Chimp with AK-47

I wanted to post something today, but I couldn't think of anything... so here is an awesome video of a chimp with a gun! I'm pretty sure this clip isn't real, but I thought it was hilarious when I saw it for the first time with my buddy Dan Boadwine. I hope you can enjoy this lame post, I think it's kinda funny.

New Music for the New Year

I better get some new music up, because I haven't done it for a while. Here are some good tunes that have come out this week, so I hope you enjoy!

Skillz - 2011 Rap Up
Skillz kicks off the new year by going through what happened in 2011. If you wanna get a recap of everything that happened over the last year then you gotta listen to this. There's some pretty legit rhymes in here and the bring back some recent memories.


The Weeknd - D.D
The Weeknd is back with another good one. I'm really starting to dig this group/guy? He has had a lot of songs come out recently, including this one. Off the new mixtape Echoes of Silence The Weekend gives us this song. The singer really reminds me of Michael Jackson for some reason, I don't know if you will notice that either, but here you go!


Sean Kingston - Born To Be Wild (Feat. Nicki Minaj)
I'm not a huge Sean Kingston fan... but who doesn't love a little Nicki??! Nicki Minaj with another great verse here, and the beat is pretty awesome. I think you will really like this one.


2AM Club - Every Evening (Feat. Chiddy Bang)
And finally, a brand new song, just out today. For those who don't know about 2AM Club, they are a pretty cool new band, and you need to check them out. Here's one of their best ones, so I hope you really like it.

Packers Have Some Underrated Guys

After Sunday's game against Detroit, the Packers proved that they have some pretty good players and a lot of depth. This post is mainly a shoutout to @Vonster15 because he knows that I'm a huge Jordy Nelson fan. Yeah, even being a Vikes fan, I have mad respect for this dude. He is without a doubt a top 10 receiver in the NFL, close to the top 5 in my opinion. I think it just worth mentioning that Nelson is super consistent and he definitely makes Aaron Rodgers a better quarterback. He's definitely the most reliable receiver on that team.
Then there is Matt Flynn. It's tough to call him underrated because he has barely played in the league. But with his contract coming to an end after this season, I think it's safe to say that Flynn made himself quite a bit of money after his performance Sunday. I think any team that picks up Flynn this offseason should be satisfied with him as a starting quarterback, and I wouldn't be surprised if he were one of the top QB's in the league next season. Sorry I had give some love to the Packers, but I think these two guys definitely deserve some recognition.

NFL Playoffs 2011

The Playoffs start next weekend and they are looking exciting. Can't wait to see what happens, and hopefully the Lions and the Packers don't come away with any big victories... I got a few predictions of my own for this year:
To start off Wild Card weekend, we got a few interesting games. I think the Steelers vs Broncos will be a close one. Both teams with very good defenses, but I think the run defense in Pittsburgh will shut down Tebow, so the Steelers will win that one. The Bengals and the Texans both have had interesting seasons. They both started off hot, but with Jake Delhomme in at quarterback, I just don't think Houston will go too far, so I'm picking the Bengals in this one. In the NFC, Falcons vs Giants is another great game. The Giants can be an amazing team at times, but they have shown to be inconsistent. But I just can't pick against Coughlin in the playoffs, Giants win that one. And finally Saints vs Lions, I really can't pick against Brees, even though the defense has been shady. I think the Saints are gonna win in a high scoring game.
Then we shift over to the Divisional round. In the AFC, if I'm correct, the Bengals would face New England. I think this one could be a blowout, as the rookie Andy Dalton has no chance of keeping up with Tom Brady. Then it is a classic Ravens vs Steelers matchup. This is always a heated rivalry that comes down to the wire, and I'm gonna have to give it to Baltimore because of home-field advantage. It should be a great matchup though and I would love to see it. Then in the NFC we would have Packers vs Giants. I think this is another close one, because of the way New York played against Green Bay last time these two teams faced each other. Eli has been great in the playoffs over the years, but I think I gotta give the edge to Rodgers and the Packers. Then we have 49ers vs Saints. I'd have to say the Saints are gonna come away with this one, but the 49ers are a hell of a team, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do in upcoming years. Jim Harbaugh should be coach of the year in my opinion. So that wraps up the Divisional round.
On to the Conference Championships. Ravens vs Patriots. I gotta go with Tom Brady. He has too much passion to not make it to the Super Bowl, and I would love to see him win another. It would be cool if Ochocinco could get a ring too. Then we got Packers vs Saints. I said it earlier this season: Brees is MVP and there is no way that the Packers defense can stop him. Saints win it in a blowout.
Super Bowl XLVI - My prediction: Patriots vs Saints.... Should be a great matchup as always, and a high scoring game. Brees vs Brady, Payton vs Belichick, there is nothing better. I think I would have to go with the Pats in this game. I think Brady has shown to be back on his game this season and he has had great targets all season long. I think I'm taking the Pats mainly because it is just too hard for me to pick against Bill Belichick. This guy is a genius. Final score in this matchup - 35-31 Pats over Saints.
Even though my team is not in it for a second consecutive year, I think this should be a fun postseason to watch. Keep an eye on the passing games, because I think that is what will determine who wins games in the end. Really looking forward to these great playoff matchups.

Vikings End Season With 3-13 Record

The Vikings ended the season a couple days ago with another loss to Chicago. It was the worst season I can remember as a Vikes fan.
But yesterday we did get to see some excitement as Jared Allen closed in on the NFL single season sack record. As Allen recorded 3.5 sacks in the loss, fans watched eagerly to see if he could get the record. He finished with 22 sacks, just a half sack below the record. However, there could be an investigation on that sack record. Earlier in the season there was a play in which Aaron Rodgers fumbled behind the line of scrimmage and was touched down by Jared Allen. The play was ruled as a "team sack" and Allen got no credit on the play. I think since Allen was back there to finish the play, he should get credit and should be the sack record holder. Regardless, Jared is a beast and I'm excited to watch him for upcoming years.
Allen was also the only Pro-Bowler from the Vikes, as I think Chad Greenway and Percy Harvin got screwed. But it should still be fun to watch the playoffs this year. There are some great teams, and I'm really excited to see how the NFC Playoff picture turns out. More on that soon...

Wolves Win

Here's an interview with Ricky Rubio after tonight's win over the Mavericks. The Wolves won to snap an 18-game losing streak dating back to last season. Rubio alongside Kevin Love led the team to seal a victory in Minneapolis. The Wolves not only one, but they crushed on Dirk and the Mavs, proving that they are a much better team this year. Rubio played absolutely outstanding, especially on pick and rolls to find open guys all over the court. Another phenomenal player tonight was forward Anthony Tolliver, who made some big shots to gain momentum. Just an overall great performance by the Wolves tonight. It is great to have Barea back, and hopefully Beasley won't be out too long after injury his finger late in tonight's game. It is just awesome to see how great these guys feel about winning, and hopefully we'll see a lot more of that this season. I'm looking forward to some more Wolves basketball.
