Just FYI
Inspectah Deck, he's like...he's like that dude that'll sit back and watch you play yourself and all that right? And see you sit there and know you lyin, and he'll take you to court after that, cuz he the Inspectah, and also he the Rebel INS.
Makin babies
An arrest warrant was issued by an Atlanta judge for ex-NBA player Jason Caffey for failing to pay over $200,000 in child support and legal fees to Lorunda Brown, mother of Caffey's 6-year-old son. Caffey played nine years in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors, and Milwaukee Bucks. Jason Caffey's off-court activities seem to be just as productive as his on court ones, having produced 10 children by eight different women. Caffey filed for bankruptcy in October, but his case was rejected, therefore clearing the way for him to be sued for child support.
-10 kids with 8 women, vs. Travis Henry's seemingly unassailable record of 9 kids with 9 women. I gotta give this one to Henry based on his stellar track record of extracurriculars.
Caffey, by the way, made $30 MIL in the NBA. But is "bankrupt".

Sun Tzu and The Art of Quarterbacking
I have this book. Haven't looked at it in damn near 20 years, and I can only imagine that's a huge mistake on my part. Odds are it'd be a hell of a lot more amusing now than it was when I was 10 (obligatory flip-through and immediately put away).
Guess it's kinda hard to get. No, you can't have mine.

Room to stretch your legs pt II
Prime Time Neon Deion's worthy companion to Shaq and MJs humble abodes. A small summer cottage, if you will. Be sure to zoom out for full effect.
Must be the money.

Check out Michael Jordan's house, possibly rivaled only by Shaq's crib.

BALLHAWKING!
Man Always Attempts To Intercept Tossed Things
January 22, 2009 | Issue 45•04
FLAGSTAFF, AZ—According to sources at McNamara Advertising Inc., junior account executive Matthew Burns, 28, will attempt to catch or deflect any airborne item that enters his general vicinity and has an intended destination or recipient other than himself. "It doesn't matter what it is. I even saw him grab a used tissue out of the air before he realized what he had done," said office manager Karen Dunham, referring to Burns' habit of either batting away, snatching, or "alley-oop" slam-dunking pieces of garbage that have been tossed toward trash receptacles. "And he yells 'my house!' really loudly every time he does it. It's kind of getting out of hand." Burns was not available for comment, as he is recovering from an injury sustained after attempting to intercept an in-flight dart at a local bar.

Yeah you fat... in the stomach
For our NYU Broome Street friends, hot on the heels of Frownie's request for the freestyle sessions, an interview with Saafir about the backstory and the battle.
First time hearing this led to me finding Casual's album Fear Itself for 99 cents in Discorama (the late, lamented troo one by the West 4th St courts, not the one by Cornelia St) just moments before an anguished Aram. Score.
PS Souls of Mischief's 93 Til Infinity obtained recently near U of Maryland for a hot dollar. FYI.

Behind the scenes at the Review
Heads nationally inquire, "How did he find that?" Well, here is Exhibit A: a simple perusal of Bigg Snoop Dogg's IMDB page (various reasons) led to the discovery of a man I can only imagine is the French Mos Def.
Unless it's a chick. Who's not French.
This name is minutes on end of amusement.

New balls please
In lieu of the golden bat- still held hostage in Astoria, mind you- I will take this as my championship prize.
Keeps the balls at optimum temperature. Sweet.

Some interesting tidbits for Astoria croo AKA almost everyone.
Not mentioned in the piece: the aggravating walk from the Steinway R station to everywhere else. What's that, you say? The Q1-oh-something bus down Broadway? HA! Good luck with that, pal.
By the way, Forgotten NY is an excellent site, highly recommended.

Call of the Ball Hawk
From JoeSportsFan:
Ed Reed a lot skinnier, darker than uncle Andy Reid
With much thanks to "THE BALL HAWK" Ed Reed, the Ravens forced five Miami turnovers, just eight less than the team had committed in 16 regular season games!!! Chad Pennington threw four picks (he had seven all season), one of which Reed returned for a touchdown. Reed has 11 touchdowns in his regular season career, which is equal to the number offensive touchdowns the Ravens scored during the Brian Billick era.The postseason version of Ed Reed, Asante Samuel, set an NFL record with his fourth postseason interception return for a touchdown, moving past Oakland's Willie Brown for first on the unwritten list. Unfortunately for Asante, he doesn't hawk balls like Ed Reed. Then again, who does? Ed Reed will hawk your balls.

From wikipedia- JCVD is "known throughout the French-speaking world" for his "picturesque aphorisms" including:
You don't need a flash to photograph a rabbit that already has red eyes.••
If you work with a jackhammer during an earthquake, stop, otherwise you are working for nothing.••
If you phone a psychic and she doesn't answer the phone before it rings, hang up.••
My wife is not my best sexual partner, but she's good with the housework.••
Obviously I've taken drugs.••
When I walk across my living room from my chimney to my window, it takes me 10 seconds, but for a bird it takes one second, and for oxygen zero seconds!••
I am fascinated by air. If you remove the air from the sky, all the birds would fall to the ground. And all the planes, too.••
Air is beautiful, yet you cannot see it. It's soft, yet you cannot touch it. Air is a little like my brain.
