New Song From Jay-Z And Drake Leaked
Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 will be released September 11 and this is his song “Off That” featuring our guy Drake that was leaked on the internet. We love this mix, but wish Drake was featured more in the song. Only 19 days until the album of the year is released.
Berto Responds to Ochocinco
We love Chad Ochocinco and expect the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver to have a bounce back season and help the Benglas have one of the best turnarounds in the NFL. Ochocinco gets a bad rap, but he just wrote a check that his a** can’t cash. Ochocinco said when he gets in the ring with [...]
Bombs Over Baghdad is Song of the Decade
In a surprising move, Pitchfork.com named OutKast’s “Bombs Over Baghdad” as the song of the decade. We are big fans of OutKast and this song, but we are surprised that this song was number one on the list. We would have gone with OutKast’s “Hey Ya!” or any Jay-Z song, but this was one song [...]

Shaq played two-hand-touch football against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in [...]
Letterman’s Top 10 on Why Favre Came Back
This wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be, but there were some funny lines. We think David Letterman will have a similar top-ten list next season when Brett Favre changes his mind again.
What We’re Hearing
Had someone in the know tell me that Miami dropped the dime on Bryce Brown becuase of a beef with Brian Butler. More on this later.

Charlie Ward Better Than Tim Tebow?
As sports fans, we get bored and decide to rip the best athletes in the world like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods and Tim Tebow. These four athletes are the best at their sport, but there is always some analyst or fan that will find something in their game to rip. Florida St. coach [...]
