Round The Bend 10.21.08

Today's edition of Round The Bend has a case of the Tuesdays…


  • We discuss the Singletary era beginning in San Francisco
  • We discuss the downfall of Elite XC and what fighters UFC may take in
  • Last night's Patriots Broncos matchup and whether that Pats are turning a corner
  • The latest political news, as well as video of John McCain's first debate in the 60s!


JackGonzo: Gooooooooooood Morning Vietnam!

Welcome to the first day of the rest of SayHey's life

9:44 AM Dews: Hell ya, Singletary is an interesting pick

9:45 AM SayHey: WooooHoooo

Should get some excellent news shortly regarding his long term contract deal

9:46 AM JackGonzo: Honestly, I don't support firing Nolan, but LOVE Singletary

SayHey: Singletary was long rumored to succeed Nolan

Dews: Mr. SanDiego sends his regards,but he is unfortunately dealing with Verizon on behalf of the "Hostel" at the moment...

SayHey: Anyone but Singletary and I would have been alittle upset

Dews: and I need to step away for 2 mins, but will return

JackGonzo: I take it PetcoParkEast is having communication issues

SayHey: Why is Verizon sucking? (We all know they suck, but whats the issue?)

9:47 AM PhillyFan: he probably means fios

SayHey: Ah

PhillyFan: i like the cell service :)

SayHey: Yeh, Noodle has hated them ever since the hostel got it

PhillyFan: But it seems like the house has always had problems with Fios

JackGonzo: Not surprising

9:48 AM Though MrSD should be careful with his team

SayHey: Im sure it will be the same kind of problem the Phillies will run into tomorrow night

JackGonzo: three out of the four California teams have fired their head coaches this year, the Super Chargers are the only ones left

SayHey: Yep.........Norv Turner will get fired, as will Mike Martz, which will result in the Niners rehiring Norv Turner

9:49 AM At least thats what im hoping for =)

PhillyFan: haha

9:50 AM SayHey: Hate Norv all ya want, but he is a magician when it comes to QB's

JackGonzo: wait, you didn't hire mike martz though

Dews: Martz is still there though right?

JackGonzo: oh, you're not talking bout for head coach

nevermind

SayHey: Yes, I was being hypothetical

JackGonzo: I just woke up

SayHey: Martz isnt going anywhere

JackGonzo: how bout drafting a QB from a school who runs a pro style offense, not the spread?

9:51 AM SayHey: Yeh, You mean like Aaron Rogers? whom we passed on?

JackGonzo: Yeah, the local kid

The Cal Bear

SayHey: Lots of us wanted him

JackGonzo: The one everyone passed on his entire life and is now rocking it in Green Bay, yeah that kid

9:52 AM SayHey: Aaron Rogers has a similar style as Jeff Garcia, and I recall Garcia was money in SF

JackGonzo: Clone didn't, didn't and doesn't trust Cal QBs.

Hell, depending on how the year goes we have what you need...for the right price

Dews: Garcia was great for SF

Anderson or EAS man?

JackGonzo: pretty much

SayHey: We will likely snag a QB via free agency in 2009

9:53 AM "Now Im Done"........with Cleveland

Quinn should have gotten some snaps Sunday night

Dews: I'd be shocked if Anderson finishes the year as the starter in Cleveland

SayHey: Rommy is drinking that polluted Cleveland water

Why else would he NOT have Quinn getting some snaps?

9:54 AM Dews: think there are some incriminating photos

that Anderson must have

SayHey: Yeh, his needle dick or his dead arm?

JackGonzo: Arm is definitely NOT dead

dude still has a rocket

9:55 AM SayHey: True, so it must be the other

Then again, it would be helpful for Anderson if his team didnt have life threatening illnesses every year

Or stone hands

JackGonzo: they're preaching trust and loyalty and so in their minds they've hitched their buggy to Anderson, it wouldn't show loyalty to switch horses

9:56 AM then again, if the Jaguars could just solve the problem for us...

