Entourage Update - BOOM!

The season 5 premiere of Entourage is next Sunday, Sept 7th. A ton of buzz is already coming out about the new season what happens to the crew from Queens. It looks like this season will have more cameos than the fucking Teen Choice Awards or an episode of Hee Haw. Talk is that Beijing Boy Michael Phelps drops in, habitual gambler, Mr. Phil Mickelson tees it up with Drama, and Tony Soprano's daughter Meadow gets a three episode arc. And yes, that's how we talk in the business, cause that's how I roll.

But, I am looking forward to the new season and all the tail that hits the screen. Speaking of hot pieces of ash...the Entourage blogger from Newsday breaks down the 10 hottest chick from the first four season of the show. I do agree with the first choice, although you can't go wrong with any one of them. Including the chick in the picture to the right. She's the one that became the "trois" of Eric and Sloan's "Menage a" in Season 3.

4 Guys From Queens found a new extended Season 5 trailer. It looks like the reviews for Medellin are good. Good and Terrible. About as good as one of those hilarious movies from Tyler Perry with a man dressed up as a old hag. No offense Pugh, but watching those movies would be as painful as watching a weekend marathon of "Sex in the City," followed by a skull bashing with a tire iron. Oops...another favorite show of yours.

2008 Fantasy Draft Set- "Put Me In Your Mouth"

With kudos to Whitney from our local Hooters establishment, we now have the official 2008 draft order. This is a long standing tradition of asking a Hooters chick to pull the names out of a hat, while also giving us 12 more opportunities to harass her. Twelve different varieties of asking her to filet a league owner. Twelve times being shot down.

The quest for the vaunted Fantasy Football Championship is off and running. Here is a rundown of the results:

1) Robbie Houchin - Once again RTH wins the LT prize. Houchin has had LT since he was a Horned Frog.
2) Casey H - Was first pick last year...AD was the clear pick a week ago...has Casey balked?
3) Charmoli/Neli - Continued futility resulted in Neli being brought on board to change the direction of this franchise
4) Wilson - Has the newborn jinx going against him - please see Jay in '07
5) James Russell Unverzagt III - Must come out strong after dismal season last year
6) Franky - Committed to one message board post a week...no shot
7) Nick - '06 Champ is always strong...terrible logo
8) Ricotta Cheese - Defending champs will be brought back to reality this year
9) Matt P - Two time champ will get at least one Bronco runningback guaranteed
10) Pugh/Hankins - OK Lee, only 10 transactions per season. But, I guess your parter should have told you that last season before you used seven on defenses and kickers
11) Lippy/Orr - Tough starting position for the league favorites
12) Brent/Scratch - Made an amazing run to the playoffs last year...can they back it up?

In the spirit of the Open Public Records Act of 1687, let it be known that Nick, Larry, Franky and Casey voted to regress the league and alter the scoring. We will once again use a point for every 20 yards with a bonus at 100 yards of three points. This is a crying shame. Last year was the most competitive the league had ever been...and we want to change that? Nice work fellas. I really don't care that you basically did it to upset Greg and myself. See ya in the playoffs, chumps.

Three's Company

We have all heard the expression "three is company, four's a crowd". Well I am here to say that there are times when three is too many as well. Looking back on my adolescence I can remember a time when I thought that three-somes were just for porn, rockstars, and any gay man that runs into Ace & Gary (see SNL for reference). I was also under the impression that most men's fantasies out there involving the fetish were to include two girls, NOT two guys! I totally get the idea of having a wingman, rephrase, love the idea of the wingman, but I'm not sure it was created for the bedroom. We have all been in a situation where the wingman steps up and the next thing you know you find yourself as the "iron chef of pounding vash". Its a great feeling of accomplishment. With that said, I fail to see any reward in nailing some chick like you just met her at the fair with another man in the room, let alone two other douche bags.

A woman must be "super-model hot" for a man to get in bed with another man, and the two men better never touch. These days it seems that some men are so desperate that they will get in bed with anything just to get their rocks off, and that needs to stop. Where is the feeling of accomplishment...and where is the self-respect! I was recently called out for lowering my standards a bit (come on, we have all had droughts) but never have let it come to sexual relations with a hobbit and another man. My right hand is still working just fine.

