Widukind is a Fantasy God a.k.a. Fantasy Football Review

!

Well, well, well. Another fantasy season, another championship for Widukind. God it's great to be me. Here is the season in review; I start out looking over the draft, and then proceed to my end-of-the-year awards.

Best Pick: Tom Brady, 22 overall, I Eat Pussy (Alot!). I came in to this saying to myself that I wouldn't reward anyone for picking a Patriot, until I was reviewing the draft results and saw an oddly astute Harrison snatching up Brady in the 2nd round. I also don't mind giving Harrison this award because he proved himself a much more capable fantasy player than I had ever imagined, and somewhat made up for his absolute disgrace of a performance in baseball.
Honorable Mention: Patrick Willis, 108 overall, banana cumcakes. Clay made him the first defender taken off the board, and for good reason. The dude defines "cornfed".

Best Value Pick: Tony Romo "No Homo", 62 overall, SploogeOnMyBreakfast. Yahoo!'s 3rd overall point scorer needed to prove himself this season, and he did more than that, garnering respect even from a few Niner faithful (most notably, me and Clay).
Honorable Mention: Adrian Peterson, 51 overall, I Eat Pussy (Alot!).

Worst Pick: Calvin Johnson, 46 overall, I Eat Pussy (Alot!). Rookie wide receivers are pretty iffy, and Harrison could have had a plethora of guys with this pick that would have made his team unstoppable. In hindsight this makes the "genius" Adrian Peterson pick make more sense.
Honorable Mention: Larry Johnson, 3 overall, I Eat Pussy (Alot!). Hey, you win some, you lose some.
Also, pretty much all of Ilan's picks except for Greg Jennings.

Best/Worst Trade: We didn't pull off a single trade in this league. Wow. How the hell did that happen?
Dumbest Drop: Earnest Graham, September 30 (2:11 AM???), SploogeOnMyBreakfast. Harrison let him go, you swept him up, and promptly released him. Juanfeesh came in for the rebound the same day.
Honorable Mention: Brian Urlacher, October 29, SploogeOnMyBreakfast. Mark gave up on a down-and-out playmaker, and Urlacher fell right in to my lap and carried me in the playoffs.

Smartest Add: Wes Welker, September 4, Ass+Cum+Blood=Salsa. Second reward for a Patriot pick, but there's no debate; went undrafted, picked off waivers right away. Alex never looked back.
Almost the Luckiest Fucking Fantasy Player...Again: Archibald Hunter of loose goose. Earlier in the year Archie famously claimed "I don't know shit about baseball" but still dominated the league. However, I ultimately came to the rescue and saved us from the horror of addressing him as our champion. As football also came to a close, the Tory was close to sneaking away with another undeserved championship (he was starting Alex Smith until Week 16 for gods sake), but I once again stopped him in his path.

Worst Fantasy Manager Ever: Ian Anderson of letsgostagsbaby. In all due respect, I feel really bad for Ian. This team didn't look half bad coming out of the draft, but he made no effort to maintain his squad, and ended up 1-13. Another embarassing performance from Woolly has his head on the chopping block for next years potential cutdown on owners.

The Ravens (a.k.a. the only manager to lose to the worst manager ever): Juanfeesh of cum_ice_cubz. Nice going.

The 49ers (**deep sigh**): vicklicksdogshit. Andy put up an unbelievable 52 points one week, and finished third to last in overall scoring (for the two below him, look up a few inches). As new commissioner, this is my second head I have placed on my proverbial chopping block, as I've come to believe Andy only joins our leagues to see if he can beat us making hardly any moves, which so far has yet to happen. Bastard.

The Patriots: SploogeOnMyBreakfast. A 14-0 regular season was certainly impressive, but Mark couldn't win when it counted. Bill Simmons wrote an article earlier in the year discussing how hard an undefeated season in real and fantasy football is; poor Mark now knows this all too well. I can only hope this is a sign of what is to come for our beloved Patriots. (I'd also like to note that while Mark will of course bring up this as his potential 3rd football championship in a row, in 2005 his championship team "Mom its just ketchup" was 7th in overall scoring. Additionally, in 2006, his winning squad of "Explosive Diarrhea" was 4th in overall scoring. What a fluke.)

