Caroline Rhea has a good stand up as well (without Google/internet - can anyone say what else she's known for?)
Wasn't she in the Fridays sketch with Andy Kaufman and Michael Richards where Andy decided to go off-script?

Lisa Lampanelli is a classic insult comic. Kind of one-dimensional, but she’s one of hundreds ripping of Don Rickles’ schtick. I think she’s funny, but not in a memorable sort of way. I’m not her biggest fan, but I certainly don’t think she’s terrible. She’s pretty middle of the road for me.

LL is best as a guest on a round-table discussion show (Real Time, Politically Incorrect, etc) because she's got a fast mind and can crack wise really well. But I agree with you--I'm not particularly interested in watching an hour special from LL.
Roaad, your OP implies that Joy Behar is funnier than Lisa Lampanelli. :casty:

Chris Farley appreciation thread

Posted by M Le Rip on 5/25/12 at 8:58 am
I was in Milwaukee for a wedding this past weekend, and the day of the wedding, I woke up really early and went to Madison with a couple friends to see Farley's grave. (Side note--Madison always gets #1 on every list of the greatest college towns, and you can see exactly why immediately when you enter the town--it's the real deal.)

Here's a Farley commercial I probably only saw twice 20 years ago and never again until I just found it on YouTube: LINK

When a guy has a reputation for being a really nice guy or an absolute dick, that's probably never wrong (ie, everybody says Tom Hanks is nice, so there's probably no way that he's an a-hole, and everybody says that Chevy Chase is a dick, so there's probably no way that he's a sweetheart). I've never heard a single negative thing about Farley as a person, which makes it all the more sad that there never was a balls-to-the-wall intervention to help him with his problems.

I was always under the impression that Houston sorta snaked LA back when they got the Texans. Houston sold themselves better to the NFL, while LA thought the NFL was just going to give them a franchise.
Obviously Houston was more proactive when it came to providing an NFL-ready stadium.

The problem with Los Angeles is that it doesn't have a stadium with less than a 90,000 seating capacity, and that means they can sell 89,999 tickets every game and be in the top 3 in NFL attendance but still be blacked out in the 2nd biggest tv market in the country; that's why the Rams moved to Anaheim in the first place to a smaller, easier-to-fill stadium that was out of the city enough that a big chunk of Los Angeles would be exempt from blackout restrictions. If L.A. has a 70,000-seat stadium in the middle of the city, it's all gravy.
quote:

Because if there is a team in LA, then the owners won't have LA to use in order to hold municipalities hostage when they want new stadiums.

Also, many of the existing owners would rather not have a new owner get to cash in on all that L.A. money; they'd probably feel a lot better if one of them got to move their team to L.A. instead.
Great stuff Baloo. I'm not smart enough to know whether or not t would work, but it's definitely intriguing.

Or if schools started women's football. Could be good springtime fun.

No one will get away with anything.
Exactly, and that's going to end up benefiting the team in black two superstars. Every time Wade or James penetrate, a foul will be called. Heat win.
Spoelstra isn't whining, and he's not telling the truth. He's working the officials, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the product of the advice of Pat Riley. This is smart. From here on out, the Pacers will get away with absolutely nothing.
Did your dad have Brooklyn/NY ties? Are you one of the 1/3 of all Americans who can trace their ancestry through Brooklyn?

The older I get, the cooler it seems to would have been if the Dodgers and Giants hadn't moved.
Mets fan here. Grew up in Louisiana and didn't want to root for a Texas team. Paid a little attention to the Twins because my dad rooted for them. For a short while interested in the Giants because of their Shreveport affiliation. Moved to NY six years ago, gave it three years of hard thinkin', and went with the Mets. I could give you several other reasons, but I think it's simply put to say that I'm the new guy here, and the Mets are the new team, so they're for me. Let's Go Mets.

Hansborough's play may have started out as a "play on the ball" but it quickly ceased being that.
Yep. Haslem fouled Hansbrough intentionally; we all agree. What some don't see is that Hansbrough clearly fouled Wade intentionally--he's just really good at doing it right when the ball gets in the way.

Both fouls are the same imho.

heading over there in July, thanks for the heads up
Sections 239 and 201. Those are the only two fyi.
Way up behind home plate will be pretty inexpensive, and there'll be shade for most of the game.

You say you don't want to bake in the sun "all day," so I assume that you don't mind a few innings of sun. Anywhere on the west side of the stadium will be in the shade for at least part of the game. You're right that high up in the 200's is in the shade the whole time, but if you want some sun, sit down low in the 200's or go to the 400 sections and sit relatively low.

The Google Maps image that you can see was taken in the morning, so just imagine that the shadows are the exact opposite as they are in the pic.

But really, anybody who doesn't want to bake in the sun all day shouldn't go to an outdoor baseball game on a summer day. Are you going with a bunch of women who just look for a reason to bitch?

Watching TNT doesn't make you retarded. Ernie is the shite.

I bet that 95% of Lebron haters watch more than two hours of ESPN daily. This absolutely disqualifies them from having any intelligence whatsoever.

Now before anybody gets offended and claims that I called Lebron haters retards, let me assure you that I said that only 95% of Lebron haters are retards.
He is the best player in the world, and no one has a cleaner criminal record than he does, and he pays more in taxes annually than any of us will in our lives.

Sounds like the OP envies him.

curious as to what the haters will say once he wins a ring
...at a younger age than Jordan did. It would kill them.

(Disclaimer: Lebron is not better than Jordan.)
I'd rather see the Lebron haters lose than see Lebron lose. Geaux Heat.
I'm going there Monday. Anybody been? Was it awesome? Tell me it was awesome.
