Finally feeling CuDi

I feel like people have been trying to force feed me Kid Cudi for a while now and I just haven't been having it....BUT I am finally turning the corner on dude. I'm starting to feel him. Williams told me about this treat earlier....song is fire judge me all you want.



BTW I know Wolfie has mentioned it before but July 14th at the House of Blues behind Fenway Cudi, Asher, and I believe B.o.B and 88 keyz. Gunna be fire, I just hope that I remember it.

A Tribute to....Chick Williams

That's right, today we pay tribute to WKFTB blogger Nick "Chick" Williams. Nicky just turned 24 yesterday which means his life is another year closer to over. So, in his honor I came up with a couple reasons why Nick could be as ill as he thinks he is.

#1. His Pooka Shell Necklace- Nick has had this necklace for many years and some would say is his most prized posession (behind his hair gel of course). I like it because it always ensures that I will look far iller than him whenever we hang out with chicks. (Nick's response to this will be something like "Oh yeah you hate it? Is it too fire?")

#2. His high level of self confidence- You cannot make fun of Chick Williams. Because according to him....he is the illest of all time, is the most fire, best kidddddddddd. We all know that none of these are true, but the fact that such a little chooch thinks these things about himself is a positive thing, and he should be applauded for that.

#3. He has a hot tub at his dad's house, and a wiffle ball field at his mom's- Both these things are very cool for me to use, and make me like Nick more. Also, I have gained much respect for Nick on the wiffle ball diamond over the years as we have formed the most dominant wiffle ball team known to man.

#4. His dad is the man- Guy parties nearly as much as we do and I would estimate is about 60 years of age. He inspires us all to party (not that we need any inspiration) and also hooks us up with many treats when we go to visit him at the place he tends bar at. Whattaaa guyyyyyyy.

And Finally......

#5. His love of partying- This might be the only sincere one on here, but goddamn it's true. Me and Chick have had many adventures with partying that have led us all over the state. Sometimes Nick will even start off by being a little baby and saying he's not partying...but eventually he will allllwayyyss give in.

So here's to you Nick...your a great man, a great friend, and a great partier. If any of you see Nick today say "Hey Nick you giant chooch, Happy Birthday Yesterday" And if you would like to celebrate with the Blog and Nick's dad at the bar he will be tending, give me a call later on in the day...because the closer it is to night the more likely I will be blacked out.

We Fly High

Everytime I travel, I feel like I have to do an info-style post on the whole flying experience. I don't know why I always think about it. Maybe because you do so much waiting and get so bored that there's nothing to do really but observe people.

For one reason or another, I consistently find the whole airport experience fascinating. It's a whole nother world, where sandwiches cost $9, people are taking off their shoes and belts, and an innocuous comment can get you locked up with no rights read. It's different than the rest of the world.

You always have your basic 6 people on your flight:

1) The Baby - The baby is every passengers worst nightmare. It's ruined many a cross-country flight and driven countless people to the edge of insanity and back. Because on planes, babies are flippin out. It's loud, it's uncomfortable (they're usually on laps to save money) and there's nothing to do but wail as loud as possible. The minute you hear the slightest cry, you scan to see if that thing is in your vicinity. When you take a seat next to a crying baby, you can look around you and share "the look" with fellow strangers who, like you, are terrified of the prospect of this baby ruining the start of your vacation.

2) The Prayer - The prayer is a different from the rest by the simple fact that they are sure to do a Hail Mary before every take off. This in turn, no matter how much you fly or how calm you were, instantly makes you nervous, triggering a thought that, oh yea, we're taking our lives in our hands thousands of feet in the air.

3) The Fat Guy - In addition to The Baby, another unavoidable pitfall in flying is the 300-pound dude laboring over to your area. In this instance, you'd kill a distant cousin for him to take a seat other than the open one right next to you. Because if he's next to you, all of a sudden you're sharing a seat with the guy who apparently needs seats A-C to even fit. If you're in an aisle seat, you're getting slammed w the drink car because you'd leaning so far out. If you're in the window seat, forget about going to the bathroom without causing a massive disturbance.

4) The Nervous Nellie - Similar to The Prayer, the Nervous Nellie is usually an older person who grew up when flying was radical technology and dece risky. At the first bump or sway in the air, this person is white-knuck clinching the armrests, stiff back on the seat with a look in their eyes that terrifies you. They say things like "that doesn't sound good" to any noises coming from the landing gear or reverse thrusters. In fact, their consistent throw-away comments ("We should have landed by now..") makes you want to strangle them with your headphones for seemingly trying to jinx you.

5) The Smokin' Chick -While most of the aforementioned people had a negative connotation, The Smokin' Chick can make a 6-hour flight seem like a trip to the store. Usually by herself and reading a book, the Smokin' Chick is much friendlier in the air than on ground. You never get shut down on an airplane, no matter the level of hotness of the girl. Whether it's the fact that there's no where to run or people are just nicer 30,000 feet off the ground, the Smokin' Chick will give you the time of day no matter what. And while there's a dece chance she's visiting her boyfriend or something, you always assume she'd be ready and willing to join the Mile High Club at the whim of a finger beckon.

6) The Overfriendly Talker - The OT as we'll call them can either be a good or bad thing depending on your mood. It usually works out like this: if you're en route to a sunny destination with a group of friends, you welcome the OT into your crew, telling he/she where your going, what your doing and hopefully getting a few tips if they're a native of your destination. Butttt...if you're hungover/overtired from the night before, going off 2-3 hours of sleep, a slight flight delay and heading back to rainy Massachusetts with work starting early the next day, there's a chance you'd rather spend the flight in the lavatory than next to this person who can't stop talking about their grandson and asking you about the book you're reading.

Mike Jack: Swag On Mars

While risking this becoming a Michael Jackson tribute blog from here on out, I have to give one more shoutout to MJ. Wolfie and I were discussing MJ's swag level yesterday and we came to the following conclusion: it was on levels you can only dream of. Kanye West would be extremely jealous.

