Mandarich--that's the speculation, but why would he get off the juice? They tested as much in teh NFL as in college then, no? I assumed it was like several prominent linemen--the blocking schemes in college are easier because the linebackers aren't nearly as quick. As soon as you need lateral mobility, not sheer pushing strength, you may have a tough time.

I wouldn't disagree, but didn't he drop like 50 pounds after the combine? I just assumed either (i) he thought that once he was in, he was in and so, only juiced to get his contract or (ii) the steroids were endangering his life.

Shit, I'd take it. And he was the STAR of Stone Cold. You forget the power of the blond mullet, my friend.

Damn, my first and middle names are on that list. My little sister's first and middle names are on that list. My older sister's first name is on there - under a different spelling. Thankfully none of us are bold or italicized.

No. If she'd had a stripper/porn star name, I think I would have just gone ahead and killed myself right then and there.

It's hard to avoid the boy's names list without going completely off the reservation (unless you're going "ethnic").

Not at all. Just look at recent Presidents and VPs - no George or Richard, and while William makes it, Al doesn't (in any of its forms). James and Robert are there, but not Walter. No Gerald, Nelson or even Spiro. Even if we go back to FDR, there is no Franklin there, nor any Harry Truman namesakes.

And no Steve, Steven or Stephen.

I think you want to be on the list (it's the top 100 after all). Maybe it would be best to have first name on the list, and a middle name not on the list. That way you can switch to the middle name if you want uniqueness. Readers of the parent's board know this was the Hank approach to baby naming.

Born with glitter. GO. I tend to associate Jasmine more with Disney princesses than with sluts, but that's a result of having daughters (both on the list, but neither bold nor italics).

Now that I think about it, Disney could have a pretty good stable of strippers with Jasmine, Belle, Aurora (or Briar Rose, for that matter)...

All three of my daughters make the list, but none are bolded or italicized.

When it comes to gawking at Disney princesses during breakfast at Cinderella's Castle in Disney World, my brother tells me that Jasmine is by far the hottest. The outfit is key.

When I was growing up, I was surrounded by Jennifers and Tammys and Tanyas and Wendys and my name was relatively uncommon. Where are they now? Why does no one call their kid Jennifer anymore? It's not like there's a dearth of them in the entertainment industry.

Is one of these methods on the approved list for "offing" one's self in such a situation?

She's hottest at the Disneyland character brunch, too. And she's teamed with Alladin, who had most of the moms (milf and non-milf alike) gawking pretty good.

Last year would pull in Larry Brown- lord only knows how he might have messed with McGrady- so I'll answer it for this year.

A wing rotation of McGrady/Rip with Prince off the bench would be scary. No one gives McGrady credit for his defense, which is real strong. No question the Pistons become unstopable- except for the "if" on solid point guard, and one other thing.

Billups is right now playing the best ball on a team that is the best. Does the amount T-Mac improves them equal the step down to whoever they get? Chauncey is one of the best points, and I can't think of one the Pistons would trade for him. It would be a big step down. I just don't think Dumars pulls the trigger at 25-4.

And there is also the possible chemistry fucking that could come up. He took the Rasheed gamble because he had to to get there. The Pistons are there, so Joe might not want to roll the dice- even if there is no apparent possible baggage with Tracy.

But it doesn't warrent further thought because I said the other 29 teams (which would include Houston) would not make the trade.

I won't argue that too much.

Two things, though. 1) The Pistons are not the best team in the league. San Antonio is and I don't care what their respective records are. It's like when the Bulls cruised during the regular season and got serious in the playoffs. I don't think anyone can beat the Spurs (except maybe a healthy, Miami squad -- but I'm hoping the Payton* curse ruins them).

2) I don't like their new high-scoring style and Flip Saunders isn't exactly a playoff coach. Sure, it's great for the regular season, but defenses clamp down in the playoffs and the running will stop. To be sure, the Pistons have proven they can win at a slower pace, but will Flip have them ready? Can they win in the playoffs with this style?

*I hate Gary Payton. I want to smack him when he's chewing on that fucking gum. I hope he always remembers asking Jordan to autograph shit for him before the Finals started and hearing Jordan say over and over in his sleep, "As soon as Gary asked me for an autograph, even though it wasn't for him, I knew I had him beat...had him beat...had him beat..."

I have friends who went to Oregon State and played pick-up games with Payton. Got to where most people would leave rather than play with him. No fun to play with the whiney little bitch.

Top 100 baby names for 2005. I am happy to report the Brazenette's first and middle names are absent from the list.

As are my first and middle names, for the record.

eta: oh my stars... Trinity, Destiny and Brooklyn all make the list. We are birthing a generation of strippers.

I noticed that Juan (54 in 2004) and Jose (28 in 2004) were missing from the list. Also missing from 2004's Social Security top 100 names of 2004 were Angel, Alejandro, Adrian, Julian, Jesus, Carlos, Diego, Jesse, and Miguel.

I'm guessing that than 320,000 BabyCenter members that make up the the largest private list available in the United States doesn't include a key baby naming demograpic. Either that or immigration policy has dramatically changed in the last year and I hadn't noticed.

You're right. My husband and I were just chatting about this. Other names not on the list (and not trendy or gimmicky) include: Edward, Mark, Phillip, Douglas and Timothy.

PS. Henry is on the list! (Harry Truman wasn't called Henry, though, was he?)

The next generation of strippers will likely go by names such as Jane, Mary and Elizabeth.

ETA: My older boy's middle name makes the list, as do both the first and middle names of my younger boy. If my next one is a boy, his name is on the list too!!! I'm so common. If the next one is a girl, however, she's not making the list.

I didn't see Zemod there anywhere. Do I have the right link?
