So I was watching an episode from season 3 of Entourage last night with Nick and Tevlin (who will eventually make it in the film business and in turn hopefully make me famous somehow) when Lauren London came on the screen. I forgot how much I love Lauren London. From the first time I laid eyes on her in the movie "ATL" with TI I knew that we were meant for eachother....or at least that I was meant to sweat her. However....she became a lot more interesting to me when I started doing this post because ...she is the mother of Lil Wayne's 3rd child. Oh yahhhhhhhhhh it's true. I feel like I should have known about this. Was I the only one that didn't know? Good for Weezy man...the self proclaimed best rapper alive should be out there slaying biddies like Lauren anyways. I hate to ruin Lauren for you all...but here is the proof of her pregnancy. I'm saying she still looks pretty hot for being months pregnant....
Hey Lauren good luck with Wayne...I'm sure he's not out there slaying 1000 other girls and making more children. Terrible choice when ya coulda been with the kidddddddd. Now have fun raising his alien child....
I have to admit that I haven't really watched Conan in the new 11:30 timeslot. I heard the show is pretty ill though...and I also heard that he had to cancel his show this past Friday because he knocked himself unconcious. Well...here is the video of just how that happened.
Haaaaaa....I like how he tried to play it off like he was fine and continue on with the show. What a warrior.
ALSO, how good does Teri Hatcher still look? She is 44 years old and still looks FIRE. I know women in hollywood have plenty of money for plastic surgery and all of that stuff but damn she's aged well. GetttEmmmmmmm Teri. I only hope that Conan can recover from such a blow on national television...I haven't seen a celeb take a fall like that since Britney shaved her head and looked like an alien (figuratively).
BTW I guess this is just my blog now since no one else posts...and I guess I'm like the only one that reads it since a quick scan shows no one has commented in like a week. I guess I'll just have to continue my dream of becoming a rapper and give up on this blogging.
Sorry for being a terrible blogger and not bringing you part 2 last night. I was at work and never got to it. Maybe once I get a real job I will be able be a better blogger....either that or this site will be blogged and I'll never blog. I guess we can cross that bridge when we get to it....
Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew - "Bed Rock"
Haven't heard anything from B.O.B. in a while. This one is off the NBA 2k10 soundtrack....as always I'm feeling his flow even though it's a little different.
Oh yes...from what I've just been reading Wes Craven's Scream Trilogy is about to...start over? It looks like Scream 4 is set to be released in 2010, and from what I'm reading it looks like it's going to be the start of a new trilogy. Both David and Courtney Arquette have signed on and it looks like Neve Campbell also did teh same recently. Not many details to report other than that. Click HERE for a short US News article about the movie if you don't believe me.
I will get out a Music Monday Part 2 soon my peoples.
Good Afternoon my people. I hope that all of you are having a terrible Monday just like me....let's get to Part 1
Juelz Santana ft. Tobb Cobain - "Harlem" I like Juelz a lot, and let's face it you could put ME on this beat and let me read the paper and it would be ill. I'm sure you will realize it sounds familiar.
And next I bring you this corny song from T-pain...not because it's good, but because it's true.
T-pain - "Women Be Shopping" Seriously T-pain...is this really a song? Did you come up with this??? WTF.
A NY school teacher who is also a Red Sox fan made one of his students turn his Yankees jersey shirt inside out. Really not sure how I feel about this one...to be honest I kinda hate it. You read and be the judge. ClickHERE for the full article and decide on your own. This is the obnoxious stuff that gives Sox fans a bad name. Don't get me wrong for one second though, there are completely absurd and obnoxious fans on both side of this rivalry...I just try not to associate with most of them (Except for you Stello).
BTW I found it funny today that there was even a discussion about whose lineup was better between the Sox/Yanks. Listen, I love the Red Sox...and yes I know they play in the bandbox, but Teixeira and ARod would be without a question the two best hitters in this Boston lineup. I love Bay and Martinez as much as anyone, but that's the truth people. Not to mention as much as I love Pedroia, is Cano like BETTTERRRRRRR!!?!?!
With that being said...the regular season means nothing once the Post Season starts. October has shown to be the great equalizer people, the team playing best in the playoffs is not always the best team during the regular season.....SO HEAHHHRRRS TAAA SOXXXTOBBAHHHHHHH DOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD.
Listen I have to say sorry for not telling all of you about this earlier...because well....I already have tickets. But anyways if you DIDN'T know Jay-z is going on tour this fall and is coming in this area twice with a show at the Dunkin Donuts Center October 24, and then at the Mullins Center at Umass Amherst the next night. For tickets go to LiveNation and type in Jay-z's name. Anyways...Jigga just added three acts to the tour including N.E.R.D., Wale, and J Cole who appears on BP3. Click HERE to read the full release from Jigga's website.
Paranormal Activity has been getting a lot of buzz over the past few weeks. It's been dubbed one of the scariest movies of all time. How sweet is that?
Obviously, I was intrigued -- even more so when I found out it was a low budget independent like Blair Witch. How low of a budget? Try $15,000. The guy who made it was a video game designer who had a few non-name actors and bunch of friends in San Diego help him. It was filmed on a friggin hand-held camera.
So how did it get huge? Speilberg saw that thing and freaked out. Guy was scared and loved it so he got DreamWorks (now Paramount owned) to buy it.
