Listen To Wesley Snipes.....

As if I haven't broadcasted it enough, I am headed to Las Vegas tomorrow night.

Never been. Don't know what to expect. Headed with seven good buddies. Packed a suit. Here we go.....

Numerous individuals have given me advice, and recommendations for my preparation heading into Sin City. While all have been great and I will follow most, none have inspired me more than the words of Wesley Snipes in the cinematic classic, Passenger 57 -

Want to know an awesome fact? - I wore #57 in high school football, because of this movie.

I also plan on being firmly planted in a sports book on New Years Day? Any game wagers I should be looking at?

Oh, and....

This will prob be my last post before I return on Jan 4th. So, Happy New Year!

But, more importantly......

HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Also, Go Bengals (ick) Go Patriots (barf barf barf barf barf) and Go Raiders (double ick). Not being able to "control your own destiny," sucks. But, that's what happens when you lose to the Browns......

Keep the Faith!

Picture, videos, and blogs to follow - post Vegas. Did I mention I will be attending the World Series Of Beer Pong? Boom. Stay Tuned.

Merry Christmas


Hope you and yours have a super, awesome, and most excellent holiday season!



Now go pretend you like that sweater.....


Go Steelers.

GENO!


Christmas came early for us Pens fans, last night (that was a very un-original opening sentence. Please note that I have acknowledge this).
The Penguins Power Play, and Evgeni Malkin erupted in an 8-2 win, over the hated Ottawa Senators [Box Score].
Geno went off, recording the fourth "Hat Trick" of his career and leading the Pens resurgence on the power play.
They tend to celebrate Christmas a bit different in Russia with numerous fictional characters, like this guy, but I have a feeling Geno and the boys will be sipping on some Egg Nog this evening.
There is really no thesis to this post or any content worth telling your friends about. Just a reminder that the Penguins are still the most dangerous team in the NHL when both Geno and Sid are healthy. Impossible to argue that.
Merry Christmas Eve!
I'll be back later today, spreading my Yule Tide all over your face.....

The Guido Take Over

I've always said the key to life is laughing at yourself (read my memoirs).....

Thus, I am glad to see that the greasy-haired, Italian punch-lines, on The Jersey Shore, have started to laugh and embrace their goofy lifestyles.

They're everywhere. You can't go on the Internet or turn on late night TV, without seeing the cast of the greatest reality television show of all time.

(Yes. It has now claimed the prestigious title of "Greatest Reality TV Show." I mean, I would have never discovered the "fist pump," if it weren't for this program..... )

Anyways.......this made me laugh. If you're near a bottle of tequila - do a shot every time you hear "The Situation."

You'll be flexing your abs in no time....

This Will Definitely Happen.....

It was announced today that the Manny Pacquiao - Floyd Mayweather fight has been tentatively rendered as "cancelled."

There are many things certain in life -

1. Taxes
2. The Cleveland Browns playing under .500 football.
3. Nacho cheese can be substituted for any other condiment.
-and-
4. Money will end all arguments.

With these rules of society in place (yeah they're mine - so what?) I have no doubt in my mind that the Pac Man - Money May fight will definitely happen.

No, not because Mayweather is a huge fan of nacho cheese........but because the amount of money both fighters will make will settle any argument about test's, etc.

Am I wrong? Is the biggest fight of our generation in jeopardy because one of the fighters is a afraid that a blood test will ruin his training regiment?

I say, nay.

Just a little reminder so yinz don't get your panies in a bunch. This will fight will happen. All is right in the world......

ps: Radio silence is over - I got all my Christmas shopping done. Decade "stuff," coming tomorrow and throughout the final weeks of '09.

Look Familiar?





Wow.

503 passing yards....

A Game winning catch with 0.0 seconds remaining.....

Playoff hopes still alive.....

An onside kick with the lead.....(????)

A non reliable Steelers defense....(really, they're brutal)

A one point win, scoring 37 points, against the second best defense in the league....

5 game losing streak, snapped......

The NFL is so unpredictable.

(Example #2 - JaMarcus Russell won a football game.....)

At least for now, we can still dream of playing in the Playoffs. Thanks to Big Ben, the guy who holds on to the ball too long.....

Yeah. He should stop that....



More tomorrow. Join the party over at OFTOT, now.

Christmas came early, GO Steelers!

......Of The Decade

Since most of the content on this here blog has been un-original and inspired by other blog scribes, I will be conforming to the blogging guidelines of America and compiling my "Best __ Of The Decade" lists, throughout the next seven to ten days (?).

Don't expect it to be your normal "Best Movies" or "Best Songs" (I listen to Steely Dan and quote Wayne's World). I will be providing you with different categories and different opinions from the year of the "auts."

Expect to be jabbed in the face with greatness.

Saturday Happy Hour (yesterday was a busy day in Bristol, get off me) and McCarty's Picks are on the way. Hold on to your horses....

Because I Know You Did Not See This....

I am going to safely assume that around .000067% of my readers watch Memphis Grizzlies basketball games. Therefore, I proudly present to you former Pitt Panther, Sam Young, doing his best Dominque Wilkins impression last night.........


"Sam Young - making Memphis Grizzlie basketball watchable, since 2009."

Let's Go PITT!!
