In the ensuing moments, Jeeves and Carlos realized their friendship was not as strong as they had thought.

We've been rolling out a heckuva lot of NEXT 2009 content this week: nominations, photo galleries, videos, equating people to Leonardo DiCaprio and back-and-forth discussions. You can find it all on that link (here it is again!). A word similar to NEXT had to be our theme for the week and ensuing works quite nicely. Consider: the Pistons are 4-0, but beware of the ensuing melodrama with the addition of Allen Iverson; Jake Peavy seems like a good fit on the Braves but there's some ensuing garbage about "needing prospects;" and with the way their season is folding, the Cowboys better hope Romo's ensuing days are less Jess and more rest. As for what will ensue after the jump, here's a hint: the best content of this week!
