I saw the movie Reed Fish tonight. Besides being a great movie, it had this song in it (last youtube video of the week …. I swears)

I thought I’d also include this video for completeness. It is the last 1 minute of the 1982 Cal/Stanford Game. The last 30 seconds comprises the best sports moment … ever.

So, I put a little widget up on the right so you can see the stories I digg everyday.  Digg.com has become my favorite internet site, lately.

I am also astonished that the Canadian dollar is now equal to the American dollar… Craziness.

From Wednesday’s ESPNU Insider Podcast:

Beano Cook: “Well, I’m just saying, LSU has to go to Alabama.  That’s all I keep telling people… The Germans had a better army, but they had to play Russia on the Road.  That’s the Easy Way to explain it.”

Ivan Maisel:  “Uh ya… and we all know Russia… long winning streak at home.”

Beano Cook:  “Oh, very long.  Ask Napoleon.”

This weeks Real Time with Bill Maher Podcast had Mos Def as one of the guests.  He pretty much stole the show.  Who could have predicted he’d be so knowledgeable – (ok, so plenty of you could have).

While talking about the Iraqi people not appreciating America’s presence -

Mos Def:  “People start to realize ‘yo, this is fucked up son’… this happens all the time… America was founded on the premise of ‘fuck this, I ain’t paying you no more money; I don’t like you; I want my own shit.’”

This one may be the smartest thing I have heard in a long time.  America is living in a culture of fear, and I think he has this point down.  If I only I had the charisma…

Bill Maher:  “But you don’t want to get blown up by a bomb…”

Mos Def: “I don’t think I’m going to get blown up.  Listen, I’m black in America, I live under constant pressure.  I don’t believe in that boogey man shit.  If somebody want to do some shit to you… they doin it.  They motherfuckin ain’t talking about it… sending you tapes, ‘I’ma fuck you up when I see you…’ No! Somebody want to get you, they going to get you.  They ain’t sending you video messages, ‘ya, bitch it’s me.’  No, I don’t believe that shit.”

Sometimes there is a lot of wisdom hidden underneath a rough exterior
