Yes, I’m shameless when it comes to finding content.
So, ladies, People Magazine.com asks, who would you rather date, Nick Swisher or A-Rod?
Now there’s a tough choice.
Meanwhile, if you’re the person who got fired by HBO this morning for suggesting that Artie Lange would be a good guest on Joe Buck’s first show, here’s wishing you well.
If you didn’t see it, Tivo the next showing. But make sure your kids are out of earshot.
Its on youtube Pete. Man was that hilarious or what!
I was watching that live and just didnt get it. Im fine with edgy comedy but Artie just try to ambush the show. It seemed like he really was trying ruin any chance of the show being successful.
A-Rod and it’s not even close.
Can we get a youtube link?
Is that a serious question? Swisher all the way!
What, am I banned now?
Deadspin has a good take on the Joe Buck Show:
“In short, Artie Lange did exactly what you invite Artie Lange on stage to do.”

Ok, here it goes, one more time.
For the men, do you date:
Emmanuelle Chriqui, Megan Fox, Paz Vega, or for the blonde lovers, I don’t know, Heather Graham.
Paz with Emmanuelle in a close second.
I’ve tried 5 times to post. Oh well. Wanted to get a poll for the men going on who they’d date. Never mind.
Well, we know one’s a cheat, so I’m suspicious of the ladies who choose A-Rod. Laura gets a pass though because she loves Madonna. Somehow, that makes it halfway ok.

Neither. One is too serious, the other is too goofy. And Swisher chews, no?
More choices, please.
I so disagree with “artie did what he was brought to do”. I have sirius and xm and he is on the sports shows as a guest all the time and is never that raunchy because he is a serious sports fan. Satellite radio and hbo have the same freedom when it comes to language so why would he be any different on tv? He just felt like being a jerk for some reason. The lighting the cigarette was so unneccessary. He just wanted to get some publicity and didnt care how badly it would affect Joe Buck’s career. Again I am not offended by raunchy humor at all. I just didnt get Artie’s angle.
Oy.
“Well, we know one’s a cheat, so I’m suspicious of the ladies who choose A-Rod. Laura gets a pass though because she loves Madonna. Somehow, that makes it halfway ok.”
Well, thanks Stultus ! Alex is a huge cheat, but he’s way better looking than Swisher is. And do I even have to mention his bank account?
“More choices, please.”
What about Tex? He’s not traditionally gorgeous, but there’s something sexy about him. I think it’s the way he plays 1B. That is such a turn on!
Not a tough choice for me – Alex easily.
Who’s Joe Buck? What is an Artie Lange?
How about that HP umpire from this weekend, ladies? He looked like someone that hangs out at Sunset Beach.
Love the last lines of that deadspin article:
“This is just too perfect. One show in, Joe Buck, guardian of middle-American virtue, has already found something about which to moralize: His own goddamn show.”
I can’t stand Joe Buck.
“Who’s Joe Buck? What is an Artie Lange?”
Wow, you are really showing your age, old man.
“Who’s Joe Buck? What is an Artie Lange?”
I’d blame in on rabbit ears not getting cable. Then again, rabbit ears get nothing anymore.
Artie Artie Artie. What a disaster that was. lol
Alex or Swisher.
I gonna have to say Alex. Yeah, Alex cheats, but I at least can steal his credit card and do some of my own kind of damage to him.
Now if this was Alex/Swisher/Nady, I would so choose Nady. He is fiiine
“How about that HP umpire from this weekend, ladies? He looked like someone that hangs out at Sunset Beach.”
The guy from Sunday’s game? I noticed him as well. He was a hottie, which is strange because umps aren’t usually sexy. I especially liked how he punched out Cora on that questionable check swing.
Not only was Artie’s schtick unnecessary but he was really trying to ruin the show. I bet he gets annoyed when someone interrupts him when he’s doing standup. I think maybe Artie is either going through some withdrawl or fallen into old habits again.
Triple whammy on dan patrick today, complete with audio (and video of Lange on Buck’s show). Lange, Selig (whining about baseball and steroids), and Smoltz (pitching next week).

Oy again.
“Now if this was Alex/Swisher/Nady, I would so choose Nady. He is fiiine”
Yes, I’d take Nady over Alex as well. It would be close, but Nady’s sexy eyes would win out. Of course, my ultimate man is Markakis. He beats them all. Why isn’t that guy a Yankee? Ugh!
Laura – All we are saying is give Wang a chance!

Joe Buck is the most dispicable type of human. He’s still sucking the life out of his late father. If not for the father, I could ask that question, and everyone else would say the same thing. He got his job because of his father….not talent. Much like the Cary Clan.
First, if the story is up-to-date on the Wang Family – Congratulations!
Second, given the choice between those two and ONLY those two, it would have to be Swisher. I have to believe he’d be more fun, and you wouldn’t have to deal with other women trying to edge their way in so much. He’s cute-ish and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. (Don’t like that he chews, either, mel.)
At least with Swish I wouldn’t have to worry that his cell phone is going to play “Material Girl” and he’s suddenly going to remember he has something important to do.
Alex. It would be fun to talk to him for a few hours and try to figure out the person not the image.
Besides, I’ve dated frat boys, I’ve never dated someone who has their own jet.

