Let’s Talk (Let Me Vent) About How Incomptent The New York Jets Are

If you read my blogs, you know I’m a through and through Mets and Jets fan. My family is from Queens, so it’s in my blood, and always will be. And over the years, the past 15 or so years, that I’ve been an avid sports fan, I’ve grown almost numb to mediocrity and losing. And I can live with it. I can live without winnings for two reasons: A.) because I’m used to it, and B.) because, at the end of the day, it’s only sports. But what I CANNOT STAND is stupidity, and that’s exactly what the Jets are. F*cking stupid.

Going into the season, the Jets and their veteran roster had playoff aspirations. They doubled down on those beliefs by signing Matt Forte, a 30-year-old running back who has carried the ball as much as anyone since 2008, with the hopes that he’d bring a steady presence to the offense. Oh, and he was steady alright… Steadily shit.

I am by no means an expert on football. Never played it, never studied it, I merely watch it. And even I could tell, wayyyyy back in August, that Bilal Powell, who the Jets already had in-house, was a more effective player than Matt Forte. However, the coaches, the guys whose livelihood it is to see & understand these things, couldn’t pull it off. They let Forte plod and limp his way to three-yard-gains all the way until December, until a knee tweak against the San Fransisco 49ers finally put him, and us, out of our misery.

Now, here’s where the Jets get mindwarpingly f*cking dumb. After getting an MRI this week, it was revealed that Matt Forte had a torn meniscus. HOWEVER, Forte says he thinks he’s had the tear all season.

This is next level stupidity for one of two reasons:

Reason #1: The Jets legitimately never knew Forte was injured, which is just straight up negligence, because Forte has looked like shit all year

or reason #2: The Jets have known he’s hurt, but left him in anyway, to either make the money they paid him worth it, or even worse, still think he’s a better player than Bilal Powell. Which he clearly, clearly isn’t.

In summary, this news is the epitome of the Jets 2016 season and the franchise as a whole. They’re either too oblivious, too stupid, or too stubborn.

(Am I a little biased because I want Bilal Powell to start this week so I can play him in my fantasy football semifinal? Sure. But does that make me wrong? Absolutely not).


These Christmas FAIL GIFs Are The GIFs That Keep On Giving

Christmas is one of the biggest holidays of the year, so it makes sense that content creators would try and make a ton of holiday-themed photos and videos to share with the internet. That being said, as hard as the professionals might try to make a viral video, nothing (and I mean nothing) will get as much attention or earn as many shares as a FAIL. It’s just the truth. There’s something about failure and pain and misery that people like to watch. A good GIF is a gift that keeps on giving.

So with that being said, there’s been a ton of stuff that has gone wrong on or around Christmas. Even better is that, because everyone is recording everything during the holidays, a lot of those FAILs have been documented forever. From drunk Santas to opening presents to snowmen getting out of line, here are the best Christmas FAIL GIFs on the web.

Fat Joe Spotted With A Turnt AF Hillary Clinton Planning Next Phase Of Pizzagate

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist writing that headline. In all seriousness, they aren’t planning pizzagate. No, no, they’re most likely lizard people (Google it) planning their return to the mother ship. Obviously. There is just so much happening in this photo I can barely wrap my head around it.

Now that I got that out of my system, let’s break down what’s actually going out here. There is just so much happening in this photo I can’t fully wrap my head around it. So let’s just move from left to right, shall we?

We start with this bald fellow on the left, who looks like he’s getting an earful of Slick Willy. He’s got a grin on his face, so Bill is either telling him a joke, an old sex story, or a combination of both.

As for our boy, the man, the myth, the legend, Slick Wild Wild West Willy, his face screams ‘I’m telling a story that I think is awesome.’ Gotta feel for Bill too, as Hillary losing was a bigger L for him than it was for her. If Hillary had become the president, Bill would have essentially spent the next four years in the White House just straight kickin’ it. While Hillary would be out globetrotting and taking care of diplomatic duties, Bill would be feet up in the Oval Office hitting on all the interns. Now? Now, he’s stuck with Hillary every day till the grave. Huge L.

