It’s an all Vegas Friday and Tommy is showing his age. Listen as he complains about new college bars, elitist night clubs, and guys who request s&m from his girlfriend.
Other topics include celebrity watching in Sin City, a place for pancakes after a long night out, new ways to find the TAI program, Tommy’s new office, and drinking beer with The Weasel. You ate a stripper’s pie?

Did anyone see Paris Hilton on Letterman last night? I thought she was going to get up and leave because he wouldn’t stop asking her about jail. http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/video_player/index/php/932451.phtml
Not sure if anyone saw this or not.

I love sports and get into the games as much as anyone, but when people think that they have rights like this.

The Chicago Tribune has a story on Neveda’s legal brothels this morning – indicating that they might soon be illegal – you can read the whole story here: http://tinyurl.com/2pk9tc
But – reading this seems like it would kill the fantasy before it even starts: “At the Mustang recently, prostitutes appeared to take matters of health seriously. All talk between prostitutes and potential customers regarding prices and services must take place in one of several small negotiating rooms. Before a customer pays, he is required to reveal himself to the prostitute. She shines a special lamp on his genitals that is supposed to illuminate any sores associated with certain STDs. “
Okay, I’m going to have to try to come back from the 0-fers that I’ve put on the board due to actually being in Vegas. So…
Green Bay -1
Philadelphia -2.5
New England -6
Also, could we get a list of the top 25 casinos to date? My memory is so good that I can remember that Bellagio was #6…and that’s about it.
Pie Picks:
Green Bay -1
Indy – 9.5
New England -6
I’m not gonna lie JayRo, I can’t remember anything past #6 either. I believe Trainfan has been keeping track (along with his personal crtiques) on the friends of TAI site.
2 more plays for Saturday:
Alabama +2 over Florida St.
Hawaii -25.5 over Idaho
BMo, next time you are involved in a humiliation bet if you lose it should be the Venetian Gondola Ride for you. Of course we’d all need warning so we could be in town to video it from the little bridges.
God bless The Old Ball coach for being the least classy coach in college football. He runs it in for a touchdown when a kneel down ends the game and it puts me into coverville.
I would just like to say a big “FUCK YOU” to Bush and the Iraq war. I just found out today that my friend is getting shipped to Iraq, he’s going to be turning 21 in training rather than at home celebrating with his friends.
can anyone tell me where Fobes is hiding? Still waiting on a response from him and Dutch. Damn, can’t a stripper get some play?
Scott,
I have that same question for the Godfather, unfortunately he is very hush hush with his methods. I personally don’t understand that approach but to each is their own. His percentage last year really was remarkable. We’ll all see if he tunes it up in the next couple months.
Stu,
Why don’t you tell us how you really feel?
Fyregirl,
You know I’ll be there. Just waiting to hear from Mr. Fobes.
just to make them official:
All birds: Falcons, Cardinals and Seahawks
I’m on the Vikings as well but there’s only room for three here.
Haha, I just wanted to let out a little steam. Just a bad day, and getting that news didn’t really help. I understand that we probably would’ve gone to war with the middle east whether we had Bush or Gore (though Gore probably would’ve done a better job). It just made me feel better to blame it on Bush.
RE: College Football
Anyone know a good home equity lender?
By the way. Did this show inspire anyone to google “Judith Light Topless”? If so please post all findings here.
Who’s Judith Light? Who cares? I think Brian has an infatuation with her…
How bout’dem Buffaloes? Go CU!!
NFL picks:
Dallas
Diego
Houston
Fyregirl,guess I’m not invited?
Fyregirl send me a jet I will go out with you.
Richie, I have a large shoe box, I could pop you in the post if you’d like?
Week 4 Picks
GB -1
OAK +4.5
IND -9.5
sorry, i have not been out of touch this morning. i was just watching my CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS beat Oregon and all the money that was on them. ROLL ON YOU BEEEAAAARRRRRRRS! it shouldn’t even have been close if the ref would have gotten his new prescription to correct his nearsightedness. that was an easy field goal – dipshit!! 5-0, i knew i should’ve bet the money instead of taking the points. We should be #3 this week.
fyregirl, i am there – anywhere, anytime. i am bored out of my mind and am always looking for something to do. i have no way to contact you. i’ve tried to see what dutch was up to recently, but have been ignored and spurned. perhaps i did something to upset him.
Damn 2-2 on the day. Nothing like paying the casino a commission to hold your money for 6 hours.
I love Brian’s questioning about Fyregirl’s pie as a gift right after Tommy mentions things are stressful at home. Hilarious insinuations.
Also to the beer tasting… They’re wonderful events to attend if you’re actually into craft beer. They’ll have over 150 to try at this specific event with live bands and food. Also about the price of the event: If you think about it, $35 for unlimited beer for 4 hours is less than what you’d pay if you were drinking in a bar.
okay Fobes. lets do it this week coming up. whats your number?
Hey Everybody,
I keep catching just pieces of the shows, but will return 100% once winter sets in. My Hillsdale Chargers are on fire so blogging about them, maintaining Chargerblue.com, and doing my own weekly podcast have all occupied my non-teaching / family time. Any of you Michigan Tech geeks can stick it! HC 37 MTU 0.
Oh yeah, the book will pick up again then as well.
