Friday Free For All.....Volume 9.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 9 .0

By: J-Shannon

It’s another Friday, and it happens to be the last Friday before the Christmas weekend is upon us. This Friday Morning Free for All is slam packed this week, packed tighter than the back of Kim Kardashian’s jeans. I have also added a couple of new features to the Friday Morning outline, features I think everyone will enjoy. If you have any thoughts, concerns, hatred, prayer request, questions, hate mail, suggestions, or anything else you think I might actually care about, feel free to leave a comment on Facebook or the blog. Here it is, and you’re welcome, your Friday Morning is about to get that much better…..

--Things “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Stories from this Week:

1.       24/7 Penguins vs. Capitals- Road to the NHL Winter Classic- Look, if you have never seen 24/7 on HBO, take the time to check it out. The most recent edition talks about the winter classic, which gives you behind the scene access to the Capitals and Penguins as they prepare for the annual outdoor winter classic. HBO Sports has always done a great job of reporting, and even if you don’t like hockey, you will enjoy this. Check it out; it airs Wednesday night’s at 10:00….

2.       Pool Hall’s Hammered for Hope Event:  I’ve got to recognize Trey Humphreys and John John Delladonna. The guys put together and organized an event last night entitled “Hammered for Hope.” The event was an effort to fill one of Trey’s “Fur Buses” with Toys for the Needy. I’m not sure what the turnout was, as I couldn’t make it, but it sounds like it was a good event. Both guys as well as all the Pool Hall staff deserve a “That a boy” for putting on the event….

--Things that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

1.       People Hating on Cliff Lee- I love how people are all over Cliff Lee for his decision to head back to Philly. Some people on the 4 letter network have been saying he took the easy way out, so that he could be on a star studded team. People are also giving him hell for not taking the most expensive contact he was offered.

• Number 1, why wouldn’t he want to play for the best team in MLB? Don’t get upset because he is a competitor, and recognizes the easiest way to win Ships’ is to play for the best team.

• Number 2, Cliff Lee said it best himself. Once you surpass the 100 million dollar mark, money really doesn’t matter at that point. Do you think a 16 or 20 million dollar difference is going to matter when you have 100 in the bank.

• Number 3, and what I think is the most important. Cliff Lee has a son who is battling Leukemia. Do you have any idea where the best Children’s Cancer and Leukemia hospital in the country is located?...... That’s right, Philly. Coincidence? 

Before you jump on a guy for being a bandwagon jumper or for taking the easy way out, take time to look at the whole picture….

2.       ATL Drivers in ICY Conditions- Use your heads, it’s not that hard. People in Atlanta hear the words ICY conditions, and act like they have never driven before. Over 1000 wrecks went down in the ATL area yesterday, and I didn’t make that number up.

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

**The first clip is from Taylor University. This is possibly the best tradition in small school history. This school has a Christmas tradition at the school, and it’s pretty bad ass how it works. The Friday before finals, they hold their annual “SILENT NIGHT” basketball game. They pack the gym, and sit completely silent until the 10^th home point is scored; at which point the crowd erupts.

**In the Spirit of Christmas, I thought it was only necessary to post my favorite Christmas Movie seen of all time… Shitter was full Clark….

**JR Smith last night gave us all an early XMAS present with the Man Junk Dunk of the year...Feliz Navidad Bro Nameth...

--The “LIVIN’ THE DREAM” Legend of the Week:

• **This is a new category that I feel deserves to be covered every week. Chris and I have talked for a while about people with DREAM Jobs, jobs categorized as “LIVIN’ the Dream.” This week’s Legend is:

**Kirk Herbstreit- The guy is a legend. He has quite possibly the best job in sports. He covers college football for a living. The guy gets paid large quantities of money to watch great college football games weekly, and comment on the action. He travels weekly from campus to campus, surrounded by sorority girls and college co-eds.  Would you trade your everyday boring job with Herbie… Yea, I thought so.

--The Ordinary Bro who deserves Recognition this Week:

• **This is also a new category. This section will try and show some love to the common Bro. The Bro who needs some light shed on him; even if he may not have the most glorious job in the world….This week’s Ordinary Bro:

The On Point Beer Man: What’s better than finding your seats at a sporting event, and a Beer Man checking with you as soon as you sit down? Not much. But what makes a Beer Man special is when he times it right to show back up at your seat when you are just about empty. The art of the beer sale is tricky, and a good beer man can make good money if he does it right. I attended a Falcons game 2 weeks ago, and was heavily impressed by Beer Man #121. He even gave me a heads up on last call, and made sure I had plenty of alcohol before last call was over. So Beer Man #121, congrats, you are officially a BRO in my book.

--Shout-Outs for the Weekend

·         Meghan McClamb- Shout out for the Graduation and new Job…..

·         Minnesota Vikings Front Office- For having the balls to ask fans to come help shovel snow at the outdoor stadium they are trying to prepare for Monday Night Football. Who the hell wants to volunteer for that?

·         West Virginia AD- West Virginia’s AD went on record saying he needs to replace Bill Stewart because Stewart can’t win a National Title at West Virginia. Hey D-Bag, Bill can’t win one because he coaches at West Virginia…. You went 9-3 this year and ended up in the Champs sports bowl because UCONN is representing the Big East

·         Tribble Reese- The bartender extraordinaire, not only does he mix drinks with the best of them, but he is also a supporter of Bro Nameth…. Go see him at 5 Paces, and tell him Shannon sent you.

·         Scarlett Johansson- She has said “Deuces” to Hubby Ryan Reynolds, and is back on the market fellas….

·         Hulk Hogan- The man gets married over the weekend, and wouldn’t you know a fight breaks out at his wedding. No kidding, a brawl broke out in the middle of the ceremony.

·         Patrick Ramsey- Yea, that Quarterback who you always wondered how he made it to the NFL, is back in the NFL, with the VIKINGS. No I’m not kidding.

As always, it’s been a pleasure. Leave a comment if you disagree with anything I got to say, and I’ll prove to you why you are wrong….. Check in again Monday Suckazzzzz.
