You would think if the Washington Wizards were gonna feature rappers in a commercial Soulja Boy would be the first guy they’d call. Instead the Wiz have opted for Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Jim Jones. In a related story, Courtney Love, K-Fed, and William Hung are taping some commercials for the Los Angeles Clippers.

The play in the video happened against the Rams. If it had happened against Buffalo, the pass would’ve been intercepted.. 5 times.. I like how the Boys scrapped the punt in favor of the interception on Monday night. It resulted in points for Buffalo a few times, but overall pretty damn effective. Yes I’m hatin on Tony Romo and Dallas. You won the game. Big deal. First and foremost, I’m an Eagles fan so I have to hate Dallas. Secondly, I picked them to cover the 10 point spread in a classic trap game, so I’m pissed at them for me being an idiot. Third..

Third. Cowboys fans. Jeezus Christ. Shut up already. For all of my Eagle supporting life, I’ve had to hear it from the Dallas faithful. The Cowboys, Redskins, and Giants have all won Super Bowls. In the last 25 years, those 3 teams have gone to 9 Super Bowls, winning 7 of them. The Eagles have been to 1. The Birds are the NFC East championship ugly stepchild, and the Big D diehards don’t mind letting you know it…

And so, when Nick Folk’s 2nd last second 53 yard field goal sailed through the uprights, (Buffalo used a teh ghey, right before the kick, timeout to nullify the first kick. This tactic needs to yanked. Thanks Shanahan.) I stared at my cellphone. I knew the call or text was coming any minute… It took a little longer than I thought, but my buddy Newy Scruggs sent me a text message.

NS: How bout dem Cowboys!

HG: (typing dejectedly) I was expectin’ this text a while ago.

NS: I was in the locker room. America’s Team baby.

HG: F*** ‘em

This led to a phone conversation about bullshit victories, teams fighting to the end, Kanye West and the team plane. When I asked Scruggs what he thought about next week’s game against New England he said he couldn’t even think about Sunday yet. He was still enjoying Monday night… God I hope the Patriots beat the Cowboys by 50.

The battle between Hip Hop heavyweights, 50 “Curtis” Cent and Kanye “Bush Hates Blacks” West, kicks off today… 50 has said he would retire from his solo career if Kanye’s “Graduation” out sells “Curtis”, and Kanye thinks he’s moving big numbers already. It’s such a big event that 50 and Kanye will appear on BET together to promote the albums, aided by Stuart Scott. According to the early rumor mill:

Initial prognostications from the respective camps in the Kanye West-50 Cent-Kenny Chesney chart race see the two rappers in the 600k range, each with a shot at beating Linkin Park’s first-week record of 625k back in May, while Chesney looks to be in the 450-500k area. As far as pre-orders go, West is leading 50 by 2-1 at both iTunes and Amazon.com, though Fitty has a 2-1 edge in searches at Yahoo, a reliable measure of buzz factor.

It’s gonna be close.. It depends on the individual’s taste.. Kanye’s joint is a more musical, conceptual album, while Fiddy’s piece is “50 being 50″. My biggest beef with “Curtis” is, for a guy that brags about how much money he makes/has, 50 still has songs titled My Gun Go Off, I’ll Still Kill, Fully Loaded Clip, and Curtis 187. Since we know he’s not getting into any real beef nowadays, what’s he talking about? My problem with Kanye’s album is the same problem I have with every Kanye album… His voice. He’s a talented Diva dude, but I can only take being whined to for so long.

With all of the hype surrounding the showdown, I was expecting more.I try to find similarities in Hip Hop and sports, and I’m dubbing this battle De La Hoya/Mayweather. There was a huge buildup but when it came down to it, nobody got dirty. Nobody mixed it up. It’s just a couple of rich guys using each other to make more money… But Kanye West won in my book.

Serena has a new official webiste, that features a link to her myspace, HP commercials, and her gallery. My favorite part of the video is when she’s throwing down the gauntlet for someone to go to her arcade and beat her at Simon says:

“You guys have to go to the fun zone and play Simon says and try to beat my score because the high score actually is mine. I’m excellent at Simon says, even when I was younger I was like, the best. I think I was number one at that. No one even knows about that. I was. And… I was also number one at duck,duck, goose but I don’t think that ever really counted.”

Simon says counts but duck, duck, goose doesn’t? How does that work? What about dodgeball, kick the can, and smear the queer? I dominated those games as a kid. Can I retroactively claim number one status for that? I hope Serena addresses these issues in her next video.

For the record, Serena’s undefeated since I did this post, but has she thanked me once? Hell nah.. Oh well, here’s a Serena Williams/Kanye West Stronger Nike mashup. Anyone else think Serena and Kanye could learn a thing or two from each other?
