Furlough Day Five: Thursday

I am on a mandated and unpaid furlough as required by the Advertiser's parent company, Gannett. As such, I am not permitted to participate in blog-related activities for one week.

So we have these pre-loaded entries. That's all.

It's up to you to keep the HABOTN fresh until I return on Sunday, Feb. 21.

Have a nice day.

ps: I'll be watching Gretchen Bleiler win the gold in women's half-pipe tonight if you want to enjoy vicariously.

Seanzie said...: Double McTwist 1260! Has this been discussed today?; 2:08 PM
Jet said...: On 10 posts allowed in this Express Thread.

Eddie says so.; 2:08 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "I had no choice Seanzie!"; 2:09 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: oops, i was post #11. i bet Eddie just went off on me.; 2:10 PM
michael said...: Double McTwist 1260 wasn't all that impressive in my opinion.; 2:10 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: McTwist, do they serve fries with that?; 2:10 PM
digger4au said...: Eddie said he didn't care if you had two huge honeydew melons you don't get in the 10 item line with more than 10 items.; 2:12 PM
Seanzie said...: Any math majors want to calculate that 1260? I can't get that high in my head.

Michael, I'm impressed you found it unimpressive.; 2:17 PM
Seanzie said...: I'm a big fan of honeydew melons.; 2:17 PM
ehyou said...: I just googled Gretchen Bleiler. Overall pretty good experience.; 2:18 PM
Anonymous said...: How about when someone in the self-checkout line doesn't have the funds to pay for the items scanned ...that's a cluster right 'dere.; 2:19 PM
Jet said...: What hacks me off is that most of the stores in the Gump turn the self-checkouts off after 7.; 2:24 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: speaking of honeydew, i was introduced to the redhead from the show 'Mad Men' on SI.com yesterday. she's most impressive.; 2:27 PM
Jet said...: Scottie ...

She's ... awesome.; 2:29 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i've heard that show was good but have never watched it. i may now. she is stunning for sure.; 2:31 PM
Seanzie said...: I got the SI hardcopy in the mail. I've always been a fan of Brooklyn Decker but this made it official.

Andy Roddick is a lucky SOB.; 2:33 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: truer words have never been spoken/typed on this blog Seanzie.; 2:35 PM
Norm said...: MJT/Boxhead/Thigh Master/Queen/...I can't remember all of your titles - While I've never been duck hunting (I've done plenty of deer hunting) before, I have killed a duck. It was #17 at a particular golf course in the gump way back when.; 2:39 PM
Ari Gold said...: Not a bad qualification run for Gretchen.; 2:40 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Hey, Ari, do you know how Jay G is enjoying (or not) his mandated furlough?; 2:44 PM
Jet said...: Hey, somebody musta stepped on a duck.; 2:51 PM
Jet said...: So, who's gonna watch the Auburn-Florida game tonight ... also known as the ... get ready ... this is bad ... are you sure you're ready ... nah, you'll have to have to ask your grandparents ...

The Primadonna Reed Show.; 2:53 PM
coosa said...: Its a shame that they won't even let Jay G. post on his on blog. I wonder if the newspaper will still own the blog when he goes to espn?; 2:53 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Jet, we'll start watching it, but if it turns ugly, we will probably switch to the Olympics.; 2:54 PM
Jet said...: I understand uber agent Ari Gold is in deep negotiations on Jay G's behalf.; 2:55 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i was planning on watching but i've got to work at the gym tonite. i may sneak in a few minutes there.; 2:55 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Donna Reed probably baked a better pie, but she's got nothing on DeWayne's turnovers.; 2:56 PM
Jet said...: Truth be told, a lot of my Olympic watching is based on the hope that some Russian will tumble down a hill in a heap. No serious injuries, mind you.

It's not unlike watching AU basketball to see what Reed does next.; 2:57 PM
Jet said...: There you go, Count Chocula.; 2:57 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: I literally LOL'ed at that, Scott Choco! Did you come up with that all by yourself?; 2:58 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Luv, depends on whether you count looking up how to spell "DeWayne".; 3:01 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: LOL; 3:03 PM
Unknown said...: We really should teach police officers gun safety.; 3:04 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: Total change of subject...

Jet, whatever happened with your sleep study? I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia when I had mine in August.; 3:04 PM
Jet said...: Luv ...

I was determined to be borderline. The doctor said if I'd do something about my weight, it would resolve itself.

So since Christmas, I've put on 10 pounds.; 3:11 PM
michael said...: Well... that is doing something, Jet.; 3:12 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: nice work Jet!; 3:19 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: I hear ya, Jet!; 3:19 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: ...and in skiing news...just kidding Eddie and E-Bro. Hotties will have to look it up for themselves today. I'm not gonna play spoiler two days in a row.; 3:21 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: why SC, did Vonn win again?; 3:22 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'll tell you for a cold Colt 45.; 3:28 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: bummer. fresh out. :(; 3:30 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Probably best not to drink those when you're holding a blaster anyway.; 3:34 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: BLASTER?

"No, wait! I thought you were blind!"

"Up a little higher! Just a little higher!"; 3:38 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Local connection to event JGT is probably watching right now:

Teter; 3:45 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: JGT is all about that!; 3:54 PM
LuvAU1968 said...: At least he has something to occupy his time during his furlough!; 3:57 PM
michael said...: Vonn was eaten by a alligator. Sorry to spoil it for everyone, but I thought you should know.; 4:09 PM
ehyou said...: The BC gator problem is well documented, so I don't feel sorry for her.; 4:11 PM
Unknown said...: Curling is on!!! Man, life doesn't get much better than this!!!; 4:12 PM
michael said...: Nope. She knew the dangers going in. Officials are considering putting a fence around the gator pond portion of the event, but I think this is an unnecessary knee jerk reaction just to make it look like they are doing something.; 4:13 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: bummer. was it one of those crazy mutant Canadian gators or a misplaced Gainesville one?; 4:14 PM
michael said...: It's funny how they turned paper football into an olympic sport that involved brooms.; 4:14 PM
Unknown said...: Ummm, am I the only one that considers women curling sexy?; 4:15 PM
michael said...: scottie, do I look like a gatorologist? I don't know, mane. Google it. Alls I know is the gator had big mean teeth.; 4:15 PM
michael said...: SteveFC, you are just old fashioned and like to see a woman with a broom in her hand.

Oh yeah!; 4:15 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: has Clair Bidez competed yet? i may watch that.

my bad michaela. i thought you were an expert on all living things. i'll google.; 4:17 PM
Unknown said...: Michael, you may have a point.; 4:17 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: a very good point.; 4:18 PM
michael said...: Now see, it's times like this I miss Monica telling me to behave.

I also miss Kristina. O where have all the old school HABOTN chicks gone?; 4:21 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Kristina must be a busy gal these days. i'm sure she misses you deeply, though.

Monnie, well, she's still living the mountaineer state life.; 4:23 PM
michael said...: We need to have an intervention with Kristina. She hasn't been on here since pre-Christmas. She started the Hotties facebook group for goodness sakes!; 4:26 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i know, it just doesn't seem right.; 4:27 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Scottie B., I don't think Clair Bidez is on the Olympic team.; 4:28 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: oh, ok SC. she was in the swimsuit issue so i just assumed.; 4:32 PM
Unknown said...: No, your not drunk. It's a zebra.; 4:50 PM
J. Kev said...: Breaking news, HOTTIES:

We will Hate with Jay G. tomorrow morning at 9:05 central time.

Wakeriderof87 said...: How do you know I'm not drunk Steve? For all you know I am drunk AND its a zebra.; 5:15 PM
CHB said...: Reed already turning it over.; 6:12 PM
Unknown said...: MSU has extended Mullens contract to four years. Under state law, that is the longest the contract can be. If they were smart, they would have kicked in a raise. MSU was improved last season and I expect them to be better this season.; 6:18 PM
Jet said...: One thing about AU hoops, we have an innate ability to drag teams down with us for long stretches.; 6:45 PM
stupup74 said...: Maybe Auburn ca build up a big lead in the 2nd half today.; 6:47 PM
stupup74 said...: Or not; 6:48 PM
Jet said...: I am somehow reminded of the old SNL skit with Dana Carvey as Ross Perot and Phil Hartman as Adm. James Stockdale.

