So I feel like an old lady *nh* watching Tom Petty (is that really the best you could do, NFL?) at half time and watching the whole event for the commercials. This is mostly due to the fact I would be most happy with an outcome of an asteroid wiping out the game and both teams, resulting in no winner. It’s good to see Busta smiling, despite those legal issues in his life. On the office place watercooler tip: If you watched, what were you’re favorite commercials?
I haven’t seen this mentioned on the internets yet, so we felt it was our duty to alert all of those ML readers who were wishing to carry Santana’s kid. According to Clinton Portis via Comcast Sportsnite via Chick Hernandez’s breakdown. Hopefully we can snip (I know, we’re TOO clever) the Seahawks on Saturday, then a Todd Collins jersey might become a legitimate thought. I’ll update once I have more evidence.
Edit: Looks like it was a circumcision that Clinton is “claiming” instead of a Vasectomy, I could’ve sworn that I heard different on the news. Sorry for giving you such errant info, potential mothers of a Santana Moss kid.
Damn it, We know we said we weren’t going to talk about Soulja Boy’s music again. But PD, who you may remember from great ML work such as the TITC recaps, sent this in to me and I was obligated to you, our readers, to post this. I didn’t know dudes from Wisconsin had such good rhythm.
The time: Monday Night, The place: Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo (if you are a local, Orchard Park), the place of prosperity all around. An event that brought as much hysteria and hype as the Shanghai Olympics did to China, a Monday Night Football game. It may no longer be on ABC, but that didn’t matter, dammit it’s been 13 years since Buffalo was in one! So around halftime I was smiling like a jester seeing Tony Romo and the Cowgirls being raped for an obscene amount of turnovers, in the end there was 6 turnovers (5 interception, 1 fumble). Fast forward to the end, after failing to “seal the deal”, Cowgirls win an onside kick with 20 seconds left, move the ball up enough to get a 53 yard field goal, get iced as the first kick goes through, on attempt #2 the rookie drills it again, no problem. All I can say is it left me feeling pretty bad for Bills fans (and the fact f’n cowboys won a game they had no business being even close in), seeing grown man cry does something to you, don’t hide your beautiful tears union workers. In the end I recommend that the game giveaways at the stadium for the rest of the season (decade?) are anti-depressants (even my gf, an admitted groupie of the bills punter, can use one), it will be a lot more useful than a noisemaker or the 354th beer cooler for a bills fans collection.
Look on the bright side Cowboys haters & Bills fans, you got to see Michael Irvin jump around like a mad man (with a hint of little girl tendencies), while holding a lollipop in hand, I have an inkling that leads me to believe it was one of these.
I’m going to go watch grown men cry in zubaz, good night.
Another month, another gem from Marco Polo. M Peezy just hit me up to let me know he has a track on the new J-Live BBE project Reveal The Secret EP (In stores 10.23.07). The track is called Practice, it’s a rework of the DJ Jazzy Jeff produced J-Live track off Jazzy Jeff’s The Return of the Magnificent (Which is a must have in it’s own right). It features a sample of the infamous “we talkin about practice” AI rant which without stating is pure genius. MP brings a catchy piano loop with cuts on the hook.
Wow, it’s been ages since we’ve writtenabout those Nats! Anyway, there was a baseball game last night at RFK Stadium in DC between the Washington Nationals and the Florida Marlins (in a showdown of 2 yank yank teams), when an armedrobbery broke out! No, it’s not a joke about stolen bases, WaPo has the details. This is the most exciting thing that’s happened at that stadium all year, outside of Beckham playing there of course. Security should get a good pat on the back for letting a gun slip into the stadium. In the end the Nationals won the game, in a non-violent nor exciting fashion.
Respect to The Basketball Jones, the greatest podcast known to man — at least, until (oops!) unless ML gets its own podcast — for pointing out the cameo appearances of NBA players Corey Maggette and Baron Davis in Common’s new video for “Drivin’ Me Wild” (I would’ve missed it otherwise as I wasn’t really digging this song, although the video is helping it grow on me a little).
Corey’s appearance comes up as Common rhymes about a female who thinks she’s bagged a “ball player for the Clippers” (the team C-Mags plays for). As for Lord Baron, well, he’s clearly not new to this rap shit. So, these NBA player cameos aren’t all that “random” (not like, say, Jeremy “Ari Gold” Piven mean-mugging the camera). You know what is random, though? Jalen Rose’s appearance in Styles P’s video for “Good Times (I Get High)”… (at the 2:41 and 3:06 marks)
Not random because it’s Jalen Rose — after all, he did pop up for a quick second in the video for “We Gon’ Make It” — but random because he’s behind turntables with headphones on, looking as if he’s (*gasp*) DJing! Maybe Jalen’s actually got some turntable skills on the low, or perhaps his appearance is just meant to fit the theme of the video, with SP seeing things while he’s blazed. Shit, I can’t recall the number of times I’ve hit up a party, under the influence of something-or-other, and thought to myself, “Am I losing it or is that Jalen Rose on the 1s and 2s?”
Yes I’m man enough to admit I readTMZ almost as much as I read ESPN. Any who these 2 things from today leave me hella puzzled.
Ok being a Mixtape DJ is cool, I knew you could be modeling for karmaloop & LRG. But writing introspective R&B songs for Akon, amazing. This is like Funkmaster Flex writing for 112 or some shit.
Then there is this (don’t sift through the pics)..Floyd Mayweather is going to be on Dancing With The Stars? Is this the new jump roping for boxers?
Then there is
