The Bengals passed on drafting Aaron Hernandez because of concerns about his off-field shenanigans. Eye. Rone. Eee. Annnnnnnnnd...the Bengals enter the equation. http://cincinnati.com/blogs/sports/2013/07/03/bengals-reggie-nelson-named-in-espns-report-about-07-aaron-hernandez-allegation/" oncl...

After personally seeing the "unrest" in Turkey, which was nonexistant, I don't really put much stock in what our news media says about Egypt. Yeah, it's probably fucked up, but I'd still go there (gf's parents are from Egypt and she wants to go see it...however, everybody in her family is...

Maybe they lured Iguodola there by fooling him that Howard is a star player...

The Heat was pretty damn funny. Melissa McCarthy is on comedy fire right now.

I see I am on "ignore". Noted.

As to the comments that this would get more attention if a different team were involved, I'm not sure I agree. This has been a massive story here in Boston, and the local media has been reporting a lot of rumors that make Hernandez look really bad. Sounds like he will be very lucky to get the Ray L...

Yup, Lowe is awesome.

Ray Lewis nods in approval at destroying evidence.

Next step...Jesus!

How so?

If nothing else, a lot of wise cracks from us. Everybody loves a good Bengal gone bad story.

Hell, that didn't stop sc from making that reference anyway...

This thing really does seem to parallel the Lewis murder dealie.

Love the midfield so much more with Bradley/Cameron because Cameron defers more to Bradley and works off of him, which is a win for the US.

Don't like the Jones/Bradley combo because Jones thinks he's the man and Bradley defers. And Jones ain't the man.

Pretty sure it moves more to page 1. Bengals out of control etc. narrative. That's how.

Pats org gets a slight pass here, less jumping to conclusions.

Have a year Chris Davis. Gracious.

.337/.413/.720/1.132

26 homers and 66 RBI 51 Runs

No stolen bases though.

Jeebus.

Regarding the unfolding murder investigation dealie, Aaron Hernandez needs to find Jesus and Ray Lewis asap, not necessarily in that order.

This gets covered a LOT differently if its a Bengals player involved.

I finally caught up on "Silver Linings Playbook" last night. (Yeah, I know...way to be current). I was pretty much "meh" on it. It was ok, I thought, but not amazing or anything. And Jennifer Lawrence...ok, she's really attractive...and she can act...but she looked like she was ...

I like to imagine AB running around Lexington giving hi-5s to strangers when Mickelson comes up short like he did again yesterday.

Saw "This Is The End" last night. Pretty hysterical. Draggy every now and then but definitely worth checking out. Saw it in a sweet new theater in downtown STL that has computer devices in the seats for ordering food and beers and whatnot. So much goodness in This is the End. Very quotabl...

That was a rather comforting borderline dominant performance from the US. Quality goals, good idea defensively, nice possession through the midfield to yield opportunities. Klinsmen!

Note to self:

Check in on all Grienke pitched games until further notice.

Spurs are just that good. Hoping for the sweep (in part so people will stop acting like the Grizz sucked for getting swept...taking that Spurs team to two OT games and another close loss isn't something to be ashamed of...)

Well done to the prodcuers. As a book reader, they handled that pretty damn well.

They sure missed Michael Bradley. Really not-great center mid play start to finish.

Saw Star Trek 2 in glorious 3D, and it was decent. 7 degens out of 10. I took away 2 for ridiculous plot holes , and 1 for cheeziness.

That's a great postgame quote by Gasol.

Awesome. I also love that people are nationally getting to know this team. A great collection of really fun personalities.

I think Dan Patrick shares some blame.
