white bread

Everybody say hello to Shorty Whitebread

Shorty Whitebread comes to us from the Baltimore superblog Amadeo Sogni a/k/a The Ladies’ Choice. I’ve asked Shorty to pick up some of the editing chores that Yizzle Tudda had assumed during his stint here at the blog last week.

If you think Shorty might be too young to handle some of the work I will throw at him then think again. Shorty is actually a forty two year old with a thyroid condition and an absolute hankering for Wonder bread.

Now don’t none of you better not say nothing bad about Wonder bread.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Back In The Water…

It’s Shark Week on Discovery Channel until Aug. 3rd!

I remember seeing ‘Jaws’ in the movie theatre eons ago. I remember being so shook that I wasn’t just scared to go into a pool. I was too scared to go to the bathroom at night after the lights were turned off. I don’t think I’m the only person with a healthy fear of sharks either. They are magnificent, terrible animals that have been designed for a singular specific purpose. Without their presence the basic ecological system of the ocean would be sent asunder. But even this perfect biomachine can be destroyed by us.

I love Discovery Channel’s ‘Shark Week’ even more than ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter’. Between the two there is no other reason for owning basic cable. Combine Shark Week with the ‘Planet: Earth’ nature series and you have the greatest documentary ever created about our natural environment. This planet will be changing rapidly from pollution and contamination so I suggest you get in where you fit in because when it’s gone it will be all gone.

I’m fucking with this joint tonight called ‘Perfect Predators‘ which will detail the adaptations that sharks have that make them invincible killers in the ocean. Did you know that Great Whites can breach the water? To see that shit on tape is ridiculous. Can you imagine how fast the shark must have to move in order to go airborne from the water?

For the rest of the week I’m staying in the shallow end of the kiddie pool.

pwned!

The 2007-2008 N.F.L. season will begin without one of the game’s most consistent, yet most underrated superstars suiting up in pads for his twelfth professional year. The New York Jets all-time leading rusher CURTIS MARTIN has hung up his cleats.

CURTIS MARTIN was quietly one of the best rushers in the American Football Conference over the last decade and this conference has featured running backs like EDGERRIN JAMES, JAMAAL LEWIS, SHAUN ALEXANDER and the Black Superman, LaDANIAN TOMLINSON. All of them have to take a back seat to MARTIN’s career stats and his ability to produce wherever he played.

CURTIS MARTIN rushed both the New England Patriots and the New York Jets to an AFC Championship game, but not at the same time because that would be breaking more than records. It would break the time-space continuum or some shit and dinosaurs would come back and spaceships would be landing and I don’t know what else. But if a UFO landed here in New York City it would definitely be coming for CURTIS. He was after all, our “favorite Martian.” (c)CHRIS BERMAN, ESPN

Jets Fans Stand Up!!!
First person to give me CURTIS MARTIN’s playoff rushing yards total gets a FREE officially licensed CURTIS MARTIN football jersey. It’s new with tags (NWT) and it’s a men’s size medium. Like the one pictured here below, except a lot smaller.
