I Don't Like Mark Cuban Either. But...

...here he destroys an ESPN fuckwit.  More of this would have me actually tuning in to that Godforsaken channel*.

I actually like much (but certainly not all) of what comes out of Cuban's mouth; I just don't like very much how he says, ESPN fucktard beatdowns notwithstanding, where I'm willing to look the other way.

The really unbelievable thing is how amazingly likeable his brother is - how did they grow up in the same house.

[Taras Bulba]

I read once that Troy Aikman had a meeting with his attorney after Bayless wrote something questioning his sexual orientation.  He asked what the consequences would be if he beat the living shit out of Bayless.  Goddamn lawyers.

Consequences?  I'm sure Troy's boyfriend would've been impressed.

Things like this used to piss me off to no end.  Now, not so much.  Turns out the three Super Bowls he won are far more imporatant to me that his alleged sexual orientation.

You know damn well that Cowboy bashers have used that the whole Troy-being-gay-bit in a dergogatory manner for years.  Had he actually been gay it would not have bothered me in the least, at any point in time.

I don't like the Cowboys. Troy Aikman was a great QB. Nothing else matters to me.

In news thoroughly unrelated to Troy Aikman, Tom Cruise has shaved off his second beard split with Katie Holmes.

By no means do I mean any disrespect to Ms. Gyllenhall, but I could post some photos from the net that would show how one was not like the other, but then we'd both get fired.

She was kind of in Broke Back Mountain and the Batman movie.

Yeah, well, music I vaguely follow, and sometimes looking up stuff in the music thread is its own reward.  Young actresses all look alike to me.

Honestly I can't say.  It was interesting, it was a good space, we had a good grilled squid appetizer and as I recall my fish entree was a bit dry.  It was ok, and if someone said I'd really like to go to Fisheria I'd say great.  I had kinda the same reaction to Underbelly, for what it's worth.  Flip side of that is Oxheart, which I'd really like to get back to.

I don't give a rat's ass about anyone or anything mentioned in this thread, so far as I know; but I'd like to applaud all participants for the remarkable progression of the subject matter, moving dizzily/breathlessly from Mark Cuban to Skip Bayless to Troy Aikman to Tom Cruise to Maggie Gyllenhall to Martha Plimpton, all in the space of 50 posts.

Just beautiful.
