MY TOP 10 SUMMER MOVIES OF 2012!!
It's list time, muthafuckas!
I have my BA in film. Yes, I went to college, you ignorant a-hole. Naturally, I watch a ton of movies, especially in the summer. In 2012, I went H.A.M., attending a movie every damn weekend. To avoid getting my wallet raped, I attended each movie before noon, as well as bringing my own snacks into the theater. Hey, times are hard. :(
With all the movie-going I did this summer, I feel it's only right I rank my top 10 movies in order. I saw pretty much every 'blockbuster', with apologies to Brave, Expendables 2 & Bourne Legacy. Minus those three (and truthfully, only 'Brave' would probably crack my list anyway), this is still an accurate-ass list.
Before we get to the movies that cracked the list, let's briefly discuss the 5 that missed the cut.
- Snow White & The Huntsman
Probably the worst movie I saw all summer. All style, no substance. Although it did manage to add Kristen Stewart to my 'bone-able snowflakes' list.
- Rock Of Ages
Tom Cruise, who usually annoys me, was sharp as a rocker & the intentions of the musical-turned-movie were good but left me feeling a lil empty when it was over.
- Total Recall
Thought this would be shitty. But then the first half of the movie happened & I was like 'oh snap! This might actually be good!' But then the second half happened & yeah, it was shitty.
- The Campaign
Used to be a big Will Ferrell fan... I still am to an extent... but his whole shtick is getting a lil tiring. I'll definitely be checking out Anchorman 2 next year, though.
- Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World
Way better than I thought it would be. I can't lie, it was like soooo sweet but ultimately just too sappy for my liking.
OK, enough with the losers. Let's run down the 10 winners!
10. Amazing Spider-Man
If the list was 'most disappointing movies of the summer', this would hold down the top spot. Why do a reboot of a franchise when the last collection of interpretations (minus the awful Spider-Man 3) were way better than this? Didn't like Andrew Garfield & the special effects of the villain Lizard licked nuts. Luckily, I enjoy staring at Emma Stone (another member of the aforementioned 'bone-able snowflakes' list) so this snuck it's way on here.
9. Prometheus
Remember when I said Spider-Man would be #1 on the summer disappointments list? Here's your #2 film. Might have had the dopest trailer out of all the top 10. Unfortunately, that's where most of the action was. Pretty consistent film all the way around, building it's way to an epic climax... that never happened. Now I know what my ex-girlfriends feel like. :(
8. The Watch
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn AND Jonah Hill? In a comedy about aliens? Of course this shit was gonna be on here! Was this some sort of ground-breaking masterpiece? No, obviously. But it supplied just enough laughs to leave me satisfied (and look past a corny & potentially disastrous ending).
7. The Dictator
Borat is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can watch that shit a million times. It never gets tiring. So this Sasha Baron Cohen comedy (which is identical) was enjoyable. However, because The Dictator was scripted, it doesn't have the edge (or freshness) that Borat had. And that's OK, because Borat is a classic that most comedies aren't gonna touch. But Cohen's routine is still amusing.
6. Savages
I had serious doubt about this when I saw the trailer. I was like, wtf is this cheesy basura? I will never doubt Oliver Stone again. The man makes bloody, gruesome, entertaining movies. Just for fun, he added a lil trizzy action. Who doesn't love that? Add Benecio Del Toro's cold-hearted performance & Selma Hayek's fantastic funbags and you have a winner.
5. Paranorman
I try to avoid watching any type of animated film. Usually, the theaters are packed with a bunch of whiny, annoying kids that are asking a million questions to their fucktard parents while they're kicking the back of your chair. But even those brats couldn't keep me from this one & I'm glad they didn't. Funny, charming & heartfelt. And Norman's sister had the donkey! *howls like wolf*
4. The Avengers
Boy, had I been waiting for this lil film to come out! My thirst for the Avengers got so bad that I would stay for the credits after every movie, Marvel superhero or not, waiting for Nick Fury to come out & drop a teaser. Safe to say, I wasn't disappointed. Would've been easy to botch a movie of this magnitude, especially with all the components here, but it was well done.
3. The Hunger Games
Before you get your dutty panties in a bunch complaining about how much better the book was, let me warn you that I didn't read it. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of this movie, though. The political aspects stuck out to me more than anything. If you would've told me at the beginning of the year that I would enjoy Hunger Games more than Avengers, I might've thought you were on bath salts. And you may have been. But gosh darn it, you also would've been right!
