MrSanDiego: Morning
JackGonzo: Good Morning Everyone and welcome to Round The Bend, and we're coming to you today live from Joe The Plumber's basement
SayHey: G'Mornin
Well, he isnt REALLY a plumber now
Noodle: morning
9:53 AM JackGonzo: Let us see how good his unlicensed, un-union plumbing really is
Noodle: with the time change you always have these talks when i have to head to work
SayHey: In the sports world, we would call this guy a "Scab"
JackGonzo: go to work and get back to us
MrSanDiego: I don't feel bad for you Noodle
SayHey: Niether do I
Early football
9:54 AM JackGonzo: in the sports world we'd call this guy "interim coach"
MrSanDiego: you can go to the beach after work punk
SayHey: A seat warmer
JackGonzo: and go to Tijuana when you needed a drunk co-ed
SayHey: And some odd need for a donkey show
PhillyFan: gross
SayHey: You know you want to see one
JackGonzo: dynamite drop in monty
9:55 AM interspecies erotica
MrSanDiego: way to be inappropriate
SayHey: Hello SD Fan, have we met?
JackGonzo: but let's start today off with not the obvious topic...has Barack Obama all but ensured himself the nerd/dork vote with the following?....Barak Obama at tonight's archdiocese dinner in NY: "Contrary to rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger, I was born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the Planet Earth."
PhillyFan: Yea I am sorry I know what that is.
9:56 AM SayHey: He earned my vote with that one
MrSanDiego: The clips from that are great
SayHey: I agree, those clips were great
MrSanDiego: although I really do think McCain is letting Joe the Plumber dictate his entire strategy
SayHey: And McCant earned a tad sliver of respect by going on Letterman
And taking the punishment like a man
9:57 AM MrSanDiego: Oh but letterman went after him
SayHey: He sure did
MrSanDiego: G Gordon Libby
Liddy?
anyways
JackGonzo: What else was he gonna do? Act like the rest of his campaign and pretend it wasn't gonna happen?
9:58 AM MrSanDiego: So honestly I think the republs pulling out of key states to protect their own
is pretty telling
JackGonzo: pretty much
SayHey: Yep, Reps pulled out of VA months ago, leaving Gilmore to fend for hismelf
MrSanDiego: They are throwing in the towel at this point for a little self respect
SayHey: Isnt abandoning party members a Demo thing tho?
JackGonzo: hoping to hell the democrats hang themselves
9:59 AM MrSanDiego: I look forward to more government spending
JackGonzo: of course this strategy could be really fucked if in the next four years the democrats shine
MrSanDiego: means more jobs here in the recession proof NoVa
Yeah
SayHey: Yep
MrSanDiego: I was talking to a Republican last night
10:00 AM they are jsut going to wait four years for Mittens to run again
JackGonzo: PhillyFan, is MrMan going to just stay on Easter Island after this election?
10:01 AM PhillyFan: haha
actually he is in KY
MrSanDiego: same difference
PhillyFan: Although who knows what the plan is :)
10:02 AM JackGonzo: I think I know, or I should say I strongly advise following the C&B plan
10:03 AM oh, and for the record, for all you Caps, Rangers, Flyers, and other Eastern Conference fans out there...Martin Brodeur recorded shoutout number 97 last night
Dews: On board now, sorry about that
MrSanDiego: I hate him, damn Devils
but respect
10:04 AM JackGonzo: all right, topic number 2, does anyone actually think the outcome of last night's game will change the series?
MrSanDiego: Nope but it was interesting to watch
Dews: certainly possible, but I still like the Rays
MrSanDiego: maybe a little lose is good for the Rays
gets them to focus
The only have to win 1 of 2
Soxs must win out
10:05 AM JackGonzo: So no one, cept maybe Dewey, thinks Big papi found his stroke finally?
