FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-RENEGADES OF FUNK!

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

MONDAY

Okalahoma State enthusiasm<Turkey leg enthusiasm

            -Nashville dusts Toronto with American players scoring all four goals.  How do you celebrate such an amazing feat of patriotism?  Well…HIT THE MUSIC!

Your country thanks you Predators.  You've defended our way of life.

TUESDAY

            -Unfortunately this sign failed to make it onto College Game day…

It’s a shame too because on a show filled with many outrageous messages, this could make an argument for most accurate.

            -Meet Boston College RB Andre Williams…he’s invincible.   No, like really invincible.  Fucking Mario Star invincible!

And when he’s not doing that, he’s straight crushing world eight and whipping Bowser’s ass.

WEDNESDAY

            -Old-school QB photo shoot!

Way to not throw the ball there Johnny Unitas...dick.  Might as well have taken that pic with your eyes closed too.

            -Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish readers and friends!  To celebrate, here’s a bunch of tall (mostly) Black guys singing “Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.”

Can a brother get a Latke though?  Those things are fire!

THURSDAY

            -Thanksgiving Football!  Lions beat up on something resembling the Green Bay Packers 40-10.  The Cowboys spotted the Raiders an early 21-7 lead (because they’re the Cowboys) but came back to win 31-24 and despite Mike Tomlin’s best defensive efforts, the Raves held on to beat the Steelers 22-20 but fuck all that right now….

Last week, a friend of mine invited me to her “Friendsgiving” party (white people have done it again!) so I showed up with a couple pies to smash because unless you have no soul, you should never show up to a party empty handed.

I decided to go up the back stairwell of her apartment and apparently I either had a lot on my mind or I’m just a dumb ass and went one floor too many up...  

I open the back door and there’s some young dude sitting in his kitchen drinking a beer in a Steelers shirt…

ME: “Oh, shit!  I’m sorry man; I meant to go one floor down…”

HIM: “It’s all good buddy, they having a party down there?  Have fun!”

Pretty nice guy for the situation and it’s a good thing too because three things crossed my mind during this exchange:

1. If he had been 30 years older…he would have shot my black ass before I had a chance to speak.
2. The aftermath would create a shitstorm.  People would say I was just trying to eat pie and I’m an innocent, good dude.  Then the media and Tea Party would dig deeper and discover every awful thing I’ve ever done.  The guy would say I was trying to break in, he feared for his life and acted in self-defense.  Trial goes down, he goes free.  People lose it.  Mass riots everywhere. Chaos.  Anarchy.
3. If he had shot me, the pies would go to waste and I just paid $19.50 apiece for these tasty fuckers.

-

Untangle that.  I dare you.

                       

FRIDAY

            -Mississippi State’s Bulldog mascot was injured yesterday when he was run over by an ESPN Golf Cart.

Rough week for man’s best friend...

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SHOP ON BLACK FRIDAY!

-Saving 20% isn’t worth a broken arm.  But I’m a bitch about holiday shopping so to each their own.

PUT UP CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!

            -Oh wait…most of you sick FREAKS did that the day after Halloween.  You people need help.

WATCH THE IRON BOWL!

            -The annual battle between the worst State in the nation’s marquee universities presents the last realistic chance for a Crimson Tide loss.  SPOILER: THEY WON’T!

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout Out to NFL PARITY!

Look at that chart…you won’t find that in any other sport baby.  Nobody is dominant.  It’s so beautiful and I feel like it’s glowing.

That’s a wrap!  Thank you for your continued support of the Well-Spoken Token.  Enjoy your day off (if you have to work, that really blows) and eat some more. Til next time peeps.

FULL CIRLCE FRIDAY-HOLD IT, NOW HIT IT

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

MONDAY

Please come to my Thanksgiving...pretty please?

            -That face is clearly Chris Paul’s but that leg belongs to Grizzlies Guard Tony Allen who was immediately ejected following this cross-kick.  That off-season training Allen did with Liu Kang must have really paid off.

TUESDAY

-Tracy McGrady…you came on TV with that?

You’ve been in the NBA forever man, I know you got the money, go see a fucking tailor.  You look like you should be on a stage doing stand up with these dudes…

            -Looks like Trevor Ariza is more excited about that new R. Kelly Album dropping next month than I am…

Black Panties!  December 10!  Kells!

WEDNESDAY

            -Blackhawks Owner Bill Wirtz is hawking vials of melted home ice from the team’s Stanley cup season.  Only will run you $99…or you could send the cash to me if you feel the need to waste money on silly things.

