BYB Express

Well it may be the day after July 4th but you haven't earned your independence from one thing - the BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to pop those left over fireworks.

F My Life Moment of the Day
Today, the guy I've been dating for 3 years got engaged to a woman I can't stand. I work as a waitress at a catering company, they hired the company and requested me as a server for their engagement party. FML

WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE?



I love this video. Not just because watching some dude wipe out on a motorcycle is cool but because he gets his just deserts. I really hate this newfound appreciation for motorcycle culture. It's like Jesse James made it cool for every douchebag with a Harley to strut his stuff. Plus, I hate it when churches try to be edgy. If you have to have to play rock music and ride motorcycles to get kids to come to your church maybe you should just admit your product isn't all that enticing. So this video is pretty much the perfect storm of comeuppins.

HOW'S IT TASTE MOTHAFUC*ER?

So as you may know I like food and I especially like it when someone comes up with a grand idea for binge eating. The latest thing I've seen was a link where someone made cheeseburger pizza. And by that I don't mean hamburger meat and cheese on a pizza. I mean an actualy burger cooked on top of a pizza. Here's the progression.



I bet Joey Chestnut couldn't even take that thing down. Especially since his poor performance at yesterday's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Championship. He finished 14 dogs down from last year but still won with Kobayashi protesting the event. But Kobayashi was hungry for mayhem after when he was arrested for trying to invade the event. I think it's finally time for a Rocky vs. Drago style meeting between these two.

I WANNA BE FREE (OF THIS FREE AGENT MESS)


You know I wasn't going to get too bent out of shape about the lack of action in the first day of NBA free agency. I knew nothing was going to happen in the first day anyway and that by broadcasting live at Midnight Thursday, ESPN was just setting itself up to be anticlimactic but I was sincerely hoping that something would happen by the end of the weekend and we would know how the chips would fall, if for no other reason than we could all go back to our regularly scheduled programming.

If there's one thing I hate more than watching ESPN anchors mindlessly speculate about topics, it's hearing them bitch about having to do so. It's almost as frustrating as when news shows bitch when they cover Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. You know what? You're ultimately repsonsible for the news cycle and there should be a tug of war between giving the public "what it wants" and "what it needs." So ESPN talent, don't bitch about having to spend 8 hours a day covering Lebron. Noone is forcing you to do so. You could man up and say when something happens we'll let you know. But because you have a 24-hour cycle to fill you're going to do what's easy.

On a brighter note, at least the Lakers pulled in Steve Blake. Should serve as a fine replacement for Jordan Farmar.