PEROT: "You know when you stood there silent during the debate and didn't say anything for an hour?"

STOCKDALE: "Yeah."

PEROT: "Sheer brilliance."

Modern version.

LEBO: "Dewayne, you know just before halftime when you stood at midcourt and dribbled away the shot clock because you were looking at the game clock?"

REED: "Yeah, coach."

LEBO: "Sheer brilliance."; 6:51 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Did Reed just now do that or are you talking about another time that I seem to remember him doing the same thing? I am not watching, but about to get in my car and listen.; 7:03 PM
Jet said...: He got the unguarded 10 second violation vs. UK when the game was on the line. Just before the half with a 3 second differential, he dribbled the ball and moved it too late for us to get a shot.; 7:07 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Fantastic. I probably shouldn't even listen to it, but off I go to do so. Have a great evening!; 7:13 PM
Norm said...: 'Sup homies?; 7:23 PM
Fearless Freep said...: NORM!; 7:31 PM
Jet said...: Norm.; 7:34 PM
Norm said...: I see Jet is up to his usual voodoo with AU roundball.; 7:38 PM
FSJ said...: Piece.; 7:38 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Yo, Faker, wot up.; 7:41 PM
Jet said...: I may be the only person watching the game.; 7:42 PM
FSJ said...: One other thing....Congrats jhag on the Auburn acceptance...

Now...spurn that offer and come to UA instead.

:-); 7:44 PM
FSJ said...: Whats the score Jet?; 7:44 PM
FSJ said...: What up Freep?; 7:44 PM
wtc said...: AU has got to be one of the worse shooting 3 pt teams in the nation. We run NO OFFENSE. Everyone but Knox stays outside the arc. Might as well put him out there 'cause he will not get many rebounds anyway.; 7:45 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Doing the PBS thang, FSJ.

Thursday's usually my slow night.; 7:46 PM
wtc said...: How does he miss that shot?; 7:48 PM
Norm said...: No, you're not the only one Jet. I'm watching it and I don't give a rip about basketball. So, I have the game on and am working on a large project plan.; 7:49 PM
wtc said...: 68-61 UF with 3:50 to go.; 7:50 PM
wtc said...: 2 UF guys up near half court and AU shoots a flippin 3.; 7:51 PM
wtc said...: Maybe Reed will foul out.; 7:51 PM
Norm said...: wtc - I can attest that taking a medically mandated 5 months off from running is not far removed from starting from scratch when you resume. Which stinks.; 7:51 PM
wtc said...: I may go to the last game at Beard Eaves but that is it. Maybe take a seat with me as we tear that hole down.; 7:52 PM
wtc said...: Norm-I took about 1.5 months off and you would thought I never ran before. It took me about 3 weeks to get back into the groove. most times I did not even want to run, but I pushed through it and now am back to about 30 miles per week.; 7:54 PM
wtc said...: AU need to score and these idiots stand around and watch each other and burn 30 seconds off the clock. They can't graduate quick enough for me.; 7:56 PM
wtc said...: Why foul a guy that early that is 13-14 from the line.; 7:59 PM
Jet said...: Down 6 with 55 seconds to go.; 8:00 PM
Norm said...: I'll have to push through it to get ready for the ING in about a month.; 8:00 PM
wtc said...: Watching AU play is like watching Shark Week where they are attacking baby seals.; 8:01 PM
Fearless Freep said...: This is why I don't want Lebo around after this season.

I understand he's a great guy, and he absolutely doesn't cheat, and he's the lowest paid HC in the league.

I just think we could find someone who matches all of the above criteria who could at least teach his kids to keep their heads in the game. This bunch frequently acts like they've never been coached before.; 8:01 PM
wtc said...: Norm-I am going to do some laps on the boat (maybe); 8:02 PM
wtc said...: Depressing news today. I had lunch with an economist. Says AL will not come out of the recession until mid 2012.; 8:03 PM
Jet said...: It's a 4 point game on the road in the SEC ... and you never had a feeling that we had a real chance to win.; 8:03 PM
Fearless Freep said...: wtc, so you're saying you had lunch with an optimist?; 8:04 PM
Jet said...: You stop the team from scoring a basket for the last 8 and half minutes ... and you lose.

That's horrible offensive basketball.; 8:06 PM
wtc said...: Freep-I asked them to take the knife away from the table just as he started talking.; 8:06 PM
wtc said...: Jet-Lack of coaching or lack of players that have no clue as to what they should be doing?; 8:07 PM
wtc said...: I said the other day. I don't think, outside of Sullivan (at times) that could play for any other team in this state and start for them.

Troy, USA, UAt, UAB.; 8:08 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I was going to try to watch the Auburn game, but I decided that going to buy a new alarm clock would be more exciting, and less depressing.; 8:09 PM
wtc said...: Norm-I ran 9 Wednesday afternoon in 1:21. We are doing 10 Saturday and maybe 13 next Saturday. I don;t think I can do another full. Just doesn't interest me anymore; 8:10 PM
wtc said...: I should have spent my time rearranging my stereo wires.; 8:10 PM
wtc said...: AU should make this bball team take their own vehicles on road trips and pay their own way.; 8:11 PM
Jet said...: WTC ...

I don't think Lebo is a bad coach of the game, despite the opinion of many here. I think he was a horrible fit for Auburn, and I think he's lost this team.; 8:11 PM
stupup74 said...: Jeff Lebo knows the game of basketball. He just happens to be the laziest coach I have ever seen.

At the end of the first half, he should have took a timeout to set up a play. You lose that bonus timeout whether you use it or not.

He did not call timeout until there was less than a minute left. He had 3 timeouts, but let Sullivan and Reed foul out when he could have called TO and set up O for D.

I know we only pay so much, but he is just lazy. He looks like he wants to leave. As far as I am concerned he can hit the road when we hire the rifleman.; 8:15 PM
Norm said...: wtc - I'd originally signed up for the full before the surgery, but since I'm just now able to start running again I changed my registration to the half. So, another half it is.; 8:15 PM
wtc said...: He has been a bad fit, I agree. he will probably be gone after another season. he will get hired by a school where he doesn't have to sell the program and will probably wind up winning. Meanwhile Au will hire some unknown and be last or next to last in the SEC for the next 5 years. I say that and I am not being negative.; 8:16 PM
Fearless Freep said...: See, Jet, that's where I disagree.

In my opinion, a 'good' coach would NEVER lose his team.

If the players aren't listening to him, he can bench every last one of them. Hold open tryouts and put a bunch of frat boys out there and lose by 40 every game.

That would be preferable to what appears to be happening now.; 8:16 PM
Norm said...: So, I know how to slalom water ski and I'm not too bad at it. Is it essentially the same principle for snow boarding? I wouldn't think about trying to do this halfpipe stuff but I just wonder if I'd be able to put on a snowboard and not kill or make a fool of myself the first time out.; 8:21 PM
Jet said...: Here's another problem.

It's a team full of 2s and 3s, yet none has consistent ability to create his own shot. No point guard, and Knox isn't much in the post.

Somebody pointed this out on Bill Cameron's show the other day, and I think it's true:

Auburn invariably gets stuck in the half court. Reed is the one stuck with the ball at the top 10 with seconds to go and he has no faith in Knox inside to make a play in the final seconds of the shot clock. One out of every five times he makes a play. It's partly his fault, but it's partly others' fault.

What strikes me is our in ability to work in half court against the zone. We just pass station to station around the outside. No one gets to the soft spot at the foul line (go watch Marquis Daniels vs. Syracuse), and we don't skip pass well.

If you're playing Auburn, press only to slow them down to get to half court, but not to force turnovers. Odds are you'll stop them 67 percent of the time in the half court.; 8:22 PM
Jet said...: Freep, we're talking about different things.

You're talking psychology, and motivation. I'm speaking only to the schemes. We play good defense. Lebo has a good feel when to change the look and the tempo.

I'll disagree with your original. Plenty of good coaches lose teams. In our ADD world, it happens frequently.; 8:24 PM
Jet said...: Norm ...

