Getemmmmmmmmmmm Wammmmm

Just a little background info on the post below this...first of all


WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Did Wam just rip up Asher? Here is Asher on Cannon...



If you don't follow what is going on....Our boy Wambo put out an album called Greenhouse effect about a year and a half ago, close to two years actually. Then this past summer Asher Roth puts out a mixtape called Greenhouse effect. Both dudes are White Jewish Rappers....probably a coincidence...maybe.

Anways, Wam got at Asher and his manager about the issue and wanted to see what was good....bottom line, they iced him. That's where the diss is from. If you have no idea what I'm talking about watch the post below.


Still have no internet....shits killing me.

Its ya boy.....

Wambo vs Asher Roth

Not sure how I missed this but our local white rapper Wambo put out an Asher Roth diss and its pretty much fire. "Nicest white boy on the mike, and me and Em sound nothin alike". The backstory is that Wambo found out another kid with his same schtick (Jewish kid from the suburbs) named Asher Roth put out an album called Greenhouse Effect, the same name as Wam's last album. Well since Roth's album was produced by DJ Drama and Don Cannon, it probably wasn't a ripoff, but it still caused a riff because Wam is as talented as Roth, but now you can catch the first youtube I'm gonna post in a second on MTV or Jamn 94.5. (If this doesn't make any sense than I'll edit it tomorrow but I just pounded beers after work and its 1:19 AM on Fri night so give me a break). Anyway I'll get to the point. I'm posting 2 video's. The first one is Asher Roth's (Em Lite's) new hit "college" and the second is East Bridgewater's own, Wambo's, Asher Roth diss song. Check it out.



Wambo - Asher Roth Diss



Also, I know its off topic but peep this Kid Cudi clip, ridiculous freestyle. Search for our boy Charles Hamilton's freestyles if you like this kind of stuff but I just ran across this one and felt like it needed to be posted, too good. "I am pac-man".

Flight Of The Conchords and Your Wind

-If any of you have HBO and aren't watching FOTC than you're really missing out on one of the only shows in history that can make me, and probably you, RLOL (really laugh out loud). Quick episodes and I think season 1 is still on demand. Oh man its great. The songs they bust into randomly are too incredible.



-Also Lost is officially ranked 3rd in my all time favorite shows behind The Wire and The Sopranos. I know its hard to grasp or sounds too ridiculous but I'm telling you its absurdly awesome. I would recommend starting from the beginning and loving it.

-Lastly, I was talking to my buddy Brett on the phone the other day and we were laughing at how scary it is the first time you get the wind knocked out of you as a kid. Rlol you are convinced a lung popped or something, panicking, thinking you're a goner and everyone around you is calm and tellin you it will pass. I literally thought I was a dead man, just mouthing/moaning that I cant breathe and thinking those were my last words. It really does pass though. Then the second time it happens to you, you know you're ok rationally but its an inner battle in your mind between rationale and survival. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense to you but if it doesn't you can run and jump down your stairs and land on your back to know the feeling

Banned Super Bowl Commercial

Here's the first (and only I think) commercial banned from this year's Super Bowl, broadcasted by NBC. It's actually a PETA commercial of all things. I hate PETA, but maybe not anymore:

Is this chick the hottest of all time?

Since I lied to all of you on Wednesday when I said I would put up a tribute with a hot chick (I had to go shoveling at $12 an hour like a slave) I decided I would throw some pics up of Laura Siani.



This photo really doesn't even do her justice...her photo album can be found HERE, so go check them out.

I'm saying I've never seen a girl as hot as this one...have you? I think it is about time that you readers become more interactive with this blog. So if you have seen a hotter chick, or someone AS hot please comment/email do something so I know that she exists and can pay tribute to her hotness

A Tribute to....The Super Bowl

And no...I'm not talking about THIS Super Bowl in general, this is a tribute to the whole event that IS the Super Bowl. It is one of the great man days of the year (right up there with national blow job day...a holiday I'm still trying to create).

For dudes this means sitting around together watching the big game, getting drunk, eating awful food, talking about chicks, and farting. In other words, its heaven. The only way it could be improved is if lingerie models were there to serve us all the buff chicken and doritos that we wanted.

So enjoy the game this weekend, and even though the lingerie bowl (due to the nudist colony which was holding it) was cancelled, make sure you put on some halftime show which showcases a bunch of dimes, because I don't know about you, but Bruce Springstein is NOT an adequate replacement for half naked hot chicks.

Youtube Of The Day - Evil Eye

Taking the easy way out today but I'm gonna be busy next couple days. I'll make up for it with some weekend posts. Anyway, here is an old classic from the old blog that should be posted just incase you haven't seen it because it is very ill. Kid loves that other ppl love it.

Movie Thursday

Slumdog Millionaire
Release Date: In theatres
Fan Buzz: Great
Critic Reviews: Outstanding

WKFTB Opinion: A movie about an Indian man one question away from winning his country’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Sweet. This was released forever ago, but it’s still doing strong at the box office, despite being shown in 2, 500 less sites than Paul Blart. Going toe-to-toe with Benjamin Button for Best Picture. And to be honest, with the buzz it has been generating lately, this might take it.



Taken
Release Date: Friday
Fan Buzz: Mixed
Critic Reviews: 50/50
WKFTB Opinion: We love Liam Neeson. And how couldn’t you? He’s pretty much the man. This movie looks pretty badass, but at the same time it definitely has potential to be unbelievable corny and predicable. The trailer is reminiscent of pseudo-thrillers like Cellular and The Interpreter, both of which saccccked. Proceed with caution.



Push
Release Date: Feb. 6
Fan Buzz: So-so

Critic Reviews: None yet
WKFTB Opinion: Dakota Fanning was on Leno last night. Looks nothing like I picture her. Can’t believe she’s been around forever and she’s only 15. Some of the previews on TV look just awful. But this short little one below makes it look dece. On the fence about this one. Probably would see it with movie cash or something.



X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Release Date: May 1
Fan Buzz: Pumped
Critic Reviews: Too early
WKFTB Opinion: Oh man, pumped for this one. X-Men movies always kick ass and especially blow the doors off on the big screen. Wolverine snared the first ‘Origins” because A) he’s obviously the illest character and B) the producers love Hugh Jackman in that role. He is Wolverine.