Supposedly, all proceeds go to charity and I wish I could tell you which one.  Feed the Homeless? The Wirtz family wallets? Corey Crawford’s contract? Anyway, the New York Rangers tried this sometime back after they won it all and the city is still dealing with the results…

-The Celtics got their asses whipped by the Rockets and Rajon Rondo does NOT find these team stats acceptable.

A pissed off Rajon Rondo equals a happy WST.  Enjoy your team’s suckage.

THURSDAY

            -Saints beat the Falcons 17-13.  Jimmy Graham's end zone celebration ruined a perfectly good goal post and Drew Brees continued to break off his receivers with the randomness of the lottery but fuck all that right now...

Turkey Bowl season is upon us and every year, there’s always that one dude who takes it too seriously, and I just want to let you know everyone hates you.

Come Thanksgiving, I’m just trying to get out, throw the ball around for a couple hours, then go home to smash some turkey, watch some decent NFL games, and pass out. 

That’s tough to do if I’m all busted up because one fucker decided to show thinking he’s JJ Watt.  You see, hard-ass turkey bowl dude, you’re a disease.  The minute other guys see you going balls out; we’re all going to step the physicality up a bit.  I’M NOT GETTING BITCHED ON A HOLIDAY DAMN IT.

            -John Cena in something other than jorts?

I fucking Hate John Cena, but that…that I liked.

                       

FRIDAY

            -Thunder Fan sinks half-court shot, wins 20 Gs and gets dap from Jay-Z.  He’s the second fan to do so this week and the fifth in 22 games.

My theory?  They’re all Harlem Globetrotters in disguise.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SEE THE HUNGER GAMES!

-Don’t get it on bootleg and just drop the $9.50!

GO TO A FRIENDSGIVING PARTY!

            -Like your family’s Thanksgiving only more booze and more food.

WATCH PACQUIAO-RIOS!

            -Pac-Man makes his first return to the ring since getting knocked the fuck out by Juan Manuel Marquez last December.  In fact, that shit was so cold; let’s watch it again….

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout Out to Grange Hall Burger Bar! 

Discovered this place a couple years back…let me tell you their Bourbon Pecan Pies are the business.  Ordered a pair for a couple Friendsgivings this weekend and these fuckers aren’t even PREPARED for the goodness.

Thank you for your continued support of the WST.  Be safe this weekend and next week at Black Wednesday. Drink responsibly my people.

-WST

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-OH MY GOD!

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

MONDAY

-Diabolical Peyton Manning?

He’s got fiendish plans to personally spit on EVERY Papa John’s Pizza…IN THE WORLD!!!!

-It isn’t easy being a Hockey Ref Man…

Such a shame.  He didn’t even get a bedtime story with that.  

TUESDAY

-Lakers Guard Xavier Henry and Pelican Center Jeff Withey were teammates at the University of Kansas…

But I don’t think Withey will be giving out any handshakes or bro-hugs at the next Alumni function.

            -Always dance like no one is watching…

Even when hundreds of people really are.

WEDNESDAY

            -The PERFECT Larry David picture.  Cue the "Curb your Enthusiasm" theme...

At least Justin Bartha and Nelly both look like they're having a good time and at least Larry's sock game is tight.

            -Leslie Barrett has Bell’s Palsy (temporary paralysis on the right side of the face for the unfamiliar) and decided to incorporate it into one of the better Halloween Costumes you’ll see this year.

The great thing is that Leslie’s face will recover.  McKayla Maroney’s?  Not so much.

THURSDAY

            -Colts beat the Titans 30-27 and clinch the AFC South in the process as Super-Nerd, Andrew Luck passed for 232 yards and rushed for one TD, but fuck all that...

I went to a playoff game at my old High School with some friends last weekend and I came to the realization of a couple things…

Things like I should never go to a H.S. Football again...because I watched a bunch of teens play with the same mindset I bring to the pro game, and I’m pretty positive I came away looking like a d-bag.

Ref calls holding or unsportsmanlike conduct?  I start looking around, waiting for him to give me the player’s number so I can scream at the kid.

Pass interference in the end zone?  I’m expecting Mike Pereira to sit down next to me, give me a hot pretzel (it was cold), and explain if the official jagged or not

My Alma matter’s star receiver continually burns DB for the other team?  I start screaming, “GO AFTER NUMBER 12 EVERYTIME!!!!  HE’S SUSPECT, HE”S SOFT!!!!!!!!”

The crazy part is that there was a group of Dads a few rows in front, just looking at me the whole time and nodding their heads in approval.  They have the same problem and wanted to act like jackasses too, but can’t since they had their wives right next to them. 

