Cookies And Nipples
Podcasts July 23rd, 2007What a week it’s been in the world of sports. Between Michael Vick being te world’s worst pet owner, Mark Cuban gunning to be the world’s worst baseball owner, the mob taking LeBron to the hoop and major league pitchers doctoring balls and beating up cops, there should be no shortage of topics to discuss. Speaking of pitchers, wait until you hear Dutch’s take on Nolan Ryan.
We’ll also get an update on Brian’s first 2 weeks of baseball betting, another lightning round edition of his over/under picks AFC version, and more pearls of wisdom from Tommy Dutch. Is it cool for a guy to have a cookie jar?

Hi Brian and Tommy,
Thanks for the shout out.
I’m still lost in all this US sports stuff you and Tommy chat about, got to go with Tommy on the ‘Carnoustie’! thing though.
Talking football ’sorry soccer’ hows that David Beckham getting on over there?
You guys fancy getting legless in 2008, let me know as Im in town in Febuary. Thinking about treating Mrs T to the Fiesta Henderson as she’s done 10 years service next February, shes a good’en! lol
Keep it up guys, Brian you must have got your head around ‘the email’ by now with all these shows all week.

Ooopppsss…. Must of had a few too many drinks.. username should’ve been Hell-F-yre (pronounce hell fire).
Come on Nolan Ryan was a great pitcher. Hmmm. Time to bash Tommy Dutch.
July 23rd, 2007 at 4:58 pm
I haven’t been listening long, but have enjoyed the podcast for the time that I have been listening. I used to listen to Brian on All-In and wondered where he went as he was mucho mucho better than the new guy on All-In.
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:13 pm
Juris-Doodle system. ‘Nuff said.
Cuban is an annoying prick and this comes from a guy who lives in Texas.
July 23rd, 2007 at 5:23 pm
Mob, Vegas, Gambling. They are connected? Really. Who would’ve thought?
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:17 pm
You do go way back badshot. To think when I started podcasting I used to say “the email”, and now I almost know how to check it myself. We grow up so fast. sniff…
July 23rd, 2007 at 8:51 pm
Sorry TD - as I sit here at my desk beneath my signed photo of Cal’s 2131 game - I have to admit I was just trying (poorly) to be ironical with my screen name.
Unfortunetly, you really ARE the only person who thinks Cal doesn’t belong in the HOF… sorry.
Nolan Ryan?!….. you’re on your own there buddy…..

Can someone help me understand how legalized sports gambling would have stopped the ref? If a group of bettors has a position on a game - what’s to stop them from getting to a ref - regardless if it’s a legal casino or a bookie who is taking their action?
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:33 pm
Wouldn’t necessarily have stopped the ref from gambling or fixing games, but it would have kept the fucking MAFIA out of professional basketball.
July 23rd, 2007 at 10:47 pm
I’m just wondering how long until the first lawsuit from some degenerate gambler who wants his money back from David Stern.
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:00 pm
bmo and td, going over to the hilton to bet some nfl season win totals, have any favorites?
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Play for Monday:
Boston +122 over Cleveland
The Sox are the dogs today because Ortiz is out of the line up and Jon Lester is making his first start of the season after battling cancer. What people aren’t taking into consideration is that Jake Westbrook has been dinged up most of the year, and when he’s played he hasn’t exactly been fantastic. Not to mention, if the offense can’t step up for a teammate who just beat cancer, they don’t deserve to play.
Record: -51
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Great idea Paigow, that’s a hell of a class action lawsuit.
If a $20,000 bet is made in Vegas by an unknown bettor on a’total’ in a regular season NBA game red flags go up all over town immediately. As soon as a number starts to deviate from the norm highly trained eyes recognize it. Fixes can certainly get by them but not with regularity. Of all the scandals I’m aware of only Arizona State had direct Vegas ties and it was recognized and discovered quickly.
Scott,
I love the Ravens over 9 or 9.5 whatever you find it at.

