Linsanity Out For Season With Knee Linjury
...Of course if the Knicks make the playoffs and upset their first round opponent (most likely the Bulls), we could see Lin return at some point in May...but I doubt that happens. Then again, the 8th seeded Knicks did knock off the #1 seeded Heat and make a run to the Finals in the last lockout shortened season in 1999, so it's not an impossibility. Improbable, but definitely not impossible.

Charles Barkley In A Dress
I meant to post this yesterday, but isn't this turrible? This shit coupled with kissing Dick Bavetta on the mouth a few years back has really got me wondering about Chuck's sexuality.
(Side note: Doesn't Chuck in drag kinda like Tami Roman from Basketball Wives? No disrespect to Tami, she's the only reason I still watch Basketball Wives at this point, but it's true lol.)
Mr. Ghetto - Super Freak Bounce
The ashy elbows on the skinny bald head chick should've been enough, but when the 2 Popeye's employees went outside to twerk in uniform I just lost it. Too fucking funny!
But on some real shit, Comedy Legend Mr. Ghetto really need to go fight them hoes from the Walmart video because the hoes he had in this video were just unacceptable. I'm not even positive the big one in the red cheetah print was a woman. It wouldn't be the first time a Mr. Ghetto video featured a male twerker.
Slaughterhouse Speaks After Joe Budden's Arrest
If you hadn't heard, Joey was arrested right before a Slaughterhouse concert in New York yesterday over an unpaid $75 parking ticket. Gotta love that NYPD using all their resources keeping criminals off the streets.
On another note, thank goodness this didn't happen in Florida because there would've been hell to pay if Joe Budden got arrested over a parking ticket in the same state George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony murdered people and got away with it.
Freeway Rick Ross Speaks On Court Case To Rick Ross
On one hand I feel bad for him, but on the other hand I don't know what he expected to get by suing fake Rick Ross. A part of me also wonders why he never went after Freeway also taking a part of his name? Is it because Freeway isn't as successful or is it because Ross took 2/3 of the name and Free only took 1/3? Oh well, whatever.

Giants To Host Cowboys In Season Opener
Now, as many have pointed out, Super Bowl champs are 8-0 hosting the Thursday night kickoff game since the NFL started doing it in 2004. I'm not worried though because this game will be played on a Wednesday because of the Democratic National Convention.
Win or lose, I'll be happy to get 9 days of rest before our next game....but of course I'd be much happier if we got that rest after winning.

Big K.R.I.T. Gets A Release Date
I haven't been on any of my favorite Hip-Hop blogs in weeks, so I'm sure I'm late as fuck with the news that Big K.R.I.T.'s debut album Live From The Underground has an official release date of June 5th. Hopefully that stick because I'm tired of my man giving away all his music for free.
The other big news K.R.I.T. dropped on Sway was that he has a feature from B.B. King on the album. That's huge! Usually when rappers don't wanna reveal their "big" features it's just another rapper, but this one is major. Can't wait to hear Praying Man featuring B.B. King.

Tim Tebow Traded To The Jets
Wow, wow, wow! I knew there would be a market for Tim Tebow, but not the biggest market in America. Even though I knew Tim Tebow wouldn't end up in Jacksonville (for reasons I stated yesterday), I'm totally shocked the Jets would make this move. I'm not surprised they showed interest, because like I said Monday, Tony Sparano (the guy who brought the Wildcat back) is the new offensive coordinator there, but I never thought they would actually do it. They're basically begging for their locker room to be divided.
Poor Mark Sanchez, as if the pressure wasn't on enough, he gets the displeasure of fans clamoring for Tim Tebow with every incompletion and interception. I know it's going to be hard, but he needs to take his dick out of Kate Upton immediately and hit the practice field because if he doesn't have a Drew Brees, Tom Brady-like season, he's going to be in Hell.
And as far as the Broncos go, throwing Tim Tebow into such a potentially volatile situation probably isn't going to help reverse any of that bad karma.
(Side note: The Dolphins lose again.)

Random News Shit: Entertainment News Edition
I know MTV wants to capitalize on Snooki being pregnant, but give her her own show or something (one separate from the one with JWOWW). Nobody wants to see a pregnant Snooki living in the Jersey Shore house, going to the club, and working at the Shore Store like she isn't rich and famous now.
2) The Situation Checks Into Rehab
So The Situation was on a substance outside of steroids? I wonder what his drug of choice was?
Well whatever it was, this is just another reason Jersey Shore needs to end as presently constituted. Nobody wants to see the same old show with MTV trying to pretend like they all aren't super rich and famous.
3) Michael Bay Says He's Not Going To Sodomize The Ninja Turtles
First off, let me say that as a life-long Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, I'm not thrilled about someone remaking the movie. Add that to the fact that they're going to change the story completely (How in the FUCK can the Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles being from an alien race?!?) and this whole thing just pisses me off.
Look, I fucks with Michael Bay. I love the "Bad Boys" movies and I've seen all of the "Transformers" movies in the theater, but this is just unacceptable. I hope the movie is excellent and they don't change the story, but if they do, then it's FUCK Michael Bay all the way.
4) Martin Lawrence Is Coming Back To The Small Screen
Apparently this has been floating around for awhile, but I just heard about it yesterday when HollywoodReporter reported P.J. Byrne of "Horrible Bosses" was joining the cast for the pilot episode.
I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, it's good to hear Martin might be coming back to TV, but on the other hand, the actual show Martin is so classic and I know there's no way he's going to top it, or even come close, with this new show. I'm more confused than Young Buck on the phone with 50 Cent right now.

Random News Shit: NFL Free Agency Edition Pt. 3
Anyway, Peyton's deal is for 5 years and worth $96 million. Does anyone actually think Peyton has 5 years left in the NFL?
What?! I totally can't believe there's a market for a quarterback who took a 1-4 team to the playoffs and won a playoff game.
The more I hear everyone say the Jaguars should get Tim Tebow, the more I'm positive there's no way the Jags will get Tim Tebow. If the Broncos are interested in trying to reverse some of the bad karma they've gained, asking Tebow where he'd like to go would probably help.
3) Hines Ward Retires
Damn, I guess he really was serious about not wanting to play for anybody but the Steelers.
The Steelers might be in for a little bad karma themselves because they definitely did Hines dirty. There's no loyalty in this sports shit, which is why I say go get the money if you have the opportunity and fuck everybody who talks about players should want to win championships blah, blah, blah.
Alex knows damn well his ass wasn't going anywhere. Try to put together back-to-back competent seasons before you try your luck in the free agent market.
5) Eagles Land DeMeco Ryans From Texans For 4th Round Pick

You mean to tell me fans weren't excited about getting rejected by everyone from Peyton Manning to Matt Flynn and the eventual David Garrard signing?? That I just can't believe.
8) Jaguars Sign Aaron Ross
He's never really done much damage to the Cowboys, but I guess this is a positive move for my Boys.

Peyton Picks Broncos + Top 5 Reasons It Won't Work
I can't believe it, Peyton Manning has willingly decided to be a Denver Bronco! Sure, they have some pieces, but is this a better situation than he's shunning in San Francisco, Tennessee, or Arizona? I guess we'll have to wait and see, but without further ado, the top 5 reason Peyton Manning won't work in Denver:
5. No dome
From the beginning, I thought Peyton Manning would choose to play for the Arizona Cardinals for one reason and one reason only: They play in a dome. Not to take away from the greatness of Peyton, but for 8 games a year, every year he played in a dome, and obviously Mile High is dome-less.
(Note: The only time Peyton has ever loss in Denver was in 2005 in the last game of the season when he only threw 2 passes and sat out the rest of the game.)
4. Cold weather city
Not only do the Broncos not play indoors, but it gets old as balls in Denver. Will Peyton's fused neck hold up under those weather conditions? And that's not to mention that he has been known to struggle (for Peyton Manning standards at least) playing outdoors in the cold.
3. They play the Chargers twice a year
Yes, the Broncos are most likely going to win the terrible, terrible AFC West every year Peyton is under center, but don't forget that the only team that has owned him more than the Patriots is the Chargers, and now he has to face them twice a year.
2. Too much bad karma
I'm sure most Denver fans will welcome Manning with open arms, but why would the good Lord allow them to win a Super Bowl when they've treated Tim Tebow the way they have? It's no military secret that John Elway and John Fox never wanted Tebow, and now they finally have an excuse to run him out of town. That alone is enough to saddle you with more bad karma than an organization needs.
(Side note: ESPN is talking a lot about no teams potentially being interested in Tebow besides the Jaguars, but I could think of a few that could use his services, starting with the Miami Dolphins. Yes, there organization stinks, which is likely why no one wants to sign there, but they don't really have a QB and they've been a run first team for awhile now (even though Tony Sparano and his wildcat offense is gone). The Jets could possibly have some interest because their QB sucks, they're a run first team, and Tony Sparano is the offensive coordinator. Lastly, I think the Patriots would be interested in Tebow. Of course he wouldn't start, but Josh McDaniels (the guy who drafted Tebow) is the offensive coordinator there, so you can't rule it out.)
1. The Denver Broncos suck!
I guess Peyton didn't factor in the fact that the Broncos have an average roster at best. Tebow detractors like to point the defense as the reason Denver won all those games last year and made it to the playoffs, but wasn't that the same defense that was on the field when they started the season 1-4 Pre-Tebow? Wasn't that the same defense that Tom Brady threw 5 touchdowns on in the first half in the playoffs?
And don't even get me started on their offense. They have a couple nice young receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, but what else? Are they gonna rush 30 year-old Willis McGahee into the ground again? Can they rely on Knowshon Moreno to not get hurt for once? Who's the tight end? The offensive line couldn't even keep Tim Tebow upright against New England's garbage ass defense, now they're going to keep Peyton Manning from taking a career-ending hit? Good luck with that.

Ugandan Prime Minister Responds To KONY 2012
Sad to say it, but it looks like the most viral video of all-time, KONY 2012, was just a money grab and an overall big ol' sham. Good thing majority of Americans (including myself) didn't actually give a shit outside of bombarding a few YouTube videos with "KONY 2012" comments.

Random News Shit: NBA Trade Deadline Edition
Damn, bad times for Nene, he re-signs with the Nuggets at the start of the season and they ship him off to the 3rd worse team in the league. That's fucked up.
The actual trade was a three-team that sent Nene, Brian Cook and a 2015 2nd round pick to the Wiz, JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to the Nuggets, and Nick Young to the Clippers. This trade really makes no sense to me for any team but the Clippers. They get a nice young scorer in Nick Young and all they had to give up was Brian Cook and a 2nd-round pick IN 2015! Meanwhile, the Nuggets get the dumbest player in the league in JaVale McGee just 3 days after this hit the net (even though the person who made the video seems to be just as unsmart as JaVale) and Ronny Turiaf, and the Wiz got Nene (who's always hurt), Brian Cook, and a 2nd-round pick IN 2015!!!

3) Warriors Trade Stephen Jackson To Spurs For Richard Jefferson

Mehmet Okur is still in the league? I'm dead serious, I thought he retired.
Anyway, good job by the Nets getting Gerald Wallace for scraps, but I doubt it will help them retain Deron Williams.
5) Blazers Trade Marcus Camby To Rockets For Hasheem Thabeet & Jonny Flynn
Speaking of players I didn't know were still in the league, the Blazers just traded for Hasheem Thabeet? They weren't disappointed enough in Greg Oden, they needed to bring in another failed big man? What the fuck?
But there Blazers weren't done there....
6) Blazers Fire Nate McMillan, Waive Greg Oden
Four moves by the Blazers and only cutting Greg Oden made any sense. Then again, tanking and bottoming out is really the only way to get better in the NBA, so maybe this is a great idea. Nah, whoever they draft will have a fucked up future like Sam Bowie and Greg Oden before him.

Doesn't it seem like the biggest WR contract ever is signed every year?? Regardless, Megatron's deal is $132 million for 8 years with $60 million guaranteed. We better never hear stories about him being broke when he stops playing.
2) The Eagles Finally Pay DeSean Jackson
I don't really like DeSean Jackson (mainly because I'm a Cowboys fan), but it's about damn time they paid the man. His deal is 5 years for $51 million
3) Peyton Hillis Signs With The... Chiefs?!
One year for $3 million for Peyton Hillis? What the fuck is going on?? Shit, I thought the Madden curse on lasted one season. Bad times in the Hillis family.
4) Cowboys Sign Brandon Carr, Kyle Orton, Brodney Pool & Lawrence Vickers
I like, I like, I like, I like!
Brandon Carr (5 years, $50.1 million) and Brodney Pool should help out our secondary right away. We still need to grab a couple cornerbacks in the draft, but this is a nice start for our bleeding secondary.
I loved Tony Fiammetta, but I'm more than open to having Lawrence Vickers on the roster, I mean, he did lead block for Arian Foster last season.
And of course Kyle Orton is more than welcomed in Dallas to back up Tony Romo (though I'm sure outsiders will start the "should Orton be the starter?" at some back next season).
The deal is 5 years for $32.5 million with $14 million guaranteed. Not bad for a guy on the street at the beginning of last season.
As a Cowboys fan, I'm sad to see Laurent go, but I'm not mad at him one bit. In the NFL, if you have a chance to cash in, your ass better cash in (look at the deal Peyton Hillis just got). Besides, what does this really mean, we have to pass the ball to Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, and Jason Witten more? That's a bad thing? We'll be fine.
Speaking of former Cowboys...
Good! I couldn't be more happy about finally getting this clown off our roster and onto the Giants'. Now when he's wide open and drops a pass that hits both of his hands, I can laugh and cheer.
Every damn year we heard about how impressive he was in training camp, then the season started and he never did shit. Good riddance.
Mike D'Antoni "Resigns" As Knicks Head Coach
Question: Why wouldn't D'Antoni take his talents to the college ranks and be the next great college coach? I mean, he doesn't have to jump to some scrub team right away, he could just wait until something else opens up. I don't know, just a thought.
Anyway, Mike Woodson will coach the team for the remainder of the season and then I'm sure the pursuit of Phil Jackson will ensue.

The Rap Battle 2
Warriors Send Monta Ellis To Bucks
Now, I get why Milwaukee would do this trade, but why in the hell would Golden State? The Bucks get one of the NBA's best scorers while the Warriors got Stephen Jackson (who hated Scott Skiles and who the Warriors traded away in 2009) and Andrew Bogut (who always seems to be injured). I don't know, I don't get it.
And what I really don't get is why Orlando didn't do this deal for Monta? I don't know if that would keep Dwight Howard in town, but it's a hell of a lot better than when they brought in Vince Carter and Gilbertt Arenas.

Random News Shit: NFL Free Agency Edition
But I guess that's all you can expect back in return for a 27 year-old WR coming off a Pro Bowl season of 81 catches for 1,214 yards while being thrown passes by Chad Henne and Matt Moore.
2) 49ers Sign Randy Moss
This obviously happened last night, but I forgot to talk about it.
Anyway, the deal is for 1 year and worth $2.5 million. In essence, this should make the 49ers better, but Randy Moss hasn't been Randy Moss for a couple years now.
(Side note: Am I the only one completely shocked no petty niggas have brought up how Moss and Peyton Manning are both 35 year-old NFL legends who missed the 2011 season but the white one is being courted by teams and will get paid huge money while the black one had to work out for teams and only got a 1-year deal?)
Bad news for Phail Rivers, his #1 WR just joined the Buccaneers for $55,555,555 (ocho cincos...get it?) over the next 5 years with $26 million guaranteed.
The deal is 5 years and worth $40 million with $19 million guaranteed. Good for the Saints.
The Redskins also signed Josh Morgan and are on the verge of signing Eddie Royal (still no word on why he'd leave a back-up role to assume a back-up role elsewhere). Good thing receiver was their only need. Oh wait...
Anyway, I used to like Garcon, but fuck him now, he's with the enemy.
Sad to see them go, but this was very necessary. Matter of fact, we need to get rid of all the cornerbacks on our roster not named Mike Jenkins or Orlando Sandrick. Then we need to sign a free agent or 2 and draft a couple of talented rookies (I definitely wouldn't mind hearing news that we traded up to get Morris Claiborne or Dre Kirkpatrick... but especially Morris Claiborne). That's how we'll fix the secondary.
And obviously getting rid of Buehler was a no-brainer.
7) Jason Campbell Signs With Bears
Smart move by Campbell, Chicago is as good a place as any to be the back-up QB.
Emanny - The Pedophilia Anthem Young And Ready (feat. & Jadakiss) Video
R. Kelly loves this song. Hell, I'm not so sure he didn't write it and send it to Emmany.
Mystikal - Original (feat. Birdman & Lil Wayne) Video
You know how weird it is the first few times you see a person who had dreads/braids/afro after they cut their hair? I don't have that feeling about Mystikal at all. Maybe it's because he hung onto those struggle braids so long that you could tell what he'd eventually look like bald if he just looked straight forward? Well whatever the case, I'm glad he's home and making great music, even if his new song and video were interrupted by the weirdness that is Lil Wayne and Birdman.
On another note, yesterday on 106 & Park, Mystikal announced that his new album will also be called Original. How original.

Hot Pod Ep. 1
(Side note: I have an idea for an official logo for the show, so hopefully I can do better than that for next week's show.)
Should The Knicks Trade Carmelo Anthony?
On the surface, I know that question seems a bit extreme, but look at it this way: including February 6th when Melo got hurt in the first quarter, the Knicks were 7-1 with Jeremy Lin starting and Melo out, since he's returned to the lineup, they're just 2-7 (which kind of answers the question of if they could play together).
Now, I'm not saying New York can't get it together at some point, but it seems clear that Melo and Lin may not be able to co-exist, and the trade deadline is approaching this Thursday. Should the Knicks at least consider taking a few calls for the guy who was supposed to bring a championship to New York?
Azealia Banks vs. Iggy Azalea: Who Should STFU?
This whole "beef" started when this chick Azealia Banks called out XXL for putting Iggy Azalea (I know, the name similarity is confusing to me too) on the Freshman cover a couple weeks ago. Here's what happened when DJ Drama brought it up to Iggy and T.I. on the radio the other day:
And here's Banks' response:
Lol I NEVER needed the next n-gga to sit up on a radio show with me and defend me. Furthermore, n*ggas r sitting up here trying to mask/defend what homegirl said. F*ck outta here. Everybody got something slick to say, but no one got an explanation. Come on T.I…. N*ggas is not scared of u and whatever sh-t u got to say on some radio show. @tip you corny for that one. How u a grown man commenting on what’s going on between two girls. Come on son. Stop it. Ruin my career: what f*cking ever… Y’all wish.
This situation is really funny to me. It’s not like I said some foul out of the water sh-t about Iggy Azalea… I questioned her artistic integrity because of insensitive lyrics. Its not like I made up some bullsh-t and came at her head. In fact the issue wasn’t even really her. The issue was XXL. Why were the only three females nominated for that cover kreayshawn, v-nasty and iggy? Where was Rapsody, or nitty Scott, or Angel Haze? But y’all n-ggas don’t hear me tho. LOL. I think what’s even more interesting about this, is how unable Iggy is to explain herself. T.i can’t even explain for her. Those r my last comments about it. The Internet is making me look like a villain.
Okay, now here's the Hip-Hop Czar's opinion:
Azealia Banks should just shut the fuck up. Whether she has a point or not, it's just gonna seem like she's hatin' no matter what, so her best bet would to be to just drop it. Besides, if she signs to G.O.O.D. Music like rumor has it she will, she'll have her day in the sun soon enough.
(Side note: If she doesn't think T.I. could ruin her career, she should go check the Billboard charts for the last Lil Flip sighting.)

Gerald Green With The New Dunk Of The Year?
First off, when did Gerald Green make it back into the NBA? Oh well, it doesn't matter. What does matter is this monster dunk and whether it took over the Dunk of the Year award from Blake Griffin's disassembly of Kendrick Perkins.
Verdict: Fuck no!
Don't get me wrong, the dunk was amazing, but I'm not in awe of it like I was (and honestly, still am) when I saw the Blake Griffin. Good try, but I was more impressed by the fact he hit 26 points in that game.
J.R. Smith Fined $25,000 For Tweeting Tahiry's Ass
Question #1: What is it about Joe Budden that makes his hoes go fuck ball players?
Question #2: Is Tahiry really gonna act like she didn't fuck J.R. Smith while laying in her draws in his hotel room bed?
Question #3: Word?
Question #4: Can J.R. Smith afford to pay this fine if he can't afford a hotel room with a bigger TV?
Question #5: What ever happened to that gross looking super tatted ho J.R. Smith used to be with? (It seems like just yesterday she and J.R.'s sister were brawling in the stands in China.)
Question #6: Does Tahiry have a mullet?
Question #7: If so, why?
Question #8: I know Joe is a lifelong Knicks fan, but how could he root for them (mainly J.R.) without feeling some kind of way? (Don't look for too many more tweets like this in the near future.)

