Community - Spanish Rap Video

I just started watching the first season of "Community" and this was the funniest part so far. I thought this video/song was hilarious, so this is what I'm sharing for the night. I hope you enjoy... and I really recommend Community if you are looking for a funny show to watch.

Drew Brees Breaks the Passing Record

I haven't done a blog post for a couple days, but it is worth highlighting that Drew Brees is a boss. Broke the passing record for a single season, which has been held by Dan Marino for 27 years. Brees is just too dang good. Congrats to him for such a great season!
He broke this record with one game left in the season, which just shows how successful that passing offense is in New Orleans. I know Aaron Rodgers is having a great season, but there is no way that Brees is not the MVP. He is too dang good. I've seen games, like in Kansas City, where Rodgers can't pass. Brees has come out and scored more than 20 points in every game this season, and he's put up scores like 62, 45, and 42 consistently. That offense is too good, there is no way that Brees is not MVP. This leads me to say that, even though I hate the Packers and I sound biased, the Saints are too good for the Packers. Green Bay beat New Orleans week 1 this year, but that was a long time ago. And now that the Saints defense is starting to step up, I think the Saints will dominate the Packers. The Green Bay defense has been pathetic lately, especially in the pass game. If it ends up being Saints vs. Packers in the NFC Championship game, I would be very surprised to see the Packers win that game. Brees will show why he's the MVP in the NFL after that game. But crazy things have happened, so we will see how things turn out... Congratulations to Drew Brees for now, for that awesome record he set this season. He's such a good guy too, which is awesome to see. I'm actually cheering for the Saints this year, which is something that I never thought would happen after that 2009 NFC Championship. But now that I had Marques Colston, Jimmy Graham, and Darren Sproles on my fantasy team this year, I've kinda become a fan of the Saints. So I'm excited to see how these playoffs turn out! My prediction: Saints over Ravens in Super Bowl XLVI.

Opening Week of Basketball

NBA opening week started yesterday with a lot of good games. The Knicks had an exciting game against Boston, while the Heat crushed Dallas. It is a fun game to watch, and I'm glad there was no lockout. I just got done watching the season-opener for the Timberwolves, and we looked pretty good. We brought it down to the wire against the 2-0 OKC Thunder, but couldn't come up with the win. Ricky Rubio looked awesome though, and J.J. Barea and Derrick Williams had nice debuts tonight. We got the Bucks tomorrow night, and it should be a good one. I'm really looking forward to a lot of NBA action this year! Gotta go do a fantasy basketball draft now...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope ya'll spent some good time with your family and ate some good foods and talked about how great your year has been! I also hope you guys got some good toys for Christmas, and you didn't shoot your eye out!

Adrian Peterson - Torn ACL

Adrian Peterson tore his ACL yesterday, which has a huge effect on the rest of his career. There are reports that he may have even had a tear to his MCL, which would be a crucial blow. Redskins safety, DeJon Gomes dove in for the tackle in the third quarter to deliver the hit. Peterson obviously won't finish this season, and he could be out most of next season as well. This is the suckiest thing ever for Vikings fans.
It really sucks that this has to happen to a guy like Peterson. He is one of the classiest players in the NFL who just goes out and plays. He is the most dominant runningback that I have seen in my lifetime, but it looks like his career could take a dip. He runs hard, which many have warned him about, as his running style makes him more vulnerable to injury. I just hope he is able to bounce back soon. I wish him the best.

Back Home! Here's Some: Kidz in the Hall - Break it Down

Just got back home to sunny Sioux Falls, South Dakota and it feels great to be back home! I love spending some time with the family, and my dad is looking great. We're gonna hang out and watch some football tonight, which should be fun. I'm really feeling this song right now, it's a good one.

Matt Barkley Returning to USC

I posted earlier this week about Matt Kalil returning to USC for another season. Different story for Matt Barkley... Barkley announced today that he is returning for one more season with the Trojans. He was definitely a top 10 pick this year, and will probably be in that running again next year, barring injury or just a terrible season.
I don't really think Barkley is as great as everyone says. I think he might be decent in the NFL, but I saw him make a lot of poor throws at USC this year, and I can't say he should be worth a top 10 pick, but I know a lot of people would disagree. He does have a good group of receivers to return to, including Robert Woods. I think Woods might be the top receiver in the nation right now, right up there with Justin Blackmon.
We'll see if this was a good decision for Barkley. He seems like a real nice guy, so I hope things work out for him. The speech from Lane Kiffin today was great, too bad I couldn't find video. Evidently Barkley made a Christmas ornament for Kiffin of them hugging on the field. Kiffin thought it was a little cheesy and weird at first, but Barkley told him to turn it over and read the back, which read: "One More Year"
Class act from Barkley, and a great Christmas present for his coach.

Las Vegas Bowl; Player to Watch: Vontaze Burfict

Arizona State vs. Boise State tonight in the Las Vegas Bowl. Should be a good one... Kellen Moore, the winningest quarterback in college football can reach his 50th win tonight. Standing in the way: Vontaze Burfict. This dude is an animal. My pick is Arizona St. just because of Burfict. Look at him. He will destroy you, I wouldn't wanna be lined up across from him.
What is with Arizona St. producing such intimidating guys on the field? Burfict fits in with linebackers like Terrell Suggs and Jamar Williams, both from Arizona State. I think this is gonna be one of the top rookies next season in the NFL. He should definitely be a top 10 pick, but he has had some off the field problems that could restrict that. Regardless, I'd take my chance with him. He has incredible talent. A run-stopper and great open-field tackler, along with some incredible coverage skills. He knows how to read offenses and take advantage of it. Watch the game tonight, I'd be surprised if you don't hear his name more than a few times.

Jeff Green to Resume NBA Career After Season

The news that Jeff Green needed heart surgery was very scary last week. However, he is having the surgery soon and is expected to be able to come back and play. His health is obviously the biggest concern, so hopefully he gets better so he can come back. Green is huge part of the Celtics bench, as he is one of the best sixth-men in the league. It's gonna be tough to find a replacement for him. But Green is just 25 years old, so I hope he can make it back and have long, healthy career.

A Few Good Songs Right Here

I haven't put up my new favorite music for a while, so I got three new ones for you. I'm loving these ones that were released just this week, so check them out! I hope you enjoy:

Nelly - The Champ
Well Tyler has a new favorite song... I love some of this new Nelly! If you have been watching any bowl coverage, this is the song that Nelly made just for that, and it is greatness. I love that flow with the singing that he brings. He has a new mixtape on the way, so be prepared! For right now, just enjoy this hit from St. Louie:


Cris Cab - In My Dreams
I haven't heard a ton from Cris Cab, but this is one of my favorite little tunes. They have a lot of his stuff on GoodMusicAllDay.com , so that is worth checking out too if you enjoy.


Skizzy Mars - Shangri-La
Dude I can't wait for Skizzy Mars mixtape! Phases comes out very soon, and this is just another hit. Way to go Skizzzzz!

This Baby Can't Rap??!

This baby is hilarious, trying to rap! He doesn't know words, but that doesn't stop him from going H.A.M.! I'm pretty sure this kid is gonna get a record deal, it's better than half the stuff Lil' Wayne has produced...

Done With Finals!

Finally done with finals, and this is how I feel ^^^
Yeah buddy, I'm excited to go home and spend some time with the family. I wish ya'll a very fun, safe, and relaxing break. Make sure to spend as much time with friends and family and all your loved ones. I know I'm gonna be hanging out with my dad, who is home safely after undergoing a bone marrow transplant that treated him for leukemia. I'm so glad to have my family here. Have a good one!

Matt Kalil to Enter the 2012 NFL Draft: Become a Minnesota Viking

After the Vikings pathetic loss to the Saints today, I am already excited for the Draft. We're looking at the second pick right now, which puts us right in line for what we need... an offensive line. Matt Kalil is probably the best offensive tackle I have seen in college football since Jake Long. I remember everybody hyping Long during the college season, so I kept an eye on him and he dominated. That is exactly what I see from Kalil. If anyone watched the USC vs Stanford game this year, you would have seen how dominant this guy is. He moves dudes like it's nothing.
And everyone saw how horrible the Vikings O-line looked today. Charlie Johnson is slowing up a lot and we are in perfect position to get Kalil. I think this pick makes perfect sense, so I am actually looking forward to what we can get. I will definitely have to put up some new posts about my upcoming favorites for the draft.

