What the Difference

I Get’s Wicked……..

That’s the old Ice Cube song…..i was on the great site Turbocity.net and I have to download it. I linked it for all you West Coast fans-http://www.sendspace.com/file/3aj5q2…Anyways on to the fun

After hard tuff games of Outburst remix, I turned on HBO 8(the Ochoa) and was watching Real Sports. Now I hate Bryant Gumbel with a passion but he does a gr8 job with show. The lead story was about drinking at NFL games. The opening shot was skins fans getting twisted out of there mind, it was around 10 am and they were already past the beer and onto the Johnny Walker. Shit was was crazy. They got an octopus contraption that has 8 beer bongs attached to it. So crafty and original. Anyways the irony fo the whole thing is the NFL stance on the whole situation. On one hand they have such a tuff no drug policy and image control and on the other hand Budweiser is there number one advertiser. Basically they don’t give a shit……Lets be real here, they promote tailgating at home games, they serve 18 oz of beer at games for absurd prices for huge profit. They had one guy on the show saying he will never take his son to a game……claiming the fans are to unruly and rude. Hello it a damn war zone, My dad took me to my first football game in 1992, we flew to Cleveland to see the Browns and Pats at the old Cle. Municipal right on the lake or as some calls it the “Mistake by the Lake”. It was late December, and it the temps had to be in the low teens with that crazy lake wind. As a 12 yr kid, it was an overwhelming event; I saw grown men and more surprisingly grown woman fall down cement steps drunk out of there mind. I looked at my dad and he said this is what football does to some people. Did that event turn me off to football, hale no….i still feel it the best sporting event one could witness, the excitement and anticipation is incredible. So what can the NFL do stop this behavior………nuffin and they don’t want to. Why would they….u get drunk and twisted and pay 200 for a upper bowl seat, this is the same league that gives out a mandated injury report so the bettors can set a more accurate line, this is the most bottom-line sports league in the world…..so remember what the WU said………Cash Rules

The whole Redskin saga is pretty damn funny. When Gibbs retired I thought the hiring of Gregg Williams was a early 90’s Shaq dunk but it wasn’t. As the days kept passing I was getting a tad nervous, I listen to the John Riggin show every drive home from work and Riggo said almost 2weeks ago that Jim Fassel would be the coach. How could we get to this point, how in the hell could we frickin sign Jim Fassel to coach. Fassel is a nice guy and a ok offensive cord but were talking haed coach. I did some research on Fassel, he was Head coach at Utah, not the Jazz but the Utes…u know the two Utes sidebar: My cousin vinny was one of the most slept on comedies of the early 90’s …it really solidified the greatness of Joey Pesci and the actor skills of Ralph “karate kid” Machio……Back to fassel he was 25-33 with Utah and 58-53 with the Gints, including a super bowl app. XXV and shellacking by the Raves. So lets add that up 88 loses 88 wins………mediocre…avg at best. The story is not Fassel but what the hell happened with Williams and Snyder. Either Snyder wasn’t feelin dood or he sux at interviews. I was not a 100% sold on him or al saunders but the continuity with this team was right there and they would have a seamless transition. You can correlate the same coaching staff with winning. NE-Bellichik been her for about 8 years, Jax-del rio been there for 5 years, hell even NYG-Coughlin been there about 5 yrs. The point being teams need to gel and get used to each other. Who the blame…..Snyder I guess. Sure he writes the check but to be honest you have to ask urself does he give a ish if the skins win or lose. There the second wealthiest team in the L’, there’s a damn 30 yr waiting list for tickets, he has a multi million dollars deals with Fed Ex, Budweiser and Stubhub. So he doesn’t really give a ish about public opinion, I still think he cares deeply about the skins cause after all the money he still just a fan.

