Where Is Christmas Better; Hollis-Queens or Harlem? You decide.

With the recent release of Kanye West's 'Christmas In Harlem', a question begged to be asked, so why not me to ask it:

Which hip-hop Yuletide tune reigns supreme, Run DMCs classic "Christmas In Hollis" or Kanye's new "Christmas in Harlem?" (To be fair, I only posted audio since Kanye's video was blocked on YouTube.)

Add your opinions in the comments, if you'd care to.

RUN D.M.C. - Christmas in Hollis

Kanye West - Christmas in Harlem

An Amazing Save

I'm not a huge NHL fan (OK, I'm not really a fan at all, not since Peter Karmonas ripped out the hockey chamber of my heart when he moved the Whalers to North Carolina), but I can appreciate an amazing save as much as anyone, and THIS is an amazing save:

Senate Republicans Defeat Reauthorization Of Jobless Aid, Tax Cuts

Politicians, yet again, show that they don't give a shit about the majority of the people they represent, the middle class. Nope. Only the people that fatten their wallets in the form of campaign donations. Thanks Washington. Thank you so fucking much!

To Make Up for Me Ignoring You

I have been too quiet lately. Perhaps some will think that's a good thing. (OK, maybe most) But, for those of you who actually like my little nuggets on this blog, here are three extraordinary links. The only way you don't laugh at at least one of these is if your sense of humor has been surgically removed. Enjoy.

Let's start with the greatest Christmas season car commercial ever. For those of you like me who despise those Lexus red-ribbon commercials, this one's for you:

Next is a look at animals so bad ass they make Bullet Tooth Tony seem like Tony the Tiger:

And, now the big finale..... This is so fantastically awesome that I don't even know how to describe this except 'WHAT THE F@%K!' Have a clean pair of undies ready for after you piss yourself laughing:

OK, peeps. That's it for now. Stay tuned to my other blog "From My Mind To Your Eyes" for my latest post today, which is actually NOT about sports.

Fringe - Entrada Trailer

As an enormous Fringe/JJ Abrams fan, I can't remember being this excited for an episode since LOST left us seven long months ago.

If only more people would watch the show. Please do NOT cancel this show, Fox.

More 'Human Target' campaigning

'Human Target' first look: The new gal's a stripper! | Inside TV | EW.com

Yes. I know I keep campaigning for 'Human Target'. And, I'll keep doing so. This show deserves an audience. It's action packed but doesn't take itself too serious. There's a hero you can root for, a devious dude that you're not so sure of (played by Kelly Leak, himself, Jackie Earl Haley) and there's always a bad guy you can't wait to see offed.

It'll take you back to your 'Beverly Hills Cop', 'Lethal Weapon', 'True Lies' days.

Oh, and this coming Wednesday, there's this:

This is the new addition to the show, a wise-talkin', pocket-pickin' chick named Ames, and it only took 3 episodes for the producers (one of which is the amazing McG) to get her into her skivvies.

Come on guys, you know you want to watch...

RIP Leslie Nielson

Very few have made so many laugh like you did. Surely, you will be missed.

The Ghost Of Tom Joad

One of the best live versions of one of Springsteen's best songs. Oh, and Tom Morello ain't so bad, either. You can actually see The Boss admiring Morello's handywork. I can watch this video over and over. Enjoy.

Why We Hate the TSA

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101121/ap_on_re_us/us_airport_security_backlash

The TSA sucks! And, this article highlights why. Imagine if a cop pulled you over and did what these TSA folks do to travelers everyday. There would be lawsuits up the yang. But, your choices when it comes to TSA is oblige or find another way to travel.

Maybe if we all started boycotting airports, refused to fly the unfriendly skies, and took trains, busses or cars, the struggling airlines would put their foot down.

We'll probably never know.

Here's a link to what the image looks like and what, if color is added, it would look like. because it's NSFW, I only posted the link.

Terry Collins Named New Mets Manager

What if the Red Sox went after Jeter? - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog

Like Peter Abraham states from the onset, this will NEVER EVER happen! So stop the angry replies before you start Yankee fans.

But, what if.....

Would you want Derek Jeter playing shortstop in Fenway?

I would.

Below, I was going to post a Photoshopped picture of El Capitain with a 'B' on his lid, but the result would have no question been an aneurism for some Yankee fan, and I'm not the type of man who wants to see someone get hurt, so instead here's a link to a fantastic video a Sox fan made from the bleachers of David Roberts steal of 2nd during game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, or, as Yankee fans know it, the day the cold front in hell began. Even without sound, you can feel the place erupt when he's called safe.

One Way Football at Wrigley

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/ncf/news/story?id=5824661

Filed under awful NCAA ideas, with the overtime rule and the BCS, playing a football game in a place where a football field won't fit. Now, the Northwestern/Illinois game this Saturday will only utilize ONE End Zone. Fortunately, no one's watching this game anyway, so no harm, no foul, I guess.

Look at the pic of the End Zone. This is why they can't use it, because a fucking wall is on the back end zone line. S-T-U-P-I-D.

Human Target

FOX Broadcasting Company - Human Target TV Show - Human Target TV Series - Human Target Episode Guide

Do you miss those action movies with witty one-liners and over-the-top action, but without the anger, vengeance, and blood? I used to as well. Until I started watching Human Target last season. This show is as fun as TV gets. And, I should know. I watch a LOT of TV.

Click the link above to check it out on Fox.com. It's on Wednesday nights at 9.

Don't let it get cancelled.

Kimbo Slice's move to boxing delayed until next year - ESPN

Kimbo needs to go back to bustin' the heads of wanna-be thugs and homeless dude's looking for a meal, and putting it on YouTube. Dude's starting a boxing career at 36??? Though, with the state of heavyweight boxing where it is now, he's almost a favorite.