2. Ted
I flip-flopped on my choice for #1 several times because, as you will see, my top two candidates are very different films. But let me say this: I absolutely LOVED Ted. I will get the blu-ray as soon as it comes out. I will watch it when it comes on HBO. I will get the stuffed animal. Maybe I already have the stuffed animal? Whatever the case, this is a comedy that will stand the test of time. Thought it was gonna be some crude, brainless comedy but it actually had some unexpected corazon.
1. The Dark Knight Rises
All the anticipation. All the breath-taking trailers. The classic movie that proceeded it. And even with all of that, no let down. Gotta be honest: I wasn't blown away by the first half. I kept waiting & waiting for a big moment. Then the last thirty minutes of the film happened... and I had a raging boner! One of the best endings (both for a movie & a trilogy) that I have seen in a long time. Set the standard not only for superhero movies, but for quality Summer entertainment. Long live Batman!
And that's the list. Hope you enjoyed. If anything, now you weirdos know which blu-rays to get me when the holidays & my birthday come around, teehee! See you next summer, mi gente.

My favorite 50 songs of 2011
OK, so I may be a lil late with this list. Eff that, I'm maaaad late.
See what had happened was... my computer stopped working in mid-December. The same computer which contained all the songs I loved from 2011, as well as this list. Took this bad boy over to the friendly folks at Staples recently, who must be into some black magic shit because every time they booted my computer from the store, it worked perfectly but at my crib, I have to unplug it & then plug it back in to get it to turn on. I realize this excuse not only makes me seem broke but lame as well. Talk about killing two birds with one stone!
Normally, I would just cut my losses & wait to post my list for next year but you know what? This list has sentimental value to me. Last year's list of my favorite 50 songs was the first blog I ever posted. I can't go out like no sucka, feel me? So with that said, I made the executive decision (as if I have a staff, smh) to post my list of my favorite 50 songs of 2011... now. In June. A good FIVE (yes, CAPS) months after I should've originally posted it. What can I say, better late than never, right? Right?!
A refresher: This is a list of MY favorite songs of 2011. Not yours, not yo mama's, but MINE. Debate all you want... hell, I love a good debate... but I can't help what my alien eardrums enjoy. My taste can be electic at times & that's reflected by some colorful(?) entries on this list. That doesn't mean I don't want your feedback, so feel free to add some of your 2011 favs.
Anyway, here's the damn list. Holler!
50. Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull 'On The Floor'
49. LMFAO 'Party Rock Anthem'
48. Dia Frampton 'Inventing Shadows'
47. Chris Brown feat. Justin Bieber 'Next 2 You'
46. Jordin Sparks 'The World I Knew'
45. Akon 'Keep Up'
44. David Guetta feat. Usher 'Without You'
43. Pitbull feat. Marc Anthony 'Rain On Me'
42. Taio Cruz feat. Travie McCoy 'Higher'
41. Dev 'In The Dark'
40. Lil Wayne feat. Cory Gunz '6'7'
39. Revenge of the Nerds 'Amber Rose'
38. Vado 'Keep Rising'
37. Skyzoo 'Test Drive'
36. Random Axe 'Jahphy Joe'
35. DJ Suss-One 'Champion'
34. DJ Drama 'Oh My'
33. Eminem feat. Jay-Z, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent 'Syllables'
32. Wale feat. J. Cole 'Bad Girls Club'
31. Jay-Z & Kanye West 'No Church In The Wild'
30. Childish Gambino 'Bonfire'
29. XV feat. Jazmine Sullivan 'Famous'
28. Startyourownrebellion feat. J. Cole 'Let It Go'
27. B.o.B feat. Lil Wayne 'Strange Clouds'
26. Kid Cudi 'Capcom'
25. J. Cole 'Bring Em In'
24. Wale feat. Kid Cudi 'Focused'
23. Big Sean feat. Wiz Khalifa & Chiddy Bang 'High'
22. Jay-Z & Kanye West 'Otis'
21. B.o.B 'NY NY'
20. Adell 'Someone Like You'
19. Katy B 'Broken Record'
18. Pitbull feat. T-Pain 'Hey Baby'
17. T-Pain feat. Chris Brown 'Best Love Song'
16. Kevin Cossom feat. Fabolous & Diddy 'Baby I Like It'
15. Rihanna 'We Found Love'
14. Adell 'Rolling In The Deep'
13. Jay-Z & Kanye West 'H.A.M.'
12. Grafh 'If I Get Away'
11. Britney Spears 'I Wanna Go'
10. Cam'ron & Vado 'Hey Muma'
I love it when NY rap sounds like NY rap. And this definitely sounds like NY rap. Loved 'Speakin' Tongues' from last year & this one tops that. Always been a Cam fan & Vado is one of my new favs. Besides, calling girls 'ma' was getting played out, anyway.
