Monday Morning S--t Storm

Do you like sports?

Do you like movies?

Do you like music?

If you do this shit storm is for you.

We're looking for some great songs on sports movie soundtracks.

Now I know Icehouse and Vitustinitus are going to bring some thunder and Im taking a wild stab at what Zack is going to put in, so I'm going to share this little gem from one of my favorite movies, Blue Chips.

The song is the blues classic "Baby Please Don't Go" originally recorded by Big Joe Williams. However, in Blue Chips the song is performed by Them. To set up the scene, coach Pete Bell is facing pressure from the media, boosters and the Administration. So he sets out to recruit the best class in college basketball. A player agent turn him onto Neon Bodeaux, played by Shaquille O'Neal. Starting at the 1:20 mark is the first time Nolte see's Neon.



Maybe not the best, but still a gem.

In other news, if you're into fashion, decor, or happened to find this site on your significant other's history you may want to check out our good buddy's blog at www.shabbychicblonde.com Even if you're like me and think fashion trend equates to sweats with or without elastic legs, and decor is a nice beer sign, there are some good links to articles that will help you get through the work week. The Ghost takes care of his own.

Alright music time, shit storm begin.

Monday Morning S--t Storm

Oh dear god.

Ok that weekend got a little crazy. My head hurts a bit, and I have an odd stain on my shirt. Only two things can fix this. Breakfast, and the Shitstorm.

We're late with the shitstorm but it's a good one. Today we are going to compare Public figures and sports teams/individuals. It might be hard, but I think the Hobbers are good enough to pull this off.

We're looking for stuff like this.

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) and GRH favorite, Mike Leach.




So let's see, both kinda wired differently, both somewhat contrarian in their views, can rub people the wrong way sometimes, both have higher IQ's than their colleagues....Sounds about right.

Ok so that was just one, we should be able to get crazy on this one.

Local Mississippi Athletes Woefully Unprepared For Actual Season Due to Favre Workouts

HATTIESBURG — Parents, booster clubs and athletic organizations have "had it up to here with that Brett Favre guy," according to reports saying that high school and DII-college athletes are woefully unprepared for their upcoming seasons due to the hours put in running the retired-QB's work out routine.

"I mean, we're trying to get these guys ready for STATE," said Oak Grove High School Football Coach Lou Tubbs. "They're out there fiddle-fartin' around with Favre. Just lolly-gaggin' and fiddle-fartin'."

"Hell, we'll be lucky to take district, let alone STATE."

Some of the athletes are admitting some of their frustration at Favre's demands to not only learn pro-style routes, but also maintain pro-style speeds and strengths, and subjecting themselves to pro-style punishments for lack of hustle.

"I can barely tie my shoes let alone learn two systems of offense," said WR Will Hoofman, who also doubles as the team's noseguard, displaying his cleats completely surrounded with layers of duct tape he says he puts on daily to secure his footwear.

"He tried to fine me $400,000 for missing practice. I've never seen $400,000 in person," said sophomore WR Danny Koehler.

"My fingers hurt," said RB Jeremy Collins, who was recruited by Farve to attend mandatory workouts along with receivers to give Favre that "wildkitty thing all them teams are doin'."

"He knows no kid in their right mind is going to turn down Brett Favre to work out," said Collins. "I just wish he wouldn't come hang out with us at the bowling alley on Friday nights. He graduated junior high with my dad."

Monday Morning Shit Storm

Bad. Ass. Superbowl. It wasn't the best ever, but I'm pretty sure it had four of the most insane plays you'll ever see in that game. See sometimes the GAME can be exciting.

But football is over, I'm going cold turkey, until this afternoon when I start thinking about the draft and tweaking an under front to accommodate quarters...there I go again.

Today's shit storm is going to deal with pork. No not the Bacon Explosion, I'm talking pork barrel spending.


We won't go into politics, but suffice it to say that some of these earmarks are downright hilarious.

(Still don't know why the Lattimer foundation for the economic advancement of Lattimer, has yet to receive any type of help)

Anyway I was thinking, what would it look like if we started earmarking sports.

For Example: If I was in power I would most definitely set aside $20 Million for Virginia Tech football passing game development.


Don't get me wrong play action passes and "throw to the fast guy" are cool, but we could use a little help.

So for the shit storm, imagine we have a bill, and we want to stuff that thing with as much sports pork as possible.

What we need:
1. Amount of money.
2. Sports related.
3. Purpose. (make up a foundation or something)

And as always take your flame wars elsewhere.

Ok, let's earmark this mother.

"Which professional athlete talks dirty in the third person? Many of his A-list conquests have had to endure "Yeah, [blank] likes it like that!"

Now on to the rules:

Has to be an athlete.

Have to use third person.

If you use something like "Roger" please designate which Roger.

And of course we want it to be funny.

Example:

"Annnnnd Kobe takes it to the hole."