July 24th, 2007 at 3:03 am
Great breakdown on NBA gambling - bookies and the mob can be found here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=expertexplainsNBAbets
And the guy being interviewed - Brandon Lang of “two for the money fame” agrees with Tommy, saying, “I’m telling you — it would have to be the total, not the winners or losers. You can’t dictate a side, especially in the NBA. He couldn’t take that chance. If someone gets injured or doesn’t show up or is having a terrible night or whatever, you can’t do it. But manipulating the total you can control from the very tip. If you need an over, a referee can dictate a high- or low-scoring game just by how he’s calling it. It’s going to come out.”
July 24th, 2007 at 3:10 am
I’m going to be in town Aug 8-10th. Anyone else around?
July 24th, 2007 at 3:59 am
Brad - I’m going to miss you by a week - I’m getting in on the 18th.
On a different - yet interesting note - I head into Iowa tomorrow - and to quite possibly the remotest part of the state. All I can tell you about my “hotel” is that they offer “cold weather hookups” I’m not sure if that is a reference to starting a car or providing some cornfed farmer’s daughters. They also suggest I explore the area, including Wesley and Burt, Iowa - who sound more like brothers than towns. I think it’s gonna be a long week.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:14 am
Steve Carlton Lifetime ERA: 3.22 Wins: 329 KO: 4136
Nolan Ryan Lifetime ERA: 3.19 Wins: 324 KO: 5714
TD - either you have to start to come up with some more subtle “conversation starters” or quit talking about baseball.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:21 am
Hey Brad…I’ll be in town August 5-10th. I was going to try and meet up with BMo and Dutch to collect my “prize” package sometime that week.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:29 am
Okay, I finally wanted to get a definition for “Cientate” (which as a white guy I first thought was spelled seenatee), and this is what popped up first on google (go figure)…..
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3548/spanish.html
p.s.- you can find the definition right between “Put your hands on the wall and spread your legs” and “crackhead”….
July 24th, 2007 at 4:36 am
Harris, Please add TD’s line (in obvious defensive tone) “… I just happened to be at the bottom of a cookie jar” to your next montage. I haven’t laughed so hard at unintentional humor since Tommy got the former Luxor Club “RA” mixed up with the Cirque Show “KA”.
Excellent point about the Falcon’s missing the opportunity to lift Dunn, by all accounts a true role model, up as representative of their franchise. Vick is sorry about the trouble it cause the organisation, but doesn’t seem one bit remorseful about being a cruel human being.
I see the NFL finally did the right thing and suspended him until they investigate relative to their code of conduct.
July 24th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Hey guys - Im a new listener and was just listening to ep 79 and heard you talking about new guys on the boards so I thought i’d post for two reasons
1) I also used to listen to Brian on All-In… it took me a while but I found my way here
2) I thought I’d help give Tommy some wood by letting you guys know that not only am I Australian, but i’m livin here in London.
Anyway - im loving the show - still working my way thru them until i catch up - so keep up the great work and funny shyte!!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
Trainfan, you will actually be about 30miles west of my hometown of Clear Lake. I will be up there Thurs/Fri if, God forbid, you’re still up there until the end of the week. There’s really nothing worth exploring where your will be at. Britt hosts “National Hobo Days” festival in a couple weeks which would be interesting. Livermore is the hometown of Indianapolis Colts TE Dallas Clark. There are a couple new casinos, but still dives, in the area where you could get in touch with your inner degenerate. Otherwise, the highlight of North Iowa would be Clear Lake. You could catch a concert at the Surf Ballroom, which is where Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper performed their last concert before crashing their plane in a cornfield a couple miles north of town. North Iowa also boasts that we have “the richest soil in the world”. Just some thoughts to keep you busy. Enjoy your trip! I hope you like corn.
July 24th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
I haven’t heard the show yet so I’ve that to look forward to, but my shirt has arrived, and you know what - it’s not half as crappy as I expected. I’ll stop short of saying it’s good quality as that’d be a compliment and I don’t want anyones head getting to big
July 24th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Hawkeye Brad, that’s funny, I keep a boat at the Clear Lake Marina and my parents have a place on the water in Ventura Heights. I was there on Sunday having a few beers at the “farmers beach” party cove.
Trainfan, if you’re driving past Des Moines, we could meet you at the “Prairie Meadows” casino on I-80.
July 24th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
Sorry everyone i’m a little behind. About tipping . . . I think that these bars and restaurants in vegas are hurting their employees with the prices that are being charged. When it’s $7 for a beer and $11 for a mixed drink, people are leaving less. And also, sorry dutch 20% is for good service. I have no issue leaving 25% is we get great service, but if the service sucks, i have no issue leaving 10%. I think that the staff thinks that it’s like a salary and 20% is expected and they don’t work hard enough for it. I’m in sales, if i do a shitty job, i don’t make money and i think it should be the same for those people.

