Ok, One More Awesome Video



I was just about to give up, but there is one more video I thought was actually hilarious. So here is one more funny video on the house... If I ever umpire any baseball games, I can only hope that my strike three call is this awesome.

Last Post for a While

For the millions of followers on my blog, this is gonna be my last post for a while. Got a busy summer ahead of me, where I will be working a lot. I hope I can start up another blog soon. This has been really fun, and I can't wait to look back at everything I have posted. For those of you who do check... thank you very much. Hope I can do this again.

Dat New New Music

Since I haven't done a post in a minute, why not kick off the summer with some new music. Got some new jams that I am really digging this week. Let me know what you think.

Warren G - Party We Will Throw Now (feat. Nate Dogg, The Game)
This is just an awesome new hip-hop song that sounds like the old days of rap. Loving that chorus from the late, great Dogg named Nate. A pretty sick song, keeps the legacy of Nate Dogg going. R.I.P. homeboy.



B.o.B - Champions (feat. O.A.R.)
This is a new bumpin' song, brought to us by the one and only, B.o.B. Teaming up with O.A.R. for a new song that they made for the upcoming Olympics. B.o.B is so versatile, so it's hard to find anything that he produces that is bad. All he does is make awesome music!



Ro Ransom - GTS
Ro Ransom just reminds me of some old school rapper that is making good music even though it isn't anybody's style right now. Well, it is my style, so I love it. Keep doing what you do Ro. Love the beat on this one, and some pretty chill flow.



Aer - Tell It Straight (feat. Guy Harrison)
Finally, courteous of @Vonster15 Isak Ivanic, I bring you a chill new hip-hop duo. They go by the name Aer. They pretty much just make chill rap/pop songs. Usually I don't like that style, but there is something to this new one. Make sure you check out Aer a little more. You might love them like the Vonster....

Finals Are DONE!



I have not made a new blog post in a full week! Just finished up with my finals, and I am ready for the summer. Had a great year of school and moving from the University of Minnesota back to my home in Sioux Falls, SD. Hopefully my parents don't mind me living with them for a year haha... So glad I'm done with school, but I had a great three years up here. Met a lot of awesome friends that I will have for life. Can't wait to start this next chapter! Peace out, have a good summer!

Mariano Rivera Tears ACL



There have just been too many dang injuries lately in sports. The latest... Mariano Rivera, closer for the Yankees, tore his ACL yesterday during batting practice trying to catch this fly ball. Ouch. Sucks to see that happen to such a great player and a great guy. This could end Rivera's career as he is 42 years old. I would hope not, because he is one of the best to play the game, and definitely a Hall of Famer.

Terrell Suggs Tears Achilles Tendon



Ravens' linebacker Terrell Suggs will likely miss the entire 2012-2013 NFL season with a torn Achilles tendon in his right leg. This is a huge blow to the Baltimore Ravens, as Suggs may be the best player on that defense (alongside guys like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Haloti Ngata). Ball So Hard University is in deep trouble as their most famous alum is off the field.
I don't wanna say this ends playoff hopes for the Ravens, but this guy is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year from a year ago. This is huge. I don't think this Baltimore defense will be the same without him, and fans will be surprised by how much worse they could be... Good thing they were able to get Courtney Upshaw in this year's draft.
Suggs seems to think he will be back by mid-season, which is very hopeful for Ravens fans. We'll see how this turns out for their future, and good luck to Suggs in his recovery.

Jered Weaver Throws No-Hitter

Jered Weaver

Congrats to Jered Weaver on throwing a no-hitter tonight. He just finished it up about five minutes ago. I don't wanna take anything away from the guy, because that is quite an amazing task to complete. But the Twins are just garbagely awful. GARBAGELY AWFUL. We need to do something with our roster and our pitching. Lost this one 9-0.
Sucks to be a fan of Minnesota sports in this era. Again, congrats to Weaver. Pitched a great game tonight.

