Videos From the Motherland

Well, I just saw this video of 4 Filipinos reacting to the top 15 finalists for the Miss Universe padgent. After the Philippines was announced, this is what occured.



I am just ashamed and speechless. That guys voice is so high, it's deafening. And over Miss Universe? Imagine if Miss Philippines actually won the damn thing.

Well, to make myself feel better and more manly, here are all the knockouts by the baddest flip on the planet, Manny Pacquaio

3rd Album - Childish Gambino - Culdusac

The 3rd album I can't stop listening to this month is Childish Gambino's Culdesac. I'm pretty sure most if not all of you have not even heard of him. If I told you his real name is Donald Glover, then maybe a few of you would know. If I told you he was the black guy from "Community" then maybe most of you would know who I'm talking about. Anyway, I came across this article from the LA Times about him and his success with writing for Tina Fey on "30 Rock," along with his "Community" success (which along with "Modern Family," the best two new comedies that debuted last year) and his up and coming stand-up comedian career.

In this article, it describes how he wanted to try rapping and his fellow co-stars Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie (one of my personal faves) persuaded him to pursue it and he did. He released a couple of mix tapes early this year and last year but I decided to download his new album Culdesac. Glover, uh Childish Gambino, uses clever lyrics over some sweet beats and I can go through the whole album without skipping a song. I think it blends in and flows very well. Sure his voice is a little whiny or high pitched, but I think the overall word play and easy to nod beats are good enough to over come it.

You can download or stream all of Culdesac here.

Some Recommended Songs (but all of them are pretty good from beginning to end):





Also, he got the name Childish Gambino by plugging his name into the Wu-Tang Name Generator. Try it yourself.

John Legend & the Roots First Single

John Legend and the Roots have collaborated before but they are releasing a whole album together on September 21st. Here is the new video from their single, "Wake Up."



Yes, very uplifting. I'm a John Legend fan. He's smooth and chicks love him. I remember seeing him perform and every girl had glossy eyes that you see in those cheesy high school flicks. I'm hoping this is a good album and hope he has at least one or two faster paced songs like my favorite John Legend song, Green Light. Him and Andre 3000 together. A combo of swag, bravado and overall smoothness. Tell me you wouldn't want to go to this party and I'd call you a lair.

More Dancing with Wall, Cousins and Gallon

Yesterday most of the NBA rookies took their NBA rookie shoot. I guess photo shoots can take long so they all had to entertain themselves. Here rookies Tiny Gallon, Demarcus "Boogie" Collins and John Wall get down to "Teach Me How to Dougie" to pass the time. Look at Demarcus' moves. Big man can get down. Guess that's why he was picked so high.

The Dro Report Presents...Locker Room Dancing

Hard Knocks new season debuted last Wednesday. So I was browsing through old clips and here is Safety Bernard Pollard showing how Fort Wayne does it.



Then I discovered this video of Jaguar Rookie Linebacker Kyle Bosworth (nephew of NFL Bust Brian Bosworth) winning a dance-off against a fellow teammate.


I love the reaction of the teammates in both videos, it's like I'm at the And 1 tour in Rucker Park.

11 Year Old Kid Breaks Arm Running to 3rd Base

Easy enough. Kid runs to 3rd base, picks it up and runs back to left field. Easy enough. Instead he stumbles and breaks his arm in front of 30,000 people. Give Beecher credit, he tried to walk it off.

Rex Ryan Makes Me Want to Root for the Jets

It's 2008. Gibbs retires. The Redskins need a head coach. After going through countless of candidates, we go with Jim Zorn. He had ZERO coaching experience. Not even one year of being an offensive coordinator. We settle with Zorn and after a half year of positive results, it goes to shit as the team unravels with a lack of discipline, talent and eventually becomes an overall embarrassment. One coach who we didn't not interview was Rex Ryan. His defense was a monster in Baltimore. He was around football all his life with his dad Buddy Ryan leading the way. At the time, the Skins defense was good but the Danny wanted more offense. It's too bad because with his hire of an "offensive guy" he sacrificed discipline, swagger, bravado and charisma. The "intangibles" of being a head coach. You can be a great X and O's guy but if you don't have the belief of the team, you already have lost. (See Lions, Detroit game last year). Look at this clip from yesterday's show. To put it in Rex's terms, I'd run through a fucking brick wall for that guy.





Note: I still love the Skins and am glad we hired Shanahan.

Foul Ball Hit Towards Couple, Boyfriend Bails

Out in Houston, a foul ball gets hit towards this couple. The boyfriend sees the ball coming and saves his girlfriend by getting in front of the ball. Well that's how he envisioned it. Instead he completely wimped out and bailed and the girl gets hit by the foul ball. Who said chivalry was dead?

A Great Moment in Jumbotron Mixup

Stolen from Drew Magary's funbag in deadspin, I have an email and a video of the explanation.

Jeremy:

I'm a season ticket holder of the Spokane Shock, an Arena Football League team. I know, save the arena football season ticket holder jokes for after my story.

Well I was at one of the games in April with my brother and decided to head up to the concourse to get myself a tasty beverage. Heading up the stairs, I heard the announcer announce my section over the P.A. I stopped in the middle of the stairs and looked at the jumbotron, and saw myself standing there on camera. So I did the only logical thing I could think of and danced for the camera and all the cheering fans around the stadium.

So I'm dancing, the cheers are getting louder, and I'm loving all this camera attention. Eventually, I start to wonder why the camera is staying on me for so long, so I take a closer look at the jumbotron. Behind me, on his knee, is a dude proposing to his girlfriend. Immediately, I shamefully turn and head quickly up the stairs. Most people didn't even know what was going on until I got out of the way. A couple days after the game, one of my coworkers found this video on Youtube.

Apparently, they had some friends at the game on the other side of the arena taping the whole thing on the jumbotron. I felt like the biggest douchebag, so I had to contact them on Youtube and apologize. They were cool about it, but for some reason I haven't received an invitation to the wedding. Here's the video.



I can't stop laughing at the guy dancing and the moment he realizes the video is not him and hightails the F out of there. I don't know pretty funny, right? Right? It is. Maybe it's more funny because it's 3:18 on a Wednesday afternoon in my office.

Colt Brennan Cut, Life Goes On.

3rd String QB and fan favorite Colt Brennan was cut today. I think Skins fans liked him because a) the 2 preseason games in 2008 that he played well b) he was boys with Cooley which made chicks like him and c) he was popular in college when he led Hawaii to the Sugar Bowl. In college, he was kicked out of Colorado for rape (alleged!) and transferred to Hawaii where he kicked ass. I remember the one game he played against Washington where Hawaii was down 28 or so and scored 28 unanswered to win. That and the Sean Taylor tribute. Reading reports that he lost arm strength, Colt is probably done at the NFL level, maybe he can stick around and be Cooley's blogger or Yes man.