Pop Culture Tidbits:

-Remember Wolfie posting the video with Joaquin Phoenix rapping? Wow. I thought it was a joke. Nope – not one bit. Guy is dead real with it…well, we think. He claims he is going into rap and that Diddy is producing his album (although Diddy hasn’t confirmed) and some people are wondering if he’s just joking around or if the once-alcoholic has fallen off the wagon again. Casey Affleck is apparently filming everything Phoenix is doing for a possible documentary. I guess everyone at this Vegas show below had zero clue what he was saying/doing at this performance. Video below:



-50 Cent says that Nic Cage will start with him in the first movie 50 produces.

-George Clooney will make a secret appearance in one of the last ER episodes ever this spring. Clooney, of course, starred on the show in the early stages of its 15-year run on air.

-Jennifer Hudson’s singing of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl this Sunday will be her first performance since her mother, brother and nephew were unmercifully murdered in Chicago. I’m rooting for her.

Thursday Steal

Alright I still don't have internet at home, and might not for a couple of days. The thought of not being able to go online talk shit to nick, and look at what you people comment on the blog hurts me deeply.


Here is the Thursday deal of the day, once again available ONLY today. I do not golf at all, mainly because the thought of going out on a golf course and sucking / getting whooped on by 60 year old dudes in sports does not appeal to me. But I feel like this is too good of a deal not to post.

Confidence Mens HQ7 Square Golf Set + Bag $170.00

And can someone teach me how to golf....realize that you will have to deal with me swearing/embarassing you/throwing golf clubs into the woods. The laughs alone would be worth it though...let me know.

DRC Fresh Azimiz

First off, that song, fresh azimiz, is one of the best songs to put to a youtube highlight.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is a big part of the Cardinals late season success. You are going to want to keep your eye on 29 this Sunday.

DRC was my man pre NFL draft last year. He went to Tennessee State University, a Div 1-AA football program. He was a playmaker with the measurables that turned heads, 6'2 and a supposed 4.3 40 yard dash. But he never played against top comp right? and hes a little thin at 180 lbs right? To answer those questions he suited up to play in the Senior Bowl where he could match up against the other D1 NFL prospects. How'd it go? He dominated in the game and in practice all week (see highlight below) enough to be starting in the Superbowl the same week a year later.



After the Senior Bowl came the NFL combine, a place where rumors of 4.3 40's come to die. Just not this time. He ran a 4.33 laser timed 40 yard dash and his 38.5 vertical leap wasn't topped by any other CB or WR... Arizona selected Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie 16th overall in the first round of the NFL draft. The move allowed Arizona to move Antrel Rolle to free safety and pair him with the forever underrated Adrian Wilson.

Rodgers-Cromartie, who is one of the handful of athletes with a connection to the Florida area that Deion Sanders mentors, started the season as the team's starting nickelback (3rd corner), behind Rod Hood and Eric Green. But practicing against, and getting torched by, Fitz/Boldin made his adjustment period a rapid one.

Rodgers Cromartie played his way into the starters role by week 9 and hasn't even glanced back. With 6 interceptions as a rookie, one returned 99 yards, he seems to have his cousin Antonio's knack for big plays. It was an element Arizona was lacking.

Statistically there has only been one big change in Arizona over this playoff run, improved pass defense. I won't bore you with the numbers but its there. Teams pick on Hood while DRC has matched up against and for the most part shut down Roddy White, Steve Smith, and Desean Jackson. Cromartie is getting better every game. Watch for him to be matched up against burner Santonio Holmes, who killed Balt, Sunday night.



The term is overused but a true shutdown corner is rare and turns an average defense into a good one. The Cards have a developing one in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. All Im asking is that you keep an eye on that angle in the Superbowl.

Edit: After I wrote this I saw the Globe did a similar piece today. I was kinda pissedappointed but whatever. The guy in the globe got his 40 time wrong anyway. Nice job Glasper.

Tom Brady Follow-Up

Wow what a week to write about Tom Brady.

In the two days since I posted about him we’ve had pictures come out of him and Gisele in New Mexico (on the front page of the Herald, no less), news from the Globe that he’ll be ready for the start of the season and a column from Dan Shaughnessy basically going through all the stuff in our post. Just remember: you heard it at WKFTB first.

The first order of business: Brady is going to be ready for the start of the season, at least according to a medical source “familiar” with his procedure. I have no clue what that means, but the good news is encouraging.

And just to clear things up, Brady did have an infection:

“The surgery went well and my doctor described my knee as ‘rock solid.’ Unfortunately, in the week following the surgery, I developed an infection. The infection is very treatable and, through a course of antibiotics, it will be knocked out of my system.”

--From a press release from Tom that you can still find on his official website, http://www.tombrady.com/.

The news a few month ago from NBC that said his 2009 season was in jeopardy was based on him having more procedures to clear that infection up. Apparently he doesn’t need to.

As for the Shaughnessy column, here are a few tidbits:

“We were OK when Tom posed wearing the Stetson, holding the baby lamb. We didn't call him elitist when he endorsed Movado high-end watches and private jets (working-class fans certainly can't relate to that). We applauded when he met the pope and went to the State of the Union Address. We agreed it was none of our business when he broke up with Bridget Moynahan and it turned out she was having their baby.

“Tom and Gisele buying half of California? Why not? Interested in a painting by Eugenio Lucas y Padilla, a follower of Goya? All good. We would never suggest that Tom was forgetting his roots and becoming a man of only the finest tastes.

“We didn't raise questions when he lost the Gillette Stadium parking space awarded to the guy who arrives earliest, leaves latest, and practices hardest. We didn't hammer him for not sticking around on crutches to help from the sideline. We bought the company line that Tom did not want to create a distraction. We gave him a pass when he failed to grant a single interview about his condition. We didn't rip him when he finally did an interview - a radio spot in Toronto - and it turned out he was just promoting a new sports cream.”