So the moral of the story is to watch Football at home, it’s just better that way.

            -Texas middle schooler Reginald Wells received a four-hit combo by his assistant math teacher following an incident in which Wells walked up in the hallway, made a joke about the teacher’s favorite NFL team, then pushed the teacher’s shoulder.

When asked why he did it, the teacher stated that he was being bullied, so he just followed the advice offered by every Internet tough guy and slugged the kid. 

No word yet on the teacher’s favorite team.  I’m guessing Texans though.  Oh…and by the way, he’s been fired.           

FRIDAY

            -The PS4 launched at Midnight and Dez Bryant up and walked into a Dallas-area Best Buy and bought five consoles for people in line.

That Dez Bryant…whether it’s rabid video game-freaks or fantasy football owners, he keeps giving til it hurts!

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

COUNTDOWN TO THE HUNGER GAMES!

-First flick was pretty dope and Jennifer Lawrence is BAD so take a break from the movies this week and wait.

WATCH BOARDWALK EMPIRE!

            -Have we seen the fall of Chalky White and the rise of Dr. Valentin Narcisse?  Only two episodes left.

 LISTEN TO SMOOTH R&B!

            -That’s right dammit.  Get a little 112, some Jaheim, maybe a little Avant?

Mellow out.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-out to people who can cook and cook well!  A buddy’s girlfriend has decided to be kind enough to come by the place this Sunday and make some game time snacks for the boys and I. All I need to do provide a clean kitchen and throw in few bucks. 

HOLY SHIT!  JACKPOT! 

I’ve been waiting for this for a couple weeks now because this girl can seriously throw down.  Back in September, she made a homemade Guacamole with lime so good, you’ll do despicable things for it. So I'm kind of counting on seeing some of that Sunday with whatever else she's got up her sleeve.

That’s a wrap.  Be strong when you are weak.  Be brave when you are scared.  Be humble when you are victorious.  Be badass every day.  See you next Friday!

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-RUFF RYDERS ANTHEM

 

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

MONDAY

-RUH-ROWWWWW…

Green Bay’s perfect little QB world just got turned upside down.  More on his replacement later.

-Javonte Douglas is a 6-foot-7 sophomore who plays for the Central Florida Patriots and can also jump out of the gym.  Like not normal jump, I mean head above the rim jump.

I need a bath after that.  I feel dirty.

TUESDAY

-Road Island H.S. Football player Randolph Zleh has a run so sick, it looks likes something right out of Tecmo Superbowl…

So someone just went ahead and gave the footage the Tecmo facelift.

            -Victor Oladipo came out of Indiana as a highly regarded prospect.  However, the Orlando Magic rookie carries some pipes on as well.

Album dropping soon.  I’m thinking Victor OlaDeepSoul for his stage name.  Like it?  I knew you would.  By the way, check out Turtle from Entourage killin it on the Sax.

WEDNESDAY

            -Tiger stopped in Istanbul, Turkey for the Turkish Airlines Open and became the first man to hit a golf ball from Asia to Europe.

And got paid $2.3 Million to do it.  Because no gravy train is complete without a stop in Turkey (drum roll bitches).

            -Hockey crowds are known for throwing beer, hats, octopus, even the occasional bra or tennis ball onto the ice.  But beware gladiators of the puck…SOMETIMES the fans aren’t just content with giving things away, SOMETIMES...THE CROWD TAKES SOMETHING BACK…

Man, these Hockey fans are just the definition of class.  Sorry Adam Pardy.

THURSDAY

            -Vikings beat the Redskins and RGIII 34-27.  Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder-Steele (above) had two TDs apiece…

But fuck that game, Stanford’s beat down of Oregon dominated my television screen last night and I loved it.

 Oregon does this shit every year; coming out of their little walk-in closet with the latest snazzy/ugly uniforms sent over from Nike headquarters and putting 40-plus on chumps with that flag football offense of theirs...until they run into a decent defense and get worked.

Now assuming Alabama and Florida-State don’t piss themselves, we all get the game we wanted to see.  Thanks Cardinal and thank you Coach David Shaw.

                                                                                                                                                             You kind of look like Tiger Woods with a double-chin, but I look forward to seeing you bolt your program for the NFL in a couple years.

            -Lakers beat the Rockets 99-98 on this catch-and-shoot by Guard Steve Blake…

Let’s go into the mind of Steve Black on that play: “KOBE!!!!!!”