MJ's swag was unspoken and unmistakable. He was enormous. He knew it. But he didn't have to brag about it. Like this clip of him at the Super Bowl. Come up out of the ground and just stand there for 2 mins while people go wild. Look at that swag stand:



And don't forget when he debuted the biggest move in entertainment history: the Moon Walk. Thing was so legendary people actually accused him of using mirrors and shit because it was so impossible to do. Woo:



And this is just vintage. The reason why I loved this man:



Underrated that he's lip-syncing in all these. I guess he was the Kind of Pop, though, and that's what pop musicians do. Never got shit for it like Britney and everyone.

It's Saturday

I'm a little hungover....I'm pretty sure I was out with half the town of East Bridgewater last night, which is always a treat. There are really only a few things that kids in EB do well, two of them being partying and fighting...last night there was really only partying (even though I kept talking shit to one kid joking around about how I would murk him in a fight...the last time I did that he Marine knee'd me in my thigh and bruised me for weeks).

Anyways...this F*ckin bat trick guy is getting famous huh? He plays for a shitty independent baseball team called the Long Beach Armada. Also on the team are former major league pitchers Hideki Irabu and Jose Lima...in case you like useless info.
This guy should get signed to a minor league deal just so he can do his bat tricks before games...it would probably boost attendence or some shit and everyone could get paid. Maybe I should contact him and be his agent....


I didn't really talk about partying at all yesterday...which is something I usually do on Fridays. So what I want you to do is listen to this Diddy song beneath me and just TRY not to dance.

And seriously how finnnnnnneeee is Nicole? I smell a Wednesday tribute coming up.....I think I'm hitting the bean tonight. Get at the kid if you will be in that area tonight.


Party On.

It's my blog, I will do whatever I want

I will post 50 of these bitches if I want to and you will likeee it.

(Late) Thursday Throwback: Cassettes

(Every Thursday WKFTB will bring you a throwback, something that reminds us of our late-80s-early-90s childhood. Couldn't post yesterday, but I couldn't leave it out. Today's edition: Cassettes).

It's only fitting that the day after the passing of a music legend, we bring you one of the first ways peeps my age listened to tunes: cassette tapes. Everyone remembers their first batch of these. I believe my first cassette was actually Michael Jackson, which is what prompted this post. It was MJ's Bad, which I late had on CD of course (first CD, btw, Boyz II Men.)

Cassettes were first used for dictation and other stuffy endeavors before becoming the music recording tools we came to know them. Then they somehow became known as "tapes." Remember the Home Alone craze where everyone had secret recorders and stuff? Plus those little carry microphone kits where you could record your own music/voice/etc.? All of a sudden you saw a whole lot more of these blank suckers around:

Pretty sure they had the shortest lifespan too. The awkward time between 8-tracks and CDs was relatively short. Hell, people like my dad still clung to old record players claiming the "sound was the best quality." Maybe. The awful screech noise when you had to rewind or fast forward a tape was unbearable. Picture that guessing game if you wanted to skip around tracks. Nah, bro, you're listening to the whole album.

And, oh man, if you ever got the cassette jammed in the radio, or if you came back and saw your dog got it or something, and came back to this:

Ruined. Thing was toast forever. Sure, you could try and manually finger loop that stuff back in, but it was the worst task.

Other sweet cassettes I remember having: the Wayne's World soundtrack and Green Day's Dookie.

Anyone remember their first tape?

Michael

Alright honestly I know by the time most of you read this you will already be sick of hearing tributes and talk about Michael Jackson, so I will try to keep this short.

I don't know what the F was wrong with Michael in his later years....maybe he molested boys, maybe he didn't, who knows really. The dude had no childhood and raised while on the road traveling with a band, I'm sure that can F you up. Actually, if I was on a tour bus with Lil Wayne right now I would probably die from a drug overdose....moving on

I've loved music all my life. When I was a young kid loving music, Michael Jackson was a GIANT. He sold millions of records world wide and was loved all over the globe. I had all of his tapes, the Free Willy soundtrack with him on it, and used to practice moon walking in my socks. He wasn't called the "King of Pop" for nothing....and I think our generation is probably the first that doesn't give him the props he deserves because of the whole touching boys thing. Jeez ya molest one little boy and everyone thinks your a gay weirdo....just kidding Mike.

He changed the industry, he MADE pop music...of course he also changed his skin color, and his nose...about 100 times. Whatever your thoughts are on him, his passing is tragedy to the industry. If you hate the dude and want to make a ton of too soon, probably not that funny jokes...by all means be my guest. Just remember you could live another 10 lifetimes and not even come close to accomplishing what he did. I said what I wanted to...enjoy your Friday.

Thursday Deal

I feel like a couple people that I know are in the market for a good GPS....so in that spirit I bring to you this deal of the day.

TomTom ONE 3rd Edition 3.5" Slim Portable Touchscreen GPS Vehicle Navigator with Turn by Turn Spoken Directions & Real Time Traffic - $49.99.

Click HERE to grab it.

Honestly, you really need turn by turn directions with street names on a GPS. Taking a quick look at this one it looks like they have it so you should be all set. Last week I was driving around the streets of New Jersey/New York without street names taking wrong turns and flipping out getting ready to throw the GPS into traffic....and I probably would have if it was mine.

"Turn Left in 300 Yards"

Ohhhh ok Robot voice because I can feel out 300 yards exactly and take the correct turn, even though there are 3 lefts withing 10 yards of each other and your so slow to update my route that I don't take the right one GO F YOURSELFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

Anyways....buy this GPS, it looks legit and its $50.

Wale

A lot of my links of Music Monday break...for that I apologize. I search madddddd hip-hop sites to get new songs that have come out within the past week and put them up, so usually within a few days they get taken down.

I think we might have even had this song up here a while ago, or I know that either Wolfie or Kate sent it to me, but this is Daniel Merriweather (dk who he is) featuring Wale. I've been on Wale lately, I think he will blow up at some point. He's easily as talented as Cudi, Asher, and Charles Hamilton.

