I moved the music player down to the bottom of the page. That way, you can listen to all the songs I have rather than just the first 5 or so. Please use that player; those songs are MONEY.

Photos of the Day - June 6, 2008

Dude, Coco Crisp has some mad fightin' skills.He should talk to Kimbo Slice and get in on this MMA action.
Never mind. Crisp got his dumb face punched in by Jonny Gomes.He apparently got his hair pulled, too.
I personally wouldn't touch Coco's hair if you paid me --
I still think they might actually be little worms.
Anyone else think its bright in here?Just me? Ok, ok...
I bet this kid wore the same get-up when the Celtics were 24-58.God, Boston fans are annoying.
Got any of that good shit left, hombre?Hypothetical NBA College 3-on-3 Tournament
In the spirit of an NBA Finals where the two highest profile players went from high school to the NBA, I'm having a hypothetical 3-on-3 tournament of active NBA players grouped by undergrad university on my website.
YOU help me to determine which matchup would win each game. You can determine it any way you like: school preference, player preference, biases, whatever, just make sure you explain your reasoning.
Here are the teams, chosen by me, using only my discretion. I'm sure there will be those who disagree with my choices of schools and players, but these are the teams I made, so who would win?
Click to get a full-sized bracket
The schedule is as follows:
6/6: WFU v. GTown
6/9: Arizona v. tO$U
6/10: UConn v. UNC
6/11: Kansas v. Duke
6/12: W1 v. W2
6/13: W3 v. W4
6/16: Championship
So, for today, who would win:
WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY versus GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY?
Leave your answer and reasoning in the comments.

"Sex And The City"
Yes, I surprised the girlfriend with tickets to see SATC last night. Yes, I sat through it. Yes, I'm still alive to talk about it.
It is what it is. Two hours and twenty-five minutes of women crying, wedding planning, talk of waxing and babies and shoes, girls bonding and getting pissed at each other. Is she... Will they...
Go see it if you're a fan of the show, a girl, or dating someone that will like it. The bonus points you'll get from going to see it are worth the 145 minute movie. At least, I'm banking on that.

Not So Fast, My Friend...
The AP reported today that Hillary Clinton was ready to concede that Obama had the delegates necessary to take the Democratic nomination. Apparently, they were wrong, as Clinton's camp says that she is "not prepared" to admit anything.
After the final primaries conclude today, Obama will inevitably be short of the required delegate number, but could be pushed farther into clinching territory by the superdelegates that will make up their damn minds after the results come in tonight. Either way, Clinton will have the argument that Obama does not have control of the nomination until the convention, as she claims to have "won" the popular vote.
Although I faintly admire Hil-dog's determination to stay in the race, I think that her argument is a slimy, underhanded, and manipulative one. Nowhere does it say that popular vote matters at all in American elections (Al Gore will back me up on that). Its like entering a game and then trying to change the rules when you lose. She knew that the nomination was based on delegates when she started, and now that she can't win with them, she claims that the popular vote should be the determining factor. If I was Obama, I'd claim that majority of geriatric minorities should be the deciding factor, because that is just as arbitrary as Clinton's claim.
Bottom line: you knew what you needed to do when you started, you didn't do it, you lost, move on. But Clinton can't move on, because this is her only shot. If she's not electable in 2008, she's certainly not electable in 2012 (if a 'Pub gets the White House) or 2016 (if Obama wins). It could go Clinton-Clinton-Obama-Obama as President, but not the other way around. So while I respect her bulldoggedness (and understand it from a logical point of view), its a losing argument and is accomplishing nothing but tarnishing her already rusty reputation.
However, don't interpret this as pro-Obama sentiment. I have alot of problems with that sonofabitch too. But thats for another day.
Sidenote: When Huckabee stayed in after losing, people called him stupid. When Hillary stays in after losing, people call her noble. Interesting.

New Poll
New poll is up. Voting closes at the end of June.
If you have questions or comments, leave them on this post. If you have an answer not listed, leave it on this post. If you have an idea for next month's poll, leave it on this post.
Poll Results
50% of you answered correctly when you chose Bobby Flay as your chef of choice from The Food Network. Not only will you get a perfectly grilled steak, but you'll also get grilled salad, grilled veggies, and grilled dessert (whatever that is). That guy can GRILL!
Whoever answered Paula Dean should just go to any good home-cooking restaurant south of Virginia. Its pretty much the same food, without that annoying bat pestering you.
And having Rachel Ray cook you dinner is like choosing some campfire cooking expert. Sure, its probably good, but if you can choose from anyone, why would you choose the one who cuts corners?
UP NEXT: I don't know yet. I'll think of one soon. Write suggestions in the comments. Please.
Since When Is MTV Shy About Weed?
At the MTV Movie Awards last night, James Franco and Seth Rogan presented the award for Best Lighting Design To Accentuate Someone's Boobs (or something as equally stupid, I guarantee it) when they apparently smoked a joint on stage.
I was watching the show when this happened, and MTV pulled their cameras really far away from the shot, leaving viewers with a strange floating-over-the-stage sensation . Much like the one felt by Rogan and Franco shortly thereafter.
By the way, is there anyone out there as one-dimensional as Seth Rogan? I swear, that guy can only play one character: himself. I liked Knocked Up as much as the next guy, but I don't think Rogan was doing anything special in that movie besides playing the same character he always does. We just hadn't seen him headline a film before. Mark my words: Pineapple Express will be Knocked Up Rogan all over again. You just wait.
