I'm sure after the Fiesta Bowl lots of people are going to be wondering who Colt McCoy's girlfriend is. So just in case you haven't seen her on the zillion websites that she's already been featured on here she is. Her name is Rachel Glandorf. She runs track at Baylor and one can only assume she loves to fuck. She kind of looks like Kathryn Tappen and Coed Magazine has been following her since the Missouri Texas game earlier this year. And yes Colt's mom takes a back seat to nobody.

For those of you who have been following my advice over Bowl season you’re probably rich as fuck by now.  It’s literally been one mortal lock blowout winner after another here at the Stool.  And tonight we look to push this unprecedented streak to 3 with the Over in Ohio State vs. Texas.  I flat out don’t understand how this line isn’t in the 60’s.   Listen, I’m not sure who will win this game or even whether it will be close or not, but I do know that Texas will score at least 35 points and maybe more.   And Ohio State will score at least 21.  You do the math.  Plus it certainly wouldn’t shock me if the Buckeyes went right with Texas and pushed this thing into the 70’s.   This is going to be another Big 12 style game just like the Cotton Bowl.   And that means lots and lots of points and no defense.    So do me a favor and load up on the over, go to bed at half time and buy me a beer at our ski party on Friday as a thank you.

Mortal Lock – Over 52

Introducing Rachel from Northeastern.  Well hello Joey Potter!   Seriously Rachel does a better Katie Holmes in her prime than Katie Holmes did.   And not to make anybody nervous or anything but before Katie Holmes got “Cruised”  she was on my top 10 hottest chicks in the world list.   Just saying.. 

It’s a new year.  Time to break out a whole new crop of smokeshows.  Send them to randomthoughts@barstoolsports.com

That's one way to stop an end zone celebration. Now I know why people say the NFL stands for the No Fun League.

NEW YORK – A state assemblyman investigating the financing for the Mets and Yankees new ballparks wants to postpone a vote on additional public bonds for the projects. Assemblyman Richard Brodsky released a letter Friday requesting the city Industrial Development Agency to delay the Jan. 16 vote. The teams are asking the city for $450 million more in public bonds to pay for their new parks...

The Yankees are asking for another $259 million in tax-exempt bonds and $111 million in taxable bonds, on top of the $940 million in tax-exempt bonds and $25 million in taxable bonds already granted for its $1.3 billion stadium. The Mets want another $83 million, in addition to the $615 million already approved for their $800 million park.

You can say what you want about Massachusetts, and Lord knows our state and local governments are backwardsass in a lot of ways. But at least we're not New York, where they hand hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars over to the Steinbrenners and the Wilpons, who last time I checked weren't exactly hard up for cash. Nor are they curing leukemia or killing terrorists. So two weeks after the Yankees shell out $400 million for three free agents, they've got the balls to ask the taxpayers for an additional $370 million to help pay for a ballpark that they will then charge the public exhorbitant amounts to get into. In the middle of a worldwide economic collapse. Meanwhile I guarantee you guys on the FDNY are fighting for meager pay raises and teachers are being told they can't use too much copy paper. Makes sense. Exactly the kind of good government Washington and Jefferson would've wanted. Masshole politicians are as greedy and corrupt as they come, but even they have the good sense to tell multi-billionaires like John Henry and Bob Kraft to go piss up a rope when they look for handouts. As much as New York likes to talk a good game like it's a world class city, when it comes to pro sports they're no better than Jacksonville or Oklahoma City.

TMZ - Police pulled over the 6'9", 250 pound Walker after he was spotted driving a black Mercedes with the lights off. Cops say they smelled "a strong odor of alcohol" and his eyes looked "bloodshot." Walker refused a breathalyzer test.

The only reason I posted this blog is because I just don't get how Antoine didn't shimmy his way out of this? Because I refuse to believe there is any cop in the world who would arrest him after seeing him do his trademark dance. I mean there is nothing else like it in the world. The only explanation is that he was too drunk to do it. That has to be it.

Somebody sent me this video over the weekend. It's kind of old, but I'd never seen it before. Anyway was was there ever any doubt which kid was going to get smashed? Seriously this had mismatch written all over it from the word go. But I don't get why everybody gets mad at the kid who threw the punch. It wasn't his fault. That's what he was paid to do. And I didn't see the kid who got knocked out crying about it either. Granted he was unconscious, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he took his beating like a man unlike that little kid in the red.

PS - The guy taping this is a bigger scumbag then me and those are fighting words. I mean show some compassion for the dead guy would you?