What are the Celtics up to?

Quick Answer: Who the hell knows?

In-depth approach: Hmmm...after the latest rumor to surface today involving point guard Rajon Rondo -- Rondo and Brian Scalabrine to Memphis for Mike Conley and and Rudy Gay -- it has become 100% clear that the Celtics are intent on shopping around their once-prized point guard to at least see if they can get anything of value.

Why? Well it looks like Danny Ainge sees trouble ahead in his contract negotiations with Rondo. The Kentucky alum has one year left on his deal and has already been quoted saying he's looking for max money. That's laughable unto itself, but the fact that Rondo legit thinks he's worth that much has to be scary for Ainge and the C's brass, especially considering they already have three players (Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen) making max or close to it.

Ray will be off the books by then and you can bet that's the ONLY reason why he's being shopped around in these reported Rondo deals. A) In the downtrending economy and in a league that was hesitant to make trade-deadline deals because of financial concerns, Allen's $19 million+ expiring deal becomes a valuable trading chip. B) The Celtics regardless if they trade Allen or let him walk after next season (can we all agree he's 3-years-and-done with the Green?) it will free up plenty of cap space for the vaunted Summer of 2010 when Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki and plenty of others becomes free agents.

In fact, the C's have already been linked to DWade by more than one outlet.

Still, it remains a bit perplexing to see the Celtics so adamantly shop their fine young point guard. When we first heard Rondo and Ray to Phoenix for Amare and Barbosa, we all laughed, Ainge denied it and we shrugged it off. Then a few weeks later we heard Rondo to Sacramento for Jason Thompson and the No. 4 pick. Peculiar we thought, since this is widely held as one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, one where the difference between the second and 15th pick could be negligible. Why would you want to trade up in a draft like that? Rubbish, we thought.

But thennnnn, yesterday the big bombsell dropped. This wasn't just a few reports on local radio stations or various blogs, this was SportsCenter, the juggernaut of all things sports, leading off it's morning program with a whopper of a rumor: the Celtics approached Detroit about sending Rondo and Ray Allen to the Pistons for Rodney Stuckey, Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton.

Of course we were told that this was just a few "lower level" execs talking shop. Not Joe Dumars or Danny Ainge. Predictably, Ainge broke his cone of silence yesterday to address the swirling Rondo and Ray to Detroit rumors. Here's what he said YESTERDAY:

“I’m not sure why his name keeps popping up, but I’ll tell you this: We love Rajon, and I think everyone in here knows what kind of a player he is and what kind of a bright future he has.

“I’m not going to comment on which trade rumors are true and which ones aren’t true, but it’s amazing. And I hope you can all maintain your integrity in this world of media that we live in. It doesn’t seem that you have to have any source anymore. You can just write stuff and print stuff and things just come out of the air.

“The one thing I can assure you - I will never sit up here and say there is one player that is untradeable ever,” Ainge continued. “But the notion we might be trading him because of some reason other than we think we can be better trading any player because of any (other) reason (is not true).

“Because of his contract situation, I’ve heard speculation. I’ve heard speculation of we’re dissatisfied with him or his attitude. That stuff is so false. He showed up late for a playoff game so we’re going to trade him. None of those things are true. We love the kid and we think he has a very bright future.”

OK, damage control. But WHY were the C's so intent on shopping Rondo for the past few weeks? I mean, didn't we all think things were working out fine after last year's title run and this year's KG-less second-round exit? All of a sudden Chad Ford is on ESPN telling people the C's are unhappy with Rondo, that he has an attitude problem and he's tough to coach??

We've had Doc Rivers -- always the player's coach -- throw a few veiled references out there that Rondo may be a bit stubborn. But after his first year and the first half of the 2007-2008 season, we didn't hear much else. And when was Rondo late for a playoff game? No Celtics beat that I read covered this?

Well, things got a whole lot more interesting today. Here is what Danny Ainge had to say this morning on WEEI. Let me remind you, this is today, ONE DAY after he said the aforementioned comments above.

On being late:
"We expect him to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader," Ainge said. "There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I don't know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and it's just unacceptable."

On the playoff series with Orlando:
"As we saw in the Orlando series, they left him wide open," Ainge said. "His presence hurt us in winning right now because his man went and doubled onto Ray [Allen] and Paul [Pierce] and made it difficult for us."

On Rondo's attitude:
Ainge said Rondo wasn't "that disruptive of a player," but that he still hasn't fully matured.
"He's got to grow up in some cases, and I think he is, too," Ainge said. "Slowly but surely Rondo is maturing. He's getting a little bit more control over his emotions and he's responding in a more positive way as he gets older and more mature in the league."

On Rondo's contract situation:
"Not right now, I don’t think that Rondo’s a max contract player. I think it’s a good goal for Rondo to have from a monetary standpoint, to be that kind of player that warrants a max-contract player. I certainly don’t see Rondo as a max contract player today."

On signing LeBron or Dwyane Wade:
"It’s something we’ve discussed, and it’s something we’ve actually set ourselves up for, to have an opportunity to think along those lines. This year, it’s a tough call because we’re trying to win now. If we try to improve our team this summer, it could prevent us from having an opportunity to be in the stakes for a big superstar in 2010 unless it’s through a sign-and-trade. A sign-and-trade might be a more viable way to get him than through cap space.

"You’re at a disadvantage with cap space because you can’t pay them within $30 million of what their team that they’re currently with can pay them, and you can’t pay them the length of the contract for the same amount of years. So it’s better and more likely to get a superstar free agent, in most cases, through sign-and-trades.

"That’s probably our best opportunity. You also have to be an attractive team, and a team that has some value. You can’t just have the money. You have to have other players that will allow that player to win. With KG and Paul and the contracts that remain going forward, that may be the attraction. We may not have enough money, but if you have some assets to trade for that superstar, that may be your best opportunity."

--What the?? What the F is going on here. The Celtics sure kept a good lid on how unhappy they were with Rondo during the past few years. Why did no reporter cover this story? And where is Doc Rivers on all this? Wouldn't you just love to get his take?