Now for the centerpiece of the photo: Hill Dog. Looks like ole’ Hillary has really cut loose since losing to the Donnie. She looks WASTED. Turnt. Lit. F*cked up. All those slang words the kids use these days, those are all how she looks. I mean, a couple weeks ago she was a shoe-in to become our nation’s first female commander-in-chief, now she’s chilling with Fat Joe. Talk about a fall from grace. Imagine what that does to the psyche… I’d be boozing hard as f*ck too. I’m fully team #HillaryHittingTheBottle.

Chick in the middle of these two LEGENDS is cosmetic dentist Mojgan Fajiram. Don’t know enough about her to make any jokes, so we’ll move on.

Finally, we’re at Fat Joe. WHAT is Fat Joe doing here? And by here, I mean Ralph Lauren’s exclusive New York restaurant, The Polo Bar. You’ve got an ex-president in one corner, a runner-up president in another, Christie Brinkley’s old yet fineeeee ass is at the bar, and then you have 46-year-old “Lean Back” rapper Fat Joe. Something’s off here. Is Joey Crack the mastermind behind pizzagate? Maybe he’s in talks to be Hillary’s 2020 running mate? Who knows? I don’t. But what I do know is that this picture is f*cking hilarious.

Gina Rodriguez: 22 Hottest Photos Of The Star From ‘Jane the Virgin’

Jane the Virgin may be saving herself for marriage, but Gina Rodriguez isn’t shy to share her beauty with everyone around the world. Gina stars in the CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin, a hard-working lady in her twenties that accidentally got pregnant during a doctor’s visit. It’s not your typical doctor’s appoint when you come home carrying another man’s child. That’s a bit odd. Anyway, I’ve compiled the 22 hottest photos of this young Chicago-born starlet, and there’s nothing strange about that!

Gina Rodriguez has had numerous roles in television and movies, resulting in many different nominations and awards (mostly involving her work in Jane the Virgin). She won the rising star of the year award in two consecutive years for two different organizations. She also can sing and received a 2011 Imagen Awards nomination for her role in the musical film Go For It. Gina is also a philanthropist and joined groups to help Hispanic students receive scholarships and fight against bullying. Getting a college education was one of her family’s top priorities for their daughter while growing up. She’ll live to give back to the world to help make sure other young Latinos receive funding for college. Rodriguez has also partnered with Naja, a lingerie line that primarily employs single mothers. The company’s savings go towards very benevolent purposes, as the money goes towards school books, lunches and uniforms for the employee’s children. Naja also designs lingerie for women of all shapes and sizes.

Gina says in her interview with InStyle says, “I wear lingerie to feel good about myself, to use my body as a hanger for something beautiful. Every girl, no matter her sexuality, economic background, demographic background, wants to look in the mirror and love herself first.”

Ms. Rodriguez is clearly very talented and accomplished. She is also very beautiful and caring to others. She has beauty on the inside and out. But for now, look below to see sizzling hot photos of this prime-time beauty.

Megan Fox Rumored To Be The Next Poison Ivy

This week, news broke of Warner Brothers greenlighting a Margot Robbie/Harley Quinn-led film titled Gotham City Sirens. While the casual fan may not know what Gotham City Sirens (GCS) is, it’s actually quite awesome. Initially written by Paul Dini (who, along with animator Bruce Timm, first created Harley Quinn) and with artwork by Guillem March, Gotham City Sirens followed the exploits of Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman as the three lived together and looked out for one another in Gotham City during the turbulent time after Bruce Wayne’s “death.” It’s essentially three of the hottest, most badass chicks in the DC Universe all living together, being hot, and kicking ass. Win, win, win, win, win. As DJ Khaled would say, more wins, more life.

While the role of Harley Quinn is already spectacularly filled by Margot Robbie, Catwoman and Poison Ivy have yet to be cast. And according to a report from Bleeding Cool, Megan Fox could be circling in on the role. Which would be a HUGE mistake for DC.

Don’t get me wrong, Megan Fox is as fine as they come, and I’d watch the shit out of her wearing a leaf for two hours, but Warner Brothers needs to do MUCH, MUCH better than this if this movie is going to be successful. Everyone knows Megan Fox still finds work as an actress because she gets by strictly on looks. Get someone who can actually act, and who actually as red hair, like Jessica Chastain. Then cast Emily Blunt as Catwoman and you’re really cooking. Honestly, Warner Brothers, if you’re reading this, just hire me to write your next Batman movie(s). I’ve got a gang of killer ideas.