9. Eminem feat. Slaughterhouse & Yelawolf '2.0 Boys'
When I say 'hip', y'all say 'hop'! Shady is building an incredible empire with their latest two signees & they put their skills on full display on this one. Definitely a sign of things to come, as I can assure you Slaughterhouse will hold down a spot on this countdown next year.
8. Frank Ocean 'We All Try'
As you can tell, I listen to a lot of that pop, dance shit. Not the most mature shit, I know, but when I wanna get it in while at the club, it gets the job done. When I need to contemplate & get my grown man on, though, I throw on something like this. Can't wait for the debut album.
7. Pink 'Fuckin' Perfect'
Calling all lovers of people with low self-esteem! On the real, Pink is that chick. Who would've thought that the girl who debuted as an urban R&B singer would have a greatest hits album over a decade later full of badass, pop/rock hits? Not to mention it's impossible to hate a song with a curse in the title. IMPOSSIBLE.
6. Romeo feat. Usher 'Promise'
And here comes my Latino side rearing it's platano-eating head. Bachata usually makes me break out in hives but this is brilliant. Telling a girl you want to give her your heart but she has to promise you she won't break it... pero que lindo! Now only if I could learn to dance to this shit.
5. Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo 'Give Me Everything (Tonight)'
There's no hiding it anymore. I love Pitbull. Not hard to tell, he's all over this got damn list. Shit, I had to stop myself from adding more Pitbull, to be honest. You don't even wanna imagine what kind of fool I become when I've thrown a few back & this song comes on. This lil jam is gonna be around for a loooooong time.
4. Saigon 'Bring Me Down'
Remember when I said that I love when NY rap sounds like NY rap. Well, yeah. I always thought Saigon was full of potential but he never really put it together. Here he does. I can't even count the amount of calories I've burned on the eliptical while this was banging on my iPod.
3. Jay-Z & Kanye West 'Niggas In Paris'
It's a rule that when Jay drops new material, he is guarenteed a spot in my top 10. Add Kanye to the mix & top 3 is a lock. I went to the Throne concert and these fools performed this song THREE times! I thought my head was gonna explode. Let's not forget that this song successfully incorporates an exercpt from 'Blades of Glory'. That's no easy feat!
2. Miguel 'Sure Thing'
I'll admit, it's a lil awkward to hear Miguel address his 'woman' in the first line of this song & tell her he wants to 'love her like a brother'. This song is so sick, I'm willing to look past that. Second straight year I've had an R&B song in the runner-up position. Is 2012 the year my sensitive side comes out in full bloom?
1. XV 'The Kick'
Unless you're a crazy hip-hop head, you probably haven't heard this song. Even then, this song could've slipped past you. But I strongly encourage you to give this a listen when you get a chance. This is what I love about hip-hop. This is what I miss about hip-hop. This is my favorite song of 2011.
And we're done. See, that wasn't so bad. And to think, we get to do this again in 7 months! Well, unless my computer decides not to work again. Grrrrrrrr.
Enjoy the rest of 2012!

Sacha Baron Cohen vs. Ryan Seacrest
Sacha Baron Cohen, mostly known for his genius character 'Borat', is back on the scene w/ a new film called 'The Dictator'. Whoever is in charge of the Oscars originally banned Cohen from attending, mostly in fear that he would come on the red carpet in character to promote his upcoming movie. For whatever reason, this decision was reversed, Cohen was invited... & did exactly what the academy feared.
Below is what was arguably the highlight of Oscar night: Cohen, as the 'The Dictator', being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. If you didn't think Cohen is hilarious (or that Seacrest is a fuckin' PROFESSIONAL), this clip is certain to change your mind.

The Exposure of Nicki Minaj
I know you muthafuckas saw the grammys this past Sunday. Year after year, everyone watches this event & comes away thoroughly disappointed. So much, in fact, that I think I would be disappointed by not being disappointed, if that makes any sense.