They're releasing it in select college cities tomorrow and mass releasing it mid-October. I actually have screening tickets to see it tonight but have to work. Get at me if you like want those.
Put together by Jim Gambee and the Green Team with the background music provided by the Bridge's own Wambo. Peep the kid's sweet left handed stroke in the headband (at the 55 second mark)...WOOOOOOOOO.
So before I put my friend on blast I want to first tell you what inspired this post. This kid really isn't a Bro by any means....but as I'm reading facebook status' today very hard at work I come across the status of this dude saying something about teaching school and then parent teacher conferences. I have to ask you now parents who read this blog...DO YOU WANT THIS KID TEACHING YOUR CHILD!?!?!? Cleems, I love ya dude (no homo) but there is no way my kid is going to be in your class. Kidding me with this as your facebook picture???? Imagine walking into a parent teacher conference with this kid as the teacher and a fat bottle of dip spit on the table as he talks about your son/daughters math progress as described through his various gambling experiences.
It seriously messes with me that my friends are growing up and having careers....mainly because I know my friends very well. They should NOT be having careers. They should stick to what their good at which is getting blackout and making fools of themselves just like ME. Like Oh Yeah little Billy Bentley, your a mid level manager at an important accounting firm now???? YOU COULDN'T EVEN PASS GENERAL ACCOUNTING WITHOUT CHEATING WITH ME 3 YEARS AGO WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!? Trust me, by no means am I hating...I want everyone to have a good job and a good career, and be F*ing happy as hell. I just literally laugh out loud when I think of some of my friends working in the real world.
That is my rant for the day...I apologize if it has offended you. Keep fighting the good fight my people.
Is Lady GaGa hot? I mean I know her music is, and I know that I will without a shadow of a doubt attending this tour...but seriously no one knows what GaGa looks like. It's such a mystery to me...how do we just not know? Trust me, when it comes to music I seperate looks and talent...if you look horrid and have an ill voice I am going to think your ill so I'm not even sure this question matters. But don't you all want to just know what this girl really looks like?Another thing that me and Nick were joking about a few days ago was the whole "GaGa is a dude," controversy that went on like a month ago. One of our boys Sev made the joke that basically don't you dare be successful and talented as a female in the music industry or they will slap a dick on you faster than Usain Bolt. "Oh she's way too good...someone get out there and spread the rumor that she has a dick..."Anyways for whatever reason finding a real picture of what Lady GaGa looks like is harder than finding a girl that doesn't have a butterfly tatoo on the South Shore. This probably means that she's not that attractive as she wants to be at least...but I for one don't care. She's still fire in my book....hopefully once I blow up in the music industry me and GaGa will collaborate and I will be able to tell the world what she really looks like. Until then, we are left to wonder.
WEST + GAGA = Fame Kills Tour. They announced the dates a couple of days ago, the circus comes to town Dec. 16th, Worcester, Ma. DCU Center. Here's the entire list of dates.
My favorite concert to date was when Kanye came to BC. They worked some kind of serious magic with the acoustics in our shit arena. But yeah...so it can only be better right with Lady Gaga? Kanye posted this today which got me all kinds of excited.
The rumors are that they will be sharing the stage, which I think will be f-bombing amazing. So, I mean there is no way that this isn't going to be an amazing show.
Tickets go on sale, September 25th...so if you haven't got me a birthday present yet, then this is the perfect opportunity. I guess it's at www.livenation.com. or wherever else people buy tickets.
I can't believe I missed this, I blame the economy. It's old, but I think there are some good takeaways, especially for those of you that have 3 stray BL's and 2-day-old Domino's in your fridge. And yes, it is all about the chrome fixtures...
Cheese Machine, Cheese Machine...For 3 Easy Payments of Cheese Machine, you can have your own Cheese Machine. God, I love Magic Hugs.
Finally the video has come out courtesy of IMFlashy.com. Hype Willias directed music videos never disapoint, and I can't lie...I sweat the Lebron theme behind this. GettEm Drake.
Surprisingly, forming intelligible analogies is not apart of my vast reportoire of talents, along with deciphering irony. I is smart.
Eh, what I was trying to say is Mike Posner had been out for a hot min before I began my (not so)pseudo-obsession with him, and L.A. has been around for like more than a hot min, like maybe 2 and I first heard him featured on Something That I Like, by Ryan Leslie. Long story short, my ears like it.
One Night Girl, L.A. Featuring Mr. Music
Imma Star (Everywhere We Are) Remix, Jeremih Featuring L.A.
Speaking of Mike Posner, he announced his next Mixtape for mid-October. And this is just for fun slash a way better cover than the real song...
I have no problem admitting that I currently have many man crushes. And I mean I don't think it's out of the ordinary that I have one on Tim Tebow even though he is a younger male....because I love all younger women...so it really all aligns. I am a heterosexual male who is very comfortable with themselves so feel free to leave comments about how gay I am for liking Tebow or something. So the reason for this post is the picture that I'm posting below....I literally came on to post this and just saw that it was just put up on a very popular boston blog site. SHIT THAT SUCKS. While I am very discouraged that this image has been posted...I am still going to go through with this post. And I am going to do this for 2 reason.
