Plaxico “Bumblacot” Burress - “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom”
November 30th 2008
“It was I who shot myself, but I didn’t shoot me in the knee. It was I who shot myself, but I didn’t shoot me in the knee…” Come on, everybody!
I hope Plax doesn’t defend himself in the trial…just replace all the “sheriffs” with “me” and the “deputy” with “knee”.
Down goes Brady, Down goes Brady!
September 7th 2008
Tom Brady is about to be out for the year..torn ACL. Everyone in New England just let out a Darth Vadar yell from Episode 3. But, it was bound to happen…the NFL is “Not For Long” for a reason. Everyone gets hurt and it just is a matter of when. Let’s see what happens to the Pats with Matt Cassell starting for 15 games.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady limped off the field under the worried stares of Patriots fans. The thing they feared most finally happened – losing the NFL’s reigning MVP to injury.
And the team they love more than any other plummeted from an exclamation point of an unbeaten 2007 regular season to a huge question mark in 2008 after it held on to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 17-10 Sunday.
Brady hurt his left knee when tackled by safety Bernard Pollard midway through the first quarter. He went to the locker room and didn’t return. Matt Cassel, who had thrown only 39 passes as Brady’s backup the past three seasons, took over.
College Football - New AP Poll In (9/7)
September 7th 2008
New AP poll just came in and the mighty men of Troy are still at the top. My quick take:
Ranking (1st place) / record / votes
1. USC (33) 1-0 1,577
When you smash a BCS team that goes 9-4 the year before you deserve the top spot
2. Georgia (23) 2-0 1,525
I can’t stand Georgia (went to Georgia Tech) but I think superman has a black #24 jersey
3. Oklahoma (2) 2-0 1,458
4. Florida (4) 2-0 1,438
They got alot of homefield love against Miami but I think they may be the best team in the SEC when it is all over
5. Ohio State (1) 2-0 1,347
This will be the last single digit ranking they see all year…USC 34 OSU 14
6. Missouri (1) 2-0 1,336
7. LSU (1) 1-0 1,231
8. Texas 2-0 1,100
9. Auburn 2-0 1,067
10. Wisconsin 2-0 910
11. Alabama 2-0 865
Ingram is a beast!
12. Texas Tech 2-0 845
13. Kansas 2-0 825
14. East Carolina 2-0 762
They are just showing that rankings mean nothing. They were by far the better team against WVU
15. Arizona State 2-0 744
16. Oregon 2-0 616
17. Penn State 2-0 607
18. Brigham Young 2-0 537
The Mormans are coming, The Mormans are coming
19. South Florida 2-0 493
Very good game against UCF…both programs are really growing and building a fan base
20. Wake Forest 2-0 404
21. Fresno State 1-0 290
22. Utah 2-0 258
The Mormans are coming, The Mormans are coming
23. California 2-0 195
24. Illinois 1-1 164
When I think of Juice Williams I think of someone with a s-curl or hawaiian silky…just sayin’
25. West Virginia 1-1 163
You all just got knocked the ______ out
Boeing Gives MLK Memorial 1 Milli
September 1st 2008
Good news on the MLK memorial front. Boeing is giving $1 million to the project. I can’t wait for this to be done. FLASHBACK: Anyone remember the frat (Alpha Phi Alpha) selling the bricks…I was so broke back then that I couldn’t even buy one…LOL!!
The Boeing Co. has announced a $1 million donation to help build the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
The gift was announced at a unity breakfast at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, the 45th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
The foundation working to build the memorial on the National Mall in Washington says it has now raised $100 million for the effort. Earlier this month, the group announced it must raise an additional $20 million to complete the project.
UCLA 27 - Tennessee 24 OT: PAC-10 > SEC (LOL!!!)
September 1st 2008
I just got done watching UCLA take on Tennessee and win the game in overtime. I have to say that the game was everything you could have asked for…well at least the second half. Both of the teams have stout defenses and produced a touchdown by the D/Special Teams (TN - INT to the house, UCLA - blocked punt).
I was really happy that the PAC-10 came through and beat an SEC team, outside of USC. The SEC is the most overrated, underrated conference in football. Everyone complains that they get no respect but any television/radio sports analyst will say they are the best conference. So when UCLA, who is a upper/middle tier PAC-10 team, can take on and look just as good as an SEC powerhouse it shows that the playing field isn’t that unbalanced. This is “Rocky Top’s” second loss on the West Coast in as many years after taking an L at Cal last year.

Alright…that “A Milli” is a BEAST!!!!
July 12th 2008
The wife and I took a trip down to New Orleans a few weeks ago…it was actually right after Lil Wayne’s new album came out. Now, when I say this I’m not exaggerating one bit, they played A Milli on about every station every 5 minutes. Every little place in the French Quarter, Bourbon St., Canal St., everywhere in New Orleans they were playing the song…
BUT, that song is a beast! They have already remixed the song about 20 something times and Ne-Yo has a for real video on his remix. The beat on the song is just nasty. So, since I’m about to start writing with football season and college about to start I might as well start it off by posting the two best versions of the song. Enjoy…
That is better than the real video.
Busta said it best…”that milli is the nail in the coffin!”

Anytime you look at updating the accessories in your home it gets very expensive. Personally, I have been looking into ceiling fans at Farreys. They have a wide selection of products to chose from and exceptional prices.
Farreys is somewhat of a wholesale place that offers many discounts on closeout items. I found a fresh ceiling fan that I’m thinking of ordering from them. Farreys also had some good deals on bath accessories. You should check them out.