Of course, this year was no different. Aside from Bruno Mars & a few other gems, the Grammys proved to be another lackluster spectacle. Now, my biggest issue with events like these aren't the lack of quality performances, but the pre-conceived, forced shock value that is tacked onto some of these sets. Everybody wants to be the center of attention, the talk of the town. Gaga wants to top Madonna. Katy Perry wants to top Gaga. Ke$ha wants to top Katy Perry. And so on. It's all a cycle of shit.
What this leads to is a whole bunch of chickenheads trying to prove how 'different' they are when the weirdness of their performances is actually a cover-up for their lack of talent. We are to believe that these artists are 'unique' and appreciate them because they're 'different' when these spectacles are merely illusions of who these artists really are. Have you not seen the aforementioned artists before they were big? All relatively normal-looking. I'm suppose to believe that when they had all the artistic freedom in the world that they were 'caged' but once they entered the creative jail that is known as the music industry that they were allowed to be their real selves? It makes no sense.
The newest member of this sorry sorority is Nicki Minaj. While watching the Grammys, I was told over & over again by the douchebag announcer to stay tuned & see a performance from Nicki that I wouldn't forget. Well, technically he was right, but not for the right reasons. I sat & watched a desperate plea for attention (and possibly help) as she became her alter-ego 'Roman' for five minutes while attempting to be exercised. If you were one of those people who dismissed any reality of secret (or not-so-secret) societies like the Illuminati being heavily involved in the entertainment industry, you were pretty much running out of reasons.
Illuminati affiliations aside, the performance got me thinking about the state of current hip-hop. Nicki was pretty much the only representation of hip-hop (if you can call her that) who performed, outside of a brief Wayne cameo later on. How much did she set the genre & the culture back? What about the reprecussions for her fellow female rappers going forward? The generation before me had MC Lyte. I had Lauryn Hill. The current generation is left with Nicki, who while she can occasionally deliver a solid verse, is seen more as an industry puppet w/ no identity. Not the uplifting trend-setter the hip-hop culture, or more importantly female rappers, need. I'm not saying that the future of a juggernaut like hip-hop lies on the back of someone like Nicki. Hip-hop will always be present in some form. But right now, the future of commercial success within the genre is being led by some bird who wore a giant red robe to the biggest award show the industry has to offer.
Another thing I've been wanting to get off my chest... her fuckin' last name is another word for a threesome. Yet when we have some 5-year-old girls on Ellen reciting the lyrics to her songs and saying Minaj is their IDOL, I'm supposed to think it's cute? I was disgusted at how many people on my Facebook & Twitter feeds posted that clip with some form of 'awwww' attached to it. I'd slap the shit out of my future daughter if I even think she muttered the word 'Minaj', let alone sang the lyrics of that industry slut. Condone it if you'd like, just don't be one of those people who acts surprised when they're on the train & overhear a sexually explicit conversation between a bunch of pre-teens who haven't even filled in their training bras.
In conclusion, we have to do better. I consider myself a rational person who takes everything w/ a grain of salt but this shit is getting out of hand. Now excuse me while I put 'The Mis-Eduction of Lauyrn Hill' on blast.

NFL Conference Championship Predictions
Well, it was fun, my friends. I split last Sunday's picks, which means I'm guarenteed to finish worse than last year's 8-3 record. I know, what a damn shame. I'm not quitting, though, and I'm determined to nail my final three picks to go a respectable 7-4. Leggo!
(Home team in CAPS)
PATRIOTS over Ravens
And so they meet again. After last year's drubbing of #1 seed New England, Baltimore tries to repeat that task after a mediocre but successful performace against depleted Houston. QB Joe Flacco looked bad enough that he was publicly critized by defensive teammate Ed Reed, which had to do loads for the young man's confidence. Flacco should play better though against the Pats' putrid secondary, and the truth is the Ray Rice-led running game & Ray Lewis-powered defense are the staples they will rely on to lead the Ravens to victory. Although Baltimore's D played admirably against TJ Yates, the QB they will be playing later on is a just a tad bit more dangerous.