1. How absurd is it that Tim Tebow still claims to be a virgin when there are probably girls like this lining up at his door on a nightly basis to blow him!?!?!? It might be the biggest travesty of our generation people....can you imagine it?
and...
2. The other site did not post the Tim Tebow song that WKFTB BROKE last year right before the National Championship game. SUCKKK IT BARSTOOOL!!!!!
If I had nickel, nay a penny for every douchie word I heard from my desk I would honestly be at least a thousandaire. Heard "smattering", looked it up pretty much immediately to assure myself that the person used it wrong, and they did. It's all about the small victories, everyday.
Full Disclosure, Biblically. So, apparently this lady not getting laid for half a century somehow reinforces whatever point she was originally trying to make (I want to assume it has something to do with Roe V Wade). It's probably a blessing in disguise, some people in this god-forsaken world should be banned from procreating all together and exiled to an island where they can be the dry-humping, christian zealots they were fated to be.
The Office is back, which is good because besides being highly entertaining it also keeps fresh the get-out-of-corporate-america-asap idea in my mind. Parkour, hardcore!
I'm def looking into finding some co-workers to parkour around the financial district
C-Breezy will never catch a break. Chris Brown this is for forgetting that you beat Rihanna to a near bloody pulp and then wearing a wifebeater to your court-mandated chain gain, garbage-picking, paparazzi fest -- we all know you aren't clever enough to understand the irony.
Attention: If you dig math, but also dabble in Hip-hop check out this site. Yeah, you might be a nerd. But, I'm here to support you. There are so many Venn diagrams and obscure rap references to make any nerd's day...
Haven't given Cudi's CD (Man on the Moon) a full play yet because I am still so into Blueprint 3. But I'm feeling this freestyle....
Kid Cudi - "Hip Hop Hooray 2009"
Also we've had this song up here before but it looks like this is the final version and some of the lyrics and production is a bit different....including LESS Lil Wayne which I hate, but oh well.
(This photo was taken of me last week..just being ill).
First of all I apologize for sucking at blogging lately. I have been busy at work making dollars so that I can eventually take over the world and entertain all of you full time.
Anyways, I get home from work tonight at like 11:30 which is shitty enough as it is...and then my roomate Mary, who is also my mother....starts telling me about how she saw some girl that was talking about me blah blah blah. Well I was half listening because a day doesn't go by when there isn't some girl blabbing to Mary about The Kid....
...but then as she re-told the story because she knew I wasn't listening it dawned on me that she was talking about a girl that was a student during my first year working at S.P.E.D. camp, and also that this "girl" who was once my student when I was like 18 now has a child in the first grade. A F*ING CHILD THAT'S IN THE FIRST GRADE!?!?!?! I STILL LIVE AT HOME!!!! AND THIS GIRL HAS A CHILD...HOW OLD AND PATHETIC AM I? (don't answer in the comment section).
Moving on to another thing that makes me feel old...I remember playing Tecmo Super Bowl on like Nintendo....here is the replay of Brandon Stokley's catch this past weekend. Pretty sweet huh?
Wait a tick, I know Cudi and Jigga just came out, but is this song the best song out?
Big ups to Kate for introducing it to me this week.
Now introducing, the best girl song since Maneater, Lady Gaga's Parazzi:
I guess we all have to dig deep and ask ourselves now, can Lady Gaga be stopped? Doubtful. She's taking over pop music.
There's an epic full video too. I was gonna make a joke, something about why Eric from True Blood is in it, but looked closely and pretty sure that's like the real him:
I was on the treadmill today (shocking, I know) with ESPN on the TV silent in the background as usual, when a new commercial came on. I have no idea what the commercial was for, just that it had something to do with ESPN and GEICO (the caveman was in it) and it starred Matthew Berry with his half-bald head and normal shit-eating grin.
It got me thinking: is this chooch secret ill?
The answer? A resounding 'Yes.'
Matthew Berry is the man. For girls and dudes that don't like sports/fantasy/life, Matty B is the No. 1 fantasy guru at ESPN. He was a nice little gimmick at first. The "fantasy guy" who would have a short segment or two every fall talking about some made-up geek game for non-athletes while announcers and SportsCenter anchors poked fun at him.
But now with the ascension of fantasy sports, especially football, Berry has become the man. Old-fart executives and blue-haired decision makers took awhile to come around on fantasy. But once they suddenly (finally) realized it catered to the golden audience, the much coveted 18-30 year old male demographic, you know, the ones actually spending money, they realized the marketing potential was limitless.
Need to sell beer or snacks? Want to pitch crispy violent TV shows and action movies? This is your audience.
And because ESPN, like most ginormous enterprises, is driven by the bottom line, they started pumping more staff, Internet space, air time and dollars into fantasy.
This brings me back to Berry. As a pioneer of fantasy he no doubt was laughed at and ridiculed most of his "career" before fantasy really took off. Now because he gutted it out, he ended up in the right place at the right time and is now at the forefront of the fantasy movement. Although Yahoo! has a chokehold on the fantasy community, iit's limited to online. Yahoo's online videos can't match the scope of plain old ESPN television. The exposure is off the charts.