Champion: Me (Mark and Alex can complain all they want, but it was Poodi Johnson who ended up as the top-scoring team in the league. So you can suck it. Yes, my genitalia.)
A sweep of the fantasy championships will do just fine; anyone want to buy a ticket to tour my Yahoo! player profile trophy chest? No? That's ok I'll just melt all my hardware and bathe in liquid gold. All the time. Mmm yeah sue me, sue me.

Out like me from the fantasy playoffs. Oh no wait....

Not out like me from the fantasy playoffs. Much better.

Minutes for Sunday, December 23rd 2007


WASHINGTON D.C. - ASSOCIATED PRESS

"Desparate times calls for desparate measures" many political analysts were, and are, saying in concerns to the Joint Session of Congress President George W. Bush called on Capitol Hill last night. Here, presented unedited with exception of names, are the minutes taken down painstakingly and extremely accurately by Fantasychamp:

When Fantasychamp said what things he could try and get e and l to do together because he owns them.

Bear: To stop conjestion while driving they make a lane that is real bumpy and shitty unless you have a big car because so when traffic is hella bad you go to the bumpy road which is better than traffic as long as you're moving right? All the big cars go to the shitty one cuz they go over bumps well, its a carpool lane for big cars!
Fantasychamp: why don't they just make two lanes?
Later...
Bear: it was just a terribly planned idea.

Fantasychamp and Directv: right out there in the fog could be china or a shark big ass white shark and we'd never know
Bear: If sound waves could go straight to japan if this were the ocean than I would say yo and the guy would be the first japanese guy to ever hear yo. It's going on the internet oh shit lory's gonna read this shit!
Directv: You're taking minutes congratulations you're doing a great job!
Bear: Ok and then write "and then he almost throws up".

Bear: One day when one of us is all famous someomes gonna read this shit.
Directv: oh they're all perverts!
Bear: No! they'll say "they were even genius's back then!" when you're the dalai llamas apprentice, its Fantasychamp the expert!

Bear: Nice toss yessssss.
Directv: You know who's getting that? Japan!

Bear: I'm so close, haha, so close to having a good idea.

It's only midnight it's definitely open.

Mcdonalds on fillmore! mcdonalds on fillmore!

Poonani: He couldn't say anything to those kids! Half a block away he says "fuck you" then, nothing he just goes "keep going keep going".
Bear: Dude I just made a fool of myself. Ffffuck uhh!

Directv: We've gone one fucking mile.

Bear: Rocky horror picture show that's why I didn't want to say let's see it unless it was gay porn or something...

Poonani at the mcdonalds drive-thru oh my god.

Fantasychamp: last season of the wire they kill a cop so police wipe em all out and the series ends with baltimore being worse off than it was with the gangs. It just shows the big cycle of shit.

Bear "whisper" to Harry:
I'm so fucking high right now I can't even listen....dude, are you guys gonna stay friends with me?

Widukind Diary Entry #9



My mom found this blog and wrote on one of my posts asking why I had to use the "F-Word" so much. I really, really tried to restrain myself, but how else am I gonna put it?

Baseball is fucked up.

I was waiting for abriendo_bitches to write his Mitchell report review, which of course never came, so I thought I had to give my views on the matter. I'd first like to establish that I could care less about who was named in the report (of which the sources were two guys basically. Is that all the government of the United States, the most powerful force God has ever allowed to exist on this planet, can come up with? The government that brought down Sadaam? That faked 9/11? That killed Tupac? I mean, c'maaaaaaaaan). The reason I don't care about the names is two-fold. For one, I'm basically forced to because I've supported poor Barry through all of his trials and tribulations, and if I all of a sudden started slandering Clemens I would just be a really big douche bag. Secondly, and more importantly, I really just think baseball would be better if they just let the whole thing go.

Don't get me wrong, I'm terribly disappointed in the MLB for letting something like this go on for as long as it did. Though it's a stereotypically cream puff response, I think the impact that the rampant use of steroids had on younger generations is extremely serious, and one that major leaguers should be ashamed of causing. I also support new testing techniques that will help catch steroid abusers, and anything that will help crack down on their use. However, I also believe that there is something inherent in the game of baseball, something that can't be cleared away by lab testing and life-time bans, that played a big role in why the Mitchell Report was such a huge deal, and even why steroids were so popular in the first place.

As seen over the past few years, baseball has become a sport increasingly driven by statistics. The use of sabermetrics has risen so much, that not only are dorks like me using them for fantasy purposes, but general managers are using them to run their teams. When you pair this with the extreme nostalgia Americans have in respect to baseball, the great "national pastime", it's like mixing 2girls1cup and an underground society of poo-porn lovers.

