This little 8 year old bitch from China just stole a gold medal from Nastia Liukin and the United States/Moscow based on the weirdest tie break system in the history of civilization. I think it was decided based on who had more vowels in their middle name. Needless to say Bella Karoli is pissed and so is Nastia's dad. I guarantee you if Mr. Liukin was still in the U.S.S.R some judge would be in a gulag getting whipped by now.

Introducing Amanda. Listen I deal with hot girls all the time. But if you don't think I'm intimated by a hot chick wearing a Jamarcus Russell Raiders shirt than you're out of your mind.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times. Local Smokeshow of the Day couldn't exist without submissions from our readers. So get off your ass and send us some hot chicks. All nominations go to randomthoughts@barstoolsports.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo.- An argument between two debate coaches that was caught on video was not the sharp-witted dialogue typically associated with college debate teams. Instead, the two traded profanity-laced barbs and one of them pulled down his shorts, exposing his underwear. "In 18 years of taking part in debates, I have never seen an incident like this one," said Gordon Stables, first vice president of the Cross Examination Debate Association, which sponsored the March tournament in Wichita, Kan., where the argument took place. In the video, Fort Hays State University debate coach William Shanahan is shown arguing with Shanara Reid-Brinkley, debate coach at the University of Pittsburgh, during the competition’s quarterfinals.

Let me just say this. If the movie The Great Debaters even had a 10th of the excitement and intensity of this video it would have swept the Oscars. I mean I was riveted to this for all eight minutes. And just when I thought my faith wouldn't be rewarded for watching the entire video a dude starts crying at the 7 minute mark. That's got to be an automatic DQ right? I mean there is no crying in Debate!

PS - That hippy teacher can debate for me any day. That barrage of mooning people, jumping up and down, screaming, and swearing all with no shoes on is the stuff of legend. I'd love to bring him on couple sales calls with me and see what happens. You don't want to buy an ad? How's my ass in your face taste?

(Going to Mount Isa in our car...M-O-U-N-T-I-S-A)

SYDNEY, Australia —  The mayor of a male-heavy mining town in Australia created uproar among local women over the weekend by inviting "beauty-disadvantaged" women to join the population of lonely men. Mayor John Molony found himself under attack Monday over comments he made to a local newspaper that read: "May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa." The mayor added that many women who already live in the remote Queensland state town seem quite happy. "Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face," he continued. "Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness." The quotes, published Saturday in the Townsville Bulletin, sparked outrage among the town's female population, led to furious online debates and drew criticism from the local chamber of commerce. "We want an apology," local woman Rikki Loccisano told the Brisbane Times.

I don't get what Rikki Loccisano wants an apology for? Sounds to me like Mayor Molony is just doing his job.  And I’m not even being sarcastic. Clearly this town has way more dudes than chicks.  So the Mayor basically tells all the ugly pigs in the area to move to Mount Isa.  It makes perfect sense.   They got so many fucking guys that as long as you got two tits and a pussy you’re golden!  Doesn’t matter whether you’ve beauty disadvantaged or not.    And not only will you get laid which you probably weren’t before, but you'll get treated like a fucking goddess by the blokes in Mount Isa, Am I crazy or does this sound like a classic win, win situation for everyone?  The miners get laid and ugly fat bitches get a chance to see what it feels like to be hot for a change. 

PS – I’m totally stealing that term “beauty disadvantaged” from the Mayor.

I couldn't see below the belt, but I'm pretty sure that Italian chick was fingering Winchester's own Alicia Sacramone against her will! Talk about a rough Olympics....

First of all the host of this show can calm the fuck down with this holier than thou attitude. Because I guarantee you that he is cheating on his wife something fierce. How do I know? Because I recognize a scumbag face when I see one and this guy has a scumbag face. But that's neither here nor there. My question is how can anybody be smart enough to make 25 million but not smart enough to use a condom when banging hookers in Asia? Honestly how fucking dumb do you have to be? Who cares about giving your wife an STD? Aren't you worried about your own dick? I mean I don't like shaking hands with chicks I meet at Waterworks never mind raw dogging Thailand hookers. More importantly let this story be a lesson for all our female stoolies out there. If your boyfriend gives you genital herpes that he caught from hookers in China you should probably dump him. Because if you give him a 2nd chance you're basically begging for the HIV. Who says we don't care about the ladies?

*Granted last night's game was a fiasco, and we could all crash the Panic Party going on over the way the backup QB's have looked. We could envy all those other towns who are carrying experienced, veteran guys on the roster. But I can't get passed the notion that "If our starting QB goes down we won't have much of a drop off" is just a euphemism for "Our starting QB blows."

*Matt Cassel looks like the number two. Well at least he played like number two. Thanks for coming. Tip your waitress.

*It's hard to evaluate Cassel's night. He didn't look good, obviously. The moment he's taken his drop and planted his feet, he either appears to get happy feet and starts bouncing out of the pocket, or he locks his eyes on a receiver like it's the slo-mo teens-falling-in-love-at-the-dance scene from a John Hughes movie. You obviously can't get away with that in the NFL, but if Cassel's going to zero in on somebody, why not just make Randy Moss his Molly Ringwald and throw it to him every time? Throwing to him on every down ought to be enough to move the chains once in a while.

*But somehow Cassel's passing numbers weren't horrible, which led to a moment of unintentional comedy when Sterling Sharpe said "There's been nothing good about Matt Cassel's night. Nothing." then they flashed his numbers, 6 for 8, 57 yards. If Brettfavre had had those stats, NFL Net would've handed him a dozen roses.

