Monday Kick(s) Off!

Above is the Brooklyn Projects Nike SB Dunk.

Above is the Newcastle SB Nike Dunk

THE MONSTER’S VOTE: The Newcastle dunk. I like the blue swoosh. Not a fan of the red laces on the Brooklyn Projects joints, though I do think that both of these shoes are hella-dope.

Manny’s Salami – (Crowd Angle)

For those of you that don’t know, on Tuesday night in LA, Manny Ramirez was hit with a fastball straight on his left wrist in the 3rd inning. He was taken out of the game and to the locker room for x-rays which showed a bruise. Held out of the lineup the next day (Wed) on Manny Bobblehead night in LA, many thought they wouldn’t see the Dodger slugger. After all, he didn’t even take batting practice.

However, in a 2-2 game in the bottom of the 6th, with the bases loaded, Joe Torre called on Manny to pinch hit. He steps into the box and for his FIRST SWING of the day, on the FIRST PITCH, he takes this clown from the Reds YARD for the Grand Salami. Insane.

You can’t see much from the crowd view of the ball, but the experience of being in the stands and hearing the LA fans go nuts is awesome.

GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

Five For Friday : 5 Jerseys You Don’t Want to Wear

Shouts to the homie Big Soda on this one, excellent idea. His idea, my research and list. Deadly combination mahfuckas. This is a list of 5 jersey’s that you do NOT want to be caught wearing.

An OJ Simpson jersey. First off, let’s just take a look at this douchebag above. Ask yourself, do you really wanna be rocking the same jersey as THIS GUY?! Besides that, we all know the OJ deal, I don’t need to refresh your memory. The dude basically got away with killing his wife. Then, the greedy bastard takes his non-guilty verdict and runs up on cats in a hotel with guns and shit. Lightning don’t strike twice and OJ is currently in jail. Rocking the jersey of a jailbird is never a good look…..for you…..OR your team.

Mike Vick. The above Falcons jersey might become outdated if another team signs him for this year. Vick just got out of Federal Jail time for his dogfighting sentence. Classic case of not getting rid of the bad influences around you when you make it big. All his “homies” involved got less time because Vick mainly bankrolled the thing. Regardless, this is not a popular jersey with the average person, the animal lover, or the crazy ass over the edge PETA sponsors. Vick gotta do some real damage control if he wants people to rock these jerseys again. Just how much do people not want to be caught in these jerseys? You can find brand new size XL Vick jerseys on ebay right now for $4.95….free shipping…0 bids.

Rae Curruth. The man orchestrated a drive-by shooting to kill his pregnant girlfriend. Do I really need to go into more detail on this one?

Tigers pitcher Denny McLain. Not as violent as the athletes above, but you’d still have to be a fool to stroll around town in a McLain jersey. Why exactly? Well, McLain had a nasty gambling problem. In 1970, they kicked him out of baseball for his bookmaking activities. He has once be known to say that he has stolen over $1.5 million from his personal friends to feed his drug and gambling habits. He’s even served two different prison terms for embezzlement and drug trafficking. He was last seen trying to sell an autobiography called “I Told You I Wasn’t Perfect”.

Lawrence Phillips. 2 Natty’s at Nebraska, super hyped up coming into his NFL career….one of the biggest NFL busts. Cut by the Rams within 2 years for straight up skipping team practices and meetings with no excuses multiple times, he then went to the Dolphins. On that team he was arrested for assaulting women in a nightclub. With one more stint in the NFL and a stint in NFL Europe, Arena Football AND the CFL, Phillips never made the big time. In 2005 he was arrested for attempting to run over 3 teenagers in his SUV after a pick-up football game dispute. At the time of this arrest he was already wanted in connection with 2 domestic violence disputes. In 2006 he was found guilty on seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 10 years in CA prison. LP is so disgraced, you probably couldn’t find this jersey if you wanted.

Honorable Mention: Maurice Clarrett, Art Schlichter, Jose Canseco