So I am challenging men everywhere...get your own poon! You will wake up the next morning feeling a lot better about yourself and will be able to look your friends in the eyes when they ask you what you did the previous night. Leave the bedroom invitations for the moments where one just can't pass up the opportunity to see whats coming. Look at it as a chance to visit Wrigley Field, meet Jordan, or play in the Ryder Cup...certain things out there you wouldn't miss for the world. Having sex with a modest female and your best friend would Not fall into this category. Save the opportunity for the hot ass, guys. Either way your friends are not going to let you here the end of it, so take pride in the stories you create.

All Bush All The Time...

Let's keep this theme rolling today with some more news about Bush. This time we'll take it back to Michael Bush. His last performance in the preseason game is garnering him some attention. Bleacher Report posted a great article about the three headed monster the Raider will have in their backfield.

"Part III, Filling the role of the team’s secret weapon and short yardage sledgehammer will be Michael Bush No. 29 on your program."

"Describing the running game in Oakland some people will use the phrase “Thunder and Lightning.” That analogy holds true considering Darren McFadden as the lightning and Michael Bush as the thunder."

With a healthy Mike Bush, the veteran Justin Fargus and the speedster Darren McFadden, the Raiders fans are actually looking forward the to season. They can actually wear all the face paint and spikes and not look like total morons for a change.

"He isn’t strictly a power guy, he’s an excellent runner that can make defenders miss or simply run them over. He has the type of talent to cause you to keep track of another statistic with Bush; how many defenders he has trucked.

He is an excellent receiver out of the backfield, excellent blocker with the skill to eliminate blitzing linebackers and defensive backs.

The Oakland Raiders are a running football team."

Here is the entire article...

Bring Back (da) Bush

by Neli

When I was asked by my good friend Jason Lippy if there was anything that I wanted to “sound off” about in his blog, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to get something off my chest that has been bothering me for some time:

What is the deal with shaved vaginas?

Not to sound too much like my grandfather recounting his storming the beaches of Normandy, but in my younger day, half of the battle was hacking your way through the “forbidden forest” in order to get to the holy grail. The first feel of those beautiful black curlies let a young man know that all of his empty talk, and hollow promises were finally paying off. Who hasn’t popped a cold one and told the timeless tale of an adolescent man, his right index finger and a handful of strays. It is almost cathartic just recalling it.

But today’s woman has chosen to deny a generation of young men the right of passage of caressing the carpet, instead choosing to take a razor to their beautiful manes, leaving no thing but the disfigured anatomy remaining. I, having personally seen a completely bare vagina, (once in a magazine), cannot for the life of me understand the attraction. It resembles a cross between a tiny marsupial at birth and piece of already chewed Big League chewing gum. It was Darwinism at it’s best providing the necessary camouflage to hide the hideousness of the actual attraction.

When bush was big, it was a catalyst for individuality. Women could define who they were by the way they chose to groom themselves. There was the Three Iron Divot (athletic), the Adolph Hitler (repressive\ tyrianist), the Bermuda Triangle (a lost soul), the Buckwheat (careless and free) and the Sasquatch (self explanatory). A man knew instantly whom he was dealing with simply by flossing.

But today the rules have changed with the simple swipe of a two dollar Venus Gillette.

NOT ON MY WATCH.

I say bring back bush. Make the money shot worth something again. Make white panties worth seeing through again.

Not to resurrect Simon and Garfunkle, but coo coo achoo Mrs. Robinson, a nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you….and your muff. I say put down the razors; step away from the Nair. Do not deface that beautiful honey-hole any longer. Embrace your pubes. Take a stand, allow that gorgeous natural-grass to grow on the infield, and yell to the high heavens PLAY BALL.

For Your Reading Pleasure...

One of the great mysteries in the world (beside how Pugh was able to bang some hot piece of ass recently) is the fact that during my drunken trials and tribulations is that I've never witnessed a game at Wrigley Field. I regret missing the last bachelor party there during my experiment we'll call a marriage, but it was the first emphasis behind us parting. Well my good friends at JoeSportsFan.com recently returned from the Cardinal Cubs series in the Windy City and have photo-blogged the entire experience... Please enjoy.