Gotham City Sirens will be directed by Suicide Squad director David Ayers. Robbie will both star and produce the film.

Kim Kardashian Returns To Social Media With A Bunch Of Butt-Shaking Videos

F*ck. Here I am again, writing a blog about a Kardashian and hating myself for it. Although, I’ve found a way to begin to cope with the guilt and feeding into the Kardashian machine. I have decided to remove all thought when writing about them and go strictly primal. Instinctual, some would say.

For example, I force myself to forget whose butt this is, just accept the fact that it’s a nice butt and something worth writing about. As long as I can remove all context from my brain, I won’t hate myself for writing these posts.

So, enjoy, I guess?

I mean, I’m not gonna sit here and tell you that wasn’t super hot.

UTennessee Demands Fraternity Remove Christmas Decorations, Declares War on Christmas

BYX University of Tennessee Christmas Decorations

Anyone who’s ever gone to a college campus during the holidays knows that fraternities love to decorate their houses with lights, ornaments, pledges, etc. Some fraternities just go through the motions, while others go all out, completely covering their homes in synchronized Christmas lights and reindeer.

The fraternity brothers of Upsilon Chi (BYX) at the University of Tennessee were no different. They were excited to take part in the annual tradition of decking out their house with Christmas decorations. So imagine their surprise when they got a letter from the university’s administration that their Christmas decorations and ornaments were against school rules. According to OpposingViews.com, UT created these rules because “The guidelines were created to ‘ensure your holiday party is not a Christmas party in disguise.'”

Now, full disclosure, BYX is a Christian fraternity. Their fraternity is founded on Christian principles and from what we can tell, a majority of the brothers attend church every Sunday while the rest of the school is out day-drinking. But the fact that they aren’t allowed to have motherf*cking Christmas decorations, an American tradition, on their own property is actually insane to me. How is this a thing?

Some of the brothers felt the same way, so they decided to take it up a notch: one of the fraternity brothers tweeted a photo of a sign under a Christmas tree that read “Come and take it.”

Sadly, that photo has since been removed, but we applaud their fight (if not short lived) for what should be a non-issue.

[We’re working on finding some pictures of the house, either before or after they got the letter. If you have one, send it our way via Twitter @COED]

come-and-take-it

I’m not even close to a “War on Christmas” guy, but I don’t understand how even the most politically correct of schools can tell me how Christmas decorations are offensive to anyone. It’s not like the Bible (which is fictional) told stories of Jesus murdering thousands of Jews or committing Muslim genocide. Christmas, taken at face value, is completely innocuous. It’s fun. I’d have no issue with AEPi posting up a big inflatable menorah outside of their house. What’s the big deal?

Stone Cold Steve Austin Opens Up About His Illustrious Beer Chugging

Everybody who watched WWE back in its Attitude glory days fondly remembers Stone Cold Steve Austin chugging beers in the ring to celebrate stomping a mudhole in somebody’s ass and walking it dry. In a recent episode of The Steve Austin Show, the Texas Rattlesnake talked with Mark Yeaton about how exactly those legendary beer chugging performances went down. Yeaton was a former WWE timekeeper and referee, and more importantly, he was lucky son of a bitch who got to toss Austin his beers.

Here’s Stone Cold verifying that the beer was real. Via Maxim:

“And a lot of people said ‘hey man, was that real beer?’ And I say yes, it was always real beer… except for the one time. We were in Montreal, I think it was Sunday, something like that. Whatever it was, or maybe it was against the rules of the building, but it was NA beer, non-alcohol. And so all of a sudden those pictures start making the rounds and people are thinking ‘oh they’re throwing this guy non-alcohol beer.’ … that was one time.”

Of course it was real beer. The matches may have been scripted, but you know damn well Stone Cold wasn’t going to drink O’doul’s like some sort of dweeb. This is the man who drove a beer truck to the ring for crying out loud!