I celebrated the first Sunday w/o football going to the Movies. I wanted to do a lil’ movie hopping. I had the whole thing lined up…….I was going to see the 2:10 of First Sunday and the 445 of Rambo. The only problem was they were on opposite of the theater. Oh well, I opted to see First Sunday with Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan, Katt and my man Chi Mcbride. A very nice funny family movie that had a good ending and not a lot of cussing but a lot of funny parts. When a black movie comes out I always look at the demographics of the movie theater, if it all black it not doing too good and if the crowd a lil’ more diverse it going to do ok. Well it was extremely diverse and in fact way more whites then blacks and the movie is in it’s 4th week…a good sign. After the movies I went to my homeboy Cash Money house to watch the Lakers-Cavs game. A gr8 game, by two of the most prolific players to ever grace the court. Bron-bron was huge…simply huge, one of the key plays of the game was Cle up by one with abut 15 seconds left, very rome-like sanked 2 clutch freebies…..the big thing was only about 30 seconds earlier he missed 2 freebies. Can u see Progression to Unstopabilty. Now to my beloved Lakers, they opened the second-half on fire (15-2 run), basically held that league for the whole second half then Pj for some reason took Bean out for about 4 min in the 4th qtr. I didn’t like the move at all, u could see that bean wasn’t having a gr8 game but was driving to the whole getting free throws and easy basket for teammates, when PJ took him out the game, the offense just sucked with Lamar Odom as the focal point. I’m so sick of his game and and his attitude, he’ the weakest link in the damn offense. When Bean gets tripled team, he nowhere to be found. Odom new nickname is Fools Gold I had a argument wit Cash Money on if u were GM who would u take…..Ronny Turiaf or Kwame Brown…it was a pretty heated discussion. Cash repeated mentioned he would rather be fired as GM rather then choose. To me it a slam-dunk, Turiaf at least give u all he’s got: he hustle's, scraps rebounds and at least provides 6 hard foul…..on the other hand Kwame is pure thrash.

Lastly I wanted to talk about the boi Obama. He’s killin it right now. That not really the insight I wanted to drop. I was looking at the SC primary speech and something just popped in my head, he reminds me of somebody……..

If I’m lying please strike me……….I love that guy……Any guy that can channel the Great Cyrus and Beat a Clinton is my type of guy……eerie Cyrus was uniting all the gangs in NYC and sadly was assassinated…………something to just ponder.

Can U Digg It!!!!!!!

New Year New Ish

New Year…New Ish

Im back and reloaded, I feel re-invigorated and most importantly rehabilitated……That’s right, im back like spine’s and car seats. Plenty to be thankful this year; good health, my homie had a gorgeous baby girl …all good things and now my sword is sharp as ‘uck so get ready for the bumpy ride…it’s gonna be fun.

First things first…….on the tv front…..Real World-Road Rules Challenge 3 is coming back. Now everybody who knows me knows im a huge fan of the whole RW-RR series. In fact me and my old roommate used to have RR-RW challenge parties and invite girls over to watch……ohhh the good old days. Anyways I was talking to my brother and I was thinking when will I be to old to watch these type of shows. Im 26 now but in 4 short years I will be 30 and looking at 18yrs old bungee jumping into pools wearing little bikinis…..Am I wrong for that. By the way for all the Coral fans she will be back and those golden globes will be bungee jumping into pools wearing little bikinis…… I love it.

Secondly the greatest show ever…..that right I said it….The Wire will return this weekend. U ask what makes it the gr8est ever and I ay…..drama, action, gr8 acting, real shit, compelling actors and not the Hollywood polished shit…….This is the best show period coming in close second is OZ, but even OZ cant mess wit the Wire. In fact before I moved in with my Cubby-cakes, she never seen an episode before, never knew about the harsh reality of Bodymore-Muderland or more socially accepted Harm oops I mean Charm City. It’s such a hard city like everybody there is very rugged and hard and not like DC where the crime rates are similar but dc is very polished almost a smoothness to the madness. I grew up about 20 mins away from bmore and spent many night there…….just a real rugged place. Anyways she was hooked after watching this scene :

Simply the best intro to a show ……ever!!! Look at the Sales Associate Face….This season of the Wire is even more special to me, not only is it the last but a good friend of mine is actually on the show this year…..he’s an extra cop but he has some speakin lines. I will be lookin out for the Trunny, Just updated he will be on the 4th episode.

