Spygate sounds like the name of a fucking Dakota Fanning movie

From an email last week:

"can i be the first to say that this business of adding "-gate" to denote that something is scandalous, is maybe the stupidest thing i have ever heard of? i hate it."

Couldn't agree more. Watergate happened over 30 years ago and referred to a building called...get ready for this...WATERGATE!!

When the Patriots were illegally taping shit, they were not using Spygate-brand cameras or spying through an electric gate. No, a gate, or Watergate, or anything remotely connected had to do with that or any other recent scandal.

Lazy journalism. Slap on the wrist. Bad bad bad. (Though, if they wanted to call it the Illegal Taping Contra Scandal, then we'd be talking).

Elsewhere in relevant news, Richard Nixon is no longer the president.

Dakota Fanning apparently makes $3 million a movie. For three million dollars, you could probably find some one to cut her tongue out or staple her lips shut.

Our boss just made a "lives in the basement with his mother joke."

Not about bloggers. About an overweight security guard. Bloggers and overweight security guards: one in the same.

Why are there no NBA Draft analysts? If Kiper can do seven rounds for the NFL, two for the NBA would be cake.

If you could switch bodies with a celebrity for one day who would it be?

Our answer is two-fold:

a. Carmen Electra. We would play with ourself all day long.

b. Tony Romo. This sounds pretty fun. Not the losing. The other shit. Fifteen grand to SHOW UP at a club. Awesome.

If you're on the Facebook, you could probably base a masturbation session off of those ads to the left.

If you could fire a team, they should fire the Denver Nuggets. That was the sorriest excuse for a playoff series we can remember. The Nuggs have just as much talent as the Lakers, were only seven games worse and had the star power to win a series.

But Kornheiser made a good point on PTI saying that Denver is like a fantasy team in that it is loaded with stars, but has no chemistry.

It shouldn't be George Karl's job that's in jeopardy. It should be every player on his team's.