Stone Cold also talked about getting a buzz in the ring and trying to get Goldberg bombed.

“I can’t tell you how many times I left the ring and I had a little bit of a buzz because of all the beers I was drinking. When you’re shotgunning anywhere from six to 12 beers, and maybe you get half of ‘em in. On an empty stomach, after you’ve wrestled, it goes to your head pretty quick.

There was a couple of times when I got to do a little bit of business with Goldberg and we got to do something after a match. I go out there and I keep tossing Bill beers, and this is back when Bill didn’t really drink beer. He had to drink ‘em to keep up his gimmick because Stone Cold throwing ‘em to him. And I’d always keep shoveling him beers to get him buzzed, basically it was a rib.” (Maxim)

Getting drunk on the job is the American dream, and I definitely believe that Austin would get tipsy in the ring. Even with all that spillage, that’s still a lot of beer in a very short time.

As for Goldberg, my favorite Austin chugging tactic was when he would appear to befriend somebody, then proceed to stunner the hell out of them. It never failed to whip the crowd into a frenzy.

The 74th Golden Globes will be held on January 8, 2017, at 8:00 P.M. EST. The Hollywood Foreign Press will honor the best in film and television from this past year.

The nominations were released on Monday, and we should have some great competition ahead of us. Unlike last year’s award season, there hasn’t been too much controversy over Hollywood’s lack of diversity, as diverse films such as Moonlight and Fences are receiving high praise and recognition for the performances from the actors. The Golden Globes is a nice preview of what to expect at the granddaddy of them all, the Academy Awards, so if you’re an awards show nerd like myself, it’s a nice show to watch.  Here’s what to look for at the 74th Golden Globes:

Shout Out To This 11-Year-Old Stud For Saving A Little Girl From Being Kidnapped

TJ Smith, an 11-year-old boy from Texas, is being hailed as a hero, as police say he was instrumental in the rescuing of a seven-year-old girl from the grasp of a suspected child predator.


What Happened?

In Witchita Falls on Saturday, a seven-year-old girl was riding her scooter along Elizabeth Avenue on Saturday when a man came up to her, picked her up, and started walking away.

TJ, who was playing nearby, said initially he thought the stranger was a relative of the girl, but when he realized that something was amiss, he took action.

Thinking quickly, TJ stopped by the home of his neighbor, Brad Ware, and told him of the abduction. Ware and his wife immediately hopped in their car to look for the suspect.

With the help of neighbors, Ware and his wife tracked down the kidnapper, Raeshawn Perez, at a vacant home nearby. TJ was already there waiting, and he told Ware the suspect and the girl were in an alley behind the residence.

Ware’s wife then yelled at Perez to let the girl go just as he was about to carry her into the empty house through a window. The suspect took off running, but Ware was able to catch him and subdue him until authorities arrived.


Who Is TJ Smith?

TJ Smith, an 11-year-old boy from Texas, helped rescue a seven-year-old girl from the clutches of a suspected sexual predator.

Ware says if it were not for TJ’s valiant actions, this story might have had a very different ending.

“He’s the one that more or less saved this kid from being killed or raped,” Ware told KFDX.

Russia Has Come Up With INSANE 9-Month-Long “Hunger Games” Reality Show In Siberia

0

game2-winter-rules-information

Russian people think differently than Westerners, there’s really no way you can argue against that point. Just take a look at the new game show called Game2: Winter, which is the brainchild of Russian/insane millionaire Yevgeny Pyatkovsky.

The premise of Game2: Winter is simple: survive in the Siberian wilderness (where temperatures can reach -40° Celcius) for nine months for the chance to win $1.6 million. The catch is that all 30 contestants (half of which are women) must sign documents removing the game show organizers from anything and everything that happens to them. And by “anything and everything” we do mean “anything and everything.” Here’s a quote from Pyatovsky to take that a bit further:

“We will refuse any claim of participants even if they were to be killed or raped. We will have nothing to do with this. This will be spelt out in a document to be signed by the participant before the start of the show.”

Apparently, that’s not just a statement. It’s all right there in the Game2: Winter rules. “Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.” Just an FYI, I’m not really sure “alcohol” and “smoking” are really in the same category as “fighting,” “murder,” “rape,” or “anything,” but there it is…


How Do I Enter Game2: Winter?

