Embrace the Weekend.......

We've got a great lineup of college and pro football, the Red Sox playing to keep their season alive tonight, and the whole time we will all be anxiously waiting for the association to tip off in 10 days. I love this time of year.

Here are my week 7 picks

Here is Babcock's Take 5

Here are some sick Michael Jordan highlights:

Jesse Michaels Talks NBA

I didn't really know how I felt about the roomofzen signing up for a myspace account. I'm not really familiar with the site, and I've really only heard about it on news stories about perverts preying on young children. Needless to say, it's one of those things I could do without. But, since joining, I have come to learn that it is a really cool way to get in touch with music. Almost every band has a site (even some of the old favorites like Slayer). In particular, I spend a lot of time reading Jesse Michaels' blog posts. Artistically, he is a hero of ours. Recently, Riley and I had a serious Operation Ivy jam session in which we drank white russians heavily and discussed many worldly matters. Anyways, Michaels recently posted that the Celtics are his favorite team. This made me feel great obviously, and I loved some of the things he said.

In particular:

"Kevin Garnett is the most earnest, and emotionally rooted player of all time (or one of the most if you will)."

and

"Paul Pierce is all heart and guts."

Sick.

So badass:

Welcome Back Bill Buckner

Great move by the Sox to have Buckner back to throw out the first pitch. This guy was a great player, and he was much deserving of that ovation. Let's remember, this team is still yet to lose on American soil, and frankly I'm not worried in the least. The energy feels great right now, and I think these guys are about to go on a tear.

I'd like to pass on and agree with this thought from Gary in Deerfield (sent in on Monday): "Listening to Dennis and Callahan this morning the day after Charlton Heston died is worse than the day Reagan died. At least Reagan was the President."

--I agree Gary, I had them on for 15 minutes that morning, and ten of those minutes were spent on the movie Ben-Hur. From what I heard, that sounds like a movie I might skip.


Great to know there's still footage like this out there:



And, while we have videos involving Jesse Michaels, Common Rider was also sick, Last Wave Rockers is a solid album...
