“I think it’s too early to panic about Gary
Sheffield,” he said. “If this guy gets on a
roll, we’re going to be a real good
offensive club.”

room and point at me and be like, ‘Shut
the fuck up’ and I’d be like, okay Prince,
whatever you say, man.”

Video: Kanye West – Homecoming (Official)
Here is the newest video from Kanye West, off of his album Graduation.
Honestly, I had no idea there was even a video for this song until today, but apparently it’s been out for a least a little while…
I really like this song…it’s one of my favorites off of the album.
Chris Martin’s piano riff is awesome (I’m a big Coldplay fan in general).
But I think my favorite part is one of Kanye’s lyrics in the last verse:
“Reach for the stars so if you fall, you land on a cloud”
Good stuff right there…

Quote of the Day: 4/22
“We have to go out and play 48 minutes,
especially now (because of) the way the
season ended the last couple years. We
can’t turn it on and turn it off. We have to
come out there and play 48 minutes.”
- Rip Hamilton of the Detroit Pistons
^^^The pic explains it all in my opinion…

Obama Gets The Boss’ Approval
It looks like Bruce Springsteen has pledged his public support for Barack Obama. Here’s what he had to say…
“At the moment, critics have tried to diminish Senator Obama through the exaggeration of certain of his comments and relationships,” said the New Jersey native, in a statement posted on his Web site Wednesday. “While these matters are worthy of some discussion, they have been ripped out of the context and fabric of the man’s life and vision… Over here on E Street, we’re proud to support Obama for President.”
In February, Springsteen stated a few reasons to USA Today as to why he likes Obama:
“I always look at my work as trying to measure the distance between American promise and American reality,” he told the paper. “And I think (Obama’s) inspired a lot of people with that idea: How do you make that distance shorter?”
Let ‘em know Boss!

Video: Kobe Jumps Over Aston Martin
Here’s the Kobe Bryant commercial for the new Nike Hyperdunks…
Pretty impressive jump huh?
Or is it? Take a look at it again, this time with a slowed down version…
If you take a look at the shadows, the car appears to be a bit to the side.
Even though this is just an optical illusion (pretty damn sure Kobe wouldn’t risk his career for a Nike commercial, nor would the Lakers be happy about this) it is still proof that he in fact could jump over a speeding car if need be.

Quote of the Day: 4/9
“One of three things needs to happen to
this team. Either A, they have to throw a
shutout, two, someone has to come up
with a clutch hit to win a game for them
or three, someone on their team needs
to get hit by a pitch where the guys
might think it’s intentional and spark
some bad blood that way.”
- ESPN analyst John Kruk on the Detroit Tigers

Quote of the Day: 4/8
“There’s been a lot of talk of change
in this election year,” he said. “It remains
my belief that change is not made by
politicians, but by people. No matter
who is elected, we do not abdicate our
responsibility to take action, to organize,
to struggle and to push who is in office
to make change on the ground. You
can’t wait and hope your vote will turn
the system around. You need to take
action where you live and where you
work.”
-Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine
