(pics from running of the brides Boston 2008)

Have I mentioned that I’m engaged yet?  (Take that Mrs. Sullivan!) Well I am.  The collective sigh you just heard across the Commonwealth are from all the chicks whose dream I just sneaky crushed.  Don’t worry ladies; I’ll still hook up with you.  I just can’t marry you.   Anyway, back to the point of this blog.  I tried to make the First Lady go do this Running of the Brides thing.   I mean does she want to save some money and move out of her parents’ house or not?    Listen, I’m not saying that she had to buy her dress there, but she owed it to me to at least try.  Worst case scenario is that she doesn’t find it and gets trampled.  Boo hoo, boo hoo.   But nooooo, she didn’t want to fight the hordes of people and risk her life to save a couple thousand dollars.    What a missed opportunity.  Seriously though doesn’t ever bride owe it to her man to at least try to find their dress at this thing? 

PS – What’s up with the dudes?  That should be totally illegal!   There should be no guys allowed at this event.   That’s like using the juice.  And what type of man would agree to do this anyway.  You either got to be poor as shit, all sorts of fucked up or pussy whipped to hell.

Double PS – Don’t bother asking me where and when I’m getting married.  I don’t want the paparazzi there.

GRAFTON, Wis. - A Grafton woman has been arrested and booked for failing to pay her library fines. Heidi Dalibor, 20, told the News Graphic in Cedarburg she ignored the library's calls and letters as well as a notice to appear in court. Still, she was surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed. Police Capt. Joe Gabrish saied officers follow the same procedure with every warrant. The incident cost Dalibor about $30 for the overdue paperbacks "White Oleander" and "Angels and Demons" and her mother nearly $172 to get her out of custody.

I know there'll be people arguing that the Grafton, Wisc. police should have better things to do than worry about some girl with overdue library books. People who think this is a joke. Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp, the one that says "Grafton Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to.

As a post script, Heidi is hot for a library-dwelling scofflaw.

From Mike Lombardi's blog: I talked to several people in the NFL yesterday who know things and they assure me that Peyton Manning’s knee is a huge concern for the Colts.  Apparently Manning had to go through another procedure on his knee to clean things out after having his bursa sac removed last month.  What is the most concerning is not the second operation (which the Colts are denying), but that they cannot control the swelling in Manning’s knee and any physical movement causes MORE swelling.  Once he returns to the game, gets hit, has to place a load on the knee, and drive the ball, there can be swelling.  All I know is that there is MUCH more here than meets the eye.  Manning has the trainer come over to HIS home for rehab and is rarely seen.  Now, I have been with some big-time quarterbacks in my career like Joe Montana and Rich Gannon and never have they rehabbed from home.  I thought this was not an issue and that Manning would be back.  However, after talking to my friends in the league, it’s clear that this is a HUGE concern short- and long-term for the Colts. 

I'll start by saying I never root for an injury to an opponent. (Except when Roger Clemens was active; then I prayed daily that he be stricken with painful boils.) I just think it's bad karma. So I'm not happy about this news, any more than I am about hearing Shawne Merriman might be finished due to ligament damage. So this post isn't about how much this could benefit the Patriots because as much fun as winning is, it's that much moreso when you get to see a pampered little child of privilege like Pay-me-a-ton making his signature bad-smell-face or chew out his teammates on the field instead of having him be on IR.

So this post isn't about Manning's injury. It's about the complete lack of outrage toward the Colts about how they're handling it. Secret knee surgeries? Denials of the same? Trainers surreptiously going to Manning's house to work with him in private? Where are all the columns questioning Bill Polian's integrity? Why aren't we hearing the Colts organization being called secretive and paranoid? Where are the comparisons to Dick Nixon or the righteous indignation about how the Colts need to start being open and honest and stop all these coverups because in the end it's really the fans who are being cheated? I suppose it will start any minute now and some media member will step up and call Barack Dungy a duplicitous, lying liar who deserves to be suspended. But I'm not holding my breath.

KXXV.com - Brian began working at KXXV in August 2008 after graduating from Ball State University in Indiana with a degree in Telecommunications.  While in college he interned at WANE in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and at WTHR in Indianapolis, Indiana. Brian currently lives in Waco and encourages residents to contact him about any story ideas.

With all due respect to KXXV Waco, how do you not put the Boom Goes the Dynamite episode in his bio?   Talk about ignoring the pink elephant in the room.   That’s like talking about Bill Buckner’s baseball career without at least mentioning game 6.    Regardless I took a blood oath many, many moons ago that whenever somebody mentioned the Boom Goes the Dynamite kid, I would post the video.   I continue to honor that pledge.

