Wow - Apparently this guy was a former player back in the 60’s and had a flashback or something.
After looking at it, you can’t really say he was trying to get out of the way. He delivered a forearm shiver! Especially since this the game was close. this guy should be fired if he has any affiliation to LSU.

I managed to record and watch VH1’s Top 100 Hip Hop Songs ever today. It was OK aside from the fact that (except for Run DMC) they only had one song per artist, and in some cases (Ladies First for Queen Latifah instead of U.N.I.T.Y, Colors for Ice T instead of New Jack Hustler, Stan for Eminem instead of anything else) the wrong song IMO. Anyways one gem I found out in the Where Are They Now segment for Coolio is that he has an online cooking show! Really!
Quite Frankly, this is the stupidest (and most unexpected) thing I’ve ever seen. EVER! Which is why it’s so hilarious!!

My 2 Foreign Affairs Mancrushes, Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek and Thomas Friedman of the NY Times discuss the importance of a new and robust Energy Policy and how it affects our foreign affairs not just in the Mid East, but also with Russia. You can also watch it here.
Also here is an amazing summit of 5 former Secretaries of State broadcast on CNN, described by some as the Most mature US foreign policy debate of the year:
I love this stuff (as you can tell).

Paul Scholes brought his volleyball game to a soccer match on Friday - trying to help Man United come back from a 2-1 deficit to Dick Advocaat’s Zenit St. Petersburg. His silly decision will now cost him a game suspension in the Champions League. Oooops.
As you can expect, his manager was completely livid at him blatantly violating a fundamental law of the game:
Manchester United crashed out of the Uefa Super Cup to an efficient display by Zenit St Petersburg. The Russian side had the better run of play in the first half and deserved their lead going into the break.
United worked harder in the second half, managed to claw back one goal, but a rush of blood and a hand of God saw Paul Scholes pick up a second caution as he punched the ball into the opposition net.
Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to ITV Sport as Zenit partied on the pitch: “We played our best football when we were two-nil down, it was a warm night, we had tired players, but both teams did well.”
Regarding Scholes’ dismissal, the United manager sympathised: “When someone gets sent off by punching the ball… it’s a bit unfortunate, it was an instinctive thing,” when it was brought to the Manchester United manager’s attention that the player would receive a European suspension valid for the Champions League, his face visibly dropped, but he added: “It happens.”
Singling out specific players for praise, Ferguson said: “I thought Tevez was outstanding, he was our best player.”
Did I say livid? I meant hypocritcally rationalizing. Good thing the referee wasn’t, though unless he was Howard Webb, any referee not seeing that blatant handball needs to have his eyes checked!
Here’s some wildcat video of the incident:

and if that doesn’t work …

I found this awesome amateur music clip on Eve’s blog end of ten:
They are called Naturally 7 and they perform in a style they call “vocal speak”. They use absolutely no instruments—just their voices. As you watch them–you cannot believe there are no drums, bass, etc. Here is a clip I found of them on the Paris Subway. This video cracks me up. Especially the woman who basically coughs on them mid way through. Enjoy.
