckin hardcore.
Heh, my HS Art teacher asked me if I ever listened to the Dropkick Murphys. I am debating whether to ever speak to him again. Seriously, he tells me they’re good, but I think I would spontaneously combust the second I get within ten feet of Yankee Stadium.
I listen to them. They came to UConn and put on a great live show. I wore a Yankee shirt to the show.
I’m Class of ’06. What’s your major?
Only concert I went to at UConn was when Chris Carrabba showed up on Valentine’s Day. I think I remember when Dropkick Murphy’s was there. I “graduated” in ’07
English, Class of 2009. Last semester coming up. Oof. Here comes the real world.
I was at Hofstra for the Fall 05/Spring 06 semesters and Straylight Run played. That was badass for sure. I met them–awesome dudes/chick.
Yeah Straylight opened for him. I immediately downloaded everything I could find by them. She’s got a sick little voice.
Small world, eh?
For real.
Michelle has since left the band, though. =(
A few weeks ago, I found a mix of mine that had their five original demos on it from when John and Shaun first left Taking Back Sunday. I remember sitting online waiting for them to come out and being so pumped. The only thing that compares to that was the anticipation for Midtown’s latest (2004) album and the Brand New demos released before “The Devil and God…”
If you’re into bands with chick singers, check out Tsunami Bomb. They broke up a few years ago, but any of their four albums is worth it.
They used to be good. Then the Red Sox got ahold of ‘em.
He told me to listen to their album, “The Meanest of Times”; thoughts?
Haven’t listened to it, but I highly doubt it’s better than Do or Die.
1. Go to iTunes
2. Download Your Retro Career Melted by The Faint
3. ??????
4. Profit.
Check out FanGraphs. They got pitcher values now. My boy Sheets is crying for a contract. He has been very worth it, and I was SHOCKED at Derek Lowe’s value. That changed my opinion a great deal.
NL West, that’s like pitching in AAAA.
I think we need to start a “help the young learn what good music really sounds like” Hint: It’s not Boys Like Girls.
Awful, awful band.
Keyword: NOT. *Someone* said he (or she) enjoys BLG. And I threw up in my mouth a little. Luckily, I was able to swallow it.
I love that band. Have you really listened to them or just made a predetermined opinion because of their fan-base?
I have listened to their album. At least 15 times. I knew it was bad after the first run through, but I like to be thorough.
No, I just straight don’t like ‘em.
For the last like..six months or so?…I’ve been on this kick listening to old stuff that makes me long for the days when music moved me and it just bums me out…sigh…
I hope a pretty, young thing walks by Harold Reynolds in the office.
Oh shit, the second night of the “24″ season premiere is about to start.
I fucking love this show.
And this freckled chick is kinda hot.
Dick Cheney watched the new episode of 24 and he jizzed in his pants…
It’s pretty obvious that not only do most of you guys know very litle about baseball but you know even less about women. It’s OK, You’ll find out when you grow up.
Hey hey, it’s the first real douchy comment of the thread!
2 1/2 hours has to be some sort of a record, doesn’t it?
It does. Though you could construe my “I should ban you for having a shitty taste in music” comment to Jamal as pretty douchy. Clearly I was kidding, but Mr. Lacock could be, too.
Heh, I found it funny; therefore, it can’t count as “douchy”.
LOL @ Irony
You warned about a pic that showed nothing but the picture with with post is NSFW, her shirt is see through!
If that’s NSFW, it’s time to quit.
Last time I checked boobs were nsfw.
Edited by RAB: Easy with the language. Family blog.
I agree that women shouldn’t be allowed in the work place, but don’t you think this comment is a bit insensitive?
haha
*insert Hillary Clinton Joke here*
Seriously? I can’t say “the T word”(If that’s a swear) I’ve heard much much much worse here. Looks like I was just the one who got caught.
I don’t want to get an email from offended women over it. It’s happened before, and I really don’t want it to happen again.
I would have done it to anyone that used that word, I didn’t single you out.
Looks like I missed a good debate of music and women preferences. Darn.
Wow. 24′s already breaking out the twists.
Nah, I new Tony Almaeda was hiding something. He was pushing for information about the next phase of the plan in last night’s episode a bit too hard. Seemed suspicious to me.