Debate on San Antonio Spurs



I think it's time for me to express a little debate opinion against the Spurs right now. I don't usually bring my arguments into random things, like the NBA Playoffs, but this is one of the things I think I have a good argument for. So let's jump right into it.
The Spurs had the best record in the NBA (along with the Chicago Bulls) with 50 wins and just 16 losses. Gregg Popovich also won coach of the year. They had an 11-game win streak, and Tony Parker put his name into the MVP candidates list for the NBA. That's not bad. So why don't I think they can win the championship this year?
Point number one: Nobody cares about the regular season. Teams who get enough wins to make it to the playoffs don't do anything after that. The record's for the top four teams in each conference really don't matter at all. It becomes the "Glorified Recreational Basketball League" (as my brother calls it), and they basically just try to be flashy. They had a great record, sure... but I don't think that matters even a little bit.
Next point: They're old. Yeah, shouldn't matter if you're good enough. But in playoff time, these guys gotta keep up with the young ones. I think they'll get by the Jazz, but then it's on to take on Blake Griffin/Chris Paul. Maybe they can even get by that, but then its Kobe/Andrew Bynum or Kevin Durant/Russ Westbrook. Their age is gonna hurt them. They can't keep up with the young ones.
Last point: They have a decent defense, but they won't be able to stop the all-stars. By all-stars I'm talking Kobe, Bynum, Durant, Westbrook. I think Tony Parker can maybe handle the small guys. But really... who is gonna stop Kobe or Durant? I love Manu Ginobili, but he can't stop them and nobody else on the Spurs can. I don't think they will make it out of the Western Conference.
So let's say I'm wrong. Their record is a legit reflection of the team. They can keep up with the young ones. Somehow they manage to shut down Kobe/Bynum/Durant/Paul/Griffin/Westbrook. They cannot keep up with the Heat. Nobody can. It is gonna be one of the biggest flukes if the Heat fold in this year's playoffs. I don't like criticizing on classy teams, and the Spurs are definitely one of those teams. Manu and Tim Duncan are some of the best guys in the league. Just gonna say it though... They have a very slim chance of winning it all this year.

Junior Seau Dead at 43



Junior Seau has reportedly died of a gunshot wound to the chest today. Investigators right now believe that Seau committed suicide. A sad day all around the sports world, as Seau was one of the best players in NFL History. He retired in 2009 after a season with the Patriots. Seau is leaving behind a wife and three kids. Thoughts and prayers of many are with them as they deal with this unfortunate loss. RIP Junior.

Mother of God... I don't even have to explain why I posted this.

Don't Forget That This Was a Popular Song...



I'm a Flirt Remix baby! T-Pain, T.I. and Kells?? What a combo... Remember when R. Kelly had a pretty decent album? Too bad that guy is goofy, because I really enjoy his music. Anyway, I just thought I should put this up here so nobody forgets it. Enjoy!

More New Music for Rap Fans

I gotta post a few more songs this week. There have been some big artists posting new songs online for free so I have been taking advantage of that. Can't wait to see what else is happening around the music world in the near future... For now, check these songs out:

KiD CuDi - Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More of That Whiskey!
CuDi is back and rapping again, and I'm lovin' it! He is so versatile with his music, and I'm glad he is producing more rap music, even though I do love his WZRD album. He uses the beat from his song "GHOST!" off his second album to make this fun song. I really hope you like it.


Lil' Wayne - Celebrate
Weezy is back making more music. I love the beat on this one. There is a complete version with Mack Maine on it, but I kinda just like the shortened version. It's just kind of a fun one to jam out to.


Tyga - Designer
More of the YMCMB crew right here with Tyga. Again, I'm diggin' the beat and there are some pretty fun verses on it. Ok, not really, it is very sexual and kind of disgusting. I don't even like this song. I'm not a huge fan of a repeating chorus, but this song makes it work. It's not often that I'm gonna post Tyga on here, so good luck with this one.


Bow Wow - Better (feat. T-Pain)
This is different that the recent stuff that Bow Wow has produced. The verses are put together well, and I always like a T-Pain chorus if it's fun. Hope you dig this one as well.

