So as we wait for picks to come in during the 2016 Draft, I thought I'd touch on a few random items to keep us occupied:
1.) Reportedly in college, Peyton Manning placed his dong and balls on top of a female athletic trainers head. Then he went Ryan Braun/Lance Armstrong style and bashed the character of the victim to protect his innocence. (To the melody of the Nationwide jingle: That will hurt his legacy.) Now, there are two sides to every story, and we've only heard one side... But that's a very bad side.
2.) Reportedly, Kanye West is 58 Million dollars in debt. Unless the government implemented an Ego-Tax, I'm not sure how someone like him could be that much in debt. Then, following the Michael Jordan philosophy that you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, the Gay Fish reached out to Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg, hoping he could borrow money from him. My guess is this, coupled with West composing more 'look at me, I want attention' tweets this week than a 15 year girl, is all part of a marketing ploy since his new album is about to be released. West appears to be fitting in well with the Kardashian/Jenner family already, showing he's willing to do anything for attention, fame, and money.
3.) Hands Like Houses new album 'Dissonants' comes out next Friday. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Although I'm also a little nervous for them to follow up 'Unimagine' which might be one of the best albums ever recorded. Anyway, here's one of the new single's from the best thing to come out of Australia not named Margot Robbie.
Hands Like Houses
Margot Robbie
4.) Pitchers and Catchers report to Spring Training this week!!!!
5.) Rubio on Repeat - For anyone who doesn't follow election coverage, Marco Rubio had a glitch last week during the New Hampshire debate where he used the same answer 3 times in a row and 5 times in total. While I still like Rubio, it was a bad look. Below is an exageration (these weren't really the questions).
Q: Marco, who do you think will win the final season of American Idol?
A: "Let's dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to change this country."
Q: Marco, have you watched The People vs O.J. Simpson? Pretty good, huh?
A: "Let's dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to change this country."
Q: Marco, do you think Steve Avery is innocent?
A: "Let's dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to change this country."
6.) We are currently 26 days away from Selection Sunday. I follow college basketball as close as I follow any sport, so March Madness is essentially a holiday for me. I've already put in for 2 vacation days during the first round of the tournament.
7.) During the Super Bowl, the camera showed the Manning family celebrating when it became obvious that Peyton Manning was going to win his 2nd Super Bowl. And while everyone else celebrated like normal humans, Eli looked like a kid that shows up to class and realizes he has a test that he didn't study for. Which of course reminded me a Mack and Charlie from Always Sunny in this clip:
8.) Finally, it has nothing to do with baseball, or really any current event but I saw this this week and loved it. (It's pretty much only going to make sense to anyone who watched The Wire).
