Round of Reubens

Pacman Jones may have dropped his appeal of the year long suspension in an attempt to get his suspension down to 10 games next year, but his lawyer is going on the offensive for him. He is apparently unhappy with the police leaking information to the press among other things. From the Tennessean:

"This case has basically ruined his life. The suspension stemmed from this," attorney Manny Arora said. "We've got him out of playing football. His family is suffering. He's suffering. His image is suffering. It's time to put an end to it. Either you have a case or you don't. It's been five months," Arora said. "The guy that was shot deserves some justice. Just because the nightclub owner says (Jones) was (in the middle of things) doesn't make it so. If it was that clear-cut, five months later we wouldn't be desperately trying to get some sort of misdemeanor charge to stick."

Jone's DNA did not match that of the bite mark left on a bouncer's leg which means there is a biter crawling around somewhere in Vegas so be on the lookout.


MSN has a good story about the basketball team's summer workout's here. The most shocking aspect of the article:

To bring an Eric Hicks in who benched 240 pounds when he walked into the door … we have one guy who benches more than that and nobody else even close.

Who could be the one Mountaineer that can bench 240 pounds? I wouldn't put money on Bawinkel or Alexander. My guess would be Wellington Smith or an outside shot and Butler. But no wonder the team was getting beat up down low. If 255 pound Jami Smalligan can't bench his weight he can't stop Roy Hibbert one on one. The lack of strength may have been a reason why a guy like Mike Gansey couldn't latch on in the NBA. That and a death virus.

Steve Slaton's wrist has healed after surgery so he feels better than Mickelson going into the weekend. I'm hoping Phil makes the cut, I know some people going up this weekend and maybe I can get them to take a picture of the manboobs if he's still around. They just seem so perky when he's happy and so droopy when he's sad. They are like a mood ring, maybe a boob ring.

Yay! Girls make-out Tuesday!

In light of the lack of sporting news. Major league baseball, the NBA finals, the CWS and womens CWS not being enough to talk about. Even classic boxing replays can't satisfy me anymore. Thus, I chose to institute Girls make-out Tuesday. Enjoy.

Small Order of Reubens

Johnny from the Mountainlair, and frequent commenter hereto, has a nice post over at the Fanhaus considering break out players this coming season in the Big East. Among those listed, he includes Wes Lyons, our skyscraper of a receiver. I might have to disagree a little with that one, as his hands still looked suspect and his route running was a tad sloppy during the Blue-Gold game, but with that height and a 50 gallon drum of stick-um, he might be unstoppable.

Additionally, for the USF component of that list, I would include Mike Ford, RB, over Grothe. Ford is, as of yet, relatively unknown at the D-1 level and will add that much needed second dimension to USF's offense. Grothe, on the other hand, was Big East rookie of the year in 2006 isn't exactly an "unknown". With the addition of Ford, USF could be a serious contender this coming season in the Big East and moves my expectations of USF from middle of the pack to a contender for the Big East title.

Secondly, the almighty EDSBS has taken a bit of a fall from grace in the eyes of the Bastards, but through no fault of their own. After all, if we weren't WVU fans, we certainly would have ran with this video as well. (We have not posted said video for the sake of maintaining *some* dignity.) Some advice to all of you out there, the next time your buddy says, "Hey, lets post this on youtube." Kick him in the balls.

BSR- Round of Reubens

Today marked the third day of my new job, and the first day I did not order a reuben when the whole group went out to lunch. Cheddar's does not offer a reuben sammy. This may be the event that sparks my boycott of said eatery. . . at least for the time being.

Our Hodge-Podge Page

This post is just to comment on the eclectic nature of the beast that is Pinfall Marks. As you scroll down this page, you are taken on this journey- from a dog shitting to a sweet ass, then to some NASCAR action (why?), followed by some bullshit about Borat, some yummy Pub Mix, a reubens reference (also yummy), penguin waa waa, an actual sports bit, a pic of Pryor, and finally back to the Penguins waa waa.

I dunno why we can't be full-time bloggers. This is all encompassing shit here. I will not even begin to consider addressing the pearls of wisdom contained within the comment threads. woot. Oh yeah, the animal you see pictured- as if you did not know- is a yak.