Really? You really want to enter? I just told you that rape, murder, and smoking were allowed in the game show, and you still want to enter the contest? OK, fine.

So the first step to entering the game show is passing a mental insanity test, which you should fail outright because you’re signing up to spend 3/4 of a year in a bear-infested rape forest. But if you manage to dupe the Russian doctors, you then need to come up with $164,000 in cash to donate to the prize pool.

Of course, since it’s a reality show, a couple of the contestants will be admitted by a popular vote–although it’s not yet known if they’ll have to come up with the entrance fee.


What Will Happen In Game2: Winter?

Honestly, we have no idea but it’s a safe bet that there’ll be some exciting moments. As for whether or not there’ll actually be any smoking or alcohol we can’t say for sure because the game show has still made it clear that Russian federation laws still apply. If there’s any proof of criminal activity, the organizers have said that “the police will come and take you away.”

How would they get this proof? Well because the game show will have 2,000 cameras set up around the forest to capture footage for people to watch. In addition to the live streams, there will be translations into English, French, German, Chinese, and Arabic so that people from all over the world can tune into the insanity.

The game show claims that they won’t just throw people into the forest without preparation. All 30 participants will receive training from former GRU Spetznaz operatives, but afterward, they’ll just be given a knife and told to cope on their own.

You can bet that we’re keeping tabs on this show as it develops, but at the moment there doesn’t seem to be much on the game show’s official website other than three stories which are titled “Bears Are Dangerous,” “Wolves and Other Predators,” and “Reality Show On Survival In The Forest.” We’re hoping that this isn’t a red flag that things aren’t on schedule, but the good news is that there are just under 200 days to prepare.

NYU’s Carly Tennes Worked On A Film That Just Made It To The Sundance Film Festival, Is The Coolest 20-Year-Old Ever

Carly Tennes

At 20-years-old, I was struggling to make it through Intro to Film and barely knew my left from my right. Yet for Carly Tennes, she’s kicking major ass and making her dreams come true.

The 20-year-old junior at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study just found out that a film she’s been working on made it to the renowned Sundance Film Festival. As a self-described hippie, Carly is making strides to improve the environment through Divest NYU, an organization that calls for major universities like NYU to invest in renewable energy sources rather than fossil fuel. She also has goals of accepting a Pulitzer Prize within the next five years and wants to impact the world with her art. 

Damn. I don’t know about you, but I feel inspired AF. Carly is killin’ it at such a young age and is well on her way to earning that Pulitzer Prize.

Get to know more about Carly below, and be sure to check back daily as we get to know each of our Miss COED 2017 semifinalists a bit better.


If you could travel anywhere in the world for Spring Break, where would you go? 

Disneyland Shanghai. So far, I’ve been to three of the six Disney parks around the world and would love to someday visit all of them. Shanghai is the newest one and is supposed to be technologically astounding. 

What’s your favorite school tradition? 

This is NYU. We’re too cool for school traditions. 😎

Who do you look up to the most and why? 

Nadya Tolokonnikova, the lead singer of Pussy Riot. I greatly admire her perseverance – how despite the wrath of the Russian government, being arrested and imprisoned for nearly two years, she and the rest of her band bravely continue spread their messages of feminism, rights for members of the LGBTQAI+ community, and better education through music. I hope to have my art and writing be as impactful as hers – and maybe someday be even half of the punk-rock badass she is. 

Name one thing on your bucket list. 

To have a documentary I was an integral part of working on be nominated for an Oscar, Emmy, and/or Sundance Award. 

Which organization on campus are you most passionate about and why?

Aside from IEC, I’m very passionate about Divest NYU. As a self-described hippie, I greatly care about the environment and think that we desperately need to change our ways in order to keep Earth habitable.  If major universities, including NYU, were to take the money they’ve invested in fossil fuels and use it to instead to invest in renewable energy sources, it would be a huge step in the right direction. Just like with IEC, because I’m very busy between school and work, I contribute by reporting on their demonstrations for on campus news sources and making sure they get the media coverage they deserve. 

