November 6, 2012
Ever wonder how a multi-million-dollar-earning athlete goes broke by the end of a career? Sure you have. Well, Jalen Rose knows. For real… and he puts the usual suspects on blast (above): starting that record company, creating that clothing line, giving out personal loans (that will never be repaid), having too many kids, divorce… The list got long… and Rose admitted to couple of his own dollar-draining mistakes: copping a Mansion bracelet and a Vertu phone. Nice… but not that nice. Save your money. Take heed up-and-coming millionaires.

Ghostface Killah Speaks On New Wu-Tang Clan Album (Video)
November 5, 2012
In the video above, Ghostface talks about he and RZA strategizing for the next Wu-Tang album. The word according to Ghost: RZA’s studied the game, and all he needs is a bit more time and the faith of his Wu-Tang brothers … and it’s ON! Okay then. Ghost believes. No reason not to believe, as RZA has made more and more major moves as of late. He’s been speaking on “The Man With The Iron Fists” – the movie for which he put out the dope deluxe limited edition soundtrack… and for which he makes his directorial debut… and in which he stars. Moving in front of the camera AND behind it AND on the music front… Hell, RZA has made more moves for one movie than most have made in successful careers!

Will Ferrell Will Do Anything To Get You To Vote For President Obama (Video)
November 5, 2012
Actor & comedian Will Ferrell never ceases to get more than a few laughs out of me even when dealing with situations as serious as this very close 2012 Presidential Election. Clearly President Barack Obama is the best candidate with a shot to win at this time in my opinion. It’s apparent that Will Ferrell feels the same & wants to make sure you laugh your ass to the polls on November 6th & re-elect the President for a 2nd term.

Storytime With Jalen Rose: Stealing Patrick Ewing’s Television (Video)
November 5, 2012
I’m enjoying these little known NBA stories that Jalen Rose has been dropping! They’re downright hilarious for multiple reasons from the mischievous way he tells them to all the compounding & humorous elements that take place each step of the way. In this particular segment, the former NBA star & current basketball analyst speaks about a time he had a little beef with Patrick Ewing when his ‘Detroit Instincts’ kicked it to get the better of the New York Knicks big man. Purrrrre hilarity.
“Jalen Rose and Patrick Ewing never liked each other, so Jalen stole Patrick Ewing’s television. Not just any television either – a television with a VCR attachment.” – Grantland
