Alright, who’s going to be the first to link to the article on Deadspin…

salome gets credit for being first … she e-mailed it to me this morning.
We don’t post salacious pics of women here, so it’s not really appropriate to post them of men.
Go check the deadspin homepage if you want. NSFW.
Well … that certainly generated a vigorous discussion.
Not even the ladies want to weigh in on this, apparently.
I’m having trouble with it because there’s almost no argument that Sizemore isn’t some kind of tool. But then, it got him a Playmate.
On the other hand I’m glad to see Sal Fasano’s leadership lasted.

Grady is taking legal action against Deadspin. He claims the pictures were stolen from his girlfriend’s email.

“I have not seen the pictures,” said GM Mark Shapiro, “but I will look into it.”
Umm, Mark, probably could have chosen your words a little more carefully.

If he intends to talk about this with Grady over a cup of coffee, I would suggest bringing his own mug.

Yeah, but he’s our tool. Whatevs. I find it endearing and pretty hilarious.

I basically agree, though I wouldn’t go as far as “endearing.”
I will say that athletes often get a bad rap for indulging in a bit of physical self-admiring. They have outstanding bodies, why would they not admire them? Sure, it’s vanity, but they’re only human after all.
I know more than few people here are guilty of admiring their own minds.
Well, endearing in the sense of “oh, that’s our Grady, what a player” rather than “oh jesus, that’s our Grady, always drunkenly beating the crap out of a paper towel dispenser at Sheetz at 3am.”

I understand this could be interpreted as a joke attempt, but it wasn’t. Just an agreement.

Fixed.

Based on your reaction in the PD thread and this, I’m forming the opinion that you are not in fact an old man. You are instead a time traveler from Victorian times.

I think the delicate ivory snuff box was a dead give away.

Which of course is why I am on this strange contraption talking on this other strange contraption called the “internet.”
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
It’s even worse when you’re reading it in school while your students are taking a test.

Who’s going to be laughing when I receive my large inheritance? Me all the way to the bank. Ha.

Clemsongirl found out at age 19 that, despite growing up in a poor house and working several difficult servant jobs that she is actually of noble birth, which accounts for her dignified manner and sense of justice. She is set to receive a large inheritance.

Clemsongirl invites prominent mathematicians, artists and clerics over to her parlor for Sunday harpsichord recitals and philosophical debates. Her husband is a self-made factory owner with textile mills in Manchester and Bombay.

I like his avatar. Although ginormous douche was the better choice in my opinion.

I still am confused by everyone’s lack of support for Michael Bolton.
Chugga-chugga chugga-chugga, Choo Choo!
One has Jessica Alba. The other has a woman who thinks she wears Jessica Alba’s size.
Wait 'til next millennium!
Okay, approaching that line we don’t cross here.
But, you know, point taken.
