Super 8 is Super Great (see what I did there?)

I really expected to like this movie and I wasn't disappointed one iota...it reminded me of the great adventure/sci fi/thriller movies from my childhood...I've been excited about anything JJ Abrams touches since I became a fan of Lost during the first season...his sense of wonder is amazing and I fell like he's the biggest movie geek in the world and I can really relate to that...well done sir

The Herd vs Jimmer

Ok...I've lived in Las Vegas for about a year now and the local affiliate carries ESPN Radio's national feed in the morning...back east I was never in a position to hear this Cowherd guy much (although I was well aware of him) but his show time here coincides perfectly with my work schedule...so over the last year I've had his opinions blaring in my ear while I've been working and I've caught myself wanting to break my radio when he says something really stupid (which is often)...last year I was getting upset with him because he kept telling me how bad my Reds were and how Joey Votto was "the guy that did his driveway last week"...funny...HE WON THE MVP HERD! SHOVE IT!...ahem, sorry...then there were all of his rants against Aaron Rodgers and how he wasn't an "elite" QB in the NFL even though he put together an amazing run in his first 3 years as a starter...HE WON THE SUPER BOWL HERD! DEAL WITH IT!...now his target is Jimmer Fredette of BYU fame...you know the National Player of the Year in college basketball...Herd is ranting and raving everyday lately about how the guy isn't going to amount to anything in the NBA...while this may wind up being true...the reasons that he gives for having this opinion are absurd

He says that Fredette never played anyone in his conference (The Mountain West)...ok he played against the number 2 ranked team in the country in San Diego State twice...a team that was built on defense and fundamentals...he had 73 pts combined in those two appearances...he had 33 against Derrick Williams and Arizona...34 against Gonzaga...Herd you're wrong here

Herd also states that Fredette played in "tiny half empty buildings" in the Mountain West...wrong again...as previously stated I live in Vegas and have attended UNLV games at the Thomas and Mack and it's far from a tiny half empty building...ithttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif's a building that has a well known (out west anyway) reputation for being loud and packed...BYU plays in the Marriott Center seats 22,700 and is always packed...The Pit in New Mexico has a national reputation for being one of the most hostile arenas in all of college basketball and every opposing player describes it as one of their least favorite places to play...Jimmer scored 32 there last season...you're wrong Herd...and you should know better especially since you spent a lot of time in Vegas covering sports during your career

Also stated by Cowherd is how Jimmer can't handle the ball well and create his own shot wrong

Basically what this boils down to is Cowherd watching 2 or 3 of Jimmer's games and dubbing himself an expert on the subject and declaring him to be a bust already...a tactic that he uses often on his show...the jury is still out on what Fredette will do in the NBA but I'm willing to bet he'll be much better than what Colin thinks...

I'm back

so I've decided to start blogging again...I'm super opinionated and tired of only sharing those opinions with myself...you've been warned

We will call you Schleprock....

Greg Oden the AARP card carrier former Ohio State standout basketball player is once again out for the season...this time with a broken patella...this is the second major setback in his NBA career...if you remember he was the number one pick out of college in 2007 and proceeded to miss the entire season following microfracture surgery on his knee...I'm pulling for the brother (AYO!) but it's not looking very good for him as far as having a productive and long career goes...

Interesting video

don't know if its all true...don't particularly care much...but I don't really think son would have a lot of reason to lie about the shit...eh make your own assessments

Hov!!!!

Jigga came to Vandy last night...me and my lady had kick ass seats...I screamed like a little girl...knew the words to every song (and she did too...*gasp*)...and probably had the best time I've ever had at a concert...*pics coming soon*

Really dope ad

Football bitch.....

I love this time of year...baseball is my favorite sport but I fucking love football too...all them big mens running into each other wearing tight pantses just gets me all excited (no homo)...


