Two Stars Making Heat - Rozeezy

     Rick Ross and Kanye West have just released their new collaboration called "Live Fast, Die Young" and looks like Yeezy is continuing on his hip hop comeback.  The music he produced on his latest single "Power" and the beat he produced on this track sound more like his usual catalog, previous to 808's and Heartbreak (and even Graduation).  Rick Rozay is pretty much the hottest thing going in hip hop right now and it only makes sense for these artists to make magic.  Listen to what Kanye says about the collabo here. Great to see him making classics again after hiding out a bit.

Plastic Bottles = US Soccer Jersey

     I thought this was super cool and now we have an explanation.  I bought my 2010 US Mens' National Team Donovan jersey to support our squad and he's my favorite player with my favorite number.  (Pause) I also found out when they unveiled the new jersey in May that it was actually made from recycled plastic bottles?!?!  Yeah, plastic bottles.  How they do that??  Well we have a pretty good explanation below, check it out.  Go Green, Red, White, and Blue!!

Philly Always Loved McNabb

     Donovan McNabb will be one of my favorite Eagles of all time, yes, I said it.  In an age of players who get in trouble every other weekend for guns, drugs, booze, sexual assualts, this man represented our club better than anyone.  He had tremendous success and you can't blame not winning a Super Bowl on one person.  He gave us much more happy times than bad ones and let's all remember what the Eagles were before he got here.....exactly.  Anyway, I was personally pleased to hear his comments in this interview when asked about Philly and his relationship, since he is now a Redskin....still sounds terrible.

Nike and Kobe, Perfect Together

     Nike has been really stepping up their commercial game with a bunch of new commercials that are creative and entertaining.  Following the release of their new soccer commercials, they featured a new Kobe commercial that showcases his career highlights as he is on his quest for his fifth title.  (Check the Barkley cameo holding up a zero, which is how many titles he has, ha.)

     Along with the new commercial, Nike has also released a new color way of Kobe's signature Nike sneaker, the Kobe Zoom V.  It's called the Big Stage Editon and the all white, gold, and clear sneaks pay tribute to the finals and Kobe's career highlights with laser etching on the white upper.  These are some of the cleanest looking sneaks I've seen in a while and is a must get.  Not to mention, one of the most comfortable kicks out there.  The gold accents reminds everyone that there is a very nice piece of hardware on the line as the two previous NBA champs do battle in this year's final.  Ties right into the golden Finals logo and uniform patches.  The Nike Kobe commercial and pictures of the sneaks can both be found here.

Edison Arantes do Nascimento's take on World Cup 2010

     The World's Greatest Footballer ever, better known as Pele, recently gave his opinions on the upcoming World Cup.  The Brazilian champion discusses soccer's role in the world and the responsibility of the game.  Also talks about soccer in the United States and the change in style that Brazil nows play with.

Get That Crap Out of the Fridge

     I'm the first one to say mayo makes it better and who can argue against spreadable fat?  Thought so, but we all know that's a one way ticket to heart attack city.  When trying to be healthier and help your body out, dieting, exercising, you want to try and find shortcuts around anything.  If at least, simple tips to try and make it easier to eat healthier.  This article from WebMD gives a great run down of what foods to keep out of your fridge.  Of course, a lot of these items are our favorites, but everything in moderation usually works.....unless you're on this top ten list, ha!

OG Stars Wars Trilogy told in 2 Minutes........using Lego's

     Doesn't get much better than Star Wars and Lego's.  The partnership has been a long-standing one with tons of Lego Star Wars toys made, video games, and various other joint ventures.  I've seen pictures of giant Star Wars dioarama's that were created by loyal fans (and slick Lego architects - how they do that?).

This takes it to that next level with a summary of the Original Trilogy all in around 2 minutes.  You'll have to watch it a few times to hear the commentary of the characters, but it's worth listening to Darth tell Luke that he's his father....in not so many words.
