Another Top Ten - Ask Yourself Why?


Welcome Back….. 

It’s been a long time…  A damn long time…
I have had a lot of stuff on my mind that I can’t sleep on anymore. People have gotten out of control doing some the most outlandish mess that I have seen in years. And going into the holiday season, this mess has only gotten worse. 

I had that old Jadakiss on heavy rotation in the car this morning and that killa joint Why with Anthony Hamilton came on.

I listened to it about 17 times before I had to stop and think about all the dumb ish going on and why people continue to do it. So in the spirit of Jadakiss and Anthony Hamilton, here are my Top Ten things that make you just say… WHY?

10) Why is Kim Kardashian’s STILL famous
Most of the world has seen the video. We know you have a big butt and all that. And we know you are all about making that money (See Ray J, Miles Austin, Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries) But what have YOU actually accomplished?
P.S. Please don’t mention that Jam song….  The nation agrees that song is straight mildew.

If you haven’t seen it, here is a clip below:


9) Why are people hating on the SEC and the National Championship?
Don’t hate the SEC, hate the system. I will admit, the SEC champ vs. USC will be fun to watch next year.


Jordan XI - Concord
8) Why are fools jacking/killing people for sneakers?
This will never end… TMZ reported that even in Kentucky and North Carolina people were getting pepper sprayed and even girls were exchanging blows over these shoes. Also the Twitter universe is saying a kid was killed over the Concords after they dropped at Midnight EST. #Tragic

7) Why does everyone think they can be a rapper/producer?
Just because you may get sideways on a bottle of Hennessey and dropped something sick over an instrumental doesn’t mean you should quit your day job and start writing. We have all done it before once in our lives, but it gets real when you are expected develop longevity of exceeding expectations. I’m not saying to quit pursuing your passion, but what I am saying is keep it 100 to yourself when doing it.  

6) Why have Reality TV shows really taken over?
I miss Cosby Show, Different World, Cheers, and Night Court. Hell even Friends, The Office, and My Wife and Kids were good. Now every channel has The Real Housewives of Nantucket or The Kardashians take Manhattan on rotation.


5) Why is Kim Kardas…. Damn I already said that one.


Don't Hate
4) Why is everyone hating on Tebow?
Like he asked for all of this attention, just let the man do his thing. If it works, cool. If he fails, so be it. Just let him be. He’s not built like a normal QB,  he doesn’t throw like a normal QB. 
Well I also see he can take a hit better than a normal QB, and his team is 7-2 which is better than many of the normal QBs. 
 


3) Why do Old-Ass-Butt-Naked men like to “chat” in Gym Locker Rooms?
I have nothing to say about the game last night. I don’t care about Google’s stock price. I really don’t hear a damn thing you are saying until you put on a towel, some Hanes, dammit just put on something!!!! REALLY!  

Hangover II
2) Why has suing someone else become a trend?
Everybody wants to sue to get paid…. Louis Vuitton is suing the creators of the Hangover II movie for having their bag in the movie. Then claimed it was a knockoff.  Yeah, next thing you know I may get sued by Jack Daniels for sipping some J&C on YouTube. Wait… can they really do that?!?!


1) Why Don't People just follow these simple steps by Chris Rock???
The steps in this video will save people plenty of headaches. After watching this, there is not much left to say…. 



On that note I'm going to finish my Christmas shopping, grab a glass of Baileys, and call it a day.

FIVE TO THE FACE: College Football Picks – Week 2 (Part II)

I can’t be suckered into the “Tom Foolery” that the media wants us to believe. For instance; I heard Kirk Herbstriet all but say that Penn State may hand Alabama an upset this Saturday. This is the same person that said Oregon was going to win the National Championship…. You can cancel that too Herbs.

I also see that Notre Dame is favored over Michigan this week. Really? First home game under the lights in the history of the Wolverines and the media believes in the inept Irish? Why in the hell were they ranked to begin with?

Notre Dame (along with UGA) being ranked in the preseason top 20 made as much sense as a scared Boomhauer calling 911.

Let’s get to the picks:

#16 Mississippi St. vs. Auburn

Line: Mississippi St (-6.5)
Utah State… Yooo Taaah State! Oh that was last week.  Auburn welcomes the school that initiated “Cam-Gate”, and would like to practice a lil but whippin for some sweet revenge. It just ain’t going to happen. Take Mississippi laying the 6.5. #16 Mississippi State 30 – Auburn 13  

#23 Penn St. vs. #3 Alabama
Line: Alabama (-10)
It’s going to be rowdy in Happy Valley. I hope that Bama nation is ready for a hostile environment. It’s not like they don’t play in the Swamp, the Plains, or under the lights in Death Valley. 