10:06 AM PhillyFan: It broke their confidence
Enter Phillies
Pow pow pow
Dews: wow
there's PhillyFan
PhillyFan: World Seris hamps = phillies
MrSanDiego: hahaha
10:07 AM PhillyFan: champs
haha...
MrSanDiego: delusional as usual
JackGonzo: well get to topic number three (PhillyFan's sanity or lack there of) in a second
Dews: Crack?
MrSanDiego: If Phillies win it is in seven
Dews: someone say Crack?
JackGonzo: Do the Saux bring out Lester next? Hope Beckett is healthy enough to start?
PhillyFan: When phillies win!
10:08 AM brb
Dews: I think they may take a chance with beckett
he has the best track record
MrSanDiego: The game last night exposed Tampas weakness
their bullpen is still lacking a shutdown closer
Their middle releif sucked
10:09 AM Wheeler jsut gave up too much
Dews: which is unfortunate, because those guys have pitched phenominally all year
SayHey: Eh, it was a bad day
MrSanDiego: as a group they have
but who in that bullpen can you say is a dominant closer?
JackGonzo: I'm gonna agree with SayHey a bit, it was a bad day and the Saux were fighting for their lives
10:10 AM MrSanDiego: They are jsut a K Rod away from being a nightmare for the league
SayHey: Yeh, the Saux know how to play when they are behind
Dews: I mean, what are the odds that Balfour and Wheeler both implode like that?
JackGonzo: they're not shutdown, but at least a band aid
Dews: there is no such thing as a "shutdown" closer in the playoffs
even "sure" bets fail
historically thats always been true
JackGonzo: there was...once...fuckin gibson
MrSanDiego: they are both not good enough to close elsewhere
Dews: I wasn't gonna say it Jack :)
SayHey: well, unless your name is rivera
Dews: no
Gonzalez?
10:11 AM they've all failed
at some point
MrSanDiego: anyways
that is where the Rays are weakest
in my opinion
SayHey: I have to agree SD
JackGonzo: the only reason eck walked davis was gibson was actually hiding in the dugout and they another player on deck
MrSanDiego: They couldn't protect a 7 run lead in the 7th inning
seriously
JackGonzo: they don't walk him...
Dews: oh def agree, just think that its not THAT bad, just horrible night last night
10:12 AM SayHey: Yeh
Agree
MrSanDiego: Kazmir pitched lights out though
Dews: yea, glad that Tampa was at least able to stick it to the Herald a bit for hat
JackGonzo: SayHey dodged a bullet last night, while BYU wasn't as lucky....this weekend's college football thoughts?
Dews: er that
SayHey: shame i missed the game
10:13 AM Noles were on last night
Dews: Caps came back to win a late one too
MrSanDiego: yeah, NC St looked good in the first half
Dews: (any room for hockey?)
SayHey: And BYU lost..... woooo
Dews: hehe
SayHey: Yeh, but they failed big in the 2nd
MrSanDiego: shocked about BYU
so much for them
SayHey: Ponder proves to me once again that he is a great college QB
Or will be great
MrSanDiego: Yeah, even though they beat NC St.
10:14 AM FSU is not a powerhouse this year
JackGonzo: TCU was no pushover either though, 7-1 with their only loss to OU
MrSanDiego: they might get into a bowl game
SayHey: NC always kicks out asses.........to beat them on the road was huge
MrSanDiego: TCU is pretty decent year to year
JackGonzo: course I won't mention what TCU did on Oct 4th
10:15 AM SayHey: lol
mention it, mention it!
JackGonzo: Does Boise St succumb to surprise and lose to Hawaii tonight?
SayHey: I dont see it
10:16 AM JackGonzo: alright, prediction time
Vanderbilt @ Georgia
SayHey: GA
Dews: guys, you are missing the best thing that will be out tonight... The premiere of "W" by Oliver Stone!
MrSanDiego: GA
SayHey: Cant wait to see that
JackGonzo: stupid monkey
MrSanDiego: I am going to have to go catch the early show
10:17 AM back on track