And this:

“Yesterday was the last straw. You know what I'm talking about. You opened your newspaper (or perhaps viewed online) and saw the photograph of Gisele Bundchen feeding Brady at poolside in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. That did it. The tipping point. The coup de grace. The shark jumped. She was feeding him. Our quarterback, one of the five most decorated athletes to play in Boston, is looking like a wimp in front of the whole world.”

I'm back bitches

It feeeeels soooo good to be backkkkkkkkkkkkk. On a serious note my internet isn't even fixed, I'm just at work, "working". I will do a tribute to some hot chick / hot group of chicks later on in the day...but for now I want to ramble about an awful commercial I watched 17 times last night during the Bruins game. (Big win for the B's, 3-2 in OT).

F*ing Life Alert....lets get serious. First of all, by no means am I mocking the actual device. Listen, anything that saves lives is cool with me, but can you come up with a better commercial, or more importantly a better spokesmen!?!?!? Not only is the commercial awful, but you have Colonel Sanders at the end pitching this thing with his sweet old man goatee thing.



Yeah I know this video sucks, but the other 1000 youtubes were all spoof videos of this awful commercial. Not only do I RLOL at Colonel Sanders, but also the first 2 seconds with "Whether its fire danger..." and a picture of a fireman strolling through a blaze....hahahah wtfffffffffff.

Dr. C Everett "Colonel Sanders" Koop gets me every time though, I would never buy anything that bozo endorsed.



Be back in a bit.

Secret Service, the News and Freezing at the Pump

Before we get to the post, just wanted to announce that WKFTB founder Jake has been without internet for the past couple days. That explains his lack of posts. Me and Jared will try to pick up the slack with extra posts in the interim. Now to the info...

Good point by buddy Retta brought up to me the other day: How much do you hate pumping gas in the winter? Legit below freezing and sometimes below zero temps, not to mention whipping wind chill, and you have to stand out there for 10 minutes in that wind tunnel terminal they use to cover the pumps. Ride around on ‘E’ for a few days just waiting for it to be a little warmer and bearable.

Another winter thing that I can’t stand is the dryness of my skin these days. Got moisturizing body wash, gentle soaps and lotions up the ass and still have little eczema lookin things cropping up. Makes me uncomfortable and itchy. Just gross. In the summer I got baby skin, dece on the eyes and fire to the touch.

The obsession old people have with the local news is mind-boggling. I just don’t get it. I understand the national news, where they bring you a bunch of the major relevant stories that affect the entire country (economy, environment, president, etc). But the local news is just trash. Someone killed someone here, there was a car crash there, some idiot tried to rob a bank, there’s a school in the suburbs that decided to ban candy. It’s legit full of stories that you will forget the next day when you have the whole next slew of car wrecks, assaults, and delinquent parents. And OMG if it’s going to snow?!?! Look out…parents might be glued to the TV for hours straight. “They say were getting fouhh—to—six inches, be cahfulll.” News just makes you panic and/or miserable.

I like the idea of the Secret Service. Not what they do or what they stand for, but just the name really. I like service – car service, bar service, escort service, room service – and you know I like secret shit. Secret service just kind of ties it all in for me.

Something my buddy Anthony brought up to me: People in college legit use Facebook messager to communicate rather than AIM. Imagine ever using that tiny thing? Only useful if you’re at work or something and AIM is blocked on you comp. But even then you’re probably better off using Meebo and that type of AIM. Wouldn’t use FB Messager if it was the last thing available to me. Just wouldn’t talk to people.

Franca Out Stephens In vs Lauzon

Franca bows out of main event vs Lauzon due to ACL tear.

Not again.... We'll keep you posted.

Edit: Jeremy Stephens is replacing Franca

"The Ultimate Fighting Championship® travels to Tampa for the first time for UFC® Fight Night™ at the Sun Dome on February 7th.

In the main event, rising lightweight star Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon will look to propel himself into title contention when he squares off against Jeremy Stephens coming off a stellar knockout win."

Would have rather seen Franca but Stephens is an up and comer at 16-3. He did lose to Spencer Fisher the fight before he uppercutted that dudes face off though. I think Joe lays this kid down to be honest.

Here is a good interview with Penn I enjoyed. Gets you pumped up for this weekend's fight so check it out.

Race Wars - Marquette vs ND

Above: Jerel McNeal, leader of the black guys.

[Warning: This post contains racial stereotypes that were used for comedic purposes. Please don't take the black and white generalizations serious. Thank you.]

Did anyone catch that race war last night in South Bend as no.8 Marquette handed no.23 ND their 2nd straight home loss? I turned that on and was like um please look at the white guys vs the black guys on tv right now. I mean there was one or two tokens on each team, but thats it. The interesting aspect about the game was that it was playing out exactly how The Official Racism Manual chapter on stereotypes said it should. It was more or less athleticism and slashing versus grit and shooting.

Jerel McNeal led Marquette with 27 and hit a big three late. Luke Harangody, who is an anomaly in himself, played very well in the loss with 27 and 17 boards. Kyle McAlarney didn't bring his normal sharpshooting swag though, which is something the Irish need in order to beat a top 10 team or if they plan on making a run in March. Notre Dame probably lost the game before tip off though. I mean just look at the mascots. We know all about Golden Eagles and judging from the Youtube's in that link, they could probably kill a leprechaun without ruffling a single feather. I don't care if how hard he was fighting, the Irish guy is getting eaten or dropped off a cliff.

Mascots aside though, this game also eerily mirrored another fairly well known competition between an African descendant and an Irishman. Like Obama vs McCain, the darker skinned side was a little too quick on their feet and hard to defend this time even though the other side was rich in tradition and the game was played in their own backyard.

Side note: Harangody and McAlarney are fun to watch. Harangody is an effin bulldozer with an unorthodox but dominant herky jerky game. Hes a double double machine. The guy rips boards and swishes hideous looking turnaround hook shots all the way out to the top of the key, haha. Poor guy will make a terrible NBA player but he is a great beast in college so watch him while you can. McAlarney on the other hand is a pretty boy. Now get ready for about the 7th risky comparison in this post, but McAlarney is like a combination of Gerry McNamara and JJ Redick. McNamara for the the McPoint guard with a similar game but Redick for the prolific shooting ability. McAlarney actually is shooting threes at a better clip than Redick did in college. I hate the white guy to white guy comparisons in sports but I just became guilty of it, whatever, it really works for me. I pretty much just listed off four guys who are white, undersized, and 1000x better college players than they ever will be in the pros, but all I wanted to get across is that McAlarney and Harangody are entertaining to watch so check out ND if you scan by them on espn.