Now speaking of B’more they finally fired Brain Billick of the Ravens. Now most of my clique didn’t really grow up as ravens fans since they were born in 1997. But when they won the chip in 2000 we collectively grew to mess with them. Once again one player transcended and became the pillar/rock of the city……..Ray-Ray Lewis was that man. His passion and energy is second to none. But to be totally honest the Raves are in transition. There vaunted defense gives up way to many big plays and to be honest has gotten old and predictable. The offense is down-right filthy and nasty. No playmakers, the QB situation is garbage……they suck. I’ve been doing some due diligence to figure out how to get this once mighty franchise back to respectability. First thing is to let the best commodity go, trade All-Pro and best safety to NE for there 1st and 3rd (1st=7th overall). Now I know all the pundits and raven fans in denial will say that crazy why trade ur best player. Easy, you won 4 games with him and lets be real maybe 6 games next year without changes. NE has not been shy about his love for Ed Reed and to be honest NE will be a gr8 fit for Ed Reed. The whole thing of blowing a team up is to build through the draft…need examples…the Indy colts starter consist of 95% of the players they drafted. That’s right the world champs and one of the one of the most winnings teams of the decade. You simply cant win from free-agency…the redskin learned that the hard way the last few years but finally have been building thru the draft and being a little more fiscally responsible. Last example; when Jimmy Johnson took over the 1-15 cowboys he traded his number one commodity, Hershel Walker for 7 draft picks from the Minnesota Vikings. By the way some of those draft picks turned out to be Emmit and Darren Woodson. Now the move that goin to hurt the most; they should trade Ray Lewis. He is an iconic figure and a sure fire Hall of Famer:

But at 30 plus linebackers don’t really get better .Plus he starting to get nick’d up. I think he can really help teams on the brink that new a strong defensive influence such as: Indy, Arizona, SF and maybe even a Carolina Panthers. All in all trade him for a 3rd round pick. Now were starting to destroy and rebuild. We should have accumulated at least 5 xtra picks to start building up the roster. The O-line is in shambles and u can never have enuff depth, Re-sign T-Suggs, Get rid of Mccalister , Rolle and Heap and decide if Troy Smith is the answer, if not draft a QB and develop him and finally please draft some playmakers…WR and better D-backs . This is not an exact science but the Raves have to stop putting band-aid on the problem and finally go in for that much needed surgery or fall into the trap of being only one player away for 7 years.

On the political side, it was quite refreshing to see Obama win the Iowa Caucus. I found myself asking friends and family can he really win….like really win. My friend sent me and interesting clip

Wow , that some powerful shit, how can u sing laws and bills in effect without congress, what happened to check in balance. The funny thing is this is going down and cant none of is stop it like it or leave it….we the American public have sold our soul. Everything is out sourced…and I mean everything. I called Microsoft for some tech support and the techie was located in India, now u can’t hate on the techie but u can hate and if necessary boycott Microsoft products……. My theory has always been built around the the saying ‘Power to the People”. Let hypothetically say just for 3 days, Americans limit or cut back, hell even carpool or use public mass and totally not even go to the gas station unless deemed 100% necessary. Do you really think Exxon (who made a 8billion dollar profit) will feel that.. Think about that for a minute… 2 fronts, just 3 days of not getting gas unless 100% necessary will kill there bottom line and think about makin a 9 billion dollar profit, no business makes that much profit….that damn robbery. But the major corp don’t have to worry Americans have become so weak and dependent on them instead of each other. I came across that best describes this problem:

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will see peace"
~Jimi Hendrix~

Deep shit ……real deep