Derrick Rose Tears ACL



Derrick Rose tore his ACL yesterday in Game 1 of the opening playoff series against the Philly 76ers. This is a huge blow to Chicago.... obviously. I don't think they have a chance of winning this anymore. They have great players on that team, but he is definitely the most important part. If they can beat the Sixers, I can't see them getting any farther.
This definitely makes my favorite in the Eastern Conference the Miami Heat. I just think LeBron is gonna be too unstoppable. I would still like to see the Magic make it to the Finals, but without Dwight Howard that is gonna be super tough. Right now it has gotta be between Atlanta and Miami, just because both teams are healthy right now.
I like OKC in the Western Conference. I could definitely see the Spurs win that conference, but I like the youth of the Thunder and I can see them running the floor on the guys from San Antonio. Should be a fun NBA Playoffs to watch yet again this year.
Again, it is really sucky to see a guy like Derrick Rose get injured like this. I hope he has a speedy recovery, and good luck to the Bulls in the rest of the playoffs.

Chiddy Bangin' to Mind Your Manners - New Music Video



Sweet. Chiddy Bang released the video for Mind Your Manners off their new album Breakfast. It's a pretty bumpin' song, so I hop you enjoy!

NFL Draft: Round 1 Recap



As expected, the NFL Draft was freakin' awesome in round one! I love watching the Draft every year. It's so awesome to see these guys get drafted and have their dreams come true. This year is especially fun since the Vikes drafted early. As expected, Andrew Luck went number one, followed by Robert Griffin III at two were the first two picks. After trading to the Browns, who took Trent Richardson with the third pick, the Vikes grabbed big offensive tackle Matt Kalil from USC. This dude is a total beast, and I can't wait to see him blocking for Adrian and keeping Ponder safe all year.
There were a few strange picks as well. I definitely was not expecting Seattle to take Bruce Irvin with that high of a pick at 15. Also I thought Shea McClellin went to high at 19 to Chicago. The best part of the draft to me was at pick number 29. The Vikings trade up and take probably my favorite guy in the draft: Harrison Smith. The safety from Notre Dame was a four-year starter, and the only player to record 200+ tackles in his career at ND. Not to mention the guy is also a ball hawk and finished with seven interceptions last year. Can't wait to see this kid play.
There is more Draft tomorrow starting at 6pm. I am definitely ready for a weekend full of this. No plans for the weekend, but chillin' and watching the draft. I'd love to see the Vikes take Brandon Boykin from Georgia with that 3rd rounder tomorrow. I think he will definitely be a good choice. We'll see what we can get though!

Jazz Clinch Playoffs



Big Al Jefferson absolutely went off last night! He was amazing in the final minutes of the win against the Phoenix Suns to clinch a playoff spot for the Jazz this season. This also comes as great news for Wolves fans like myself, because that means we will have a first round pick in next year's draft. With such a deep draft class, this is a huge year to get that pick back. So thank you Al Jefferson! Now I'll be cheering for them to lose so we can get that 19th pick overall!

Mrs. Irrelevant?



Damn... Good luck to Mr. Irrelevant I guess....

Five Second Films




My new favorite thing online: Five Second Films. There are like a thousand five second films, and they're all pretty funny. It is something to go online and do to waste time, but it won't waste very much time. Check out their YouTube page right here: http://www.youtube.com/user/5secondfilms

Kevin Love Shaves Off the Beard



Hahahahahahahahahaha! Look at this goofy guy named Kevin Love! I think this picture is so funny, he looks like a little kid. His hair is super goofy too. Gotta love the Wolves. It's a cool group of guys, led by this guy Kevin Love. We had a rough game last night, losing to Golden State, when we blew a 21 point lead.... Can't wait for next year. Gotta get Love, Rubio, Ridnour, and Pek healthy. I think we can definitely have a good team next year. And Kevin Love, please grow that beard back. You are not intimidating at all looking like that!

Ron Artest is Back



Yeah, that just happened. Ladies and gentlemen, Ron Artest has come back to the NBA. Metta World Who? I hope James Harden is okay. He came out at halftime, but evidently he's going back into the locker room to get checked out, and he will not be returning. It could be a concussion.
I was hoping that Serge Ibaka would have just straight up brawled with him and punched his lights out. Metta World Peace is one of the biggest idiots in sports. He's gonna get a huge suspension. I'm a big James Harden fan, so it was disappointing to see. But we know how Ron Artest is. Nobody could ever forget this...