*There's been no word as to whether Carmella DeCesare wanted Brettfavre over Jeff Garcia too.

*What was more curious was the way the (essentially) first team defense looked. Granted they were absent both starting safeties and Adalius Thomas and showed their usual preseason vanilla looks, but it appeared like guys were being blown off the line fairly regularly.

*Vince Wilfork was the recipient of a lot of guard/center double teams, capping off a rough couple of weeks for beloved, heavy set black guys (RIP, Bernie and Chef).

BOSTON -- Students from around the globe are flooding to Boston University in record numbers. This fall the school will welcome 444 foreign freshman, a 39 percent increase from last year and the largest number the university has seen. It also surpasses the school's long-term goal for incoming freshmen. Boston University already has one of the largest populations of international students in the country.  The largest number of incoming foreign freshmen hail from South Korea followed by India and China. School officials tell the Boston Globe they hope the trend will continue as they prepare for an expected drop in the number of American high school graduates. The school has also considered offering financial aid to international students.

BU has a 39% increase in foreign students this year?   Are you shitting me?    How is that even possible?     Weren’t they already at 100% foreigner capacity to begin with?  I mean I’m surprised that the Beijing Olympics aren’t holding a couple satellite events at the Agannis Arena.   Regardless you know what this means don’t you?  I’m going to have to get a new engine in the Astrovan so I can get of the blocks when all those BU punks with their souped up BMW’s challenge me on Comm Ave.   I’m sick and tired of getting embarrassed by the Far East.    

PS – Is it too late to invest in the Super 88?

Let me start by saying I LOVE Jimmy Buffett.   I know some people think that makes me lame, but I don't care.  I've gone to his concert for like 10 straight years and I always have an awesome time.   I guess if you don't like the beach, drinking and tailgating then it would kind of suck, but luckily for me I like all of those things.  Anyway I’m probably looking forward to this party more than anything we’ve ever done.    We've hired the Baha Brothers to play which is the best Buffett cover band in the country.  In fact they’ve actually opened for Buffett before at Great Woods and played Margaritaville in Key West.   And before they start at 8pm we’re having a VIP Landshark Lager reception from 7-8pm.  Not to mention we couldn't have a better location for this type of event than Tavern on the Water in Charlestown.  Naturally the Barstool Girls will be their in beach attire and we encourage everybody to come in beach garb.  Personally I think this has all the makings to be more fun than the actual concert which is fighting words.   In addition Landshark will be giving away tickets to the real concert on Labor Day Weekend. 

Please make sure to RSVP for this party to landshark@barstoolsports.com. You must be on our list to get in. And as an FYI, we expect to reach capacity so try and get there early to make sure you get in.    Doors open at 7.    And we are going to keep this 50/50 male to female ratio. So if you're group has girls in it you will get preference.

What: Jimmy Buffet Landshark Lager Party

Where: Tavern on the Water in Charlestown

When: Tuesday August 26th

Time: 7pm

Band: BAHA Brothers come on at 8pm

There are very few things that can make me stay up to watch the Olympics but Bella Karoli is one of them. I love listening to him rip apart everybody who isn't American in his broken English. The guy almost started crying last night talking about how Alicia Sacramone got screwed out of a bronze medal. And the dynamic with him and Bob Costas is priceless. I'm not the biggest Costas fan on the planet but the way he handled that last question was perfect.

Bella - "So double heartache...Why...Why does this have to be this way?"

Costas - We'll have to leave that as a rhetorical question...

This video just proves what I've always said about fat guys. Everything they do is funny. I mean if this is a skinny guy, you don't even think of making a youtube of it nevermind having it appear on the Stool. But fat guys put asses in the seats. They always have, they always will...

Newsobserver.com - Blake is 16, resides in North Raleigh and lives to play video games. On this night, he's at the Fox and Hound in Raleigh's North Hills shopping district. It's the restaurant's regular Sunday "Guitar Hero" night, and Blake and his family have come to watch and play. His brother and sister are here, as are his mom and dad, an aunt and an uncle, some cousins and some friends.  This is not a competitive environment, so the score hardly matters. But his attitude about it underscores some Peebles family truisms: Blake is so dedicated to gaming that his parents let him quit school so he can better concentrate on it. They pay for home tutors instead. Mom and Dad do this, even though there are very few people in this country who make their living playing competitive video games.  That is not to say that it was an easy decision for them to let Blake leave school last September. They would have preferred that he stay in high school with his brother. But he bugged them until they let him quit.  "We couldn't take the complaining anymore," says Hunter. "He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time." Blake has done well in local tournaments, including one held at a Chick-fil-A that earned him 52 combo meals.

Listen I know great parenting when I see it and this is great parenting!   I mean what are you supposed to do when your kid won’t stop bugging you to quit school and become a full time Guitar Hero player?    Sure you could be a hard ass and make your kid get an “education,” but then you’d have to put up with the nagging.  No fucking thanks.  This is a win, win for everybody.    And the proof is in the pudding.  Kid won 52 combo meals at Chick-fil-A.   I’d like to see the dorks in honors Algebra class do that. 

If you're like me , you have a First Lady who is making you watch the Olympics on the Oxygen Network because of their women friendly Olympic programming. (AKA Equestrian) Well the one good thing about getting dominated by my girlfriend is that Lindsay Czarniak is the host on Oxygen and she's pretty freaking hot. And since I'm sure it's only a matter of time until she moves to Boston like all the hot blond sports reporters tend do, I figured I should introduce her to the Stoolies.