Excited for Rubio

Put that in your book. Wolves are gonna be awesome this year... meaning, I think they could make a run for the playoffs! Can't wait to see what they'll do this season, I'm really excited for this Ricky Rubio to Derrick Williams connection. Vikings suck, so hey, why don't we all get pumped up for some basketball in Minnesota??

Chris Paul to the Clippers - DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin's Reaction

So Chris Paul is finally out of New Orleans, after he was sent to "the other LA team." This video is awesome, seeing how happy these guys are to have an awesome guard like Paul on their team. My favorite part is the reaction from Blake Griffin. He's jumping around like "It's gonna be lob city!" Haha, hell yeah Blake, hell yeah. Here's how excited DeAndre Jordan is for the upcoming season:

@deandrejordanDeAndre Jordan feels like the first day of school all over again, can't wait!!!

Steven Jackson - Boss of the Week

Steven Jackson rumbles into the endzone, as Commissioner Pops rumbles into the playoffs! Jackson's TD against Seattle Monday night put me in the Sioux Empire State of Mind Fantasy Football League Playoffs. And for that, he is "Boss of the Week". Thank you Steven Jackson!

Barea to the Wolves

I was a huge fan of J.J. Barea last postseason, as he was the sparkplug for that Mavericks offense. I had no idea that he would be on the Timberwolves this season, and for that... I am very excited. The Barea/Rubio combination is gonna be nice with Love/Beasley combo in the paint. This team is looking to make the playoffs this year. I am feeling very confident with what the Wolves have going on right now. Finally a Minnesota team that I can look forward to? Weird that I'm saying that about an NBA team.... #barea #rickyrubio #championship

Newest Good Music

I've been slacking a little, but I have to update some music! I missed good music for a good weekend, so this is good music for the week. I hope you enjoy it:

Nicki Minaj - Roman in Moscow

I always love a little Nicki! Who doesn't?? This is some more of that classic Nicki Minaj that we all love, probably one of my favorites by her!

Split Second - Trains

Great rapping on a fantastic beat! Sampling a song called "Same as the Sun Comes Up" by Jesse Cole, Split Second gives smooth verses that compliment it. I can't wait to hear more from these guys:

Gravy and the Biscuits - Sauced

Gravy and the Biscuits is the new thing, I'm really diggin' their style. Especially on this song, they switch up there flow a little, and I love the intro to it. This band is something to look forward to, I gotta find their mixtape and post that sometime too.

The Weeknd - Party

The Weeknd with a new unreleased song, and it's pretty dang good. A lot of autotune on his tracks, but that's just his style. This is a little more upbeat compared to most of what The Weeknd puts out, so it is exactly what I'm looking for!

Dia Frampton - Don't Kick the Chair (Feat. KiD CuDi)

A cool new track from Dia Frampton that I really like! And.... We get a new verse from CuDDeR which is always good! He's had a lot to offer. Check out his new song "Teleport 2 Me" which is currently my favorite song. I definitely cannot wait for that new album, it is gonna be epic. Oh yeah, and Dia Frampton is super cute, I'd like to meet her if that is at all possible.

Chris Brown - Complicated (Feat. Asher Roth)

I'm not usually a huge Chris Brown fan, but this one is for the people who enjoy some pop/R&B tunes. It kinda has a weird beat, and the verse by Asher is right at the end, but it's pretty enjoyable to listen to. Definitely check it out:

Nerdy White Dude Kills "Look at Me Now" While Cooking Some Pancakes

This is the best song ever. Very creative lyrics mixed with randomly cooking pancakes... I give it a 10 out of 10, you heard it here 10/10.

Chris Paul Staying in New Orleans?

