Of Course Vancouver Riot Kissee Alex Thomas Has Facebook, Likes Dire Straits

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 09:39 AM PDT

Pffft, were you expecting a chick laying on her back after getting blasted by a police shield during a riot to not have a Facebook page or not like Dire Straits? Officially say hello to Alex (Alexandra on her Facebook account) Thomas, a British Columbia native who is now being hailed around the world for her moment of innocence and drama. We sent out the I-Team to get more intel on this Thomas chick and see what have had her in the middle of a riot.

The guy Ms. Thomas was being kissed by, Scott Jones, has plans of leaving Vancouver for California with Ms. Thomas in tow, according to Scott’s father who is enjoying the world news circuit.

"I don't think he's come to grips with it. The full force of it is going to hit him today." Dad's advice "would be to take it in his stride and enjoy it while he's got it."

Jones goes from being a nearly non-existent wannabe actor/bartender and into an instant celebrity, but also has concerns about people who think the photo was staged.

Brett Jones has also counselled Scott not to buckle to the doubters, rampant on the skeptical, know-it-all Internet, who say the photograph was staged.

"Tell your story as it happened and there's nothing you can do about them," he told his son. "I think it's amazing."

Now, back to Thomas, who should be getting more pub since she’s the one who was knocked to the ground and seemed to be in distress.

She’s a University of Guelph graduate who lists Chromeo as one of her favorite bands. Makes sense to us. Didn’t exactly think kids caught up in riots were listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash these days.

The requisite Facebook screencaps in case she deep sixes the account today.

Stanley Cup Gets Boston Baby Carriage Ride; Goes Clubbing [Photos]

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 09:00 AM PDT

The photos of Stanley Cup enjoying his time in Boston keep rolling in and, so far, the highlight of his visit has to be Andrew Ference and Zdeno Chara taking the trophy for a stroll in a baby carriage. Twitter dorks went nuts yesterday as Ference, wearing those sweet red pull-on shoes pushed the cart with 6-foot-9 Chara in tow, just taking their time cruising through the city. Something tells us the photos of Stanley being turned into a beer growler are 12 hours away. Tonight in Boston should be insane.

NFL Lockout Time Waster: Packers Superfan Ashlynn Brooke [32 Photos]

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 05:26 AM PDT

We’re about 6 weeks out from the start of NFL training camps and still don’t have a labor deal. At this point we’re running out of lockout stories and stupid updates on Tim Tebow so let’s mix it up today. Burnt Toast Editor Peter Burns suggested we spend some time chatting on Twitter with former porn star Ashlynn Brooke about the Packers and football in general. Great idea! Take the time today to fire off a question to this Oklahoma Sooners & Green Bay fan. A chick talking football to you should ease the pain of this stupid lockout.

Mark Cuban’s Shake Weight & McIlroy Leads At U.S. Open [Burnt Toast]

Posted: 17 Jun 2011 04:02 AM PDT

Burnt Toast

The Greatest Tweets in the History of the Internet* (*In the Last 24 hours)

Balls and Holes Tournament of American States Which Are United

@Vernnnn69: I really don’t give a shit about the us open

Oh America, you are so spoiled. Just because Tiger Woods isn’t playing doesn’t mean golf isn’t worth watching. That’s like saying porn wasn’t good before the internet. Golf was good before Tiger. Porn was good before the internet. Let’s just say both enhanced their respective products. We can’t watch sports without story lines any more. Sad.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Rory McIlroy (-6) has at least a share of the 1st-round lead for the 3rd time in the last 4 majors.

Pretty Pretty Pretty Good……but then there was this…..

@DanGrazianoESPN: I remember this Rory McIlroy guy from 25 years ago. We called him “Greg Norman” back then.
That son of a bitch Norman was a FAILURE!!!! FAILURE I TELL YOU!!!  Sure he had a clothing line, winery, yacht design company, and was worth over $500,000,000. But he choked in the ’96 Masters. A bum in my books.
Mavericks Victory Parade & Mark Cuban Not Sitting Down To Urinate
@SF_Giants: Just over 200,000 people attended the Dallas Mavericks Championship Parade today. Over 1 million were at the #SFGiants Parade. #JustSayin
Aren't people in San Francisco used to parades? #JustSaying
@TalkHoops: TYSON CHANDLER JUST GUARANTEED 5 CHAMPIONSHIPS
Technically, he could be correct. Savvy of Chandler not to specify NBA Championships.
You think Mark Cuban isn't going to enjoy his championship……check out what made his TwitPic account today:

Twitter Potpourri
@Tchoice23: @KingJames U measure a man when his world starts to fall see how tall he stands? Will u have the same swagger when the world laughin at u?
Right after Cowboys RB Tashard Choice tweeted Lebron James, I’m sure he sent him a direct message asking for an autograph
@ProFootballTalk: Plaxico says his legal troubles were “totally blown out of proportion”
Oh Plaxico. Might want to step away from the media interviews for a bit. Pump the brakes and hit the gym. You have a lockout to prepare for.
@JayMohr37: NFL players. When Target has a surplus of revenue, they don’t kick it down to the cashiers. No cashiers, no Target. Plz get back to work.
Only clear winner so far of the NFL Lockout…..Lawyers. Great point by Jay, however the next time I draft Fantasy Cashiers for my Fantasy Retail League, it will be the 1st time.

