Hamsterdam Thinks Jeopardy Has Gotten Awful Kinky

First threesomes, now this?

This ain't your father's Jeopardy. I'm sure a filthy Canadian like Trebek loves it, though.

Anyway, here's your Hamsterdam for the evening (and beyond; feel free to use this for the rest of the weekend). There's live UFC on FX, basketball and hockey on elsewhere. Standard open thread rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no politics, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

He's got a point.

Newspapers are dying and have shown that they need to move to the web, but trying to block out blogs is uncool, and will also, eventually, hurt old media. Without blogs linking to the old media their sites will eventually shrivel. If the old guys aren’t sharing links, the blogs have no reason to do so either.

by The Mexican't on Jan 20, 2012 9:09 PM CST up reply actions  

Well, blogs do because old media outlets still break a lot of news.

And have more access than blogs.

But gradually those things are changing.

Right. They'll live for a while, until blogs start making connections and gathering sources.

Some of the blogs for major league teams have already established themselves well enough that they can probably live without old media. As bloggers start to get jobs like Jacobi’s, they may help their old pals make connections as well. The papers will have to learn to play nice if they want to stay open.

Ramos and Marion losing is disappointing, but not that surprising for me. The Stiebers, annoying preppy twats that they may be, are good wrestlers. Even the DSJ loss isn’t that shocking given how much pain he appeared to be in.

The Evans loss is the most frustrating. He should have crushed that punk.

It makes sense since the Pac 12 plays a lot of games on Thursday/Sunday, which don’t feature much B1G action. Plus, he’s based in LA now, I think.

There’s something sad about seeing a good team hang on just a little too long.

The Bulls crushed the Suns into paste the other night without Rose playing a second. Crushed the Cavs tonight too w/o Rose.

Um... a little too early for the whole, "I thought he would be..."

For one, there’s a HUGE jump between college and the pros and especially the speed of the B1G compared to the NBA. Take out a training camp, and any rookie will have it tough. In fact, (the vastly underrated*) Jon Leuer is the only B1G rookie getting any burn. I think the difference in game style from the B1G to the NBA is pretty much the same as your average HS to a BCS level program. It’s not a different game, but it’s close.

*he’s white, he played in the B1G, he played at Wisconsin

Just a lot of stupid shit.

I’m not sure which outlet saved the screenshots, but there were some really dumb tweets. The kid just didn’t realize that twitter isn’t something that should be used as a stream of consciousness tool so he was constantly talking about wanting to get laid and calling his buddies dick heads.

(Mostly) typical HS stuff, and the timeline was private so he probably thought he was in the clear. Others will learn quickly from his mistakes.

From what I read (take that as a grain of salt)

His coach made it a policy that nobody on the team could have twitter and repeatedly told him to shut his site down.

If he stays smart and doesn’t throw a flying knee, he probably gets the KO before the first 5 minutes are up. Inability to maintain discipline is always his downfall.

That's unfortunate.

The fight went as expected. Guillard was the better fighter on his feet and then made a poor decision that resulted in him trying to defend submissions. Letting this fight get to the ground was instant death for Melvin.

Glimpsed an Iowa helmet

in a Senior Bowl commercial, paused it & tried to figure out who it was but couldn’t. Here’s what I was able to see:

*Last name starts with a C, possibly followed by an H (Chandler the TE, maybe?)
*Caucasian
*Two digit # starting with an 8 (no clue if they get to wear their regular # during these games)
*Seems to be on the line but too close to see if offense or defense

He took them to two Rose Bowls (won one) and a National Championship Game.

I think they would have gotten a pretty good return on their Chip Kelly investment if he had ended up leaving for the NFL. (Which it sounds like he’s NOT going to do now.)
