Eminem - No Love (feat. Lil Wayne) Video

Dope video. I wonder how Em got Wayne to be in the same room him for the video and Drake couldn't for the Miss Me video?? Oh well.

(Side note: When did that little boy learn how to fight?? I thought he was just gonna pull a pistol out of his bookbag in that final confrontation. I guess I'm the only one who saw that as the best solution.)

Kanye Cancels G.O.O.D. Friday & My Hopes For A Classic Album

No need to wait up for G.O.O.D. Friday tomorrow because it's not coming. As you can see, Kanye is so upset by recent leaks of his album material that he's deading it for a week.

I have no problem with that, it's fair. Why steal what you're being given for free??

Now, what I do have a problem with is this following tweet from late last night:

Okay Kanye, we get it, you're upset about the leaks, but this is just cruel. KiD CuDi AND Soulja Boy?? What the fuck?? Some bootleggers leaking a couple songs is no reason to punish everybody by intentionally flawing your own damn album. Here I was thinking classic, and then I get this news. Man, for an all-time great musical genius, Kanye sure knows how to fuck shit up. Looks like I might have to boycott a second album by one of my favorites. I'm genuinely pissed off by this.

Welp, congrats to Rick Ross, album of the year is all but secured now.

Kat Stacks Kat

This video came out on Tuesday, but hell, better late than never. I really have to find a job that requires less of my time and attention. This being an adult shit is for the birds.

Anyway, I'm not even gonna front, that was a nice looking pussy. I'm not sold on it actually being her's (could've been a pussy stunt double lol), but if it was, congrats to her for keeping up with it through all the abuse. Kat Stacks' pussy's redemption story is something like Oprah's. Through all the adversity and sexual abuse, they both turned out just fine.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm still sure Kat Stacks' kat is as deep as the ocean is blue. Again, like Oprah, all the pain and ugliness is on the inside.

Oh, and I still wouldn't fuck.

(Side note: And why isn't she doing porn, again?? I can't figure it out.)

Chain Letter Spoof

I was watching Jay Pharoah on SNL last Saturday night and was wondering to myself, 'why the hell isn't Affion on SNL??' Now this is no slight to Jay, but Affion does impressions and is just a hilarious dude, so wouldn't it make sense??

Oh well, for the time being Affion is going to be holding it down on Jamie Foxx's new sketch comedy show on FOX tentatively titled "The After Party." I can't wait for that!

Kat Stacks, Brian Pumper Wants YOU!

Can't you see Brian Pumper's face on one of those Uncle Sam poster with the finger pointing trying to recruit Kat Stacks into porn??

Seriously though, why the hell not?? I mean, it's not like she's ashamed of being a whore, might as well get paid for it. Of course I'd have to add her name to the list of pornstars I'm not interested in seeing work, alongside Montana Fishburne and Caviar aka Bethany Benz (after she broke that dude's dick, I just can't watch her shit anymore).

Anyway, B. Pumper makes another plea after the jump.

Kanye West - So Appalled (feat. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & CyHi Da Prynce)

We first ran into this track back in November of '09, and thank goodness is it now a complete product. No need to waste time, happy G.O.O.D. Friday!

Kanye West - So Appalled (feat. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & CyHi Da Prynce)

Another win for Kanye. As far as I'm concerned the track could've went off after Jay-Z's verse, but I'm not mad at Kanye for giving niggas a chance...even though they stood no chance after the shit Hov laid down. Actually, Pusha T did his thing, but it was just overshadowed by Jay. Everything after that really could've been left on the chopping board though.

Bruno Mars - Grenade/Liquor Store Blues

Two new ones of Bruno Mars' debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans which is due October 5th.

Bruno Mars - Grenade

I've definitely been watching too much Jersey Shore because there was a little part of me expecting to hear a song about ugly bitches. I know I'm not alone.

Anyway, wow, this song is awesome! Am I the only one whose Bruno Mars fandom increases by every new track I hear?? I don't know what it is about his music, but I absolutely love it. This record is just stupid, so let's move on to the next.

Bruno Mars - Liquor Store Blues (feat. Damian Marley)

Another heater from Mr. Mars. This kid has crazy talent, and Ne-Yo better get on his shit because he's gunning for his spot in the game right now. Hey, just putting it out there.

Anyway, call me crazy, but I do NOT hate this record. I could've gone without all those failed attempts at clever punchlines by Timberlake, but other than that, I like the feel of the record. Makes me want to pull out my Press Play CD.

Speaking of Diddy albums, where the hell is the Last Train To Paris?? I almost positive we've passed the last release date by now. Maybe Diddy should take a break from retweeting everything Rick Ross tweets and get back in the lab, though that album should be done by now.

NFL Winners & Losers: Week 3

I enjoyed making bowl names so much last week that I decided to it it again! Let the games begin!!!!!!!

1) Cowboys (0-2) @ Texans (2-0)
The Job Uncertainty Bowl!

If the Cowboys lose this game, and fall to 0-3 heading into its super early bye week, who knows what team comes back in Week 5. Will Wade Phillips still be around? How about Jason Garrett? David Buehler? Roy Williams?

Hey guys, here's a way to secure your jobs: WIN!

Guess what, though? The Cowboys are NOT dead! You want to know why?? Well check out my new column "A Case For The 0-2's" where I debunked the "22 of 169 0-2 teams since 1990 missed the playoffs" stat.