For you, I'd recommend the hash pipe before I'd recommend the half pipe.; 8:25 PM
Norm said...: Well, since one is illegal and the other may be borderline insanity, I'll just avoid both of them. Shouldn't be too hard for me to do that.; 8:31 PM
CHB said...: Although Auburn sucks I saw a little that I liked. Lebo finally got fired up and showed some emotion. I also like that he played a lot of the younger guys. I don't know if he did it to send a message to the others or if it was to build them for next year. Either way I liked it.; 8:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: so much for Gretchen.; 8:40 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: American women are bitin' the pipe tonight.; 8:43 PM
Jet said...: Swiss take Canada to OT in hockey. If the Cheeseheads win, Canada will implode.; 8:45 PM
Jet said...: Canada and Switzerland are heading to shootout.; 8:52 PM
Quitstina said...: Hey Hotties,

No, I am not dead. Just have a lot going on at the zoo that is detaining me from the habotn.

I want a new basketball coach.

And because I need some extra cash...Michela is joking x 300.; 8:53 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Canada brings a gatling gun, Switzerland brings a pop gun.; 8:53 PM
Norm said...: Who is that who just appeared before my eyes?; 8:55 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: KRISTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello!!! Tell Earl we said Hi!; 8:56 PM
Jet said...: Kristina, as I understand, now empathizes with her captors, and wishes to be known as Tanya. She will soon participate in a bank robbery to fund the revolution.; 8:58 PM
Norm said...: But is she still an heiress?; 9:00 PM
Jet said...: Canada wins in the shootout ... Broduer stopped all four ... the Swiss goalie stopped Crosby once, but not the second time.; 9:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: 87 is part of 2.0's email address, in honor of Sid the Kid.; 9:02 PM
CHB said...: Anyone seen some of the rumors starting to gain steam regarding $aban and his use of the Pacific Institute? I saw a post on another blog and this stuff looks fishy. It is basically brainwashing and from what I am hear it's mandatory for all walmartians to participate.; 9:02 PM
Quitstina said...: Vive la SLA!; 9:02 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Norm, snowboarding and slalom skiing are not very similar.; 9:06 PM
Norm said...: Well then, I guess I won't try it. I'll erase that from my list of things to do.; 9:11 PM
mytommyd said...: Hotties, you all are fantastic!!; 9:11 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Haha, doesn't mean you couldn't do it and have fun. Its just different from slalom skiing.; 9:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Kristina & jet - y'all are such youngsters, y'all must have learned about that in history class.; 9:15 PM
Norm said...: THT - Zookeeper may have learned about it in history, but Jet and I are essentially the same age and I definitely remember it.

Wake - if I ever make it to somewhere where there's snow skiing going on, I may just give it a try. But, neither my Hot Wife or I have felt terribly compelled to go snow skiing so we'll see if that happens.; 9:18 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: You and said hot wife should definitely go Norm. It is about the only reason I will ever willingly go somewhere it is cold enough to snow.

Snow skiing and Snowboarding are both a ton of fun.; 9:22 PM
Norm said...: Alright chilluns, bedtime for Bonzo.; 9:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I don't watch sissy skating. And women's hockey would be ok if they weren't showing two teams who have been outscored by a combined 32-3 in their prior games.

Thank goodness SNG is on syfy; 9:28 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I'm late to the party but I'll weigh in on Lebo's team. Jet is right in that they have no big men of consequence, and no point guard. No point guard in bball is like no QB in football.

We aren't quick
Can't dribble drive
Can't play one on one
Can't defend one on one.
Below Average rebounding team.
I don't agree Jet that we know how to play defense. Average at best.
We can't shoot.
Can't shoot free throws.

In short, AU has NO IDENTITY. We have no phase of the game in which we are exceptional. To be successful, you have to have at least one phase of the game you can count on. AU has none.; 9:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Norm, Molly dog agrees. She just finished her ice cream and is heading to bed. I've still got a bit of work to do.; 9:37 PM
Spongeworthy said...: AU's issues always come back around to recruiting.

Do you recruit a big team to pound it inside, get the other team in foul trouble, shoot free throws, run half court offense.

Do you recruit a run and gun team that plays pressure defense, presses full court, primarily fast break offense.

Do you recruit to a fundamentally sound basketball approach w/ a complicated half court offense like the Princeton offense. Great shooters?

