It's almost December, and once again we Raider fans are running out of reasons to smile. Here's one (my boy Iso with the assist):

Xmas List 2010: Playboy Cover to Cover
I wanted to say XXXmas list, but I refrained. Wait...

Uncle Hugh's done it again. From the Los Angeles Times:
Playboy Magazine is on magazine racks, on the Web, on iPad, and now it's also on a hard drive.This box of...uhhh...box...costs more than a PS3 ($300); but, then again, you can't put a price on happiness.
The iconic publication, which has struggled a bit as the world goes increasingly digital, is offering every issue of Playboy, from 1953 to 2010, on a 250-GB drive described as small enough to fit "inside a briefcase or jacket pocket."
"Why would you let more than 650 of your favorite Playmates celebrate the holidays in a damp garage, stashed under your bed or crowded together in the basement, when you can bring them all together beneath the mistletoe this year?" Playboy said in a statement.

Daily Dunk: Dejuan Blair
This goes out to Defi, as Pittsburgh native and Pitt product Dejuan Blair emphatically introduces himself to Emeka Okafor. Bonus points for the ball going off Mek's grill after Dejuan slams it.

Daily Dunk: Russell Westbrook
Battier seems to get the wrong end of facials on a regular basis. Those guys that play defense often do.

The Safety Dance
Typically, when the flight attendants are going through the pre-flight safety demonstration, I'm buried in my book or magazine. If I were flying Cebu Pacific Air, however, I think I might be a little more attentive.

Happy Miley Day
Fellas, all of those dirty, criminal thoughts that you've (hopefully) repressed over the last several years are now...well, they're still dirty; but they're also legal. Miley Cyrus turns 18 today.
Yup.
Yup.
Daily Dunk(s): Blake Griffin, Again
OK, this is getting ridiculous. I want to post something other than the Blake Show, but he's making it impossible to look away. This game was actually Saturday, and we've missed a couple of days' worth of Daily Dunks, so here's a two-fer. He turns Timofey Mozgov into Frederic Weis, and then demonstrates why Danilo Gallinari is considered a weak defender. The Mozgov dunk is your early-season candidate for dunk of the year.
All I can say is, Blake Griffin must REALLY hate foreigners.

Respect My Gangsta: Steve Johnson
When you do battle with "Batman & Robin", it only makes sense to be a Joker.
From Shutdown Corner:
Johnson's performance helped spark a big come-from-behind victory for his team. Sometimes it's the "bad guys" that finish first.
From Shutdown Corner:
With the self-proclaimed tandem of Batman and Robin (Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco) on the other side of the field from Steve Johnson on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills' third-year receiver said he was going to play the role of The Joker.
To hammer home the point, Johnson wrote the most famous quote from Heath Ledger's character in "The Dark Knight" on his T-shirt before taking the field, with plans to display it after his first touchdown. Good thing for Johnson that he scored three on the day:

Chief Smack-a-ho
It was a rough one for my boys in Silver & Black yesterday. With all of the hype—which is new for most of these players, especially those that've endured the last several seasons—that has been come their way in recent weeks, and the lull of last week's bye, I was afraid they weren't going to be ready for a road game like this. And, sure enough, they weren't.
But, if nothing else, the game had one redeeming moment. Mr. Seymour, the nation thanks you for doing what the rest of us have been wanting to do for years.

I'm putting the over/under on his daily dunks this season at 10. And I would bet the over. This dude is nasty. Last night's victim was Anthony Tolliver.

Ronnie Turiaf had quite the night of getting yacked on last night against the Nuggets. This was the least of his problems but I figure Shelden Williams will never do this again so we should let him shine.

Eva Longoria has filed for her freedom.

Happy hunting, fellas.
From ESPN.com:
Longoria filed for divorce Wednesday morning in Los Angeles Superior Court. She and Parker, the All-Star point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, were married July 7, 2007. They have no children together.A beautiful Latina in her mid-30s who likes light-skinned brothers (albeit foreign ones...but I'll give her a pass there)? Sign me up. Although I'm sure I'd just end up pulling an Usher on her, since she looks a LOT like a certain Ex. (*sigh* I swear she ruins everything. But, then again...
In the filing, Longoria, who had taken Parker's name, is requesting that her name be restored to Eva Jacqueline Longoria. The filing also states that the couple had a prenuptial agreement.

Throwback Thursday: "Just Like Candy" -- 8Ball & MJG
I always thought this track was a little underrated. Just a lighthearted summer track to relax you & make you wish it was still short skirt weather here in the east. Plenty of "scenery" in this video, too.

Drake Interviewed by Nardwuar
I've never heard of Nardwuar, but apparently he's well known in Vancouver (and possibly the rest of Canada?). This is pretty entertaining stuff, though.

Daily Dunk: Sonny Weems
We don't get to feature small-time players and journeymen much in the Daily Dunk, so let's show some love for Sonny Weems (one of the best names in the NBA right now), who shakes half the city of Oakland when he goes behind the back and up for the jam.

Tail Report: Natasha Yi
Natasha has the eyes and body to turn sex into a sport. But, thankfully, this model/actress isn't all-pose-and-no-substance. In fact, she's a rarity amongst women of her profession(s): As humble, down-to-earth, and open as she is head-turningly beautiful.
And you've got to love a woman with ambition: She got her first big break by posing for Playboy when she was still a senior in high school (and without telling her parents that she was doing it). Don't worry, she was 18 (allegedly...).

Wade Phillips Kicks Rocks
We've all seen it coming for several weeks now. But it took last night's dismantling at the hands of the Green Bay Packers for Jerry Jones to finally pull the trigger on firing Wade Phillips.
Offensive Coordinator Jason Garrett will be taking over as the interim head coach, as reported by Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
Peace out, Wade.
Daily Dunk: Eric Gordon
Sleeper tells me to turn the TV on because the Clippers are trying to tie the score up with 10 seconds left at Utah. Then this happens. Unfortunately for the Clips, Gordon hurt his shoulder in OT and they lost.
Touch the Sky
Imagine if you were on a flight to NYC, and suddenly found out that Kanye West was on the plane. And then, after a drink or two, he hopped onto the intercom and started performing some of his hits.
There may not be another famous artist who loves being a famous artist more than Ye.
From The Huffington Post:

West, who according to a passenger was seated in First Class, came on the loud speaker about 30 minutes into the flight and started rapping.

Download: Celph Titled & Buckwild "Nineteen Ninety Now" Album
This album has gotten great reviews so far. If you're a fan of the mid-nineties east coast hip hop sounds, this album should deliver for you. I personally miss those days but more so for the Wu Tang's, Pac's and Biggie's of that time. This is more along the lines of the Boot Camp Click, etc. The album features appearances from Diamond D., Sadat X, Chino XL, Grand Puba, Treach, Jedi Mind Tricks and others.