Specific numbers like 755 and .400 are placed on pedastals made of marble, gold, and everlasting-life juice. Other more general numbers like 300 and 500 are made into exclusive clubs of elite ballplayers, who have seemingly transcended the game and are all of a sudden expected to be lighthouses of morality in this dark, cold place we call Earth full of corruption and death. But what happens when those latter characteristics creep into these wholesome groups of men? All fucking hell breaks loose.

Bonds passed 700. Clemens passed 300. Then they got linked to steroids. Consequently, they get drawn and quartered by the media week-in and week-out, while the hundreds of other ballplayers are curiously ignored. Meanwhile, Shawn Merriman runs roughshod through the NFL, goes through a similar controversy, and no one bats an eye. No media members declare football disgraced, no presidents order government investigations. Let me illustrate a key difference between baseball and football: in football, the goal of a defender is to slam his opponent to the ground, while in baseball, a hitter has to hit a leather ball someplace where it will hit nobody. Given these distinctions, logistically for which sport should steroid use be abhorred? Even a damn Tusken Raider could deduce that the use performance enhancing drugs should be greater shunned in a sport where the health and safety of players are at stake. But no. Instead, Americans care about numbers, and records set by guys 30,50, even 70, years ago, on completely different playing fields.

Journalist Mary McGrory said "Baseball is what we were, football is what we've become", a statement I love. While this quote has multiple implications that can be examined in different arguments, the one that resonates here is the fact that baseball is no longer our "national pastime". It was once the sole, dominant force in American sports, but the emergence of the NFL, NBA, NCAA, NASCAR, NAACP, NAMBLA, etc., has resulted in baseball sharing the glory. Consequently we look to the "good ol' days", times void of steroid use and full of perfect athletic "icons", and constantly compare them to the ballplayers of today. This behavior, paired with the statistical nature of baseball, have led us to the clusterfuck we find ourselves in today, with little insight in to how it will all play out.

I for one can only hope that the players do exactly what their title suggests: play. I don't want a strike, I don't want guys resorting to roids, and I don't want a big hullabaloo made about meaningless records.

I just want Tim Lincecum to stay healthy.

fuck tommy smith

So last night after an eventful and fun evening me abriendo bitches and hungry for tacos capped of the night with a lovely taste of California’s finest. Afterwards all I wanted to do was come home get in my nice comfortable bed with clean sheets (a luxury considering I have only washed my sheets at school twice this semester) and jerk it before bed. While it was hard to put of this task in such a state, I decided I would first check soccernet to see what was happening with Chelsea. While reading an article I was forced to listen to the streaming video with Tommy Smith some Turkish fuck named Janush fagmanuk and another washed up analyst who can only make it onto a soccer sites pop up video. After the big four all clashed this weekend and Arsenal and Manchester both came out on top they had all decided it has now become a two horse race.
Moments before I had been in a great mood but I found myself fuming as I realized these jackasses who cannot even get their facts straight are the ones influencing potential fans who are just starting to appreciate the game of soccer. Chelsea has had a stigma attached to them ever since Roman bought the club and they certainly deserved a bit of that considering the money they spent. Arsenal Man U and Liverpool have huge histories strong academy programs and an aura around them that attracts big players and breeds success. Chelsea were forced to buy their way into that elite club and for that they received a great deal of scrutiny. However, now that we have established ourselves and have had continued success the spending has been cut back and we are developing both English and foreign young talents. Yet still we get all the shit, when really the other big clubs deserve a great deal more. Man U spent a ridiculous 50 million dollars this summer, 22 million of which was for Anderson who hasn’t done shit. Liverpool also spent way more than Chelsea (we only paid a transfer fee for Malouda who has been great), and Arsenal, while I respect Wenge. r and their style of play, has only fielded one English player, Walcott, all season, something that certainly has negative consequences for the English national team and the EPL in general.
I for one love having constructive conversations or arguments about soccer and Chelsea or whatever but I really hate it when retarded ignorant fucks know less about the game than the average fan, and they are the ones giving ammo for other ignorant fags who wanna talk shop with me. For example, Janush believes that Man U are the favorites to win the title. His main reason was the African cup of nations and the fact that Arsenal and Chelsea loose a large number of players for the competition. While this is true for Chelsea it is not for Arsenal. He specifically mentioned the fact that Adebayor would be absent for Arsenal… Check your facts dumbshit Togo didn’t qualify for the tournament so Adebayor will be staying put. I could list countless other examples from this one clip I watched but it would take to long and I need to take a shit, but let me just say its time people start showing Chelsea a little bit of respect. I don’t care if you don’t like them and if you want to support a team whose gonna get relegated (hungry for tacos) but at least check your facts when you criticize or don’t speak at all.
Out like Man U Liverpool and Arsenal from the champions league

Ridin' low, gettin' high...


