Panic Grabbed My Legs and Pulled Me in

I just got back from a trip out to Denver for a music concert at Red Rocks. I have been to the venue before but it is truly one of the best out door arenas in America. The Amphitheater is basically in a Rock. It has great sound, unbelievable views of Mtns/Denver skyline, hassle free security, no gestapo ushers, general admission seating, and just an overall cool vibe. Even a crappy band (insert Coldplay joke here) would be tolerable at the "Rocks." Rado Brah!

I forgot to mention the 3 day Dance party thrown by Widespread Panic. Uber Killa.
No pulled muscles but the brain is mush, face still partially melted and large pieces of charcoal feel stuck in my lungs.

Panic's run marked their 32 straight sell out show at Red Rocks, which is a record and the Denver Mayor honored the band by proclaiming last Friday,"Widespread Panic Day" in the City and County of Denver.

This post already took almost a hour to create so I am done, however, here are a few pictures to sum up my vacation.

Sexy, Smart & Shady Like a Fox

CBS foreign reporter Lara Logan has been a long favorite of mine. She is smart, sexy, and her foreign accent is icing on the cake. Logan was on the Daily Show last week and she was spot on about her criticism of the American media giving faint attention to both military conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I follow what is transpiring in Iraq on a daily basis but I have to deliberately search for news because the US Corporate media is too busy shoving Hulk Hogan family drama updates down my throat.

I previously thought Logan was married until I read an article in today's NY Post about a Love Triangle. It is with 2 men and neither is his her hubby! Oh yeah, juicy, juice.

The "60 Minutes" reporter and former swimsuit model apparently courted two beaus while she was in Baghdad, and has been labeled a homewrecker for allegedly destroying the marriage of a civilian contractor there, sources said.

Passions got so hot in the combat zone that one of her lovers, Joe Burkett, brawled in a Baghdad "safe house" with her other paramour, CNN war reporter Michael Ware, a source said. The wife of Burkett, a US Embassy worker, claims the sultry 37-year-old correspondent seduced him while bullets flew overhead.

Ooooo, a cat fight too? I love this story.

A close pal of Logan, who confirmed the allegations to The Post, said Burkett's marriage to Kimberly was already finished six months before they sparked up a relationship. As for the other claims, pals admitted that Logan had a one-time fling with CNN reporter Ware - but denied that there was any sort of fight between him and Burkett in Baghdad.

So Logan could be an adulteress, a home wrecker and a slut? God Bless the Internet.













Here is Logan's Daily Show appearance.

Kayne Sucks!

Being a long time hip hop music aficionado, I have never enjoyed Kayne West's music or understood his rise to mainstream super stardom.

I thought his beats were OK and his lyrical flow was just average at best. Kayne's spit was nowhere near Nas, Tupac, Gift of Gab, Biggie, Slim Shady, Qtip, on and on.

Even though I agreed with his infamous George W Bush comment, I thought his ego was out of control and the video of his MTV awards meltdown was ridiculous.

Kayne's back in the news and it is not good.

Kanye West's late night performance at Bonnaroo was delayed nearly two hours, angering the festival crowd who responded by chanting "Kanye sucks" and pelting the empty stage with glow sticks.

West had been scheduled to take the main stage at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival at 2:45 a.m. Sunday morning. While the sleepy thousands in the audience waited, a message on the jumbotrons told them West's show would be delayed until 3:15 a.m., and when that didn't happen, that he would start at 3:30. West didn't hit the stage until 4:25 a.m.

I guess Pearl Jam played late and Kayne's crew took over a hour to put on his elaborate stage set up. Trust Me, do not piss off angry spun out hippies. Before you feel bad for Kayne, he blew off the original Roo time so he could go to some birthday party in Atlanta that night.

West had originally been slated to perform at 8:15 p.m. Saturday night, but requested a late night performance. At least in the first hour of his performance, West didn't address the crowd regarding the delay.

Later Sunday, the Bonnaroo crowd was still upset. Pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph criticized West for disappointing his fans. His comments inspired a "Kanye sucks" chant.

Good to see my dawg RR call out this BS fan treatment and plus, RR knows what real fans butter his bread and how you keep them coming back.

