roll, we’re going to be a real good

offensive club.”

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