Welcome back NBA! This is a great start! Chris Paul traded to Los Angeles in a three-way trade involving the Lakers, Hornets, and Rockets. However, the trade was rejected by commissioner David Stern. Owners around the league were pissed that there was gonna be another super-team, like the Miami Heat... Which proved not to be the best team in the NBA last season. It's a trade between teams that agreed to a deal! Why isn't that accepted?? That is the dumbest thing ever, and the NBA is losing a ton of respect from fans and players.

Chris Paul will not report to Hornets camp today, and explore other legal options to get the hell out of New Orleans. He had his reaction to the trade rejection posted on Twitter:

@CP3Chris Paul

WoW

Lamar Odom also seemed to be confused and posted a good question, something that I think is kind of awkward and funny:

@RealLamarOdomLAMAR ODOM When a team trades u and it doesn't go down? Now what?

Hopefully they get this all figured out. I highly doubt Chris Paul is gonna wanna stay with the Hornets after they traded him. He is pretty much on his way out no matter what. The NBA has been rather unimpressive lately. Get it together ya'll! I'm ready to watch some basketball.

Pujols to the Angels

And also, this just in... Albert Pujols signs with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for a giant contract. That is just nuts, I can't imagine him anywhere but St. Louis. But with the money he was offered, it was impossible to turn it down. The Angels are giving him $250 million over 10 years. I don't even know what I would do with that much money! That is insane, I can't believe he makes that much. He better produce this season, I'm thinking 50+ HR's and a couple hundred RBI's... Good luck Albert!

Mike Golden & Friends - Groceries

I haven't done a post all week and it's already Thursday... My bad. I didn't have internet for the whole weekend, and I have been super busy all week. Not too busy to listen to some new Mike Golden & Friends though! I talked to Mike via twitter and he told me to go get his album this week, and I was like "hell yeah I will, and I'm telling everyone about it!" The new album is so good; more of that hard rock with awesome vocals from Mike. Plus, a new music video for No Name is on YouTube, go check that out! That is my favorite song on the album, but I do love Pancakes and Beer also, just a great album overall. You can download it for free right from the band's website... Here you go!!!: http://mikegoldenandfriends.com/

Von Miller

The Vikes got the Broncos this weekend, and I'm looking forward to a good game. I really think we have a defense set up to shut down Tim Tebow. Most of all we have a good run-stopping D, and I think Jared Allen can cause some havoc for Denver's O-Line. I could see it being another low scoring game for the Broncos.
I think the biggest problem the Vikings are gonna need to worry about is that tenacious defense from Denver. Von Miller is the man I wanna talk about. This guy is nuts. Speed, strength, and instincts. He can break up a play in the backfield as well as any linebacker in the NFL. Miller definitely deserves the Rookie of the Year on the defensive side of the ball. Let's just hope Toby Gerhart can run through him Sunday.

**Fixed: Miller might not play due to thumb surgery he had earlier this week. thanks @SayreBedinger

Patriots Back on a Roll

Back to some NFL... Tom Brady and the Patriots put on another good performance Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady threw for 361 and 3 TD's, two of them to the big tight end, Rob Gronkowski. After going down 10-0 early, the Patriots battled back and ended up winning the game 38-20. The defense looked good, the offense looked great. The Patriots are still in the hunt for that first seed in the AFC Playoff picture with an 8-3 record that leads the AFC East.

Tom Brady just went nuts in this game. He can throw all over the field to any receiver he wants. Gronkowski is a dominant force in the redzone as well. And with quick guys like Deion Branch, Wes Welker, and Aaron Hernandez, Brady has no problem marching down the field on teams. I think this team has got it all, as long as their defense is playing well. I'm excited to see how well they will play in the playoffs. Right now, Belichick and New England are my SuperBowl pick. I know everyone is crazy about the Packers, but I haven't seen GB beat a very good team yet. I don't know if their defense could handle the explosiveness of the Patriots offense if these teams end up in the SuperBowl. But we will see.... Oh, and btw, Eagles on NFL Network tonight against the Seattle Seahawks. Should be a meaningless, but fun game to watch.
