Derrick Rose Named Rookie of the Year...and Other Sports Ish

Yes. Yes. Yurp.

First off, that'swhatshesaid. Secondly, I saw this earlier today and couldn't be happier. D.Rose has really worked out for us so far and first picks don't always work out. [As we all know.] His numbers and performance were the reason he won the award: 2^nd among all rookies in scoring, 1^st in assists and minutes played. Bawse. I'm glad he showed that not every front office in Chicago sports is not T'd. And I'm sure his performance in Game 1 vs Boston pretty much sealed the award.
[Note: I'm not sure how OJ Mayo got completely out of the ROY picture. He scored buckets all year out in fucking Memphis. Whatever.]

NFL Draft Ish:
Shawn and Darry, good luck this weekend in New York. I'm sure you're both gonna be beasts at the next level. Wavy.

Now onto the unwaviness.
News just dropped that future NFL first rounder Percy Harvin and former UNC WR Brandon Tate tested positive for marijuana during the NFL combine back in February. I understand that smoking weed might be a common thing, but to do it when you know you have MILLIONS of dollars on the line AND you know you're gonna be tested....come on man. And I like both of these guys [nh] but this was one of the dumbest things they could have done. Pulling a Mario Chalmers. smh. While I think this might actually make Harvin drop a few spots in the draft, I'm positive it won't effect him on the field. SEC all day. It just shows possible teams that he might have some maturity issues and he already starts his rookie year with one strike against him.
[Un]wavy.

The Draft is this Saturday and Saturday and Sunday on ESPN. Owwww.

Daily Annoyances - October 11, 2008

Annoyance: Bad drivers that insist on talking on the phone while they drive.

This has been a longtime pet peeve of mine but today it got worse. This dumb ass dude was in front of me driving from lane to lane, almost hit a CHILD then slammed on the brakes at a yellow light. It took everything in me [no homo/thatswhatshesaid] not to get out of the car and MURDER him. And that was before I even realized he was on the phone. I don't really have a problem with bad drivers, but when you're bad because you're on the phone...it should be legal for me to kill you.

And to add to that, he was on a big giant ass bluetooth. Bluetooths are about as cool as Karl Kani jeans. No more, please.


Talk to em, Prince.

Music of the Moment - October 8, 2008

"Rebel for the hell of it/
Hella rich/Never have to sell a brick again/
Must I tell a bitch again/
The bullshit I'm addressin' check I'm on some next level shit/
Never been fucked in the game, I'm celibate/
Rarely out my element/Barely out the ghetto with
One foot and one foot in as intelligent as fellas get/
Listen, let's settle this, be clear I could fall back seven years
And still ain't no one ahead of me..."
-T.I., I'm Illy, Paper Trail

Aight, so I went and copped Paper Trail. Let me first say that it's pretty good. Tip has a lot to say and the beats are insane. He even sounds hungry as shit on the album. My favorite joint [besides Swagga Like Us] on this one so far is I'm Illy. Tip is going mad hard on this joint. That'swhatshesaid. Check it.


[Note: Paper Trail album review coming soon.]

Music of the Moment - August 23, 2008

Jay-Z is back.

And he brought Kanye with him.

Supposedly this is the first track leaked from Blueprint 3 that's due out later this year. What do I have to do to get a Kanye verse?! Definitely feeling this joint. The shit is hard.

Um, that's also one of the things she said.

Where Were We??

A lot has happened in this last month so let's recap:

-Barack Obama was able to slide past Hillary and recieve the Democratic nomination. Yab.
-The Lakers Kobe ended up losing to the Celtics...and Shaq tried to rap rapped about it.

-R.Kelly got off free as shit. Wtf?? I think my man Human Resource at Start Snitching put it the funniest when he said, "I wonder what would have happened if [Michael] Vick had an underage female Fight Club and R. Kelly was raping dogs?" Classic.

-We snatched up Derrick Rose with the first pick in the draft. I was leaning towards Beasley since we have so many guards but we couldn't really lose with either. Check out this play from his high school days at Simeon. I can't f'ing wait for NBA 2K9.
This is high school, mind you.

-Wayne sold a million+ in the first week. Hot damn. I guess I need to stop hating.
[Note: That's not gonna happen.]

That pretty much brings us up to speed. That wasn't too hard.


...that's what she said.
