How is this possible? These kicks were released at midnight last night. America reacted in chaos. According to Darren Rovell, these shoes caused the websites for Eastbay, Finish Line, and Foot Locker to crash at some point last night (Nike says their’s did not). People are getting arrested. Twitter rumors are stirring that some kid named Tyreek Amir Jacobs was killed over the shoes… no confirmation if this is just a twitter rumor or real. The shoes cost $180. But if you want to know the real market value for them… check this out… on eBay right now. At the time of this post, there are 18 bidders, with 2 days 18 hours left on this auction and bidding is currently up to $405.00.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin WEST Philadelphia, born and raised… on the playground is where I spent most-a-MY days….
Love me some Fresh Prince of Bel Air. LOVE. So awesome. Aside from Will… my favorites were Geoffrey and Jazz. So where the hell is Geoffrey? No, that’s not him up in the top left. Where’s Jazz?
Haha. Love Jazz.
Yo Homes…smell ya later!

Of course he’s coming back… dude is living the life at USC. Literally walks around campus and students start chanting… “ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!” He’s a 21-year-old god. His celebrity status is almost unparalleled at a school known for producing stud quarterbacks, in a town known for it’s celebrities. He can have any girl he wants at this school…in all of LA for that matter. Enjoy your senior year, Matt…

I swear his neck is like the 8th wonder of the world. I can’t stop staring. I want to look away, I just can’t. Most football players are just normal dudes that get scary looking when they put all their pads on. Takeo Spikes is the opposite… I see him in pads, I see a football player… I see him without pads, I want to grab my blanky, run and sit in a corner while I suck my thumb and cry for mama.

Hmmmmm…SATAN? As a Chargers fan…if this doesn’t sum up the perception of Patriots’ fans… nothing does. I wish I was there when this Pats fan bought this jersey, because I’ve never actually seen somebody purchase a ticket to hell. The framing of the photo is so classic… good vs. evil. Evil hovering over good…darkness trying to overcome the light. The ONLY thing that would’ve made this photo better? If the Tebow fan had this jersey:
Aside from the obvious Jesus vs. Satan comparisons, there are a couple other things to notice about it. How awesome is it when skinny little white kids leave the stickers on the bills of hats? Real awesome. And this Satan guy… I love that he has a Santa Claus hat on…we get it, bro… Jesus is NOT the reason for your Christmas season.

Click to enlarge on the above image. Take some time to look at it. It’s the logos that will be on the NBA practice jerseys, obviously sponsored by Adidas. At first glance, it just looks like they are all the same font… city or state up top, “BASKETBALL” on the bottom. Well, after closer inspection… it’s interesting how different some are. You know tons of time and money are research went into these logos… graphic designers that are smarter than me with logos. Both the team and the NBA had to sign off on them, or had some say, I’m guessing. So it’s interesting to me that some teams went so generic, while some spiced theirs up…set themselves apart, if you will. Dunno why this fascinates me, it just does.
Only two team don’t have BASKETBALL on the bottom, rather their team name: CAVALIERS and TRAIL BLAZERS. I think it’s funny most of the “A”s are tilted one way or the other, yet the “A” in Blazers is straight up. The Jazz have UTAH JAZZ, their full team name, up top…as do the INDIANA PACERS. The MIAMI HEAT did the same, even added their stupid little flame to the “T”. ATLANTA looks neat and symmetrical with their book-end “A”s. The Clippers and Lakers are identical with different colors. The Sixers are the only team with a logo next to their city. The NETS are huge, and I’m sure they chose that instead of New Jersey, you know, a seamless transition to Brooklyn. The one standard in each logo is obviously the NBA logo… and the Adidas logo is the same color as the bottom word on all of them.
Again, dunno why this fascinates me… it just does. Get over it.

Please don’t ever do this, NFL. Seems to be a growing trend… we shall see.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Police arrested a man they say robbed a bank with a glue gun on Monday.
Around 1:40 p.m. Monday, an armed robbery was reported at PNC Bank, 3003 Kentucky Ave. Bank employees said the man displayed what they thought was a gun and told them he had a bomb, while showing them something taped to his leg.
The man got away, but officers from Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force identified him through surveillance video.
Officers tracked down their suspect, Aaron Randolph, in the 3300 block of South Lockburn Street. They found all the money, along with the suspected “firearm” that was used — a glue gun. They also determined Randolph wasn’t armed with a bomb, as bank workers said he threatened.
Randolph was arrested but had not been formally charged as of Tuesday afternoon.
A glue gun!!? Yes! Incredibly innovative. Proud of this guy… I mean if you’re going to be a bad person, at least do it in style. This is trickery at it’s finest. A glue gun and a “bomb” strapped to his leg. My favorite thing to do is imagine the thought process of these jokers.
I’m broke… I’m gonna rob a bank…but I don’t have a gun. Hmmm… what if tape my remote control to my leg? Yeah, that’ll work… that’s my bomb. Now for a gun.. hmmm… I got it! My girlfriend’s glue gun that she uses for arts and crafts time.
I’ve said this a million times before… most recently in my Geezer Bandit post… robbing banks is freaking HARD to do these days. Yet, somehow… these morons just keep robbing banks and getting away with it. Maybe it’s not so hard after all? Like, does the banking industry just pay Hollywood to make movies about bank robbing and how you have to be some insane savant with incredible smarts, skill, precision, luck & planning to even stand a chance at robbing a bank? I know this guy didn’t “get away”, but sounds like he would’ve if he was smart enough to wear a freaking mask. They got him from that crystal clear surveillance shot up top. How dumb are you? Point-Break-robbing-a-bank-101: cover your damn face. Seriously, if this dude just pulls that do-rag over his face instead of wearing it on his head… he’s sitting at home on a bundle of cash with a framed glue gun on the wall.

Well, there’s something Southern California sports fans aren’t used to seeing in the SI NBA power rankings. Clippers are sitting on top of the Lakers. “It’s gonna be Lob City!” Oh, read the Lakers blip up top… to answer the most easily answered question in the history of questions: Lakers fans hate David Stern WAY more than Kupchak.
Also, take note… here’s what good off-season moves do for your projected rankings… you know, ones that weren’t vetoed by a miserable little twerp named David Stern. The Clippers were 32-50 last year, the Lakers were 57-25…put that in last year’s pipe and smoke it. The Clippers are now ranked ahead of the Lakers.
For those of you that didn’t click through, the Top 10 are as follows. 10. Celtics 9. Knicks 8. Grizzlies 7. Lakers 6. Clippers 5. Nuggets 4. Bulls 3. Mavs 2. Thunder 1. Heat
