Visit this Sports Illustrated photo page of Matt Leinart and Nick Lachey clowning around during a shoot. Now right-click on the photo, do a "save image as" and enjoy an SI staffer's opinion of this duo.

Awesome. But it begs the question -- Why were you trying to save this? Huh? Huh?

True. One could always right-click and hit "View Properties" if they weren't collecting things.

Either way, makes me wonder what's going on with magazines today. It's no wonder the kids are so into drugs. It's impossible to get them to sit down a read a book, no matter how good the reviews. Makes me think the future is in movies.

Now right-click on the photo, do a "save image as" and enjoy an SI staffer's opinion of this duo. They must have changed it because it now comes up as "lachey", which isn't really much to snicker at...

It said 'douche' before and it was gleeful. It was also on Fark, so you know traffic was insane.

At least now we know that they were calling Lachey a douche and not Leinart.

Simpson was not paid for the program, Mahr said. "Basically O.J. Simpson has decided to do this because he wants to do it, and he wanted to have fun with it," Mahr said. Translation: He's being paid under the table through an third-person corporation using foreign currency in an off-shore account.

Further translation: OJ's a prick.

Speaking of OJ (sorta)... Watching Tom Cruise is now like trying to watch the Nordberg scenes in the hilarious Naked Gun movies. Tom’s now in The Pile with Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson, Jane Fonda and director Roman Polanski where patronizing their works feels like enabling.

Well that was one of the movies. I also liked Cocktail a lot, too. Bryan Brown was great in that. I won't go see MI:3. I refused to unless someone would tell me if he died in it.

"Wayne Gretzky indicated last week that talks about returning as Coyotes’ coach were “going very well.” We hear that it’s virtually a done-deal and, yes, The Great One will be back behind the Phoenix bench for at least 2006-2007." So who is he talking to, his reflection in the mirror?