=================================
I agree about Markakis. That man needs to be a Yankee. Yum
i love artie lange!
Sony,
I think he has “Superstar”.
Laura,
Yes, that guy. Not my type, but when you see someone that good looking in baseball you take notice. lol.
Not your typical looking ump, for sure.

I think I touched a nerve. LOL! I’m sorry to say that I’m not familiar with his Dad so I don’t know if he’s sucking the life out of him or not. As for Joe, I only think of him in the context of his game calling with McCarver. Given the choice, I’d rather listen to him than McCarver…but that’s not really saying much, is it?
Laura, sorry to tell you that Tex is taken. He’s a married dude.
His name is (of all things) Jim Wolf!!!!!
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/.....8/3057.jpg
Just read his bio. Randy Wolf’s brother. “Married to Lara.”
“Not your typical looking ump, for sure.”
Not even close. He looked more like a lifeguard to me for some reason.

What a coincidence… I dated some airline stewardesses but never a sorority girl.
I dont love Joe buck… but why do people hate him so much? Ever think that he became a broadcaster to follow in the footsteps of his father? Did you see the look on his face when Paul Rudd was talking about how he admired his father? Wasnt it pretty genuine?
“What about Tex? He’s not traditionally gorgeous, but there’s something sexy about him.”
There’s probably 180 million sexy things about him, no?
“Laura, sorry to tell you that Tex is taken. He’s a married dude.”
Yeah, I know. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t find his defense “sexy”.
Swish or A-Rod? Not exactly inspiring choices. If they’re going with single Yankees why isn’t Derek a choice (not that I personally find him attractive but clearly lots do), or is he considered taken by Minka Kelly?
“There’s probably 180 million sexy things about him, no?”
vin, are you trying to imply that women are attracted to men with lots of money?
Who told you?
Just checked the other thread. Did Mrs. Wang give birth? If so, congrats to them.

His father was Jack Buck, voice of the St. Louis Cards since Marconi invented the radio, but, mainly, he was The Voice Of Sports in the midwest.
The Joe Buck Show was an absolute train wreck. Especially the last seg with Artie, Jason Sudakus, and Paul Rudd.
Even the Chad 85 and Michael Irvin part was lame. What was the point?
I always liked Moose’s looks. I guess that’s more the type I’m attracted to. Definitely clean cut and boyish looking.
I would rather go out with Johnny Damon. He is already my pretend boyfriend
“His father was Jack Buck, voice of the St. Louis Cards since Marconi invented the radio, but, mainly, he was The Voice Of Sports in the midwest.”
Oh, okay. The way Artie spoke about him on Buck’s show, he must have been a colorful character.
“I would rather go out with Johnny Damon. He is already my pretend boyfriend”
The poll was about the single guys. Damon is married so we can’t truly consider him. But you seem happy with him as your pretend boyfriend so it’s all good.
Yeah, I know. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t find his defense “sexy”.

Absolutely. Knock yourself out. (I don’t know how to put in a smiley face but imagine one here.)
Joe Buck’s call of David Tyree’s Superbowl catch shows just how dull he is as a broadcaster. A friend of mine still has the game on his DVR, and he had me re-watch it. I ignored the call at the time because of what was going on in the game, but his dull ho-hum delivery of it irritated me.
There’s a lot of things not to like about the guy. He kind of reminds me of Sterling, in that I get the sense that he feels that people tune in to listen to him.
Show business and nepotism go hand in hand. Is it really surprising Buck stinks and has a job?
It’s the way it goes.
“What is an Artie Lange”
I think it’s the song people sing on new years eve?
McCarver or Buck?
Sorry, couldn’t resist…
I would settle for Starbucks with Jeter.
“Show business and nepotism go hand in hand.”
And politics,journalism and business too.
buck S*cks and the buck voices do too, terrible, like the carey voices, are terrible for the profession, yet their names are huge in the profession. nepotism nepotism thats the way of the world, not what ya know but who ya know
If my only choice is Swisher or A-Rod, I would need to go with Swisher. Swish makes me laugh. Plus, I could never date A-Rod just for the fact that in the Details spread he was wearing more make up than me
“Absolutely. Knock yourself out. (I don’t know how to put in a smiley face but imagine one here.)”
Ed, to make a smiley face, you put : followed by ). To stick your tongue out, you put : followed by a capital P. To wink at your fellow bloggers, you put the word wink in between two : . Same thing to laugh out loud, but instead of the word wink, use lol. Hope that helps.
Swisher for sure. Who wants Madonna’s or Kate “washed-up” Hudson’s sloppy seconds?
Golf Post?!!!
apparently 58 % of the women voters
ok, Laura….now how do you get bold type?

