FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-BACK IN THE DAY!

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

MONDAY

-Jamal Crawford's memory is just better than yours...

Give the man a hand, he just passed his drug test.  Congrats Jamal!

-Bucks-Sixers...

The best sleep you'll ever get.

TUESDAY

-Not even legendary Street Fighter E. Honda can stop Dirk Nowitzki...

Hand down, man down.

-Speaking of the Knicks, Raymond Felton....

Fat, bad at basketball and trigger-happy is no way to go through life son.  You live in the same city where "Cheddar" Plaxico Burress got two years just for shooting HIMSELF.  You pointed a pistol at your girl (a hot, itellgent one at that), what do you think they're going to do to your chicken nugget-loving ass?

WEDNESDAY

-Everyone remembers Buzz's Girlfriend (woof!) from Home Alone...

Well meet her father, Astros Bullpen Coach Craig Bjornson...

Clearly he's not too happy with the idea of his little piglet dating one of those damn McCallister kids.

-Baseball's around the corner!  Here's A's outfielder Josh Reddick robbing the Orioles' Michael Morse of two jacks twice!

When reached for a comment, Reddick gave all credit to his new trainer...

THURSDAY
-Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross called it a career and gets a Barbershop Quartet sendoff by teammate Ryan Kalil.

Exhibit A that not all offensive lineman treat each other like shit.  Hi Dolphins organization!

But fuck all that shit right now...

-So Robin Thicke and Paula Patton called it quits because Thicke likes to sleep around but can you really blame him? 

 You see I'm not saying what he did was right but come on now... they gave it nine years and that's fairly long by celebrity standards.

Besides, those two are too good looking not to do the world a favor and have sex with other people.

I mean I really believe that he was trying his damnedest not to get frisky with other chicks but shit, the minute "Blurred Lines" dropped, you knew it was game over...

Minute that song hit the radio, fucker was in the club dodging pussy like Neo dodges bullets!

And fending off women like they were Japanese rabbits...

Wait, what the hell am I talking about?  He DID fuck up!  Paul Patton is so fine!  You know what?  I won't even begin to go into my level of thirst when it comes to that woman.

-Someone got himself a new toy...

Forget Space Jam 2, who's ready for the mask of LeZorro?

FRIDAY

-Utah Valley.  New Mexico State.  BASKETBRAWL!

Student section picked the wrong moment to rush the court man.  Green Man is lucky he didn't catch a two-piece.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

WATCH THE NHL STADIUM SERIES!

The NHL's outdoor party shifts to Chicago's Soldier Field as the Blackhawks take on the Penguins!

Should be cold as fuck and I plan on enjoying the game from a sandy Miami bar with a tequila in my hand as I've taken my talents to South Beach for the weekend.

I should kick my own ass for that last comment.

SEE SON OF GOD!
Lady-Killer Jesus?

Lady-Killer Jesus.

SEE NON STOP!
Liam Neeson is the white Denzel; older he gets, more people he kills.  By the way, they should have just called this movie Sky-Hard..

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to Harold Ramis!

Stripes, Animal House, Analyze This, Analyze That, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters...

Touchstones of classic comedy.

Thank you and R.I.P.

It's all wrapped up like a mummy,  I met her on a monday and my heart stood still.

-WST'

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-AIN'T GONNA HURT NOBODY!

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

MONDAY

-NBA All-Star weekend looked like a good time...

I gotta hand it to Pharrell for making the feel-good song of the year.  Play that track anytime you have a bad day and you'll suddenly feel like you got a promotion, found a $100 dollar bill and got laid all within four minutes.

-5'3, 130 pound running back Jen Walter became the first female at the position to play in a men's professional game as she tried out for the Texas Revolution indoor club.

She ended up with three goal line carries for -1 yard, or as I like to call them...Trent Richardson numbers.

TUESDAY

-Alright! College Jeopardy!

 Alright!  African-American History!

 Oh damn, well...this is awkward.

I'm sure they were just avoiding this category until the end because it's their favorite. That's totally it, right?  Right?!

-Ohhhhhhhhh!  Baby gets taken to school and then probably gets taken to pre-school!  Someone give that toddler's ankles a eulogy!!!! 

STILL better defense than anything you saw in the All-Star game.  In fact, I hear the Nets are ready to sign her to a four-year deal with the ability to opt-out after three.

WEDNESDAY

-Available now for your pledge dollars on Kickstarter.com....

Seems like a worthwhile project.  Check out the alternate cover...

-Carmelo Anthony...stay thirsty my friend.

Best Part?  Some guy broke this whole situation down and reacts as if he's stumbled onto something more than a just a NBA player checking out a cutie.