Lebo has recruited to no particular style of play. At least not well enough to run that style.; 9:39 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Anyway, that's my opinion and I'm sticking with it. Regardless of if there is no one left here to see it, or care. Lebo, not the most interesting bball coach in the world. His motto, stay thirsty for wins my friends.; 9:43 PM
Unknown said...: We really need a new basketball coach with a cool name or nickname. I favor Dabo, but he coaches football. Sonny was great. A snappy name or nickname will bring the players.; 10:20 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: Such sad news the Vanderbilt 4 star RB recruiting getting shot to death today...first ever 4 star there and he is shot and killed sad stuff; 10:49 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: lets go Johnny Queer!; 10:51 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: TGIF EST!!! Let's get some early Friday sleep.

Sweet dreams, Hotties.; 11:00 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Seeing how gay the American Gold Medal winning figure skater looked, makes me wish that was one event we didn't win.

Seriously, I get its not the most masculine sport, but what was up with his get up.; 11:24 PM
Statguy said...: I liked Johnny Weir's statement that he's a world class Olympic athlete, but sometimes people forget that because of his personality.; 11:30 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: If he didn't win it the gay from russia would have so it was may the best gay win; 11:46 PM
E-Bro said...: The gay guy from Russia isn't actually gay. He's married, I think...to a woman.

Homophobic much?; 12:05 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Yeah homophobic a lot...he switch hits I bet though; 12:18 AM
E-Bro said...: Ha! Ha!; 12:23 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: It's still Friday! Yippee!!!

Time to rise and shine, Hotties.

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!; 4:58 AM
CHB said...: 32 yrs ago today a wonderful young man was born. He given above average intelligence, good looks and more than enough athletic ability. He is also kind and thoughtful. He loves his family, God, animals and Auburn football. Who is the young man?

OH wait its me.

I think I left out modesty.

Happy Friday everyone.; 6:37 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Good morning, Hotties! T.G.I.F.F.!!!

E-Bro and Eddie, why didn't you call me out on my idiocy yesterday morning? I was confusing Jacobellis with Vonn. I didn't find this out until last evening. At that point, I REALLY felt like an idiot!!

Well, I didn't see much of anything last night. My IH got the best of me and I was falling asleep before 7:00.; 6:38 AM
Jet said...: THT ... Oh, I remember the SLA days.

Steve ... meet my candidate, VCU coach Shaka Smart.; 6:39 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: LOL, CH=B! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Lots of good folks born in February!; 6:39 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Happy Birthday CH!

Luv- Because you're not Steve :)!!!! Just kidding Steve.; 6:39 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Eddie, well I'm sure you could have found a polite way to inform me of my error!; 6:40 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Luv- E-Bro and myself have been raised in this manner by our Mom. "Mom is always right and the only time she was wrong was when she thought she was wrong" so we sometimes find hard to correct a Madam :).; 6:43 AM
Norm said...: Morning folks.

Happy Birthday CH-B

Call her Jacobellis, call her Vonn, call her a taxi. It won't matter to me. I still don't remember what she supposedly did in '06 or how she may have been mistreated (allegedly) by Costas.; 6:47 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: Eddie, well, yeah, I'm usually right, but in this case, I was wrong. ;-); 6:55 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: I'm sure this has been discussed, but I don't get why Tiger Woods is having a press conference today. So what if he's a public figure? He doesn't owe anyone an apology or explanation except his family.; 7:09 AM
mytommyd said...: Luv - he's doing it to get back in good graces with the sponsors that have stayed with him, and to get back the sponsors he had.

The name of the event, at least for many of the radio shows here in Atlanta, has been "renamed" to a press statement, instead of a press conference. Evidently because its going to be held like Land Kiffin's exit meeting. Except with substantially fewer reporters and cameras.; 7:16 AM
LuvAU1968 said...: He doesn't have to make a public statement. He could go to each of his sponsors in private.; 7:20 AM
Jet said...: Today is reporting that this "statement" is a part of the "rehab."

Is there a clinic that treats HABOTN addiction? I wonder the treatments would be.; 7:20 AM

LuvAU1968 said...: and that was referring to your 7:23 post.; 7:31 AM

LuvAU1968 said...: Well, all the Hotties know how I feel about big money.; 7:40 AM
