Clottey, Wussy

shhh, ima take a nap

Its no secret that I’m a die hard Pac fan. The man is a generational talent.

I hadn’t heard of the Ghanian native Josh “Grandmaster” Clottey until his fight with Cotto, and didn’t remember him afterwards. It was a plain jane fight with an early knockdown by Cotto. Now I can’t judge for certain, but it seems to me that it was Clottey’s fight to win. His formula seems to be to shell up and wait for punches; the problem with that being hes a big guy for the welterweight division (5’8″ and a flush 147 lbs). He’s not fast enough to seize opportunities in a divison filled with superstar talent and speed. A taller guy like him with the reach he has (70cm) needs to be more aggressive or else the fights end up yawn inducing.

Which is exactly how Pacquiao-Clottey turned out. I should have known too, luckily I wasn’t paying to see it or I would have been sore. Here’s the fight in a nutshell; Pac-man averaged 100 punches a round, and Clottey averaged an embarassing 25. It wasn’t a fight, it was genocide. I had to agree with Lederman on his card, he and I both had Pacquiao winning every round 120-108. Clottey couldn’t justify his presence in the ring with the boss.

I was listening to JC’s trainer in the preshow talking about how his fighter deserved to be in the spotlight considering his record but I could tell that he knew he was talking out his ass. The truth is Josh is never going to be big over here in the US A, hes just, boring.

Tiger’s outta Rehab

For those of you who’ve decided to pull a Salinger for the past 4 and a half months, you’ve been missing out on the biggest sports scandal that wifeys across America have ever known. Well, missing out isnt the right way to put it, more like missed getting beaten in the head with and having shoved down the throat of the general populace 25/7. So if thats the case i envy you.

For everyone else whos been through what I’ve been through, theres good news. Tiger finished his treatment and is presumably no longer a ‘sex addict’. Apparently Elin is willing to let this one blow over without taking drastic measures. Im happy for it since its the best decision for their kids. I just hope that Tiger learns from this whole experience.

Lesson 1, don’t get caught. Lesson 2, wear a mask next time, and use a throw away phone for “those” texts, I mean come on Tiger you’ve got enough celery to get an iphone for every girl on the planet. Lesson 3, deny, deny deny.

Well Im just glad thats over with. Maybe people will just shut up now.

Google is awesome

Google HQ has to have the highest IQ per capita in the entire world, it has to.

Google makes the 90′s feel like a hundred years ago. They made everything better, including email, video, music, and shopping online (note to Paypal, just go crawl into some hole where you can’t bother anyone, Google checkout embarrasses  you). Google = the internet. But you probably already knew that.

Christian Side-Hug it out

For whatever reason, Satan runs a monopoly on good music. And its been that way in America for the last century. Up until recent, God’s had a no tolerance policy on rock, metal, rap and hip hop. Not anymore.

Jesus got some mad street cred now with rappers like “Apprentiz” and “Witness” spittin ill rhymes about side huggin and forgiveness and the like. Now if you were like me you’d be like “Christian rap music? whaaaaaaat”. And “what the hell is a christian sidehug?”

Well i did a little research and apparently somewhere in the bible it says that crotches can’t come within 6 inches of each other (except in marriage which is like a get out of jail free card). So to avoid committing this egregious sin, you can’t just go straight in for a regular hug like some dirty heathen, you gotta come in from the side with one arm. And don’t think you can get away with no regular hug nonsense either cause if you remember from bible school, Jesus was a carpenter so you know hes got his tape measure out.

Check out these mad raps yo

“gimme that christian sidehug, cuz im a ruff ryda, filled up with christ love, gimme that christian side hug”
catchy right? and lets not forget….

“and I ask for all of you, until you say I do, no front huggin or pda or your jesus time is through but uh, when I hug I leave room for the holy spirit”

Christian rap. Its real.

Watch it here. Warning: its bad

Remember the Happy Gilmore Drive?

The one where Happy takes a running start before wacking the bal 400+ yards? Well the guys over at sport science decided to test it and turns out, it works!

Can’t use it in tournament play though, that is if you live in Canada. The shot’s been banned.

You can still pull it off in America though. Just don’t get drunk and high and end up in the hospital like those Canadian hicks and ruin it for the rest of us.

Spartan Basketball 2009-10

State’s holding a 4-0 record after shutting valparaiso down 90-60 to give Izzo his 340th, a tie with Jud Heathcote for the school record. It also happened to be the night that Jud and Magic were inducted into the hall of fame.

Gonzaga gave them the most trouble so far this year with a 75-71 nail biter, but with talent like Lucas and Summers, I don’t think the spartans have anything to worry about this friday when they go up against an unranked gators team.

In “Coma” for 23 years, conscious the whole time

There was an unbelievable article on UK’s “Telegraph” about a Begian man who was deemed comatose after a tragic car accident over two decades ago. As it turns out, the doctors screwed up the diagnosis; he could hear and see the doctors diagnose his condition, as well as his family mourn him by his bedside without being able to move a single muscle.

He described the day they realized “as if it was my second birth. All that time I just literally dreamed of a better life. Frustration is too small a word to describe what I felt.”

It just makes you think of how many people in the world are living in that kind of nightmare.