EB's Newest Star?

We already have Tom Everett Scott (fake), the Lauzon brothers, Dan and Joe, Wambo and let's not forget Brett Anthony. East Bridgewater's newest celeb? Maybe Mark Margarit??

I vaguely remember this dude, but he's an EB grad ('00) and played on the soccer team his senior year when I was a freshman. He's the weekend weather guy for Channel 7. Was dece blown away when I saw it. Pretty sure he must have taken speech At the Unviersity of Albany, because he was shyest. Now he's live on air. Can't hold EB down...

And don't sleep on these fellas (click the pic for a link to their site and some cool vids):

Is Tom Brady too big of a celebrity?

Is Tom Brady too big of a celebrity?

It’s an interesting question for sure. The Patriots’ QB has seldom been heard from since suffering a season-ending knee injury against the Chiefs in the first game of the regular season.

In fact, outside of a brief charity appearance in Foxboro around Thanksgiving, we haven’t heard a single thing from Tom Terrific all year until his brief interview with a Toronto radio station last week.

So what gives? Why can’t Brady just do an interview or two, address his millions of fans and legions of New England followers and give us an update on how he’s doing? I understand the Patriots’ clandestine approach to injuries, but c’mon, as the face of the franchise you have some type of obligation to the masses. Right?

Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so. So much attention is paid to Tom and Gisele and the ongoing are they engaged, are they not engaged saga. TMZ and Access Hollywood follow him in the streets of New York and in grocery store parking lots in California. We know every time he visits his son, or goes to Costa Rica, but we can’t find out about his infection in his surgically repaired knee.

I can rationalize his lack of appearances during the season. It would be hard for him to be seen in the locker room, most likely drawing all the questions away for his teammates who actually are playing. And appearing on the sidelines during games would probably be a distraction too. The last thing the Krafts and the Patriots’ brass want is the camera glued on one player for the entire game. But after the season is different. At least it should be.

It’s just a little tiresome, to be honest. The line between quarterback and celebrity is blurred to begin with, but this takes it to an entire new level. Tony Romo is accountable, even when he’s whisking Jessica and Witten to Cabo. Brett Favre, say what you want but at least you can pin him down. As for Brady…good luck. Osama bin Laden is easier to find. Is he in New England? New York? California? Who knows…

Will he play this season? Is his knee OK? Again, it’s like tossing darts blindfolded – you just have no idea. So is Brady too big of a celeb?

The signs were there last season, when he was seen shaking hands with Pat O’Brien (former host of The Insider and Access Hollywood) before the Super Bowl against the Giants, and again at the beginning of this season when he was mysteriously prevented from playing a down of preseason football.

Still, this is our Tom Brady. The 6th-round draft pick, humble no-name working-class wonderboy, unheralded out of Michigan. Where is he???

Find that man.

Few Updates

-I decided that Urijah Faber is my fav mma fighter earlier today so I wanted to make sure I caught him against Pulver on Versus tonight. I did, and Faber dismantled him in the first round. Like I said in a previous post, Faber got caught when he fought Mike Brown and lost the WEC belt. In the rematch I think Faber tramples him and my wallet might think the same thing. Brown is getting all hyped but he doesn't impress me that much, just a heavy handed brawler and nothing special. Faber is fast, strong, explosive, a former wrestler, can stand with anyone, great submissions, sick tempo, and has maybe the best cardio in MMA. The only way you really beat him is to catch him with a lucky punch like Brown did when Faber went for a flying elbow. Interesting note is that Joe Lauzon and Hermes Franca who are matching up in a couple weekends, both hold submission wins over Mike Brown.

-Ovechkin and the breakaway challenge at the skills competition. Chara also hit 105 on the slapshot competition and set the all time record. Ovechkin really needs his own post though soon. Jesus he is a gap toothed creature.

-We are getting good feedback on the blog so far but we've got some work to do in terms of traffic. Nick checked our old wordpress blog and realized we still get over 500 hits a day and up to 1500 on some days. Thats more than we get here and we haven't updated the old blog in a year. What the? Wordpress tags get scooped by search engines much better than blogspot I guess. We'll figure it out soon enough. Keep spreading the word for us in the meantime.

-I got an Ipod touch yesterday and damn, that thing is extremely ill. If you have wireless in your home, it might be worth getting. Legit life changing possibilities. All the applications, the wifi, the music, google earth, youtube, safari, dvd's, games, shows, etc, are very awesome. Also I have Pandora for it and if you were late to the party on that thing then get on it asap. It just feeds you nonstop music over the internet and it learns what kind of music you like over time and gives you stuff you would like. I could do a whole post on Pandora alone but if you have an iphone or a touch you need this.

-Im copying this from the old blog but oh well. I know some people have already watched this one but I cant risk someone not seeing it. Mullet head got walloped and pwned. Sounded like a gunshot. Look at the look on the punchers face as shes winding up, then the double fast walk away. Check out the old lady at the beginning too. Love this clip so much. Rlol


-This next youtube is actually pretty recent. You know the quote that says trust the art and not the artist? Well that would probably apply to Joaquin Phoenix' decision to pursue music. Great actor, but are you toying with my life man? Get a grip bro. Seriously grab a mach 3 and come back to planet earth.

All-Star Rule Out of Whack

In lieu of tonight’s NHL All-Star game, it’s only appropriate that one of the most ridiculous rules in sports be brought to light.

Detroit Red Wings’ All-Stars Nikalas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk were each suspended one game by the league for skipping this weekend’s festivities.

The ruling – handed down by NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell – was implemented last season and serves to keep the biggest stars in the game…in the game for the biggest stars. While it makes sense on the surface, especially considering the problem sports like Major League Baseball and the NFL have getting their stars to their sports’ premier exhibition, having the penalty be a suspension is a bit too harsh. After all, why punish the team and the fans of that team for the actions of the player?