I think my Bengals are gonna have a rebound year 10-6 here we come...Chad will be doing more shit in the endzone like this again...I just have that feeling


Tom Brady is back bitches...that's all I need to say

I'm gonna go see 3 or 4 games this year as things stand right now...can't wait...and now I'll leave you with the greatest song ever made about football...enjoy

Six Flags last weekend....good times

So my gal talked me into going to Six Flags with her and a couple of her friends...I never really hopped on the whole Six Flags train and the one time I did go for Frightfest it was cold as hell and windy and everything was closed so I had a terrible time...this time I really enjoyed myself...we were there for about 9 hours and only rode 4 rides because it was so packed though hahaha...I managed to break my glasses on the Georgia Cyclone (fuck that ride man!) but I continued on like a trooper and rode Acrophobia next (after bending my glasses back into form)...I always said I never never never never was gonna ride something like this but once again I let this girl talk me into it (strange how that works)...I'm man enough to admit when we got to the top and stopped rotating I closed my eyes (say somethin nigga!)...next up was Splash Waterfalls (OH OH OH)...and finally Goliath (fucking awesome roller coaster...and yes I closed my eyes for the first drop...say somethin nigga!)

Just...weird...

the webcam is easily one of the best/worst inventions of all time...it gave too many dudes license to wild the fuck out and release it to the world for no apparent reason...but then again it also gave lots of women reason to wild out and release it to world for no apparent reason...and I thank them alllll for that...*ahem*...but yeah Steph is on that Peter Pan but that's been apparent for years now...anyone that gets a tat on the side of his head has crossed over into the netherworld long ago...enjoy...oh and my favorite part is his boy singing off key with his hand on his back...pause yourself homie

people have been having fun with this photo...I always have my doubts when I see shit like that...turns out I was right

The Natural becomes....The Traded....

Jeff Francoeur's run in Atlanta has ended...I can't say I'm too upset about it...he's a product of the shining athletic star of Gwinnett County high schools (Parkview) and I've always sort of rooted against him for it...I'm a product of DeKalb County schools where we weren't afforded a lot of the same things that kids from that side were...such as...large enough facilites where you don't need trailers...swimming pools at the school...our OWN football stadium...competent teachers...etc etc etc etc...so when I saw this guy from GA get drafted by the Braves and be in the majors within 2 years of said draft...I started hating...he came out like gangbusters his first season and the future looked bright for him...but it became clear during his second season that the Braves had rushed him to the majors too fast and he lacked the needed seasoning to be an everyday player...it all came to a head this season when with his avg mired in the dumps and his run production suffering he was sent to the bench by Bobby Cox...and now here we are...mere days later he is no longer in Atlanta...will I continue to hate him?...probably...do I wish him well with turning his career around...ok sure...good luck Frenchy

Boy stop...

I don't know if it's the bad dancing or the auto tune that makes this shit suck...but boyyyyyy does it suck...and I usually like where Soulja Boy is coming from *||*...not this time though

1958-2009

I haven't done an RIP post yet...I mean what can I say that others have not...this man was a legend and possibly the greatest entertainer we've ever seen...but that isn't why I was so enamored with him...Mike embodied so much more than that to me...the hysteria this man created is probably one of the biggest memories from my childhood...everything from how afraid I was of the video for "Thriller" to how "Billie Jean" is probably the first video I ever remember seeing (I wanted to light shit up when I touched it just like that nigga man)...this man provided some highly enjoyable bonding moments with my Mom too...we were reminiscing the other day about how we used to sit in her Pinto and sing "Workin Day and Night" and "Wanna Be Startin Somethin" and I knew ALL the words as a 4 or 5 year old...crazy...I remember my Mom bought the Bad album on cassette and played it so much that it stopped working...just shit like that made his death really shocking and saddening...yeah the wheels fell off towards the end of his life...his messed up childhood leading to his altered mental state...coupled with drug abuse...his illness (yes he was ill...he did not bleach his skin people come on)...and all the sexual abuse accusations...but that's not what I'm going to remember...I hope that's not what other people remember either

a few of my favorites....








dope tribute even though I usually find Mayer annoying:

Apparently I'm a crazy sleeper...