Cliché, but where do you see yourself in five years? Ready, set, go! 

Accepting my first Pulitzer Prize. ;)

Give your BFF a shoutout! What’s his/her name and how long have you been besties? 

Hi Chandler, Marcus and Steve! I jokingly call them Carly’s Angels. I met them all generally around the beginning of my freshman year, and we’ve been friends ever since. Thank you all for putting up with my horrific puns for so long. <3 

Do you have any secret talents? 

I’m a contortionist! I can jump into the splits, lick my elbow, and balance with both of my legs behind my head!

What’s your biggest accomplishment thus far? 

This year, I’m part of a documentary company, working on a film for a well known news outlet. I found out a few days ago that we made it to the Sundance Film Festival. Although I’ve only worked on small pieces of the film, finding old photos and postcards, logging videos, and fact checking, to see the influence of my work throughout the film has been so rewarding, especially knowing it will be seen by thousands of people. That is undoubtedly my biggest accomplishment so far.

Updated: LSU Student Shot After Confronting Robber, Might Be Toughest SOB On Campus

LSU Student Shot

An LSU student living at the Place de Plantier Apartments on Lee Drive might have some of the biggest cojones on campus. While the yet-unnamed LSU student was entering his apartment, he found an intruder already inside. Rather than leave his apartment and call 911 (probably the safe/smart decision) the student decided to confront the intruder.

For his decision, the two of them got into a scuffle that ended when the student was shot in the arm. The suspect then allegedly fled the scene.

But here’s the best part of the story: When the ambulance and police finally arrived on the scene, the student allegedly refused assistance from the EMT. I’m not sure fighting an intruder and then refusing medical attention are the two smartest consecutive decisions someone’s ever made, but I’ll be damned if they aren’t the most manly.

All joking aside, we’re happy that this story didn’t end up a lot worse.

Update 12/15/2016–A member of the TigerDroppings forum added this photo of the victim. Apparently the user is the son of their kindergarten teacher or something. Honestly the wound looks pretty bad.

Florida News Of The Week: 114 Arrested For Human Trafficking

via HBO

This is like some True Detective, Pizzagate stuff right here. It involved school officials and prostitutes, and the sting even had an epic, movie-like mission name: “Operation Not So Silent.”

Via Patch:

An Osceola County School Board official and 113 other people from across the state and country face criminal charges after the Polk County Sheriff’s Office conducted a six-day undercover sting. Dubbed “Operation Not So Silent Night,” the sting was meant to crackdown on human trafficking.

According to the sheriff’s office, the operation ran from Thursday, Dec. 8 to Tuesday, Dec. 13. During that time, deputies focused on people who advertised prostitution services through online ads to identify victims of human trafficking. They also targeted “johns” who responded to ads.

First of all, gotta give this sheriff’s office its props. 114 people in less than a week is remarkable. I mean sure, it is Florida, and I’m sure Florida has a thriving prostitution economy, but still, the rest of Floridian law enforcement could learn a thing or two from these guys.

During the course of the investigation, female detectives placed phony online ads offering services while male detectives responded to ads posted by others. People arrested included “johns” who traveled to have sex for money and prostitutes who offered their services, the sheriff’s office said. Two of the suspects traveled to an undercover location to have sex with minors, the agency said. Other people who were associated with the “johns” or accused prostitutes were also charged during the investigation.

As for the Osceola school board employee arrested, he is Matthew Phillips, 42, of St. Cloud. He served as the county’s director of elementary curriculum. Guy was just trying to get one off with a prostitute, now he faces offer to engage in lewdness and battery charges. Tough day at the office.

Sounds like the makings of a True Detective comeback.


What Happened?

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested 114 people in connection with a human trafficking ring with a sting mission called Operation Not So Silent.

Female detectives placed phony online ads offering services while male detectives responded to ads posted by others. Police then arrested the people who traveled to have sex for money and prostitutes who offered their services.


What Is ‘Operation Not So Silent’?

Operation No So Silent is the name of the sting operation used by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in an effort to arrest those involved in a human trafficking ring.

