LeBron James says get that weak shit outta here. For the record, Kobe is still a better player (and later hit the game winner). Also, I think Carmelo Anthony, and not LeBron, will be Team USA’s second best player. ‘Melo’s mid-range game is just silky smooth, and it translates very well to International ball.

More rock. Next week will be all Pearl Jam, since my bro and I are going to see them headline at Lollapalooza. After that I’ll get into some rap. Probably. Your best bet is to randomize this…
Barry Bonds’ epic (not really) chase of Hank Aaron’s homerun record narrowly nudged out The Trials of Ookie for this spot. Maybe I’ll actually do something I swore I wouldn’t long ago and do a piece on Bonds. Nah. Just leave it alone, Adam, leave it alone.

Bar Refaeli, the latest Miss DiCaprio, is smokin’. Tell me she’s not — I dare your ass. This is one Bar I wouldn’t hesitate to frequent.

I love examining NFL Betting Odds and making my Football Picks against the best out there, but given that it’s still July, I’m kind of screwed. Regardless, I’m ready for some football and will probably be taking more than a few spreads when the season finally arrives. I don’t take preseason action. Never have, never will. I’m thinking of even doing my own straight-up picks/point spread picks vlogcast myself. Kinda like this, I guess, except I’m not nearly as hot (or as ditsy)…
Since everyone is talking about The Simpsons Movie, and doing the obligatory comparison pieces, I’ll spare you. Besides, I’m going to go check it out for myself in a few, so I’ll hit you all up with a review sometime this weekend. Since I’m going to see The Simpsons, which you should be doing as well, here are…
Ten Movies You Shouldn’t See This Weekend Instead of The Simpsons:
I Know Who Killed Me - We really wish you did, Lohan.
Hairspray - Do we know who killed John Travolta? His pride, anyway?
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - I now pronounce this movie about acting gay a movie full of gay acting.
Evan Almighty - More like almighty snoring.
No Reservations -And this is the guy playing Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight?
Who’s Your Caddy? - Big Boi’s big bust.
Transformers - Transform this.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - You know why you’re gay?
Live Free or Die Hard - If you haven’t seen it yet, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Sicko - This is a renter. This is also what to take a girl to if you’re trying not to get laid.
As a Kansas City Chiefs fan, my first instinct was to run around like I just won the lottery when I heard Priest Holmes was making a comeback. Then reality sunk in, and I checked my insanity. A lot can go wrong in the NFL, and it has when it comes to Priest.
Still, even at only 80-90% of what Priest once was, he’s a helluva player. That’s why the Chiefs welcomed him back with open arms. The Chiefs will play him quite a bit, too, even if Larry Johnson re-signs (which I expect him to — eventually). The problem is that Priest hasn’t made it through an entire NFL season since 2003.
Sure, I understand that the Chiefs are going to use him in a lesser role, one that should keep him upright and out of the triage. Still, I will just have to see Priest take punishment and get up before I’m convinced he’s fully recovered. I am, after all, from the Show-Me State.
Fantasy football owners should take the same approach with not only Priest, but both Chiefs running backs. Until Priest dons the Red, White and Gold in the preseason, and looks good doing it, I can’t recommend picking him in the first ten rounds. Sorry.
I hadn’t even heard that The Namesake wasn’t going to be allowed at Titans training camp yet. Chris Mortensen ain’t got jack on Kige Ramsey. As for Pacman Jones, did anyone really expect him to be allowed at training camp?
