Pick 'Em: Choose NFL's Divisional Round Winners Based On City's Best Bands

Posted 1/10/13 5:00 pm EST by in Hip-hop, Music, Sports, Video

Sure we could consider Vegas's lines, previous matchups, analysis by FootballOutsiders, Bill Barnwell, Peter King, or pray to Paul the Olympics Octopus ...but we decided to leave the oddsmaking to the oddsmakers and instead compare the music from cities competing in the Divisional Round this weekend.

In some cases, we had to weigh different scenes: Seattle's grunge rock versus Atlanta's hip-hop, but try to put your preferences aside and compare the overall impact of bands/artists as a whole. (How's that working out for you?). We've got an awesome "anthem" match-up between Baltimore and Denver, and avoided a major mismatch between San Francisco heavyweights and Green Bay wedding bands, thanks to our adoption of a Milwaukee troupe. Without further adieu... Atlanta versus Seattle after the jump.

'Driverless Car' Horrifies, Confuses Drive-Thru Workers

Posted 1/9/13 6:00 pm EST by in Funny, Video


Photo: YouTube

Rahat the Magician Prankster is operating the vehicle pictured above, only you can't see him. That's because he's wearing a costume driver's seat ... in the driver's seat. Non-magician pranksters and a**holes frequently victimize workers at fast food drive thru windows -- easy targets -- but Rahat manages to entertain and evoke some great reactions without causing harm. After ordering at the menu board thingy, he drives the empty car around to windows, prompting workers to exclaim:

"Oh my God!"

"Am I trippin' son?"

"Really?!"

One girl shouts, "Instagram that joint!" Congratulations, Instagram: You've become a verb. Enjoy the show.

15 Best (And Funniest) Fan Tribute Songs To Athletes

Posted 1/9/13 12:00 pm EST by in Funny, Sports, Video


Photos: YouTube

Kudos to musician Mat Kearney who got his wish for Chip Kelly to return to coach his beloved Oregon Ducks, even though Kearney's tribute song "Chip Don't Go" probably had zero to do with Chip's decision to eschew the NFL to return to Eugene. That assumes of course that Kelly isn't a die hard Kearney fan, but the coach strikes us a Metalcore guy.

Kearney's solid, well-informed tune got us all warm and fuzzy thinking about previous fan tributes -- by professionals, punks, suburbanites and heartbroken middle-aged old men. Sports captivates all of us, but only special few feel moved to put their passion to music. By the way, we're not talking about videos with mere images or video edited to a popular track (with one exception), but tributes using parody, original songs and the like. Some are damn good, others simply ridiculous, all have our stamp of approval. Check 'em out below in no particular order, beginning with Kearney's.

Today's Badass: Chinese Girl In Knee-High Boots Crescent Kicks Scissors From Suicidal Woman's Hand

Posted 1/8/13 3:30 pm EST by in Today's Badass, Video

Well there's a headline you don't read every year. The incident occurred in Guangzhou, China on Sunday when a distressed woman intent on committing suicide in the street began screaming and waving a pair of scissors before a crowd of passerby.

For the next phase of the story, we're going to turn it over to LiveLeak, which used Google to (attempt to) translate the local news report.

With more and more people crowd, Hei Yinv emotions more and more excited, he began a sprinkle banknotes into heaven. Help to pick up the bill to a few girls at an age less than 20-year-old girl suddenly the crowd out.

Li said that she looks younger than 20 years old, wearing boots with shorts in the cold, exposed legs suck very eyes.

"Sprinkle banknotes into heaven" is a bit wordier than "make it rain" but keep it in mind if you're looking for a more exotic phrase. Anyhow, the young girl wearing knee-highs and a short, possibly leather skirt, emerged from the crowd, determined the disarm the crazed woman whose hands were bleeding. Her next move took some serious cojones and was a great service to the others on the street, especially considering the recent spate of knife attacks that's plagued China. Those of you with visions of valor in such grave situations, go eat your heart out. Or suck very eyes. Whatever.

