Spanish Basketball Team Picture - Racist?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

So my friend just forwarded me this article: Spanish basketball team poses for offensive picture, which shows the Spanish Basketball Team posing for a team picture, while slanting their eyes with their hands. I’m still baffled by it and trying to figure out why they would do such a thing. Personally, I’m pretty offended, but I wanted to send a feeler out there and see what you all out there thought of it as well. Post your comments below…

Brett to Jet Set

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Dammit!

I had this quirky lil’ blog post about Brett Favre set to publish tonight at midnight, and then he had to go and get traded. Ruin my whole post why don’t you B Fav? Now I gotta pretty much re-write the whole thing in the present tense so I don’t sound like an out of it sports guy. Oh well, at least I’m near a computer tonight where I can edit this buggah to da max.

What am I babbling about? After months of back and forth, the Green Bay Packers finally sent Brett Favre a packin’, in a trade to the New York Jets.

Woah.

What does this mean exactly? Well, curtains for Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens for one. For another, we’ll no longer associate B Fav (you heard that nickname here first… don’t touch! :P ) entirely with the Kaimuki High like, green and gold/yellow. He’ll still be donning green, but in a darker shade with white.

How did we get to this point, after B Fav all but retired after last season via a teary-eyed press conference? Well, he decided that retirement was not for him. I can kinda see/empathize with both sides:

* Green Bay: They’ve drafted and made roster moves, thinking Brett wasn’t going to be a part of their future. They’ve got a young stud Quarterback in Aaron Rodgers whom they’d like to get a good look at before deciding his contractual future. They’re just trying to move on.

* Brett Favre: He’s a competitor. He’s still got the itch. He knows he can still compete at this level.

Talk to me!

  • Who you siding wit’?
    • For me, I kinda side with the Packers on this one. I’m all about being a man of your word and doing what you say you’re going to do, so it’s hard for me to side with Brett.
  • Thoughts on seeing Favre in a Jets uni?
    • I’m neither a Packers or a Jets fans, so I look at it from a strictly Fantasy Football point of view. The idea of having Brett Favre on my fantasy roster instead of duds Chad Pennington and/or Kellen Clemens, is pretty scrumptious if you “axe” me. Wide Receivers Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery (and even TE Chris Baker and RB Thomas Jones for that matter) get a big boost as well. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. *rubs hands together*
  • For the ladies who read this blog… Is Brett Favre still a hottie to you?
    • Guys don’t look at other guys like that.

Hopefully, there are some sports/football nuts out thurr who will comment/discuss this below for poor, lonely me… Hollaatchoboy! *grin*

I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

You’ve probably heard this song on the radio. Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl. It’s quite catchy actually (somewhat of a club banger), but it made me wonder what every man thinks but is too afraid to ask… Actually, I’m afraid to ask too (at least in this public arena), but if you get me drunk, I may just blurt it out. :P

Basically, “does you think” (props to Borat) every girl thinks like this or has it in them to think like this? Yes, it’s a wicked generalization, but you hear girls talking about their “girlfriends” and see them holding hands with each other at the clubs all the time. You’ll never see a straight dude get close to touching another straight dude’s hand or speak of having a pajama party with their “boyfriends.”

Why do you think society says it’s ok for girls to do/say things that guys will never think of saying. Why is it more acceptable to see two girls kissing than two guys eating lunch together. Don’t get me wrong, I totally agree with society, especially with that two girls kissing thing :P , but isn’t it an odd one? Post your theories below man!

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It’s not what I’m used to
Just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No I don’t even know your name
It doesn’t matter
You’re my experimental game
Just human nature
It’s not what good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Quinton Rampage Jackson Arrested!

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

After losing his UFC Light Heavyweight belt to Forrest Griffin earlier this month, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson went on a rampage of his own yesterday and was arrested at gunpoint by police in Costa Mesa, California for felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving. All this while driving in a huge camouflage Ford F250 with his own image on the side! Check out these images from TMZ. Whatchu think? Pure craziness or all a misunderstanding?

UPDATE! The new word is that Rampage was detained again on Wednesday! WTH!!!??? See MMAMania for more info!

In other news, Strikeforce Middleweight champ Cung Le is scheduled to be on The Hot List on ESPN News (Digital Channel 0225) or HD ESPN News (HD Channel 1225) this afternoon sometime. The show runs from 9am-12PM.

Happy Hump Day ya’ll!

Hulkamania Running Wild!

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

What happened to the Hogans? They’re literally falling apart right before our very eyes.

First, Hulk Hogan and his wife Linda Bollea stop filming of their hit show “Hogan Knows Best” due to marital issues.

Then, son Nick is sent to the slammer after causing an accident that left his friend critically injured.

Then, Linda officially files for divorce (which some believe may be an effort to split the family’s assets from a lawsuit stemming from the accident).

Then, Linda wants Hulk jailed for not paying his share of a $4.2 million Las Vegas condo.

Now, Linda is supposedly dating a 19 year old teen!!

WHAT THE!!!???

I’m just waiting for some crazy news on Brooke.

I hope everything works out for them, but Hulkamania is not looking too good so far…

P.S. The bright side, at least for the rest of us, is that we just came back from a Kamehameha Day vacation and it’s just one more day ’til TGIF! :)

Talk to me:

  • Were you a fan of Hogan Knows Best?
  • Do you care what’s happening with the Hogan family?
  • Do you think Linda is to blame for most of this?
  • BOS 2-1 over LA. Holla!