Tom Brady derailed the Tim Tebow train in vicious fashion, throwing for six TD's despite hardly throwing in the second half. With potential MVP's Aaron Rodgers & Drew Brees watching from home, it's Brady's showcase to show he is THE elite QB in the league as he chases his fourth ring. The weapons at his disposal have been well-documented, mainly TEs Rob Gronkowski & Aaron Hernandez, who will cause match-up nightmares for Baltimore (and frankly, any defense). I can't see Brady being this close to another Super Bowl & throwing a dud. He should be in top form & when he is, he's one of the few QB's who can will his team to a win regardless of his defense. Not only do I like NE here, I'd take the points (a touchdown) if I was betting against the spread.
Giants over 49ERS
Yes, I picked against my team last week, but as I noted, if I was going to be wrong, I was also going to be the happiest man in the world. And that I am. The road to Indy doesn't get any easier for NY, however, as San Fran has been merking teams recently. They surprised me last week as they were able to match the high octane New Orleans offense point for point, even pulling out a late 4th quarter comeback. Much has been said about the transformation of Alex Smith, and he deserves all the positive press. After being labeled a bust since he was drafted, it's hard to hate on a redemption story like his. But if he thinks he's facing the soft NO defense today, he is sadly mistaken.
The Giants pass rush has one goal, and that is to draw blood. After making Matt Ryan look completely clueless in round one, they made Aaron Rodgers look uncomfortable enough to appear human. Now, Alex Smith has definitely improved but he is no Aaron Rodgers. I expect the G-Men to harrass the SF QB and force some uncharacteristic turnovers. On offense, NY has been clicking, led by WR Hakeem Nicks. He has been a man-beast, averaging 140 yards a game in the playoffs thus far. As great as people perceive SF's defense to be, Brees lit them up last week & they only rank 16th against the pass this year. I'm rolling with the hotter (and more balanced) team to set up a rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl. Eli vs. Brady part II, how can you hate that?

I don't wanna talk too much about the Giants as I still have a 'NFL Conference Championship Predictions' blog to write this weekend. Ok FINE, I totally picked the Packers to win last Sunday. WHATEVER. Anyway, here is my apology to my G-Men bredrin. A remake of the classic Naughty By Nature jam 'OPP' turned into a tribute to All-Pro defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. Surely I am forgiven after this :D

GIANTS HAPPY DANCE
You already know the deal. Giants raped the Packers last night to advance to the NFC Championship game on Sunday vs. the Niners. As exciting as the game was, the real magic happened shortly after the game was over. I was watching the game w/ my friends in what ended up being a double celebration (for my bday as well) when I became so overwhelmed w/ joy that I wanted to display my emotions... in dance form.

NFL Divisional Weekend Predictions
Well, that didn't go so well. After lighting it up last year & going 3-1 in wild card weekend, I only managed to split this year's four games. If I would've followed the simple plan of picking home teams, I would've been tasting sweet victory. Oh well.
Horrible picks aside, this weekend should be tremendous for football fans, as the four most interesting teams that played all advanced. This creates some sizzling match-ups for divisional weekend and darn it, I can't wait!
(Home team in CAPS)
Saints over 49ERS
The 49ers have to be the most over-looked team in the playoffs. Sure, I didn't help with my prediction above, but whatever. SF has a punishing defense, steady running game, brash yet confident coach. They have all the tools of a championship team. They're not exactly loaded on offense but they're just productive enough on that side of the ball to give their defense a chance to close out the game. I've heard people say that eventually, despite all the record-setting offenses we've seen this season, defense has to (and will) win these playoff games. And part of me believes that. Just not this time.
All bets are off when you're playing Drew Brees. The dude is simply playing out of his mind right now. As dominant as the SF D has been, the Saints have so many weapons on offense, it's almost impossible to stop them all. Will Brees have as easy a time w/ SF as he did with Detroit? Of course not. But if NO happens to get up by a touchdown or two, I have to feel confident that Alex Smith can close the gap to pick them. Simply, I do not.
PATRIOTS over Broncos
What a season for Denver. Everyone is going ham over Tebow & the boys after their stunning OT win over defending AFC champs Pittsburgh. Even if you have no horse in this race, you just have to root for a dude like Tebow, who has been critized rather unfairly despite being a respectable field general for most of the year. The leadership & magic(?) he brings are factors that go beyond stats. Will the feel-good story continue?