Dr. Dre Released ‘The Chronic’ 24 Years Ago Today

If you put a gun to my head and asked me for my favorite rap album of all-time, I’d have to go with Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. Dre’s debut studio album was released 24 years ago today, and it is still bangs like nobody’s business. For me, it’s the prototype for a classic, as it has everything that I’m looking for in a rap album. From top-notch production, to ruthless diss tracks, to songs that get the party stared, to deez nuts jokes, to lyrical wizardry, The Chronic has it all in spades.

And while The Chronic is Dr. Dre’s album, Snoop Dogg steals the show with an absurd amount of phenomenal features. Snoop’s credited with appearances on 11 of the album’s 16 tracks, and he announced his presence as a rap force to be reckoned with in each and every last one of them. He was like a pinch hitter who hit a goddamn grand slam every time he stepped up to the plate.

Because everybody loves power rankings, here are my top five songs from The Chronic in reverse order. If you don’t want to grab a 40 of malt liquor and a blunt after these tracks, you might as well become a priest.

5. “Let Me Ride”

4. “Bitches Ain’t Shit”

3. “Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat”

2. “F*ck wit Dre Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’)”

1. “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang”


WATCH: Rugby Player Gets 3-Year Ban For Drilling Female Referee With Sickening Cheap Shot

Bruno Andres Doglioli plays for Vicenza in Italy’s Serie A rugby league, and he is a world-class dickhead. In a recent game against Valsugana, Doglioli totally blindsided referee Maria Beatrice Benvenuti. Watch the sickening cheap shot in the video below.

What a goddamn scumbag. Doglioli received a three-year ban from rugby for one of the most egregious displays of violence against an official that I’ve seen in a long time. Here’s ESPN with more:

During Vicenza’s match against Valsugana, Doglioli charged at the referee and knocked her to the ground. Reports claim Benvenuti, 23, suffered whiplash from the incident.

The FIR says in a statement it was a “deliberate act of violence” and has handed Doglioli the longest ban in the last two decades. It says Doglioli has failed to uphold the “founding values of our sport.”

If I called the shots in this rugby league, I’d have Doglioli get truck sticked once a day by this little badass for the entirety of this three-year ban. That might be the only way to get through to such a Neanderthal.

It looks like VR is here to stay, especially now that Google has thrown its latest bit of tech into the fray. Daydream is the newest virtual reality platform for Android’s Nougat operating system. Announced back in May at the Google Development Conference, Google’s new VR headset and motion controller are getting the full VR treatment and, at the time this article was written, Daydream is the only mobile VR platform with motion control. While Google’s primary mobile VR competitor, Samsung, is working on motion controllers for its Gear VR headset, they are still unavailable for purchase.

With immersive VR and motion controllers come exciting games that take advantage of this new tech. Here is a list of some of the best games currently available on Google Daydream.

Wonderglade

Publisher: Resolution Games
Developer: Resolution Games
Platforms: Google Daydream

Wonderglade’s value lies in its variety. Anyone who dons the Google Daydream headset and loads up Wonderglade will be transported to a magical carnival where they can take part in a myriad of different carnival-style games. From racing around a track using the tilt of the motion controllers to firing water cannons into burning buildings to extinguish a fire, Wonderglade keeps things interesting by allowing players to jump from activity to activity. Did I mention it has minigolf?


VR Karts: Sprint

Publisher: Viewpoint Games Ltd

If the “K” in “Karts” didn’t tip you off, VR Karts: Sprint is attempting to capture the fun and colorful macabre of Mario Kart within the first-person perspective of the Google Daydream. Karts features power-ups, weapons, and multiplayer, and while the speed of the game’s carts leaves much to be desired, this fun little racing game definitely proves there is room for high-speed action on VR.


Gunjack: End of Shift

Publisher: CCP Games
Developer: CCP Games
Platforms: Google Daydream

Virtual reality is completely revitalizing the space combat simulator. Enamored with games like Wing Commander and Decent: Freespace, I am ecstatic to see this genre rise from the ashes of the ’90s and make its way into contemporary game lineups. With Eve: Valkyrie’s warm reception when the Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR were released, it is nice to see that the Google Daydream followed suit with another space combat sim. Gunjack: End of Shift lets you blast your way across the galaxy using the Daydream’s well-dialed motion controls.


