Yesterday, together as a joint effort, we and SAC cleared the most majestic hedge fund in all the land of any possible wrongdoing vis-à-vis the insider trading case du jour. First, the firm conducted its own thorough investigation of the trades in question (and found no evidence of shady dealings). Then, we came along and finished things off with a brief but clear message: nobody fucks with the king. Nothing else needed to be said but unfortunately, some people felt the need to pipe up and remind everyone that “the determination by the big hedge fund is preliminary because a number of the stocks involved in the insider-trading case remain secret as criminal and civil investigations continue.” Obviously these people, and maybe yourselves, still don’t get it. So, today, we have no choice but to continue. For those of you— and I’m talking about the SEC, I’m talking about the Feds, I’m talking about anyone looking to make trouble— even ENTERTAINING the thought of messing with our lord, go back from whence you came. The king is busy.
Tomorrow— and I pray it doesn’t come to this but you people never seem to learn— a demo on what’s in store for anyone looking to mess, from the king of clubs. (Hint: it involves an object not typically used in place of a standard golf tee.)
[For those of you ignoramuses who have no idea what the above is about, familiarize yourselves here. These were conceived, posed for, and distributed in a limited amount by SC and Co. several years ago, perhaps knowing they’d come in handy some day.]

Bess,
For posting these pictures, Steve has a special message for you.

Real tears. It's like a flip book.

@2 this is so amazing (though I seriously fear for Bess's life).
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:26PM
This is almost too good to be true. Are we really getting one of these every day? Bess is god.

the man buys up the rights to his photos (or did) and he agreed to this photoshoot? W.T.F.

I might caddy for him but I'm not going to be the low bidder for his ball washing job.

SC: Do you like getting nailed by the King?
Carolyn Burnham: Yes, your majesty! That was exactly what I needed. The royal treatment, so to speak.

Even with the photographer's hot lights I bet the photo shoot room never got above 38 degrees F.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:37PM
Not that I don't want this continue but assuming these get progressively worse, why doesn't SC put a stop to this? (By killing BL or just giving her what she wants-- one ride around the rink.)
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:38PM
@naked-- swap CB for BL
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:39PM

@Bess I'll ask again, how much for the whole deck?
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:49PM
In yesterday's photo, TGFD noticed a considerably bulked-down version of steve. Was that really he? Did steve stop eating, or what?

@21 are you kidding? he looked super chubbs in that shot.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:51PM
the question is how does SC put a stop to this? pay her off (maybe) or kill her (more likely)?
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:52PM
If Ron Insana calls Bess should she pick-up?
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 1:52PM

Guest@#22...
TGFD has never seen steve in-person, and the only photos I've ever seen of him have been courtesy of DB.
Perhaps you know him better than I, but to me, he seemed somewhat lighter that what I remember.
TGFD didn't see a crew-neck tee under a floppy-collared shirt either. Maybe that's why I thought he looked better.

@35 - Is this what you were looking for?
"You guys are disgusting. Why would you dig into the personal life of someone who has done nothing wrong? I bet we could find a lot of dirt on you bloggers and spiteful commenters. Just remember what goes around comes around.

You people have no morals. Bess Levine - what is the obsession with Steve? As a minority, you should know better than to be a petty rabble rouser against Steve who is by all accounts a good person. Have you no journalistic ethics at all?
And no, I am not related or married to Mr.Cohen or anyone else at his firm. I hope he sues you for copyright violations of his private property.

@45: what do you mean "you people"??

45 is alex cohen, w/o question.

@45 = Cum Receptacle
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:13PM
@44 no, that is a standard overlap grip, moderately weak. Looks like he's setting up for a fade, although with his narrow stance he's prone to the snap-hook from time to time. Just goes to show that all the money in the world can't buy you a decent set-up at address. It can however buy the silence of your playing partners.
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 11, 2009 3:14PM
Are you saying as a Jew, Bess is a minority? Perhaps in Mississipi or wherever, but in NYC? Please.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:15PM
Bess is a minority?
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:16PM
@45 If you seriously meant that, then WOW!
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:16PM
@49 he himself has said he's not that big a golfer so I don't get why they went with the clubs in these shots. a question for the art director (A.Cohen) I guess.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:18PM
alex@45 serious question-- what's so bad about these pics? your husband looks good, regal and whatnot. why are you so upset about them being shared?
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:20PM
@45, btw Alex, if you're going to bitch slap, get it right, it's Beth Levin.....

Maybe Stevie clubs a baby harp seal at the end of his swing.

Uh, I hope I do not see where this is going, but I fear that when Bess reveals Stevie as the Queen of Hearts somebody in the Dealbreaker commentariat is gonna go Raymond Shaw.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:35PM
@58 doubtful, since SC was complicit in these shots but apparently they take a seriously sicker turn.
Posted by guest , Nov 11, 2009 3:37PM
@58 good point. If I had to guess, Raymond Shaw = TGFD. He has an anger about him.