Not so fast, buddy. If anyone recalls, these teams matched up earlier this year & NE punished Denver, most notably their defense. While Brady may not be Brees-hot, he certainly protected his throne, passing for over 5,000 yards, second all-time right behind the NO QB. NE has a huge flaw on defense, particularly their secondary, and that's not a good sign with the way Tebow and D. Thomas were able to exploit the Steelers. But I have to believe that experience wins out here. NE has been down this road before, Denver is without the crutch of their home field & God knows what Bellicek has planned for Tebow. NE by two TDs.
RAVENS over Texans
This is my easiest pick of the weekend. Houston looked good against Cincy, who looked competitive to start but over-matched by the end. Andre Johnson appeared to be healthy & Arian Foster did what Arian Foster does. The defense came up w/ a monster pick-six and TJ Yates did nothing to wipe all of that clean. For the Texans to win, they will have to repeat that same formula, only multiply that by a million. These aren't the Bengals they're playing this week, my friend.
Baltimore, a group of grizzled veterans, should be refreshed after their week off. Everyone knows about the playmakers they have on defense, and I expect them to keep the pressure on Hosuton's rookie QB. But it's when the Ravens have the ball on offense where this game will be won. Houston has proven to be a solid crew on defense but a dual-threat like Ray Rice is the perfect remedy to solve that problem. An all-purpose yard king, Rice is just as dangerous catching balls out of the backfield than toting the rock after a hand-off. I smell a 150-yard combined performance from him to lead Baltimore to the win.
PACKERS over Giants
Ahhh, this pains me. No team has looked better in the past three weeks (with maybe New Orleans in the discussion) than the Giants. They've crushed the Jets, Cowboys & Falcons in order, bringing them to this rematch with defending champs Green Bay. The pass rush reached their pinnicle last week, holding Atlanta's potent offense scoreless. Hakeem Nicks showed what happens when defenses put too much focus on Victor Cruz. Brandon Jacobs looked like... well... not Brandon Jacobs, running for almost 100 yards. The G-Men are clicking on all cyclinders.
And then there's the offensive juggernaut known as the Packers. Yeah, they had the best record in the NFL. Yeah, they probably have the MVP in Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, his favorite weapon, Greg Jennings, is back from injury. It's not likely that the Giants will do to GB what they did to Atlanta. Like NE, the only thing keeping GB from being an unstoppable force is their pourous defense. They often bend but don't break, but New York has the pieces on offense to keep the pressure on, and that's exactly what I expect them to do. But that pressure can only sustained for so long. As much as it pains me to say it, I like GB here by a FG. And if I'm wrong, I will be the happiest man alive.

NFL Wild Card Weekend Predictions (Part 2)
Ok, so the quest for perfection may have ended prematurely. Damn you, Bengals! However, I still have the opportunity to match my 3-1 record from last year's wild card weekend. The problem is that today's games present so many unknowns, it will not be easy to go 2 for 2. No complaining though. This is the life I chose. So without any further ado, here are my picks:
(Home team in CAPS)
GIANTS over Falcons
This weekend's true toss-up. The Falcons are loaded on offense this year. Last year's core of Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Michael Turner & future Hall-of-Famer Tony Gonzalez got an extra weapon in lethal rookie WR Julio Jones. Throw in the fact that the Giants have a weak secondary & you have a recipe for disaster. Atlanta has looked good going into the playoffs before, however, most notably last year when they locked up the #1 seed in the NFC, only to get raped in their first game by eventual champs Green Bay. Now they have to play outdoors against a peaking Giants team? Color me skeptical.
Kind of hard to be unbiased here, as I am a huge Giants fan so I get the chance to watch all their games. I've seen the highs & lows play out that eventually equaled a slightly above average season overall. However, NY, already featuring a potent passing attack with a near 5,000 yard passer (Eli Manning) & the best WR duo yardage-wise this year (Hakeem Nicks & sudden superstar Victor Cruz), has gotten their pass rush together on defense at the right time. The three-headed monster of Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora & All-Pro Jason Pierre-Paul will help cover up the holes in the secondary, slowing up Atlanta's offense just enough to grab a close victory.
Pittsburgh over DENVER
Wtf do we make of Denver? The Kyle Orton-led team that started the season slowly morphed into the Tim Tebow-led powerhouse that made them front-runners in the AFC West, only to see them drop their last three games & limp into the playoffs. Even with all that said, Denver is in a good position to pull off an 'upset' here. Not only is this game in Denver where the altitude presents a real disadvantage for visitors, but Pittsburgh is littered with injuries ranging from RB Rashard Mendenhall to safety Ryan Clark. Even their rock, Big Ben, has been slowed down recently with a hobbled leg. The Steelers are far from full-strength & Tebow loves Jesus. Hallelujah!