Dutch, tough day for you buddy! Your Sparties nearly get the Badgers and the Maize and Blue stink up Evanston enough not to cover.
Any Vegas reaction to Dennis Francione’s secret VIP newsletter that got booster inside injury and opponent information on the Aggies for a mere $1200 a season? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5174329.html
Just caught TAI’s favorite Little Person on Cops tonight. Classic!
I just want to know what it is with Tommy and clubs. Maybe it’s just this part of the country (or maybe it’s just me) but every club I’ve ever been to sucks ass. Then again, I haven’t even been to a bar in more than a year. And I’m not the kind of guy to go and enjoy myself after paying a cover and far too much for booze when I could go to Sam’s Club and get 1.75 L of hard liquor and get myself totally bombed for a fraction of the price. Sure, I don’t get any girls drinking at home but I don’t get any girls at a club or bar either.
And won’t it be interesting if we have a four-way tie for the NL wild card tomorrow.
Man, what a weekend for the Top 10 – AP tomorrow should be interesting.
4-2 (16-7 overall). Too bad Purdue didn’t show up in the second half or it would have been a great weekend….I told you guys Miami(OH) +2 -but no one listens
I’m not trying to enter the pick pool, but I field bets for people at work and place them on-line. The two I got this week are 3 team parlay bets.
$20 to win $191
49ers, Raiders Money
Houston -2.5
$20 to win $160
Green Bay Houston -2.5 New Eng. -7.5
I doubt either will hit, we’ll see. I’m going to try and get into the live show tomorrow, but the gf might have me for the night, we’ll see.
my son Joe, the marine is in Las Vegas tonight. God bless you Joe, I love you.
Okay quick offstrip restaurant recomendation though i fon’t remember if you guys ever mentioned it but Hash House Agogo on Sahara for artery cloggin’ good eats
my favorite spots when I was living in Vegas were Shadow at Caesar’s. THe bar at times square in new york,new york and ghost at the palms. Never had a problem with those places, never had to wait in line or anything and the service was pretty damn good. Though I lived out in summerlin so on a regular night I’d just head to red rock or the suncoast for a quick drink
Oh and for any fight fans. Pavlik takes the straps off Jermain Taylor via KO in the 7th. It’ll be nice for Pavlik to get a little respect for this one.
cheers to your son, colonel. no matter what my political differences might be with this administration, i have the utmost respect and admiration for what he is doing for all of us.
my picks for this week:
Steelers -6
Eagles -2.5
Raiders +4.5
Pmac, Hope you didn’t put the house on Scotland, i thought it was a good bet as well. Plus with Fiji dumping out Wales, it wasn’t a great night at all.
Tonight’s games:
Georgia +46.5
Argentina -3.5
USA +52.5
RWC 5-4-0
dunno bout celebs but i did see a few at drai’s… aside from that just a few sightings here and there… i see more athletes than celebs though
Picks for week 4:
Buffalo +3.5
Detroit +2.5
Arizona +6
Pittsburgh -6 , Pittsburgh over , Houston , Chicago
ooooops! The Godfathers strong pick of the week (Michigan) was’nt strong enough!
Just asking for trouble taking all road favorites, but it’s not like I’ve made any smart picks yet this year anyway….
PHI
CHI
GB
Dutch, I hope you are wrong on your Falcons pick, but I have to say I think it is a strong one. The Texans are missing #1 RB, 3 of 4 top receivers and some linemen. Combine this with being a road favorite, even at Atlanta, and I think you have a solid pick. Again, I hope the Texans find a way, but I like your pick.
today
CHI +3 DET
HOU -3 ATL
CLE +4 BAL
GB -2 MIN
ARZ +6 PIT
SD -11.5 KC
CHI/DET U45.5
SEA/SF O40.5
Week Four Picks – Philadelphia, NY Jets, Pittsburgh
Well I had a crappy weekend with my picks.
I managed one win out of my 4, my worst set of Rugby results this tournament. Most disappointing was the Scotland vs Italy game. Altough Scotland did win it wasn’t the walkover I (or my wallet) was expecting. I was a score away from a push, never mind a win. The tournamet on the whole has still left me in profit, but that game did cost me almost all of my winning.
The group games are over now and we’re at the quarter final stages, as such there are no mid week games. So both you and the teams remaining all get a few days rest.
My nice little record of 15-5-0 (75%) has now turned into 16-8-0 (66%).
Talk about wanting to win, the Browns really want to beat the life out of the Ravens. 14 – 0 within fifteen minutes of kickoff.
Just for Brian, I did a search for Judith Light topless, and have the link to the results (click on my name). Not surprisingly, TAI is the number one hit now that the episode was named “Judith Light Topless”. I’m not sure which is the more bizarre first page hit though: “Alyssa Milano does her gardening topless”, or the link to the Women in Prison movie review website.
What a huge weekend if you’re a sports fan. I’m all amped up about the live show tonight on donbest.com (8pm PST). There’s so much to talk about I’m not sure I’ll have time for my obligatory vagina reference. Oh who am I kidding. I’ll make time.
I want to thank Tom Glavine for MELTING DOWN collasally in the first inning. Way to go Mets. This choke makes the Mariners’ look like a little hiccup.
Man alive there’s some huge douchebags in sports lately…Milton Bradley, the coach of the women’s US World Cup team who just BANNED Hope Solo from the 3rd place match after she shot her mouth off at his horrible decision to replace her with a woman who hadn’t played a minute in this year’s World Cup and the replacement ends up getting SHELLED.
Just don’t yell into the mike, Brian.
I would hate to give you yet another thing to complain about asterion
Good luck with the show tonight guys, can we please have at least 1 reference to hookers and/or strippers just to break up the monotony of the sports talk?