Kayne responded to the controversy by posting this long rant on a fan blog. Regardless if it is really him or not, it is damn entertaining.

Here is a comment from a fan who was actually in the crowd and saying he is pissed would be an understatement.

Well, maybe if you would've downplayed your fancy fn stage, you could've made your time slot! Don't tell me every band at Bonnaroo can follow one after the other, with only an hour or less to switch out gear, and you, best-fn-artist-in-the-world-Kanye, couldn't make it happen.

I was there, I was waiting for your fancy ass in the cold until sunrise, I missed Phil and Sigur Ros waiting to see what all the hype was about. And you know what Kanye, it sucked! Your music sucked! Your dancing sucked! Your attitude sucked! Your fancy fn light show sucked!

But I'm not just mad at you Kanye, I'm mad at myself for being so stupid to think some hyped-up MTV hero could top anything else at Bonnaroo. And I'm super freaking pissed at Bonnaroo for giving you so my hype, teasing us all night with "Kanye will start at 3:15...Kanye will start at 3:30..." and holding our tired, cold asses there.

Kanye, you tried and you failed! You had the opportunity to turn 80,000 people onto your hyped-up bullshit, and you failed! Don't blame us for hating on your shitty show! Blame yourself and that disgusting ego!

I expect to see F U Kayne shirts in the mall and online in no time. Awesome.

Kobe, Do You Need Some Salt &Pepper With Your Tossed Shaq Salad?"

I love it when something from TMZ makes it to ESPN ticker as breaking news and then the sports world spends days on end discussing what it "means." Now, this is the type of crap sports journalism that Buzz Dickinger should be freaking out about.

Shaq went free style rap on Kobe at some night spot in NYC on Sunday evening. Shaq basically dissed Kobe over and over.



I have always loved the Big Diesel and he usually gets a free ride by the media but I think there might be some negative feedback on this firestorm.

I spent the weekend up in New York City. I took in the Mermaid parade in Coney Island(pictures soon coming), saw the construction Memorial of the Twin towers, rode a ferry to Staten Island, looked for Hipsters in Brooklyn, and got pretty blitzed.

On my visit, Sean Hannity's inspiring bold view of America kept ringing through my body. NYC is the top city in the greatest, best country that god has ever given man on the face of the Earth, EVER.



It is amazing how if do keep repeating something over and over makes you believe it more. I was so caught up in New York's fervor that I almost started to like the Spankees.

Get Well Javon Walker

When WR Javon Walker bitched his way out of Green Bay, I loathed the dude with the same fandom scorn I still possess for Saints CB Mike McKenzie, who pulled a similar stunt.

Walker had a monster pro bowl season in 04 and wanted a new contract. Unfortunately, he was blew out his knee early in 2005 against the Lions and without his deep ball play making ability, the Packers bottomed out to a 4-12 season.

Walker sill demanded a new deal, which seemed tenuous giving his knee injury, so he ripped the organization to pieces and the Packers finally shipped him out to Denver.

I started having compassion for Walker after his Broncos teammate Darrent Williams was shot in a limo they were riding in together and Williams died in Walker's arms. The HBO special of Walker showing up to the Broncos training facility the next morning after the shooting still in his blood stained shirt was gut wrenching. I truly felt Javon's pain and grief.

The recent news of Walker getting mugged and knocked out in Vegas is crazy. Here are pictures for Walker partying it up at a club with Pretty Boy Floyd before he was robbed.

I will not rip on Walker like the tasteless Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk does because the man is lucky to be alive. Maybe his story is shaky because he just got knocked the F out! What do you expect? I agree there is something very weird to this story when Nik from the dirty is clearing athlete's names.

what is next, a GW Bush lecture tour on the need for butter diplomacy? A Travis Henry talk on abstinence? An Eliot Spitzer speech on being a faithful hubby?

Here is the Vegas slide show picture tour.

College World Series MILF

I flipped on the College World Series game between Stanford/Georgia Monday night and suddenly a group of hot Georgia fans flashed across my screen. Since a very wise ESPN TV crew kept showing these hot UGA pooners, I took the volume off mute long enough to find out the brunette was the wife of UGA catcher, Bryce Massanari.

Well, Well, Time to fire up the google in 3...2...1...