I just got Birdman's new album 5 Star Stunna. Overall it's not that great, but it has a few tracks that carry it (two that I'm not posting are "Pop Bottles", which you should have already anyways, and "Make Way", which hungryfortacos put up in his latest NFL predictions).

Here's two more:

100 Million - Birdman feat. Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross

Juanfeesh mentioned the video of this in a recent post. When I first saw the title, I was all like "Wait...100 million of what, Birdman?" Silly me! Here's the track.

We Gangsta - Birdman feat. Star and Yo Gotti

This song's nothing special, but it'll do.

Here's a bonus track I got from the blog Punch Your Mother, that I found through Nation of Thizzlam. It's a remix by Amplive of a Radiohead song with Too Short spitting over it, though I admit I don't know which two songs he used. :(.

Nude - Amplive
And just for shits n' giggles, here's another classic Bill Walton clip:

Wu-Tang Clan- 8 Diagrams Review. A Juanfeesh/Hungryfortacos Collabo in the Essay Series


Now I can't speak for Mr. Juanfeesh, but over my first semester at college, new music hasn't been as easy to come by as I hoped. In response, I found myself downloading Wu-Tang Classics, such as Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and previews of upcoming shit, such as Rae's Vatican Mixtapes. So when I heard that Wu-Tang was dropping a new album, first to be released in November and then postponed til December, I went straight to Amazon.com and ordered myself up a copy, which finally came today.

Now since I picked up the album roughly six hours ago, I have listened to it straight through three times. The one thing that has struck me most about the album is the frequent lack of coherence between the rappers on each track. You don't see the back and forth verbal sparring present say on GZA's Shadowboxing or Method Man's Meth vs. Chef. Also, each verse is often separated by a hook or a few bars from the sample, preventing the rhymes from flowing into another, as demonstrated by Biggie and Meth on The What, or most of Raekwon's Guillotine (Swordz). Mr. Feesh asserts that to "the loss of ODB, who was one of the best at transitioning into his flow". While I agree with that to some extent, it's also important to note that Wu-Tang's best years and most cohesive years came more than 10 years ago, so to expect that sort of continued unity from the group may be unreasonable.

That being said, I along with Juanfeesh consider this to be a masterpiece. It has a different feel from Enter the Wu-Tang, but that does not prove to be a bad thing. The album starts off powerfully with Campfire and Take it Back, two more classical sounding Wu-Tang tracks. Method Man has the first verse on the album, and he spits gasoline that he ignites into fire throughout the rest of the album. U-God comes hard as one of the forgotten members on Take It Back, and he has a powerful presence throughout the album.

The album is at its strongest on tracks 4, 6, and 7- Rushing Elephants, While the Heart Gently Weeps, and Wolves respectively. Rushing Elephants has an old school angry Wu sound, perfectly captured in Masta Killah's verse. The Heart Gently Weeps is Feesh's "song of the year" and I would call it one of the best tracks I've heard in a while. Each verse is hot, as three of the best spitters of the group, Rae Face and Meth, absolutely destroy it, with Meth sounding like Cheese from the Wire in what I think might be the best verse of the album. The next song, Wolves, has a sort of funk feel to it with George Clinton on the chorus, and U-God once again laying down a great verse.

The second half has a sort of darker feel, and slowly Ghostface fades from the album and GZA begins to take over. There are two quirky tracks that feature primarily RZA that don't work particularly well with the rest of the album, and I would bet are part of the cause of the controversy in the group.

The album ends strongly with three powerhouse songs, starting with Windmill which according to Juan "has that old Wu-Tang feel as well, but it adds new elements that are from a newer era, especially with the sampling of a little riff from the Kill Bill soundtrack, an homage to the RZA's more recent past." I like Rae's verse on this as he speeds it up a bit. Next is Weak Spot which for John is "is undeniable in its mastery". GZA destroys it in a Liquid Swords fashion, reminding us that he just might be the best pure lyricist of the group. The CD ends with Life Changes, the ODB homage track noticeably missing Ghostface. It's a powerful track, but one that serves to highlight the lack of coherence in the group.