A fine is one thing, but a suspension? It may mean very little for a team like Detroit, but what if it were a middling team fighting for a playoff spot? Suspending one or two of its best players, even just for one game, could potentially have a huge effect on that team’s playoff chances. In a league were making the playoffs could come down to winning or losing in a shootout, the effect of one game in the second half the season cannot be understated.

A fine would be a far more appropriate action. And not some $10,000 slap on the hand, but something like a $100,000 fine. Any player regardless of their contract status should think twice before skipping the game and forfeiting the cash equivalent of small lake house.

If you think a fine of that size would be unfair to younger players and old vets not making much, you’re really missing the point. Those are the type of players who, presumably, would be thrilled to make an All-Star game and therefore wouldn’t even consider not attending. The fine is more for veteran players, the type of Lidstrom and Datsyuk’s stature, who have the money to spend if they choose to skip.

And if they skipped with the knowledge of a pending suspension, maybe they’d still skip with a looming fine. But at least in this case, the player would be punished and not the team.

Boston Blog Blazers: Week 2

From our field correspondent Joe Masley:

"Happy Sunday out there to all you legends reading the blog… today is my big debut writing on the blog and I’ve been preparing for weeks…. if you don’t like my article, you can suck it, so here we goo…Last night saw a big win at the Gahhden as your home town Boston Blazers took down the Wings from Beantown’s second favorite city to hate, dirty Philly.

Pregame festivities witnessed a solid crew of myself, Dobson and Vona going to the area’s best pregame spot, that’s right, you guessed it….Halftime Pizza. Seriously, where else can you get just pizza and beer, I mean, that’s their staple, 25 oz beers or whatever the hell they are for like 4 bucks…unreal deal of the century and not to mention I could eat an entire pizza without hesitation it’s so freakin good. But anyways, to the game. As was probably obvious, the hometown crowd was not as big as opening night when they were legit giving away free tickets to everyone on the street. Some scalper was trying to sell tickets for 20 bucks and us, being the retards we are, start yelling “You’re being robbed, you can get season tickets for 40”… obviously this did not please the scalper and he proceeded chase us and his potential customers we saved all the way to the doors.

If any of you are unaware, Jake, Jared and myself are proud season ticket holders in the “Ring of Fire” – the creative attempt of the Blazers marketing staff to make us think the balcony is where all the legends are. But clearly with the lack of fans our crew last night sniped some legit seats in the loge. Dobson made a great point, there were so many groups of just smokin hot girls and no guys…maybe they left their boyfriends at home? Maybe they were lacrosse groupies? Maybe me Dobson and Vona brought a group home?....yeah that didn’t happen, story of my fucking life. But asides from analyzing the intense play going on, analyzing nice bums was also a notch in the awesome column….if any of you out there wondering, yes I still have the mind of a 16 year old…..

Apparently on Friday night after the Blazers beat down on Philly 13-11 in the City of Brotherly Love, they had a fight on the plane that both teams were taking on the way back, so you knew this was gunna be a battle. (Jake is editing this now and does not believe it for one second, the NLL or whatever the F this league is called is using cheep WWE tricks to try and fool the fans....apparently it worked on Joe).

The passing this game was much better than last week and the Blazers were up 5-0 early. However, Philly came back big and scored a flurry of unanswered goals to get the game back to where were saying, wow the Blazers suck and the game stayed close at 8-7 with just under 6 minutes to play in the 4th quarter. However, resident sniper/legend/team captain Dan Dawson and standout Darly Veltman made sure that the Blazers would “get that ball”…(sidenote…the one hilarious and awful part of the game was at every face off the announcer would chant ‘get that ball…get that ball…come on blazers fans let me hear you…get that ball…”) The Blazers “got that ball”- yeah I know, cliché, not funny, go F yourself – and sealed the win with 4 more bingos to end the match at 11-4. There were only a few small fights unfortunately and no viciously unreal and awesome hits like Mitch Belisle’s bundling of a New York Titan last week


In all seriousness this was a big win for the Blazers. This marked their first home sweep as a franchise and second win on the year, giving the Blazes an overall record of 2-2…500 isn’t bad for this early in the season but they definitely will have to bring the same intensity and not blow a 5-0 lead next week when they take on the Portland Lumberjacks…yes there will be another home game on the 31st, so if you’re looking for some fun and adolescent male antics, meet us at Halfway Pizza around 6, game starts at 7:30…maybe afterwards we can go ying a few stews and watch Eddie B karate chop the bar staff at Hennesy’s like last weekend… Go Blazers and GET FIRED UP! Sorry, had to say that…. "

Affliction - Uh, Fedor Is Good

We just got done watching the Affliction fight card and D-Lau got the win against his replacement fighter Bobby Green. Green actually pushed the pace and it seemed like Danny was uncomfortable but it was only a matter of time before the better fighter caught Green with something. That something ended up being a rear naked choke shortly after it hit the ground at the end of a long round one. It was a long round because Green hit Danny with three shots to the nuts that called for a stoppage so he could recover. It was pretty bizarre. The doctor even asked Danny if he could continue, Danny said he could which was honorable considering Im pretty sure he could have gotten a quick cheap win and he didn't take it. It was a victory for the good guys though so congrats Dan, and throw some ice on those nuts.

The highlight of the card though was either Belfort knocking Matt Lindland into 1988, or the continued dominance of Fedor Emelianenko. Lets talk about the ladder for a minute. I don't think I had ever actually seen Fedor fight live before this, but it was more of the same. The same as in someone getting disposed of, quickly. For those of you who still don't know Fedor, he is the undisputed best mixed martial artist on the planet. He is unassuming in stature but noone has found a weakness in his game, if there even is one. Arlovski looked big and explosive tonight but Fedor's unorthodox striking is so accurate and explosive that Arlovski was out cold shortly after charging Fedor with a flying knee. Arlovski elevated and Fedor didn't even really load up, he just put an overhand right hand into Andre's chin for the KO.

