Shoot the J! Shoot IT!

I came across this earlier on Deadspin and not it's all over the place. But i'm going with it anyways.

Carlos Boozer is suing Prince(yes, the purple one) for unlawful detainer (unlawful detainer amounts to breach of your lease). Apparently Prince was renting Boozer's West Hollywood home for a number of months at a rate of $70,000/month. As if Booz wasn't stealing enough from the Utah Jazz.

While staying in the home Prince made some "minor" modifications to the home. These modifications included painting purple stripping on the exterior, and the Prince symbol. There was also some purple carpet added to the master bedroom. Needless to say C Booz and his wife CeCe were pissed, (actual she was probably the one who was, pissed because she's the one who makes the decisions).

This whole story is filled with lunacy, the boys over at Deadspin seem astonished by the fact that Booz would be renting his home to the Purple One. But it all makes sense when you consider some other stories floating around about Prince.

There is, of course the infamous episode of Chappelle's show where Charlie Murphy plays Prince in a game of basketball (where Prince is crossing dudes like Iverson). And then there is; An Evening with Kevin Smith, a series of talks that Smith gave at various colleges. In one of these talks Smith starts talking about his experience filming a documentary about Prince that never gets released. So Smith starts talking about how much Prince loves basketball. It's starting to come together isn't it.

Prince loves him some fucking hoops!

The only question I have is why rent the house from Boozer. There have to be other balles out there renting homes that haven't stolen from a blind man.

Slept on Album of the week

I think i'm going to start running weekly items, it just makes it easier to come up with shit to write about. So, once a week i'll throw up a post about an album that i think people don't listen to enough.

The D.O.C.- No One Can Do It Better

This album dropped in '89 and by now has gone platinum, but still no one talks about it as a classic. It is certainly unknown amongst casual hip-hop fans, and even slept on by people who consider themselves heads.

The D.O.C. is up there with Ice Cube as the most lyrical of all West Coast MC's, and all of that talent is on display on this album. In my opinion D.O.C.'s flow is flawless, along the lines of Rakim(but not quite that good). This album also has the one and only Dr. Dre on the boards. Dre turns in one of his best production efforts ever (besides the Chronic). This album is like Dre's missing link, it is that bridge between Dre's production for NWA and the groundbreaking production on the Chronic.

Unfortunately this was the last album that D.O.C. dropped. He was involved in a car accident that sent him through the windshield of the car and severed his vocal chords. D.O.C. is still hanging with Dre, some say that he even ghost writes for Dre, but who knows about that. Either way this is a slept on classic.

For real a women's hoops post

This the first time and most definitely the last time i post about women's basketball. The seedings for the women's tournament were announced on monday, and your BGSU women's baskeball team was seeded 12th in the tough Cleveland Region. (The first time that i heard that there was a regional final at the Q was on Tuesday, to say the least its underpublicized.)

The Bowling Green Falcons finished the regular season 28-2, and perfect in conference (only the third team to do it in the history of the MAC) won the regular season and conference tournament. They finished ranked number 22 in the country, and they get a 12 seed? When the final poll says that there are only 21 better teams in the country, how is it that the tourney seeding committee thinks that there are at least 44 ! better teams? That just doesn't make sense to me.

But, thats not where it ends. The Falcons were placed in the Cleveland regional, which many experts think is the toughest. In the first round the Falcons have to play 5 seed UCLA. Who finished ranked 23rd in the country, one spot BEHIND the Falcons. Fuck that shit, the Falcons are getting screwed. This would piss me off more if it wasn't women's hoops, but still.

I'll be back with more when i return from Ft. Wayne, IN on friday.

Are two "regular" footlong subs really 6 inches?

So this is the first point in about a month. What can i say? I'm a busy man, that and my computer took a huge crap. The last post on Klosterman's question was put there to elicit responses, which it didn't. Thank you readers.

In the future the blog will most likely resume its prior form of mostly sports posts with the occasional random column sprinkled in.