All this makes Matthew Berry the face of fantasy, a face you no doubt love to hate for all its choochness (look at him hammered gaming on some broad to the right) but still appreciate with that underlying sense of jealousy. I mean, what guy wouldn't want to by Matthew Berry. HIS JOB IS FANTASY. HE GETS PAID FOR FANTASY!!! Redicccc.
(Couple other things about that pic to the right: love the couple fake posing, allowing the camera person to secret snap Berry's mug. has that trick ever not worked?? Also like the Sev/Tevlin mix in the background.)
In doing some research for this post, I found this absolute gem. Get OUTTA HERE with this thing. I strongly suggest watching it all. Just wait for the 38 sec mark. Wooo:
Matthew Berry, today is your lucky day. Big props from all of us at WKFTB.
(Every Thursday WKFTB will bring you a throwback, something that reminds us of our late-80s-early-90s childhood. Today's edition: Zubaz/Hammer Pants.)
For weeks Jake has been asking be to highlight "Hammer Pants" in the weekly Thursday Throwback. Having zero clue what these were, I chalked it up to him being sick and delirious for the 453rd time this year, pretended it was a dece idea and moved on to something else. It wasn't until today that I realized he was like righhhttt. Balla IM'd me saying "Zubaz" would be a good idea.
What the F are Zubaz? He sent me a pic:
Ohh that's right, those things. I knew exactly what it was then. I remember kids wearing these huge baggy softish pants usually in ridiculous colors and designs. Still a bit unsure, I called Wolfie to see if he knew what they were. He said yes and sent me a pic of him waring them back in the day:
See, both comfortable and fashionable, Zubaz were the Troy Brown of fashion -- they could do it all. Now you don't have to be that beast above to rock 'em. Many people did. Lots of middle schoolers, lots of people at the gym and particularly a lot of bros.
Successful people, poor people and everyone in between dabbled in Zubaz or Hammer Pants. Even unreal 80s-style athletes:
And that's back when the Dolphins were good. Coincidence? 'Fraid not my friend.
Of course, not all Zubaz were Hammer Pants and not all Hammer Pants were Zubaz. In fact, Zubs were just one brand made by a couple of gym dudes who wanted to give extreme roid heads pants they could fit in without them coming apart at the seams after a diesel power sled.
Hammer Pants were any kind of ridiculous baggy style pant made famous by, you guessed it, MC Hammer:
I actually didn't even own a pair of these. Not too sure why. Was I too up-tight? Was mom not down with these at JC Penny's or Filenes? Prolly not.
The good news -- for all of us -- is that Zubaz, the original, are back:
The South should just secede again, but then we should have no Civil War to get them back...that's where Lincoln was mistaken This entire thing is as ignorant as it is hilarious. Watch it in its entirety...I mean it's 9 minutes of pure, blissful ignorance. I'm a fan.
If you tuned in last week you know that I had a nice deal with the theme getting your grown man on...well to build upon that this week I bring to you TWO choices in watches which will upgrade the bling that you have now. Here they are:
Zodiac By Fossil Black Dial Speed Dragon Mens Steel Watch - $65.00 Click HERE to grab this one....but make sure you take a peek at this next one first.
ESQ by Movado 07300487 Sport Classic Collection Swiss Quartz Silvertone Dial Mens Watch - $79 Click HERE to grab this one.
Both of these guys are valued over twice the price here so at least give them a look. And don't be afraid to really be balling and buy one for the kidddddd.
Listen I'm sick...and when your sick you should get to do whatever you want because being sick sucks. I haven't eaten in like 18 hours and I think I'm going crazy... I have strep throat...what am I 10 years old? People still get strep throat? Give me a break...the point is I don't want to do a blog post, so here is the Pats 50th anniversary commercial thing. Many of you have probably already seen it, but watch it again, because hot Patriots cheerleaders are in it for at LEAST 10 seconds.
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...
WKFTB highlights and supports all local talent. Whether it's the Lauzon brothers, Wambo, Brett Anthony or Mark Margirit doing the Ch. 7 weather, we love when our dudes succeed.
That said, here is a link to a Universal Studios Hollywood Horror Night film contest:
The first video that comes up, Appetence, is done by a school called The Factory with special effects/makeup done by Blood First Blood Only, a group consisting of two local dudes. The winning filmmaker receives a trip out to some Hollywood horror thing, so check out the vid (it's pretty good) and give it your vote. It's already made it to Top 10 our of 100.
Oh, and you may recognize a certain spikey haired chunko in it.

The second thing we need to talk about is the Sept. 25 Fox High School Friday. FOX will highlight and tape one HS football game that night and it's down to either Plymouth North-Silver Lake or East Bridgewater-Mashpee. We have a lot of EB people as our core base of readers, so show your support.
I saw these today while I was working arduously in the cube. Thought they were worth the post. I personally think the country could use another McCarthy Era, that seemed fun from what I read in books.
We got two polls going over to the left. Haven't done them in awhile because the votes dropped from like 40-50 to like 15. Coool. With like a few hundred peeps checking this every day, figured we'd get a little more.
Maybe people don't see them or care for them, but I figured we could do a lil post to bring it to your attention. You can vote on the two questions, one about Kanye, one about the Pats and if you want to chip in your 2 cents, leave a comment below. Because of the general apathy of people our age, I'm not too sure if anyone will. But, what the F, right?
