Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

According to Lewis, Brad Pitt's still going to play Billy Beane. But Demetri Martin's out as Paul DePodesta. Instead -- ready for this? -- the ex-football player and Harvard graduate will be portrayed by ... Jonah Hill.

from Dan Hayes:

“It’s such a bizarre concept someone might play you in a movie.”

Totally.

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

Love that man.

He’s pretty much the Joey Cora of acting.

Jonah Hill

that might be dangerous.

I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.

speaking about DePo...

Is he done blogging? It was nice to read a blog from someone who actually knew what was going on in the front office.

Kind of funny that you mention Hamm and Rudd first

Because they are buddies going back to before they had lead roles in movies and tv shows.

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.

Interesting

I was going to say that some movie experience should be required, but he apparently won the Sundance Audience Award and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for his role in Happythankyoumoreplease.

They had Demetri Martin

He didn’t have any acting experience when he was “cast” did he?

by jbox on Mar 8, 2010 3:37 PM PST up reply actions  

No

but Demetri Martin is on a good show.

I'm not going to defend HIMYM

Haven’t seen more than a minute of Martin’s show. I thought some of his stand up was funny 3 years ago.

by jbox on Mar 8, 2010 3:45 PM PST up reply actions  

he was in that Ang Lee movie

but that may have been after he was cast, or at least around the same time.

I don't know any of these actors.

I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?

by tonoxtono on Mar 8, 2010 11:37 PM PST up reply actions  

Most of the actors/actresses around 30 years old and older, I know.

I don’t know any of “young Hollywood.” I guess I’m getting old and don’t care anymore.