How great is this...Pro Football Talk is reporting that Chad Johnson has filed a motion in the state of Florida to officially change his name to "Chad Ocho Cinco." If you watched the Monday Night game this week and saw his interview than you knew he had something up his sleeve. Well this seems to be the beginning of it.

Michael Phelps is OK....

Awful Announcing does all the hard work and lay out today's Olympic announcing schedule...kudos.

Jungle Fever Part Deux

by JBNation

Inter-racial dating is sweeping the nation and can be seen in every hometown. I myself have found this new fad to be quite disturbing, as it hits very close to home. I currently live with a roommate who is in one of these relationships, and times around the house seem pretty awkward at best. Constant arguing over the simplest things like types of food for dinner, places to hang out, and even choices of extracurricular activities are just the beginning of struggles in this relationship. It seems that in the beginning these relationships are a good idea and do have there positives as well, but in the end the backgrounds are too far apart. I myself have had inter-relations and have seen first hand both sides to the argument. I'm not saying I am totally against it but research needs to be developed more for me to come to a conclusion, until then I will sit back and observe my current surrounding to conclude a final result...

Big Donkey Traded to a Contender

In what can only amount to Walt Jocketty cleaning house and re-tooling the Reds, the Big Donkey was traded yesterday to the Arizona Diamonbacks for a Dallas Buck and some players to be named later. Wasn't Crash Davis once a "player to be named later"

I distinctly remember this feeling betrayal last winter when then GM, Wayne Krivsky, sent Josh "The Natural" Hamilton to the Rangers. Sure the Reds got Edison Volquez in exchange, but Hamilton is battling for the triple crown and is still only in his second year. The trade has seemed to work out for both teams, but it might have started the demise of "what could have been." How 'bout having Adam Dunn, Josh Hamilton and Junior Griffey loitering around the outfield of Great American Ball Park. Not bad.

Here is a feel what is being said about the trade along the lines of the world wide web.

Hal McCoy talked to Skipper Don Baylor about losing Adam Dunn....

Deadspin asked "Who Killed the Reds"

C. Trent asks, "When will the winning start?"

That's One Helluva Bush

We here at Riding the Pine were elated that local hero Michael Bush saw his first game action in almost two years over the weekend. We threw some stats out and told you that he scored his first touchdown and so on and so on...

But then we came across some footage from the game. You gotta be kidding me. It looks like Bush hasn't lost a step. Bush thinks he's still running all over the Kentucky Wildcats in PJCS. I realize this is just a preseason game against the 49'ers, but this will give you chills. Enjoy

Brian Brohm's first game for the Pack

Brian Brohm saw his first live game action for the Green Bay Packers last night as they hosted the Bengals at Lambeau Field. His first throw as a professional? Interception. As Jason Pugh pointed out, it was eerily similar to watching JB Holmes first hole in the final round of the PGA on Sunday. A total buzzkill. But he persevered and finshed the game 8/17 for 70 yards and that one interception. His long pass of the night was 22 yard pass to another rookie, Jordy Nelson from Kansas State. Packers coach Mike McCarthy has some good things to say about the former Trinity Shamrock and Sports Illustrated cover boy...

I would think it's a starting point for both of our rookies. We knew coming into the preseason that we had a lot of work to do there. There are going to be things, and I just know from my vantage point, that Brian did some really good things in the game. And we'll build off of that. He was in a bad spot there on his first play of the game on the interception. The route progression wasn't what it was supposed to be and that's something where you have to have the discipline to move on to the next receiver. He will definitely learn from that situation. But once again, the productivity was there. Was it clean? No, it wasn't clean, but there's a number of factors going on. We'll get that cleaned up and I think it was a very good solid first step for the whole quarterback position.

McCarthy on the back- up quarterback role...

We played one game. There's competition throughout our whole football team. We'll make sure every position is ready to go with more depth than we've ever had here as a football team. The quarterback position has obviously changed. Experience is not the strength like it has been here in the past. Like I said, we have a lot of work to do.

I think Brohm looked poised and relaxed after his first series but still tried to fit the ball into some spots that just weren't there. He was also the unfortunate recipient of some dropped balls deep down field. Here is Brohm after the game...take a watch. His clip is about midway down on the right.