Breaking Babe: AJ McCarron's Girlfriend, Katherine Webb

Posted 1/8/13 2:30 pm EST by in Ladies, News, Sports, Video


Photo: ESPN

Alabama's 42-14 shellacking of Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game last night suggests a contest when it was actually a merciless beat down. The broadcast had everything but an entertaining football game (unless you're a Crimson fan): Bama left guard Chance Warmack's large, exposed belly (which you can follow on Twitter for updates), comical Irish tackling, a spirited shoving match between Alabama center Barrett Jones and quarterback AJ McCarron, and oh yeah, Brent Musburger drooling over the McCarron's ridiculously hot and relatively new girlfriend, Katherine Webb, who also happens to be Miss Alabama 2012. Take it away, Brent, before a national television audience of about 16 million:

"You see that lovely lady there. That's AJ McCarron's girlfriend  ... Wow, I'm telling you. You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. Honest. What a beautiful woman." ... Whoa! So if you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting a football out and throw it around with pops."

The transcript doesn't do the ogling justice, which even ESPN had to acknowledge, writing that the announcer piled on the compliments. Musburger is right, by the way: the 23-year-old model is very, very, very, pleasing to the eye. It's just that Musburger is 50 years her senior, sounded really creepy and took it a bit too far. We're pretty sure he also stained his underwear in the process. Watch the scene, then enjoy some private, more socially acceptable Webb admiring after the jump.

Wiz Khalifa Says 'Wear Your Seatbelt,' While Getting Busted For Not Wearing One

Posted 1/8/13 10:00 am EST by in Celebs, Code Breakers, Hip-hop, Video


Photo: Getty Images

Guy Code can really be summed up as, "Don't be an idiot." It's breaking Guy Code when you do idiotic things, like not wearing your seat-beat in a sports car.

Do as Wiz Khalifa says, not as he did in his Porsche 911 Carrera S. A cop pulled over the O.N.I.F.C. for failing to wear a seat belt and wrote him up even though he recognized him, proving once again that no one is above the law -- not Wesley Snipes, Steven Seagal or rappers who commit traffic violations in California.

A TMZ photographer who sounds like a fan captured the scene as a subdued, sober Wiz warns, "Make sure you guys wear your seat belt." To be clear: He's right. Don't be a cocky dumbass who's too cool to strap on a belt. That plan works well until you get rear ended by someone text messaging and end up eating your windshield, or pavement.

"He's a good dude," the TMZ photographer tells the cop in the video.

"I know! I recognized him," the cop responds. "But safety, safety."

Watch the scene, if only to admire Wiz's wheels.

University Of Arizona Offers New Hip-Hop Cultures Minor

Posted 1/7/13 5:00 pm EST by in Hip-hop, News


Photos: MTV; Monica Morgan/WireImage

The University of Arizona sees other colleges with classes on elements of hip-hop and raises a minor in Africana studies with a concentration in hip-hop cultures.  "[The university] breaks borders in astronomy and we break borders in hip-hop now," Arizona professor Alain-Philippe Durand told the L.A. Times. You're damn right. Mandatory courses to complete the course of study include "Rap, Culture, and God" and "Hip-Hop Cinema."

According to the course description:

[The concentration] provides students with a solid introduction and broad understanding of the origins and developing of the forms of expression that make up hip-hop cultures throughout the world: hip-hop dance, rap music, graffiti/tagging, fashion, business, and film. The Minor introduces students to the main themes represented in hip-hop cultures: appropriation and defense of spaces, mixing of different cultures, migrations, multilingualism, race, class, gender, religions, sexuality, nationality, politics and the economy, and, the search for identity.

Suffice to say, it's no gimmick or attempt at cool. The course description closes: "Our view of hip-hop cultures goes beyond the stereotypical gangster and drug cultures to incorporate this expressive medium's relationships and presences across different academic disciplines such as music, dance, language, religion, gender, culture, history, politics, marketing, fashion, management as well as film, radio, TV and performance studies."

Good on Arizona for embracing hip-hop as a lens to examine America. It's bound to be a popular selection among students. We look forward to reading Rap, Culture, and God term papers such as "Eminem Born Again: From 8 Mile to Baby Jesus."

