FUNNY COMMERCIAL!!!

I found this commercial on nicekicks.com, one of my favorite sites. I have always believed that the marketing of Nike has been the best. From Mars Blackmon to Lil Penny, Nike commercials have always been classic and this commercial far exceeds my already high expectations! Here it is, Hyper Dunk Recovery Center-

Favre from over?!?!?

If you pay attention to any kind of news, then I'm pretty sure that you've heard, seen or read something about NFL Legend, Brett Favre. If not, I will give you the rundown. After a year(NFL Season) of breaking almost every quarterback record known to man, Favre decided to hang up the cleats forever and retire a Green Bay Packer Legend. Here's his retirement speech. Please watch before you continue reading. Wow, somebody get this guy a Kleenex.....EMBARRASSING! No but seriously, that was his retirement speech and I would hope that he is a man of his word. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In the past month, there have been rumors about Favre making a return to football. But as the weeks have passed, the plot has thickened and this once respected career, in my mind, now seems like a ring around the rosie circus act (and not even a Barnum and Bailey act either), and I, THE POLR EXPRESS, am SICK OF IT!!!! I can accept a player retiring. I can even tolerate an early retirement such as Michael Jordan's 1st retirement in 1993. You see, he had a reason to retire (death of his father) AND we all knew that he was not done playing basketball! But I have a personal disdain for those who retire and should stay retired, and that includes you too Michael! You see its one thing to retire and have a whole season dedicated to your legacy and stay retired(Cal Ripken, Michael Jordan('98), Reggie Miller, well, you get the idea), but it is another thing to retire and then toy with your teammates and LOYAL fans emotions as Favre has done. He has even taken a cheap shot at the Packers management, like they were in the wrong for not granting him a release from the team and offering him a contract to come back as a backup quarterback. I mean, seriously, "What are you thinking Brett?!". Can I be honest for one second?! Listen, I understand that you are a Hall of Fame quarterback, but can you really blame the Packers management for wanting to save your selfish, OLD %^$ from embarrassing yourself, injury, and many other things that could happen and would taint your legacy if you came back?! No, you really can't Brett, you really can't.... After your teary, emotional, "cry me a river" retirement speech, the Packers decided that it was time to move on and we all know that Aaron Rodgers is a worthy candidate to take over the reigns as the Packers QB. Now if it is tearing Favre up inside and he is as he put it, "guilty of retiring too early", then I believe that he should just leave the Packers alone and move on to another team, maybe his original team (yes there was a team before the Packers), the Atlanta Falcons would take him back, since they do need a quarterback (that's a whole different story that I wanted to write, but a friend and fellow blogger beat me it! Its a great read!) Or he could go to the Minnesota Vikings, who desperately need a quarterback, since they have a JOKE at quarterback. What's his name?! Yea, exactly! Anyways, I'm tired of Brett Favre and his antics. Hmmm, Sportsman of the Year?!?! I think not....

I Need U Bad

Ok, so I'm really big on music so I'm going to make it my DUTY to put you on to whoever is hot ok. I'm pretty sure you've heard of this artist that I am about to show you, but if you haven't heard of her, then please, PLEASE, get on your stuff!!!! Jazmine Sullivan has been on the music scene for a minute, but now she has finally found her home at J Records. This young lady has captured my heart with her soulful sound, and moving lyrics. I first heard her doing her R&B version of Lil Wayne mixtapes, which is singing over other artists tracks, and making us not ever want to hear the original version ever again! SERIOUSLY! If you don't believe me, check out her version of Andre 3000's Prototype or Beyonce's Resentment! Anyways, here is her first single, Need U Bad. Enjoy! Oh yea, mark your calendars for her debut album release, September 16, 2008, FEARLESS.

Long time no see!

Hello everybody! I know I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now! Things have been pretty rough these past couple of weeks, but now everything is on the up and up (I think). I know I did the entire Finals, and look out for me to cover Team USA as they chase gold, but also look out for me to cover more topics other than sports. A lot is going on out in our world, and I want to give my view on everything that I possibly can ok. Later.