Since each rapper seems so isolated in the album I'm giving each a grade. Method Man deserves an A+ as he sounds the hungriest of all the members, and doesn't drop a single bad verse. U-God and Masta Killa get an A and A- respectively, as they assert their presence with authority. I thought U really was the surprise of the album. I would give Rae and GZA each a B+ as while they bring it on a couple of tracks, they are either missing or sound soft on one or two others. RZA gets a B for solid production and a couple good verses, but his two solo songs bring down the album. Inspectah Deck disappoints in my book, earning him a B-, and Ghostface doesn't come hard when he's on the album, and remains absent for most of it, meriting a C+. I think he might be buying into his own hype a little much.

That being said I'd give the album a solid 4 Tacos out of 5. While Mr. Feesh gives it a 4.5/5.
And I cannot wait to see them on concert on the 27th. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of the last few times they tour together as a group.

The rest I leave to Senor Feesh, who chose his three favorite tracks + a little bonus:

Campfire
- This song is produced masterfully, in starting with a scene around a campfire, it slowly transitions into a bad-ass rap track. It tells a story, not only in the lyrics, but in the way that the beat transforms slowly over the course of the song.

The Heart Gently Weeps Featuring Erykah Badu, Dhani Harrison & John Frusciante - I would call this one of my songs of the year. This version, unlike the leak that came out a couple of months ago, is mixed perfectly. a monumental achievement. Erykah badu and Dhani Harrison (the kin of sampled Beatle's member the late George Harrison) lay it down smoothly, and John Frusciante continues to impress me in the work that he does outside of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, showing to me that he is one of the most forward thinking guitarists in the rock game right now.

Weak Spot
- My favorite beat from the album. RZA is surely one of the best producers of all time; his sound is different than anything else out there, and GZA kills it. I love it.

BONUS: Scarface - Dollar | A track off of his new album, MADE. I have only given it a couple of listens, but so far so good. This track has an old school Scarface beat, accompanied by some great rhymes, but is slower than his older work. The verses are pretty hot, but the chorus is a little soft for my conventional B.A.M.F. Scarface affliction. I still dig. Buy both albums, Wu first and Scarface second.

Out like Penny from Miami.

Widukinds Diary Entry #8



Usually I like to take my time between these to collect my thoughts and come up with something incredibly funny to please my huge fan base on teh internets, but certain things have taken place that prompt me to write again.

I am so sick of sports writers. Honestly. What the fuck is their problem?
My first issue is this whole Anthony Smith thing. Yes, he’s not great, and yes, the Patriots proceeded to pick him apart, but honestly, have sportswriters ever made more of a big deal out of some stupid little comment? The guy literally said “Yeah we gonna win, as long as we come up and do what we supposed to do.” He did say that the Steelers would win, but it wasn’t even close to a Namath-esque guarantee. Of course, since everyone loves to suck the Patriots cock nowadays, the whole thing blew up.
Every r-tard in the world: “Omygawd, Belichick and Brady are gonna be sooooo pissed now! LOL! No way the Steelers are gonna win now because of one mediocre player actually thinking that his own team, god forbid, is going to win!”
Shut up. First of all, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady aren’t idiots. Anthony Smith decided to stick up for his team, instead of providing the same cookie-cutter sound-bites everyone else was feeding to the media about the Patriots and how good they are. Are we expected to think that the Patriots thought that the Steelers were about to roll over and play dead before Smith made those comments? Uh, no. The same columnists who expressed so much disbelief at the Patriots cutthroat style early in the year all of a sudden forgot about all that. The 2007 Patriots are out to dismantle every team they play. They manhandled the Steelers, and they would have done it no matter what had been said earlier in the week. Period.
(I’d also like to point out that the Patriots were going to go after Smith anyways because he’s just not that good, so what fucking difference does it make? Also, if any Steeler fan blames Smith for causing your team to lose, you’re just a complete idiot.)
This leads into my next point of disgust: I have never seen so much sucking of a single teams genitalia in my life. Read this article. Are you kidding me, Gene Wojidsfjsfijfkdpoopski? Instead of writing this crap, why don’t you just go resurrect Golem or Frankenstein or something and staple a picture of Brady’s face to the monsters head and then jack off to it every night before you go to bed? Jesus.
And why the fuck does the media like Brady and Belichick so fucking goddamn fucking much? The guys are complete assholes. After the Baltimore game, neither gave a single compliment to the Ravens. Brady’s most flattering comment was “they made some decent plays”. He’s simply become a completely pompous asshole.
After the Pittsburgh game, Belichick said “we’ve played against a lot better safeties than him”, and something along the lines of “the play at the safety position was very inviting”. Smith didn’t say one negative comment about the Patriots as a team, or Belichick as a coach, but Belichick attacked him anyways. Let me spell that out for you:

A. Coach. Attacking. An. Opposing. Player.

It’s completely classless, yet the media loved every fucking second of it.
Belichick has repeatedly cold shouldered every coach in the traditional post-game handshake. But the media just laughs it off: “Oh that’s just Belichick being Belichick!”
So where the fuck was “Barry being Barry”? Why is Bill Belichick funny because he’s an asshole, while Barry Bonds is…well, just simply an asshole?
Why was LT criticized last year by every Patriot-cock-sucking sports reporter after calling Belichick and the Patriots classless? Are sportswriters just too embarrassed that he may be right, that the whole team-first, Tom Brady swoon-fest is actually just a cover for a bunch of cocky assholes?

I want all of these questions to be answered, ASAP. Or else I’m going to poop in a box and address it:
“TO: New England, FROM: Your Secret…Hater!!!”
Ya.

Out like the Pats in the Divisional Playoffs. Go Jags.

Widukinds Diary Entry #7


Plenty of stuff to get off my chest today...
Topic 1) If you missed out, Pretty Boy Floyd wrecked shop last night in a ridiculous bout with 'Hitman' Ricky Hatton. A TKO in 10 sent a clear message to the boxing world that Mayweather is lb-4-lb the best fighter in the world, and that Brits are poonaninanies...though I did like Hatton's bend-over after he got deducted for hitting Mayweather in the back of the head. But I didn't like the fact that the Brits apparently booed the national anthem. If there's anything that reeks of more irony (real irony or Alannis Morisette irony, whichever applies), I can't think of it, so it probably doesn't exist. What a bunch of tories.
Topic 2) I woke up today at like 10:00... AM! It was very confusing. Maybe it was my body telling me I have alot of work I should be doing instead of smoking and betting on football. But I like to think that it was my body telling me I had alot of smoking and betting I should be doing, instead of sleeping! Early bird gets the worm!
Topic 3) The other day I saw a girl walking in front of me wearing a black shirt that said "You feed on the weak, I swallow the strong!". First I was like, "ewwwwww!!!!" Then I started thinking, well swallowing the strong doesn't make sense, because contextually those people wouldn't be strong at all. So she would be actually swallowing the weak, which is alot less beneficial than actually feeding on them, because a human stomach couldn't handle a whole human nearly as well as a masticated one that had been injested piece by piece. What an odd, unintended conundrum that crazy bz put herself in!
Topic 4) I keep thoughts I have written down on my phone, and then after I write about them I delete them. But one I never got around to writing about was "Dog Day vs. Inside Man". This was right after I saw Dog Day Afternoon for the first time, and I realized it had a lot of things in common with Inside Man, but I never really wrote anything down. Now I can't remember anything. So I'm just suggesting you watch this movie if you haven't already; it's incredible.
Topic 5) How are you guys going to feel when I sweep the fantasy league championships this year? Really, really, really, inferior? Don't worry. I'll feel superior enough to cancel it out and retain equilibrium. :).
Out like all 39 of PBF's opponents.
PS. Also, I just put some GoogleAdsense thing on here. If we can make money, I say we might as well try it! That's not selling out, right? Probably won't get anything but might as well try.

We love you Rodney, and secondly you can kiss my back side...



The whole quote goes like this: we love you Rodney, and secondly you can kiss my back side," Billick said. "But, I don't take offense to what Rodney did and I hope he doesn't misinterpret my gestures, because he's not that good-looking a guy."
Nice one Brian Billick.

Big post I got for you this week: picks, Weezy and some videos so let's get it started. Last week I went 11-5 in picks and am standing at 102-58 (not counting my 0-1 so far this week) and went 8-8 against the spread putting me at 70-82-8 (not counting another 0-1). Let's get it on for Week 14.

