Sometime around a year ago (to my knowledge), a Youtube phenomenon by the name of "T-Dub" broke onto the scene as a 5'9" hooper with super hops. And when I say super, I mean SUPER. Apparently he was just in another dunk contest and showed off his ability to jump higher than any man I have ever seen. He's like Nate Rob mixed with Nique mixed with a little J.R. Rider in his prime.
The last two dunks (1:40-1:55) are bananas.
I'm not so sure about his mission to get to the league though.
BC with the assist.

Nike Vandal Low - Spider Web
Not a bad idea a la the AF-1 Bird's Nest series but these just came out corny. Apparently Nike is dropping some shoes for halloween. And I'm a fan of neon green and black but not a fan of cornyness.

Ozzie Guillen goes nuts
Alright I admit it, this is not really Ozzie Guillen. But this is a funny ass spoof on Ozzie Guillen done on Mad TV by comedian Johnny Sanchez.
The last line is classic.

More Griffs
Apparently Nike will be releasing more than one colorway in 2009. As an avid fan of Junior, this is great news.
These will retail for $140.

Crooked Straight NFL Top Ten
1. Steelers
2. Cowboys
3. Chargers
4. Giants
5. Titans
6. Eagles
7. Redskins
8. Bills
9. Panthers
10. Ravens
ESPN did a little better this week but I hate how they are jumping on the bandwagon when teams like the Giants, Bills, and Titans play nothing but lames and go undefeated. Meanwhile, squads like the Cowboys, Eagles, Ravens, Steelers, etc. are beating up on each other when obviously someone has to lose.
Let's be honest, does anyone really think that the Titans or Bills could possibly beat the Cowboys or anyone else in the top ten? The Titans could possible beat the Ravens, depending on who's defense is able to get a touchdown and make the outcome of the game 10-3.
The reason I have Pittsburgh at #1 is because they are playing like shit and still hold a 3-1 record against some good teams. If they're playing this bad, I'm thinking that when they get Parker back and get some momentum, they'll be tough to deal with. I still have the top three (SD, Dallas, and Pitt) pretty even.
I'm a non-believer in the Bills and Titans, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.
Honorable mention goes to the Bucs and Packers.

Daily Dunk - And Video - Of The Day: Master P
Love No Limit or hate it (and I was pretty much in the latter camp), you can't front that this was a party-igniter 10 years ago.
And watching diehard gangsta rappers viciously dunking on a 7 1/2-foot rim to show off their skills is comedy of the highest order.

The power of Will Smith (Seven Pounds trailer)
I have no idea what that movie is about. This is just making a trailer that no one understands with Will Smith in it just to see how many people are willing to see a Will Smith movie with no knowledge of what it's about. That being said, I can't wait to see this.

Daily Dunk: Carlos Boozer
Gilbert Arenas recently announced that he'll have a third knee surgery that will keep him on the DL until December. He definitely won't miss plays like this.

ESPN Reporter shows he has no balls at all
I was checking out ESPN.com when I saw the headline on how a blindside hit feels in football. Reporter Patrick Hruby even went so far as to suit up in pads and take a few hits himself on camera.
So I thought to myself 'this could be cool.'
I click the video and it appears that Hruby is suited up with a Washington Redskin DB by the name of Ivy Tillman. I'm thinking 'must be some undrafted free agent.' I also noticed that Hruby is a huge guy, he looks like he's about 6'4" and cut up.
Then he introduces the player, who is a professional woman's player in some unknown professional woman's league. She even refers to a hit she delivered in the super bowl. Huh?
Are you serious? Dog, you're 6'4" and she's like 5'7" and a FEMALE and you're trying to find out how a blind side hit feels? Get real, jackass.
Then the footage continues and she gives him the softest tackles I've seen since watching the last hug in "You've Got Mail." Not to mention, dude straps on like eight rolls of toilet paper on top of his football padding just in case she hits him too hard. Right.
Just watch as this lame-o embarasses himself, his family, and his company.