I've posted enough about Kanye, but here are my thoughts about the Pats last night:
The O is better than that. The offense sputtered along for the first three quarters. Part of it was Brady, he looked a little out of sorts at times, throwing off his back foot, as they pointed out 45 times in the booth. Another part was the rustiness of Wes Welker -- couple drops and miscommunications with Brady, you never see that really. You could tell he hadn't practiced much. The offense showed it's muscle in the last 5 minutes though, when it drove down the field for the first score and took care of business with the second one.
-Matt Light saacckkks. The biggest anomaly to me. I used to think it was because I didn't know enough about trench football, but now I think he was a great product of a good offense. How was this guy an ALL-PRO?? That means he was the best LT in the game. Get out of here. "Oh, he's good, but he struggles against speed rushers." Oh you mean he sucks against all the good ones?? Guy was a turnstile last night, Schobel just ran around him every time. And that's what you do with Matt Light, just run around him. I was surprised the Pats' extended Nick Kazur, with Sebastian Vollmer around, but with the reps Vollmer got for Light last night, I'm thinking they'll switch Vollmer to LT, keep Kazur at RT and let Light walk when his deals up.
-I think Brandon Merriweather is poised for a big year. I know, not exactly a stunning prediction, but he made the biggest play of the night and another year in the system will go a long way for this guy. He has all the tools, it's just the mental aspect now: being in the right spot, not taking stupid penalties, etc. And I know Jake hates him, so it makes it all the better. Bahahaha.
-The running game didn't impress me. Fred Taylor scored, but he looked his age most of the game. Maroney drives me mental at this point. I actually like him catching passes out of the backfield because he already has his feet going, but he just doesn't hit the hole aggressively enough. I like the 3rd-down offense with Faulk as the lone RB and 4 WRs spread is the most effective offense we have. Just toss screens to Faulk and Wes when you need to "run" it.
-The D might be risky. Trent Edwards looked pretty good last night. And in my mind, that's never a good sign. Buffalo cut their 2nd string RB, peaced their coordinator and had a pretty makeshift, young line and they were able to move the ball pretty effectively at points. Just the first game with a bunch of young guys who will take a couple games to get in a groove? Or will we miss Seymour (2 sacks against SD) and Vrabel (7 tackles Sunday)?
As a result of an egregious oversight on my part, I failed to mention in the two Kanye posts yesterday that Mr. West was the music act (along with Jay-Z and Rihanna) for Jay Leno's first ever 10 o'clock show on NBC.
Well, Kanye volunteered to speak to Jay before they performed. Here it is if you haven't seen it. The 2:00 mark is surreal to me. I feel like he's trying to make himself cry like A-Rod in his steroid press conference. Then when Leno reaches out and touches his leg to console him...I don't know if it was supposed to be an emotional "moment" or what, but I literally burst out laughing.
Anyway:
Is there any doubt at this point that there will be a Kanye-Taylor Swift song?? I mean ANY? I'm saying it's 99.9%.
Any thoughts on this? Kate, I'm dying to hear more from you on it.
At around 10pm last night...did you hear it? The sound of millions of NFL fans nation wide dropping a collective F bomb. Listen I was more than a few beers deep it might have been 10:30 I don't know...the point is millions upon millions of people were loving the fact that our Patriots were about to lose to the Bills. And don't deny that even you yourself had your doubts...I was nervous, I won't deny it. But when Brady threw his first of two TD's to Watson you just felt like something was going to happen, like somehow they would pull it out. If you don't think the Pats are one of the most hated on teams in Professional sports you are out of your mind. And hey you can't really blame people...NO ONE outside of New England wants to see a team win 3 of 4 Super Bowls, then just a few years after that run flirt with perfection. No one wants to hear about how Perfect Tom Brady is...how he performs in the cluth every time...how Randy Moss has completely turned his career around...or how Bill Belichick is the best coach in the NFL. They hate is heaviest when your on top people, and like it or not the Patriots are still at least near the top of the NFL. They still command the respect of a champion even coming off a year where they didn't even make the playoffs. And hey I understand...my intense hatred for the Yankees as a child was completely a product of their winning ways. I'm not saying the hate isn't warranted...I'm actually saying you should love it. Laugh at the haters, because hate only comes when your good. (Trust me the Kid knows all about this).
So as you watch this season unravel please take time to appreciate what you are watching...because even if this team does not win a Super Bowl ring we are watching the closest thing to a Dynasty that the NFL will produce in teh forseeable future.
More Than A Game is the documentary coming out about Lebron James' high school team.
Ill trailer with old school pics and interviews here:
There's also a sweet interview with more awesome dece dorky high school pics, but the chooch disabled embedding. Anyway, it's like 2 minutes long and YouTube link is here.
The crazy thing about it is that the kid who shot all the footage was some college film student who asked to tape one practice for an internship. He ended up just showing up everyday, at practice, in the locker room, etc., and they just never asked him to leave. Hohooo now he has crispy footage and turned it into his first movie. How lucky/ill is that? Hustle results in good fortune.
We've waited over a year for this moment. Well, 373 days to be exact. But it felt even longer.
We've gone through a harsh winter, a hopeful spring and a rainy summer. In that time we've seen the death of the King of Pop, the passing of a Kennedy legend, the nation's first black president and a recession that will go down as second worst in American history after the Great Depression.