There are possibly a few things going on here, all or none of which could be true:

1) The Celtics really are unhappy with Rondo, don't think he's going to be signable for an amount OK for them, and wouldn't mind dealing him for a young point for cheap money and either a draft pick (Ricky Rubio?) or a complementary player.

2) The C's are more concerned with clearing cap space for 2010, getting Ray Allen out of here and using their one solid trade chip (Rondo) to do so.

3) But why come out and bash Rondo in the public eye if you're trying to trade him? Makes no sense. Red's Army had an interesting theory that maybe Ainge is trying to negotiate throgh trade rumors and the media. Something like: "You haven't been the perfect model citizen and team player for us, we even tried to trade you and no one bite, you know you aren't worth max money, but we'll pay you X instead."

or 4) Ainge has zero clue what he's doing. Why would he want to trade a pass-first point who has proven he can deal with 3 superstars and is more than capable of running the offense and driving to the hoop when he absolutely has to. It's like the pre-Big Three Era when Ainge flip flopped between making a playoff run (Gary Payton, hello again Antoine Walker) and rebuilding (tanking, trading Ricky Davis for nothing, etc.) every other year.

What's the answer? I have no idea. But if you believe in one of the four options, or have a theory of your own, by all means comment. I know we have some serious hoop fans here. So lemme know what you think.

A tribute to....Leighton Meester

This one's for you CB.....

So after our boy FC commented on last week's Wednesday babe tribute requesting this chick it actually came out there she has a sex tape that is just waiiiiiting to be bought / leaked. That really sealed the deal on this one. And hey, you really can't hate on that at all, because we all know that sex tapes just make you more famous (look for mine soon).

So I guess this chick is on the TV show Gossip Girl which I haven't seen but know that every girl in the world loves. Also, she is the definition of the cute/hot type of girl that would ruin my life / own me. Like I said before, if bitches likes these ever united against us they could run the world....

GetEmmm Weezzzzzzy. Can't wait for that sex tape to leak....keep up the good work Leighton.

The Spanish Erin Andrews

Meet Sara Carbonero aka the Spanish Erin Andrews.

Like ESPN's do-it-all smoking hot Andrews, Carbonero is a sports broadcast reported for the Spanish station Tele 5. She actually got her start with the appropriately named Spanish network La Sexta. Seriously. I don't know much Spanish -- thanks, Ms. Liva -- but I'd like to la Sexta her...

She's been on our radar lately because of the Confederations Cup in South Africa. (Look of for USA-Spain tomorrow at 2:25 on ESPN btw. US somehow advanced and more than likely will get pwned. But if they do win...wow..one of the biggest upsets in recent memory. Keep ya fingas crossed.)

At the Confed Cuo she was the only reporter who was able to interview David Villa, another target of Real Madrid's mid-life crisis style spending spree. I'm sure like Andrews, the only reason Carbonero gets these stories is because of her extraordinary reporting skills.

But seriously, look at those lips:

Spanish television is known for it's over the top eye candy. Whether its a soap opera, a talk show, even the news, Spanish TV give you buxom beauties popping out fo their dresses. It's like death and taxes. And as every dude knows, before the internet you only had E's Wild On and Telemundo. That was pretty much it. You can't tell me that you don't remember Brooke Burke.

Apparently our Spanish friend loves extra tounge movements as well. LOL this song btw:

A Tribute to....this F*ing Guy

I really love the grit and intestinal fortitude that this guy shows in the video below.....


Seriously this is the type of guy that you would take on any sports team that you played on because he just refuses to lose, not matter what the situation. I mean, he has to know that there is no way he is getting away with taking that mic and sprinting off, but does that stop him??? Not one bit folks, because he is a winner, ad that's what winners do.....they steal the mic from crappy fox news reporters and sprint off.

On another note, how bad is this weather? I just sit in my room looking out my window picturing it being sunny and 80 and running around the beach shirtless with models....then I snap out of it and realize im in my messy bed room in my parents house and if I ever took my shirt off the only models that would be running around with me would be plus size ones. Sheeeeeeeitttttttttt.

Bloghead

I love how if you love a certain drug you become known as that drug attached to the word head. Is it because you look like other ppl that do that drug? Is it because thats all thats on your mind? I think face would work too. Picture being called a coke face, that'd suck too. How did alcohol escape this scarlet letter? Probably because there are so many other things to call a drunk already. I still think if you found out people called you a vodka head behind your back that you'd def switch to whiskey or rum.

For some reason whenever I hear meth head I laugh. Im not exactly sure why, maybe because thats the scariest and most ridiculous drug addict. In my mind, meth heads look like punk rock zombies with 1 tooth and they are all jittery unpredictable tweakers. If you're a coke head, its secretive. Maybe you lose some weight and party too much and are a little shady. If you're a dope head, thats the saddest one. People feel bad for you when you're on H, people dont feel bad for you when you're a meth head. Want to know why? Because you scare the shit out of them. People aren't sure if you have that superhuman strength trumor or if you'll mug/bite them. Noone wants to battle those zombies in I Am Legend (modeled after meth heads).

But I digress from hating on meth heads. The larger point here is that you really don't want to do drugs kids. The minute people are calling you a meth, coke, pill, dope, even pot head, its time to chill out. At that point you're letting that shit define you.

Jonathan Papel...gone?

I was planning this post for a long time, somewhat forgot about it, then had my interest in the subject perked by a report last week that Jonathan Papelbon said he was open to singing with the Yankees when we becomes a free agent in 2011.

Here is exactly what caused the big stir; Papelbon when asked in A Sirius Radio interview if he would consider going to the Yankees, answered affirmatively and then followed it up with this:

"Not only the Bronx, but anywhere, I think anywhere is a possibility," he said. "You always have to keep that in the back of your mind because you can't just be one-sided and think that, 'Oh I'm going to be in a Red Sox uniform my entire career.' Because nowadays that is very, very rare."