The Real Power Rankings
Let's be honest, the Giants aren't really that good. They barely came through with a win over the sorry ass Bengals IN NEW YORK. The Cowboys are legit and have already played two of the best teams and ran through both of em (okay they didn't run through the Eagles but they gave them the business) but we'll see what happens in Philly.
The Chargers should realistically be 3-0, or at least 2-1 if they don't get the referee shaft against the Broncos. With LT back in rhythm, they look like a mini version of the Boys with a better RB and no T.O. Put any team up against the Chargers at a neutral site and who would you bet on? The Cowboys and MAYBE the Eagles, every other team you're taking the Bolts.
McNabb is probably the most underrated QB in the league. People throw Palmer and Big Ben in the 'best QB's' convo before they do Donovan. It's a travesty but he's got a chip on his shoulder this year and they barely lost to Dallas. Once again, their receivers are a bunch of no-names that are looking like all-pros with McNabb (although DeSean Jackson is looking like a star).
The Broncos could easily be 1-2 but I think they're getting better every week. They have B. Marsh back and Cutler is feelin' himself.
I'm not sold on the Giants like I said before but they're the defending champs and they're 3-0 so we'll stick them in the five spot. How they almost lost to the Bengals is beyond me. They have too many weak spots in their squad and does anyone really believe in Eli? I didn't think so.
Indy is looking sorry but they're going to make the playoffs and when they do no one is going to want to play them. They have a shitload of injuries that I don't like and it really makes them interchangeable with the Steelers, depending on who can get past their injuries.
I like Pitt a lot, actually I would have them at #2 or #3 if it wasn't for the injuries but Parker is down and Ben is getting tossed around by defensive lines so I don't have them lasting throughout the season despite their impressive showings in the first two weeks.
The Titans look good but let's get serious: they have Kerry Collins running the show. If they were 2-1 I would have them at #15. We'll see how long this fantasy lasts.
I liked the Bills before last week, when they should have lost to the Raiders. THE RAIDERS almost beat the Bills IN BUFFALO.

Manny MVP Watch
Yesterday Manny Ramirez continued his push for NL MVP, going 2-4 with a two-run homerun, two runs scored and a walk, raising his average to .398 in another Dodgers victory, brining their magic number to one.
The Dodgers were 54-54 and two games out of first place on July 31 when Manny joined the team. They're now eight games over .500 (83-75) and have clinched a first-place tie for the national league west.
"It feels great," Ramirez said. "We still have to come and get the win and we are going against one of the best pitchers in the league. We just have to come back and battle and play hard."
Ramirez said he wasn't thinking about the postseason when the Boston Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers on July 31.
"I was trying to fit in, play the game and show people that I could play and play hard," he said. "That was my attitude." (Associated Press)

Manny slumping, Red Sox celebrate
Since going 3-4 with two homeruns and five RBI on Saturday, Manny ramirez is in a 1-6 slump and his average has dipped under .400 to .395.
The Red Sox, who traded Manny away and haven't seen him slump this badly since, celebrated the occasion with Curt Schilling's favorite cocktail.
"I feel like a kid, jumping around spraying champagne with all these guys," said Jason Bay, the player who was traded to the Red Sox for Manny (source). I don't think Bay noticed that Mike Lowell, who is making $6.5 million more than Bay, was the only player given champagne. But I don't blame Bay, as I've regularly mistaken Bud Light for champagne as well.
I'm not sure what's going on in Dodger Town but this is why they hired Torre and paid him the big bucks, so hopefully he'll get Manny's head out of his ass because .395 doesn't cut it when you're in a pennant race. The Dodgers magic number is now at three after they edged out a 10-1 victory over the Padres last night.
Ciara claims Vibe stole her panties
Apparently on the new cover of Vibe Magazine, Ciara is in what appears to be a nude pose. She claims that she had underwear on but that Vibe airbrushed her draws out. Although that's not very disappointing to most of her male fans, she's not too excited about it.
However, because she's wearing black lipstick, no one really cares what she says.

Download: Stat Quo "Let the Beat Build Freestyle"
Here's a new joint from Stat, hopefully he's coming with more heat on the regular. Feels like Aftermath is nothing but G-Unit now. I used to be a huge fan of Stat when he first broke onto the national scene with Shady Records. Then one day I'm playing basketball at the Hollywood L.A. Fitness and notice this cat has a tat on his arm that says "Statlanta" and once I heard his voice realized it was Stat. Anyways he turns out to be a real cool cat and a pretty good hooper and said his album was dropping soon, but that was like damn near two years ago and we're still waiting. So hopefully it's coming soon.
A quick sidenote that's kind of funny: After the first week of our L.A. Fitness league, Stat was leading the league in points, so he took a picture on his phone of the stat sheet so he could send it to his mom and let her know that he was ballin.

Yes, D-Miles was something of a disappointment in the league.
But there was something about him that made him a ridiculously hot prospect out of high school, and this side-to-side jam puts it on display.