Jags, Panthers +11 over Jags. Why a Panthers cover? Cause the Jags are gonna have a little let down after playing very, very well against the Colts.
Cowboys, Cowboys -11 1/2 over Lions. Memo to John Kitna: Why doesn't Jesus love you anymore? I hope the Lions get fucked after what he said last year and I hope Terrance Newman comes through on his promise: "He better just hope I don't blitz off the edge, because I've got 15, 25, 30 (thousand dollars), however much it would be for a fine. I've got that much for one fine."
Dolphins, Dolphins +7 over Bills. That's right, this is the week they break the streak. I'm gonna be honest, I'm rooting for them to win. I don't want to hear about an 0-16 team all offseason.
Packers, Packers -11 over Raiders. Brett Favre better be healthy for the playoffs. Fantasy football playoffs that is.
Chargers, Chargers, -1 1/2 over Titans. I just can't pick Titans games right. The Chargers look to have a little momentum going right now though.
Bucs, Bucs -3 over Texans. Fucking Texans, I needed you to cover last week.
Rams, Rams (NL) over Bengals. Don't ask why, just a gut feeling.
Giants, Giants +3 over Eagles. We win this week, we're as good as in. No Wilson, Ward, Kiwi, and probably Pierce, and wounded Butler, Ross, Smith, Jacobs, and Burress won't help though.
Cardinals, Cardinals +7 over Seahawks. I really don't think the Seahawks are good. And I loved seeing everyone say Sean Alexander is overrated cause I've felt that way for years.
Vikings, 49ers +9 1/2 over Vikings. I think I have picked more Niners games wrong than anyone else. I probably will this week too.
Pats, Pats -10 1/2 over Steelers. I bet the Pats get no calls their way this week.
Browns, Browns -3 1/2 over Jets. You gotta love Bill Simmons ruining the Browns last week by calling them his money cover team.
Broncos, Broncos -7 over Chiefs. The Chiefs are really, really bad. And I'm starting to get really, really sick of Jared Allen, one of my new least favorites.
Colts, Colts -10 over Ravens. Bummer for the Ravens last week. That's all I can think of to say cause the pundits have literally said everything else.
Saints, Saints -3 1/2 over Falcons. If you thought the Saints would only be favored by 3+ against the Falcons at the beginning of the year, people would have called you crazy.

Now here's some new Weezy for all you, this shit is hotter than a sauna:
Birdman Feat. Lil' Wayne and Fat Joe- Make Way

And two youtube gems. I expect you may have seen them, but they still deserve a spot on the blog. One is in honor of tonight's fight:

Not again...



Good God, twice in the span of two weeks I am truly saddened to report something to you. Apparently early this morning, Pimp C, one half of the duo UGK was found dead in an LA hotel. This is a huuuuuge loss for rap music as Pimp was a stalwart producer and him and Bun B really helped Houston on the map in the rap scene. Plus when I was little his verse on Big Pimpin' was fire and my favorite on the song. UGK made some waves with their double CD earlier this year (I'm not gonna lie, I thought International Players Anthem was one of the songs of the year) and Sweet Jones had just been released from jail this past year. First Sean Taylor, now this, this is not been a fun couple weeks.
RIP PIMP C

In memorium is the song with my favorite Pimp C verse:
Three 6 Mafia- Sippin' on Da Syrup (Feat UGK)

Pour a little Manischewitz for him tonight on Chanukah.

By request...



Here are a couple more little ditties I've found recently:

Lupe Fiasco- Dumb it Down


This song isn't necessarily new, and despite not being the biggest Lupe fan (I liked a few of his songs but people were riding him way too hard. No homo.) this song is real hot. The Leon Spinks reference has to be the best part.

Al Fatz- Brim Low

I know I showed a few of you this track during break, and I want to grace you with its presence. On a more serious note Fatz's raps sound exactly like the ones from Came Down and this song would be balls without the "Little Drummer Boy" sample. Merry Christmas bitches.

Glasses Malone Feat. Akon- Certified

If I was in my Highlander on 18's this is what I'd be bumping through my JBL's. If you haven't heard of Glasses, get to know him. I think Game might have found him, and he has his own label on Cash Money despite not having dropped anything yet. Him and Bishop Lamont are the up and comers from the West to look out for. And guess who produced it? DJ Toomp. The man behind T.I.'s "What You Know" and Jay-Z's "Say Hello". I've found a new favorite producer. No homo.

Out like Weezy in Bape.

(He's not wearing it anymore cause Clipse said they were the hottest rappers to wear it)