Predictably, the Sox closer has backed off those comments since in interviews with the Globe and Herald, but the bigger point is that for some time now, there was been subtle indications that the outspoken flamethrower’s days in Boston could be numbered.

From Papelbon’s first major contract negation after the 2007 season, it was apparent this was going to be a unique case. Papelbon was not yet even arbitration eligible then, the Red Sox under no obligation to give him more than the major league minimum, which was $390,000 at the time.

Still, the Sox ponied up $775,000, a record amount for a reliever not eligible for arbitration, topping Mariano Rivera’s 1998 contract by $25,000. At the time, Papelbon had told anyone who would listen that he was trying to “set the bar” for relievers to come, comparing himself to the legendary Rivera and expressing a desire to play year to year on 1-year deals to maximize earning potential, rather than lock up a multiyear pact.

Here’s what we said after that deal in 2008:

"I'm pleased because I feel like I was able to somewhat set a precedent for pitchers to come," Papelbon said before Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins, one day after the deal was announced. "That was definitely one of my goals. I felt like the Red Sox were on board with me to do that. Now it's something I don't have to worry about and we can just move forward.

"Unless it's something that is very inviting, I don't think that I'll really take anything into consideration," Papelbon said about the prospect of signing a multiyear deal. "I'm going to go out and play this year. More than likely, we'll figure that out at the end of the year."

That same year, when taking about the Sox upcoming renewal situations with Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedoria and Clay Buchholtz, Paps had this little nugget:

“We need to take a stand and not let them take advantage of us just because they can.”

Fast forward to this past January. Papelbon, after another lights out campaign in 2008, was finally eligible for arbitration. Fearing he would ask for anywhere from $7-$10 million – and maybe get something close to that – Boston avoided going to the courts and settled with Paps for another 1-year deal, this one for $6.25 million.

The deal marked the largest pact in history for a closer who was eligible for arbitration for the first time and the third highest in history by any first-time arbitration-eligible player behind Miggy Cabrera and Ryan Howard.

He certainly deserves to be paid like one of the best because frankly he is one of the best. This is now attack on Jonathan Papelbon. But just by looking at the history of hi negotiations with the club, at his comments and his admitted desire to set the bar not only for himself but for all relievers, don’t you find the winter of 2011 a bit concerning?

I say there is an 85% chance that 2011 is his last year in the club. That would be two more seasons after this, plenty of time for Manny Delcarlmen, Daniel Bard, Justin Masterson or another one of the Sox bounty of young live arms to establish themselves as a dominating late-inning presence.

But after affectionately stepping in as the face of the Boston franchise after the ’07 World Series and even moreso after the departure of Manny Ramirez, it would be a bit odd to see Papelbon pitching for any organization other than Boston.

That doesn’t mean I’m staunchly opposed to it. You can’t be considering the fleeting lifespan of closers and the Sox plethora of young pitching. But it is something to look out for, something I think you’ll see become an issue each and every winter and subsequent contract negotiation – for two more years at least.

Typical Yankees Fans

This is what happens when Yankee fans go anywhere. Here they are all interupting a nice peaceful (c'mon how can 4,000 fans NOT be peaceful) Marlins-Yanks game down in Miami.

They start brawls, talk shit to women, even make their own kids cry. It's typical behavior for a New Yorker. This video is sweet.

Couple things first:

-Where is security? Imagine this happening at Fenway? You have huge Murph and Sullys in yellow shirts there in two seconds. Oh wait, Fenway is all kids and pink hat women now. Hard to start a fight.
-The camera dude is caring less that he's so close to mayham. Just straight video taping it loving it. I respect that.
-Love at the 0:04 mark when the lil kid gets a shot in. It's quick so you might have to rewind it.
-Marlins fan porlly woulda got bundled if he didn't have the seats to push the guy over.
-I rlol'd at the 1:14 mark when Rick Gonzalez (Coach Carter, War of the Worlds, see pic tothe right) looks into the camera.

Music Monday Part 1

Let's get into it.....

Jamie Foxx feat. Drake, The Dream, and Kanye - "Digital Girl REMIX"
I've kinda been feeling Drake lately, I have to admit I hated on him at first because Wayne just piggy backed him into the game, but he's growing on me.



Lil Wayne feat. Young Money - "Sacrifice"
I didn't put him on here last week on purpose but I love the beat and weird hook...


Part 2 in a little bit

Jake's Take: New York City

I honestly waited to do this post until I was a little bit messed up....and what better to debut this Blog treat at 3:25 in the AM all F'd up.

So as my friday post discussed, I went into New York City for the day Friday....and I bet that all of you are wondering what I think about it....SO here ya go.

-NYC is just one big hustle....people from the streets to the cologne stands in Macy's are trying to do their thing and get your money. My best method of fending them off was to ignore them or laugh...the hustle is incredible there, more than any where ive ever seen.

-There are people everywhere. And most of them aren't even from the city, they are visiting just like your ass....

-If your white, your the minority. No racism intended here, it's just how it is.....I was on a T-Car where me, my bro, and climo were the only white people in that thing. Was completely fine with it, but I'm just saying.....it's different

-Don't get lost in the hood. I touched on that shit in my last post....

-If you go to the ESPN zone in Times Sqaure and your pitching to AROD in the virtual baseball thing...don't go up and in because he jacks it for an HR. I was pitching to him full tilt and hitting 71mph and K'd him.....best part is the last pitch I put a little something extra in for a few more Miles Per Hour and split my favorite pair of polo shorts wide open. Picutre it was a 7 inch rip from my crotch to thight and I was walking in the city with it exposed for a half hour before I bought/changed into the new pair.

-The Driving sucks.....just man up and face the music, the driving is gunna blow getting in/out. On the way home we were going 3 mph and a little girl in the car nex to me was holding out a sign she made saying "I hate traffic" Well obviously Climo was sleeping so I was like being ill and smiling/nodding at te girl...she loved it....but her dad saw me and hated me smiling/winking at his 7 year old daugher. Thought the guy was gunna stop his car and come bundle me.