New England has been depressed. We were bounced from the NBA and NHL playoffs, squashing hopes of a parquet-to-ice same day switch in mid June. The local baseball team made a valiant effort last October, but an undermanned and ultimately tired ball club sputtered out in the 7th game of the ALCS.
A lot has gone down since Tom Brady left the 2008 season opener with a torn knee. Now the wait is over. No. 12 is back and with him dreams of a championship, the fourth of the decade and one that would firmly establish the Patriots as THE team of the 2000s.
Last year, we had Matt Cassell, the man who just made himself $63 million with his solid performance last season. We had 11-5. But it wasn't enough. Something was missing in out lives. And that something just happens to have a cannon arm, uncanny confidence, blue eyes and a cute lil bum chin.
From P-Town to Pawtucket, Bangor to Boston, New England is rejoicing. Brady means more to us than any QB to any other fan base. Guys love him. Chicks dig him. Little kids idolize him. Everyone sweats him. His revered. Already, a spot sits for him in the pantheon of Boston Greats, right next to Williams, Bird, Yaz, Russell, Orr and Bourque.
Kanye also issued two apologies, one a blog post he put up last night then took down soon after. Here's the screen shot from TMZ.com via MTV.com:
Here is the other one he posted a few minutes ago:
"I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
Guy better keep apologizing because he's taking a lot of shit from the celeb community. We love Kanye and Taylor here on WKFTB so it's been very hard on all of us.
The crowd hated, Kayne was booted from the show and left the building after. Love MTV. Beyonce ended up inviting Swift onto the stage later in the show after Beyonce won Video of The Year. Dece classy move. Not to mention she was smokkkkinnnggg last night:
Mr. West hates white girls. Kidding... lol smileyface.
Most of you may have been in the same Sunday night primetime predictament. You, like myself obviously picked the True Blood Finale (explosive by the way, I hope Vampire Bill perishes for cockblocking Vampire Eric) over the VMAs, but I have to say I was recapping the shitwreck this morning and I support Kanye’s mental illness. Remember when MTV didn’t have to pay celebrities to act out during their award shows? I don’t. I also don’t believe this wasn’t planned, as scatterbrained as I believe Kanye to be I thought there had to be some ulterior motive (cash and/or good(bad) publicity) that was distracting him from the real issue at hand: Amber Rose being regurgitated by a python. Blame it on the Heh-heh-heh-heh-hennessey.
In other irrelevant news, if you haven’t caught any of the VMAs be sure to check out Lady Gaga’s performance, she may or may not be a tranny…but she is without question one of the most talented performers going right now...make note of the seizure she had while playing the piano…like who can do that? I chuckled at the random yet poetic pan to P.Diddy in the middle of the song, I guess showing him what real talent is. Ehh...I'll just throw it in...I can watch/listen to it while I reread my own posts.
Lady Gags Bitches Performing Paparazzi -- I really like this partially because I'm really into Zombies right now. ehh.
The Kid Is Backkkkkkkkkkkk. Some of you might not like this but I'm going to start off with something different...there is nothing wrong with something a little serious, and I've been feeling Bow lately.
Bow Wow - "Regret Part 2"
Annnnd just because I sweat Ne-Yo...
50 Cent feat. Ne-Yo - "Baby By Me" Am the I only one that thinks 50 can still come back with a CD relevant to rap??? Trust me I'm not saying "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" qaulity...but at least like Massacre style. I don't know what his deal is. (Balla I know you will comment on this post I'm interested on what you have to say).
(Every Thursday WKFTB will bring you a throwback, something that reminds us of our late-80s-early-90s childhood. Today's edition: Yikes! Pencils.). After last week's Back to School post, I had school supplies on the brain. This post could have easily been about Trapper Keepers and how sweet those beastly Velcro folders were, but instead I wanted to get specific. Specifically, Yikes! pencils.
Yikes, as you may recall, were sweet multi-colored, crazy patterned pencils. They had weird erasers that were strange colors, green and yellow tips and some had different feels with zig-zag patterns and such.
Some of them even changed colors when you wrote. Still, the bread and butter were the ones that changed different colors when your sharpened them. I mean, yea, it was just multi-colored wood product slammed into once pencil, but it seemed magical at the time. A green pencil for one week, a yellow one for the next! Wooo!
I don't even know why these were popular. I guess making any type of school thing "cool" works, but these just seem pretty gay to me now.
But back in the 90s they were certainly sweet. Writing with a regular No. 2? Boring. You needed a swirly red and yellow with a purple eraser to complete that worksheet. You could maybe even store your Yikes pencils in your trapper keeper. Now that's a beastly student.
The other underrated thing about Yikes! was the exclamation point. Which can first, Yikes! or Yahoo!..? Did Yahoo! rip off Yikes! or vice versa? It looks awfully similar with the Y, doesn't it? A true mystery, no doubt.
As always, leave any memories in the comment section.
Ahhh the first weekend after Summer...lucky for all of us men it should be filled with both College and NFL football, and thank god for that. Speaking of NFL football....