Man, I remember when Tony died in Jack’s arms. Right in front of his house after the car bomb, Jack had a tear roll down his cheek, then it cut to a silent clock at the end of the episode.
Fucking epic.
Yeah, one of the few times I felt the intended, dramatic effect from a show.
The start of that season was nuts. I remember significant dudes were just dying left and right, no mercy at all. You can tell the writers got a bit happy with that.
BTW, outside of Steve Carell, is there another boss you would most like to work for other than Bill from “24″?
Hank Scorpio
Heh, awesome.
When the last time Bill was on the show? Two or three seasons ago, I think.
Oh, and I never really watched The Office, but I caught a couple random episodes a few weeks ago, and now I’m hooked. You can play Seasons 1-4 right on your computer via Netflix, so for the past two weeks or so I’ve been watching 3 or 4 episodes just about every night before I go to sleep. that show is amazing.
It really fucking is. I got hooked the same way you did. Oh, and have you played Metal Gear Solid 4? That scene where Jack, Bill and Chloe were talking seemed eerily similar to something out of MGS4.
No, haven’t played it yet. I just “beat” GTA4 today. I have beat in quotes because I finished the story, but I’m only ~65% done with the game because of all the other random shit.
Damn, I need to start playing that again. I got an HD for XMAS, I need the damn HDMI cables, though.
You can get a 6 foot cord for like, $35. I heart HD.
$22.50
http://www.cables.com/Products.....I-6-Q.aspx
Boom.
You are the fucking man.
Jamal: I got a HDMI cord for 1 cent on ebay, works fine.
Mike: Is it really an offensive word though? My bad if it is…
I really enjoyed the first 3 or so seasons of The Office, and then kind of started to hate it along about season 4. I literally stopped watching in the middle of Season 5, because it just got so crappy. It’s basically ALL Steve Carrell all the time now. The other characters essentially exist only for him to be a buffoon in their faces.
It’s really annoying.
Phil Hughes’ favorite TV show, though. At least, as of last offseason it was
i’m on the west coast !!! don’t spoil !!!
I can’t believe Chloe and Bill are back, fuckin’ aye!
“Jedi” is on.
Give me “Empire” or give me death!
Empire was on yesterday, and A New Hope the day before.
Seriously guys great thread, this may get the most comments ever
Well, I am a bit late to the music conversation, but I think if you have never heard of Bayside, you should definitely check them out. Another awesome band is Boys Night Out. The album Trainwreck is kind of like a rock-opera.
BNO is alright.
And I don’t care what anyone says, “American Idiot” is a solid album. The singles were played out but just about every other track on that album was solid.
Agree 100%. Same thing with Evanescence (how the uck did I forget to mention them?). Evanescence is easily in my top five.
Giant “meh” to Evanesence.
Who else can we bring into this musical merry-go-round….
I don’t listen to much classic rock but Creedence Clearwater Revival brings the ma’ fuckin’ pwn.
Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Citizen Cope, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nas, Biggie
dude.
Really?
I don’t I could back you up on Panic and some of F.O.B., but Evanescence? Maybe it’s just because of where I am from.
I don’t know if I could narrow it down to five.
Bayside, Boys Night Out, Chiodos, Saosin, New Found Glory, Ramones, Sublime, Unwritten Law, Nirvana, The Killers, Pennywise, Queen, Rage Against The Machine. I could go on and on and on…
Add Weezer.
I’m listening to some Bloodhound Gang. They are truly awesome. Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, Mope, and Bad Touch for examples.
Regrets I’ve had a few
First and foremost I’d like to mention you
For the sake of conversation we’ll call you the Brand New Heavy
Your a mix between an Ugnaut and Eugene Levy
You can call it big-boned, I prefer to call it gut
You’re Buddha you’re Shamu you’re Jabba the fuckin’ Hutt
You had harpoon scars and your boobies were hairy
I smelt tuna melt but I wasn’t gonna worry
It was 3 A.M. and I wasn’t gettin’ squat
So I rolled you up in flour and aimed it for the wet spot
Bonus for anyone who digs the Brand New Heavies.
Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1 is great
Every song on it a masterpiece. Sean Paul ain’t got nothin’ on the dude who did Jump N Move.
American Idiot. Mmm. I don’t know I love me some Green Day, but that album just seemed like they were jumping on the political music bandwagon. After that all the sudden there are all these kids that know absolutely nothing about politics thinking they know everything. Annoying.
