Roll Tide, Indeed

well Fuck! Alabama lands the #1 recruting class in the nation (that doesn't count as a national title, Tide fans). that Nick Saban guy might have a future just yet. Notre Dame finishes number 2 and Florida rolls in at number 3. Auburn finds themselves dropping all the way to 20, no thanks to Enrique Davis who will be playing for Houston Nutt and Ole' Miss. Such mighty powerhouses as Minnesotta, Texas A&M, and Colorado beat the Tigers. all of this means fuck all really, the kids can either play or they can't. but you gotta feel like Alabama is definently back, as a Tiger fan let's hope all those 4 and 5 stars also come with serious baggage, discipline problems, and the desire to transfer suddenly and without warning.

if you can't beat 'em on the field, then beat 'em off it

Alabama is currently CRUSHING Auburn today in recruiting. Bama just landed Mr. Everything Wide Receiver and "Next Calvin Johnson" Julio Jones. let's hope he doesn't live up to all that hype. Auburn better make it 7 in a row this year and then hope Saban gets tired of this Alabama shit and splits town, because anymore recruiting smackdowns like this and Auburn might be on the end of some losing streaks of their own.

some BAMA fan made a top prospects youtube video. enjoy your future MB.

Signing Day Insanity

the college football universe is waiting with baited breath at the decisions of highschool seniors on what teams they will be letting down after coming in with insane hype and more stars than the milky way. Uber-Recruit Terrell Pryor is most likely not gonna make a commitment today, as he has not yet had his fill or booze and pussy being shoved in his face. the biggest pieces today will be Julio Jones and Darrell Scott...although don't be surprised if everybody just signs with USC at the last second. Pete Carroll stock piles 5 star recruits like your average Montana militia stockpiles weapons for the coming race wars.

Berman Going Apeshit

everyone and their mom has seen this. but i just like to watch it on a daily basis, so i'm reposting it here for quick reference.

Final Countdown to Motherfucking Signing Day

it's the day before the most important day of the college football year, besides rivalry weekend and New Years. where's Terrell Pryor going? is Julio Jones sticking with Bama? is Florida gonna end up with the number one recruiting class again? will Auburn be able to lure back Enrique Davis? so many questions. and apparently there is some voting going on today as well. just thought you might wanna know.

Carl sums it up

How Many Kids Who Were Born In New York Today Do You Think Are Being Named Tyree?

after making one of the top 5 greatest cathes in NFL History, David Tyree went from random ass wide receiver on the Giants squad to Legend with one play. it must be pretty awesome to be him right now. i hope Eli bought him a fucking pony after last night.

Eli!!!! Holy Fucking Shit!

if i never watched another football game again for the rest of my life, i'm not sure i'd see one as fucking amazing as this one. (okay that's totally bullshit because the USC/Texas National Title was the best game ever) but seriously, what can you even say? that play Eli made where he escaped the sack and threw a completion to David Tyree might be the most amazing play i have ever seen in a game in my whole life.

The Patriots continue the tradition set by the '05 USC Trojans of being named the greatest team of all time by ESPN before the championship game and then getting beaten. 18-1 has gotta fucking sting like hell for a team with such a fucking huge ego. honestly i had zero rooting interest in this game. i hate the Giants under most any other circumstance, but you gotta root for Eli against THE ROAD TO PERFECTION. The Patriots go down as the team that choked. Brady loses some of his shine. Amazing. Awesome. Best Super Bowl ever. Holy Fucking Shit!

oh yeah...Bill Belichick is a classless douchebag. Eat a Dick you charmless asshole. Karma is a bitch, motherfucker!

ELI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's so Super About The Super Bowl?

ugggh the Fox coverage of this Superbowl is beyond annoying. we've got Ryan Seacrest doing some kind of red carpet bullshit, we've got alicia keys in snow leopard pants with back up dancers. Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta are here, and no not for a Pulp Fiction reunion. if i see another fucking Jumper promo then i am gonna go jum off my roof. getting excited about the Super Bowl commercials is quiet possibly the lamest thing possible. i'm already sick of this game and it's still an hour away. fuck this shit.

the kids don't stand a chance

the Super Bowl is tomorrow, and nobody cares...except ESPN, Patriots fans, and a few New Yorkers who have false hope that the Giants could win. what an afterthought to a pretty lousy year of football. if anything the anticlimax of both and NFL and College post-seasons has reminded me that i used to have other interests namely movies and music. and so with the Oscar's rushing down upon us i have decided to post my top 10 movies of 2007.

