FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-RISE TO GLORY!

All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY

MONDAY

-Even the most die-hard football fan opted for the GRAMMYs over the Pro Bowl Sunday night.  

And for good reason...the Pro Bowl is awful. I mean the league tried to shake things up and allow participants to be "fantasy drafted" by Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders but people were fed up.  Sorry Pro Bowl, you're like a psychotic ex who swears they'll change.  You've hurt us too many times.

 And while I still wouldn't change my find, I did hear some guys from the same teams ended up mugging each other.

Ohhh shit!  There's this thing called the internet?

Ohhh shit! And they have these things called websites?

Ohhh shit! And there is a website called YouTube that features clips of anything including those very SAME moments of teammate-on-teammate crime that I desired?!?!?!?!?

WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?  RUN THAT SHIT!

Yessss! More!

Eh...I like the first one better but still an A for effort.  Thank you internet, now I feel even better about my decision to watch Kendrick Lamar be robbed instead!

-We get it...

Cyborg Head says Omaha...alot.  It wasn't funny the first time.  Give me a ring when a QB shouts pussy over and over.

TUESDAY

- 

Heyo! It's Super Bowl Media Day!  The NFL's annual obscure question fiesta...

Quote of the day goes to "Beastemode" Marshawn Lynch...

-The day's most not-so random celebrity sighting goes too...

Lil Terio!  Who continues to be everywhere...except school.  And kick it with everyone...except his parents.

WEDNESDAY

-How badass were old-school NFL players?  Well here's Chiefs Hall of Fame QB Len Dawson just PUFFING on a square during halftime of Super Bowl I.

This photo is just more evidence that even back in the day, you were just better off just grabbing a smoke break than watching halftime shows.

- Silly media leaches!  Marshawn Lynch will not dance, unless he hears some music dammit! Beast Mode made it TOUGH for the media this week!

I see you trying to shine Michael Robinson!  Swear I'm not just focusing on the Seahawks...it's just that the Broncos aren't really interesting...at all! BOSS!!!

THURSDAY

So there you have it...the Tecmo Super Bowl predicts an extremely speedy Super Bowl 48.  Don't even bother tuning in.  Drive home safely!

Anyway, fuck all that shit right now...

I have a question to ask everyone?  What good are Super Bowl commercials if we already know what's going to happen?  If fuckers aren't flat-out putting them out early online...

they're dropping annoying teasers for them on TV.

As of today, I know that Bud Light's commercial(s) will involve Arnold Schwarzenegger, Don Cheadle. a Llama, and a Reggae mic. Cool right?

No. 

It makes me want to walk out of the room the minute it comes on.  Shit sounds awful. 

-This melts my heart...and I'm an asshole.

"Well mom, the prices went down because the actual game is in New Jersey and all you need to know about Jersey is..."

FRIDAY

-As long as people keep coming up with gold like this, you will never hear the end of Richard Sherman...

I know it's supposed to be Sherman and Erin Andrews but I think Richard Sherman and Holly Rowe would be more accurate...

WEEKEND WATCH!

What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or doing something better…

PREPARING FOR BRUNO MARS!

Because let's face it: you know it's coming...

Train diligently.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to You!  The Football Fan!

Combine, draft, training camp, pre-season, fantasy draft, regular season, playoffs...

Fantasy leagues, Prop bets, confidence picks, point spreads, square pools...

Monday and Thursday nights, entire Sundays spent...

This weekend is about knocking back a few and possibly or (not) making an ass of yourself...This weekend is about throwing down cold-hard cash on two teams you only followed for six games or less...This weekend is about eating food that's going to make you wanna do a two-a-day in the gym come Monday...This weekend is about having irrelevant debates...This weekend is about getting together with people...  

People you love but your girl hates!  

People your girl loves but buddy hates!
  
People your buddy loves but you hate!

People you all love!

A whole bunch of of people you love and hate loving and hating each other for three-plus hours just to take in one thing..AMERICAN CULTURE DAMN IT.

Hard Hits! Fireworks! Good commercials!  Long passes!  Bad commercials!  Liking Troy Aikman!  Music!  Michael Strahan's gap-tooth!  Exciting runs! Movie Trailers! Jimmy Johnson's hair! Big-time catches! Victory!  Defeat!  Hating Joe Buck!

Human emotions at their highest and lowest forms! 

Why?

 Because it's fun!  This weekend is about fun!

 Enjoy the game and see you next week. Four seconds is a lifetime, we're a lifetime away here!

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-HARDER THAN YOU THINK!

