A serious journalist, seriously getting her pout on.

St. John’s curb-stomped Duke in what had to be the most entertaining game of the year for non-Duke fans. It just goes to show how truly awful the ACC is this year. An NIT level Big East team was really that much of a step up from the competition the Blue Devils had been facing in conference play.
Is it journalistically unethical for Erin Andrews to pimp sneakers for Reebok? Considering she’s making a living as eye-candy, rather than as an actual journalist, I say go for it.
Blake Griffin’s girlfriend is absolutely unreal. Seriously, she doesn’t exist.
Players who have been to a Super Bowl agreed that no amount of preparation is ever enough to counter the overwhelming fan expectations or the sight of one’s own flesh melting like candle wax and recasting itself into the horrifying shapes of monstrous boars and extra-dimensional lobsters.

It’s finally Friday. I wish I had something nice to give you to mark the occasion, but all I have are slightly vulgar, mildly humorous videos. I hope you understand.

Good luck with that paper. You’ll need it. [Probably NSFW]

Oscar Nominations Are Out!

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Peno Noir

The nominees for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced early yesterday morning, and as usual there are some surprises and some snubs. Here’s a quick run through of the major categories.

Best Picture:

The Social Network, Black Swan, True Grit, The King’s Speech, Inception…. pretty much all you need to know. The rest were just filler because the academy decided last year to expand the category from 5 films to 10 films.

Best Actor:

Javier Bardem, Jeff Bridges, Colin Firth, Jesse Eisenberg, James Franco.

Where’s Leonardo DiCaprio? Why does the Academy hate him so much? And where’s Marky Mark?

Best Actress:

Annette Bening, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams

The Academy took out Halle Berry and placed in Golden Globe Best Actress in a Comedy/musical nominee Annette Bening. Other than that, it’s the nominees for Best Actress- Drama for the Golden Globes.

Best Director:

Darren Aronofsky – Black Swan, The Coen Brothers – True Grit, David Fincher – The Social Network, Tom Hooper – The King’s Speech, David O. Russell – The Fighter

Are you kidding me? No Christopher Nolan? Seriously?!

There’s your quick and dirty rundown of the main 4 categories for the 2011 Oscars. Check back for movie reviews of some of the Best Picture nominees, and see who the Jerks’ pick for the awards. Don’t forget to mark your calendars: Sunday February 27, 8/7 central, the awards will be handed out.

It took you a second to make sure it was fake, right?

Charles Barkley was offended by the vagina references directed at Jay Cutler. Well, I’m offended by Chuck’s old man fetish, so let’s call it even.
Ochocinco No Mo’? Chad has decided that he likes Johnson again. That’s what she said.
It turns out Tiger Woods has a sense of humor after all. Here’s the clip in question for you n00bs.
The happy football life of former Gator Will Hill. Is honesty really the best policy?
A British man is set to be a grandfather at 29. Isn’t procreation awesome?
It’s the United States of Shame. What does your state suck at?
I can’t tell if this is funny or ironic or neither:

The hat has little horns on the top of it. I know bats don’t really have horns, but work with me here.

It turns out that Jay Cutler has a sprained MCL and not a dislocated vagina. Good for him?
Not even two hours after our poll was posted, #2 Pitt lost to Notre Dame. You can always count on Pitt to be Pitt.
Who cares about basketball when you can watch Kim Kardashian’s booty? Not these guys…
Is Auburn the worst major conference basketball team ever? I would say yes, but the transitive property tells me that Auburn > Florida State > Duke.
A judge rules that a white girl suspected of murder will now be tried as a black adult. She’s going to make some cellmate very happy.

Some matchups always end up the same in the Big East

Posted on January 24, 2011 by Shred Torn

…in terms of teams that aren’t bottom feeders when they play each other. I had a strong feeling that Notre Dame was going to win tonight, and felt that this prophecy is the same every year. You might as well throw out the results of these matchups.

Syracuse
-always loses to Pitt, Louisville, Villanova
-always beats Marquette, Notre Dame, Georgetown, West Virginia

Pittsburgh
-always loses to Notre Dame, Marquette
-always beats Syracuse, Georgetown, Cincinnati

Villanova
-always loses to West Virginia, Georgetown
-always beats Syracuse

UConn
-always loses to Georgetown, Providence, Notre Dame
-always beats West Virginia

Louisville
-always loses to Georgetown
-always beats Syracuse, West Virginia

Georgetown
-always loses to West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Syracuse
-always beats UConn, Villanova

West Virginia
-always loses to Syracuse, UConn, Louisville
-always beats Georgetown, Villanova

So don’t be surprised if you see several games follow the trends again this year. ESPN analysts apparently don’t notice this, so keep an eye out for yourself.

EJSIC College Basketball Top 25 — Week 12

Posted on January 24, 2011 by Flop

Hey, remember Basketball Polls? We still do those here, right? For this week at least, the EJSIC Top 25 makes its triumphant return. Obviously, a lot has changed since we last touched base. There are only two undefeated teams left as Duke, Syracuse, and Kansas have all taken a loss (or two) over the past couple weeks. The resulting carnage has left us believing that Pitt and Ohio State are actually national title contenders. Don’t worry, though. This too shall pass.
