WTF?! Glen Beck Quoted Letters To Cleo On His Blog

Teddy — 2010-08-30T23:20:00Z

Letters To Cleo are one of my favorite all time local bands; their front women Kay Hanley who I am also a fan of is pretty damn liberal. Thats why it was suprising to her and pretty much everyone who has any idea of Glen Beck and Kay's political stances when he quoted LTC lyrics on his blog today. Here is a link to the Glen Beck blog;

Dave O'Brien Just Jinxed Clay Buchholz On WEEI

Teddy — 2010-08-29T01:35:00Z

With a runner on first base in a 1-0 game in the seventh, Red Sox #2 Play by Play guy on WEEI Dave O'Brien began talking about how Buchholz has had an ace performance tonight; he then went on how he was become poised in pressure situation and currently had a 26 inning scoreless inning streak. What does Buchholz do right after O'Brien starts saying all of this but make a throwing error on a pick off attempt which leads to a run to tie the game. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! That was a classic announcer jinx if I ever heard ...

Nicki Minaj is The Hottest Rapper In The Game Right Now

Teddy — 2010-08-28T13:17:00Z

If you do not believe me, listen to these posse cuts and tell me who has the best verse: Yesterday Kanye dropped the new track "Monster" featuring Jay Z, Rick Ross, Bon Iver, and Nicki Minaj.http://allhiphop.com/stories/multimedia__music/archive/2010/08/27/22353376.aspx Nicki easily has the best verse on that song.

Same goes with DJ. Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" Remix which features Rick Rick, T-Pain, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Busta, Puffy, Fat Joe, and Swiss Beats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh8mRjO1nhg Nicki has the most memorable verse and ends it with one of the lines ...

You Lose!

Teddy — 2010-08-22T11:46:00Z

Interesting article about the whole not keeping score in youth sports phenomenon.http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2010/08/22/what_happened_to_losing/?page=2

For the record, the part of the article that I agree with the most is that children are put into organized sports with coaches and referees at too young an age. The best way to learn fair play, dealing with winning and losing, and general social skills is via informal games that the children themselves organize and referee without any adult supervision. ...

High Schools Should Provide More Media Producing Opportunities For Their Students

Teddy — 2010-08-21T11:17:00Z

Above is a link to an article about a radio station run by teenage girls.This radio station is based out of community center, but I'd like to see more high schools incorporate stuff like this into their curriculum. Having students produce radio/tv/youtube shows and write in newspapers/blogs is a lot more authentic learning experience than turning in a paper about an assign subject that only a teacher will read. ...

Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You" is an Instant Anthem

Teddy — 2010-08-20T21:16:00Z

Cee Lo green has been around forever as a member of the rap group the Goodie Mob, and one half of the duo Gnarls Barkley. Well, he also has a solo career and his single is an instant anthem that sounds like a combination of Marvin Gaye, Andre 300, and Eamon Eamon. Check it out below:

E. Providence Getting Rid of Recess!?

Teddy — 2010-08-17T17:21:00Z

The E. Providence school district is doing away with recess for Elementary School aged children. http://www.boston.com/news/local/rhode_island/articles/2010/08/17/ri_school_district_doing_away_with_recess/?p1=Upbox_links
This is pretty much always a horrible idea and research shows it will most likely lead to more behavior problems and stressed out children. Phys Ed is not a replacement for recess either because it is structured and the children do not get to use their imagination/social skills to create their own play. If anything, we need more recess for children; especially for the younger Elementary School. Here are just some ...

Can Bill Simmons Help Break Freddie Gibbs?

Teddy — 2010-08-16T11:19:00Z

Freddie Gibbs is my favorite and easily the best rapper to hit the scene in 2010. He has a great variety of flows and touches on a variety of topics all with a Tupacesque F-everyone sensibility.(check out some of his stuff here: http://www.itsaraprogo.com/?s=Freddie+Gibbs )However, he does (at least not yet) have any Drake or B.O.B. like potential singles and thus will have a hard time breaking out of the underground/blog-o-sphere. He may get an assist from an unlikely place though in Bill Simmons Sports Guy Podcast. http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=87997 Simmons who has a huge reader/listenership especially of white men between ...

Better Dancer: Big Baby Davis or Shaq?

Teddy — 2010-08-04T10:31:00Z

Boston Celtic Big Baby Davis recently posted this video of himself dancing to Cali Swag Districts "Teach me How To Dougie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIz80L9eJhA&feature=player_embedded It was not a stellar performance. Maybe he could learn some dance (and low post ) moves from what appears to be his newest teammate Shaq: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf-KLpniQb4 ...

Welcome To Second Place Yankees

Teddy — 2010-08-04T02:07:00Z

I'd like to congratulate the Rays for passing the Yankees into first place will predict that the Yankees and their aging all star roster will finish in third.

Side note, fun stuff at Fenway tonight. We have lacked bench clearing and Beckett is at his best when he is slightly unhinged like he was tonight. That is not even mentioning old man Mike Lowell coming in for the injured Yooouuuk to blast a homer on the first pitch which was a great moment. Despite all the injuries, I really think this Sox team will ...

Damn It Lackey: and Where is Jacoby?

Teddy — 2010-08-03T01:27:00Z

First off, it always sucks when a good young player gets hurt even if he is on the other team; thus, I wish all the best to the Indians Carlos Santana who looks like he has a torn ACL/MCL after that collision at home plate.

Second, god damn it Lackey! We need you to step up in games like this. We are at home against a bad team and the Yankees are losing. We need good starts in games like this to make up ground.

Third: Jacoby is playing ...

Perfect Trailer Song Choice For The Social Network

Teddy — 2010-07-26T22:56:00Z

Sometimes choosing the perfect song for a trailer makes all the difference as to whether or not that trailer gets people to want to see the movie; exhibit B of this is the trailer for The Social Network (aka the Facebook Movie) that brilliantly uses a cover of Radioheads "Creep" by Scala and Kolacny Brothers. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/user/SocialNetworkMovie?v=53OUHupfqws&feature=pyv&ad=5074615067&kw=social%20network%20trailer ...

I Hope Mark Cuban Buys The Texan Rangers

The Texas Rangers are up for auction on August 4th. The Group most likely to get them is one led by Nolan Ryan and other business investors, but I hope Mark Cuban gets it. Baseball could use competitive and controversial owner like Cuban to generate publicity.