BURLINGTON, Vt. - For Nicole Zarrillo, seeing a snowboarder with one of Burton Snowboards' new Playboy designs at a Vermont ski slope underscored the reasons why many Vermonters - including her boss - are protesting the new men's snowboards. "When you really think about it, it's a young man standing on top of a naked woman's body," said Zarrillo, 38, an office manager for a nonprofit based in Burlington, also home to Burton's headquarters. "I probably could have gotten past it, because I try to have an open mind, but seeing it like that, it's offensive." Burton Snowboards, located in Vermont's largest city since 1992, cemented its reputation among Vermonters as a progressive company through employee benefits such as matching child-care payments and paying for half of a worker's gym membership. Yet the company has found itself at the center of a growing controversy in the liberal state, with residents, students, and politicians debating free speech and sexism on the ski slopes. The Burlington City Council discussed asking Burton to withdraw the boards, and the Girl Scout Council of Vermont is considering taking concerns to lawmakers next month. 

Fuck.   You know it’s serious when the Girl Scout Council of Vermont is getting involved.   I mean that’s the one organization that you don’t want to tangle with.   Seriously they’re worse than the teamsters.   So I’m hesitant to even comment on this story because I don’t want to get in their cross hairs, but I just can’t let this go without mentioning the giant pink elephant in the room.  I mean is anybody going to bring up the fact that the chicks on these snowboards aren’t even fucking naked?   Isn’t that like kind of important?    There are no tits, vagina's or any private parts anywhere.   So what’s the big fucking deal?   This just sounds like the work of a bunch of ugly smelly hippies who don’t want to be reminded what they look like once they take their ski parka off.   

PS – I love the the chick who says she has an open mind, but seeing a guy standing on a snowboard that has a picture of a hot chick on it is offensive.  Yeah wicked open minded.

Bostonherald.com - Afternoon drive king Glenn Ordway has inked a lucrative deal to stay at sports radio powerhouse WEEI that could also land the talkmeister on TV. Ordway signed a five-year deal with the station worth more than $1 million per year and is negotiating to bring his highly rated “Big Show” to television, sources told the Herald. The TV deal could mean even more money for both Ordway and WEEI-AM (850) owner Entercom. The deal with Entercom includes the likelihood that Ordway’s radio show will be simulcast on a sports cable network, possibly Comcast SportsNet or NESN. Ordway, 57, whose Big Show debuted in 1995, plans to return to WEEI’s airwaves today.  “We were committed to negotiating a new agreement with Entercom,” said Ordway’s agent and attorney, George Tobia. “It was a long and sometimes difficult process for both sides. But in the end, we got a deal that I think will alter the landscape of Boston sports media for years to come.”

Glenn Ordway is going to make a million dollars a year?  Holy shit!   So much for me saying he won’t get a big contract since a monkey can do his job huh?    Granted I still don't think anybody would have followed him if he went somewhere else, but good for him I guess.   Although I must admit this kind of makes me feel like the most underpaid person in the history of Boston.   I mean here we are at the Stool kicking the shit out of WEEI in the 21-35 year old male demo and I’m still driving an Astrovan.   You know what this means don’t you?  Yup, it’s time for the Barstool Sports radio hour to make a comeback! Enough of this low paying “internet” shit.

Umm it looks like somebody at Fox Sports was having a little fun huh?  Because I’m pretty sure that the starting right tackle for Cincinnati is neither Tim Tebow nor Khalil El Amin.   The only thing I don’t get is why put Tebow’s picture with El-Amin’s name?   I think it would have been funnier if it was just straight Khalil El Amin or better yet straight Brian Cardinal from Purdue.  That guy has comedy written all over him.

Thank you for your consideration,

January 9^th?  Really?   Well talk about shitty luck.  I mean of all the fucking days that Bronson Arroyo could have been playing in Boston he picked the same day as our Ski Party at the Harp.   Well I guess that seals it then.   I’m totally fucked!    I mean you can’t compete vs. “the human jukebox”.   You can’t even hope to contain him.    Looks like I’ll be sitting at the Harp picking my ass by myself now.   Wait a minute…Did this say it was 25 bucks a ticket?   BAHAHAHAH!   Phew!  I just assumed this was a free concert in some Northeastern coed’s dorm room or something.  Thank fucking god.  I mean the human jukebox is good, but he ain’t that good.  