So whats next for Fedor? Well Affliction better know that the UFC could offer a large sum of money to Fedor if he would consider switching to the UFC. As it is now, Fedor will probably fight Josh Barnett with Affliction next. That fight will have very little draw though because it only serves as another 10 seconds on a Fedor highlight clip. Barnett will get worked. With how Mir worked Nog recently and Brock Lesnar improving. The most interesting thing would be to pin Fedor against the winner of that UFC heavyweight title fight, but noone knows how that will play out yet.

You might want to watch this special they did of Fedor on FSN the other night. There are 7 parts and this is the first one. The other parts aren't hard to find and its really good. First couple are about his training so go to the third one if you dont really care about that.

Part 1



Part 3 - In the ring. "I honestly thought we saw the first death in MMA"



Fedor vs 400lb Zulu who was 38-0 with 38 KOs at the time

My President Is Black

I kind of love how Jay is like Lebron's mentor/uncle. You know The King wants to be a global icon, hes said it before publicly, and he picked the right guy to learn from. When I saw Jay in concert with the blogfathers Lebron was chillin on stage. Certain guys presence is just heavy, and LBJ has reached that level. If you see him in person you are sort of blown away, its hard to explain. I think probably Lebron, Jordan, Will Smith, Jay, Kanye, and Obama are the people that come to mind. I know they are all black, but the biggest superstars in sports and music are right now.

I was listening to the Bill Simmons podcast with JA Adande the other day and I thought they did a good job talking about Obama. Adande said that the attitude of the conservatives, and people who didn't vote for him in general, is similar to when you draft a pitcher in fantasy baseball that plays for your real life rival team. Whoever drafts Sabathia in my league will root for the Yankees on that night ya know? For the good of the team (country). They were also talking about how incredible it is that he can connect with so many different types of people. His universal appeal is something we've never really seen before. In a span of 4 hours can chill with Dwight Howard, Ted Kennedy, Beyonce and Jay, Jamie Foxx, Ray Romano, John McCain, Allen Iverson, Tom Hanks, etc. I'm not doing it much justice though because Im just trying to remember off the top of my head from a couple days ago. I would really recommend listening to the last half hour of that podcast. Just click the Bill Simmons link on the right side of this page and its right there.

Also this song is effin awesome. Granted it will get overplayed, but that doesn't change the fact that its a great record by probably the best to pick up a mic.

A Tribute to...The Weekend

It's here once again.....and thank the F*ing lord that it is. FIRST of all I just wanted to say that I seriously am shocked no1 has commented on the hogan post, ESPECIALLY the bottom video in which the Ultimate Warrior says this regarding Hulk and his son:

"If Hogan is going to oil anybodies ass, he should oil his son Nick's ass. If you drop the soap in the shower Nick....don't bend over to pick it up..."

Whoaaaaaarlolllll

Ok so back to this weekend, I'm going to do more shameless plugging of the Danny Lauzon interview and tell you read it if you haven't already, and ALSO watch him bundle some chooch on the Affliction "Day of Reckoning" PPV.



Other than that I'm hating the fact there is no football this weekend....so I'm just trying to get into some college basketball. Uconn v. Notre Dame tonight could be a crisp game on ESPN, and also Antonio Margarito vs. "Sugar" Shane Mosley @ 10pm on HBO should be a battle. I can't lie I'm trying to get into MMA but I'm more of a boxing guy at heart, and I watched Margarito destory and undefeated monster in Miguel Cotto. Mosley is a big underdog in my mind, but I'd love to see him pull it out. Enough rambling....go get blackout drunk and pee your pants.

Also here is a nice link for you to check out....definately some laugh out loud moments.

Sweet Jump BRO.

Take a look at this Bro trying to impress everyone at this sweet party....I wish I could read his mind at the moment right before he lifted off, probably was something like this:

"Awww man, the chicks are going to love me off this trampoline dive into the pool. I just hope it doesn't mess up my L'oreal hair paste or ruin my sweet pooka shell necklace...cowabunga dude"

And then this happened.....




Thanks to Buck for the heads up...happy Friday everyone.

A Tribute to....Hulk Hogan

It's about time that we paid homage to a REAL American like Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster has been taking an absolute beating lately too, worse than any beating he ever took in the ring. I mean his wife divorced him and is now dating a 19 year BROld dude that looks kinda like him...and also taking him for something like $40,000 a month in alimony (is that the right word???).


Then you have his son who just got out of jail for getting in a car accident which nearly killed his friend looking like this....should change his name to Nick BROgan.


Then you have his daughter (who looks like she could be a SON if you know what I mean, what a beast) prancing around half naked and saying ridiculous things on television.



The Hulkster needs a break man....so Hulk if you are reading this I want you to go find your wife and her new boy toy, body slam them, then stinky leg drop the both of them for me...actually for YOURSELF. Then say your prayers, take your vitamins, disown that weirdo son of yours, put Brooke on a treadmill and muzzle her, and your life will be a hell of a lot easier.

Had to post this as well....Ultimate Warrior whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The 2009 Oscars

The nominees for the 81st annual Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning. I’ll give the list of the nominees for the best/coolest categories as well as little note and a prediction on who takes home the Oscar.

Best Picture: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Frost/Nixon," "Milk," "The Reader," "Slumdog Millionaire."

No real surprises here. Benjamin Button fell one nomination short of the record 14 earned by Titanic. It probably wins here.

Best Actor: Richard Jenkins, "The Visitor"; Frank Langella, "Frost/Nixon"; Sean Penn, "Milk"; Brad Pitt, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"; Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler."

The one glaring snub of the awards: No Clint Eastwood for Gran Torino. But then again, I don’t know who you’d take out. Maybe Frank Lengella or possibly Richard Jenkins. Rourke, Pitt and Penn are the favorites here. I say Pitt takes it in a Benjamin Button sweep, although outside of his voice he didn’t do too much acting, in terms of walking and moving in the film (see below).

Best Actress: Anne Hathaway, "Rachel Getting Married"; Angelina Jolie, "Changeling"; Melissa Leo, "Frozen River"; Meryl Streep, "Doubt"; Kate Winslet, "The Reader."