Former Porn Star Turned Fun Sports Twitterer Follow Of The Day:
@IM_JUST_ASH – Ashlynn Brooke
She’s a HUGE Packers Fan, and now you are as well

In True Cubs Fashion Team Debuts ‘F@#k The Goat’ Shirts [Photos]

Posted: 16 Jun 2011 05:17 PM PDT

The Chicago Cubs are the brown stain on my toilet bowl when I’m done taking a crap… wait, no, it’s not the team that’s the stain, it’s their fans.

Outside of Boston, there aren’t a bunch of insufferable, disgusting, classless pricks who stand up taller game after game than Chicago Cubs fans. I know this, because I spend time in Miller Park, where men play baseball and cunts drive up from Chicago and try to pretend Ed Hardy is still in style.

Anyway, despite the fact I hate Cubs fans more than a double cornhole enema with acid, well… their fifth-place NL Central team wants to blame it on a goat.

This is what happens when you suck balls for the entire history of humanity.

No, seriously, the Cubs haven’t been to the World Series since 1945, which is mainly because of karma. Drive up to Milwaukee and pour beer on upstanding, loyal, patriotic citizens and you get what you deserve — a job a McDonald’s and a wife that weighs in at 240.

Oh, and no World Series since 1945.

So, some of the Cubs — or as most people know them, the Scrubs — have taken to wearing t-shirts that say F the Goat, and not in those words, that has a cartoon goat on it with a slash through it. Several players started wearing the shirts on Tuesday night, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The theory is, the Cubs were cursed by a local who brought a pet goat to Wrigley Field, was denied admission to the ’45 Series and placed a curse on the franchise.

“Do you embrace this, or go we don’t want to talk about this?” manager Mike Quade said. “Me? I don’t care. ? I find the whole conversation comical. I’m not Dr. Phil. Do you embrace it? Do you want to laugh at it? Do you want to hide from it? To me, I come to the park every day. The Girl and the Goat is a restaurant, and that’s all I ever think about. Somebody like (Kerry Wood or Ryan Dempster), guys who have around that deal with this all the time. ? OK, so they come up with a slogan. This is how we’re going to do this.”

Well said, Dr. Phil.

No one has bothered to take into account that the Cubs suck and their fans deserve nothing more than a last-place team.

Sideline Reporter Lauren Gardner Could Be Next Erin Andrews [12 Photos]

Posted: 16 Jun 2011 03:09 PM PDT

Been doing some hiring here at Busted Coverage. Actually went out and found us an editor who will handle “The Next Erin Andrews Hunter” beat. What the hell is that, you ask? Folks, there isn’t a cable operation out there that isn’t looking for a pretty young lass. The days of Lesley Visser lookalikes grilling coaches about halftime adjustments are over. We’re officially opening a consulting business that’ll uncover the hottest, most intelligent sideline talent available.

Today we started sniffing out the scent in Denver where our old friend Peter Burns alerted the Hunter to a possible diamond-in-the-rough who has all the attributes to become the next Erin Andrews.

Meet Lauren Gardner.

The facts as compiled by The Hunter:

• Sexy and easy name to spell, remember, pronounce

• Ex-Broncos cheerleader

• Bikini shoot for Maxim (um, Jenn Brown has a shoot in her history)

• Young, but not so young she chews gum & asks Tebow stupid questions

• Red head (versatile head of hair; have seen it fire red and a softer version that won’t scream Boulder kegger)

• In-game hostess for Broncos

• On-air hockey experience (it’s how Pageviews got her start)

• Captain of softball and dance team! (Think Jenn Brown & Pageviews combo)

• The resume

• A growing, well-used Twitter account

Hunter’s Estimated Hire Date At ESPN or Fox: November, 2012

Hunter’s Expert Analysis: Raw talent. Not afraid of the ‘stage.’ Could use 6-8 months of seasoning at the AAA-level. Early second-round draft pick.

If you are a sideline reporter hopeful that should be on The Hunter’s radar we expect you’ll email us indicating your interest in our FREE scouting services.