Those Green-teamers at Comcast can stop reminding me that the Celtics have the best record in the NBA. This team is playing like shit. I'm no math wiz but if they keep losing 4 out of every 6 games, they won't own the best record for long. When you lose to the Knicks, tt's time to hit the panic button.

This was Amy Winehouse ugly. 6-25 from 3 FG. Ray Allen was 0-9 from three. Kevin Garnett had 6 pts on 1-6 FG and injured his calf/ankle in the second half. Rondo played like me. The Truth tried to carry this team in the 4th quarter, by burying shot after shot over Quentin Richardson and Co. But the Celtics looked like bumbling fools on the other end of the court, crashing into one another, coughing up rebounds and giving up layups.

You know it's bad when Scal plays most of the 4th quarter. I understand Doc was desperately trying to find 5 guys who could play, but there's got to be another option. Oh yeah, the Celtics do have a plan. A guy who the Knicks are paying $20 million to NOT play, will soon be on the roster.

Anyone else sick of those Comcast promos for "Manny Being Manny?" The show sucked. It was all rehash.

ESPN- Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski has been told he will be fired if he interviews for the head coaching vacancy with the New York Jets, according to sources. The interview is scheduled for Monday. Despite the threat from athletic director Gene DeFilippo, Jagodzinski plans to do the interview with the Jets, the sources said. Those sources said that in the event Jagodzinski is fired, BC would promote offensive coordinator Steve Logan to head coach. According to the sources, DeFilippo first told Jagodzinski on Saturday that he would fired if he interviewed and then reinforced the school's position Sunday.

Could there be two worse run football programs than BC and the Jets? Jagodzinski is in the middle of a Perfect Storm of football incompetence. My question is, which team looks worse in this situation? The Jets GM Mike Tannebaum has cast his lot with an untouchable quarterback who's such a pariah that no qualified coach will even consider taking the HC of the NYJs job. So he's been reduced to interviewing Jags just because he once spent one year as the Offensive Coordinator for Green Bay and is willing to carry water for Wyatt Earp Favre and maybe help Tannebaum save face. For the Superfans, you're AD has just established a school policy of firing someone for trying to better himself by advancing his career. Nice concept. That will really help BC attract the top coaching candidates going forward. Because for DiFilippo, it's not about finding a coach who won't get blown out of the ACC title game by 30 points, it's about finding one with no ambition who wants to hang onto the job like he's the pope. Personally, I think this move screws the Superfans even more than the Jets. Best of luck to Steve Logan in next year's Chick-fil-A Bowl.

We're BC! Wah,wah,wah.......

ESPN - Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski has been told he will be fired if he interviews for the head coaching vacancy with the New York Jets, which is scheduled for Monday, according to sources.  Despite the threat from athletic director Gene DeFilippo, Jagodzinski plans to do the interview with the Jets, the sources said. Those sources said that in the event Jagodzinski is fired, BC would promote offensive coordinator Steve Logan to head coach. According to the sources, DeFilippo first told Jagodzinski on Saturday that he would fired if he interviewed and then reinforced the school's position Sunday. Jagodzinski declined to comment when reached by ESPN.  BC spokesman Chris Cameron told ESPN's Joe Schad the school would have no comment. But another BC source said Jagodzinski informed his coaching staff of the development this weekend after at least two discussions with DeFilippo.

BC is going to fire Jeff Jagodzinski if he interviews for an NFL job?   That’s fucking classic!  Honestly who the fuck does Gene DeFilippo think he is?    Dude, you’re fucking BC!   Relax! You’d be doing Jags a favor if you fired him because then he could get out of his contract and go to a real school if the Jets thing doesn't work out.  So instead of making idle threats you should just be thankful that he’s done a good enough job to warrant interest from an NFL team.   Honestly I’ve never heard of anything this stupid in my life.   Since when can’t college coaches interview for NFL jobs?  It’s asinine.   Not to mention the fact that what type of coach would ever be dumb enough to come to BC in the future if they know they’ll get canned for exploring career advancement.   Seriously wake up BC. Obviously coaches that do a good job are going to want to go somewhere else. That's just part of what being a Tier 2 football program is all about. Deal with it.

Naturally this video blew up this weekend. Bottom line is that anytime anybody gets freaky with Erin Andrews that puts asses in the seats. You know Tim Tebow is fucking rip shit with this too because Andrews is his girlfriend/whore. Either way this video sets the whole women getting taken seriously in sports movement back like 2 decades. God Speed Rey Maualuga. God Speed.