I immediately found her name was Lauren Massanari and she just had a baby with Bryce. A cute story and Lauren looks smoking for having a baby 6 weeks ago but not the type of juice I was trying to dig up. After rummaging through the predictable lead of how fatherhood has changed Bryce, I came across this doozie.

Lauren's job was put on hold once she was pregnant. She was Miss Nevada in 2006 and finished in the top 15 of the Miss USA Pageant that same year. As a model, she's done several runway shows and some print work.

She also appeared as an extra in the newly-released blockbuster, "Iron Man." In the movie, Lauren is standing beside Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard in a casino at a craps table.

CHA CHING! Jackpot and it is time to overheat the google. Her maiden name is Lauren Paige Scyphers and she is looking silky smooth in this video.



Lauren's picture compilation is pretty damn sexy and I want her hubby to make the bigs so I can see her get more pub. UGA is now my pick to win this year's CWS and ESPN truck guy, take note.



















Here is Lauren making the top 15 of the 2006 Miss America contest.


Here is video of the swimsuit competition.


I know by now you are dying to know who won the 2006 contest and the champion is infamous in the super duper scandalous way.





Good Ole Miss Tara Conner, who almost lost her crown because she loved blow, raging all night and licking Miss Teen USA.

Lauren is indirectly linked to another party girl as she handed her crown off to Miss Nevada 2007, Katie Rees, who was stripped of her crown after naughty pictures of her showed up online.




Lauren is available to be hired as a model and GO BULLDOGS!

US Open Playoff, Rocco vs Tiger

UPDATE: Live Streaming Video at NBC: ROCK O! ROCK O! ROCK O!

Tiger rolled in a super clutch putt on the 2008 US Open's final hole to force a 18 hole Monday playoff against career journeyman, Rocco Mediate

Rocco is a real life version of Tin Cup, who was able to enter the US Open by winning a qualifier playoff in which he was wearing shorts and smoking a stogie. He is a colorful, likable guy that is trying to become the oldest male to ever win an Open.

Tiger Woods is well, Tiger Woods, the chiseled god of golf, who is limping around the course and still the best player in the world. Tiger is the steady stoic corporation looking to pile up major wins like profits.

There is serious potential for an epic battle today at Torrey Pines golf course in So Cal.

Lakers Salvage Game 5

Before my analysis, I want to bitch about every NBA Finals game ending at past midnight in the eastern time zone and every single one was on a school/work night too. BOO David Stern and I hope the ratings suck like your refs.

Twice the NBA has waited from Thursday to Sunday night to play the next game while teams were in the SAME city but when the location changes and teams are forced to travel across country, they play the next game on a Tuesday night after a Sunday night game.

It makes absolutely zero sense for the players, coaches, and fans but we know their interests always are behind those of TV honchos counting up their ad dollars.

After a monumental choke job in Game 4, the Lakers scrapped out a Game 5 victory. I want to publicly eat some crow and be held accountable for my Finals prediction of the Lakers winning in 5. The Celtics simply are a better team and they will easily close this series out at home in one of the two remaining games.

The Lakers have no answer for Paul Pierce and even Kobe is having hard time checking him. The crisp offensive execution and lock down defense that I saw out of the Lakers in series wins over Jazz/Spurs has been non existent.

Shockingly the Zen master is getting out coach by a 500 career coach in Doc Rivers, who seems more like a cheerleader than a coaching tactician. Rivers still puzzles me with his subbing patterns but sitting Rondo for long stretches helped win game 4 and the same decision almost pulled out game 5 too.

Surrounding KG and Pierce with shooters is a key coaching move by Rivers. Posey and House have been instrumental in hitting big shots and making Kobe stay on his man, which prevents him from playing roaming help D that he does while guarding Rondo.

Phil has not found a great subbing mix and Vlad Radmanovic should be ridding pine, not playing matador defense on the Celtics best player. The Lakers seem unwilling to take a charge and that is a direct reflection of coaching.

The Lakers rode their big 3 to save themselves from the brink of elimination. Although the Mamba will not go down without a fight, I see the Celtics big 3 feeding off the energy of their home building to win the championship.

BTW, Crow tastes the same as how Kendrick Perkink's untucked dress shirt looked, awful.