Two songs is hardly jumping on the political music bandwagon.
But I see what you mean. I used to steal “Dookie” from my sister all the time. I learned the words to “Basket Case” and “When I Come Around” before I learned the words to “the Star Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful.”
Dookie was the first CD I ever bought. American Idiot isn’t a bad CD, I just was keen on the aftermath that it brought.
I’m more of a 1,039 Smoothed-Out Slappy Hours kinda guy.
High five.
More Noise and Other Disturbances by the Bosstones is another great old school job.
Sixteen Stone by Bush.
You all are dirty man-whores.
Are you trying to flatter us?
You’re an ugly, weird slut.
back to babes. I’ll start.
Sophie Monk A+
hahahahaha idiot
Care to elaborate?
no just funny
No Homo because I ain’t Tony Romo, but this post reminded me of why I love this blog.
Cheers to Beers?
Man I haven’t watched 24 since the first season when the plot was actually believable.
I’m watching the Dark Knight right now…and while I love my TV it simply isn’t as impressive as the two times I saw it in IMAX. Alas, an IMAX screen won’t fit in my apartment!
Eh, I don’t care if the plot isn’t believable, it’s still entertaining. They’ve gotten a little lenient with the time lapses and stuff. Three and a half hours for a DC to LA flight is stretching it, even if it is Air Force One.
o-o takes six hours New York to LA…
I was psyched that Heath won the GG last night. Think he’s gonna pick up the Oscar?
Oh yah. The Academy digs sentimentality.
Very true.
They probably also feel bad about Brokeback Mountain
I still haven’t seen that. I feel like I should.
It was really, really good.
Jack Bauer is such a bad-ass.
I’ve never watched a minute of 24 but I constantly break one of my friends’s balls about it being a crappy show just to piss him off.
It is a crappy show, so you’re totally justified.
Heh, how do you know you suck at life? When your commemorative patch for the inaugural season of your new stadium is being made fun of on the front page of Yahoo.
The Mets fail at everything.

Priceless.
I made that comparison in an earlier thread. I’m gonna sue.
Given my current academic pursuit, I’m surprised Dominos hasn’t dispatched their lawyers on the Mets and CitiField. Trademark infringement, yo.
Any psych or marketing majors around? Maybe it’s some subliminal advertising deal.
the mets have no passion
The Mets have no marbles.
no respect for thier fans also
It’s so fucking horrible, I don’t get how they OK’d that.
They were too busy planning the welcome party for Tim Redding.
For sure I am the only person here watching the Knicks game.
The NBA still exists?
what’s the NBA?
Oh, Good Charlotte is another big band of mine.
You just want no forum cred, huh?
you like that emo stuff , don’t you?
Oh now you’ve just gone and done it.
NO ONE IN THIS THREAD HAS MENTIONED AN EMO BAND. PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT WORD. NO ONE USE THAT WORD UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
GOOD CHARLOTTE =/= EMO
FALL OUT BOY =/= EMO
DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL =/= EMO
Ugh, I hate that word with a passion because of how miss used it has been. Fuck MTV.
In the modern vernacular “Emo” has come to mean: Shitty new rock/pop/punk band with whiny vocals. Goddammit, I fucking HATE whiny vocals. The guy from Dashboard just might be the worst, though the Madden fucker from Good Charlotte is right up there.
Listen to the lyrics though. You may dislike them because of their sound, but take a listen to the lyrics by Paramore and Panic, they are really good.
You want good lyrics? Go listen to Northstar (RIP).
Any love for the German punk-bands, Tokio Hotel and The Donots?
hahaha…
i havent watched MTV in a good looooong while so I was under the impression that MTV didnt show videos anymore…
I haven’t either but I blame them–and the mainstream media in general–for warping the word “emo” and not even understanding what the genre is. “Real” emo was borne of a movement in the DC hardcore movement in the late 80s. It’s not fucking pop-punk from the early 20th century.
I remember when I was a senior in HS (99 – 00) I had a buddy who was way into Emo. He introduced me to this band Jimmy Eat World.
And then they blew up, but not as an emo band.
MTV Hits: Best. Channel. Ever. It shows nothing but videos, 24/7.
AC/DC, Guns’N'Roses and Bon Jovi to old-school for you??
