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

Recognizing whomever the hell I want!
Show's over! Parting is such sweet sorrow. If this is empty...
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.

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