Weird that Kate Winslet won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Reader, but her is nominated for the real deal. She also won a Globe for best Actress in Revolutionary Road. I say the sixth time is a charm for Kate, who has never one in five previous nominations.

Best Supporting Actor: Josh Brolin, "Milk"; Robert Downey Jr., "Tropic Thunder"; Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Doubt"; Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight"; Michael Shannon, "Revolutionary Road."

Love every single nominee here, except for Michael Shannon who I don’t even know. Also love Robert Downey Jr. being nominated for a role in a comedy. That’s what you get when you play black. This has to go to posthumously to Ledger though – and you should be outraged if it doesn’t.

Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams, "Doubt"; Penelope Cruz, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"; Viola Davis, "Doubt"; Taraji P. Henson, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"; Marisa Tomei, "The Wrestler."

Again, this is going to Taraji Henson probably. Not to be boring, but this really is shaping up to be a Benjamin Button sweep. On a side note, Marisa Tomei is still very hot. And she’s very naked throughout The Wrestler.

Best Director: David Fincher, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"; Ron Howard, "Frost/Nixon"; Gus Van Sant, "Milk"; Stephen Daldry, "The Reader"; Danny Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire."

It would seem that if Button wins Best Picture than David Fincher wins Best Director. Still don’t sleep on Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) sneaking in for his work in Milk. It does have that gay angle. Although that turned out to hurt Brokeback Mountain.

Best Makeup: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Dark Knight," "Hellboy II: The Golden Army."

Lil award for the boys. Dark Knight should win this one. C’mon you saw the Joker. But I watched a whole special on what they did to Brad Pitt in Button. They filmed him with a whole new face just making movements with his mouth, then put the face on an old man stand-in’s body and dubbed in his voice. He basically shot the movie from a chair. Don’t know if that’s remarkable or with be detrimental in this category.

Best Visual Effects: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Dark Knight," "Iron Man."

The Dark Knight, hands down. Did any other movie explode off the big screen like this one? The stunts were so huge and real. They really flipped the mack truck, the BatPod was a real bike invention, and they literally blew up everything in Gotham. Unreal.

Afternoon Delight: Antonique Smith

Saw Notorious yesterday with a fellow WTFTB memeber (B+ btw, good, but felt a little rushed; Gravy was unreal) and I think I fell in love with Antonique Smith, aka: Faith Evans in the movie. She's pretty unheard of, so here are some picks to get you up to speed:

And as Faith with the blonde hair:

Thursday Steal(s)

Breaking Bad News

Horodecki Out for Sat night fight vs Lauzon

Lightweight entry Chris Horodecki will not be able to compete at this Saturday’s Affliction “Day of Reckoning” at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio confirmed to Sherdog.com on Wednesday.

Horodecki, who attended a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning for the blockbuster event, will not be re-licensed by the California State Athletic Commission in time to face UFC veteran Dan Lauzon due to an injury sustained in training.

This sucks. Im sure they will find a replacement but this fight was going to give Dany some huge momentum when he won. Im legit pissed right now. I've been waiting for this for a while now. And picture all the scouting D-Lau already did for him.

Whatever, wheel a replacement out there and have D-Lau crunk his face on PPV. The bigger the name the better though,

Let Me Upgrade Ya: Dan Lauzon Q&A

Dany Lauzon made time for us the other day and we really appreciated it. His fight against IFL lightweight champ Chris Horodecki is scheduled to be the first on the Affliction card Sat night on PPV, so don't miss it. This card is getting a ton of attention and is billed as can't miss. Get your boys together, split the cost, and order it. Support our hometown fighter here at WKFTB. Plus a lot of you casual fans haven't yet seen Fedor fight. That alone is worth the price, nevermind the fact that the entire card is stacked.



Wolfe: Hey Danny, thanks for making time for the blog on such short notice. The fight is only a few days away. All around the MMA community this card is getting a lot of attention, and around here we are all pulling hard for ya. Good luck Saturday night and just do your thing. I really believe you've got this thing.

D-Lau: Thanks. I'm excited and very confident.

Wolfe: I was in attendance at your last two fights at WCF in Wilmington and you just ran through the competition. The local fighters at your weight just aren't close to your level so I'm glad you are getting a PPV fight against a top fighter. How do you think you match up with Horodecki in terms of style and skill?

D-Lau: My all around game is better than his. I can wrestle, I can submit people, and I can knock people out. He's a good kickboxer. He gets ahead on the score cards but doesn't do too much damage. His last 6 wins have been decisions. My last 7 wins have been finishes. I go into every fight looking to finish it as quickly as possible. You don't get paid for overtime. Although he's the favorite, this is a very tough fight for him.

Wolfe: About those hands of Horodecki. Can we expect to see you throwing with him or is the better strategy to show off some of your ground game?

D-Lau: His ground is his weakness, but I'm not scared to stand with him. I'm going to fight him wherever I feel most comfortable.

Wolfe: How is your cardio right now?

D-Lau: My cardio is great for once. I always struggle with this. I have been training for this fight for almost 4 months. My warm-ups each night start with 5 rounds that are 5 minutes with 1 minute rest in between all stand-up. Then, I do my MMA rounds or shark baits. (Me in the middle with fresh guys cycling through me, while I'm tired)

Wolfe: I'm glad the era of wrestler's laying and praying has come and gone. One thing I love about you and your brother is how active you are in the ring. Horodecki has 6 knockouts, 6 decisions, and 0 submissions. Once he got to the IFL, he became champion but went to decision in 6 of his 8 wins. You on the other hand have never went to decision and neither has your brother Joe in his 21 fights. You have 6 KO's and 5 submissions in your victories. Do you think your style of dictating the tempo and pressing the action makes your opponent uncomfortable and gives you a big advantage? And I haven't seen many of his fights but how the hell does a standup fighter like Horodecki go the distance so often?

D-Lau: He goes the distance so much because, like I said, he just racks up points by scoring with leg kicks. He doesn't commit and try to finish people. Joe's and my style is come at you and come aggressive. Hurt you with our hands and if you survive we look for the submission. We're very well rounded, and we're dangerous no matter where the fight goes.