Unfortunately, I have no clever column for 0-3 starts, so my Cowboys must win. And for that reason, and that reason only, I'm going with the sacred reserve jinx. That's right, I'm taking Houston to win, and to win big! Texans winners, Cowboys losers.

2) Jets (1-1) @ Dolphins (2-0)
The Jason Taylor Bowl!

So who had Mark Sanchez outdueling Tom Brady, Randy Moss escaping Revis Island only to land on Cromartie Island, and the Jets spanking the Pats by 2 touchdown last Sunday?? Just raise your hand quietly so I know who to call a fuckin' liar. Thank you.

Don't expect a repeat performance from Sanchez this week against Miami's stingy defense. Braylon Edwards' stingy behavior won't help the cause either (though I'm sure he won't miss many offensive snaps despite not starting).

Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the Jets defense is even stingier. I fully expect a low scoring game with the Jets winning by no more than 6 points. Jets winners, Dolphins losers.

3) Packers (2-0) @ Bears (2-0)
The New Gunslingers Bowl!

Unlike the Jason Taylor Bowl, I expect this to be a high scoring affair, possibly the highest of the weekend. Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler whip it around more than Ben Roethlisberger at a small town Georgia nightclub. Neither team has much of a running game, so they'll have no choice but to lean on their QB's arm come Sunday. Awesome for ESPN, not so much for the DBs. Packers winners, Bears losers.

4) Eagles (1-1) @ Jaguars (1-1)
The Michael Vick Liberation Day Bowl!

Mike Vick becomes a starting quarterback again and white folks are pissed! The shit is hilarious, I swear. Yeah, it's messed up Kevin Kolb didn't get a full opportunity to fail, but Andy Reid isn't gonna save his job by waiting on an inexperienced QB to figure it out. Besides, have you seen Philly's offensive line?? They're awful! If anything Kevin Kolb and white people should be happy because if the Lions sacked Vick 5 times, who knows what they would've done to him.

Personally, I'm still torn. I want to see the guy do well, but he plays for a rival team, so I don't want him to do that well.

Welp we'll see what happens when their schedule gets tougher, but Mike Vick will ball this Sunday. Eagles winners, Jaguars losers.

5) Titans (1-1) @ Giants (1-1)
The Keith Bullock Bowl!

Both of these teams got spanked pretty thoroughly last week after Week 1 wins, so as far as I'm concerned, one of these teams is a contender and the other is a pretender.

I'm gonna go ahead and say the Titans are the contender. I'd have much more confidence in that proclamation if Jeff Fisher hadn't pulled Vince Young against the Steelers, but hey, at least he didn't bitch and think about killing himself this time around. That's a positive sign for that fragile minded ass nigga. Besides, Chris Johnson WILL NOT be held down for a second straight week, especially not by a team that came 8 yards short of giving Joseph Addai his first 100-yard rushing day since November 16, 2008. Titans winners, Giants losers.

6) Falcons (1-1) @ Saints (2-0)
The NFC South Bowl!

I know technically the Buccaneers do have a better record than the Falcons, but since they won't be able to play Browns and Panthers every week, I'm sure Atlanta will leap frog them sooner than later. When that happens within the next week or 2, the NFC South will officially be a 2 horse race between the Saints and Falcons.

Anyway, both teams lost back-up running backs Week 2 in Reggie Bush and Jerious Norwood. Bush will obviously be missed more solely because of the fear factor that he may break a huge play at any moment. Now I'm not saying Norwood isn't a good back, but most teams don't have to change what they're doing on defense to account for him.

A bigger issue for the Saints right now is that they just look primed to lose one. At this time last year they were plowing down teams by 20 every week. This year something is different. I'm not sure what it is just yet, but I think Mike Smith will figure it out and lead his club to victory in New Orleans Sunday. Falcons winners, Saints losers.

7) Lions (0-2) @ Vikings (0-2)
The "I Hope Ndamukong Suh Doesn't Kill Brett Favre, No Seriously, I Fear For His Life" Bowl!

As I mentioned above, last week the Lions sacked Michael Vick 5 times. Five times! Michael Vick! And on top of that, they had 11 QB hits on him as well. Yeah, the Eagles' offensive line gets ran through like the boys in the youth ministry at Bishop Eddie Long's church, but that's still not good news for old man Favre, who looks stiffer than Master P on "Dancing With The Stars."

(Side note: Speaking of Favre, could he look like he wants to be at the games any less when he's on the sideline?? It's written all over his face. Why hasn't Bill Simmons coined the "Brett Favre face" yet?? That face deserves it.)

Last week the Dolphins practically begged the Vikings to take that game, and they couldn't. I think they'll get things turned around a little bit this week though, and take advantage of Matthew Stafford being sidelined. Vikings winners, Lions losers.

8) Colts (1-1) @ Broncos (1-1)
The Horse Bowl!

Did you catch Week 2's Colts-Giants Sunday nighter?? Well this game will be a lot like that one. Peyton Manning is gonna fuck the Broncos' Champ Bailey-less secondary and send them cell phone pics in a muscle shirt afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Tim Tebow in this game at some point. Colts winners winner, Broncos losers.

9) Steelers (2-0) @ Buccaneers (2-0)
The "Looks Can Be Deceiving" Bowl!

