Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurs are in a battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA playoffs. However, that is not the only battle Ginobili is in. He has been fighting that patch of baldness on the top of his head since 2009. The patch is roughly the size of your standard Yamaka. They are in an epic stalemate, and it does not appear to be ending anytime soon.
I think it is pretty cool that Randall Cobb went back to college to get his degree. Even if that degree is something I have NEVER heard of before. Per ESPN.com, Cobb’s degree is in community leadership and development in the college of agriculture, food and environment. I didn’t know that was a thing. Well, at least he won’t have to type that up on a resume, as long as he keeps catching touchdown passes for the best team in the world. But forget the degree and the fact that he is the first person in his family to achieve that feat. This is about the poor chick who had to follow up Randall in the commencement line. There literally could not be a more polar opposite reaction in a crowd, take a listen to this video:
It seems as though the Worldwide Leader is losing some “talent” when it comes to their Monday Night Countdown roster. Per an article from, “The Big Lead”, ESPN is letting Cris Carter, Ray Lewis and Trent Dilfer walk. Thank God they have some fall guys in place. It looks like Charles Woodson, Matt Hasselbeck and Randy Moss are stepping into their place in the revolving door that is, ESPN.
Personally, I am very happy Cris Carter is getting the boot. He had some dumb ass comments, most famously, the “fall guy” comment he made here: The term, “fits like a glove” is a term I can relate with when it comes to my nearly decade old pair of jeans I still frequently wear in public. I have been through many a battle with these pair a pant. But when they fit so nicely on you, why throw them out? The pair of American Eagle waist 34 boot cut jeans hug tight to my thighs while creating breathe-ability as they extend down through the legs. And on top of all that, they make my butt look nice, that is saying something because I have a pancake ass to the max! The frizzled bottoms add character and the, “Hey, I know I have been used and abused, but dammit I’m reliable”look. Through the wear and tear of these things (purchased in 2007) I feel as though they are a part of me. The fabric is starting to wither away and there is already a hole in the left leg, I know the day is soon coming where I will not be able to put these jeans on anymore.
Fresh out of winter and into the spring we go. When you live in Wisconsin that means you have made it through another 5-6 months of miserable hell. It is met with great excitement and optimism. This could be the year you plant that perfect garden, or take those newly wed pics in a field of lilacs. Maybe even put your child in danger by constructing that shitty play house and refusing to use the directions! As for me, the springtime is a constant weekend struggle to avoid day drinking. I am 26 years old and far enough removed from the college life that this should not really be an issue anymore. But excuse me all to hell if I want to enjoy a captain and diet (or 5) in the spring time/summer time. It is the nectar of God’s, and there isn’t a drink out there that feels so right sliding down my gullet, as the sun beats down on this chiseled body of mine..after 5 or 6 of these, I do indeed believe I have a chiseled body with an 8 pack. I start feeling invincible, even though this is absolutely not the case. Does this mean I have a problem? I stay away from the booze all week long but something about a sunny Saturday gets my juices going! I blame the shitty Wisconsin winters. I am not an alcoholic. PS- If you don’t believe in the whole day drinking thing, I dare you to toss on some Florida Georgia Line, set up a chair in the sun, and see how long you can go without giving in. Soon enough you will have an 8 pack yourself. Who needs water when you can have this:
It has come to the point where each week you expect to see something negative in the news regarding Johnny Manziel. The former golden boy has been a completely useless human being to the general public the past 4 months. If he can’t have booze, Bieber or blow he doesn’t want a part of anything. The latest, turning himself in before the hearing regarding his former girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, who he seemingly beat the shit out of while heavily medicated. On the surface it seems like the first responsible decision he has made in months, but God forbid he go quietly into the night without attracting more negative attention to himself. He sent out a gem of a tweet today, poking fun at the mugshot from his incident with Crowley, “Just thankful I had a shirt this time…” This is in comparison to his freshmen year mugshot when he got into an altercation in College Station resulting in three misdemeanors, and could have easily been a fourth, for excessive acne on ones forehead.
LeBron James trying to act like a scientific equation comes to him as easily as basketball is complete bullshit. In his new KIA commercial, LeBron acts like it’s common knowledge that, “the probability of event B occurring, given that event A never occurs is obviously zero.” He then gives a pompous shoulder shrug acting like the scientist on the black board should have never taken that long to figure out the equation. Okay LeBron, stick to where your bread is buttered, don’t get too cute with these commercials. I have a scientific equation for you: The probability that your hairline comes back is ZERO percent chance!
I guess I have been under a rock the past couple years, I still remember Jered Weaver as a pitcher who could throw in the 90’s on a regular basis. After watching him play my Milwaukee Brewers tonight, I see his fastball has dipped into the low 80’s and occasionally chillin’ in the 70’s. Any fan of the game knows a certain pitcher who made that BP level fastball into a successful career, Jamey Moyer. Moyer pitched into his late 40’s ,and even frustrated hitters with his precision and a fastball that a “twelve year old” Danny Almonte would be proud of. I used to be a huge fan of Weaver, dude was always fired up and could make hitters look stupid. As long as he can age like the fine wine that was once Jamey Moyer, we may get to see someone as intimidating as this guy once was: Keep hummin it in there, Jered!
There was no denying Ryan Braun’s star potential, the first round pick by the Milwaukee Brewers out of the University of Miami. He flew through the minors and made it to the big leagues in just over 2 years. I remember eating at a Buffalo Wild Wings when he got his first Major League hit and getting a hard on as I heard the connection off the bat. That was in 2007, and Brauny did not disappoint as the years flew by. He had his best season in 2011 when he hit .332 with 33 HR’s and 111 RBI and won the MVP, much to the chagrin of Matt Kemp, who was at the time banging Rihanna. Can’t have it all, asshole! The Brewers made an epic post season run that year (hey, when you haven’t won shit since 1982, winning a series is epic) and culminated in a divisional playoff round win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. That seems like decades ago.
Daunte still seems to be living the slogan he made semi-famous, “Get your roll on”. He has taken that slogan and gone with it off the football field, to the nearest buffet. Dude is just busting out of his JC Penny suit, he used to be rolling up defenses and now he’s just rolling up burritos or whatever the hell you eat to get that big. I respect the fact that he probably won’t stop until he rolls right into the casket. And to think I used to have his hat (see below), and wore it proudly!