SayHey: True, but the loyalty card isnt going to save Rommys job

JackGonzo: Romeo is gone after this year period

Dews: how long has Rommy had that job?

2-3 years?

SayHey: 4th year

Dews: ahh k

SayHey: Hired the same year as Nolan

JackGonzo: Savage is staying, but short of winning a Super Bowl there's no way Romeo keeps his job

9:57 AM SayHey: If thats any indication

JackGonzo: It's time to bring the stache back to the AFC North

SayHey: 2009 prediction.........The "chin" takes over in Clevleand

So im assuming that topic 1 is the head coach scenarios in the NFL

?

JackGonzo: It appears to be

9:58 AM Dews: Kneel before ZORN

JackGonzo: Now then, topic number 2...EliteXC is apparently folding up their tent and calling it quits

SayHey: I predict Andy Reid getting fired

End of the season

Yeh, I read about that this morning

JackGonzo: He won't get fired as much as "resign"

SayHey: And Kimbo is still under investigation

Or, his fight is

9:59 AM Dews: yea, they'll give him the class way outtatown

JackGonzo: Most of Elite was a bunch of has beens anyways, but there are definitely some interesting fighters who may make the jump to the big time, and for back to the big time

PhillyFan: Andy Reid won't get fired

SayHey: Im waiting for Reid to pull a "Mora". Because you know the anger is just lingering inside that huge belly

The Shamrocks were pretty much it in Elite

10:00 AM Outside of Kimbo, who is finished

PhillyFan: Banner loves him...rumors lie

JackGonzo: The title holders should all get a shot in the UFC

SayHey: Banner Smash!!

I agree

Give them 1 fight to prove there medal

JackGonzo: Lawler, Shields, Noons and MAYBE even Silva

10:01 AM SayHey: Silva wants to retire

JackGonzo: Nick Diaz should come back

10:03 AM Now the interesting part will be whether Dana White brings in Gina, which in the past said he has zero interest in promoting women's fights

SayHey: Gina is pure money

JackGonzo: but Gina now has the most watched MMA fight in American history

SayHey: Dana White (who i kinda cant stand) would be insane not to promote her

JackGonzo: and her next fight was to be against Cyborg, the villain of Million Dollar Baby

SayHey: Cyborg is a beast

JackGonzo: I can understand his reasoning

10:04 AM He doesn't have a CBS deal, he's on Spike

So for CBS it's easy to promote Gina

SayHey: I just dont buy any of Dana Whites crap, after the way he treated Randy Catour (sp)

JackGonzo: Now you put her on PPV, will people PAY to see her fight?

SayHey: Oh, hands down

I would pay

10:05 AM JackGonzo: Yes, well there were faults on that on both sides

Emi wanted WAY more money then UFC was going to pay

SayHey: I agree, but even George S didnt publically bash Roger Clemens. Thats how I see it

JackGonzo: Besides it's not gonna matter here in a few months after Coture is killed by the Next Big Thing Brock Lesnar

SayHey: Clemens holding out for more money, that is

10:06 AM Fuckin A.........Brock is going to manhandle him

JackGonzo: Yes, but Dana has to, it brings attention to a sport that John McCain has called "human cockfighting"

QuadX L gloves, that's what Brock uses

SayHey: Oh, and Boxing isnt human cockfighting?

10:07 AM JackGonzo: That's like Andre the Giant sized hands

Well, there's no kicking...

SayHey: Only weakness Brock has are his chicken legs

True, but there is biting

JackGonzo: and you know as a POW he saw some cockfighting...

SayHey: Wait, wasnt McCant the cock? Or is that anti-american of me to say?

JackGonzo: Brock doesn

'bah

10:08 AM doesn't have chicken legs, those things are massive

what happened was that was his second professional fight

SayHey: Well, chicken calves......sorry, should have specified

JackGonzo: the ref illegally broke up Brock from murdering Mir, and then just made a rookie mistake

SayHey: Not knocking Brock, dude is a man-beast

I agree

10:09 AM Phillies suck!