MrSanDiego: I have to root against Vandy

JackGonzo: Wake @ Maryland
Dews: yea, I'm not a fan of the school in general
SayHey: Maryland!!!
MrSanDiego: the MrMan will say they have the best cheerleaders in the SEC
10:18 AM oh
Wake

JackGonzo: I think Wake as well, but we never know which Terrapin team will show up week to week
SayHey: If wake loses, FSU takes the top spot
MrSanDiego: funny I don't have any Maryland friends
JackGonzo: Pitt @ Navy

JackGonzo: Michigan @ Penn State...over under on the N.L reaching 70 points
SayHey: I would actually have that game as a push
10:23 AM MrSanDiego: Penn St
SayHey: Hmmmmm @ Penn? Penn St
MrSanDiego: I have a feeling this is their year
interestingly this is Joe Pa's last year on his contract
JackGonzo: Not if the two teams above them don't lose
Dews: yea, this gets Joe Pa a ten year extension
JackGonzo: Kansas @ Oklahoma
10:24 AM SayHey: Oklahoma
MrSanDiego: Okla
rumor is the university pres does not want to give Joe Pa a n extension
JackGonzo: of course they don't, they will "heavily suggest" he retire
MrSanDiego: Joe Pa is pushing that his son succeed him
10:25 AM JackGonzo: I know I should pick OU, but I got this gut feeling that Kansas could sneak away with a win
SayHey: I just dont see it
JackGonzo: Ole Mss @ Alabama
MrSanDiego: Bama
SayHey: Ole Miss!

10:41 AM MrSanDiego: Romo is starting
SayHey: I have Long tearing off Romos thumb and mounting it on his wall

SayHey: Yeh, but that Oline isnt
and niether is your boy, Addai
Dews: it doesn't matter who is running the ball in Indy if Peyton is health

10:44 AM Jets @ Raidas
PhillyFan: Jets
SayHey: J-E-T-S

SayHey: I am predicting another fired coach in Oakland tho

JackGonzo: It should be interesting next April, Seattle almost never keeps their first round pick...what do they do when they have a top five pick?
SayHey: No charlie frye sunday
easy, draft a RB
10:50 AM JackGonzo: Jones has been their only offense, they need a WR more then a RB
SayHey: I disagree
Burelson when healthy, is a great WR
JackGonzo: they've lost more WRs this year then smoking has caused cancer
SayHey: lol
Dews: hes never pulled it together though SayHey
JackGonzo: In the XFL
SayHey: true
Dews: he's got the tools, and siz
10:51 AM SayHey: Question is, when do the Hawks start looking for a new QB?
JackGonzo: this draft as well
PhillyFan: perhaps
SayHey: Hawks havent drafted a QB since Rick Myer, which leads me to believe they will hit the FA market
JackGonzo: or they'll wait for the Huskie kid
SayHey: Well, a 1st round QB
10:52 AM JackGonzo: last game Broncos @ Patriots
Dews: Pats
SayHey: Broncos
PhillyFan: Patriots
SayHey: Eddie Royal is healthy, giving Cutler 3 targets
MrSanDiego: Pats at home
JackGonzo: Rodney Harrison goes back into Charger mode and kills some horses
MrSanDiego: Broncos defense can not stop even Cassel
Dews: yea, I'll take backup USC man, over starter Vandy man
10:53 AM SayHey: Thats just not nice
DOnt give Cassel hope!
Im waiting for Cassel to get hurt
Id like to see what Rodriguez can do
JackGonzo: I'm gonna agree, USC Backup over Commodore 64
SayHey: Was a solid WAC QB
Dews: haha
10:54 AM JackGonzo: Though I do agree with Cutler, Elway is garbage
SayHey: Hater
JackGonzo: It's way beyond Hate
SayHey: But Niner fan has to agree
Complete loathe?
10:55 AM JackGonzo: wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire until there were only ashes
Dews: wow

SayHey: Well to be fair, im sure the city of Baltimore would feel the same way
JackGonzo: fuck the city of baltimore
Dews: about Jeffrey Maiar?
SayHey: Battlefield Earth kind of hatred
JackGonzo: that was the only smart thing he ever did
10:56 AM no one in their right mind would want to live and play in baltimore
SayHey: Cal Ripken Jr?
JackGonzo: obviously not in right mind
Dews: er
JackGonzo: never took a day off
MrSanDiego: This is what goes on in Denver
SayHey: LOL
10:57 AM MrSanDiego: there is your show Eric

JackGonzo: we've reached donkey sex which tells us we're out of time
Dews: doh
10:58 AM JackGonzo: join us next week as I scalp Dews just like the paramedics scrap Campbell off of FedEx after the 747 Spalsh from Shaun Rogers
Dews: what can Brown do for you?