All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY

MONDAY

-Everyone knows the whole Richard Sherman thing.  I pretty much spent all week breaking the fiasco down and getting into pissing matches with anyone who dares challenge that the guy didn't really do anything wrong.  I can't lie, I'm all Richard Shermaned out until next Sunday...

Butttttttttt just for the hell of it, let's watch the OTHER Sherman interview with FOX Deportes right before he ran into everyone's favorite sideline eye-candy...err...I mean reporter.

Thought I told you that I won't stop, thought I told you that I won't stop!

-Bucks rookie Forward Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo seems to really be enjoying his first year in the States...

No Giannis Antetokounmpo...god bless YOU.

TUESDAY

-The Winter Olympics are coming up and what's more exciting than 16 days of athletes you barely know competing in sports you only care about every four years?  Allow me to introduce you to Netherlands' Speedskater Sjinkie  Knegt...

Why is he important?  He's not.  But I look forward to more photos like this from Sochi.

-Michelle Obama crushes apples.  Shits on D-wade.

So much is going on in this video.  No matter how many passes I give him, Chris Bosh remains the weirdest dude in the league.  Did you see Lady Obama's "O face" after that dunk? BTW, even Air FLOTUS has more Chicago street cred than Flash.

WEDNESDAY

-Andrea Bargnai...smh...what are we going to do with you my tall Italian friend?

Yeah, he's out indefinitely with a torn ligament in his elbow after that.  Look at the picture below though...

Melo...just laughing.  The Knicks are in trouble and I know just the person to turn it all around...

-Kevin Durant has dominated the NBA this month and the "Durantula" nickname was cute, but never really did it for a lot of people so good sir, the internet now dubs thee...SLIM REAPER!

And we don't care that you don't like it either!  No one is supposed to like their nickname, you just roll with it.  Besides, look at the picture below...terrifying and it doesn't look like you'll be called for traveling either!

THURSDAY

-Starters for the NBA All-Star game in New Orleans were announced...proving once again that fans are stupid as shit and the power to select (starters anyway) must be seized from them.  Everyone thinks Kyrie Irving should start just because he dresses as a grandpa and dunks on chumps in viral videos?   Chris Paul has only played in 36 games this season. No LaMarcus Aldrige?  Pretty sure Kobe specifically told fans NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM! 

Anyway, fuck all that shit right now...

The Super Bowl is upon us and this matchup has the potential to be the best game we've seen in a while. 

Even before Richard Sherman decided to keep it real and piss off every old fart/self-righteous dipshit in the process, this is the match-up we all wanted.

Clearly the two best teams in the league, #1 seeds going into the playoffs, old guard vs. up and comer at the QB spot, best offense in the league vs. best defense etc.

As Bart Scott would say: CAN'T WAIT! Right?

So if you're a hard-core football fan the question remains...do you even go to/throw a Super Bowl party this year?

Super Bowl parties are tricky to begin with...  

You want to be be around people who know when to shut the hell up if the game is good, but at the same time, can also be interesting or entertaining if it blows.

Frankly, I'm torn.  

I can't decide if I wanna watch with a big group or if I'd rather just kick it with a couple buddies who won't spend the entire second half critiquing the Bruno Mars-Red Hot Chili Peppers halftime performance.

FYI, you're going to hate yourself for enjoying that combo later.  No illuminati conspiracy theories this year either guys.

-Hit it GINUWINE!

Come on ref.  Derek Fisher has a wife and kids!

FRIDAY

-NFL season is pretty much over so it's time for some Bad Lip Reading!

No Mo Kung-Fu!

WEEKEND WATCH!

What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or doing something better…

WATCH THE PRO BOWL!

Actually....DON'T.  DO NOT UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!  FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T WATCH!  I KNOW IT'S FOOTBALL BUT... NOOOOOOO YOU'RE WATCHING!

WATCH THE 56th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS!

LL Cool J is hosting/plugging his clothing line at Sears and Daft Punk will be performing so that should be nice.

SEE I, FRANKESTEIN!

HA! I'm just joking, don's see this bullshit.  Seriously...if you see it, I'll poke you in the eye and push you down a flight of stairs.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-Out to drunk amateur Czech Goalie!

You think a few pints at the tavern before the game is going to keep this guy off the ice?!  His team needs him dammit! He's a WARRIOR!

Okay...maybe on second thought, he could have called ahead and let the boys know he won't be making it tonight.

Exit stage right. Have a great weekend and thanks for your support!  You think I'm funny?

-WST

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-I LUV IT!

All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY

MONDAY

-Not trying to go to hell or anything but...

AMEN!  You ever wish church could always be that quick?  That was from Gold Hill Lutheran Church in Butte, Montana and I'm VERY interested in joining their congregation.

