Deadspin
And here's some media-related news that will only be fun for those of us who enjoy TV journalist Maria Menounos' exemplary, hard-hitting work on the Today show and Access Hollywood. From an email:
Model/Actress and entertainment correspondent Maria Menounos will attempt to qualify for the AVP Cuervo Gold Crown Huntington Beach Open on Thursday, May 1st in Los Angeles. Menounos hopes her athleticism coupled with her 5' 9" stature will enable her to experience the same success on the beach volleyball court that she's had in front of the camera...
Is it sweeps week already?

Um, what was the question again?
Sweeps started Thursday, I believe.
But, I tend to ignore my News Director.
@being_sven:
but what about your Cruise Director?
/ahoy-hoy!
She makes me proud, yes indeed. I only wish I saw her at mass on Saturday.
Ok fine, Daulerio doesn't want to have to deal with the trannies. Let TWWL do it for you: [soccernet.espn.go.com]
I have 0 idea who that chick is but her ass is definitely a yes.
@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: It's defying fucking gravity.
@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado:
I would like to have slice of pie served to me on that ass.
@TattooedMess(iah): There was a question?
Does anyone else remember her from Channel One? She was actually pretty good on there.
@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: Entertainment Tonight reporter; if you've never watched that, you probably wouldn't've seen her.
Also, I'm still working on that "Who do you start with?" question...
Too many nouns in that name.

As you can see from this graph, it's been a wild one in Detroit.
I'd like to point out that the bloggers have won and we've finally reached mainstream acceptance for "The Big Tilde"

@byproxy: Well done, good sir. Shows why you should never take your eyes off of Sheed.
@SA: Channel One and Anderson Cooper!
I remember it being piped in to Study Hall.
Do we get (scantily clad) tryout pictures next?
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: WOO! ~
@JB*: fucking Channel One - I remember the dude wearing a UCLA jersey when they covered the 1995 Final Four....
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: Much applause. And through your and Lady A's comments, I've gotten MLB.tv. It's well worth it.
@JB*: I had to watch it every day during homeroom in middle and high schools. I don't think I watched it during Anderson Cooper's days there.
@SA: Her and Lisa Ling.
Alec Baldwin has put on a lot of weight over the years. Most of it hair product.
@SA: Damnit... another sign of how old I am. He and Lisa Ling (I think it was) hosted.
nibbles punched in right on time I see.
@being_sven: I had totally forgotten about Lisa Ling. What the hell happened to her?
Since I missed the image frenzy of Iracane's Ombudsman post yesterday, I am getting in on the act late.
Twice. Because I want to.
You're welcome, DUAN, for the motivation I have provided you.
@Slothrop: Furry little *&%$#$ has been here all freakin' day...
@SA: She shows up on Oprah every few months with something she did for National Geographic.
@JB*: I remember Anderson on there. And I think Serena Altshull at one point too
@SA: it's a good feeling in Tilde land
and Mlb.tv is the shit. the broadcasts are so much better this year.
I also enjoyed her work on ET on MTV.
And, by "enjoyed," I mean yanked for.
OK, Pistons have their act in gear...good.
Tigers just knocked Phil Hughes out of the game...good.
Wings/Avs in about 75 minutes...good.
@amorphous: It makes about as much sense as me being the one to defeat GawkerMedia's star-commenting/connection index. Much obliged, on that count.
@JB*: Like I said, remember Ling's last day there. Not her entire stay though.
@being_sven: I guess that whole leaving The View thing is working out for her.
And no that isn't a typo. Anything is better than being on that awful show.
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: I have fond memories of Ms Altshul in a flimsy sweater & no brassiere/sheer brassiere when delivering the MTV News. Oh, to be sixteen...
@Yostal: All true, but the most entertaining sport in Michigan right now is text-messaging.
Signed, KK
@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: Oh, I had quite the crush on Fraulein Altshull in her MTV days.
@SA: ugh. B/c that show runs on our channel, and I have it on every morning in my office, I'm subjected to it (albeit, in the background) too often... The rergurgitation alone drives me crazy. God forbid any of those brainless idiots come up with an idea of their own instead of parroting back something they saw on TV.
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance for you: @being_sven: somehow, I knew this feeling would be shared by other fellas of a certain age...
@byproxy: Allow me to respectfully disagree. The most entertaining sport in Michigan right now is listening to Fox 2 anchor Huel Perkins read Kwame's text messages and then set it to a beat:

Proving that soccer and moon landings go hand in hand, I present this to you from the good people at NASA and found on Strange Maps:

@Yostal: Holy shite - I had forgotten all about Huel. That was amazing.
@amorphous:
Gulp.
@Yostal:
I think I caught that once--high fever, some aches and pains, little nausea.
OK, I know I'm not an East Coaster, but do games at Yankee Stadium always take this long? We're nearly two hours in and we're only in the bottom of the fourth.
@Secret Identity:
didn't we cover this already today ...
@Yostal: (in dramatic English accent):
"Neil Armstrong...with the cor-nah!"
@Yostal:
You are familiar with American League Baseball?
@being_sven: in my most Southern accented voice You poor thing. At least it's only an hour long.
So, DUAN, I've mentioned that I'm moving out of my house. I have--well, HAD--a roommate who is so awkward around boys she makes me look like Helen of Troy.
I got home from work tonight to find her on my couch making out with a boy.
I think this is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
@Yostal: I guess we will have to agree to disagree, then, as I prefer my kwamesexytime messages straight from the downloadable plain text:
Freep