Tropic Thunder - Release Wednesday 8/13

I can't remember anticipating a movie opening as much as I do "Tropic Thunder." So far the reviews have been pretty good for the new Ben Stiller flick, which is nice because his last movie was a disaster. Remember the forgettable "The Heartbreak Kid." Actually most of his recent movies have been shitty.

The Movie Blog gave it a glowing review and says a cameo in the movie by one Thomas Jackson Cruise steals the show. He plays some Hollywood sleaze agent. Classic

You can read his review right here......


Funny or Die has a trailer that is hilarious. If the movie is half as funny as it seems in this trailer its going to kick ass. This clip is definitely NSFW..

Randon Funny or Die Clips...

Watching that clip from Stepbrothers reminded of some random shit I've seen on Funny or Die in the past couple of months. Here's one that made me piss my pants...

First Movie Review - Stepbrothers

Rarely in this world do you find the combination of hilarity and raw sex appeal in something as simple as a movie. I'd say more movies fail in this attempt rather than succeed. Pieces of shit like King Ralph, Corky Romano and Battlefield Earth have proved this. This is not the case with Will Ferrells and John C. Rielly's new masterpiece "Stepbrothers." This movie is flat out hilarious. Best thing Ferrell has done since the Pearl The Landlord on Funny or Die. I mean how funny is this picture?

Get your ass out and see this movie...NOW. This movie gets two prosthetic thumbs up.

Here is a clip of Stepbrothers featuring Huff-n-Doback in Prestige Worldwide first venture "Boats-n-hoes"

Fresh Bush Scores

Congratulations to Louisville hero and future mayor of the city... Mr. Michael Bush. MB scored in the Raiders preseason game last night against the San Fran 49'ers. Mike scored his first TD (albeit in the preseason) since shredding the University of Kentucky in the first game of the 2006 season. His five yard plunge into the endzone put the Raiders up for good. Raiders coach had some nice things to say about the former 4th round draft choice from Male High...

"I'm very pleased with Michael," coach Lane Kiffin said. "He looked really good. I think we have something special with those three running backs."

Darren McFaddon, Justin Fargus and Bush will make up the Raiders backfield this year.

He also converted four of his five short yard attempts into first downs and taking a screen pass from Andrew Walter 23 yards. I see the Raiders using Bush as just that, a short yardage-third down back who is willing to lower is head and drop all 245 on some weak DB.

"To me that's a part of my game," said Bush, who ran for an NCAA-leading 23 touchdowns in 2005. "A running back should always be low. If you have to get that extra yardage, that's what you have to do."

Nice work Mike... Here is the entire article recapping the game

Let the slack out John Holmes

Fellow Kentuckian JB (Don't call me John) Holmes is currently in contention for the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills in Michigan. This would be huge to close the door that Kenny Perry left open at Valhalla in 1996 and win the whole damn thing.

My Saturday Reading...

The next season of Entourage is getting ready to launch on September 7th. Bring that shit on. When we last saw the boys from Queens they just dropped a bomb on Cannes with the premier of "Medellin" Found a nice blog for the show with a preview of Season 5. I hope we get to see Sloan bang some hot chick again. 4 Guys From Queens

Have you been to Chris Cooley's blog yet? Well what the hell. He just got finished hosting a beard growing contest, just classic. Chris Cooley 47

Hall of Famer from the Dayton Dailey News, Hal McCoy, asks a simple question that us Reds fans have been asking ourselves every year in August. Is it time to throw in the towel? The Real McCoy

How could the first day of blogging not include the reason blogs were created...to celebrate the absurdity if sports through JoeSportsFan.com and in particularly Softball Guy. Here's softball guy to tell you first hand how bad ass he is. Softball Guy

Welcome to the MAIN EVENT....

This is the new voice of reason for everything rad. Including resurrecting great words from the '80's. And just like the unbreakable spirit of Daniel Laruso crane kicking the shit out of Johnny...I now announce my presence in the ring courtesy of one Stone Cold Steve Austin. Enjoy.

This isn't going to be some typical, candy ass piece of shit blog. It's going to rock out like my main man Pugh is below. J Pugh has been marred in hot streak right with the ladies, I'm sure this disaster on Dance Dance Revolution has alot to do with it. I think he's retarded or something.
