Does Nike Think Lebron Smokes Rocks?

Alright, so I’m figuring that pretty much everyone in the world has seen the new Nike commercial featuring Lebron and a host of others doing his well-known chalk toss in the air. In the ad there is also a song in the background that repeats the lyric, “the Candyman is back.” Aside from the Lil Wayne cameo, I took a certain implication away from this commercial and that implication is where I came up with the Chappelle Show reference. I’m just trying to figure out what Nike was thinking in playing a song with the word “candyman” set to a man throwing white powder into the air like a scene from Scarface. They might as well have played some Andre Nickatina Ayo For Yayo. That’s what came to my mind and I haven’t even watched Blow in like 7 hours. Here’s the commercial followed by the possible Nike implication.

WWE Takes On The Critics

Dec. 12, 2008   1 Comment  

I saw this over on BallHype c/o Mike Hayes from Steady Burn. I guess a tech critic gave the new WWE social network site a bad review so the Miz (from Real World) and John Morrison decided to take the matter into their own hands. They continue to make fun of the critic Eric Schonfeld the best way they new how, call him Schlongfeld. This is one more reason I love the WWE.

Wikipedia Hates Dave Littlefield

Dec. 10, 2008   Leave a Comment  

I was notified of this revelation through a Facebook wall post and I appreciate it. Here is an excerpt from the Wikipedia page for former Pirates GM, Dave Littlefield. I read through the entire page before coming across a moment of sheer brilliance. Check out the last line of the entry and you can see it states, “Currently, Littlefield has been seen living under the Roberto Clemente Bridge, occasionally rising to the surface to play the saxophone and beg for spare change.” I know that this happens all the time on wikipedia and this will probably be changed, but the fact that someone took the time to belittle a former Pirates GM should not go overlooked. Not to mention his jab that was able to incorporate a little local flavor.

Next Great Sports Movie: The Wrestler

Dec. 3, 2008   1 Comment  

I heard about this movie a while ago, but the trailer is finally out and it is living up to expectations and creating a ton of hype. It comes out 12/17 and stars Mickey Rourke as a retired wrestler making a comeback. Also, it’s directed by the same guy who did Requiem for a Dream, so you know the probable steroid scenes are going to be sick. The main thing I’m looking forward to though, is Marisa Tomei playing a stripper, but you also can’t overlook the Bruce Springsteen song written for the movie (plays during the trailer). I think this is the next great sports movie and hopefully creates some wrestling fans, because their is too much craziness in that industry that goes un-ridiculed.

Sean Avery Single Handedly Making Hockey Worthwhile

Dec. 3, 2008   1 Comment  

Sean Avery goes from working for Vogue in the off-season to ripping on two former exes (Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter) who are both unreal. Personality is what hockey is lacking and they are in desperate need of more guys who don’t live their lives like Nick Swardson in Grandma’s Boy. The comment is classic and I can’t wait til he gets a tv gig somewhere.

Oh, and here are some pictures of those exes.