1. No Country For Old Men- bleak as fuck. unrelenting. violent. best movie villian since Darth Vader. the Cohen’s are at the top of their game. this better win best picture.

2. Control- the best musical biopic ever. looks amazing. wonderfully acted. emotional. reminded me why Joy Division is one of my favorite bands of all time.

3. There Will Be Blood- Daniel Day Lewis gives the best acting performance of the year. it seems obvious that he’ll be walking away with the best actor Oscar. Paul Dano is great as the creepy preacher. and PT Anderson makes Oil and Religion at the turn of the century into some interesting ass shit to watch on film.

4. The Darjeeling Limited- Wes Anderson has been making the same movie over and over again. he’s basically become the new Woody Allen. great soundtrack. Adrian Brody is the man. plus Natalie Portman’s ass. what’s not to love?

5. Zodiac- i love serial killer movies when they are done well and despite the fact that you KNOW they aren’t gonna catch the killer this still ended up being the best suspense movie of the year. too bad it came out back at the beginning of the summer and got completely forgotten during awards season.

6. Knocked Up/Superbad- i hate to lump these together, but they really are kindred spirits…and not just because it was the year of Jud. these movies are both basically about the same thing. growing up fucking sucks, but it sure as shit can be made funny with enough dick and fart jokes.

7. Juno- i’ll go ahead and call it the worlds first twee pop movie. it was so fucking precious that Kindercore shoulda put out the goddamn soundtrack. Dan and Ryan, you guys fucked up. i thought it was cute and funny and not at all worthy of all these Oscar nominations it’s getting. we’ll call it the Little Miss Sunshine effect. i fully expect a cute little feel good indie to get nominated the next few years until the genre is tired and old. it’s actually kind of funny to me that the only movie nominated for best picture this year that isn’t bleak as hell is the little indie movie. i guess the times are a changin’.

8. Grindhouse- the most fun i had at a movie all year. the fact that it bombed proves how fucking stupid everyone has gotten in America. the fact that these were broken up into two seperate movies for DVD and without the fake trailers is a crime against movie fans.

9. Hotfuzz- lampoons and also pays homage to one of the greatest genre’s of all time, the buddycop movie and ends up being a pretty awesome movie all the same.

10. 30 Days of Night- best vampire movie since Lost Boys. gory as fuck. totally ruled.

honorable mentions- Wristcutters: A Love Story, 3:10 to Yuma, Eagle vs Shark, and Sunshine (best Sci-Fi movie of the year)

Party On Dude

Super Bowl Sunday is nearly here. i'll be gettin' my drank and my eat on with the Bamarealist and his guests, running sidebets with Kenny, listening to jeff's dick jokes, and hopefully enjoying a close football game. since i don't give a fuck who actually wins i've decided to play a game of chance. if the Giants win the Super Bowl then i am shaving off my beard. also i am giving up fast food for 2 months. other than that i really could give a shit. my predicition, Patriots 38 Giants 20. Brady MVP with 3 touchdowns, 1 to Moss, 2 to Welker. perfect season. greatest team ever. blah blah blah

Superbowl Sunday = Super Monday Hangover

when are they gonna just move to Superbowl to a Saturday? College football doesn't play the National Title game on a Saturday, so why is the NFL so hungup on keeping the Superbowl on Sunday? it's fucking stupid and cuts American productivity in half on the Monday afterwards. blah blah blah, this argument has been made a thousand times and will be made a thousand more. i'll just be glad when this NFL season is behind us. after the Pats finish off this perfect run on Sunday then i can look forward to something i actually care about. the Draft. the lack of posts on this site are directly linked to the fact that i don't care who wins the Superbowl and i'm just sitting around waiting for National signing day so i can speculate on Auburn's incoming class. anyways, enjoy this song about getting high with dinosaurs.

There's no such thing as the Northeast media bias

no, it's all a myth created by the little people not lucky enough to live in the cities of Boston or New York. that being said ESPN interrupted nearly every story they were doing on Sportscenter to let us all know that Johan Santana was being traded to the Mets. i'm sure they would have given just as much coverage if Santana had been traded to the Mariners. i'm sure.

that being said, the Braves are fucked. The Mets just got that best pitcher in baseball and all the Braves did was add an ancient pitcher (Tom Glavine) and a washed up catcher (Javy Lopez) who are passed their prime and are getting a second chance with the Braves mostly because they were fan favorites. that money could have probably been better spent. oh well. i don't care about baseball anymore anyways.

football withdrawl

it's still nearly a week to the Superbowl and it's a superbowl that i could largely give a fuck about, National signing day is still a few weeks away and i' starting to pray openly for a time machine or a worm hole that will open a portal into next August. how did i become that dude? the guy who obsesses about recruiting and buys every single preseason magazine and subscribes to college football podcasts and spends more time studying the spread option than he ever did any subjects in school? i used to be into shit like movies and music and shit like that. now i'm like a crazed old man living in a shack doing blood rituals to help Auburn's production in the redzone improve. i used to have a life. now it's gone. only 7 months till next season.

superbowl week is the most boring week of the year

this is Lula, don't be fooled by that sweet face...she's a vicious beast bent on the destruction on all of my socks and/or underwear..she also is picking the Giants to upset the Patriots in the superbowl. she's a risk taker. what can i say?