Random News Shit: NFL Offseason Headlines Edition
Where is David Stern to veto a trade when you need him?
2) Jets Extend Mark Sanchez's Contract
Welp, so much for a battle for New York between the Manning because the Jets are staying put with the Sanchize. The extension is for 3 years, but if the Jets miss the playoffs again, I'm sure this contract will be torn up and Mark will be somebody's back up in the 2013 season.
3) Randy Moss To Work Out For Niners
Damn, Randy already has a 2nd workout. I guess he won't be teaming up with T.O. in the IFL after all.
The Giants just became a little less hateable, but I'm glad to see this doucher out of work.

Epic Meal Time: Discount Meal Time
I've known and heard about Epic Meal Time for some time now, but didn't think to ever check out what it was exactly until a few days back. Man, I've been missing out like fuck! Epic Meal Time is fucking incredible!
I need to get my subscribers and views up, so I can collab with them and do "Ghetto Meal Time" or "Hood Meal Time" before they do it themselves (if they haven't already). Wouldn't that be epic? Yes, yes it would.
Anyway, seeing as how they've amassed one of the largest followings on YouTube (2.3 million subscribers and over 340 million video views), they don't really need my little endorsement, but fuck it, go check out more Epic Meal Time!
Syd Tha Kid Mini Doc By Lance Bangs
Naked Purple Ladies is such an incredible album. I honestly haven't loved a non-rap album this much since the days of Gnarls Barkley. Go to PurpleNakedLadies.com and support real music! Who knows, if they sell enough copies maybe they will put out full versions of Love Song and Visions for us? ...Okay, that probably won't happen, but a man can hope, can't he?
(Side note: I love all those groovy lights in their home! ...And yes, groovy was the only word I could come up with to describe them.)
MGK's "Half Naked & Almost Famous" EP & DVD Drops March 20th
Well, this shit should be entertaining, to say the least. Could you imagine if MGK went on tour with Odd Future? That would be straight fucking mayhem. It might be the first time the artists themselves got kicked out of every venue and hotel in every city they visit on a tour.
Either way, the "Half Naked & Almost Famous" soundtrack EP and DVD both drop on March 20th. Visit MGKLaceup.com to cop both of those when they're released, and in the meantime, check out Kellyvision 24 from a week or so ago. That shit is wild!
Yo No Se
How could you not want to step your comedy game up after watching Will Ferrell? Here learned Spanish in a month to shoot this film. This is why he never goes away for too long, he's miles ahead of us all as far as this movie shit goes.
"Casa de mi Padre" ("My Father's House") hits theaters this Friday March 16th.
Jimmy Kimmel Pitches Shows To Oprah
I don't know why I didn't post this back when it came out on Oscar night, but either way, it's still fucking hilarious. I can't claim to be a daily viewer of Oprah or the OWN network, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be reaching by saying this is some of Oprah's best work. I'm just trying to figure out how Jimmy was able to convince her to do it. I'm at a loss, but gotdamn am I entertained!
Also, check out "Movie: The Movie" if you have yet to.
(Side note: I wanted to do a video like this with me pitching shows to Diddy for his Revolt network, so hopefully it won't be seen as biting if I go through with it.)

Supa Hot Will Battle... Chris Rock?!
Wow, I can definitely say I didn't expect this. This will be epic for all YouTube comedians because I don't think anybody has gotten a bigger name in comedy in their video than Deshawn is about to pull off with this one. I don't know how he pulled it off, but it's incredible. Shout out to DeshawnRaw.
Also, check out his interview with the Partners Project, which is hosted by Shira Lazar aka the hot chick Alison Rosen beat out to be the news girl on the Adam Carolla Show.
