Welcome to a little something called FULL CIRCLE where
I’ll give you a review of everything that happened this week in sports.
Note: From here on, the Friday Jam is strictly old-school Hip-Hop.
MONDAY
-The nation celebrated the life & legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to
the joy of many. Meanwhile, the nation’s capital celebrated the second-term inauguration of President Barack
Obama to the dismay and anger of well, people of don’t like Obama.
It is the policy of the WST blog to stay as far away from
politics as possible as people tend to lose their damn minds when
politics are brought up.
However there is one matter of the President’s inauguration coverage...
Dammit George Stephanopoulos! Aren’t you’re from Massachusetts?
Doesn’t Bill Russell have a damn Celtics cap with his number on it? Do you see him Driving Miss Daisy?
I forgive you though George, I can sometimes confuse white
people. In fact I still think Dr.
Phil and Jeffrey Tambor are the same person.
-The
Chicago Bulls Defeated the L.A. Lakers 95-83 behind Kirk Hinrich’s 22
points. According to Yahoo!
Basketball Writer, Adrian Wojnarowski, following the loss, Kobe Bryant stayed in the locker room as all teammates and coaches left. In fact Bryant was sitting by himself well past midnight and still in his uniform as
locker room attendants cleaned up.
He was probably trying to figure out how the hell KIRK HINRICH dropped 22 points on them.
TUESDAY
-Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Jerry
Rice agreed with former Oakland Raiders teammate Tim Brown’s belief that
then-coach; Bill Callahan intentionally sabotaged the team to lose their Super
Bowl XXXVII match-up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A game won by the Bucs
48-21.
Both believe
Callahan, currently Offensive Coordinator of the Cowboys, changed the game plan
two days before the game from a ground-based attack to a pass-oriented offense with
intent to throw the ball up to 60 times because he did not like the
organization or it’s players
Bill Callahan is an awful coach. I have two-dozen Nebraska
Cornhusker fans on speed-dial who could confirm that (27-22 in four
seasons). However, are two of the
greatest WRs to play the game really complaining about being thrown the ball
TOO much?
-NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean
Payton would be reinstated effective-immediately following a season-long
suspension for his involvement in the team’s bounty scandal.
While citizens of the city surely were happy with the news,
it’s safe to say they are still not pleased with the commish…
That would be a float from the New Orleans Krewe du Vieux parade
and it’s exactly what it looks like. Goodell being swallowed by a large…well…I
mean I think it’s…yeah it is.
WEDNESDAY
-By
my own admission, the WST is not known as a big Tennis connoisseur, so someone
please tell me where the hell did Sloane “Peterson” Stephens come from?!
The 19-year old defeated star Serena Williams in three
straight sets in the Australian Open quarterfinals. 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.
Stephens’s victory was more surprising than me discussing
tennis as Williams crushed her three weeks earlier in Brisbane. In Serena's defense, she was hobbled by
ankle and back injuries during the match.
Nevertheless the moral of the story is don't dick around
shooting iPhone commercials and playing ping-pong with your sister because the
young guns are hungry.
-NFL
draft bust and former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell has announced that he
will be attempting a comeback and working out at a Florida Football
Academy. If you recall, Russell burned through a $31.5 million contract and is
now 308 pounds thanks to a steady diet of purple drank and more fried food than the Kentucky state fair.
Someone should tell him throwing the ball around the parking
lot of a Tampa-area Ponderosa Steakhouse is not a Football Academy
The last time
this guy called an audible was when he switched from the Taco Bell drive-thru to a Jack In the Box next door.
-Finally,
ESPN dedicated an entire episode of Outside The Lines to revisiting the aftermath of that whole double-homicide
thing Ray Lewis was involved in 13-years ago.
They’re set to hire Ray the minute after next Sunday’s Super
Bowl. Little awkward? I guess if
anyone can call you out, it’s the guys cutting those checks right?
I know Ray’s got to be like “Why you bringing up old
shit?”
THURSDAY
-Last week on Full Circle, I summarized Lance Armstrong’s much-hyped interview
with Oprah in about a sentence. This week, I’ll do the same for Manti Te’os
much-hyped interview with Katie Couric.
He says he’s not gay and he’s sorry he lied to mommy and
daddy.
This thing is reaching the “Fat kid trying to climb a gym
class rope” level of amusement.
-The
New Orleans Hornets unveiled their new team name and color scheme beginning in the 2013-2014 NBA season:
I like the Pelicans name, it could be worse. It could be the
New Orleans Lil Weezys.
FRIDAY
-Johnny
Manziel released a trick-shot video with the Dudes of Dude Perfect.
Is it real? Do I care? Not really. The kid is the most interesting College Football player in America. As for the best? Look up Jadeveon Clowney on youtube…
WEEKEND WATCH!
What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re
not drunk or doing something better.
SEE MOVIE 43!
-There’s a lot of people in this
flick; Halle Berry, Johnny Knoxville, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Anna Ferris,
Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler and Brett Ratner just to
name a few.
As for the plot, I have no fucking clue and the previews haven't helped too much. If you check
it out, let me know how that goes for you.
SEE PARKER!
-Jason
Statham not smiling, using that tough-guy English accent and smoking bad guys with roundhouse kicks. So it’s pretty much the
same as every other Jason Statham movie, only this one has J-LO.
WATCH THE ROYAL RUMBLE!
-The
Rock vs. CM Punk and a 30-man, over-the-top battle royal? Sold. I’m a geek. Deal with it.
WATCH THE NFL PRO BOWL!
-Or
go outside and play a game of flag football with your friends. It’s pretty much the same thing! In fact, the flag game probably offers
more defense than what the Pro Bowl has become.
Another week in the books. Be safe on those streets and have a good weekend people.
-WST