-You've never loved home so much as when your on your way back from a long trip. I was dying to get back into my shitty house with my roomates (parents) and no AC or a clean room to sleep in. Couldn't wait to return to Hell for some reason...

-Overall I loved walking around the city and being a tourist. I can't say that I'd like working a full time city and dealing with all those people all the time, but it was ill while we were there.

Party On.

-J Perk

Song of the 90s?

OK, so the Blogfathers and bunch of EB and Boston people were out a few weeks ago and we started a little mucked debate, namely what was the biggest song of the '90s? What song that we all love can you throw on and everyone will love, even today, at this very moment?

Well weirdly enough we had settled on two Biggie songs. Most everyone said it was BIG - Juicy. Tough to argue:



But I had my own camp. You see to me it doesn't get any bigger or better than Mo Money Mo Problems with Puffy, Biggie and Ma$e. I'm saying there's zero chance this song comes on and everyone isn't pumped. Even more so than Juicy because it's more upbeat. Woooo:



PS. How awesome is the dancing in that video? Love it. That epitomizes the Bad Boy Era. The dancing is whack and over the top, but they make it work somehow. Also, how big is Tiger Woods? Guy was being mimicked back then.

Any thoughts on this? Any other nominees? And don't say Gangsta's Paradise.

Tribute to...Climo

Jake's posts about Climo remind me about the good ole days at UMass-Dartmouth. Climo has always been a lil sneaky shithead. But that's why I've been boys with him. Get em Cleems. You've seen his shot heard 'round EB on the blog before. Here's a lil doc, made by the one and only Matt Maugggaaa dooodde:

In this Economy, I enjoy the gratuitous use of euphemisms.

In this economy, I die a little bit inside everytime I hear someone say, "Well, in this economy...". It's been about 9 months since Lehman Brothers, over a year since Bear Stearns...for months now, I've heard people, who I can only assume heard it on Oprah using this expression and really it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

In this economy, you are fucked. Plain and simple. I have heard the most ridic excuses beginning with In this economy. I think I might start using it as an excuse when I bang into work late on Fridays, I can't believe I haven't thought of this before. In this economy, I needed a drink...I needed 7 Galvatrons and a sausage after the bar closed last night. Whatever, I'm not denying that this isn't an unfortunate, shitshow economy and it's not over and won't be for a while. So stop making excuses for being a degenerate/awful person. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of excuses, but where's the creativity? More importantly, where's the bluntness? The abrasive, soulless reasons why we act certain ways...where did all that go? Speaking of bluntlessness (that a word?)...

In this economy, middle-management, those who haven't been shitcanned (euphemism: let go)uses euphemisms and buzzwords like their unimportant jobs depend on it. Here are a few I hear in my cubicle (euphemism: 3-walled oasis) and their actual meanings:

1. Best Practices. Things you need to do and exactly how to do it unless you want to get shitcanned.
2. Synergy. Working together to do more with less resources and/or dignity, you're lucky you haven't been shitcanned...yet.
3. Streamline. We need to technologically enhance the process, reduce human error, so in a few months you get shitcanned.
4. Cross-train. In the event of future companywide shitcanning, you need to learn this person's daily responsibilities.

In this economy, marketing departments are raping these expressions because everyone just can't get enough of it. My mom said "Shoring Up" a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure , actually I'm positive she doesn't understand what it means. I knew exactly what commercial she was watching too. I told her to stop drinking the Kool-aid and she didn't understand that either.

Okay, I could whine about this all day because it drives me to self-inflict pain, so I'll stop. Happy Friday.

Happy Friday to all yallllll

Alright its 9:25 and I've already got my run in for the day and am ready to head into New York City with Climo to go see my brother....I'm saying its already my most producive day since I stopped working at the U in early May.

So since I probably won't post against until later at night...if at all...I will tell you DON'T EVER TRY TO TAKE A U TURN IN NEW JERSEY, YOU CANNNNNNNT. Me and Climo decided to take a little late night run to the nearest BK last night using just the GPS, WOOOWEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee, we were cruising back roads and side alleys of the dirty jerz.

I'm saying we felt like real life Harold and Kumar....go down side streets with hood dudes like 10 deep, Climo leaning over and saying "Duuuude lock the doooorssaaaahhhh"
I hated it....This is a photo we had the drive up guy take for us when we finally reached BK 3 hours later.


Also on the way back I went the wrong way to the Hotel, had to do a giant loop, then the 2nd time around me and Climo were in such ill convo that I drove by it again and had to re-do the F*ng loop. IT sackkkkkkkkkkkked. Easily the best BK I've ever had though, it was fiyyahhh.

I guess I don't really have a point to this...other than don't go driving around Jersey after treats trying to find more treats, because your probably going to get lost in the hood and never be able to take U-Turns or figure out where your going.

Party on.

The best song (kinda) you've neva heard

This isn't a real song in the sense that it was 4 verses put together for this beat....all the verses are from these dudes parts of other songs but god damn is it fiyyahhhhhhh.


WoW. These four dudes and Eminem run it in my mind.

More on the Artie Lange thing.....

This came out either yesterday morning or today....Artie basically said that the producers of the show TOLD him to go nuts if the energy level was down/it was boring.

.....the show is hosted by Joe Buck, of course it's going to be boring.



Does Artie Lange think he is too funny though? Relax dude you got some laughs, I hardly think you brought the house down.

-J Perk

Ahmadinejad And Twitter?

There is a war going on outside that noone is safe from. You can run (Iran) but you cant hide...from twitter. I saw this on the news today eating lunch and Im pretty sure they butchered the story. They said that Ahmadinejad was ripping people all over twitter because they called him out on rigging the election. I spit out a piece of tomato and was dying laughing. Im like get the fff outta here that Ahmadinejad is tweeting on ppl. So I googled it and its actually a pretty crazy situation. Your favorite dictator is actually trying to censor the shit out of the internet but people are tweeting instructions to Iran teaching them how to get around it. They also are using Twitter to post pictures of ppl getting pwned in protests.