All these bum ass injuries the Steelers are having at QB are really killing the potential drama of Ben Roethlisberger coming back to a winning team. If Dennis Dixon or Byron Leftwich started all 4 games and lead Pittsburgh to this great start, Mike Tomlin would at least have to consider staying with the hot hand oppose to handing the keys back over to Ben. But since Dixon is out, and Leftwich still hasn't played, when Ben is eligible, he'll just step right in. QB controversy killer. Bummer. Steelers winners, Bucs losers.

10) Bengals (1-1) @ Panthers (0-2)
The Jimmy Clausen Era Bowl!

Man, we knew Jimmy Clausen was the QB of the future in Carolina, but who knew that future would be 2 weeks into the 2010 season??

What happened to Matt Moore?? He went on a tear late last season, and followed it up by losing his job in the second game. You have to suck all kinds of suck for that to happen, and honestly, he did. It's a sad situation, especially for John Fox because his job is all but gone now. Bengals winners, Panthers losers.

11) 49ers (0-2) @ Chiefs (2-0)
The "Are The Chiefs Really 2-0 Right Now?" Bowl!

Could the Chiefs be on their way to the playoffs this year?? Well being a team in the AFC West, they have an extremely soft schedule, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. Don't get it twisted though, this is NOT a good team. Thus far lucky, but not a good team.

On the other side, did the 49ers really almost knock off the Saints Monday night?? I'm still in shock by that. Hopefully their momentum will carry over, but who's to know if it actually will? I mean, they did get destroyed by a not-so-good Seahawks team, that in turn got destroyed in Week 2. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Niners winners, Chiefs losers.

12) Redskins (1-1) @ Rams (0-2)
The "Upset Waiting To Happen" Bowl!

Sam Bradford and the Rams have been knocking on the door each of the first 2 weeks, and I think this is the game they make a breakthrough against an overrated Redskins team. Rams winners, Redskins losers.

13) Browns (0-2) @ Ravens (1-1)
The Art Modell Bowl!

I thought Seneca Wallace would be slightly better than Jake Delhomme, but after last week's outing, where he barely completed half of his passes, I realized they suck about the same. This will be a good opportunity for the Ravens to whip somebody's ass after last week's turnover-riddled game in Cincy. Ravens winners, Browns losers.

14) Bills (0-2) @ Patriots (1-1)
The Blow Out Bowl!

Poor Bills. I know I wasn't the only one who felt sympathy for them when Donte Whitner expressed his displeasure with Buffalo being laughed at by opposing teams. I mean, it doesn't get much more sadder than that, folks. I felt like a dad and wanted to protect my kids.

Well unfortunately I can't protect the Bills, and again they'll be run through cocaine lines at Soulja Boy and KiD CuDi house party. That's why the Blow Out Bowl will be sponsored by K-Y Jelly and the movie "Takers."

Pats winners, Bills losers.

15) Chargers (1-1) @ Seahawks (1-1)
The Fluke Bowl!

It took a flukes for the Chargers and Seahawks to come into this game with the same record. The Chargers' fluke came in the form of a Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, and the Sehawks' fluke came in the form of a mailed-in performance by the 49ers. I think the 2 teams we saw in Week 2 are a lot closer to being reality than the ones we saw in Week 1, so Captain Obvious is going with San Diego to win big. Chargers winners, Seahawks losers.

16) Raiders (1-1) @ Cardinals (1-1)
The Toilet Bowl!

It took all of 1½ weeks for Bruce Gradkowski to replace Jason Campbell as the starter in Oakland, which makes you wonder "Why exactly did the bring in Campbell again?"

Either way, this promises to be an awful game, and you can bank on it ending with some weird score like 16-12 or something like that. Raiders winners, Cards losers.

This Week: 11-5 (.688)
Overall Record: 29-19 (.604)
Last Week: 10-6 (.625)

A Case For The 0-2's

I know ESPN keeps pushing this "only 22 of 169 of the teams that started 0-2 since 1990 made the playoffs" stat, but like most stats, looks can be deceiving. No worries, I'm here to save the day!

Of those 147 teams (169-22=147, for my slower readers) that haven't made the playoffs after an 0-2 start, how many of those teams generally suck year in and year out?? If a team starts off 0-2, there's a great chance that they sucked last year, and the year before that too. How many times have the Lions started off 0-2 since 1990?? How about the Bengals?? The Saints just got good, how about them?? The Bills?? The Browns??

Well I went out a did some research of my own to prove that this 0-2 stat is flawed. I picked the 10 worst teams (Bengals, Bills, Browns, Cardinals, Chiefs, 49ers, Lions, Raiders, Redskins, and Texans; we'll call them the Terrible 10) from the past 10 years (2000-2009), and broke down how many times they started off 0-2, went 7-9 or worse, and how many times they made the playoffs.

Here's what I found:

• Of the 90 times teams started a season 0-2 since 2000, 38 were by the Terrible 10; that's 42%. There's 32 teams in the NFL (barring 2000 and 2001 when there were 31), so the bottom ⅓ of the teams in the NFL, represent 42% of the times a team has started 0-2 since 2000.
• Sixty-six (66) times the Terrible 10 finished the season 7-9 or worse since 2000.
• The Terrible 10 only made the playoffs a collective 14 times over the past decade. Three of which were by the Raiders from 2000-2002, including one season when they made it to the Super Bowl.
• The 2006 Chiefs (9-7) were the only Terrible 10 team that made the playoffs in the 38 combined seasons they've started 0-2. That means 97% of the time 1 of these 10 teams starts off 0-2, they miss the postseason.
  
