I'mma Let You Finish, but this is the Best Pic on the Internet


Lil' Mama is such a gremlin. Taking a quote from Kanye West: Lil' Mama's inner monologue, "Hova, I know you just performed and I'mma let you finish, but I'm Brooklyn's Best Rapper."

Kanye is a Jackass, true story. Obama knows some things about some things...

Bracket Busted & Obama on Leno

TUSCON, AZ – OK, so my bracket is officially busted. I and another WKFTB who I will not mention had West Virginia in the Elite 8. They just got crundled by Dayton. Yup, Dayton. The same Dayton who lost to U-friggin-Mass this year. Unreal. I still think West Virginia would have beat Kansas if they advanced. Boggles my mind how a Big East team lost to an A-10 one. Wow. Just job, guys.

It’s been a tough day for the blogfather. Lost close ones with Utah St. and Tennessee. Not that those really matters, just salt on the wound at this point. I guess I could still have a shot in a few pools. Florida St. anyone? But it’s not looking good. I love hearing people’s March Madness success/sob stories, so by all means, give an update on how you’re doing in the comment sections.

-Another reason I love Southwest: I just change my flights to stay in Zona for a few more days then fly direct from here to Vegas. Instead of wasting 8 hours flying Saturday then again from Provi to Vegas on Thursday, I figured I’d cut out the middle ish. Well, not only did they do it for me, they actually credited my account because one short jump from AZ to Nevada is a lot cheaper than two cross country flights. Just livin the dream. You might never see me againnnnnn.

-Saw the B’s blew another third period lead last night. Wow, they’re struggling. Looking more and more like a first round exit as we approach the stretch run.

-How ill is this, btw. I keep seeing a commercial that uses this clip during March Madness. Not even sure what the commercial is selling but I found the real clip on YouTube. Wayyyooo:



Don’t know if you’ve had a chance to check this out yet, but Obama was on Leno last night. So what if he hasn’t actually done a thing, guy’s always killing it in interviews at least:

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.