FRIDAY

-Cavs Center Andrew Bynum says he’s a shell of his former self and contemplates retirement. It would be kind of depressing, if not for the fact that everyone knows Bynum’s “former self” wasn’t that impressive either.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SEE THOR: THE DARK WORLD!

-Not going to lie, out of all the Avengers, Thor is like their Tito Jackson.  I’m still not missing out on this flick.

WATCH STEVEN SEAGAL MOVIES!

            -Enjoy that shit!?  AMC has a full weekend of movies featuring the impeccably dressed badass. 

 STAY THE HELL INSIDE!

            -Outside of a movie, it’s too cold for any other shit.  Get some Swiss-Miss Hot Chocolate, order some breakfast (I tip nicely if the delivery man gets out of his damn car) and kick your feet up.  Your liver has been good to you; give it the rest it deserves.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout Out to Seneca Wallace! I still can’t get over the fact that this dude has managed to stay on an active NFL roster for 10 years!  So crafty!

That’s a wrap. Thanks for your support of the WST.  Whatever your do, always leave them wanting more.

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-SYMPHONY 2000!

  

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

MONDAY

-Uncle Drew hits the city of wind with his friends, Lights and Betty Lou…

Impressive Drew, but what do you do when real old people see this and try to dunk like you...hope you like getting sued.

-No more DWPs (Driving With Pizza) for Nate Burleson as popular frozen pizza company DiGiorno’s gave him a year’s supply of pies.  If you recall, Burleson crashed his GMC Yukon and broke his arm when he tried to play hero to two large pies.

In related news…Nate has also changed his last name to DiGiorno

TUESDAY

            -Basketball is Back!  You know who else is back?  Derrick Rose! Finally, “THE RETURN!” CHICAGOOOOOOO…WAIT…OH SHIT…

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Yeah…it was officially that kind of night…sill love ya though #1

            -Check out the monkey shit going on here from Shorewood (Ore.) High School Football's "Wrecking Ball" play.

Bananas ain’t it?

WEDNESDAY

            -RED SOX WIN! RED SOX WIN!  THE BOSTON RED SOX WIN IN BOSTON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1918 AND I HATE HOW THEY BRING IT TO ENHANCE THE MEANING OF THE WIN!

            -So you got that?  We all witnessed history because none of us were alive in 1918.  NONE OF US BRO!!!!  FUCKING NONE!

            -Point Guard Jrue Holiday thanked the fans for showing up to the Sixers opener.  Unfortunately, Jrue was in New Orleans…with the Pelicans…who he now plays for.

Coincidentally, his family got together to celebrate Christmas yesterday and goes Trick or Treating on Thanksgiving.

THURSDAY

            -The Dolphins beat the Bengals 22-20 as Andy Dalton continues to prove my theory that he’s just the ginger-faced version of Matt Schaub.

Let’s talk about Dolphins Tackle Jonathan Martin though…I mean what the fuck?  I guess he’s been excused from the team because he’s being bullied (ESPN’s words, not mine) by some of his teammates.

 On Monday, Martin freaked out and left the team facility after some of the Dolphins pulled that old High School prank of getting up and leaving the table just as the mark sits down. 

 Honestly I don’t know what to make of this because there’s just something strange to me about all of this…except that the 24 year-old Jonathan Martin is 6’5, 312 pounds, and a paid professional Offensive Lineman. Maybe, he’s just a real fragile dude, but I’m just saying if  you're that big, and someone is really giving you that rough of a time, you have everything you need to handle it yourself.

-Happy Halloween!  Baby Andy Reid Loves you!  As you as you feed him anyway.

FRIDAY

-This needs to happen.

If the Kardashians can get on TV and be successful…then this one is a slam-dunk.

WEEKEND WATCH!

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

SEE ENDERS GAME!

-I keep hearing that the book was great, plus it features big names like Harrison Ford and Sir Ben Kingsley.  So naturally…it will be awful

SEE LAST VEGAS!

            -DeNiro, Freeman, Pacino and Kline hit Vegas to party like young folks.  It’s funny since being an old Geezer in Vegas really consists of 4 p.m. Dinner Buffets and slot machines.

WATCH BEARS-PACKERS!

            -If you’re a Bears fan, it helps to have at least a  of booze next to you.

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout Out to the Oak Park-River Forest H.S. Football team!  Corny, but fuck you, it’s my blog.  

The Huskies finished their season 8-1 (2^nd in conference) and go into the playoffs tonight under the lights against the Dundee-Crown Chargers. I’ll be on hand to check it out and freeze my ass off in the process.

You’re still at work?  Go home!  It’s Friday!