Do I age myself if i say that the first rock concert i ever went to was a Soundgarden show back in ’96?
A bit, I guess. And I’m jealous. I would have loved to see Soundgarden live. My first was also in ’96. Green Day at Nassau. My buddy’s parents drove us from Jersey.
My first was Aug. 2003–Midtown with My Chemical Romance (before they got big), Reggie and the Full Effect (fun band with one of the dudes from the Get Up Kids), and .moneen. (awesome Canadian band).
Blind Melon. 1992, before they became popular. Probably 200 people there at a tiny college, won the tickets on the college radio station. Had never even heard of them, but what the hell, free tickets (face was $5). I was 12, still can’t believe my mom let us go. They were unreal.
Everyone knows them for No Rain, but the rest of their shit is solid. The early 90s were filled with quality rock bands.
I go so damn sick of No Rain, because it was far from their best work, and I’d already had the CD for months before it hit MTV and got big.
http://www.imeem.com/people/SW.....y_chicken/
That is always how I will remember Reggie and the Full Effect.
Not a big fan of Midtown at all. Must have been 2000, maybe 2001 when I saw them and Thursday open for No Use For A Name. Hated both openers.
“Hated both openers.”
I hate you.
I got to meet Chris Cornell years later after one of his solo gigs in the city and he’s one of the coolest dudes ever.
Nah, I’m a fairly big fan of AC/DC. Haven’t listened to more than a couple songs from the latter two, however.
You should listen to Appetite for Destruction. Best rock album of all time.
You are the man for saying that…
Good Charlotte?
Jesus.
Good Fucking Charlotte?
You’re dead to me.
Heh
some guy thinks Papelbon is better than Rivera
Guess he was in a coma last season, or something.
I still can’t get over the fact that Mo walked only SIX guys last year. SIX! IN A WHOLE SEASON! I can’t do that in a video game!
It was insane! And all ESPN gave a fuck about was K-Rod!
Mo blew ONE save ALL YEAR!
But K-ROD SET A RECORD FOR SAVES OMG!!!!
That was the homer to Delmon Young, right? Or did that come in a tie game?
Right game-Mo blew that save but the Yankees ended up winning.
also was in the 8th inning
Isn’t Zell a younger dude? So I assume his interviewee was young as well. They just didn’t live through the greatness that was Mo. But even so, you’re right, last season Mo was better. They had essentially the same K/9 (Mo had 1/3 more innings and they had the same # of Ks), and Mo was better in every other category.
Mo’s K/BB ratio was insane. Unhuman.
Godly
Indeed!
And the new douche gadget of 2009 is…

Yeah thats pretty dumb. Anyone here ever played fallout 3? They recreated a Pipboy at CES and they are going to use it in the military, its pretty sick.
its not dumb we can b like 007
I got Fallout 3 for Christmas. Havent started it yet, but heard amazing things
Well what are you waiting for!
all the cool kids are getting it
Fishbone…the band the Bosstones wanted to be when they grew up.
Party at Ground Zero. Man Greg, you’re winning me over with your musical taste. I’m so over Jamal.
“Ya cut me deep bitch, cut me like surgery.” – Kanye West
So, any love for Tokio Hotel and/or The Donots?
Never heard of Hotel. Have heard of the Donots, but haven’t listened to them knowingly.
Wow. I forgot all about Fishbone. I vote “Greatest Thread Ever.”
How about the Specials? Another great ska band from that era.
FINALLY! A-Rod has moved on to something better after dating that old hag.
Im with Ben and Joe on this one, she is freakin hot!
Brook Lopez is the real deal. Top 3-5 center by this time next year. Any other Nets fans here?
Hola!
Isn’t it crazy how Thorn tore it down and is putting it back up in less than one year? They have the two toughest commodities to find. Center and point guard. 20 and 25 years-old no less!
Thorn is a frickin’ genius.
IMO Jersey teams, Nets and Devils, have the best non-baseball GMs on the planet. Hell, if we had a baseball team we’d have the best baseball GM too.
Yeah, Lou is a genius as well. We’re kinda’ spoiled in Jersey lately.
It’s awesome.
They still have Josh Boone. I have nightmares of that guy dominating Rutgers when he played for UConn.
=)
And Syracuse.
Althought I think that was the year we beat him in the Big East tournament.
