Marko Jaric: a better day than Sasha Vujacic
Posted on June 13th, 2008 – 1:20 PMBy Michael Rand
We saw this last night and giggled. Thanks to the miracle of the Youtubes, you can spend 11 seconds and giggle, too, at the Lakers’ Sasha Vujacic going bonkers and (in our minds) covering his face with a towel to hide the tears. It’s all right to cry. Crying gets the sad out of you. It’s also OK to cry when you realize Marko Jaric is marrying a Brazilian supermodel.

For the folks who complain about the FAN, ‘CCO-AM, AM1500, and every other broadcast media outlet in the metro (yes, I am one)(with the notable exception of RandBites, I guess): It Could Be Worse.
It’s been a big week for crying what with Parker Brothers having a screaming fit and crying, and now Vujacic having a screaming fit and crying. Who will be the next to have a screaming fit and cry?
My money is on Rand at his golf outing.
Vujacic is how I would imagine some sort of rare genital deformity to be spelled.
Marko Jaric is simply the latest example of the Ric Ocasek Corollary, which clearly states:
This phenomenon has come under fire in recent years due to the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie coupling, but most scienticians agree that the award-winning “Liv Tyler and The Dude from Spacehog: What the Hell? No, Seriously.” white paper settled the matter.
If we are going to rip Milton don’t we have to at least mention how Livan had some choice words for the Indians broadcasters last night?
No, okay.
Stu, I thought it was settled when Julia Roberts married the ugliest man on earth

I was only including Milton in the conversation because he cried after his explosion. If I had heard that Livan cried as well, he would have been in the list.
On another note: I’m totally looking forward to the first installment of the comments of the week to inform our COW voting.
What’s the ETA for that post, Rand?
Seriously, when is Adriana Lima going to start spending some more time in the Twins Cities?
Great quote from Marko
“I was not the person to fall in love easily. I am a difficult person from that standpoint,” Jaric told People in March. “Now, it’s a little different situation.”
I guess one of the 10 hottest women on the planet, who also happens to be a multi-millionaire will change your perspective on love. Can you really blame him?
Stu, I thought it was settled when Julia Roberts married the ugliest man on earth
1. Julia Roberts is not a supermodel, technically.
2. I like Lyle Lovett, so I let him slide.
I didn’t know that Sam Cassel was married to Julie Roberts. When did that happen?
On a more serious note, RIP Charlie Jones
I think the the Ric Ocasek Corollary has been around forever. Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, even though the Odyssey states that “the great minstrel Hephaestaus resembles Carrot-Top’s butthole”.
Stu:
Liv Tyler is also not a supermodel…from what I know. Unless you want to count her taking pictures with Alicia Silverstone in the gas station photobooth in the video for “Crazy”… Which you might. Hell, I might, too.

Ha! +1 Clarence. If you haven’t wrapped up the COW this week Tim Donaghy must be officiating the voting.

My grandma would have substituted “Scottie Pippen” for “Sam Cassell”. Besides we all know Sam Cassell is an alien, so I’m not sure if he can be counted as one of the ugliest things on Earth. Or, if I was to be more correct, I would say that Lyle Lovett is the ugliest man of Earth.
David: the Wiki says she started modeling at 15.
At some point, you’ll realize that I do think these things through before posting them. Then you may feel free to call the appropriate authorities.

I thought of the whole “Sam Cassel is an alien” piece but in my mind aliens are above humans. So I can’t imagine any respectable alien agreeing to come off the bench in the NBA finals. Therefore Sam Cassel is either not an alien or he is an alien with no self respect. You make the call.
However, she became bored with her modeling career less than a year after it started
Yeah, me too.
I tired quickly of the life of a musical instrument and running model.
alien with no self respect.
I don’t know, I just think he’s an alien who is unfamiliar with our ways on Earth. He just wants to fit in. He tries his best to hide his glowing finger and chest, but we all know he was responsible for Paul Pierce’s “miracle recovery” a couple games ago.
Matt’s right, by the way. Growing up, the 3:00 AFC Game was always:
*Denver, San Diego or Oakland playing somebody or each other.
*A shootout.
*Penalty-filled.
*If played in Oakland, the scene of a bleacher matricide.
*Broadcast by Charlie Jones
I hate getting old. RIP seconded.
Speaking of RIP, Tim Russert, too? Geez.
Russert? Wow!
All those people yelling at him finally put him over the edge. Damn Republicans*
*If you are a Republican this can be replaced by Democrats.
Other breaking news:
RB punching bag R. Kelly has been acquitted of all charges.
I think KSK pushed Russert to the edge.
But seriously, that is extremely sad and totally unexpected. I can’t imagine the scene at NBC, where he was about as big a name as they have.
And they’re evacuating Des Moines, apparently.
Doesn’t anyone know that Friday afternoon is supposed to be a slow news period?
Evacuating Iowa is the best idea ever.
Great quote from Marko
“I was not the person to fall in love easily. I am a difficult person from that standpoint,” Jaric told People in March. “Now, it’s a little different situation.”
Jama, that quote stuck out to me too. I just figured that whoever wrote it left out part of the quote. It was probably more like “Now it’s a little different situation, because soon the drugs I slipped her will wear off.”
According to Deadspin, Marko’s is engaged to a virgin.
Numerous jokes aside (Coach Wittman: “Marko’s going to have to play the point on this one.” etc…), I’m impressed someone in the recent history of the NBA, someone other than A.C. Green managed to be celibate for more than nine months.
Question (and at my age, this isn’t a big deal): Would you fellas hold out for a year for a Ms. Lima?
(I guess at my age that is a big deal.)
Correction: “Marko is engaged to a virgin.”
Fired my proofreader last week.