Another good followup to trainfan’s post and tommy’s analysis on espn from guys at pregame.com:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=expertstatsdonaghy
In the end it’s all about the math, right?
July 24th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
OK so I’m very late to the party and am having to stay after school listening to past podcasts to catch up - I have reached 69 So far and it hurts.
Obviously the American sports side leaves me fairly cold as I dont know what the F you are talking about, all I know is that if you have to invent a new game to be world champions you will and when real games come along you bitches all run screaming and talk some shit about a game that can finish is a draw being boring (Oh and by the way it’s called Football not fuckin’ Soccer) and there is only one game of football - your boys are playing a girly game of Rugby but with lots of padding and only 2 seconds of action at a time as you all need to stop for a TV ad or some more food! - The only football in that game is a specialist who comes on and kicks the ball before going off again and sitting on his throne!
I love Vegas and your Podcasts but your sports are funny! - Football is boring (so you say) yet basketball which is a game where the winner is decided by when the umpire decides to blow his whistle is exciting - It’s a game for freaky tall kids - thats all! - Blow the whistle after 10 minutes game ends 22-24 - after 20 minutes 46 - 48 and on and on - wow thats exciting a game that is so difficult to score in that games finish with 100+ points almost all the time. Baseball rocks except what’s the use of a game where the season runs to about 6000 games per team - So losing loads of them is no big deal.
Have I upset anybody yet?
Thank god for UFC - a real sport for real men! Boxing is all but dead, this is the new sport of kings!
July 24th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
I thought I would just sneak in quietly and not upset anybody!!!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Brad, I will find money in the TAI budget if you go to Hobofest ‘07 and interview people. Easily the funniest thing ever.
Hellfyre, I’m glad you finally found your way to the site and I love the contributions, but holy shit. I haven’t seen that kind of manic posting since a young Trainfan.
July 24th, 2007 at 4:33 pm

Nice spin comparing Carlton and Ryan. Next compare Paris Hilton with Helen of Troy

I can’t believe that BMo “out’ed meâ€! Yes, hi my name is Ken and I have an aversion to the color maroon. I’m glad it’s out, what a relief. By the way, I’m a “Winterâ€, so maybe a shirt color that will bring out my eyes next time. Seriously I’m happy to support the show no matter what you come up with. Thanks for the “shout outâ€.
Brian, you claim that you took you wife out to dinner this weekend. However she hasn’t eaten anything since 6/23/07 according to “Bite By Biteâ€. I’m a little worried.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
I have to admit that when Tommy uttered the phrase, “Nolan Ryan did wear a baseball jersey” part of my soul died that day.
He’s certainly my all time favorite player. It seems a litte strange to me that Tommy makes the argument that he was just a fantastic strikeout pitcher. If you get an out with virutally no chance of putting a runner on base (with the rare exception of the swung on third strike passed ball) and no chance of advancing a runner in contrast to what may happen if a batter grounds out or flies out, why is this considered negative? Granted it may take more pitches, but Nolan threw like a beast for TWENTY SEVEN seasons.
Nolan was virtually unhitable. He is the strikeout king. He also is the all time leader in NO HITTERS. He is also tied for the all time lead in ONE hitters. This guy could go the distance time and time again.
Granted he walked a lot of dudes. Lots of homerun hitters fan a lot as well. Mark one down in the con column. His winning percentage was lackluster, granted. However, he played for a variety of miserable teams. What kind of run support did he receive? What was Barry Sanders’ “winning percentage”? Is he overrated? Many amazing players in many sports unfortunately have to wallow on pathetic teams and we never get to see team in playoff situations or truly shine if they were on dynasty teams.
One final argument that should SEAL the deal and put the label back on Cal. Tommy do you remember August 4, 1993? Well that’s the day that one douchebag named Robin Ventura thought he would charge the mound which was occupied by Nolan Ryan. Nolan put him in a headlock and delivered SIX of the most beautiful RIGHT hands straight to the grill of the White Sox pretty boy. CHECKMATE. Come on man…if you’re a Cubs man, you gotta put the curse back on Cal.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
trainfan, i need to agree with Dutch on this one.
Nolan Ryan Played 3 more seasons than Steve Carlton.
Carlton won 20 games 6x
Ryan won 20 games 2x
Carlton went from 1967 - 1984, only twice having a losing record on some pretty bad teams.
In the last 16 seasons of Ryan career, he won more than 14 games just 3 times.
Ryan had a great fastball, nasty curve, but wasn’t a great pitcher. Remember that strike outs are nice and look good. Have no impact on runs or wins.