"He KNOWS shorty!"  I  love a good NBA groupie conspiracy theory.

THURSDAY

Shit....

USA women's hockey blows a late lead and falls to Canada in OT of the gold medal game, 3-2.

-KNOCK, KNOCK, WHO'S THERE, GOLD MEDAL IN THE FACE, THAT'S WHO'S THERE! 

Good fucking job USA.  That display of Canadian pride is all on you. You ladies jagged.

But fuck all that shit right now....

It's the NBA trade deadline and like every year, we are subjected to numerous "insider" reports and speculation of big-name players such as Melo or Rajon Rando's punk-ass being moved as the date inches nearer...

Let's run down a list of the day's big trades:

-Pacers ship Danny Granger (always injured) to the Sixers for Evan Turner (no one likes him).

-Nuggets send Andre Miller (old as the bible) to the Wizards for Jan Vesely (garbage, but has a tall, PDA-loving girlfriend)

-Clippers send Antwan Jamison (hasn't been good since '08) to the Hawks and Byron Mullins (lol) to the Sixers for a bag of basketballs and a case of blue Gatorade.

-Cavaliers acquire Spencer Hawes (nutcase Obama birther).

-Spurs send Nando de Colo (sounds like a delicious Italian cookie) to the Raptors for Austin Daye (on his fourth team in the last year).

-Warriors pack MarShon Brooks (could be good someday, but nobody feels like finding out) to the Lakers for Steve Blake (Alex Smith's sharpshooting clone).

-Rockets ship Aaron Brooks (they've traded him twice now) to the Nuggets for Jordan Hamilton (who).

-Oh and can't forget the Nets sending the body of Jason Terry (murdered by Lebron last season) and Reggie Evans (Kimbo Slice) to Sacramento for Marcus Thornton (likes to score, also likes to shoot when he shouldn't).

HOT-DAMN! THAT'S SOME IMPRESSIVE WHEELIN' AND DEALIN'!!!! GLAD I STAYED GLUED TO TWITTER ALL DAY TO CATCH THOSE HOT MOVES!!!!!

Kiss my ass Marc Stein!  Drink and drive Chris Broussard!  

Hit me up when you have some relevant Basketball transactions to offer!

-North Carolina beats Duke 74-66 in another edition of college basketball's most overrated rivalry...

Nothing screams, "we thought we were gonna get waxed!" like UNC students rushing the court.  Excuse me, but isn't this TOBACCO ROAD? Home of Jordan, Worthy, Stackhouse, Carter, not Morehead State!  Bad form, you wack-ass chumps.

FRIDAY

-The Tampa Bay Buccanners unveil their new logo, well not really...

Just a bigger, more pissed-off skull...basically Skeletor on a helmet.

   

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

WATCH USA-CANADA OLYMPIC HOCKEY!

See? Canadians are bat-shit crazy.  Let's go USA!

WATCH THE 2014 NFL COMBINE!

NFL prospects, agents, coaches, scouts, and front-office personnel descend on Indianapolis for the league's underwear olympics!  Four days full of 40 times, bench presses, back alley deals and Steak N' Shake!

SEE POMPEII!

I guess "Jon Snow vs. The Volcano" wasn't a good enough title.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to James Harden...oh...Hardens!

So many beards.  Looks like Black America finally found it's answer to Duck Dynasty!

Turn off the lights, light a candle!  I'm done. We could've had something special!

-WST

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-ALL MY LIFE!

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

MONDAY

-HEY! HEY! HEY! HOLD ON THERE YOUNG SIR!

Dumb.  Foolish.  Immature.  Unacceptable.  Irresponsible. 

What? No, I'm not talking about Oklahoma State PG Marcus Smart. No excuses for the shove. but you expect all of the above out of a 19 year-old. 

I'm talking about the guy Smart pushed in retaliation for calling him a piece of crap (I still think he said worse)...Texas Tech "superfan" Jeff Orr.

Orr, a 1983 TT grad is a 50-something grown man who enthusiastically refers to himself as the #1 fan for a college basketball team... 

This loser is known for driving 6 hours both ways (he's an air-traffic controller in Waco) to sit courtside and harass kids from opposing schools. I'll give him credit though, he's smart enough to know what would probably happen if he pulled that nonsense at an NBA game...

Remember kids:  Just because you buy a ticket, doesn't give you an excuse to be a dipshit.

-So ESPN was good and ready to run the Marcus Smart story into the ground like a Oil Drill and then something happened to let the Okie State phenom off the hook...

That something was Michael Sam, Missouri's 6'2, 260-pound All-American Defensive End and SEC Defensive Player of the year.

Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...NOW!

The Reaction?  Well there's one half of America...

And the other....

I happen to be part of the first group and I can't stand the morons out there like... 

DERRRRR...IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, WHY DID HE HAVE TO COME OUT WITH IT? HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT TO HIMSELF!

 DUHHHHH...HE PROBABLY LOST MONEY IN THE DRAFT BY COMING OUT! 

It is a big deal.  Someday it won't be, but today it is because Sam will become the first openly gay man to play in the country's most popular league.  A violent, testosterone-filled game traditionally played by homophobic individuals and seen by many of it's fans as overly manly.

He also came out with it because people were going to find out...

The idea of your job coming across your drunk Facebook pics of that college trip to the South Padre Islands make you nervous?  Try being an NFL Draft prospect where scouts make it a priority to know EVERYTHING about you.

Michael Sam took the initiative to put himself out there before a bigger story was made of it and feel free about himself.  He'll be drafted exactly where he should be (3-5th round) and if you're a close-minded fuck who really has a problem with him on your favorite NFL team, you'll be changing your tune the second he contributes to a win.

TUESDAY

-U.S. Luger "Dancin'" Kate Hansen! I see you sweetheart!

She's good, pretty damn good.  She's finished in 10th place but still pretty good moves.

-It's that time of the year where research is vital if you want to win your March Madness pool...

If you're still not sure about your picks, I think Bill Self may have a couple nuggets for you,

WEDNESDAY

- 18 year-old Freeskier Torin Yater-Wallace is FADED and about to max on some free Olympic Big Macs.

I think we just figured out what's really up with Bob Costas' eyes...

Pink eye my ass.  I know you've been in the Olympic Village putting a lil' something in the air with my man Torin.

- THIS is Dwight Howard

Can someone please do this young lady a favor and inform her that this is NOT Dwight Howard?

Where are they?  Payless Shoes?  By the way, cancel that FYI, the real Dwight has it covered...

Impostor Dwight is still out there though...lurking...waiting...with a thirst for more photo opportunities.

THURSDAY

-Team USA Hockey Ike Turners Slovakia 7-1.  Marian Hossa is still good though because bitches love him.  The red, white and blue wreckin' crew takes on Russia early Saturday at 6:30 (again?!) in a matchup that should look something like...

But fuck all that shit right now....

Another Valentine's day is upon us and every year I can't help but notice more and more people out there moping around because they think not being with someone one day out of the year means they're not loved.

Now I'm single as a dollar menu and I don't mind Valentine's day.  Previous years where I've been with someone, I'll do dinner, drinks, some kind of activity. 

Years where I'm not? I'll chill at the condo or link up with friends and have a go out because you know what's not cool?  Being a asshole/bitch because you're solo on February 14th.

Way I see it, people who dislike V-Day fall into three categories:

A) Those who care that they're not with someone, but act/talk/social media like they don't...making it ironically obvious that they do care in the process.

B) Those who don't want a relationship, but want someone for the day because most of the people around them have someone.

C) Those who try to play it off and say it's the commercialization of the holiday that bothers them.

Seriously, if you're any one of these types, I have some advice: stop the pity party, smell a rose, eat a couple Hershey's Kisses, listen to some smooth R&B and chill the hell out.

Don't get angry at flower, candy or card companies for flooding TV or the internet.  That's what businesses are supposed to.

Don't throw shade at your friends for talking about their plans or seeing them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat...whatever else is hot right now.

Want to be angry at someone?  Be mad at yourself.  

Be mad at yourself for not putting yourself out there enough.

Be mad at yourself for falling into the hookup culture and jumping in bed with someone without getting to know them.

Be mad for deluding yourself and searching for that 100% perfect guy/girl when there is no such person.

Be mad for not loving yourself; where you work, how much money you make, how much you weigh, how you look and not making improvements in those areas so you can be a better person with the confidence to find what you're looking for.

Or...

How about this?  call someone...anyone who means something in your life and them know YOU care.  Friend, parents, siblings, co-worker, fucking whoever.  There's no rule saying you have to be in love with someone to enjoy the day, just have some good-feelings.

Quit tying your self-worth to being out with someone, giving/receiving gifts, or spending cash.

Or go ahead and be miserable.  I just don't want to hear about it.

-Someone jacked a bag containing $50,000 from Ed Reed's 2006 Audi in Houston.  What the hell is Ed Reed doing riding around with fifty stacks?  Buying a few keys of blow?  Anyway, I have a pretty good idea who H-Town PD should be looking for...

Scrooge McDuck can sympathize with you Ed.

FRIDAY

-Really?  Seriously?  Come on now...