Guys, Be Careful Where You Donate Your Sperm!

Posted 1/3/13 5:00 pm EST by in News


Photo: Getty Images

Today's Guy Code Blog public service announcement centers on a harrowing tale about a sperm donation gone wrong that recently came to a head.

Back in 2009, a 43-year-old Topeka, Kansas mechanic and father of foster and adopted children, William Marotta, responded responded to a Craigslist ad from a lesbian couple offering $50 for a semen donation. Marotta decided to give his swimmers away for free, and one of the women carried a baby girl after being artificially inseminated. Marotta and the couple agreed that he would have no parental rights or responsibilities to the child.

Fast forward to present: the women fell on some hard financial times and requested Medicaid assistance through the State of Kansas Department for Children and Families, which has claimed that Marotta is in fact the father (based on a technicality concerning the insemination procedure), and thus liable for the three-year-old girl's child support.

"In the long run, I think this will be a good thing, but I’m the one getting squashed," Marotta said of the battle about his obligations to pay support, which the women don't want him to have pay. "I can’t even believe it's gone this far at this point, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it."

Poor Marotta is now bleeding money-- an estimated 10% of his annual income already--to defend himself against the state; his wife can forget about any pearl necklaces or facials this year. The case has become a lightning rod for criticism about treatment of same-sex couples.

But back to your semen. Fellas, if you're going to make a deposit to grab a load of cash, learn the laws of your state concerning donations to a sperm bank or via private agreement. Carry on.

Ray Lewis: Big Hits And Badass Moments From A Hall-of-Fame Career

Posted 1/3/13 2:00 pm EST by in News, Sports


Photo: Patrick Smith/Getty Images

So this is it for Ray Lewis. One of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, Lewis announced Wednesday that he'll be hanging up his cleats at the end of this season, his seventeenth in the league, after "one last ride" with the Baltimore Ravens this postseason.

We'll skip the recap of his never-ending list of accolades; the Ray Lewis legacy is about intangibles -- passion and desire. Also, fear. Lewis scared the s*** out of players, sometimes those on his own team. A self-proclaimed Natural Born Leader, Lewis was also an accused killer in 2000. Though he was never convicted and pleaded guilty only to obstruction of justice, he's had to make peace with the stain.

Ravens teammate Ray Rice said he can't picture Baltimore without Ray Lewis, but Lewis may be back soon with a microphone: SI.com's Richard Deitch reports that Lewis is close to signing a multi-year deal with ESPN where he's "expected to have a significant role on the network's Monday Night Countdown program." Mark Schlereth and his stern talks will have to make way for Ray Lewis's intense, rip-your-head-off, greatness or bust sessions.

Video of big hits from the pre-YouTube part of his career are more evasive, so we focus below on the more recent yet equally brutal Ray Lewis collisions. Here's a good starting place:

Jamie Kennedy Hosts Most Awful/Amazing New Year's Eve Broadcast

Posted 1/3/13 1:00 pm EST by in Funny, Video


Photo: YouTube/KDOC

If you like watching live broadcast train-wrecks then, wow, do we have a treat for you. Correspondingly, if you thought Jamie Kennedy's career had hit an all-time low with "Son of the Mask," you were wrong. Los Angeles television station KDOC experimented with a live "First Night" New Year's Eve broadcast Monday night that suffered from production snafus, rampant expletives and lewd content, among other things.

The Hollywood-based show featured an all-star cast from 1999, with a Shannon Elizabeth appearance (onscreen for literally one second) and performances by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and a very wobbly Macy Gray. Actually, Kennedy might have been the least of KDOC's many problems, although his proposed corollary to the adage, "Once you go black, you never go back," might draw the network some eyes from the Federal Communications Commission. The broadcast mercifully ends the only way it could: With a fight followed by complete silence over the closing credits.

This video will be the best six minutes of your day. And needless to say: LANGUAGE NOT SAFE FOR WORK/CHILDREN/PRUDES.