I still like Pitt here, and that is a testament to their veteran leadership & experience. The Steelers have been down this road before. If there's any team that can overcome adversity in the post-season, it's Pittsburgh. Tebow has looked flat-out amatuerish recently, including a dreadful performance against Buffalo where he threw four picks, two of which were returned for TD's. Denver's strength in the running game can be combatted by Pitt's stunning-as-always run defense. For me to pick Denver here, I would have to expect Tebow to play flawlessly. God forgive me but I don't see it.

GIANTS over Falcons
This weekend's true toss-up. The Falcons are loaded on offense this year. Last year's core of Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Michael Turner & future Hall-of-Famer Tony Gonzalez got an extra weapon in lethal rookie WR Julio Jones. Throw in the fact that the Giants have a weak secondary & you have a recipe for disaster. Atlanta has looked good going into the playoffs before, however, most notably last year when they locked up the #1 seed in the NFC, only to get raped in their first game by eventual champs Green Bay. Now they have to play outdoors against a peaking Giants team? Color me skeptical.
Kind of hard to be unbiased here, as I am a huge Giants fan so I get the chance to watch all their games. I've seen the highs & lows play out that eventually equaled a slightly above average season overall. However, NY, already featuring a potent passing attack with a near 5,000 yard passer (Eli Manning) & the best WR duo yardage-wise this year (Hakeem Nicks & sudden superstar Victor Cruz), has gotten their pass rush together on defense at the right time.

NFL Wild Card Weekend Predictions (Part 1)
The guru is back to bless you bastards w/ some more football wisdom! If you recall, last year when I started my blog, I predicted the outcome of the NFL playoffs and boy did I do it successfully! We start w/ wild card weekend, typically the hardest week to predict because the teams involved all have glaring weaknesses. I'll start w/ the games that begin shortly & I'll be back tomorrow to recap the rest.
Last year, I went 3-1 in these games. I'm aiming for nothing less than perfection.

Bengals over TEXANS
You have to admire the Texans. Notoriously known for choking season after season despite having a talented roster, they took full advantage of the Colts' Peyton-less collapse by winning their division convincingly. However, they're entering the playoffs exactly the way you do NOT want to be in there. They are already minus their starting QB (Matt Schaub), back-up QB (Matt Leinart) & best defensive player (Mario Williams). Their 3rd-string QB, rookie TJ Yates, has filled in admirably but he's dinged up, too. And since I mentioned the pathetic Colts before, now is a good time to add that one of the two Colts wins came in week 16 against Houston. Yikes.
Cincy, on the other hand, overachieved like a mah'fucka. Nobody expected much from them after losing lockdown corner Jonathan Joseph (to Houston, of all places) & handing over the offense to rookie QB Andy Dalton. However, Dalton lived up to his 'Red Rifle' nickname by forming great chemistry w/ fellow rookie AJ Green. The Bengals also benefitted from playing in the AFC North that featured fellow playoff juggernauts Pittsburgh & Baltimore. While they lost all four games against those teams, the war scars will pay off this weekend against a struggling Houston team.
NEW ORLEANS over Detroit
Well, this should be fun. While Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers & Tom Brady have stolen the headlines QB-wise, Matthew Stafford quietly put together a 5,000 yard season. As surprising as it is, the more important thing is that Stafford, who had been limited in his previous two seasons due to injuries, played the entire season. Having Stafford at the helm takes full advantage of Calvin Johnson's skill set as he established himself as the most dangerous WR in the league. Detroit should have no problem putting up points on New Orleans' sub-par pass defense.
The problem is, can Detroit stop New Orleans aerial assault? The answer, simply, is no. Nobody has had any luck w/ that, especially recently as Brees established an NFL record for passing yards in a season. The weapons at the Saints' disposal are ridiculous. Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Darren Sproles & Lance Moore present mismatches all over the field. Eventually, the Saints are going to have to win a game that isn't a shoot-out. This week won't be that week.

Disney's 'The Triangle Bush'
Saw this on E's 'The Soup' where they ranked the top clips of the year & couldn't stop laughing. Somehow this did not get the #1 spot. Sexual AND illuminati symbolism, all wrapped up delightfully in one disney clip!