-Here's Dwight Howard posting up and blocking a small child because that's the only way he will ever be considered a "dominant" NBA Center.

Someone should have told junior there to just foul him...you know Howard's missing both free throws.

TUESDAY

-Meet the Cubs new mascot, Clark The Cub...

BTW,  I know it's their state bird, but why did New Orleans pick the Pelican as a mascot?  Pelicans are VICIOUS.   I shit you not, those things are bloodthirsty, killing machines!

-Yogi Ferrell is out here trying to flourish!  Look at the Indiana point guard levitate!

If you were unaware, Ferrell graduated from the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters before attending IU.

WEDNESDAY

-Harbaugh!  Khakis! $8!  Wal-Mart! Now!  "Who's got it better than us?!"

Shit, Dockers apparently.  You're the sole reason they're still in business.  Looks like the 49ers' marketing department rushed into action quick.  See what you can now buy in the team store...

-This is Lauren Tannehill, wife of Dolphins QB Ryan.

This is Lauren's AR-15 she accidentally left in the trunk of her rental at Ft. Lauderdale's airport.

Two things:  Trying to carjack Lauren Tannehill would not be a advised, and if she ever says, "Let me grab something from the trunk quick!" you should probably run.

THURSDAY

-Price of Gold; a top-notch documentary from ESPN's "30 for 30" series focused on the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan rivalry of the early 90's premiered last night.  Shit got real man.  I don't want to ruin it if you're not familiar but check it out.  But fuck all that shit right, now...

It's Conference Championship weekend for the NFL.  This means it's the last real weekend of football because the Super Bowl is ultimately a side show that'll be over before you know it.  You'll go to a party, bitch because you were one of the few who actually WANTED to watch the game and go home a little buzzed and full of guacamole.

Anyway, these match-ups has people salivating and network execs creaming their pants.  In the AFC, you have the gold-standard of  "traditional" quarterbacking in Brady and Manning.  In the NFC, hip, dual-threat, athletic (that means they're black) young guns in Wilson and Kaepernick.

One thing bothers me though....Seahawks fans.  It's time we had a little talk...

For the record, let me state I'm picking Seattle to win this weekend.  They have a sick defense, a strong running game, a good offensive line and competent QB play.  That said, I've noticed a lot of Seahawks fans talking all season like this organization has been the truth for YEARS!

Come on now...Seattle...we all remember this

And this...

Even when they made it to the Super Bowl in 06, no one really thought they were going to win...

Now that I think about it, up until Cortez Kennedy (beast) got in, the Seahawks lone Hall of Famer was this guy...

And let's not even talk about other sports like say...Basketball?

Had a lot of success in baseball but never won and thanks to you, America now has this guy...

Yes, the world of sports have not been kind too kind to the Emerald city...

At the end of the day, all you're known for is Nirvana, a evil coffee corporation and one of the better seasons of MTV's The Real World.

So yeah Seahawks fans, love your city, I know these are exciting times but hush...at least for a couple more weeks anyway.

FRIDAY

-Carter Hutton is about as WASPY a name you'll find...

But damn that was pretty.  :::Golf Clap:::

WEEKEND WATCH!

What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or doing something better…

WATCH THE NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Seahawks host Niners.  As I said earlier, I'll take Seattle.  Patriots at Broncos.  Give me LeGarrett "Punchy McFisticuffs" Blount and pretty boy Brady. BTW...

Enjoy the games everyone.

SEE RIDE ALONG!

Kevin Hart (dude is EVERYWHERE) and Ice Cube team up for a buddy cop flick.  Looks funny but why do I feel like the trailers already gave away the best jokes.

WATCH THE EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME!

Tune into NFL Network Saturday to get a heads-up on the players you'll be bitching about next season on your fantasy team once you've lost two starters.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-Out to Seahawks and Niners fans!  That's right the same city I just trashed is going to get a little bit of shine.  While the back-and-forth banter between fans of the two NFC West rivals has annoyed the rest of the country, they have also actually done something worthwhile and engaged in a competition to see who can donate more money to their area's respective Children's Hospitals.  

Seattle leads with $20,933 pledged with San Francisco not too far behind at $13,419.

That's it for me. Have a great weekend and thanks for your support!  It ain't white boy day, is it?

-WST

FULL CIRLCE FRIDAY-DAMMIT MAN!

All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY

MONDAY

-BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!  Auburn came out strong.  Social Media hopped on the SEC's dick, but someone forgot to remind America that yes, there are in fact TWO halves in Football...

Game.  Seminoles.  Start the Tomahawk chop.  Let's go to "Famous" Jameis Winston for more...

