It's getting close to finals so Mandy has set up camp in the library and I'm waist deep in extra credit and begging.
So today's news comes to you in the form of one giant post! Hooray!
#1 - STARS WIN!
Made it out of the first round!
So today's news comes to you in the form of one giant post! Hooray!
#1 - STARS WIN!
Made it out of the first round!
The masked man is a hero!
#2 - Eli Manning tied the knot!
Kudos on the dress, Mrs. Manning.
#3 - Tony Romo had a birthday!
While I was out celebrating a friends 25th bday at a place that serves $1 Coors Original, Romo was getting his face licked by girlfriend Jessica Simpson.
#4 - Everyone's favorite Cowboy is getting his own reality show.
On E!. Shooting in Miami? Wow. Color me shocked.
BREAKING NEWS: Anyone can have a reality show if they ask nice enough.
That'll do it for me today. I have three tests in a row this week, and finals hasn't even started yet. Hooray! If anyone needs me I'll either have my nose in a book or I will be nose diving into a bottle of Tequila.
Thanks to D Mag for the Romo pics and David Rubini for the TO tip!!!

It's rare on this site that we make a big to-do about introducing new blogs. But this introduction is a little bit different. It's a fantasy site, and seeing as how I don't do fantasy (in sports anyways) they may actually be able to help me out sometime.
And besides that they said some really nice stuff about us and if I have taught you anything at all it's that with us, flattery gets you EVERYWHERE.
So, without further ado, welcome to the long list to the right Fantasy Sports 101.
Here is what they said about us because we love us some us:
Two ladies, well endowed with huge ... sports knowledge, bring an honest female's view of sports to the table. A lady's touch is seriously lacking in sports, especially when it comes to blogging and analysis, and these are two of the best. Lauren and Mandy, whose profiles are fun to look at by the way, talk about gossip, players' wives, and other off-the-beaten-path stories from the sports world.

The always clever Chris over at The Hot Route did a collection of different blog's picks for that little game that is coming up on Sunday.
Girls Gone Sports participated. Mandy wrote it because I have an inability to think in "10 words or less" type situations. I did however try and send it in and I screwed it up so bad that Mandy had to fix it. I may or may not have had a few too many frosty libations during breakfast. Drunk at 10am at work? Check. Mandy fixes your problems so it doesn't matter? Check.
I win at life.
Anyways, here is the link to the post! Enjoy.
(Oh, and our pick is the best. Duh.)

I realize it has been pretty lacking around here lately. I apologize. It's been a busy summer so far.
Some of you are new around these parts and may not have read some of our stuff from a few months ago. So, to tide you over until we can have some sort of order around here, enjoy this "greatest hits" list so far:
The NFL MVP33N (Quite possibly the best thing on this site besides our tits)
The face of Clearly Canadian (and one that only a mother could love)
Mandy's hatred for the female sports writer (brilliant)
What to do in case we die (the first no sports, no shirt, no problem)
The love letter that launched 1,000 restraining orders (This is how we lost our innocence)
The Cock Draft (self-explanatory, a post that required a trip to the grocery store)
The re-intro (or how we started a post with a Jay-Z rip off)

Rumors and Rants "how other basketball dynasties relate to other music acts from history" is pure brilliance.
Even if the entire post was stupid shit I didn't agree with (which is way off because I think they hit the nail on the head) I would still think it was perfection just because of this:
San Antonio Spurs (1999 - Present) = Nickleback
A-fuckin'-MAZING.
I HATE the Spurs. And I HATE Nickleback. So for me it totally works.
Music and sports go hand in hand for us. From Mandy getting furious if at the end of a victory the arena doesn't play "Rock and Roll pt. 2", to the jokes we made during last year's NBA playoffs (when we gave a damn) about Coldplay's "The Scientist" being played at the end of a loss.
So kudos, R and R. That post just helped me get through the last hour at work.

There are many ways to make your way into my pants heart. One of those ways is play me some Foghat "Slow Ride" to screw to impress me with your Street Fighting skills. Well The Sports Hernia has done just that. Sort of.
I love it. Andres Nocioni facing off with Blanka. And I just learned that Street Fighter has collectible cards. How do I not own these?
And speaking of trading cards, Our Book of Scrap dropped us a line to let us know that Upper Deck is launching its Spectrum Baseball 2007 cards. Some of the features of the cards are:
Major League Baseball stars: autographed inserts of celebrities from the 1970s and '80s, actors and musicians whose fame -- like the speed of a Maddux fastball, despite his continued greatness -- has arguably faded in recent years.
I'm so excited! There is going to be a Anthony Michael Hall card! That is simply amazing. I am so glad Doug the Stud gave me the heads up. They must know of my undying love for the MAH. Much like my love for the Neil Patrick Harris.
I'm noticing a pattern...the AMH...the NPH...alright another way to my pants heart is have a last name that begins with an H. Man, I'm easy.

Rather than inspire us to seize hard-earned opportunities, Jesse and Al have specialized in blackmailing white folks for profit and attention. They were at it again last week, helping to turn radio shock jock Don Imus’ stupidity into a world-wide crisisI just find it funny that two guys who won't give anything more than half-hearted apologies for their anti-semitic slurs (see the "Hymie Town" incident or some of Sharpton's comments) have no problem leading a crusade against Don Imus for an off-color remark he's apologized up and down for. (In case you live under a rock, Imus was fired.)

A few days ago the crazy good lookin' guys at Rumors and Rants invited the two of us to write a little somethin'-somethin' about our favorite baseball players to be used in a post of theirs called "Sports Bloggers Reveal Their Favorite Baseball Players". Good title.
We both just wanted to thank those boys for letting us be apart of it.
Muah!

Dirk's injury caused him to miss his 15,000th point last night. Again, I apologize for the fact that I am so good looking he couldn't stop thinking about me. It's a curse, really. Why God did you have to curse me with this face? And these amazing boobs? WHY? [DMN via Mavs Money Ball]

There has been a disturbing lack of sports news up on the site this week. Coincidentally, there has also been a disturbing lack of sobriety in my life this week. No wait...maybe that's not a coincidence....anyways, I've done my best to round up everything we've totally dropped the ball on for the past week or so. If you haven't read this stuff yet, you 100% should now:

*On the flip side, Tony Dungy is pretty unrepentant about not liking the gays. Which leads us to ask, "Dude, what about Peyton?" [also With Leather]
*You probably heard that J. Peezy got into a fist fight w/ Levi Jones in Vegas, but did you read the hilarious transcript of the brawl? [The Big Lead, The Mighty MJD]
*A Flickr stream of NBA players and hos. [Via FreeDarko]

*Ryan Dempster is a Harry Caray impersonator, ninja. [Sports by Brooks]

I'm so glad that after 16 wins the Mavs are getting more respect. The respect they deserve. The Mavs are on top.
And that's how Mandy and I like it.
On top.
I've had a busy week at school so here is what some other people said about them:
We’re not ready to start talk of the Mavericks never losing again, but seven players scored in double figures and Dallas won its 16th in a row. - The Big Lead
It was the Mavericks' 16th straight win, and clinched them a playoff berth
(whew!). - Deadspin
