So this guy is a rookie? Like that was his first NFL game? Oh no big deal, national television and all that, whatever. Just catch a slant for 32 yards and a TD, Lambeau Leap like I do this everyday. Oh halftime, good, need a rest. Third quarter, I probably should kneel on this kick off, ah whatever let me go 108 yards like my name is Devin Hester - first game my ass.
Seriously, this guy just absolutely killed it last night. He looked like no one on the field could touch him, like he was playing in a pee-wee league game. He was burning everyone around him. Absolute stud. I now have a new favorite player who doesn't play for the Giants. He was on my fantasy team somewhere around after he caught the kick off and before he crossed the goal line.
"Just let me know if he's coming from behind me alright?"
Anyone else shocked this doesn't happen more often during live spots? I never understood how the news people for channel 7 can do these 30 second spots in the middle of Times Square and not get dick and tit flashes right behind their head. At least people screaming into the camera or something. People show way too much self control. You want to make a name for yourself these days you have to get into a viral video - next time you see a camera you need to do something drastic - don't think just react.
How funny was this guys face after he did the "2, 1, mark" thing? Haha I can't stop watching it.
NY Times - Mixed doubles was front and center at Arthur Ashe Stadium one afternoon last week. Not on the court, where a United States Open women’s singles match was being played, but in a midlevel suite where two men and two women, drinks in hand and backs to the court, carried on as if they were at a cocktail mixer.
On one point, their peals of laughter caused the server to catch her toss and the chair umpire to call for silence. The suite holders were so oblivious, they did not know the scolding was directed at them. The match ended, and they kept talking.
“I always say that a big part of the stadium probably has never seen a tennis match in their life,” said Maria Sharapova, the 2006 champion. “They go out there, and for them, it’s like a party.”
The match marred by the suite talk did not seem to surprise Sharapova. “Drinking early,” she said, deadpan. “This is not like a baseball game or a soccer game where you just talk and yell and scream and don’t even watch half the game,” she said. “It’s quite different.”
Tennis players are like theater performers. Both require silence so they can hear their cues; in the players’ case, that would be the sound of the ball coming off their opponents’ rackets. And on each stage, longstanding etiquette calls for no flash photography, ringing cellphones, audience chatter or crowd movement, any of which can distract the performers and throw them off.
Is this a joke? Do Tennis players ever want people to show up and watch them play? Is their goal to literally end the sport altogether? CROWD MOVEMENT?! You want 25,000 people to sit there and not scratch their balls once for your stupid 4 hour match while they bake in the sun?? Get some cardboard cut outs and litter the stadium with them. That's obviously what these players want. I really don't get this - when I played baseball in college we would fucking love when people came down to games and went nuts, noise equals adrenaline. There was so much beer and liquor being passed around the stands it was great, people having a great time - talking shit - making out while we were crushing our opponent. It was a great time for everyone. All I ever wanted to do was play a game in front of 50 thousand screaming asshole fans. What did Jeter say? "I'd rather win on the road where people are booing us and hating us" because when you win and shove it up their ass there's nothing better than telling them to shut the fuck up and go home! Ask Jordan about that game winner he hit on the road in Utah - pretty sure he'll tell you that was the best moment of his career, silencing 30,000 screaming haters with one shot.
Why the fuck do tennis players need silence?? To hit a ball they self toss to themselves?? How about when Robinson Cano steps in the box against Justin Verlander and has to see a baseball coming out of his hand at 99mph with over 50,000 people screaming at the top of their lungs, see rotation, figure out the pitch type, location, and make solid contact like drilling it 420 feet to right center? I'd say that's a tad bit harder than hitting a straight tennis ball with a racket bigger than your fucking head. Who do tennis players think they are? They demand quiet. What world are we living in? Where loser tennis players tell us normal folk how to live our life so they can whine and complain about us taking their picture even though we probably didn't want it anyway - probably more along the lines of posting it to Facebook just to caption it with "Look how close I am to this asshole tennis player, don't even know his name or why I'm here I could honestly care less but I got these tickets for free from a friend of a friends boss who didn't want them" just to piss off the 1 Facebook friend who's obsessed with tennis and will probably cry and pull a hamstring when they see it on their news feed.
And what kind of balls on Sharapova, huh? "It's quite different." What a smug little bitch. Don't ever talk about the game of baseball like tennis has any superiority to it. Damn you for making me hate you because you are really hot and we would make amazing babies together considering you're an inch taller than me, wait what?
Anyone ever make a better YouTube video? If they have, I've yet to see it. This is my favorite video of all-time. Any video that I use more than 5 quotes in my daily life, you've got me. "I put da team on my back doe" is one of the funniest lines in history. I always assumed he hit this on the last play and it was to win the game and that's why he was so amped up - but no it was only to put him up 49-20, dude's just a competitor.
And I always agreed that remakes are never as good as the original.... But the commentary on the Marshawn Lynch run might even be better:
HEY LITTLE BOY! LITTLE BOYYYY! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
School starting used to be the worst thing in life, then you start to realize it was really the best time ever compared to your pathetic being as a working stiff barely scraping by. This week has been rough, Labor Day Weekend in Vegas, Tuesday off from work to recover - short week - fucking rules, right? Wrong.
School started this week which up until yesterday I thought that had no effect on my life anymore. Well I forgot to account for the fact that half my train is made up of asshole teachers. It's like some huge fraternity that gets on the train and has fucking parties and takes seats like a bunch of bullies. I personally don't have the seat issue, but about two rows ahead of me I have about 8 or 9 people added to the mix, all obviously teachers. "OH MY GODDDDDD HIIIII HOW ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUU???? HOLY MACKEREL HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER YOU LOOK FANTASSSSSTIC!!" Like they can't fucking fathom everyone is back in the same fucking spot they've been for the last 20 years, going to work on the train in the beginning of September. Well let's just make this into a huge fucking party and bring milk and munchkins and all that silly shit they were probably bringing for their asshole 1st graders and stuff their fat faces on the train while screaming across the isles at each other. NEWSFLASH dickheads, there's other people who have to ride the train who like to keep shit a little quieter around here. We got real acclimated to normalcy all summer while you guys worked your 4 hour camps and spent your lazy asses at the beach.
I'm all for people being able to talk and shit on the train, just chill the fuck out though. I just hate train buddies they're so infuriating. Don't look at me like I'm sitting in your car or some shit, has to be the most condescending thing I've ever seen. I've been riding this shit all year round, you come along after an entire summer off and look at me like I'm ruining your day? Fucking smug asshole teachers let me tell you. And people wonder why everyone hates the winter and is grumpy and miserable at work? Because they get absolutely zero sleep on their train ride in because of these loud, way too excited to work in the morning assholes. So thrilled with their half a year get out at 3 o'clock job. "No but I have to grade papers after work" holy shit shut up.
If you've ever watched anything on WSHH, then you know falling asleep by a pool around black people will get you tossed in the pool 100 times out of 60, because most of the time they'll do it again. I can say this because I have a close friend who's black, he'd probably call me a racist but let's be serious here. It's like the sun coming up the next day, it's like science.
I was going to blog about this yesterday but didn't, but watching this guy go from sleeping on the chair to sleeping in mid air all the way into the water was fucking priceless. His boys just stylin' on him while he's asleep, then basically doing a countdown on his face and he had no clue. His biggest mistake was having the headphones in, that's not going to help your awareness level. And this was definitely worth the price of a new phone, I'd chip in for that if I caught this on tape. Guy did a straight weekend at Bernie's right onto his face.
Missed last Thursday because I was off from work and had more important things to do than blog about throwback songs but this should make up for it because it's 21 years later and shit is still fire.