Check out the article on Esquire for the whole scoop - How I Crashed Iran's Gov Sites

----
And on the Artie Lange situation, I loved it. Howard made him huge. Guy makes 80k per 90 minutes of standup on the weekends and his book beat out Obama's to debut number 1 on the best seller list.

And Joe Buck is such a dry boring chooch.

Artie Lange on Adam Carolla Podcast

MUST WATCH: Artie Lange

Wow. First of Artie Lang is my boy. He's the funniest and the best on Howard Stern. He got his gig on Howard after he came in with Norm MacDonald once and killed it with stories about his crazy cocaine exploits in Vegas. Howard loved him. Clip here if you want.

Anyway, he was on the first epsidoe of Joe Buck Live this week -- you know the show Brett Favre was on too -- and he just absolutely murders Joe Buck and everyone else, especially in the last segment of the show, called "Overtime."

The Overtime segment was supposted to go for 15 minutes, but ended up being cut off at 7+ because the producers had had enough. Aparrently, HBO was pissed, but I don't know why. I mean, it's HBO bro; you can do what you want, right?

Well, YouTube took everythign down, but the clips still remain on DailyMotion and DeadSpin, so you'll need to do some clicking.

Here is the first part, the regular segments. Highlight: "Joe, TMZ is your favorite website? What's your second, suckingcock.com?"

Here is the second clip, the "overtime" part I referred too. Lol get emmm.

Thursday Throwback: Lunchables

(Every Thursday WKFTB will bring you a throwback, something that reminds us of our late-80s-early-90s childhood. Today's edition: Lunchables).


Lunchables were kind of the shit when they first came out back in 1st or 2nd grade. Sick of that PB&J everyday, it gave you a lil cracker and cheese lunch. Doesn't really make sense for lunch but people still sweated it.

You had the tradish hame and cheese, turkey and cheese, maybe get crazy and throw a deluxe package with BOTH meats. Then Kraft got nuts with the different types. Mini burgs? Mini pizzas? Friggin Cini Buns? I know one thing, tho, the nachos were firrrreee.

Always came with a Capri Sun or generic 'Cola' and a lil Snickers or Reeses treat for good measure.

Looking back, though, how shitty are those things? Nice Orange/Yellow cheese squares with slimey veiny turkey circles. LOL get outta here.

Check out this commercial from 1990:



Mini Pizza was a dece hit when it first came out, but I wasn't really feelin it, that ice-cold tomato paste and soggy crust:



What was your favorite Lunchable? Made it easy with a poll to the right.

Mariah Fires Back at Em..

After Eminem's latest attack on Mariah on Relapse's "Bagpipes from Baghdad," Mariah finally took matters into her own hands with a fire-back DISS song. I like the work from Mariah. She's had to sit and take it for a while, but this time she decided to do something about it. I respect that.

The best part is that I have more respect for this than I would have if Nick Cannon tried making a diss song. I bet Mariah felt the same way. "Uhh, Nick, I appreciate that you care, but just let me make the record."

"Ok, well can I at least say a few things on the track?"

"Umm, gee, uh, I already got Gucci Maine. Sorry."

Nick Cannon is a chooch. Mariah is on fiyahh:



Let us know what you think in the poll to the right.

Good looks to Balla on the find.

This is what the bear probably looked like, except real.

I always suspected Fox News of fabricating stories, here they are being all literal now. Also, I still can't tell if this is fake or not. I think it's real, because Ohio's civil superheroes most likely eradicated the black bears before any evidence of their whereabout surfaced.



Stay Classy.

A Tribute to....Emmanuelle Chriqui

Many of you may know her as Sloan (slade as I called her) from Entourage. I had to deliver on my promise of not featuring a blonde chick every week like I have been, so I searched the internet for motivation and came up with this. Your welcome. Listen, I know that I front like I'm some sort of girl expert...and let's face it, I'm not...BUT I DO KNOW that being tan makes you at least 1 full point higher on the babe scale. If your an 8 and get tan like this, your a 9.
I'm pretty sure Sloan was even on one of the initial polls we had about who is the hottest chick in hollywood or something like that, and I believe she won. Either that or I'm making it up....or I've forgotten from months of partying. I haven't read anything about the upcoming season of Entourage, but I hope that they bring Sloan back...even though it's obnoxious to think of that lil rat E banging her while I sit at home and work on my blog. (cue nerdy sound effect).
So, here is to you Emmauelle, there just aren't enough hot/cute tan beauties out there these days. And if you are on this season of Entourage....stay away from Seth Green, that kid is such a little mutant.

Another Bro Show..

Been getting bundled with these previews lately. Had to check out some clips. I hate reality TV and MTV for the most part, but with shows like this, can't help but be interested in the forthcoming trainwrecks. Love the OC Bag the most:




LOL picture these dudes having the producers being fake nice to them, telling them they're interesting and to "be urself," signing waivers (which btw when I went with Tevlin for the Bromance tryouts, the paperwork is dictionary thick -- they OWN you) then getting shit on when the show comes out. Kids must hate it but still don't know better.

An anti-tribute to....Speidi

The first anti-tribute in WKFTB history goes to Spencer and Heidi Pratt. Congratulations you two....I couldn't imagine any two whacker people ever being famous. Here is a nice little clip of them from the Today show yesterday morning.


It really blows my mind that these two even get the press they do. They should be on their knees blowing someone at MTV everyday for making them even remotely famous. Spencer is the biggest chooch ive ever witnessed, and Heidi is no doubt hot, but a huge C. Heidi, lets face it, if I had millions dollars of plastic surgery I would be a F*ing Men's Health cover model....so I'm not impressed.

This is what the reality TV culture has created....a bunch of people that have no talent at all walking around thinking they are celebs. Case and point with the no talent thing....here is Heidi's music video (bikini shoot) below. I love how every one of these bitches like Heidi think that just because they are hot that they should become recording artists.....nice try hun, now take off your clothes.


