Music of the Moment - December 8, 2009

Found this video for #musicmonday yesterday and it's from the band Coconut Records. I know the name sounds kinda weird, but they're a pretty straightforward band. One interesting fact about the band is that they're lead by actor Jason Schwartzman from Funny People and I ♥ Huckabees. The first of the videos isnt' an official video, but it's a collection of clips set to the band's song Nighttiming from their 2007 album of the same name. The second is the video for their single Microphone from their album Davy, released earlier this year. Check em out:
Nighttiming

Microphone

See, not all actors are bad musicians...and vice versa.

asamp was...uh...MISINFORMED

So I guess Tebow IS human. And the only reason I have a picture of him for this post and not a jubilant Alabama team is because I REFUSE to put any pictures of Bama celebrating on my blog.

I refuse.

But even with that, good luck to the Tide. SEC superiority all day.


Oh yeah, and Ingram for Heisman. Early.

Finally. Florida vs. Bama

So yeah, I can't be the only person treating this game like the true National Championship. The SEC Championship is being played today at here in Atlanta with #1 Florida playing #2 Alabama. It's pretty hard to predict this one, but I'm going with Florida. Even without dumb ass Carlos Dunlap I think that Florida's D will be too much. McElroy hasn't really been tested on a stage like this, while Tebow has done this pretty much every year he's played. Mark Ingram's health could be an issue for Bama even though reports say he's going to play. Plus, Trent Richardson's not a bum either. I also feel like the matchup between Julio Jones and Joe Haden will be big also. But like I said, Saban and all, the Tide just won't have enough to beat Florida.

Sorry Bama fans.

But hey, at least you can sit back and imagine this actually happened...

That would have been nasty.

Aight Lebron...

...maybe you are nice at football, but a full court heave with a...football???? Shout to @Bdotlaw for the video.

Py-yow.

Rams, Raiders? You watchin??

Ron-Ron Luvs Tha Henny // Tiger Woods Apologizes

Ron Artest is a wild dude.

He recently admitted that he used to drink Hennessy at halftime of basketball games during his time with the Bulls. Well damn. I don't know whether to be upset or to applaud the sheer ability to drink a hard alcohol at halftime and then finish out a game. But at the same time I'm kind of mad because this might explain his mediocre play in Chicago which lead to us trading him after just a little over two years. Ron-Ron must have been on that Keon Clark "never play a game sober" tip. He even said that when Ben Wallace comes around, he stays on guard and is still in the mood to fight him. I don't really care though. Ron Artest is one of my favorite athletes [Yes I said it] and not only because we share a birthday. He's a good entertainer, man. Can't rap to save his life though.

[Note: Shouts to @jayredg for the heads up.]


Now, on to Tiger.

I know he cheated and all, but still. It's never fair for the media and the sports community to come down on a person so tough. He admitted he was wrong, asked for forgiveness and also asked that we move on. Can we please?? One thing that I will say about the Tiger situation is that, right or wrong, he made a solid point. In his statement on TigerWoods.com he said,

"No matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy....Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions."

No matter which side of the scandal you're on, you have to agree with that.

Did Tiger cheat? Yes. Was he wrong? Yes.

Should the worldwide media have a field day with it? No.

[Note: I don't wanna hear anything when Tiger starts bussin ass next year on the tour. Hold your head, Tiger.]

The Dumb Athlete of the Week Award Goes To...

Carlos Dunlap.

Yes, you, Carlos Dunlap.

You have been awarded the first ever Dumb Athlete of the Week Award for receiving a DUI this morning after being found passed out at a stoplight at the wheel of your Chrysler. Not only were you arrested... but FOUR DAYS before the National SEC Championship?? #comeonson And Carlos, we all know you're not a bum on the field. I mean, you were the Defensive MVP of the National Championship last year! Yikes. The University of Florida hasn't said whether or not you'll be suspended for the game, but it's pretty likely. Not only that, but it also shows poor judgement in the eyes of NFL scouts. You can't be serious, man. I have nothing else to say.

Mr. Dunlap, you, are the Dumb Athlete of the Week.