July 24th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
I do love the most overrated contraversy. I like to know others thoughts.
Here’s the most overrated player in the history of SPORT.
Scottie Pippen.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:40 pm
Can anyone explain to me why people watch golf on TV?
Play the game, if you must, I understand people get enjoyment out of that. It’s just not not my cup of tea, but watching it on TV! It’s got to be the dullest game to watch ever.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Bmo, I’m with Trustno1 on bite by bite site ,i’m sure you said you went to Olives a while back? I also ws thinking of this but couln’t find any pics on Mrs B’s site .can you tell your wife to pull her finger out and get snapping.
July 24th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
I agree with Patch 186% on Scottie Pippen. Why people consider him to be one of the greatest of all time is disgusting, and if you don’t believe me, check out the Bulls’ record when Jordan left and he was “the man”. I think Horace Grant was a better forward than Pippen. But I digress…
Play for Tuesday:
Cubs -135 over Cardinals
This is a situation where if I’m wrong I’ll just tip my cap and burn my ticket. Zambrano going against Kip Wells. No offense to Kip, but I haven’t seen a pitcher that bad since a hack named Nolan Ryan stood on the mound.
Record: +71
July 24th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
I will inform my wife that her loyal fans demand to know what she’s been eating. The past few days have been devoted to Harry Potter, so hopefully now she can get back to work.

Top Five Beers.
5. Colt .45 (especially in 22oz bottles….the “double deuce” 99 cents in college…the main method of “gettin fuctup”)
4. Red Stripe (I just love the Jamacian bottles)
3. Red Hook ESB (Seattle Fine Lager)
2. Anchor Steam (Bay Area Brilliance)
1. Bayern Amber (local microbrew from Missoula, MT from WAY back before microbrewing was cool. Best served unfiltered in the 40 oz glass cowboy boot)
July 24th, 2007 at 7:19 pm
English Bob,
I cant play Golf for shit but really enjoyed watching the Open last week - loads of drama.
As for top five beers:
1. That first Corona with Lime when I get to Vegas
2. The second one
3. Guiness Extra Cold
4. Boddingtons
5. Brahma
July 24th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Top beer has got to be Stella Artois….only in pints though….it aint called wife-beater over here for nuthin….
Belgium’s claim to fame…that, and Jean-Claude Van Damme
July 24th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Have I mentioned how overrated Cal Ripken is and how lame that 3rd Grade perfect attendance award he got is? YAWN.
July 24th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Can’t talk now…geting a huge image of Nolan Ryan holding Robin Ventura in a headlock and pummeling him right in the fuckin’ face tattooed across my entire back.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I think I’ll have to agree with Brian and Patch that “Beam me up” Scotty Pippen was way overrated. What do you guys think of “King” Lebron James? I was not impressed at all with him in the playoffs and Finals.
LOL Patch, that’ll be a nice tattoo!!
July 24th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
Top 5 beers
1. Carling (lager puff )
2.Duff beer (goes without saying )
3.Guinness (only the stuff brewed in Ireland)
4.Newcastle brown ale (clears out the guts)
5.bushys beer (its just some manx shit not that good )
Beat that whit and no babysham please or white wine and a pastry
July 24th, 2007 at 10:26 pm
Don’t really have a favourite beer as long as its cold and wet will do well enough for me. I normaly go with the philosophy of boy meets beer, boy drinks beer, boy gets another beer and repeat until unable to see.
July 24th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Jesus - it’s getting crowded in here.
Trainfan checking in from beautiful Algona IA. I will be out of here by noon on Thursday. But back a few more times over the next couple of months - so the Des Moines meet up sounds like a possibility.
I’m trying to decide if I should head the 30 miles to the Rosewood Casino and Hotel and do a call in to the show from there - or stay at the “luxurious” hotel and jump on full tilt for a while.
I’m not saying Carlton shouldn’t be in the HOF - only that Ryan should. Every post has referenced runs - so ERA is to a large extent the MOST accurate stat for the effectiveness of a pitcher and Ryan had a better career ERA and if the KO’s don’t get him in the Hall - what about the No - Hitters?