Hot Senior Bowl Action

things are gearing up for my second favorite time of the year, NFL Draft season. the Senior Bowl this weekend gathers together the best senior players around the nation (except for the ones who are too big of pussies to be involved, I'm looking at you Brian Brohm, Matt Ryan, Glenn Dorsey, and Quentin Groves) to play a game of football that's really just an exercise in helping or hurting each other's draft stock.

it makes sense to me that if you are a projected top 5 pick then you are better off just sitting this one out and waiting for the NFL combine. but honestly as a fan of football I'd like to see the best players actually play. even if it's just a useless scrimmage game to help kids become millionaires.

this year actually is a pretty weak crop of seniors, with the majority of the excellent skill position players being juniors, but we will get a chance to get a look at a bunch of USC players (9 of them actually. Holy Fuck!) and some of the QBs including Chad Henne, Colt Brennan, Andre Woodson, John David Booty, and Eric Ainge (my sleeper pick of the 2008 QB crop)...in other words the future of the Atlanta Falcons will probably be throwing some picks in this game and it's always fun to get a look at your team's future salary cap killer now while he's still a loveable kid who tons of potential.

here's a list of both the North and South's rosters.

if i'd only been 6 inches taller i coulda been a football player

...instead i spent my teen years listening to rock music, growing my hair long, and trying to figure out different skills that i could attain that would help me get laid. Rock band singer might have been my most/least successful endeavor...look there's even youtube videos to prove it.

okay blah blah, enough self promoting of shit i did 4 years ago, let's talk about what i have been doing lately...okay, sadly the answer to that question is nothing, especially with college football being over and done with. mostly it's been allot of getting home from work and watching ESPN classic, hoping to catch a college football game of yore. unfortunately i am often greeted by poker, bowling, or classic boxing...three things i could 100% do without...which got me thinking, why doesn't ESPN or some other enterprising network come up with a channel that shows nothing but classic college football games. honestly i could spend hours just watching games of Auburn teams from the 1980s when noone could throw a pass and the whole offense was built around "Run Bo Run!" and i'm sure other fans would totally agree. someone should get on that, and soon. blah, this was a completely pointless post meant to take up 10 minutes of my time at work.

Eli? Superbowl? REALLY?!?!?!?!

for serious dude, Eli Manning is going to the fucking Superbowl after beating Favre in Greenbay in Arctic conditions....you could really say Favre beat himself with a pick in overtime, but that oversimplifies the whole thing. really all you need to know is Eli is going to the Superbowl. Eli!!! Eli??? Eli!!! oh yeah the New York media can now officially shut the fuck up. and Tiki can go suck a dick.

the Giants have no chance against the Patriots. i don't give a shit what they did in the final week of the season, that was at home, this is gonna be in nice warm weather with the PATRIOTS having had two weeks to prepare for a team they already beat once. i'm guessing it's a blowout on the level of that 49ers/Broncos Superbowl. but still, Eli is in the Superbowl and your team's shitty overrated QB isn't.

My First and LAST Chess Post...EVER

The search for Bobby Fischer has ended friends...and looks like he's dead. i know nothing about chess, but i really liked that movie when it came out. Bobby Fischer beat the Russians, so that means he goes up there with Rocky and the Patrick Swayze lead Wolverines in the pantheon of great Americans. Fischer died in a Reykjavik hospital on Thursday of kidney failure. poor a 40 out for your brother while you are drinking and celebrating your freedom tonight fool.

a week with nothing to write about

it's been too busy in the land of justin, what with all the art house movies and 500 dollar vacuum cleaners currently taking up time in my life. many thoughts on juniors declaring themselves for the NFL draft and what sort of bust level each of them has is coming shortly. saw Control again last night. if you forgot how much Joy Division ruled cuz you got burnt out on all of the Interpol/Stills/She Wants Revenge clones then you should probably bust your copy of Unknown Pleasures out today and give her a good listen. it's in the top 5 greatest debut albums of all time.