Yeah if you can win in Death Valley, I like your chances in Happy Valley.  Take Bama giving the 10. #3 Alabama 31 – #23 Penn State 14

#12 South Carolina vs. Georgia
Line: South Carolina (-3)
The only thing Spurrier hates worse than missing a 7am tee-time is UGA, and he is going to exercise his muscle this week. Historically Spurrier’s Gator teams would not only beat a team physically, but mentally by putting Playstation numbers on the scoreboard.

Richt is officially in trouble Sunday morning. Take uSC laying the easy 3. #12 South Carolina 42 – Georgia 24


Arizona State vs. #21 Missouri
Line: Arizona State (-7.5)
What better way to spend a Friday night in the desert than to watch a shootout with a bunch of inebriated co-eds. 

I mean I'm just asking, I'll be watching this one with the wifey. 

This one will be a good one to watch nevertheless. I believe Arizona State will win this one, but it will be closer than the spread gives. Take Missouri with the points. Arizona State 27 - #21 Missouri 23

Michigan vs. Notre Dame
Line: Notre Dame (-3.5)
I still don’t understand why people are so infatuated with the golden domers. Do people think Michigan fell off from last year, or do they thing Notre Dame is that much better?

Remember what Denard Robinson did to you in Your House?

Do you really believe they are going to go into Ann Arbor and lay 3 and a half points, and come away covering the spread? You are smart one if your answer is No. A couple of early Notre Dame turnovers and this could get ugly. I’m taking Michigan straight up. Michigan 31 – Notre Dame 17

Jack, Coke and my trusty remote….. I’m ready for another Saturday.

FIVE TO THE FACE: College Football Picks – Week 2 (Part I)

The second week of college football kicks off tonight with Arizona traveling to Oklahoma State, but it will have to share time with the N.O./Green Bay game tonight
Before I review my 5 for this weekend, allow me to revisit the picks for week 1.

South Florida at #16 Notre Dame - Line: Notre Dame (-10.5)
My Prediction: USF with the points - Notre Dame 24 – South Florida 21
Actual Score: USF 23 – ND 20

I had a feeling that South Florida would win, but I wouldn’t have put money on it. But after watching that mess…. 


Notre Dame’s play looks like “Mildew over Boo-Boo”. Michigan is gonna dust them under the lights Saturday. Don't act surprised Coach Kelly. You knew they were sorry before you took the job.



#5 Boise State vs. #19 Georgia - Line: Boise State (-3.5)
My Prediction: UGA straight up - #19 Georgia 24 - #5 Boise State 23
Actual Score: BSU 35 – UGA 21
Damn, I guess this means we are going to have to hear this Boise in the BCS mess all year long…. AGAIN! 

#4 LSU vs. #3 Oregon  - Line: Oregon (-4)
My Prediction: LSU straight up -  #4 LSU 21 - #3 Oregon 17
Actual Score: LSU 40 – Oregon 27

Was anyone outside Eugene, Oregon surprised? I wasn’t expecting 40, especially with “Pick-6 Lee” at QB.

#8 Texas A&M vs. SMU - Line: Texas A&M (-15.5)
My Prediction: Texas A&M laying the points  - #8 Texas A&M 35 – SMU 10
Actual Score: TA&M 46 – SUM 14

Welcome to the SEC Aggies. It will be interesting to see how your final year of Big 12, 11, 10, 9 will pan out. Look forward to that meeting with Baylor. 


Maryland Unis vs. Two-Face - No One Wins.
Miami at Maryland - Line: Maryland (-3)
My Prediction: Miami straight up - Miami 31 – Maryland 17
Actual Score: Maryland 32 – The U 24

This is NOT the U that I remember. I blame those traffic accident jerseys Maryland were
wearing. You can't tell if its a Maryland football player, or that crazy dude from the old school Batman cartoons.

Better yet, I blame the removal of Shapiro. If I was able to go on yacht trips, pop bottles every weekend, and find $100 stacks in my locker after games…. And all of it disappeared…. I would need a game or two to get my mind together as well. 

Record this week: 3-2
Record for the year: 3-2