10:10 AM Nothing?? Is PhillyFan alive?

JackGonzo: Saving her tears for next week

Dews: say Crack

SayHey: How about tomorrow night?

JackGonzo: Though it would be interesting to do a UFC 91 live blog

SayHey: Even tho I think the Phills will win game 1

PhillyFan: Where are the giants eric?

10:11 AM SayHey: Im down for that

PhillyFan: ...that's what I thought.

JackGonzo: Saturday Nov 15

SayHey: Giants are where we all expected them to be

PhillyFan: phillies are inthe world series, they don't suck.

SayHey: No surprise

LOL just checking for fog on the glasss, PhillyFan

10:12 AM JackGonzo: Topic Three....throw one out there

10:13 AM Dews: Pats death was exaggerated

SayHey: Oh, as it should have been

They may be a bit more human, now that they have 3 injured RBs

JackGonzo: Pats just that good? Or do the Broncos suck that badly?

SayHey: Broncos dont suck that badly

Dews: Pats are still good

10:14 AM JackGonzo: I for one am leaning towards the Broncos sucking

I have not been impressed with them at all this season

their defense may be the worse in the league save for Champ Bailey

Dews: I think they are just finally making changes to suit Cassel's ability

SayHey: Hard to say, since the Bronco's RB corp are all hurt

And Cutler got hurt on the opening drive

Champ is goign to miss some time

I agree Dews

10:15 AM Dews: they needed to make those changes before and stop believing they had another Brady in the wings

SayHey: The line still wont protect him, but Cassel made some good plays

JackGonzo: I'm just not impressed with anyone in the AFC West right now

is that the worst division or is it the NFC North?

SayHey: AFC West is just as bad as the NFC West

NFC North bad?

When did that happen?

10:16 AM JackGonzo: Any division who has the Lions...

Dews: ah yea

JackGonzo: The Vikings passing game...

Dews: In Gus we trust... sometimes

10:17 AM SayHey: NFC West is pretty God awful right now

JackGonzo: The Cardinals aren't, they're putting it together

SayHey: I dont buy them yet

PhillyFan: Sorry I am very distracted today

JackGonzo: I know it's tough for us to buy them, they are the cardinals

SayHey: Rams, Hawks, and Niners have a combined 5 wins

Thats bad

Dews: Cardinals are one of those dangerous teams though

JackGonzo: as you should be, you're coming to my neighborhood in less then a year to visit

Dews: they can beat anyone

10:18 AM SayHey: Rams could become dangerous soon also

Dews: but also lose to anyone

I'm starting to believe in the Rams

JackGonzo: Right now no team is hotter then the Rams

Dews: I don't believe that Dallas is THAT bad

SayHey: To soon

JackGonzo: So much for the mighty mighty NFC East

Dews: oh no, we are still the mighty NFC East

SayHey: I knew Dallas was that bad........So much bullshit attitudes

Dews: they just aren't THAT good

JackGonzo: How long until the Giants and Eagles fall to the Rams?

SayHey: To much talent, not enough discipine

10:19 AM Dews: those Pats comparisons were bogus

SayHey: Agreed

JackGonzo: Raise your hand if you'd laugh your ass off if the only wins the Rams got this year were against the "best division in the NFL"?

SayHey: Im starting to believe Jarod Mayo is the Defensive ROY also

JackGonzo: after a game?

SayHey: LOL id laugh

10:20 AM Mayo has been very solid

JackGonzo: Solid, but has he been Top Ten pick solid?

10:21 AM PhillyFan: hey we already beat the rams

38-3

thanks :)

Dews: not THE Rams

the old Rams

PhillyFan: ha

but he didn't say THE rams

JackGonzo: this is true

PhillyFan: he didn't specify

JackGonzo: but you didn't play the Hasslet Rams

10:22 AM SayHey: Hasslet is a pretty decent coach

PhillyFan: Best move they could have made

SayHey: Any update on Westbrooks ribs?