So keep up the shitty work you two....and have fun getting owned by dudes like Al Roker. WKFTB will never salute you (not together at least....Heidi I might salute you naked in Playboy though...just saying).

Did Charles Pwn This Girl?

Or did he get pwned? Im saying he pwned her. He shredded her so bad that she resorted to putting some knuckles on his chin. Plus she thinks shes way more legit than she really is. Keep writing your poetry hun.

I understand it can be argued both ways though.

And oh yeah one more thing for ya ear....

Ive been feeling this song for like two years and I'm surprised I've neva thrown it up here before.

Music Monday Part 2

First of all nothing hurt my feelings more than missing out on all the fun that was just discussed in the post before me. The only thing that I really value any more than partying and girls is playing sports...and last night I had to get alley ooped dunked on by some 6'8 dude and could not attend....FFFFFFFFF.

So part 2....time to get risky. This first one is more for people on the WKFTB staff other than myself, I know they sweat dude, so...

Kid Cudi - "Mr. Solo Dolo"
Seeing him with the whole blog July 14th at the House of Blues with Asher, BOB, and 88 keys


And now completely for myself.....this gem came from faithful blog follower Balla earlier today. Some Emmmmmmmmm. Fast forward to 1:00 to see Eminem rip it...


Also if you really like hip-hop and specifically 50 Cent visit ThisIs50.com tomorrow to download his free mixtape War Angel.

8 Mile... Highway Detours

First I just want to give you guys a run down of a real good time I had last night. Sev shut down a bar and threw a birthday party for his girlfriend. Shame on all of you who ignored that facebook invite because you thought it was a practical joke. Nick and myself rolled up to Malden representing the south shore and had a really good time. Since Sev was organizing it, we were expecting the unexpected. We got there at about 9 oclock and were hugging moms, dads, brothers, and grandparents. Which was only incredible because the DJ that Sev hired was thumping Birthday Sex in the background RLOL.

The night started like a leisurely walk, jogged on with some vodka tonics, and after some redbull veezys we were in a Usain Bolt sprint to last call.

Nick is off the market but I met 3 or 4 girls that I would marry Hangover style. Everything was pretty standard until the point where I hear the DJ say “I hear we have some kids here who can freestyle so get your ass up here and take the mic”. Oh man, is Sev kidding? Nope this is real. So fast forward through some black kids with graphic tees on the mic, then sev himself rapping lines he wrote all week, and of course Nick and Wolfie are on the mic with mobb deep instrumentals dealing like Buchholz in AAA, well kinda anyway. Im such a chooch but who cares. It was pretty ridiculous and I had a really good time. So yea, props to Sev and happy birthday to Deanna.

On a somewhat related note, Williams pointed out something pretty incredible on our ride home. If you ever try leaving Boston late at night, you’re going to get hit with about 3 detours, 18 cop cars, 20,000 cones, 35 highway dept trucks, and only 1 lane. Picture hitting traffic in the middle of the night, it’s the worst. At first we laughed, then after the 10 thousandth coney cone it got old, quick, kind of like Dane Cook.



Here is the kicker though. We are pretty sure THEY AREN’T DOING ANYTHING. Who’s going to stop them? The cops? Nah man, those guys are in on it. The workers that were actually in trucks were just going forward then reverse over the same patch of perfect asphalt trying to look busy. Those guys must be getting some serious Obama grants. You know the big lights they use to light up the whole road for night construction? We went by one of those and Im pretty sure it was being used to illuminate a poker game between cops and construction workers. Its just unbelievable.

Got lost in YouTube after that last post. Loved this:

Monday Madness

I know it's been beaten to death, but picture card companies just loving the made-up holidays we celebrate. Valentine's Day? Mother's Day? Father's Day? Picture those holidays mean absolutely nothing. 100% corporate and made up. You can take your parents out to breakfast on a regular Sunday just to be nice, you don't need to do it on a certain day and throw in a $3 card that they'll save for a few months then throw out.

Speaking of, I like how there is a cut-off date with cards. You really don't have to hold on to it at all, but you can't just throw it out the next day. Even if no one knows/sees you, you'll still feel bad. So you tuck it in a drawer for a few months, then one day when you're cleaning, you'll toss that and the others you've tucked away.

How about when you're younger, on your birthday or graduation or something, you'd love seeing those vertical, skinny cards. Woo, looks like they're just getting to the point and giving me dough. Except sometimes a cheap aunt would throw you a curveball and give you a money card with no money...wtf...should be illegal.

The Miller Lite Taste Protection Cap?? Yeah? You kiddin me? How fuckin dumb do you think we are? You really have no respect for us? Taste Protection Cap? That's why I should buy your beer? I thought the Coors cold activated cans were a stretch, but at least that makes marginal sense and it really does turn blue. But a TPC? C'mon.

BTW, Miller has stopped, or is stopping, all those Soprano spoof ads with Phil Leotardo asking store clerks and bartenders if they "need protection."




Why? Because an Itailian-American group -- The Order of Sons of Italy in America -- asked Miller to stop running the ads because it portrays "ethnic stereotyping." Whattt?? You don't like being portrayed as tough and badass? Too tight and ill for you? No, no, we want to be separated from that. We're not that cool. That's like me being upset with an ad portraying an Irish guy as a drunk. Dude, that's cool/funny/true. Relax.

By the way, how big was this commercial? Thing would never be made now:



Saw a rainbow the other day pwning the skyline in Boston. Forgot how awesome and weird those things can be. Someone explain that shit to me. Actually, don't. I like the mystery.

I've kind of had enough of Billy Mays, the black-bearded extreme pitchman. I guess it got to me when he started doing the ESPN Mobile commercials, because now I see him way too much. Oh, relaxing in bed, lil SportsCenter on as I'm drifting to dreamland....HI I"M BILLY MAYS HERE WITH ESPN!!!!!...my god, where's the remote, turn this shit down, just woke up my roomates...

Guy's a chooch in my mind, even though he could probably sell me otherwise. Here's a popular clip of him ordering McDonald's. Thought it was funny at first, but it gets old quick:
