The best part of that one run is that it came on a balk.

NicJ said...

Are you ready for some football? - Hank Williams Jr.

MR.F said...

The Emmy's are the biggest farce of an awards show since the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You just posted that so you could use the Burns awards show, didn't you Mr F?

MR.F said...

I will seize every opportunity to reference the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

There are two MNF games for Week 1? When the hell did that happen?

NicJ said...

Bad news: Dodgers suck.

Good News: I am currently tied for first in the SOSG fantasy football league.

spank said...

When the East Sports Pansy Network took over.

Kyle Baker said...

East Sports Pansy Network!

Kyle Baker said...

I had to go outside to do some watering, and I was thinking about who this season's Dodger MVP would be. For the entire season. Is it a pitcher (Kuo?) Is it Loney (as shitty as he's been lately, over the season, he's been the most consistent)? Really hard to say. And that's sad.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It got quiet here.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm being dumbed down by Christine Baranski right now.

Kyle Baker said...

^ I didn't have that far to go, of course.

NicJ said...

Blake Dewitt for season MVP, went out before the team really went south.

NicJ said...

Dylan is reporting that manny is heading to chitown tomorrow.

Kyle Baker said...

Did Betty White just say "Now back that mother up!"?

Kyle Baker said...

HURLEY!!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

RANDOM FAT GUY FROM LOST AND JOEL MCHALE

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

TIM GUNN!!!

Kyle Baker said...

RANDY JACKSON IS THE FUTURE OF THIS AWARDS TELECAST!

rbnlaw said...

Did anyone let Spank know that The End was by The Doors, not The Beatles?

My choice would be, "It's The End of The World As We Know It, But I Feel Fine"
-R.E.M.

Probably the vodka talking. Anyone with good tips on digital voice recorders to be used for voiceover auditions? Otherwise, I'm going with the Sony ICDUX 200. Cheap, good quality, and rechargeable.

rbnlaw said...

Oh for fuck's sake. This is the Emmy red carpet thread, too?

OK, I'm in this bish.

Kyle Baker said...

Did Conan age 10 years?

rbnlaw said...

CONAN MOTHERFUCKING O'BRIAN IS THE FUTURE OF COMEDY!!

rbnlaw said...

Probably the best stage design the Emmys have ever had.

Paul said...

I fell asleep. Did we win?

The Award show for TV is on already? Or is that the east coast feed?

I can't Watch an award show unless it is dark outside.

rbnlaw said...

BETTY WHITE IS THE FUTURE.

Kyle Baker said...

Why does the gayest guy (Neil Patrick Harris) have the WORST suit on? How does that happen?

rbnlaw said...

How many of those gay guys are really gay?

Just askin.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That bodes well for Modern Family.

And John Hodgman is still the guy who describes stuff about winners.

rbnlaw said...

Absolut vodka and diet cherry 7-Up.

You heard it here first.

Kyle Baker said...

@RBN

Don't know re the guys who play gay guys on Modern Family.

I do know NPH and John Goodman are. One is very openly out.

NicJ said...

LenDale White is on the broncos now?

rbnlaw said...

Do all animated characters have English accents now? When the Vikings in the dragon movie were Scottish, I began to have my doubts.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

He is. He was the one who posted the photo of Tebow with the monk cut.

Kyle Baker said...

Hey, RBN! Mrs Dusty said lay off DreamWorks movies!

#DreamWorksExecutiveComment

Paul said...

Absolut vodka and diet cherry 7-UP.....NPH's drink?

rbnlaw said...

DB,
I knew about NPH.

John Goodman? But he played Roseann's husband.

rbnlaw said...

Wait. I'm watching right now.

NicJ said...

Goodman is gay?

my world has been turned upside down.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

GREG DANIELS IS GOD

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Modern Family is going to sweep.

rbnlaw said...

IT'S A MODERN FAMILY ROUT!!

Goddamn, Sofia Bergara is hott.

Yes, I know I misspelled her name earlier.

Paul said...

I can't see anyone from either sex wanting to do it with Goodman except Rosanne.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

From what I've gathered on Twitter, Manny to ChiSox is done, but parameters have yet to be decided. Unclear if it's just going to be a salary dump or if prospects will be dealt in exchange.

Kyle Baker said...

Yes, re Goodman.

I would make sweet, sweet love to him to thank him for Raising Arizona.

Paul said...

O/U on manny homeruns set at 5.

rbnlaw said...

Like there was any doubt about Jane Lynch.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Kristin Wiig was nominated? FOR WHAT?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Tony Jackson says it's a straight waiver claim.

Paul said...

Lol Rbn the diet sent me over the edge.

Sometimes you have to reach. Although I would just go neat and cold with the vodka solo.

Josh S. said...

I cannot hang with this all day thread thing.

I am not as prolific as you guys today.

YEAH JANE LYNCH!

rbnlaw said...

I have unrequited love for Jane Lynch.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You're damn right it's unrequited.


Also, go Tony Shalhoub!

Paul said...

That money should cover day one of the trial tomorrow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Jayson Stark says there's still a chance a trade could be worked out.

Paul said...

@Josh

I wouldn't call it prolific...

rbnlaw said...

Paul,
If I went neat with the vodka, 2 things would happen: 1. I'd be oout of vodka, and; 2. I'd be unable to type right now.

#2 getting close to reality.

JANE LYNCH IS THE FUTURE OF GLEE.

Josh S. said...

ChiSox will win the Central, sweep the ALDS, and then get humiliated in 5 in the ALCS.

Such is the fate of the one who wears the Manny Totem.

Kyle Baker said...

I'd rather have sex with Goodman than Jane Lynch.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

BETTY WHITE ON COMMUNITY!!!!!

Paul said...

I would call it prolifique.....le fuck le McCourt.

NicJ said...

i would like to get something for manny. I mean come on we originally had to give up future hall of famer Andy Laroche for him.

rbnlaw said...

That was shit. Mike O'Mally's performance on Glee was awesome. As a father, I was right there with him.

Paul said...

Are Mr. F and MRLASF still battling for the monkey?

They must be on to lines from the ewok movie and the Kramer PI sitcom.

NicJ said...

i havent watched actual television in such a long time. I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm still sick of Family Guy.

Kyle Baker said...

@Paul

I call that movie Battle of the Teddy Bears.

rbnlaw said...

It's a Glee/MF sweep I tell ye.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Even the guys want Clooney.

Paul said...

They better not trade Xavier Paul!!!!

rbnlaw said...

Why are the Emmys funny, and the Oscars suck ass?

Josh S. said...

HELL YES SHELDON

Josh S. said...

MONK SUCKS ASS

rbnlaw said...

OK, the fuckers on Dodger Talk were saying that Colletti was going to pitch in cash just to get the Sox to take Manny. After losing two straight, we're not going to get shit for the dude.

Had we talked with the Sox on Friday, we'd have enough pitching to get a hitter for next year. But then, I've been drinking.

What 's the excuse for the Dodger Talk callers?

Paul said...

TIM TEBOW IS THE FUTURE OF THIS CIVILIZATION!!!

rbnlaw said...

COLT MC COY IS THE FUTURE OF THE BEER DISTRIBUTING MARKET FOR THE GREATER DALLAS-FT. WORTH AREA.

(limited to the Miller family of beers)

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

MATT STAFFORD IS THE FUTURE OF DETROIT'S SELF-PITY AND SUFFERING

rbnlaw said...

DON'T MUCK WITH THE FUNK!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I thought they were supposed to use tweets to introduce presenters.

rbnlaw said...

Amy Pohler brought her twins to the show.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Yeah I didn't realize Amy Poehler was so... endowed.

rbnlaw said...

And now, the category no one cares about.

Reality.

Vodka time.

Josh S. said...

Actually, I used to love Monk, but somewhere along the line it lost its heart and just became "Oh that wacky Monk and his whacky neuroses!" I grew bored.

rbnlaw said...

OK, Deadliest Catch rocks ass.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

GOB

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

SOMEBODY OTHER THAN AMAZING RACE WON??????

IT'S THE END OF DAYS!!!

rbnlaw said...

GOB?

Kyle Baker said...

Kyle Orton is an idiot. A gamer, but an idiot.

Kyle Baker said...

GOB?

rbnlaw said...

but I like Amazing Race.

rbnlaw said...

ABSOLUT VODKA IS THE FUTURE OF MY LIVER

Kyle Baker said...

@Josh

Did you mean to imply two different meanings in that sentence that used "whack" and "wack?" Just curious.

Kyle Baker said...

RBN said

"But then, I've been drinking....

...What 's the excuse for the Dodger Talk callers?"

Uh, they've been drinking, too.

I haven't been listening. Anything I should know about?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

When did NBC get the NBA?

#SplitScreensAreSo2008

Josh S. said...

There isn't a single show debuting this season that I'm even mildly interested in.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So far I am not enjoying Fallon as the host. He's done nothing outside of the taped segment.



Huh. These have largely been my complaints about him as Late Night host.

Josh S. said...

Christopher Meloni did his best work with Moose and Zee on Nick Jr.

Kyle Baker said...

I am a masochist. I'm now watching BOS v TB whilst I cook dinner.

Josh S. said...

Are they trying to get done in under two hours? This thing is moving at a manic pace.

Kyle Baker said...

Nahasapeemapetilon.

I just wanted to say that.

Kyle Baker said...

Wonder how Obama feels about ManRam to Sox de Blancos?

Steve Sax said...

Hi guys, just rolled back into town...

So is manny a pale hoser, or not?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I remember when Conan hosted four years ago, and he did this bit where Bob Newhart was locked in an air-tight container with only three hours of air, and if the Emmys went into overtime Bob Newhart would die of asphyxiation.

rbnlaw said...

@DB:
Most of the callers were bagging on Manny's performance and playing to Josh Suchon's loathing of Manny.

Krist almighty, the guy delivered (for the most part) for 2 years. Now, because he's on waivers, he's a malcontent.

If my employer went shopping me around (not bloody likely), how would I feel? Like I needed time off from a good union job, I suppose. (disclaimer: I do have a good union job)

rbnlaw said...

Sax,
Where did you stay this time? I tell ye, The Phoenix is the shit.

Did I mention the time I stayed there when the Flaming Lips were in SF?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Since when did having a show in LA become a gimmick?

Kyle Baker said...

Mr F,this one's for you:

Tweet by Joe Posnanski:

"By year's end, Albert Pujols will have more HRs than Ruth, hits than Rose, RBIs than Aaron and runs than Rickey at age 30."

THIS is the kind of stat-based commentary that I love.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hugh Laurie never wins.

Kyle Baker said...

Thanks much for that re-cap, RBN. Probably the vocal minority calling in.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That Community commercial was pretty funny.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Couldn't the Emmys have just hired a musician and let him perform off script? This is just painful.

Kyle Baker said...

In the middle of writing my Manny leaving article, even though I have no platform for it. I just need to get it off my chest.

And speaking of chest, Amy Poehler.

rbnlaw said...

DB,
It's what I do for a brutha.

The Emmys will be over in 15 min. Then what?

Oh yeah. Drink more.

rbnlaw said...

MARISKA HARGATAY IS THE FUTURE OF MY WET DREAMS.

rbnlaw said...

Kyra Sedgewick is a goof.

Fact: rbn has been to the grave of Edye Sedgewick in Santa Ynez.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I hope someone takes Fallon's guitar and smashes it over his head.

rbnlaw said...

Here comes the Coco.

rbnlaw said...

I'll be damned, TV is still cool.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Here's the stuff that makes me watch TV.

rbnlaw said...

I wish Wanda Sykes was funny more often.

rbnlaw said...

So, did 24 win anything?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wait, Wanda Sykes used to be funny?

spank said...

@ Rb

Fuck the Doors

Pick up The Beatles Abbey Road. Second to the last song.THE END.

Never question a musician fool.

Lates

rbnlaw said...

Why do I love that Russian gazillionaire commercial?

rbnlaw said...

DAMN YOU SPANKY!

That's what I get for selling my vinyl years ago.

He plays the Beatles on me. Fuck me in the armpit.

rbnlaw said...

Oh, and I share your Doors sentiment.

Overrated and bloated they were.

Kyle Baker said...

Can you say "prick" on network TV? Guess so.

Kyle Baker said...

GERVAIS IS THE SECOND LEAST FUNNY PERSON I KNOW AFTER JAY LENO.

Kyle Baker said...

Completely agree re The Doors.

Kyle Baker said...

I want a god damn beer!

rbnlaw said...

No shit, I went to the Emmys back in 1984. We got shitfaced on champaign waiting to get in. That was when they had it in Pasadena.

rbnlaw said...

OK, I'm buying the Sony ICDUX 200 tomorrow.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Apparently, Betty White buys you an Emmy nomination these days.

SNL = Crap

rbnlaw said...

Give it to Coco

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Jon Stewart always wins.

Josh S. said...

Brilliant Tonight Show clip.

rbnlaw said...

I FUCKING HATE NBC.

spank said...

Did the Cosby Show win?

rbnlaw said...

DB,
Did she vote for The Tonight Show?

Even if she didn't, I bet she's in the minority.

Kyle Baker said...

Interestingly, she actually worked on TONIGHT SHOW many years ago. Nonetheless she would NEVER vote for that shite and just confirmed that she did not.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The Tonight Show nominated was Conan's Tonight Show, not Leno's.

rbnlaw said...

Still DB, she must admit, Conan > Leno on TTS.

If she voted for Stewart, I will absolve her.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Clooney is the Emmy's grab? Really?

rbnlaw said...

I like who I am, but if I was anyone else, I'd be fucking George Clooney in a New York second.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I really, truly want to take that guitar and smash it over Fallon's head until he is unconscious.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey look, it's Jim and that woman from the basic cable show who ruined SNL.

MR.F said...

"Did anyone let Spank know that The End was by The Doors, not The Beatles?" -rbnlaw

I can't tell if there was sarcasm in that post or not.

NicJ said...

JON GILMORE IS THE FUTURE OF THIS ORGANIZATION!!!

rbnlaw said...

Mr. F:
I wish there was.

NicJ said...

who is the woman who ruined SNL? im not watching.

NicJ said...

who the hell is this bitch with the long as speech? its the emmys not the oscars. Move it along.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

January Jones. She's very good on Mad Men, but she can't perform live. She was terrible.

MR.F said...

Oh I didn't see Spanky's reply. I didn't mean to pile on.

Carry on.

MR.F said...

@Spanky,
What do you play?

rbnlaw said...

CHEVY CHASE IS THE FUTURE OF TV.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I do enjoy Chevy Chase on Community.

Kyle Baker said...

My point above was that she would never vote for Leno for anything.

rbnlaw said...

BUDWEISER IS MY FUTURE BEER

That's Claire Danes? My daughter's acting coach said she reminds her of Claire Danes.

Maybe 15 years ago.

spank said...

Relax Rb I was just being a cock. Did I come off that strong? HaHa Classic!

I play Lead Guitar and Bass Guitar Mr.F

BTW Did St.Elsewhere win?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The obits. The time when I realize that, yes, since the last Emmys Gary Coleman did pass away.

Kyle Baker said...

Let me be clear: We are a Leno hating household. Strickly represent Conan.

And can never stay up late enough to watch any of those shows.

Kyle Baker said...

@Spank

Honeymooners is winning everything this year.

Kyle Baker said...

The Soupy Sales bit is going to get RBN all weepy now.

rbnlaw said...

BONER!!

karina said...

Is this the Emmy watching thread?

@Rbnlaw I adore you anytime you make a R.E.M, reference, same as any other person who does.

and the Vodka comments...yummy!I like vodka with sugar free cranberry juice

rbnlaw said...

Spankman,
No sweat. I didn't take it the wrong way.

That's what she said.

*wipes tears away after seeing Soupy Sales*

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Yes, yes it is.

Kyle Baker said...

@RBN

Did you say that before or after I posted re you and Soupy Sales?

spank said...

This is also the not watching the EMMY's but watching the EMMY thread thread.

Kyle Baker said...

Well said, Spank.

MR.F said...

I'm on Spanky's side here.

karina said...

I was absent because we were talking with my brother and his wife.Today it's his day off and he planned to play some golf.He was very mean with the Dodgers, he was delighted CarGo owned them today.

Guess what? it's raining a lot and he can't play. That's why, ladies and gents, karma is a bitch!

karina said...

600!

Kyle Baker said...

I don't know what YOU DON'T KNOW JACK is. Is it a show with Dodger bloggers whining about Torre?

Kyle Baker said...

Oh, wow, Karina. You got the karma comment cathatsis going and then nailed 600. Woot!

spank said...

BTW Did Rhoda win?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You Don't Know Jack was about Kevorkian.

spank said...

@ Dusty

Ellen?

spank said...

What? Did I scare everyone off.

MR.F said...

I'm here. I'm trying to learn guitar. I mean not this instant, but recently.

Kyle Baker said...

I'm here. Thinking that Pacino needs to do a few lines in order to seem remotely alive.

spank said...

Right On Mr.F

Just remember it's supposed to be fun

karina said...

Is it masochist if I say I'm watching Sunday Night Baseball?

spank said...

I am trying to get the facts on the draft.Like if I miss a pick will it make one for me

Kyle Baker said...

@Spanky

Yes, it will.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

I'm watching baseball, too.

MR.F said...

I'd watch Sunday Night Baseball over the Emmy's.

Josh S. said...

"Winner of an Emmy and a Tony: Lawrence Fishburne!"

And soon to be the father of an AVN Award winner!

NicJ said...

@spank, yes i believe it will just take the best available player according to their ranking system. Unless you set it to be position specific.

NicJ said...

@Josh, i doubt it. She was unimpressive.

Kyle Baker said...

Josh slides in with the Fishburne daughter porn reference that I was about to make.

MR.F said...

While I don't know what "AVN" stands for, I could a least take a good guess as to what it actually is...

Kyle Baker said...

^ Unlike Russell Martin

MR.F said...

LOL @ NicJ.

karina said...

AVN?

Kyle Baker said...

Oh, boy.

NicJ said...

dont ask karina. Youve already been traumatized enough.

spank said...

BTW Did the Dodgers win?






Ouch!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm not going near that with a ten-foot pole.