Underworld Overlord

Publisher: OtherSide Entertainment
Developer: OtherSide Entertainment
Platforms: Google Daydream

Mobile gaming is nothing without a good tower defense game. Underworld Overlord puts you at the helm of an underground dungeon tasked with repelling hoards of heroes and do-gooders. The virtual reality perspective works well for making a player feel more as though they are tinkering with a toy set rather than playing a video game. Setting up traps, casting spells, and sending monsters to do your bidding are just a few of the actions available to a master of the underworld.


Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Publisher: Steel Crate Games
Developer: Steel Crate Games
Platforms: Google Daydream, Playstation VR, Samsung Gear VR

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is the intense, team-based bomb defusal game you never knew  you needed. The goal is simple: defuse the bomb and don’t blow up. The difficulty is in the teamwork. One player reads and describes instructions on how to disable the explosive device while another player must take action and complete the method. The game is decidedly nerve wracking and coupling it with VR was a brilliant move to add even more immersion into an already sweat-inducing game. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes has been out on other platforms for quite a while now, but the Google Daydream experience packs even more tense action than before.

Student Straight Posterizes A Teacher, School Promptly Goes Into Lockdown

This is it. This is the first time in my life I’m going to be a ‘back in my day’ person. Yes, I, at 23 years old, am already saying bullshit like ‘back in my day.’ Is it a sign of the times or a sign of my impending maturity? I’m going to go with the former because I can tell you right now, if I straight yammed on a teacher when I was in high school, I’d get in-school suspension for a day. Two days max. Apparently, in 2016 a harmless prank is enough to put an entire school in a lockdown and, in the process, worry an entire town.

Via NBC:

Hamden High School was placed on lockdown and evacuated this morning after an altercation was reported and police said a student making “basketball” moves prompted the response.

Police said a school employee reported hearing someone walking toward her, then saw a teenage boy raise his fist as if he was going to punch her, so she hurried her pace to get away and alerted coworkers.

The school resource officer investigated and police said the student was running in the hallway and made believe he was dunking a basketball when the school employee turned around, according to police.

Hamden High School students were brought to Hamden Middle School during the lockdown and have been allowed back into their own school.

Overall lack of awareness from the people in charge of this school. You disrupt the faculty and students, you scare the shit out of the parents and the community, you probably cost the district some money (total guess), and you waste an entire school day. That teacher, whoever they are, needs a reality adjustment, and whoever is running the school needs to take a Xanax, because this is the definition of an overreaction.

Note: This is NOT the incident or even the same school. This is just a video of some kid yamming on his teacher to give you a visual of what this might have looked like.

What Happened?

Brock Lesnar failed USADA failed drug tests around his UFC 200 appearance, and his future with the UFC has been in limbo ever since. On Thursday, the sports world got news of what Lesnar’s MMA fate would hold.

Following a settlement with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Lesnar will have his MMA license suspended for one year and will be fined $250,000. Similarly, his UFC 200 victory over Hunt will be officially changed to a “No Contest.”

Luckily for Lesnar, he still has a part-time contract with the WWE. He makes millions of dollars for wrestling only a couple times a year. Hard to feel bad for ole’ Brocky. It wouldn’t surprise this writer if he never fought in the UFC again.

WATCH: It Definitely Looks Like These Two Rockets Fans Got Caught Cheating

At last night’s game at the Toyota Center between the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets, it looked like a TV camera caught two people sneaking around. The Rockets beat the hell out of the Kings 132-98, but somebody had to have taken an even bigger L when their significant other saw the damning footage.

Watch the pair get busted for their creeping ways.

What a couple of jackasses. If you’re going to cheat, going to a place with 20,000 other people and a bunch of TV cameras is the absolute last place you want to be. You might as well broadcast your dates on Facebook Live if you’re going to pull such an amateur hour move.

To keep your side relationship on the down-low, you gotta keep your rendezvous restricted to the confines of your homes. The hermit crab life is the only way your infidelity has a chance to remain private.

Even though their decision to attend an NBA game was idiotic, I did thoroughly enjoy their awkward escape attempt. Watching them scramble reminded me of when Black Bush got questioned about oil.