• If these findings from the Terrible 10 of the 2000's were projected to the Terrible 10 teams of the 90's, the combined total would represent half of the 147 teams that have started 0-2 and missed the playoffs since 1990.
  

Again, these stats only account for the 10 worst teams over the past decade, and doesn't include all the mediocre teams like the Rams, Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, Saints, Bears, Jaguars, and Buccaneers, who have had their fair share of 0-2 starts, sub 7-9 records, and playoff-less seasons.

The point is this, usually it's not a fluke when a team starts off 0-2. Most of the time those teams have a history of sucking, and that "22 of 169" statistic does not account for all those repeat offenders, like the teams I mentioned above. So instead of having a 13% chance of making the playoffs after an 0-2 start, like ESPN Stats & Information suggests, it's actually closer to 50%.

Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

1) Andy Reid Names Michael Vick Eagles Starter
This move coming 2 days after Reid said Kevin Kolb would be the starter means one thing and one thing only: Reid's job is on the line. If Reid had job security, he would've went with Kevin Kolb and let him work through his issues. But since he needs to win now to keep his job, he can't afford to keep a player as talented as Mike Vick on the bench. That's just what it is.

That was my objective view as a football fan, here's how I really feel as a Cowboy fan: This blows!

Obviously Vick gives the Eagles the best chance to win, and with the Cowboys already 0-2, it makes our road to the playoffs even tougher. And on top of that, I want to see Mike Vick do well, and that's really why this blows. I mean, what the fuck?? I can't root for Philly, I'm a Dallas fan, but I do want Vick to succeed. I'm not torn in my allegiance, I'm 100% Cowboy, but this just sucks. Fuck!

*Readies pro Kevin Kolb chants for Sunday*

2) Braylon Edwards Arrested For DWI
What an idiot! I know it's been said 1,000 times already today, but Braylon, you live in New York GET A FUCKIN' CAB!

(Side note: If Madden really wants to get realistic, on Madden 12 they should delete that wack ass swagger rating and insert a character rating and suspensions. Guys with low character ratings end up with random suspensions (DWI, found with gun, club fight, domestic violence, and of course rape). Oh, and anybody could get suspended for taking performance enhancing drugs. That would be AWESOME! It gets no realer than that. Get on that EA.)

3) Reggie Bush Breaks A Leg
Man, 2010 sucks for Reggie Bush. Oh well, all I wanna know is why couldn't he have broke his leg a little closer to Thanksgiving?? I'm just saying.

4) Brandon Jacobs Fined For Helmet Toss
How many cameras are there in football stadiums these days?? Well how was this alleged helmet toss not caught by any of them?? You'd think the NFL would at least want to see what exactly happened before they issued a fine, but I guess not.

5) Redskins Cut Larry Johnson
The Redskins couldn't get any use out of Larry Johnson?? I'm shocked!

(Side note: I wonder when was the last time he talked to Jay-Z?? He was on the Roc for less time than Teairra Mari.)

Bill Simmons Guest Hosts 'PTI' All This Week

Even though Bill may, or may not have insulted me on my own website back in July, I remain a loyal fan. So you can probably imagine how excited I was to hear he was finally going to guest host PTI today, and for the rest of the week.

Bill and Dan LeBatard said they'd host PTI together at some point on their 30 for 30 podcast, but for his virgin week he'll be paired with Tony Kornheiser. Simmons and Kornheiser?? Oh, I can dig it!

It's a damn shame I have this whole job thing going on, and will miss all of them, except for Friday's show. Oh well, thank goodness for the PodCenter.

The Arian Nation Logo

I talked about it Friday, and I be about it this morning. The Arian Nation logos are in full effect! Check out how the "Foswastika" replaces that bum ass star in the Texans' logo (I know Texas is the "Lone Star State" and all, but the star is our thing).

Alright, do with it what you must Arian "Nation" Foster fans, but when these start going on sale all over the U.S. I want my cut! Now go out there and spread my work bitches!

Kanye West - Lord Lord Lord (feat. Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon & Charlie Wilson)

G.O.O.D. Friday finally came a few hours into Saturday, but who cares, I'm definitely not gonna complain about all this good ass free music Yeezy is dropping.

Kanye West - Lord Lord Lord (feat. Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon & Charlie Wilson)

...And it does not disappoint once again. Of course they could've left Swizz Beatz's clearly unfinished verse off the track, but it's dope regardless.

Man, Kanye is on a hellified run here. A lot of niggas can't put together consecutive good songs on an album they've been working on for a year, Kanye is doing it with random songs he's dropping every week.

NFL Winners & Losers: Week 2

Let's call Week 1 of the 2010 season the "Kim Kashashian week." No, not because she dates NFL players, but because a bunch of teams sucked their way to victory. Rimshot!

Thank you, I'll be here all week folks.

1) Patriots (1-0) @ Jets (0-1)
Man, has any team ever been condemned more for a 1 point loss to a good team than the Jets?? The last time I checked, everybody and their momma's momma had the Ravens representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, but somehow it was a surprise they were able to beat the Jets. I don't get it.

