BACK IN A NEW YORK GROOVE…

Ace Frehley (KISS) – ‘New York Groove’*
*DP Fun Fact is that I got this album for my birthday thirty years ago
**DP Dot Com Free Shit goes out to anyone NOT named Dart Adams that can tell me Ace Frehley’s stage name with KISS.

There is so much shit we have to discuss this week. First off, let me say thank you to everyone who sent me their love this week. Your thoughts and prayers brought me and C.S. home safely. NHJIC.

Okay, so my Mets really did shitbag the season didn’t they? If OMAR MINAYA wants to keep his job he better start finding some players that speak english. No more of this latin bullshit. There ain’t nothing good going down in Latin America so these ballplayers better learn to speak some English and real fuckin’ quick. Let’s see how much CARLOS DELGADO likes playing for the San Juan Rooster Legs.

New York City is on hype overload right now. There are too many parties going down with obamas included. The VH-1 Hip-Hop Honors are also taping live tomorrow night. I don’t have RAFI available to help me beauregarde the red carpet press area this year so I am going in a different direction altogether. Stay tuned for what transpires. I promise that it will be funny if nothing else.

The BUSCHE administration bailout plan records a massive fail and we are all still alive. Who knew?

We need to discuss some of this shit…

DP.COM MANNY WATCH…

manny

I hope some of you are feeling the excitement of the upcoming MLB playoffs. I’m sorry that the Mets had to shitbag the last few weeks of the season. They don’t deserve to get into the post-season, but if they do I won’t complain.

The Dodgers should be seeded against Philadelphia for the wildcard round if the Mets get in, but if the Brewers end up winning the wildcard the Dodgers will have to face Sweet Lou’s Cubbies since teams in the same division can’t face each other in the opening round.

I don’t see the Dodgers going too far in the playoffs because the team really isn’t that deep and the few marquee names other than than MANNY are all washed up at this point. I still have to doff my cap for MANNY for revitalizing his career in Los Angeles. Nothing for me would be sweeter than watching Boston go down in flames since they traded the leader of their team.

FELIPE LOPEZ, Where Have You Gone?

Talking about Rice High School reminds me of the days my kid brother went to Holy Cross and FELIPE LOPEZ was NYC’s next All World prodigy. My brother was five years younger than FELIPE, but he was very inspired by dude’s ascent to the top of the mountain after his arrival in the city. FELIPE barely spoke english well enough to conduct an interview yet everyone wanted a piece of his time. Sonn was the American dream on crack. His life was 100mph with no brakes. Is it any wonder there are no more Dominicanos trying to get into the Association?

FELIPE’s travails are spoken in the whispered lilts of his native language. Stick to beisbol young platanos. Don’t get all twisted up like FELIPE did. The real story is that FELIPE is still playing the game he loves and now he can do it without the pressure of expectations that follow a teenager on the front cover of Sports Illustrated. This is why I have the utmost respect for the LeBRON’s, KOBE’s and KEVIN GARNETT’s who were forecasted to be great and they have even exceeded the scouting reports.

felipe

FELIPE still has the lightning first step. Only now he is doing his thing in the Continental Basketball Association instead of the, well, the Association.

felipe

FELIPE’s coach is MICHAEL RAY RICHARDSON who knows a thing or two about falling from the spotlight and having the courage to still stand upright.

felipe

FELIPE still has the hops and playing for the Albany Patroons keeps him close to his base of support here in NYC.

FELIPE’s story is like so many of the kids that the sports industrial complex overwhelms with hype and expectations. I’m glad that he is still living the life he loves with no regrets and no remorse. He is still a legend in the D.R. for sure.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

rice hs

How many prep schools are good enough to have their own signature sneakers? NYC’s Rice high school is that good. Ever since FELIPE LOPEZ appeared on a cover of Sports Illustrated when he was still a prep school phenom Rice High School has been one of the nation’s top factories for young cagers.

This weekend NIKE unveiled the Rice H.S. HyperDunk. I can see NIKE going in for a limited edition shoe for a club team like the Riverside Hawks or even the Bronx Gauchos, but a limited edition shoe for a high school? Then again, the NYC Archdicese is so strapped for cash right now they would prA’li let NIKE post their homoerotic ads in the school rectory [ll].

hyperdunk ad

Biggup to C.S. for reminding me that the HyperDunk ads were at DP Dot Com waaay back when. You bitches at NIKE need to cut that check.

The jury is still out on the HyperDunk shoe since I haven’t bought a pair and everyone I know with the shoe hasn’t worn theirs as yet. I’m interested to see if the new NIKE construction technology is all that. It’s been hyped tremendously but I don’t see the products available on a retail level like that. It could be that the NIKE price point has finally saturated most buyers.

I can’t front and say that I am not feeling the shoes, but I can’t bring myself to shop for these at the House of Hoops store. HOH is owned and operated by Foot Locker, but HOH does not accept Foot Locker’s Friends and Families discount coupons. What kind of bullshit is that?!? If I wanted 30% off the wack ass shoes that Foot Locker carries I would just go to Delancey Street and but that shit at regulack price.

GTFOHOH!

All Day I Dream About Sales…

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

sale

The worst thing we could do as patriots who pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States would be for us to STOP spending our hard earned money just because the wheels are about to fall off the economy.

Can you imagine how much sooner this would have happened if we had been saving our scrilla since Day 1?

Hey, if there’s a Hell below we are all going to go. Some of us will just be fresher than others.

I’m in the market for a pair Adi Dazzlers since I came up on this sick adidas hoody at A.J. Wright for $20 cent. Earlier in the summer I scored an adidas track jacket at A.J.’s for $14.99. I am beasting out before the rest of you fools get up on my spots. This will be one of my freshest autumns since 1988.

Your boy is still crispy, even after all these years.

tennis

After scoring those Rod Lavers for $20 I couldn’t justify bring these home. C.S. is already swamped in my shoeboxes so I have to make this pick count.

oregon

The Oregon is a blatant summer shoe. I need these to go on super sale before I will copp since I can’t see myself rocking these more than twice during the entire season.

paydirt

I play two-hand touch [ll] in Prospect Park on Saturdays. The Saturdays that I don’t wake up in the haze of a post-drunken stupor (read: never).

kingstons

Someone should smack adidas in the mouth for the reckless pandering. The ‘Kingston Superstar’? Really?!?

jesse owens

Shut my mouth up. This is the kind of pandering I can get my feet into. The ‘Jesse Owens’ will go into my deep storage ice box.

zx750

I don’t care what C.S. says, I HAVE to copp these. Navy and gold are like my favorite colors of all time.
