Jalen Rose Explains Why J.R. Smith Should Be At The Nightclub (Video)
May 21, 2013
Take a nap… Then champagne and campaign! Now, that’s hilarious (and true). Amen, Mr. Rose. Pay attention as Jalen Rose breaks down the ‘after-work’ life of those in NBA circles – like J. R. Smith (and himself) – in a way regular working folk can understand.
‘Jalen Rose explains to David Jacoby that in an NBA player’s lifestyle going to the nightclub late at night is no different than a 9 to 5 worker going to happy hour.’

ESPN’s E:60 on Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh (Video)
May 20, 2013
You say what you want about Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh but this dude is hilarious with all the situations that seem to happen with him. Self-inflicted suspect photobombs or not one thing for sure is you can’t deny the guy can play basketball. This ESPN mini-documentary with Lisa Salters exposes Chris Bosh for who he really is…..just a geeky, nerdy, yet highly intelligent former Georgia Tech student who had an interest in engineering & computer programming. To Chris Bosh’s wife he’s just a “goofball” who in more ways than one is just an entertainer at heart. Despite some of the negativity he’s received it’s kinda cool to see Chris Bosh won’t allow anything to affect his sense of humor.

Snoop Dogg On ‘HuffPost Live’ (Video)
April 23, 2013
Snoop appeared as a guest on HuffPost Live to promote his album “Reincarnated” (out now). That was the main intent. But you Snoop does what Snoop does… like firing up the weed and freestyling … LIVE!
He didn’t mean to though. He said so in the clip above. You can watch the entire sit-down on the HuffPost Live here.
He also spoke on his transition from gangsta/pimpin’ to a new persona pushing peace and non-violence; even weighing on the Rick Ross “didn’t know” lyric controversy. Good stuff.

Man Builds A Real Live Bat Cave (Video)
April 22, 2013
Batman fanatic Chris Weir has built himself a real-life Bat Cave in his basement, dropping more than $120,000 US (£78,000) on his home project and Batman-related interests. Suffice it to say, Weir is obsessed with Batman the Dark Knight. Batman comic books, action figures, and TV and movie posters and other paraphernalia. Kinda cool that his wife (Joanna) is on board… as long as the bills get paid.
While the Wayne Manor version might put more emphasis on the Bat Crime Lab, Weir’s features a home cinema inside the Bat Cave with a 100-inch TV screen where he watches Batman movies, shows and cartoons with his wife and young sons Zachary and Daniel.
“I wanted the room to look like something Batman himself would operate in, but its all for entertainment purposes,” Weir comments.
Weir’s infatuation with Batman began at age three when he played Batman and Robin in his yard with his uncle. Now 38, this grown man can do whatever the hell he wants… and he wants to play Batman with his fam.
Enjoy the video above. Interesting.

Technology: Upgrade Your Golf Cart Game With Bubba’s Hover (Video)
April 4, 2013
Well, Bubba Watson officially has the coolest golf cart ever…because it is a HOVERCRAFT!
U.S. Masters Champion Bubba Watson and Oakley set out to create the world’s first hovercraft golf cart. The result, the BW1, is is golf course transportation that can glide over any terrain type there (and water), without damaging the grass. Will this bring more folks out to the links to try the age old Scottish game of strategy? Maybe, but most may never get out of the cart!