-Got that? They're STRONG!  Seriously, though, not an awful speech, but since Jameis Winston is a large, black, 20 year-old with everything in life currently rolling his way, you know SOMEONE was going to find a way to hate on him...so who's it going to be?  Drumroll please...........

If you guessed Alabama QB AJ McCarron's mother, Dee Dee, I owe you a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos from 7-Eleven.  She deleted that tweet real quick but not before the Twitter police could get her ass.  

She's since come out and made it clear she's not racist and very well may not be.  

But is she saltier than large order of fries from McDonald's?  Hell yeah!  

Bitch, didn't you hear all that sodium is bad for you?  Walk your country ass to the Cracker Barrel, sit down, have yourself a sweet tea and shut the fuck up.

TUESDAY

-Fast & Furious franchise star Michelle Rodriguez decided to hit up the Knicks-Pistons game and make-out with "friend" and supermodel Cara Delevingne

I'm really hoping that made the kiss cam at Madison Square Garden.  If not, shame on you guys.  This is the most interesting thing to happen to the Knicks all season.

-What happens when you try to be a tough guy and take a cheap shot?

Sometimes Karma doesn't wait too long to pay you back.

WEDNESDAY

-Dennis Rodman and a group of retired NBA players participated in a "goodwill game" against the North Korean All-Stars.  As if that couldn't get any more weird, Rodman led a singing of "Happy Birthday" to Kim Jong-un.

The NBA team lost...because they wanted to come home (if at all) in something other than a box.

-

Wrestling LEGEND Ric Flair has received death threats from Carolina Panthers fans after tape emerged of the gawd of the squared circle firing up the San Francisco 49ers the night before their wild-card playoff match up against the Packers. Charlotte is Flair's hometown and the Niners visit the Panthers in the Divisional round Sunday.

People need to chill out, Flair is so old and crazy these days, he probably thought he was talking to the Charlotte 49ers.

Here's some of Flair's best stuff just because he's a 17-time World Champ and the greatest self-promoter of all time.

THURSDAY

-New York beats Miami 102-92.  Melo dropped 29 points, but no one cared because Michelle Rodriguez wasn't there, J.R. Smith was benched because he likes to untie people's shoelaces and everyone knows it's a two-horse race between the Heat and Pacers as far as the Eastern Conference goes so fuck all that shit right now...

Any of you guys check out Elite Daily?  They call themselves "The Voice of Generation Y" which I'm apart of so I read from time to time.

I'm feeling most of their articles...except the ones on relationships.  They're all over the place on those bad boys.

They'll come out one day with a piece saying how dudes need to be more chivalrous like our fathers and grandfathers...

Next day, some shit up about how girls only go for dickheads and how you need to be more of one to get a girl you're after.

Then there's the one about how you shouldn't chase girls at all because it can become an obsession (that was a little creepy to be honest).

So what you're saying is I should be a kind and courteous guy...but also be an asshole...while doing my best to not come off as thirsty?

Got it!  Excuse me while I go stick my head in the oven for taking the time to read that.

You want my advice when it comes to relationships or dating?  Not that you asked but I'll tell you because I can; fuck everyone else's advice, do you.  

May or may not work out but at least you did it your way.

-Jay Gruden becomes head coach of the Washington Redskins!

Damn...looks like he just figured out he works for Daniel Snyder now.  Looking forward to a lot of Spider 3y Banana action out of RGIII next year buddy.

FRIDAY

-It happened on Wednesday but I had to talk about this...

Man that was a bad no call.  D-Wade's ass is STILL traveling right now.

WEEKEND WATCH!

What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or doing something better…

WATCH THE NFL DIVISIONAL GAMES!

I can't wait for that Saints-Seahawks game Saturday and neither can Marshawn Lynch...

Beautiful chaos.  DARREN SHARPER HOLD MA DICK!!!!!!!!!

SEE LONE SURVIVOR!

Don't you dare say anything negative about this movie.  You'll be labeled un-American if you do.

WATCH NEW TV SHOWS!
Season 4 of Shameless.  Season 2 of Banshee.  Premiere of True Detective.  Don't have Showtime, Cinemax or HBO?  May be a good time to call your local cable provider and invest.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout Out to Frank Thomas, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine! Baseball's Hall of Fame voting committee hit a home run (pun definitely intended) this year by inducting three players WE grew up watching!  

I'm talking back in the 90's when Baseball was the sport!  

When Thursday nights were spent at the batting cages, coach treated you and your teammates to an Italian Ice after a win, you collected Fleer, Tops and Upper Deck trading cards and played that World Series Baseball for SEGA!

That's a wrap. Thanks for your support and when someone asks you if you are a god...you say YES!