Now with that said, the Jets offense obviously has to play better this week. Mark Sanchez can't throw for 74 yards, and LaDainian Tomlinson can't be their lead back. Shonn Greene was putrid Monday and is already making me look brilliant for saying the Jets would regret letting Thomas Jones go. Of course Shonn could go crazy for the next 15 games, but for at least one week I'm right.

The Patriots, on the other hand, are clearly set on offense. They demolished the Bengals' very good defense last week, and with Darrelle Revis and his bad hammy shit talking Randy Moss, I think they'll do the same to the Jets. I want to pick the Jets here, but you just can't go tugging on Superman's cape all willy nilly. I am concerned with Rex Ryan's D being all up in Tom Brady's face, but I still think he and Randy will make Revis eat his words. Patriots winners, Jets losers.

2) Ravens (1-0) @ Bengals (0-1)
If Carson Palmer is gonna continue to play in the NFL, he can't show up to the stadium at halftime! I mean, what kind of professionalism is that?? He's supposed to be the leader of this team....

What, he played in the first half?? Did the Pats defense know that?? Oh, my bad.

Well the Bengals have another poor secondary coming in this week who didn't get tested at all in Week 1. Carson is at least going to try to test them. For some reason I have a good feeling about this game. Bengals winners, Ravens losers.

3) Bears (1-0) @ Cowboys (0-1)
Before I get started with Bears-Cowboys, allow me a second to place blame for Sunday's "loss" to the Redskins.

There's plenty candidate for this dishonor. You've got Alex Barron, Jason Garrett, Wade Phillips, Tashard Choice, etc., but no one is more to blame than kicker David Buehler. That's right, if he hits that 34-yard field goal, the entire outlook of that game changes. The game is 3-3 going into the half and that Romo shuffle pass to Choice never happens and Washington never get 7 extra points.

Now I'm not saying we should get rid of Buehler after one kick, but if we're gonna blame anybody for that "loss" let's blame him.

Okay, now onto this week's game against the Bears:

I'm not worried about the Bears, they needed a super lame rule to beat the Lions while quarterbacked by Shaun Hill. Jay Cutler put up a lot of yards, but I'm definitely not worried about him either.

What I am worried about is Marc Columbo. I'm just praying that if he comes back that he's actually ready and not just rushing back like he did for the playoffs last year. But then again, if we can't beat the Bears at home to avoid 0-2, then we deserve to suck this year. Cowboys winners, Bears losers.

4) Texans (1-0) @ Redskins (1-0)
Why do the Redskins even get a win for Week 1?? The Cowboys beat the Cowboys, the Redskins were just the nearest witnesses. In fact, we gave them more points (7) than they scored for themselves (6). The most they should get is a tie. Either that, or we need to separate wins into "earned wins" and "given wins." It's an idea.

Texans fans are very excited after beating the Colts in Week 1, and why shouldn't they be?? I mean, forget the fact that Matt Schaub was awful, throwing for 107 yards with a 52.9 completion percentage, that dude Arian Foster is a beast! Which brings me to this:

Now that he's everybody's new favorite running back, I think we should call all his fans "The Arian Nation." Their logo can be a swastika with 4 F's. Don't act like that shit wouldn't be ill either. So there, it's set. I want to see t-shirts, hats, sweaters, banners, foam fingers, baby onesies, adult onesies, lamps, bed sheets, and the whole nine with Arian Nation logos. Hell, I like this idea so much that I'm just gonna call him that too, Arian "Nation" Foster. He should look into getting that on his driver's license.

Texans winners, Redskins losers.

5) Giants (1-0) @ Colts (0-1)
It's the Manning Bowl!

Heady move by Eli locking Peyton in the closet because that's the only advantage the Giants will have Sunday. The worse thing that could've happened to the Giants is the Colts losing last week because out of all the 0-1 teams, I'm absolutely 1000% positive Indy won't go 0-2. That just won't/can't happen.

Then when you factor in that it's a night game (Peyton Manning has a ridiculous record in night games), in Indianapolis, and just the fact that the Colts are a better team than the Giants, you should be able to guess where I'm going with this one. Colts winners, Giants losers.

6) Dolphins (1-0) @ Vikings (0-1)
It's the Greg Camarillo Bowl!

Both of these teams scare me offensively, and not in a good way. The Saints proved last Thursday that if you take Visanthe Shiancoe away from Brett Favre, he's all but hopeless. You'd think they'd try to get Greg Camarillo involved against his former team, but then again, I thought they'd try to get him involved at some point before 3rd quarter against N.O., and they didn't.

Last week the Dolphins struggled to put points up on the board...against the Bills. That's unacceptable (though the Bills do have a pretty respectable secondary). I shutter to think how they'll look against a real defense like the Vikings'. If they're actual to keep it low scoring and thrash the Vikes D-line with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams they should be fine. Unfortunately for Miami, I don't think it will.

I don't love Minny's chances of making the playoffs, but I also don't think they'll drop their first 2 games. Vikings winners, Dolphins losers.

7) Eagles (0-1) @ Lions (0-1)
Michael Vick will get the start for the Eagles Sunday and most likely pour a few gallons of gasoline on the flaming quarterback controversy in Philly. There shouldn't be any controversy though, the Eagles should stick with Vick until the fans start begging for Kevin Kolb.

