Few Different Things

First I want to say that the pic Perk posted isn't just a BRO example, its The bro. That is the actual one we were talking about. Kid was a perfect tool. I also was thinking that I should clarify, just incase, that we aren't referring to black people even a little bit with the bro thing. These bros are SUP BROs, not brothers. Know what else is pretty sweet? The way Leo says bro in Blood Diamond (brew). OK well now that thats out of the way, here are just a few things on my mind and maybe a couple links or youtubes, we'll see. 




-I was watching a special on Shaun White tonight. I dont think a lot of people realize how dominant and filthy he is at snowboarding. Hes like Michael, Tiger, Lebron, for real. Kid also has a gold, silver, and bronze X-Games medal in skateboarding. I didn't know he was born with a congenital heart defect and has had 2 open heart surgeries for it, pretty crazy. Watch him compete if you get the chance. Watch how clean his tricks and landings are, its another level. I love athletes that are so good that you will watch them even if you couldn't care less about the sport they are competing in like Tiger, Federer, and a couple years ago Crosby (I kind of like hockey again).

-I saw The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke yesterday. I thought it was really well done and you didn't need to be familiar with wrestling for Aronofsky's themes to register. Mickey Rourke was unbelievable. He carries the film and just has a presence like maybe noone else. You really can't keep your eyes off him. You should just read Bill Simmons take on it though. Its really good and echoes almost everything I thought about it. You can get that here.

-I would love if some of you guys that read this little blog thing we got going would sign up as followers so you could post comments. James Gambee is our one and only fan right now but it would be cool if more people signed up and could warm up the comment section. Also, me and Perk have some new ideas for you guys in the near future. I would say bookmark this site and check in daily. Basically all Im really saying is that I think this thing will get better, not worse. 



-Shout out to our boy, and current UFC fighter, Joe Lauzon for linking us on one of his pages (facebook I think). For the Bentley readers, Me and Perk both have known Joe for a long time. I was at his first MMA fight, and Perkins grew up with him on Anna Drive. Hes just about the best guy you can know. Joe also might be passing Tom Everett Scott as most famous EBHS alum if he keeps doing that thing he does. Anyway, Joe directed some new traffic towards us today, which made me think that maybe a little UFC or MMA writeup could be a healthy thing for the blog. Joe is fighting Hermes Franca on February 7th, which is going to be an unreal matchup between two of the top lightweight contenders in the world. Joe had the choice of three different opponents and he chose the toughest one. Check out JoeLauzon.com for more info on J-Lau. I should also mention that Joe's younger brother Danny "The Upgrade" Lauzon is fighting in Affliction's new league and has a fight coming up on Jan 24th against another very good young fighter in Chris Horodecki. I might be just as, if not more, excited for the affliction card than Joey's card. Check out the Affliction info here. Joey on Feb 7th is free on Spike and Danny on Jan 24th is PPV. Both are must see for me. Good luck to both of you nutty Lauzon brothers.



-Sports players to watch in 2009 and top sports quotes of 2008... Michigan State's Drew Naymick, on what was really lost when he missed two key free throws against Ohio State: "If I'd hit those, I might have had the Erin Andrews interview." Solid quote by Naymick haha. Its impressive that Erin Andrews can still be smoking hot while doing the same walk as when you first see the alien in the movie 'Signs'. If you don't know what Im talking about, well it doesn't really matter.

-Since this blog is supposed to have a hip hop flavor, I found a couple youtubes for you guys. Let me just say that the Sesame Street video is way better than the Phillies vid. Howard and Rollins should probably stick to crankin baseballs if you ask me. Howard is a goober. He does that awkward look over your shoulder face like a goonie that Timbaland does, hate that thing.