The Steelers and their fans have always been obnoxious to me. I think it mainly stems from the Patriots waxing them in the playoffs and each year some clown like Kordell Stewart or Larry Flowers saying the best team didn't win.....give me a break. I'm pretty sure the best team did win, and then go on to win the bowl as well. Anyways...I feel you Justin Gage.
It looks like TextFromLastNight.com is going to be made into a tv show.. If you care to read more click HERE For the whole story. I'm still waiting for my moment of brilliance when I can invent something as simple/stupid, and popular and watch it blow up. Something like TheKidIsBack.com where I tell people how back I am or something.....the day will come.
OK, as all of you kow today is yet another anniversary of September 11th. I phrase never forget simply isn't good enough for today. I remember exactly where I was and what my thoughts were when this tragedy was going on and words and prayers will never bring back the people we lost and the destruction of New York City. Obviously I really can't do it justice....here is Dave Lettermen on September 17, 2001...he does a lot better.
If you are like me, and I fear that most of you are NOT...then you are always looking for a way to become more grown. Whether it be becoming more knowledgable in current events or the latest fashion the Kid is trying to become the Man. So for those of you who are trying to get ya grown man on, I bring you this....

Just so you know don't even bother ever ordering anything if you have a PO Box. I have had one for my whole life and I can't even tell you how much it has ruined. Like why do PO boxes even exist if they don't work for everything? For example I got to the very end of trying to get this subscription and then I see **CANNOT SHIP TO PO BOXES**.
WHAT DUDE!?!?! They are run by the US Post office how can you not ship to them!?!?!?
Some people love the fall. They love the cooler weather, the changing seasons, the start of a new school year and the eclectic mix of leaf colors that inspire fawning poetry and deep thought in New England countrysides.
I am not one of these people.
Sure, I like wearing a hooded sweatshirt as much as the next guy, but I'd rather a bathing suit.
Summer is my jam. Great weather, UV rays pumping happy vitamins into your body like oxygen at a Vegas casino, outdoor bars, concerts, barbecues and a stress level that wanes between moderate and Jimmy Buffett. It's the balls.
And as depressed as I get when the calender moves past Labor Day -- I remain thankful for the late start this year -- I get perked back up jusssst a little for one thing: football. All football really, but more pertinently, the NFL, aka The Only Good Thing About Fall.
Here, play this as you read the rest:
With kickoff of the 2009 season pegged for tonight in Pittsburgh, I couldn't be more excited. With the NFL comes betting, couch-potato-ness, HD tvs, good food and drink, betting, fantasy sports, the Patriots, great Sundays, treat Monday nights, fodder for sports banter, and did I mention betting?
The NFL is THE greatest sports enterprise. I fully admit I like baseball better as a sport. But MLB has nothing on the NFL. The NFL, of THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE! as we should now refer to it, is set up to appease any American.
It's relatively simple. Six points for getting the ball over a line, three for kicking it between the yellow things, making it appealing to casual sports fans and women. It's fast-paced, making it watchable for the average impatient, action-starved American. It's super easy for fantasy purposes and really is the reason for fantasys ascension into everyday culture. It's the best sport to bet on (simple lines, over/unders, and unlike basketball or baseball, a tendency to follow actual trends).
All these are good reasons, but pale in comparison to the main one. The NFL is the best sport to watch on TV. I sometimes thing HD tuners were made for this sport. Crisp passes sailing downfield? Overhead shots of the QB calling audibles behind shifting linemen? D-linemen pancaking blockers and drilling the running back? It's the most crisp sport to watch.
I love third-down stops, third-down conversions, sacks, pick-6s, hail mary's, fumbles, bone-jarring hits, TD celebrations, coaches pissed off, hot sideline reporters, gratuitous shots of cheerleaders from midget camera angles. Love it all.
On Sunday's I get up around 11, hit the store for drinks, the Sunday paper and chips and dip. At that point good luck getting me to do anything from when I get back to when the Sunday night game ends.
I legit get excited for national broadcasts. Sunday and Monday night tilts are games you know everyone is watching. You can talk to your boss, your dad, your friends, maybe even your girl/boy-friend the morning after knowing they probably tuned it for a bit. It's an event, always one of the highest if not THE highest rated show on TV for the week. Big-name announcers, silky graphics and millions of dollars in bets, pool picks and fantasy seasons riding on it. Truly, classically epic.
So with that my loyal readers, I leave you with one question....are you ready?
Alright I know I joke around a lot when I do these tributes.....but in all seriousness, I would marry the F out of Alicia Keys. It's almost as if God was in talks with me regarding creating my ideal woman, and out popped Alicia Sexy As Hell Keys. It's really not fair that some people just get it all handed to them...seriously listen to this voice while she plays the piano. (please ignore the annoying French in the beginning...queers). That's scary talent my people...scarryyyy. And I know I have said it on here, but I will say it again....talent is a turn on. You could put this talent in a girl that I wouldn't like twice at and all of a sudden I'm in love. I really don't want to throw my boy under the buses here, but we used to belt out "Fallin'" at the top of our lungs when I was a senior in High School. Alicia is the only woman who has managed to keep my heart for that long. Get Em' Alicia...
Also in case you were wondering there is a method to my madness as to why I chose Ms. Keys...Check the previous post homeys and homettes.
It's like my two favorite genres of music made sexytime explosion and then gave birth to Kid Cudi's first album. By some act of God/Music Pirates the whole CD is on YouTube...