Good one, Tom! Or perhaps, was he a psychologist who studied schizophrenia????
Thanks, Laura. That’s one of those things that you always wonder …
Artie was funny as hell on that show. The only place he lost his way was the amount of time it took him to tell the joke about Buck’s father. the punchline was funny though.
The best part of the show was the segment that aired on HBO.com. Buck played along and Rudd and the dude from SNL woke up. As soon as the show went off the air they all acted more like their normal personalities.
I know Pete was being sarcastic, but this is a difficult choice for me. A-Rod is hotter, but Swisher seems like so much fun! I guess Alex because he seems smarter. Not smart in the way he manages his life, obviously, but he does have a brain in his head somewhere.
With Swish you may live longer,no std’s.Arod is loose!
As an Artie (and Stern) fan, I just hope this means that Artie is not once again riding the white pony.
“With Swish you may live longer,no std’s.Arod is loose!”
This is so hypocritical. I don’t even have to explain why.
Speaking as someone who is very secure in himself, I’d go with Swisher. He’s fun, he appears to be low maintenance, and he’s very respectful of the people who raised him.
Alex seems to be very serious, all about himself, and very high maintenance. Good for a “fling” but not a long term relationship.
besides, if you have kids with Alex, do you really want “Uncle Boras” hanging around?
Having said all this, I will promptly light myself on fire and go look at pics of Megan Fox.
“ok, Laura….now how do you get bold type?”
Put an asterisk around the world you want to bold. One before the word and one after it, no spaces.
world=word
Cerevelli ,Cerevelli,Cerevelli,ooh la la.
Megan Fox use to be hot, but even now she has turned near drug addict looking, I’d suggest you look at Bar Raffaeli, Maryse Ouellet from WWE or 90210′s Jessica Lowndes or Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester
or Dominique Swain

I honestly don’t know what to do with this post. I’ll just move on to the next one.
*Brandon ! “B/c the Yankees don’t believe in young and athletic in the OF” *
If we are discussing WWE Divas, Melina + Mickie > everyone else.
*katie *
I have a friend who looks exactly like Cervelli. We even make jokes about it now when ‘Cisco has a good day.
I think both have their qualities. Arod is obviously good looking, Swish has a great personality, so I think it’s just up to what you are are in the mood for that day.
“If we are discussing WWE Divas, Melina + Mickie > everyone else.”
Maryse over all
But Mickie James is definitely fine, she needs to go back to the skirt wearing version.
Another fine but young girl is Kelly Kelly.
*Brandon ! “B/c the Yankees don’t believe in young and athletic in the OF”*
Lita and Trish > Everyone else. Well, Stephanie. I have a soft spot for Stephanie.
Big boobs who could forget her. Trish was in a league of her Lita faded away but still hot.
I’d have a hard time choosing between
Trish,Mickie James,Maryse and Kelly Kelly…Oh lord would that be heaven, throw in Layla w/ straight hair and that Brooke girl that left.
continue this in New thread
Hey Pete thanks for the shout out for pointing you towards that link.
Swisher is a “friend” of mine on FB and it was sent to me and I voted…..def for Swisher, dating A-Rod is like, “how are you going to hide me from everyone”…Swish would be proud to show who he was dating and prob be tons of fun:)
Laura,
I love that UMP! He is such a hot tamale! I swore I saw him on the beach somewhere!
Swisher. He’s not as rich or as good looking as Arod (who can be too pretty at times IMO – i.e. highlights), but his fun personality more than makes up for that.
Although, if the poll was open to all of the single Yankees, Derek would be my #1 pick.
i hope the buck show gets cancelled. has to be the non-sports guy in sports that i loathe the most.
as for swish vs arod? did they have to use a frosted-tips a-rod pic?
and not that i go around judging the handsomeness of men, and not that there’s anything wrong with that, but i think cervelli may be the best looking yank.
DkNNy79,
the article acknowledged that most all women would pick DJ, taking him out of the equation, who would u pick – that’s the point of the article
I vote Swish!
I vote Swish!
swish, no contest.
Silliest post ever.
But if I were still young, I would pick Swish. Don’t like men who are prettier than me.
Both! No! not at the same time

OMG I love that kid!
Didn’t understand the Joe Buck show at all. The segment with Favre was good, but the others did not make sense.
Artie Lange is not a cup of tea for everyone. However, if Joe Buck is as big a fan of Howard Stern and Artie Lange as he says he is in several interviews then what did he expect was going to happen.
Just what were Lange, Paul Rudd and Jason Sudekis doing on his show. It seemed like it was some lame segment because Rudd and Buck grew up together…
Swisher!
He’s cute and has a great personality.