Don't be alarmed if you see this vehicle driving down Causeway Street. It's just the newest Celtic Darius Miles.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times. If you only have to wear one bathing suit when you're diving, you ain't high enough. This is how all diving should be. You miss the pool, you die. None of this pussy shit like they got in the Olympics. Dana Kunze is all man. He could probably take a red eye to Beijing tomorrow and win six Gold Medals before he gets off the plane.

PS - I knew this guy wasn't going to fuck around when I saw the zinc on his nose.

ALBANY - A married upstate assemblyman got caught with his virtual pants down - busted by XXX-rated e-mails he dashed off to a 19-year-old intern in which the besotted lawmaker admired the teen's "little cheerleader move" and longed to be her "human lollipop."  Titled "what i wish," the Democratic assemblyman's list included: ". . . that i could be painting your toenails right now . . . that i could see you do that little cheerleader move . . . that i could be your human lollipop . . . that i could take a shower in your shower with all that girly stuff." "It was even better for me," one March 2004 shorthand e-mail from Hoyt reads. "ty [thank you] for doing the bikini walk. i thought to myself as others were checking you out, she woke up next to me this morning!"  The e-mails suggest the affair began in late 2003 and fell apart in June 2004, when the intern, who is assigned to another upstate lawmaker, accused Hoyt of cheating on her. "How many girls do you have exactly???," the intern wrote. "I hate you. I knew you were lying, but I was so stupid . . . you scumbag . . . f--- off . . . leave me alone and go be with your other girlfriends."

I love the balls on this 19 year old chick standing up to this guy.   How dare Hoyt cheat on her and ruin their monogamous relationship!   Oh wait a minute, the dude is married.   Never mind.  Anyways you know why politicians always get bagged cheating on their wives?  Because 99% of them were losers growing up and never had girlfriends.  Therefore they never learned how to properly cheat on chicks. I mean everybody knows you don’t send emails and texts and crap like that.   Everything has to be face to face and paid for in cash.  But these guys are such greenhorns when it comes to getting pussy that they always dumb mistakes.    Listen I’m not saying cheating is easy, but it’s not rocket science either.  

PS – I get wanting to be a human lollipop, but what’s the infatuation with taking a shower with girly shit in the shower?   That’s just weird.

Umm, dude you just got your head smashed in so I'm pretty freaking sure you're not #1. Honestly what is up with Olympians these days? Since when does 2nd and 3rd place count as winning? I keep seeing people do shit like this. I mean it's almost like they don't even realize that they lost. Do me a favor and keep your area code to yourself and refrain from saying you're #1 until you actually win something. Is that too much to ask?

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. —  A man who calls himself "Long Island's Favorite Magician" has been accused of secretly videotaping a mother and her two young daughters as they undressed. Police say they arrested Robert Infantino at his Central Islip home on three counts of unlawful surveillance. Police say the mother and her 10- and 14-year-old daughters were at Infantino's home-office for a photo shoot and had gone to change outfits when they noticed a camera hidden in a box in the dressing room. Police could not say whether Infantino had an attorney. A message left at his home was not immediately returned early Thursday. Infantino's Web site claims that he has been a magician, juggler and performer for more than 20 years.

I don't get it.   Why the fuck was the mother and her daughters at a Magicians House/Home Office for a photo shoot? I mean did they read his website? He claims to be "Long Islands Favorite Magician" not Long Islands best photographer. I mean that’s like going to KFC to get Hamburgers.  Proceed at your own risk.   Regardless what kind of magician can't even hide the fucking dressing room camera from a mother and her kids?  Obviously not a very good one.   What’s that old expression?  Jack of all trades, Ace of none.   I think that sums up this guy pretty good.

In one of the most obvious column ideas of recent memory, Kevin Hensch of Fox Sports is asking "Who is the reigning First Lady of the NFL?"

Not as easy is becoming First Lady of the NFL. What exactly is First Lady of the NFL, you ask? Well, for starters, it's an excuse for us to bring you this photo. This photo. And this photo... But that doesn't mean we don't have to settle the debate. Who is the First Lady of the NFL?... [T]here are really only two serious nominees for this gig: Gisele Bundchen and Jessica Simpson.

The rest is just the predictable blather, comparing Jessica and Gisele in a bunch of categories. But the debate was settled a long time ago wasn't it? I mean, you can say it's all a matter of personal tastes... where you stand on hair color, brains, bewb size, income level or crazyass stalker fathers... but doesn't it really come down to this: In order to become the First Lady, you have to be involved with the leader of something? John Edwards wife might think her husband is the greatest living American (OK, maybe not) but she knows who's really waking up in the White House every day. Who around here calls his honey First Lady? El Pres, not me. Leadership has its privileges. When Tony Romo throws 50 TDs in a season, wins an MVP, wins three Super Bowls... hell, when he wins anything... Cowboys fans can call Simpson anything they damned well please.

Until then, this isn't even a question. But it is an excuse to countdown the Top Ten Hottest Current NFL Wives and Girlfriends. Click here for that.