This is supposedly the next single off the album coming out next Tuesday, September 15. It's going to be the first physical CD I've purchased since like 2004.
So first of all I would like to address these comments made by Nick:
"Aight that's it for me for now. Had to get some stuff up here because, well, someone needs to do work. As one of the fans said in a recent IM "I decided tonight was the night for me to check your blog. The first three posts were all by you. I love you." Thanks, loyal fan. I hope you appreciate the nameless shoutout."
Ok first of all Nick we don't all have "jobs" which allow us to sit in front of our computer all day and take week long trips to AZ to see our significant others on a monthly basis. During these trips (each and EVERY one) you post stuff on here once every 3 days or so...if you want to start counting overall posts or consecutive days in a row posted, you will surely lose. Also I don't see anywhere on here where 3 posts in a row are from you...must be a BU kid with that type of math, either that...or your girlfriend/mom. Don't ever call me out on my own blog, or you will get torched like this time and time again.
Now as to why I haven't posted in a few days...First of all I apologize, I realize your lives were probably boring without the kid but I had to work all day Friday and all day yesterday at the U and wasn't even close to a computer during both of these long days. And the other two days I spent at the 100 inning baseball game which Curt Schilling has every year to benefit ALS. The game started at 9 am Saturday and ended at around 3:00pm Sunday. I was there for the first 55 before I had to return home and sleep for the rest of the weekend. If you are a ball player it is probably one of the greatest things you will ever do in your life...and ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) is as good a cause as any. HERE is a link to the website.
In music news, Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 came out today. The thing is FIYYAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA. Go out and buy it if you haven't already.
I really don't want to get into specific songs just yet...but please just look at the track listing:
1. What We Talkin' About (Jay-Z + Luke Steele of Empire Of The Sun) 2. Thank You 3. D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune) 4. Run This Town (Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West) 5. Empire State Of Mind (Jay-Z + Alicia Keys) 6. Real As It Gets (Jay-Z + Young Jeezy) 7. On To The Next One (Jay-Z + Swizz Beatz) 8. Off That (Jay-Z + Drake) 9. A Star Is Born (Jay-Z + J. Cole) 10. Venus Vs. Mars 11. Already Home (Jay-Z + Kid Cudi) 12. Hate (Jay-Z + Kanye West) 13. Reminder 14. So Ambitious (Jay-Z + Pharrell) 15. Young Forever (Jay-Z + Mr Hudson)
I'm sure I will get back at you all later tonight....peaaaaaaaace.
I was thinking about this the other day when I threw together that piece on Sorority Row and Shutter Island. I spelt Scorsese like Scorecese and it was picked up in a spell check. THAT's how you know you made it. When your uncommon name (this isn't Williasm getting fixed here) is recognized by the automated spelling fixer.
Pretty impressive, no?
--- Did anyone watch the Miami-FSU game last night? Wowie. Whatta game. Lecroy Harris looked awesome in his first game. Can't believe that skinny thing was doing work on FSU. I would like nothing more than for Miami to be back and relevant again. Since we grew up with them being dominant, it's just weird when they're not. Good back and forth game though.
For some reason it reminded me of this game back in 2002:
Damn, how ill did McGahee used to be before he crunked his knee in his last college game??
--- Should I add Madden to my Thursday Throwback soon?? Nah, def not, but I still haven't got the game yet. Used to snag that thing at like midnight because I loved it. I dunno, I just don't play much video games anymore. Kind of sad. I'm sure if I lived with a male my age that I would get right back into it, though. It's just that solo vid games aren't that fun.
The other thing is that Madden takes pains to become more realistic every year. I hate that. I don't want the game slower or harder or better on defense. I want to be chucking hail marys to Moss and scrambling with McNabb and shit. I think my favorite Madden was the 2004 one with Vick on the cover. Used to hang 60 on dudes on the reg.
I'm not the only one with Madden beef though:

Aight that's it for me for now. Had to get some stuff up here because, well, someone needs to do work. As one of the fans said in a recent IM "I decided tonight was the night for me to check your blog. The first three posts were all by you. I love you." Thanks, loyal fan. I hope you appreciate the nameless shoutout.
I'm heading out later tonight, to peep these guys against the Diamondbacks:
Can't tell you how many times I texted "LOL Smileyface" to people this weekend. Kinda funny right? or "WTF Cynicalface" which looks like this: WTF =/ ...anyway. I want to assume everyone was too hungover to function yesterday...
So I was watching an episode from season 3 of Entourage last night with Nick and Tevlin (who will eventually make it in the film business and in turn hopefully make me famous somehow) when Lauren London came on the screen. I forgot how much I love Lauren London. From the first time I laid eyes on her in the movie "ATL" with TI I knew that we were meant for eachother....or at least that I was meant to sweat her. However....she became a lot more interesting to me when I started doing this post because 
...she is the mother of Lil Wayne's 3rd child. Oh yahhhhhhhhhh it's true. I feel like I should have known about this. Was I the only one that didn't know? Good for Weezy man...the self proclaimed best rapper alive should be out there slaying biddies like Lauren anyways. I hate to ruin Lauren for you all...but here is the proof of her pregnancy. I'm saying she still looks pretty hot for being months pregnant....