10:23 AM JackGonzo: He still has more then the normal number?

SayHey: Im looking at whether or not they are still broken

Seeing how the Reskins beat him mercifully

10:24 AM PhillyFan: I think he may play... he needed the bye though

Dews: who, weezy?

JackGonzo: Well Topic Number 4, as per usual we go to politics and whatever random tidbits anyone has

10:25 AM SayHey: Palin broke away from the McCant platform

Palin and her smartness, decided to openly support an ammendment ban on gay marriage, where as McCant rejected that

JackGonzo: Yes, but is wasn't a shocker that she's for an amendment

10:26 AM SayHey: True, but I thought McCant put a muzzle on her

She deviated rrom the script!

Dews: Biden kinda screwed up with his comments about foreign leaders though

SayHey: I dont think Biden screwed up

10:27 AM JackGonzo: Though I did find video of McCain debating in the sixties


there ya go

SayHey: BWAHAHA

10:28 AM To funny

10:29 AM JackGonzo: BWAH!

No mud slinging!

10:30 AM Though William The Bloody Kristol is attempting to claim that 9-11 did not cause the xenophobia we are now seeing in this country

SayHey: I wonder what he thinks did

10:31 AM Dews: <-- now dealing with Verizon in a tag team effort with Mr. SD

SayHey: What is the problem?

Billing?

There "award winning" service?

JackGonzo: HOT TAG! HOT TAG!

Dews: one enormous clusterF*&(

10:33 AM JackGonzo: wow, interesting news bit

Anne Pressley, a TV news reporter who also played Anne Coulter in Oliver Stone's W., was attacked in her home over the weekend -- beaten and stabbed several times -- and is suffering injuries that police say are "life-threatening". There are no suspects right now, however seeing as her purse was missing, police suggest a robbery.

SayHey: I had a feeling someone would get hurt due to that movie

10:34 AM JackGonzo: I don't know bout that

SayHey: I thought someone was going to bomb the Uptown when i was watching it

Dews: yea, read about that on the commute in today

JackGonzo: Now if it was someone who was portraying Malkin, then maybe

Dews: was found in bed with head wounds and beaten around the face

JackGonzo: Also interesting is that Daniel Craig turned down playing Thor

SayHey: Yeh, i read that also

10:35 AM JackGonzo: I still look forward to our second favorite roman playing thor

sinice our favorite is shooting up screens december

10:37 AM SayHey: Lucious Verinas!!

10:38 AM Dews: he'd be a great Thor I think

SayHey: Yep........Cannot wait for Punisher War Zone

Oh, and a side note- I totally forgot he was in Trainspotting

JackGonzo: We're gonna end today with a funny tidbit about this voter fraud bullshit from New Mexico

Voter Fraud in New Mexico Stumble

SayHey: Just thought id throw that out there

JackGonzo: Most people don't remember who all was in Trainspotting cept for Obi-Wan

10:39 AM Dews: no, and the amazing baby that can walk on the ceiling

JackGonzo: There is no one named Duran Duran....oh wait a minute...

SayHey: LOL, boy in the bubble moron

10:40 AM Oh, and our favorite Power Ranger is heading to death row

Dews: favorite?

SayHey:
Murderous Child Acotr

PhillyFan: what color was he?

haha

SayHey: pffft i dunno, he was the nerdy one

JackGonzo: The pink one that looked like Hilary Swank? Or the White Ranger who had the flute sword?

Dews: oh she was cute

SayHey: She was cute

PhillyFan: Deleon, 29, is a former child actor who allegedly boasted that he was a star on the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" but apparently had only a small part in one episode

10:41 AM haha

Dews: haha, thats great

SayHey: haha and no he is going to die

JackGonzo: see, that's karma biting you in the ass about bragging about that shit

PhillyFan: That was Amy Jo Johnson

Dews: ahh yea

Presidential Debate Drinking Game

For tonights debate. This comes from an ongoing dialog leading up to a Debate Party tonight. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments.

found online:

1. Drink anytime John McCain says the phrase "my friends… " . I suggest shotgunning two glasses of white wine and capping it off with a terrorist fist bump.
2. Drink if the name "Carly Fiorina" is mentioned. Pull out the beer funnel, close your eyes and drink until the election starts to make sense.
3. Drink anytime a candidate LOOKS like they want to use the word 'recession' but instead says 'crisis'. I suggest a full bodied red wine with just a hint of panic.
4. Drink anytime either candidate gives the other a compliment so backhanded, you start looking for a bruise. I'd go with a spiced rum for this one.
5. Anytime you wish Tina Fey was a candidate, down 2 tequila shooters and google her SNL performance.
6. Drink anytime the word "inexperienced" comes up and you suddenly realize candidates need to come up with a new word to throw at each other because you are really tired of hearing that one.Double drinking if you get depressed and/or scared after realizing that you are choosing between two candidates who both have had that word thrown at their campaign and one of them will be leading the country very soon. I suggest doing a keg stand, followed by a cartwheel.
7. If anytime just hearing the name "Governor Palin" makes you want to drink, DRINK. Drink whatever is nearest to you, as long as it's not the stove cleaner. And then carefully re-apply your lipstick.
8. Drink anytime you start to feel that Jim Lehrer sounds like your grandfather. Obviously you are going to have to drink vodka for this. (It's my g-pop's drink of choice. It's the Ukrainian in us).
9. Anytime people start listing off acronyms for Federal departments and you don't know what they stand for- drink your neighbors drink. And realize that you are not alone.
10. If at any point, you find that you are replying to the debate (this includes yelling at the candidates) and are awaiting a rebuttal, slam back a martini. Then congratulate yourself for slamming back a drink that's not often slammed.
11.Drink if you start daydreaming what you would do with $700 billion dollars. Drink homemade moonshine with a chaser of your no-brand soda you bought because it was on sale.
12.If the phrase "I will follow him to the gates of Hell" is used, drink whatever the hell you want. And then have another drink for me.
13. Anytime the media is blamed for everything that is wrong, kick back with a shot of whiskey while clutching your Keith Olbermann 8×11 you printed off just for the occasion.
14. If at anytime you yell 'booyah!' after a particularly good retort, stand up, smack your own ass and pour yourself a gin and tonic.
15. Anytime you realize that you don't care about the debates, you know the issues and you know who you are going to vote for- stop drinking, congratulate yourself and go to bed.

The Talk Clock


This is a lil item that the Chris Dodd campaign came up with for the various debates and this is last night's times for the debate. Sadly former Senator and everyone's favorite crazy old man, Mike Gravel, was not invited to the debate. Debate organizers excluded former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska on grounds that he did not meet fundraising and polling thresholds.

Right, you hate the fact that this old man calls you out for giving the front runners more time, in some case 3 times more time, then the rest of the candidates. Chris Dodd is quickly moving up my list of men who need to be considered for the Vice Presidential nomination. I think the man is starting to show a backbone in this election, and in Congress.

At least one of these politicians are evolving.

A noun's a special kind of word,

My hat goes off this morning to Presidential Candidate Joe Biden of Delaware. Yes, I know it's a boring stat, but at least this man has watch School House Rock and knows how Rudy Guliani makes a sentence.
Biden: “…And the irony is, Rudy Giuliani, probably the most under qualified person since George Bush to seek the presidency, is here - talking about any of the people here. Rudy Giuliani. I mean think about it, Rudy Giuliani, there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence — a noun and a verb and 9/11 and I mean, there’s nothing else. There’s nothing else.”