Oh, and speaking of the fans, I love how they want Mike Vick starting now, after they didn't even wanting him on the team just last year. Sports fans are great, aren't they? Oh well, they deserve this mess for always wanting to get rid of Donovan McNabb. Now he's gone and they're loss without him. Well at least they will be after this win on Sunday. Eagles winners, Lions losers.

8) Steelers (1-0) @ Titans (1-0)
It's a shame the Steelers don't have Ben Roethlisberger for this game because this could really be a goodie. All the Steelers have now is a great defense, but I don't think that's gonna be enough to stop the Titans. Dammit, Roethlisberger's wang strikes again. Titans winners, Steelers losers.

9) Saints (1-0) @ 49ers (0-1)
I'm pissed off the 49ers tricked me again! I thought they were supposed to be good this year?? And it's not like the Seahawks were this unstoppable force on offense, their 247 total yards ranked 28th out of the 32 teams in Week 1, but still, they hung 31 on the Niners. That's pathetic.

Frank Gore was on First Take this morning saying coach Mike Singletary thanked Pete Carroll and the Seahawks for whipping them like that. Well I hope he has his thank you cards in order and filled out with a New Orleans address because this game won't be close. Saints winners, 49ers losers.

10) Cardinals (1-0) @ Falcons (0-1)
The Cardinals struggled to put away the Rams in Sam Bradford's first game while he threw 55 passes and 3 interceptions.I say Matt Ryan and the Dirty Birds bounce back at home in Week 2. Falcons winners, Cardinals losers.

11) Jaguars (1-0) @ Chargers (0-1)
The Chargers got caught in the perfect storm Monday night in Kansas City (literally and figuratively), but despite their September troubles, I say win #1 comes now. Chargers winners, Jaguars losers.

12) Buccaneers (1-0) @ Panthers (0-1)
Matt Moore certainly didn't pick up where he left off in 2009 against the Giants, he completed less than half of his passes and threw 3 to the wrong team last week. For the Panthers sake, they better hope he gets his mojo back this week or the Jimmy Clausen era will be gettin started sooner than anyone thought. Panthers winners, Buccaneers losers.

13) Bills (0-1) @ Packers (1-0)
Blowout! Lock it in. Packers winners, Bills losers.

14) Seahawks (1-0) @ Broncos (0-1)
I'm just gonna assume last week's performance was a fluke and the Seahawks will be who we think they are. Broncos winners, Seahawks losers.

15) Chiefs (1-0) @ Browns (0-1)
At first I was concerned that Jake Delhomme might miss this game and Seneca Wallace would have to fill in. Then I remembered Jake Delhomme was just Jake Delhomme. The Browns will be fine (if not better) with Seneca at the helm. Besides, the Chiefs got one over on the Chargers, but don't expect that to be a recurring thing, they aren't that good. Browns winners, Chiefs losers.

16) Rams (0-1) @ Raiders (0-1)
I think the Raiders will win about 7 or 8 games this season, this will be one of them. Raiders winners, Rams losers.

This Week: 10-6 (.625)
Overall Record: 18-14 (.563)
Last Week: 8-8 (.500)

Zach Galifianakis Says 'Hangover 2' Begins Filming In October

Zach sat down with some dude from Access Hollywood and let us know "The Hangover 2" will begin filming next month. IMDB says it's on schedule to be released on May 26th, 2011. That's a pretty tight window, so I'm sure one of these dates is wrong and I'm gonna assume the latter.

Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert's Big Announcements

As you can see from the picture above (and if you were watching "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report" just now), the big announcements are Jon Stewart's "Rally To Restore Sanity" and Stephen Colbert's "March To Keep Fear Alive," both taking place in Washington, D.C. on October 30th. Sounds AWESOME!

Now that we've got those announcements all announced, and what not, the only thing yet to be decided is who is gonna sponsor my trip to D.C.?? Come on guys, don't act like you don't want to pay for me to go on vacation. Be a pal, donate a plane ticket. I'll be waiting.

Random News Shit: NBA Headlines

1) Dwight Howard Sues Baby Momma For $500,500,000
No, that's not a typo, Dwight Howard is really suing his BM Royce Reed for five-hundred million, five-hundred thousand dollars. I know "Basketball Wives" was successful, but I'm almost positive she ain't got it. Hell, Dwight Howard doesn't even have that kinda money himself lol.

Lil Duval was joking about it earlier on Twitter because that truly is an odd number to ask for. I'm not mad at him for suing her, but $500,500,000 might be a tad excessive. Besides, suing for such an outrageous number isn't exactly the best way to get your name out of the news for non-basketball related issues.

(Side note: Can we finally change "Basketball Wives" to "Basketball Baby Mommas" (or "Basketball BMs" for short) once and for all and be done with it?? We all know that only one of the broads is even married, and her husband doesn't even play anymore. I think it's time.)

2) Rockets Limit Yao Ming To 24 Minutes A Game
Poor Yao. Maybe it's time for him to call it a career? I mean, it's not like he's gonna get any smaller, so his foot problems aren't going anywhere whether he plays 24 minutes per game or 40. And it's not like he's an old man either, he just turned 30 on Sunday. I say get those retirement papers ready.