Yeah, the year G-Mac carried them.
Well it helps that Mark Cuban may be an idiot and thought Jason Kidd would be better than Devin Harris
So far the Nationals haven’t offered enough for Nick Swisher, but at the least he provides leverage to use on the team’s free agent targets.
Interesting nugget from MLBTR
Me, I’m a Bon Jovi person, but I have an excuse–I’m a Jersey girl!
I’ve been to two Bon Jovi concerts (I grew up in Jersey, what do you expect?). Two of the drunkest experiences of my life.
Bon Jovi is at his best in jersey, same with Bruce Springsteen
North Jersey or South Jersey?
I’m a Bergen County girl =D
North. Morristown (Randolph, really, but no one knows where that is). I actually lived in Westwood for a bit in 2006 -2007. Now I’m in Queens. Feel much more at home here.
Hah, I live in Morristown now.
I’ve been to Morristown and I know where Randolph is!
ditto
Sadly, lots of people consider Motown a hopping place to drink. It’s a watered-down Hoboken.
Yeah, I don’t consider it a great place to go out, maybe if you live there its pretty good, but Hoboken is much more fun
Why party in Hoboken when the greatest city in the world is just across the river?
It’s not that Philly’s boring, it’s just that it’s next to exciting Camden, NJ…
Murder capital of the world.
NYC >>>> Hoboken, that goes without saying, but in terms of northern jersey places to drink, the ‘Boken
“Murder capital of the world.”
Isn’t that Newark?
Should have said murder capital of the US… Camden was most dangerous city a few years ago. I think some other city beat them out this year… but not Newark
I date a Burlington County girl.
I met Bon Jovi at Patriots’ Training camp.
LOL WTF was a Giants fan doing at Patriots’ camp? Story for another day.
Okay, I’m going to throw a band out there that I think, or at least hope, we can all hate on equally:
Nickelback
They make Creed sound like Nirvana
The worst part is that EVERYONE copies that raspy vocal style.
100% Agree.
Let me throw Creed out there as well.
A friend of mine likes both Creed and Nickelback. He’s lost.
I don’t know any men who like either band. All chicks.
If you don’t ban anyone who says they like Nickelback, I will be very angry.
its second only to the Joba debate
So now would be a bad time to admit I like Nickelback?
Right or wrong, I think you get a pass due to your chromosones.
Works for me.
There is never a good time to admit you like Nickelback.
I like Nickelback. FUCK YEAH> I am not to proud to admit it.
And yes, I do just wanna be a big rockstar…
Wait, Next Contestant was a pretty amusing song. Also, Rockstar was a pretty cool song and video.
I honestly can’t tell the difference between any of their songs, they’re all the same damn thing.
ESPN 2 is showing the Super Bowl highlights of the Giants’ upset over the *Pats.
I hate all bands. They’re all lame, everything is lame.

Question regarding the new Yankee Stadium.
Anyone know if the food court in centerfield will be acessible to all fans or will it be just for the bleachers? My kids are about that age where they can enjoy being at a ballpark and I would hope they can experience the whole stadium.
I am going to mention this band once more. Seriously, I think everyone who has not heard them click on my name and head over to there Myspace.
Bayside.
Anthony Raneri, the lead singer, has an awesome voice, and the lyrics are awesome.
Nickelback, Shinedown, Seether, Trapt, Royal Bliss, Theory of a Deadman, 10 Years, 12 Stones…c’mon guys, get with the program. That’s good music right there.
wow this went from mediocre woman peeping thread into horrible music thread. yowza…but Joe P is on the right track
[...] Alex Rodriguez is now dating Kate Hudson. Ben’s reaction: “Dammit. I want to date Kate Hudson.” Mike’s reaction: “You know, i never (thought) that she was all that hot.” I’m definitely siding with Ben on this one. [...]
Alyssa Milano is one hot bitch that A-Knob should have been banging before she got engaged. Wait a minute, banging babes who were hitched at the time never was a problem for The Big Choke. Feel free to doggy Alyssa, Alex.
Great movie but who cares who he’s boffing
ARod is just using Kate Hudson to get to her mother Goldie Hawn….she’s about 60…right up his grandma loving alley!
It’s sweet that you blogged about this. I found you on bing and I had been looking for info about this. Nice site, thank you for the info. I will come back to check for new info.