Wolfe: You are 11-2 and Horodecki is 12-1. I know Horodecki dominated in the IFL, but none of the guys he beat had a win-loss record like yours. He ran through the local fighters in Canada and then had success in the IFL. You haven't really been tested either besides Fisher, which I will get to later, but my point is that I think MMA is still learning how to build up fighters like boxing does, but this is a good example of how it should be done. I think you both have bright futures but the winner of this fight will be on a fast track to becoming a superstar.

D-Lau: Definitely. The guy I fought in New Jersey, which is my only other loss, is even better than Spencer. Devidias Taurosevicious, look him up. He was a professional rugby player in Russia before moving to the United States. His only losses are to UFC veteran Frankie Edgar and UFC veteran Jim Miller. Also, he fought Ryan Schultz in the IFL to a 5 round decision. At the time, I wasn't ready for a fight like that. And I was dealing with a bunch of EB (East Bridgewater, MA) drama bullshit. Since then I have matured and gotten on the right track. The winner of this fight is definitely going to make a big step in the right direction.

Wolfe: I was looking at your fight history earlier, and I kind of forgot how early you were thrown into the UFC. You only had four local fights at the time when you got the call to fight 19-2 Spencer Fisher as an 18 year old kid, the youngest in UFC history. I went back and watched that fight today to refresh my memory. What I saw was you kicking Fisher's ass for 4 minutes straight before you completely gassed and ate some shots until the ref stopped it. I really believe you would have beat him if you didn't take the fight on short notice. But anyway, I don't want you to have to rehash that fight. My question is, how much better of a fighter are you today as opposed to when you made your debut over 2 years ago? What have you most improved on?

D-Lau: I'm ten times the fighter today, both mentally and physically. My biggest improvement since that fight is in my stand-up. When I fought Spencer I was a brawler. Now I'm a mixed martial artist that can box.

(Watch that Fisher/Lauzon fight here)

Wolfe: Joe told us he would probably beat you 8 out of 10 times if you guys laced them up full UFC rules. Do you agree? And what would be your strategy fighting him?

D-Lau: I disagree, obviously. I actually asked him about this when I read his interview. I won't give my strategy to beating him because I don't want any of his opponents in the future to get any ideas if they read this. My boxing coach says if me and Joe fight 10x. I take the first 3 and Joe takes the next 7. I think if me and Joe fought 10x it would be very even with Joe winning 6-4 or vice versa, maybe split 5 and 5. All depends on the day.

Wolfe: Joe has his own big fight coming up against Hermes Franca. Im sure you think hes going to do well, but what impresses you most about Joe's skills? Did notice that he come back with new tricks after training with BJ Penn in Hilo for a while?

D-Lau: When Joe first returned from Hawaii he was a beast. His postioning was very tight and he was slicker than ever. He showed me some tricks. But, me and Joe grapple differently. He has a better top game than me and I have a better game from my back than him.

Wolfe: Who is the biggest named fighter in the UFC that you would love to get a shot at?

D-Lau: I'm not really sure. I would love a rematch with Spencer.

Wolfe: Do you have any plans to move up in weight at some point? You walk around a lot bigger than what you fight at.

D-Lau: As long as I can make 155, that's where I want to stay. How much longer will I be able to make 155? Time will tell, I'm still growing.

Wolfe: I heard you always liked Vitor. Would you ever have thought you would be fighting on the same card as Vitor Belfort? I mean you were in 4th grade when Belfort knocked out Vanderlei Silva in that famous blitz.

D-Lau: Vitor Belfort is my all time favorite fighter. He fought in the UFC at such a young age. It's an honor to be fighting on the same card as a lot of the guys on it, like Fedor, Arlovski, Belfort, Barnett. So many veterans that paved the way for our sport.

Wolfe: Is there anything specifically you want to focus on in terms of your skill set for 2009? Like maybe improve your wrestling, or get your standup to a level where its even more devastating? Anything like that?

D-Lau: I just want to keep improving on my cardio, keep myself focused, and improve my all around game.

Wolfe: Some fans still don't realize how much technique matters in real fighting. I've seen you beat Sev in a fight easily, even though he is a freak of nature. Do you think you could beat Ray Lewis in a fight in the cage? Or is that asking too much?

D-Lau: It's a fight, anything can happen. I think I would definitely give Ray Lewis a tough fight. He's a football player, I'm a fighter. I know what I'm doing when the fight hits the ground. I could get him to walk into a choke or armbar. Also, look at it like this, How would Chuck Liddell do in a rushing attack against Ray Lewis? Ray would chew him up and spit him out. Is that a bad example? I don't know but it sounds cool. ha ha.

Wolfe: As for the last analogy, I would maybe go with how Brock Lesnar was awful and got cut in mini camp when he tried out for the Minnesota Vikings even though he was physically just as impressive, if not more, than the other defensive ends. He probably couldn't even play D1 NCAA football until he was coached up. But anyway lets move on.

Wolfe: If you are going to drink a light beer, Bud, Miller, or Coors? And has the wild side of D-Lau calmed down a little bit these days and focused more on training to be a champion? Or is the partying just part of the package?

D-Lau: Coors or Bud light. The wild side is still in me. I can still get crazy but I've really matured in the last couple years. I look back at shit I've done and think about what a dueshbag I used to be. I do still go out and party, but I'm much calmer now. I have too much to lose and I've worked too hard to fuck it up now. People that know me, they know I have grown up and matured. I don't want to be remembered as the drunk idiot, I use to be. I want to be remembered for my fighting ability.

Wolfe: Lastly, we asked Joe this but hes a wealthy computer nerd and entrepreneur so we thought we might have a better shot with you. 300 bucks and I will wash your car if you say "everybody check out whitekidsfromtheburbs.com" when you are getting interviewed after the fight. Any chance?

D-Lau: Keep the $300, don't wash my car and when I win I'll give the blog a shout-out if I remember.

Wolfe: Haha thats very awesome. The guys would be dying back home if it happened. But alright thanks for the time Dan. We all have been looking forward to this card for weeks. East Bridge in the hizzy Sat night.

D-Lau: Thanks Wolfie and Thanks to everyone for the support. I'm going to try to make EB proud and bring home a win.

-J. Wolfe