The #SochiProblems continue.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SEE ROBOCOP!

I wanna see if the remake can at least ATTEMPT to match the brilliance of the original. I doubt it though, I mean the main villain from the first one was the dude who played "Red" in That 70's Show!

WATCH THE NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND!

The NBA's star-parked exhibition game heads to New Orleans for a weekend of dunks, celebrity parties, side chicks, and no defense!

WATCH USA HOCKEY!

I'm still not to keen with these crack of dawn start times for Olympic Hockey.  It's a rough request asking me to get up at 6:30 on Saturday and Sunday.  Luckily patriotism can overcome any hangover...at least I think it can.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to Derek Jeter!

The Yankees shortstop announced that 2014 will be his 20th and final season!

To name a few of the Captain's accolades: Over 3,000 hits, 13 All-Star appearances, 5 World Series Rings, 1 World Series MVP.

And most importantly...

A laundry list of actress and model girlfriends with ZERO baby mamas!  You did it!  Congrats bro!

Show's over!  Parting is such sweet sorrow. If this is empty...

-WST

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-NO FUTURE IN YO FRONTIN!

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

MONDAY

-SEAHAWKS DOMINATE THE SUPER BOWL!!!! BEAST MODE...DANCE!!!!

Looks like a swole-ass Kool-Aid man with all that red but he's a champion, he can do whatever the hell he wants.

-Now while Beast Mode is always welcome on the football field or dance floor, it's ill-advised when dealing with referees...

Bad form Joakim.  I'll let it slide though.   I remember the first time I saw Half-Baked too...

TUESDAY

-The Kansas City Royals...pretty good at advertising...

Still pretty bad at Baseball.

-Sochi...

Welcome to Russia....

WEDNESDAY

-National Signing day and Eastern Michigan University signs a 6'4 Defensive End by the name of Lion King Conaway (no joke!).  You know damn well where this is going...

Not easy being a Eastern Michigan fan but hopefully they'll be singing Hakuna Matata with Conaway's arrival.

- Chris Kaman: "I'm sorry, looks like I've run all out of fucks to give!"

And why should he?  Have you watched the Lakers lately?

THURSDAY

Warriors beat the Bulls 102-87 as the world's only walking, talking, 3-point shooting Golden Graham Steph Curry drops 34 points.

But fuck all that shit right now...

I was going through Facebook mobile on my phone the other day when I made the deadly mistake of sliding through feed too quick and accidentally liked SOMETHING...

What?  I have no clue.  And that scares the shit out of me.

What if I liked Infant Punchers Anonymous?

What if I liked an ad for penis pumps?!

What if I liked the Arizona Tea Party....Mountain Dew.... Panda Express...the American Hustle fan page??????????!!!

The horror!  The horror!!!!!!!!!  THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!

-One of Sochi's infamous strays infiltrated a Cross-Country Skiing course and started barking at Olympians during their training runs...

That's gotta be pretty annoying but the little fella still has noting on this mutt...

FRIDAY

-Former NBA star Stephon Marbury was ejected and locked up following an on-court fight in Beijing.  Personally, I think they're just tired of his shitty shoes.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SEE THE MONUMENTS MEN!

It's like Saving Private Ryan!  Actually it's not like it at all...I just figured I'd say so since both DO have Nazis and Matt Damon!

WATCH THE WALKING DEAD!

It's back!  Things went pretty apeshit pretty quick in December's mid-season finale.  Should be interesting to see what Rick and Carl Grimes have up their sleeves next.

DON'T WATCH THE OLYMPIC OPENING CEREMONIES!

If I wanted to watch three-plus hours of people from around the world trying to cram into a stadium, I would have taken a folding chair to the Jersey Subway last weekend...

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to New York's Jonah Rechnitz.  Two Super Bowls ago, this sick bastard threw down $1,000 on 50-to-1 odds that the first score of the Super Bowl would be a safety...

Tom Brady gets flagged for intentional grounding in the the end zone. Ka-Ching.  $50,000.

This year, he throws down $500 dollars on the same prop bet...

Manny Ramirez snaps the ball over Robo-Manning's big-ass dome.  $25,000.

$75,000 in two of the last three Super Bowls...now here's the kicker:  he donates it all to charity.

I guess you can afford to do that when you're a real estate mogul like ol' Jonah up there (I suddenly hate him now).

But seriously, Congratulations Jonah, you're better than all of us...

See, I'm honest with myself.   I know that if I made that bread, the only charity it's going to is the WST Social Fund.

They say a Saturday Night is a terrible thing to waste.

 Football is over, so it's time to get crafty with the weekends!  See you next week. What's a bath without bubbles?

-WST