First off, welcome to the site Ace. It’s great that you Brits are so passionate about sports, I just wish you were as passionate about punctuation. Holy shit, mix in a period.
July 25th, 2007 at 12:01 am
Just caught up on the last few shows and just wanted to say I felt this was the best sports show yet (Not that you need my approval). It had great topics up front, then a great This Ain’t Iowa twist at the end with Tommy’s cookie and nipple take. When B-Mo said the line about the stack of dead hookers I completely lost it. Keep it up. So far 3 days a week hasn’t diluted the show at all. Looking forward to the interview tomorrow!
July 25th, 2007 at 12:05 am
Brian - I think you should hop onto the board after you tape tonight and give a little preview of “The Interview” - the nation has not been this enthralled since Frost/Nixon
July 25th, 2007 at 12:21 am
Ace, I think you’re arguments against US sports are in the same category of Dutch’s arguments against Ripken & Nolan Ryan. I won’t bring myself down to that level of stupidity to fight with you. I second BMo’s request for punctuation. It’s taken a few weeks, but I am finally understanding what Richie and Whit are saying without reading it 3 times.
July 25th, 2007 at 12:31 am
The Top 5 beers choices is obviously going to vary based on where you’re from. But here is mine:
5. Spotted Cow (New Glarus, Madison, WI)
4. Sam Adams Summertime
3. Sunshine Wheat (New Belgium, Ft. Collins, CO)
2. Easy Street (O’Dells, Ft. Collins, CO)
1. Fat Tire (New Belgium, Ft. Collins, CO)
——————————————-
Agreed that Pippen was way overated. Disagree with Lebron as being overated. Sure, he shit his pants in the finals, but he single-handedly carried his team to the finals.
July 25th, 2007 at 1:29 am

Checked out the Hilton sportsbook yesterday, by far the best book I have seen. NFL and college football season win totals up for all the teams, and several games per week throughout the season already posted (UCLA +16 vs. USC in CFB has to be one of the bets of the year).
Can’t believe that the MGM and Harrah’s properties don’t do the same thing. I would think it would create a lot of extra interest and action.
Definitely worth the trip over if your a sports bettor.
For any golfers out there, the Revere Lexington course is the best value I have seen in Vegas. A thinking person’s course, hilly, with tight fairways for the most part, and small greens. The course has a lot of small doglegs and several risk/reward holes that give you a lot of options on how to play them. The course has some length (7100 yards from the back tees), but I only pulled my driver out of the bag 4-5 times and literally hit every club in the bag. Good condition, and the green fee the day we played was only $55.
July 25th, 2007 at 3:40 am
Ace, Welcome to TAI, great 1st post. I loved your take on American sports(i’m an Aussie), Basketball, a VERY average game,can’t they come up with a better chant than fucking “d-fence”!!! For how big some of these sports are in America, they don’t seem to follow their national teams with the same spirit as we follow our cricket/rugby/soccer teams.
Yep, It’s called SOCCER down here, there’s too many fucking games called football, i bet on them all, and when someone says to me ‘did you watch the football last night?’ it could mean anything. I’ve got a pommie mate who fucking hates it when i call it soccer, but not as much as when an American sports commentator calls a 1-1 draw, a TIE !!
Speaking of soccer, 3-1 , 3-1 , 3-1 !!!

Ace, don’t worry about the punctuation. The language is called English, so we’re allowed a little leaway (both spoken and written)
Strangely the langauge used on the podcast is one of the things I really like about it. Honestly when was the last time you heard anyone use shenanigan’s or brouhaha?
And as for the football/soccer thing, if you think it’s bad for us spare a thought for the Aussies. Football means something different depending on the state - might be Aussie rules, Union, League or on the rare occassion football (soccer).

Tommy D, I am just stoping by to tell you that the thing that you learned about nipples isn’t true. I have no idea about the cookie thing, but that nipple thing, it might be true in some cases but not all. (And as with all things on nipples, you should trust someone that has both boobs and a baby, she just night know….)