3) Heat Take Their Talents To Fort Walton Beach
From September 28th through October 3rd the new Miami Heat will kick off training camp in Fort Walton Beach, Florida oppose to South Beach, Florida. Honestly, I don't give a shit where the practice, I just can't wait to see them play! I'm absolutely giddy for the 2010-11 NBA season. In fact, I might have to make a trip to Miami to watch their first preseason game again Detroit on October 5th. Anyone wanna drive me??

Kanye West Doubles Up On October XXL Cover

I don't buy magazines anymore, but I'm most likely gonna pick this one up when it comes out on the 28th. I think the last magazine I bought was that Kanye-50 Cent face off Rolling Stones cover from back in '07. Wow, that was a long ass time ago. Maybe I should keep the streak alive??

Anyway, here's a little preview and some more info the new issue.

Thursday Billboard Update - 9/16/10

We have a new #1, but not much to talk about in the Billboard 200 this week.

Same goes for the Hot 100, though Flo Rida's Club Can't Handle Me hops 13-9 and enters the top 10. But that's it.

The Billboard 200 1-10

• Dorrough's Get Big checks in at #68 with 5,500 albums sold.
• Chingy's Success & Failure fails to chart on the Billboard 200. I think we can go ahead and drop the "Success &" portion from the title.

• Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World) debuts at #75. If you're gonna add the "In The World" part of the time in the parenthesis, why not just make it a part of the title?? It's not like you can take the "Only Girl" part out and the song could be called "In The World." The parenthesis is supposed to be for a secondary title, not a continuation of the title. Thank you.

Nas Announces The Lost Tapes Vol. 2 Is Coming!

**UPDATE**
The Lost Tapes Vol. 2 now has a release date and it's December 14th! I told you it'd be here before the year was up (the Industry Prognosticator on the job!).

Wow, this is excellent news! I've been waiting for another one since the first one dropped in 2002. It was so classic! From Doo Rags to Blaze A 50 to Drunk By Myself to Black Zombie, that shit was NICE. Would I rather have a new Nas album? Sure I would, but this definitely isn't a bad constellation prize.

No release date or info is available yet, but I'm sure it'll be here before 2010 is up. Now excuse me while I got find my CD and spark a quick jam session.

A Few Thoughts On Ines Sainz

Thought #1: Damn, that bitch is fine!
What exactly is the big difference between the picture above and this picture here, besides the material the pants are made of?? Here's a hint: there isn't any! If you bring that ass above in a locker room full of half naked, adrenaline charged guys, what else do you expect to happen?? Hell, if you brought that ass into an actual office place, the guy's reactions might not be too different.

The way I see it, as long as no one (a) put their hands on her in any way, (b) made any obscene gesture towards her, (c) made comments like, "She sure looks primed for a-rapin'," or (d) pulled a Chris Rainey, then there is no problem here.

She looks good. She knows she looks good, we know she looks good, her employer knows she looks good, she's just a fine ass woman. To bring all that fineness into a room of all men and expect no one to say react in any way is quite unrealistic.

Thought #2: If she didn't bring this up, then who did??
I must admit, when I saw her interview on CBS's "The Early Show," I almost fell for her story. Then I thought "wait a minute, if she was so embarrassed by the situation and didn't make the charge, then why is she on this U.S. media blitz??" Good attempt Ines, but don't try to blame someone else for making charges for you and then go on a promotional tour to every network morning show like you're a best selling author with a new book on the horizon. I'm not buying it.

Honestly, I think she saw an opportunity to get some attention and went for it. Breaking news, I know, but the super hot chick is most likely in it for the fame. Look, I don't care if you're a debater of Barack Obama's skill, you're gonna have a hard time trying to convince me she's not, and that someone else made the claims for her.

The bottom line is that I see no way she's been in NFL locker rooms (or hell, any male sports locker room for that matter) before this and no one ever said anything to/about her until she encountered the outspoken Jets. That's just unrealistic, especially if she's ever been in the locker room of a Mexican team. Now I've never been in a Mexican sports locker room myself, but something tells me they'd be even less professional towards a hot media chick in their locker room than an American team. Not because their less civilized, but because we have such ridiculous standards and practices when it comes to things like sexual harassment.

Thought #3: I bet I can guess her likely thought process.
Since this is most likely just an attention grab, I bet she was thinking (a) this team is in the news a lot, (b) this team is really really in the news a lot, (c) they're located in New York, the media capital of the world, and (d) Mark Sanchez is Mexican, so I can use that as an excuse to be in the locker room. Her plan was bound to work.

(Side note: Thoughts "e" through "z" were what to wear to attract men's eyes, but still be conservative enough to pass.)

Thought #4: Why are they trying to use Clinton Portis as a scapegoat?
I saw a headline on NFL.com yesterday that said Clinton Portis was "adding fuel to the fire." How so?? The last time I checked, he doesn't play for the Jets, wasn't in their locker room Saturday, and has absolutely nothing to do with this situation. I could see if he came out and said, "Man that bitch is lying!" But he all he said was that if a women goes into a room of 53 men she's likely to see at least one she's attracted to, just like a male would in a room of 53 women.

He actually had to apologize over that. No, seriously, he did. What a fuckin' joke. As far as I'm concerned, Clinton Portis had about as much reason to apologize as Kevin Durant has to give back his FIBA World Championship gold medal and tournament MVP award.

Oh, and then there's the little fact that what Portis said was true. People might not like it, but it is.

