FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-TUESDAY!

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

MONDAY
-A brief sampling of Drake's basketball-related references

" I had to Derrick Rose the knee-up before I got the re-up,"

"I'm on my King James shit, I'm tryna win here again,"

"I been Steph Curry with the shot,"

" I reached heights that Dwight Howard couldn't reach,"

And of course....

"Bitch you wasn't with me shooting in the gym,"

Now you can't drop all those lines about hoopin' and then do this....
0-for-100 real quick...real fucking quick.

-Payton Manning set a new NFL record with TD pass #509!  Congrats Payt....
Well...according to KOMO channel 4 in Seattle, It was actually NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton who broke it. 

Can't really blame them, what do people in Seattle know about Basketball?

TUESDAY
-Kristaps Zile of Latvian club HK Siga delivered maybe the strangest Hockey check of 2014 when he went for a hip check on Red Bull Salsburg's Lukas Pozgay and instead took him on a fight right into the boards.
When Pozgay wakes up, someone should remind him that Red Bull really does give you wings.

-Kevin Durant and Thunder rookie Mitch McGary are ridin' dirty!
Awwww...is Kevin Durant sad?  Tough shit, I've had to look at this for almost two seasons now.

WEDNESDAY
-Browns WR Andrew Hawkins has one rule is in his house: if you're going to live in his home, Andrew Hawkins better be your favorite player.  Hawkins' 2-year-old son Austin just found out if you wanna be down with AJ Green, you can go kick it at his crib....
A video posted by Andrew Hawkins (@youngbabyhawk) on


Little Austin got off easy, Adrian Peterson's son told his dad Marshawn Lynch was his favorite player and look what happened...

- Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.  Fear the Cosby sweater.
Some have pointed out that the elderly boxer may very well be retired Italian Olympic pugilist Ernesto Bergamasco so that would make sense.  Either way it's apparent that grandpa's training regimen goes 

EAT
SLEEP
CONQUER
MATLOCK
REPEAT

THURSDAY
-Royals Peanut guy is an concession tossing cyborg!
Good thing the guy up top actually pays him...or else that five bones is coming out of HIS paycheck.

But fuck all that shit right now...let's talk...
We're a week a week away from Halloween, which is dope because Halloween is on a Friday and that means half of your office will be cutting out early to prep for parties that night.

Now it goes without saying (even though I am saying it) that good music makes any party successful and when it comes to tunes on All Hallows' Eve, everyone knows Michael Jackson's Thriller is the world heavyweight champ hands down, no argument.  

Seriously, if you do try to argue it, I'll poo-dollar you.

but what about the other songs?  What spooky tracks should you be including on your Halloween pre-game/party playlist?

A ranking:

Missed the Cut: 
*EPMD-Symphony 2000
*Rihanna-Mad House
*Carlos Santana-Black Magic Woman
*The Misfits-Monster Mash
*Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs-Little Red Riding Hood
*Metallica-Enter Sandman
*DMX-The Omen
*Smashing Pumpkins-Zero
*Warren Zevon-Werewovles of London 
*Fat Boys-Ready For Freddy
*Harvey Danger-Flagpole Sitta
*Kanye West-Monster 
*Ministry-Every Day is Halloween  
*Geto Boys-Mind Playing Tricks On Me 
*Bone Thugs-Crossroads
  1. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince-Nightmare on My Street
Why?  Once upon a time, Will and Jazz tangled with razor-fingered Freddy!  Did you forget?  I didn’t!
  1. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds-Red Right Hand
Why? Featured on the X-Files, Dumb & Dumber and everyone's favorite teen-filled slasher series, Scream.
  1. Dr. Dre-Murder Ink
Why?  That Michael Myers beat tho...
  1. Rob Zombie-Dragula
Why?  It’s a little satanic but it’s too good to not listen to.   Anyone up for a game of Twisted Metal 4?
  1. Eminem-Stan
Why?  Listen to the lyrics, the memoirs of Stanley “Stan” Mitchell, self-proclaimed #1 fan”of Slim Shady are absolutely terrifying.
  1. Marilyn Manson-This is Halloween
Why?  Danny Elfman’s 1993 classic for “The Nightmare Before Christmas” gets edgier in this 2008 cover from MM.
  1. Ray Parker Jr.-Ghostbusters
Why?  In the words of Peter Vankman: Sometimes, shit happens, someone’s gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?  BTW, always check under your bed for Ray Parker Jr. before you go to sleep.
  1. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins- I Put a spell on you
Why?  Well he certainly earned his nickname didn’t he?
  1. Kavinsky-Nightcall
Why? French house music royalty Kavinsky delivers with a spooky beat and Megatron-like vocals that only added to brilliance of the Ryan Gosling film “Drive."
  1. Rockwell-Somebody’s Watching Me
Why?  Instagram, Twitter, Facebook…the creeps are out more than ever.  That's Michael Jackson making a guest appearance on the chorus by the way!

BONUS!!!!!!

FRIDAY
-Steve Nash will miss the entire 2014-15 season due to chronic back issues.  Nash experience his latest setback carrying his luggage from the airport!
Damn, Nash, don't they have people to get your bags at this point?

Your body could be trying to tell you something...maybe along the lines of it doesn't want to play with Kobe this year either!

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

SEE JOHN WICK!
They killed his dog...now everyones gotta pay!

SERIES FINALE OF BOARDWALK EMPIRE!
All good things must come to an end!  Hopefully Nucky Thompson goes out breathing!

BUY HALLOWEEN CANDY!
You buy it any earlier and you're just teasing yourself.  

As far as candy disbursement goes, you should always go one chocolate, one fruit, one classic.  So for example; peanut butter cup, Starburst and some a Tootsie roll/pop.  You're welcome.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!
Recognizing whomever the hell I want!
Shout-Out to Titans rookie QB Zach Mettenberger!

Mettenberger will receive the first start of his young career Sunday against the Texans!

 Not sure if it was an early Halloween gag or not, but Zach met the media Thursday rocking a hairstyle-mustache combo that closely resembles a certain iconic movie character with a penchant for herb, beer busts and Aerosmith tickets.

Good luck kid!  Hopefully you make better decisions than Wooderson.
Thanks for your support!  Until next week!  You must show us some respect!

-WST
