WTF happened to Sharapova?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Uh oh. We broke gaslamp
April 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Cut those bangs!
Cut those bangs!
Cut those bangs!

Someone needs to relight the gaslamp
April 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Chris Webber is a douchebag. Although he’s now rightfully being paid to sit on his ass.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Clinton has NO shot at winning. She is one stubborn woman.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Webber’s good on TNT.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
The gaslamp (padres blog) headline: (60 point font)
TREVOR HOFFMAN IS DONE
The commenter draft is going swimmingly. Kind of like someone who takes off the floaties and quickly panics and struggles for help
April 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
My Panthers pick is in to TBL. So when Blazers picks, we’ll jump past 13.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
The 80-20 marriages never really work out, but make for great comedy. How does someone who is clearly so smart to make that much money act so dumb and marry so stupidly? Oh yeah, for the sex, I think.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Good to know you’re in the mix, Jay.
Is Carmen Electra on the drugs? Engaged, already?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Benji - Funny story … didn’t want to post it up top, but my brother was in the same frat with Mr. 84 Lumber’s grandson. Cool guy. Some good stories, for sure.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
$510,000? Cows? Wow.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Webber was really good on TNT the first time. He should be good on TV.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
At leat she has that Associates Degree to fall back onto.
Or maybe she could become Sharpova’s hairdresser, because the one she has now is obviously blind.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
@TBL - Whose marriage will last longer Carmen’s or Pam Anderson’s latest?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
id marry Carmen Electra…she’s a charter member of my Spank Bank.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
no shit.
is it me, or she is ballooning? she’s starting to look like a transvestite.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
What did I miss? When did Lupica become a political writer?
Oy…
April 24th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Cassie = proof that giving Puffy blowjobs can make you famous
April 24th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Can anyone tell me why girls think those bangs look good? Sportsgal? Someone? I don’t get it. They’re absolutely heinous.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
TBL - I went to high school w/ one of Hardy’s grandsons as well. Wonder if it’s the same guy? Seemed like a decent enough kid. Actually worked at McDonald’s while we were in school!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
JAY - You’re up! Email me.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
412 - Norm?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
I went to grade school with Hardy’s last wife.
/kidding, but its not out of the realm of possibility
April 24th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
TBL please get rid of the Sharapova link its scary as hell!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
my pick is in btw
April 24th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I must be sending to the wrong address. I sent it in an hour ago. I’ll try it again. gmail, right?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Damn, Pat Forde really hates Bobby Petrino.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
ATL…i dont think they look that bad. it’s not like they’re as bad as coldplay or anything.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Hoffman should just retire now
April 24th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Sharipova looks very unflattering in that dress. Although I bet she still has buns of steel. And she can wear her hair anyway she wants. She’s a fuckin Goddess.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I guess this is the place to disclose that Brian Burke is not going to Toronto - this season. I don’t blame him as the ownership is a meddlesome bunch that would have a difficult time letting a dominant personality like Burke tell them what he wants and stay out of the way.
And that was your hockey related content for today. Drive safe and buckle up!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Got your response, TBL. Panthers are in.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
TBL, i’m ready to go at pick No 20. Are you going to send out another update before my pick?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
@ATL - who’d you take for the Falcons?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Roddick has an exceptional eye for when to ditch chicks.
Whatever repugnant acts Joe Hardy’s child bride had to do in order to score the rock, I’m sure it will end up paying much more than her former salon job.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Nah, I knew a different grandson (Todd).
April 24th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I’m thinking I would prefer to have been Andy Dufresne trudging through five football fields of unimaginable filth…
April 24th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I think the draft participants are sworn to secrecy.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
But a $10 paypal donation could get you a forwarded gmail . . .
April 24th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Yeah, Beard, we have a secret handshake for those who’ve already drafted.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Quickly - The Vikings traded away their 17th pick. Who wants to draft in this spot for the Chiefs? EMAIL ME, now. If you’ve been following the draft and think you know what the Chiefs might do there, say the word and it’s yours.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Maria’s hotness was always a bit contrived…
Gaslump hasn’t been broken, all of SBNation’s down at the moment. Maintenance probably.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I never understood the big, chunky bangs myself..but yes, it is not a very flattering hairdo on most people. And like someone else said above, when did Lupica become a political writer? Sorry but I have only seen him on the sports reporters…
April 24th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
boo secrets, I thought this website was stubbornly uncorrupted and unbeholden, not holding out on it’s fans, so when’s the post going to be with the picks?
April 24th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Jay…nice pick, im feelin it.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Chiefs are takin’ Harvey out of FLA.
/or is he already gone
April 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Mike…not to ruin anything, but a certain LBJ loving statistician here took him WAAAAAYYYY too early.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I just watched a Sharapova match last week, don’t worry, she hasn’t lost a step at all. I’d marry her in a heartbeat…cuz, ya know, she’d clearly want to marry me…sigh.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Lions are off the clock, talk about a long wait.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
SI.com is gonna kick our asses.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
4 P.M. TBL, where you at?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
@spence: That is your opinion.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Well, we do get points if they take defense.
FYI, I grabbed the Chiefs pick and it is in after the Cardinals pick.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Nick…IT’S A FACT, JACK. na, i wont give away any more info, but i dont blame you for having to reach considering the way the draft went.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I wholeheartedly agree. Let’s take a quick jaunt down my checklist shall we?
Blonde? Check.
Athletic? Check.
Ass you could bounce quarters off of? Check.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Um, Brett Favre is the next Madden coverboy. WTF?!?!?!?
http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/scoop-brett-favre-to-cover-madden-nfl-09/?biz=1
April 24th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
TBL- Just sent my pick for the Cardinals at 16, along with my not so witty comment. I’m not sure if I received all the updates so my player may be gone already, but I doubt it.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
i only comment on posts with over 400 or more comments
April 24th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
It was either him or Merling, and that d00d played for Clemson, so fuck an ACC.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Well, we got at least halfway through before 5 eastern. Not bad.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
@irish- you too, I thought I was alone in doing that. Guess not.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
How is it that I was told I could draft for the Lions and then I am ripped off them a week ago and replaced by a dude from Kansas City?!?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Who wants to trade? Who has the Browns? I’ll trade LDT and the 27th pick for Brady Quinn’s supply of fag mags.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
CRM…can’t do it, those fag mags are way too precious.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Okay if Brett is on the cover of madden who gets hurt Brett or Aaron Rodgers?

I love Stern’s take on flopping. I was thinking the exact same thing about how to deal with it properly and was surprised that the Commish shared my idea verbatim. It’s why Americans don’t like soccer.