It kills me how much in denial we have to act in America when it comes to issues involving sex. It's sad really. Now everybody in the NFL is going to have to watch some stupid ass sexual harassment video because some hot Mexican "reporter" chick saw an opportunity to get some attention.

Which brings me to my final thought...

Thought #5: Why are athletes held to higher professional standards than reporters??
Everyone is always talking about what athletes should do, how athletes should act, where athletes can go, but rarely is the table turned on the reporters and media members, who are basically allowed to get their story by any means necessary. The media is pretty much allowed to legally stalk people to get a scoop, and athletes and celebrities just have to take it. Why?? Do we really need coverage of every move someone makes?? I'm just saying.

Now let's recap: saying, "I wish I was Mexican" = unprofessional. Shoving a microphone in a half naked guy's face = standard practice. Awesome. See you on Celebrity Apprentice, Ines.

Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

1) Reggie Bush Decides To Forfeit Heisman
I haven't really spoke on this whole story, but allow me a moment to sum my feelings on it up in one word: Bullshit!

This is why I can't support college athletics, especially football. In the history of NCAA rulings, has one ever fit the crime?? I'm serious, has it ever once?? And I know the NCAA didn't make him do this, but them and their retarded slave rules made it possible that a player can essentially be stripped of an award he earned on the field over an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with the game of football. I could see if Reggie was found to have done steroids, but he took money. What in the FUCK does that have to do with what he accomplished on the field in 2005?? Seriously, what?? Don't worry I'll wait.

2) Kris Jenkins Done For 2010 After Just 6 Plays
This sucks. I know that's not breaking news, but you just gotta hate to hear this (unless you're in the KKK).

As we all know, he hurt this same knee 6 games into last season (hmmm, 6 may be his lucky number), and at 31 years of age, it might be time to call it a career. Obviously 31 isn't old for a D-lineman, but damn, a torn ACL in the same knee, less than a year later?? That's tough. Besides, if he comes back for 2011, how long can the Jets expect him to play before tearing it again, 6 seconds?? Get it?? Nevermind.

3) Packers Place Ryan Grant On IR
Shit! This is an even bigger blow to the Packers than Kris Jenkins' injury is to thee Jets. I'm not sure who else Green Bay has in its backfield, but I hope dude is ready for primetime. Okay, that one was pretty obvious, but hey, it's true.

4) Eagles Under Investigation By NFLPA Over Concussions ...Then Left Alone
Yeah, I figured this was coming when I saw Stewart Bradley re-enter Sunday's Eagles-Packers game minutes after staggering off his feet after suffering a concussion. I watched this game up until halftime (when I stepped out to buy more Sierra Mist Cranberry and grab some pizza for the Cowboys game), and I had no idea Kevin Kolb even had a concussion in that 2nd quarter.

Oh well, it's not like it was the only botched decision by Andy Reid in that game.

(Side note: I love how the NFL is getting more serious about concussions, while simultaneously looking to increase player's workloads by going to 18 game seasons. I mean, because what better way to show concern over an issue than enhancing the likelihood of recurrence??)

5) Bob Sanders Hurt...As Usual
Good ol opt-injured Bobby S. tore a tendon in his biceps and is out indefinitely. The Colts are use to playing without him though, so I guess this isn't that big of a deal. Might be time for him to call it a career as well, but because of my "Bob Sanders is injured" story fatigue.

6) Broncos Trade For Laurence Maroney
You gotta feel like shit right now if you're Laurence Maroney. Not because you're leaving the Patriots, but that you're a running back going to the Broncos. They've run through like 4 or 5 already, and Laurence already missed the season opener due to injury, so now it's just a matter of time before he hits the IR.

Bad past few months for niggas named Laurence.

7) UF's Chris Rainey Faces Stalking Charge
I know this is NFL shit, but it is hilarious shit. I'll make this quick, but I'd be lying if I said I'd never pull a Chris Rainey and text somebody, "It's time to die, bitch." That shit is too funny! LMAO!

This Week In Flops 9/14/10

I could just be slipping, but I had no idea this album was coming out until this past Friday. Usually when that happens, I know I'm not alone that, but this time I'm pretty sure I am.

Ladies love Trey (since he blew up, but definitely not before), so I'm sure this will top the charts next week. I'm thinking somewhere in the 140-180k range.

(Side note: How creepy is this album cover?? Trey looks like a stalker looking outside somebody's window. Nobody at Atlantic realized this??)

Okay, I may have been the only person who didn't know Trey Songz's new album was dropping, but I KNOW I'm not the only one who had no idea Marques Houston was even recording a new album, let alone releasing one. What a terrible day for an R&B singer to release album. Marques' label must not like him very much, because besides being washed up hindering this album's sales, dropping on the same day as the reigning R&B King surely does. This would be like Black Rob dropping an album on the same day as Jay-Z.

Anyway, I'm guessing 5-15k.

(Side note: Again, what's up with the album cover?? Why put a big extra hairy arm dead in the center of an album targeted at women?? Cool if it's the 70's, not so much in 2010.)

I thought this was a mixtape?? Oh, aight then.

Well I love Rah Digga, and I'm glad to see her back, but we all know this isn't gonna sell. That's not necessarily a terrible thing, I mean, it's not like she was ever a huge mainstream artist anyway. I'm gonna go with 2-10k.
