Why Weren't Halloween Costumes This Cool When I Was a Kid?



Damn. If I was this dude, I'd ring somebody's doorbell morph down into that car and scare the shit out of the person at the door.

Great New Paul Rodriguez Nike Commercial Featuring Ice Cube


P-Rod always makes a dope shoe and has always been my dude. Can't say that this commercial does anything to tarnish his upstanding place in my eyes.


Good Commercial.

Paul Pierce As Michael Corleone In The Godfather

Paul Pierce: Today Kobe Stans are dead to me. So is Phil Jackson. Antoine Walker. Rick Pitino. Kobe. Today I settled all family business so don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Admit what you did. Admit it you Kobe Cultists. You sided with the enemy. You said nobody is beating Kobe this season. Not me.…not anybody. It’s not so much what you said, but how you said it. Like you were in bed with him. Spooning him. Whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Whispering sweet nothings in Kobe Bryant’s ear about being on the level of Jordan.” Michael Jordan! You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Kobe Stan sobbing]

Paul Pierce: Get him a drink. Don't be afraid, Stanley. Come on, you think I'd make Kobe into the scapegoat? I'm Godfather to your Kobe.

[Kobe Stan gets handed a drink]

Paul Pierce
: Go ahead. Drink. Drink. No, you're out of the NBA prediction and prognosticating business, that's your punishment. You're finished. I'm putting you on a plane to Vegas. Doc?

[Doc Rivers hands Stanley the tickets]

Paul Pierce
: I want you to stay there, you understand?

[Kobe Stans nod]

Paul Pierce: Only don't tell me that you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry.

Celtics Win Game 4

Paul Pierce, after all, has been the best go-to guy in this series. Which is to say better than Bryant, no matter how many of us forecasted these Finals as some sort of victory lap for the MVP.

Pierce out-closed the game's foremost closer again by asking to switch onto Kobe defensively for the second half, helping to prevent the explosion we all expected after Bryant failed to register a first-half field goal.
Best believe I'mma have a big dinner Sunday before the game so you can smell my shit after Paul Pierce gets that ring and a MVP trophy when it's over.



"Paul came to me at halftime and said, 'I want to guard Kobe. Let me guard him,"' Rivers said. "I think people will look at his offense, but I thought we won the game because Paul was a tremendous defensive player tonight."

Pierce, who had not committed a foul in the first half, said he thought he could use that to his advantage against Bryant.

"I felt like I could be a little bit more physical on him," Pierce said. "The whole thing is, it's hard to stop a player like Kobe Bryant. He's the MVP, numerous scoring titles. If I can go out there and make him work for everything he got, you give yourselves a chance, and that's all I wanted to do."

Allen had guarded Bryant in the first half and held him to 0-for-4 shooting. But Pierce, a little taller and a little stronger, was able to keep the MVP from taking over the game.

"I would have suggested it a long time ago," Allen said. "But it took for Paul to say, 'Let me guard him.' When he said that, I knew he wanted him, and he was ready for the challenge, and I was like, 'Let's do it. Take him."'

Paul Pierce's Better Is Better Than The Lakers' Better Tonite

It's just one game. I know. But this one game was a big one, in the minds of everyone who played in it and everyone that saw it.

We all know who every fan and analyst and prognosticator and expert in the world is pulling for or predicting is going to win.

We all know Kobe is supposed to be Jordan and supposed to be able to singlehandedly will his team to a Lakers championship in 4 or 5.

But if Barack Obama can win the Democratic Nomination in a calendar year against the machine that was Hillary Rodham Clinton in the face of adversity and skepticism and deliver a miracle to the people who believed in him when experts thought it foolish to, than Paul Pierce and the Celtics can win this series to.

1 game down. 3 to go. Another small step towards the team goal, another step towards Paul Pierce proving he is the criminally underrated elite superstar who I've publicly proclaimed he was for so many years to people who didn't want to hear it and most importantly another step towards showing that even a God-King can bleed, word to Leonidas from 300.


Amazing.

Michelle Rodriguez


I'm always baffled by the lack of spotlight given to Michelle Rodriguez. She's not the most uber-talented actress on the big screen or small screen but I kind of enjoy her works in a guilty pleasure albeit biased sense. People are really sleeping hard on the woman and I really really can't say why for sure. I've seen ugly women with admittedly cartoonish bodies (ie Buffie the Body) court the flashes of cameras more frequently than M-Rod that are overall far less deserving which is astounding. We've all heard the rumors that she's [Michelle] wild and I get all that but you can't tell me she's the first woman to ever grace Hollywood with an attitude. I can deal with that. Anyways judging her against some of her contemporaries, I was never really all that enamored with Eva Longoria. I actually see her as overrated (I'm not trying to diss you Tony, don't send Bruce Bowen to bicycle kick me in my face for being honest). To each his own. Probably the overexposure of her that turned me off. Eva Mendez is cool but I never thought she was 'knock your socks off' beautiful either. Sexy? Absolutely. Training Day was probably the first and most jaw-dropping appearance and I've respected her hustle since. Really. But as a personal choice, if you're giving me my pick of the litter of Latina/Hispanic actresses I'm taking Michelle every single time. Who do you know as attractive, that's been in Tinseltown this long, co-starred in a few blockbusters that most every "Generation Next" demographic has seen, get overlooked as often as her? I dunno, maybe someone can explain it to me. Maybe 2008 is the year though.

Peace.
