Do you remember last NFL season where Cinci Bengals WR used his ‘Ocho Cinco’ gimmick and pissed his coaches off? Well now Chad Johnson has actually legally changed his fuckin name! Yep, he is not Chad Johnson any more. He is now, legally, “Chad Javon Ocho Cinco.” No joke.

He did this change in Broward County, Fla, which is just near his home in Miami. So his coaches may hate tha name, but now thats who he is. Chad has said to tha team’s web site: “It’s something I don’t think anyone has ever done before…Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I’m having fun.”

2 years ago Chad gave himself this ‘nickname’ as a reference in Spanish to his #85, and put it on his NFL uniform before a game. And something I remember very clearly was QB Carson Palmer ripping it off before tha kickoff. Something you should know if you watch NFL is Chad’s celebrations, stunts, and mouth. His coaches and most of his team really dislike that about him. And he even demanded a trade just a few months back, but did not get it. This could push tha organization and coaches over tha edge and they may just trade him away this or next season. I’d like to see him at Tampa Bay, Philly, Tenn, or Houston. Those are teams I could see going out on a limb to get a WR with his skill level, and he could boost those teams quickly.

Coach Marvin Lewis has called Chad, “Ocho Psycho.” Tha Bengals spokesman Jack Brenan has said tha Bengals had no comment on this matter. So far they have no spoke about it, but you know eventually they will.

Ocho Cinco said his ankle was hurting when he did not get his way with his trade. And he temporarily dislocated his left shoulder in tha 2nd preseason game. Chad is wearing a harness and is expected to play in tha opener against tha Ravens. Wonder what his jersey will say??

Tha Philly Eagles have cut 8 players, among more. Their roster is now down to 67. Tha main and most known of these 8 would be RB Ryan Moats. Moats has been in tha NFL for 2 years and went to college at Louisiana Tech. He was a 3rd round pick in 2005 and had a great rookie season averaging 5.1 yards per gush and 3 TDs. His growth as a back has been greatly slowed due to injuries and inability to pick up tha Eagles offense. As a huge Eagles fan I am sad to see Moats go, but it looks like there was no other opinions. They had brought new backs in and just had to do this. Last season Ryan was on IR after he broke his fibula in tha preseason. He did not play in Thurs. preseason finale vs NY Jets because of high ankle sprain.

7 others cut are: WR’s Bam Childress and Jamal Jones, CB’s Therrian Fontenot and Nick Graham, S Marcus Paschal, O-Lineman Stefan Rodgers, and LB’s Pago Tagofau.

Being a big Eagles fans I wish tha best of luck this season. Hopefully McNabb stays healthy, tha new rookies play great, D holds strong, and Westbrook destroys defenses like he always does..

By now you should know that presidential canidate John McCain has announced his Vice President and running mate. This was an odd year for politics because he had a women and black man running for the nomination, and now we have a women that could possibly be our VP. McCain has picked Alaska’s Gov. Sarah Palin. Just like Obama, there is not much known about Palin.

McCain says: “She’s exactly who I need. She’s exactly who this country needs to help me fight the same old Washington politics of ‘Me first and country second,’” He says this as tha two stand together. Palin will be tha first Republican woman on a presidential ticket. Sarah Palin says: “I’m going to take our campaign to every part of our country and our message of reform to every voter of every background in every political party, or no party at all.”

This selection comes just 6 days after Obama names Sen. Jospeh Biden of Delaware as his running mate. Personally I believe this year for our presidential race is shit. No offense to anyone defending McCain or Obama. But just look at tha facts. Our president has no power over what Illuminati does. This war and terrorism is a fake bullshit cover up to make money and dominate tha world. Very very little is known about Barack Obama. We are not even 100% sure that he was born in America. Some even say that is not his name and he is a fake. So how do we trust him? I don’t trust within our government, or any for that matter.

I am glad to see a black man running, but not this man. If I knew more of him and his work, maybe I’d feel ok, but from what I have found out he is a scam artist and fake. McCain is to much of a Bush supporter for me. Tha world is fallin apart and our government is at fault and can not heal it.

If you look at tha facts of history, racism was created as a way to explain and abuse slavery. Then tha masses take it and make it much bigger than it should be. Some use slavery as a reason why they shouldn’t work or some shit like that. KKK is put in power by Illuminati and our US government, if you do not believe that look at tha fuckin facts. US government funded tha 3rd Reich and tha ‘evil’ people thru tha Middle East, Hussein, Bin Laden, and so on. Then turned their backs on every one, or acted like they did. Its all a lie that is connected and equals struggle and pain to tha public and money to them. Now after all these years a black man is ‘gettin power’ bullshit. Hip-Hop has gave more black men power than Obama could possible get with winning. This is just being over done. I think its a damn shame..

Again, news on Marion ‘Suge’ Knight. Not that long ago Suge was ‘knocked out’ and now he has been arrested. Suge Knight is in a Las Vegas jail because he was arrested on drug and assault charges.

AP says Suge Knight is being accused of “beating his girlfriend while brandishing a knife.” WTF? For real? Thats some messed up shit if that is true. Suge has been charged with multiple charges that include assault with a deadly weapon, battery domestic violence, and illegal possession of prescription drugs.

Las Vegas polic responded to a report of a vehicle striking a curb and when they arrived to tha scene they say they saw Suge Knight standing over his girlfriend with tha knife mentioned in his hand. And Suge’s a pretty damn big dude, so if this is true it wouldn’t be that hard for him to over power anyone. So far no comments from Knight’s side..

For those who don’t know Suge Knight; he is tha co-founder of Death Row Records. Which is one of Hip-Hop’s biggest labels of all time and had their peak when 2Pac, Snoop, & Dre were all signed in tha 90’s. That is before their fall out of Dre leaving and then Pac being ‘murdered.’ Some even say Suge is tha reason Pac was killed, but still to this day nobody knows tha truth of his death, and/or if it even happened. Suge is very well known for his affiliation to tha bloodz thru MOB. He is tha image and definetion of an OG and very well known thru Hip-Hop for this. Knight is now 43 years old.

Hip-Hop legend Dr. Dre’s 20 year old son was found dead in his home in Woodland Hills, California. Andre Romelle Young Jr. was found dead and an autopsy was conducted on his body because a cause of death has not yet been determinded..We are waiting for results of a toxicology report..a rep of tha Los Angeles County Coroner’s office told MTV. The coroner’s rep did confirm that Andre Romelle Young Jr had passed away on Saturday morning. He was only 20 years old.

Being a big Hip-Hop fan this makes me wonder how Dre is dealing with this. There is already focus on Aftermath, Dre, and Eminem because of them ‘returning’ and all that. So this just brings more media focus and attention on Dre. I just hope people show a little respect and give Dre his time without annoying him or anyone around him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dre, his family, and his friends. I have lost family members and know what he is going thru right now. No parent should ever have to see their child pass. Hopefully tha media shows respect to this situation.

Have your ever heard of pay to click sites?
They are sites that actually pay you to click ads. Its not a big payment per ad, usually like one penny or a nickel or something along those lines. Well I decided to try a few out and they actually do make money. Maybe not alot, but some extra money for sure. You have to have either paypal or alertpay to get your payment.

My favorite that I have found so far is at: The-Bux They pay .05 per ad and pay out is only $15. They’ve been around for a while with total payout currently at $996, they have a total of 6723 members, and as of right now as I type this there are over 600 online.

PTC sites are a quick and easy way to just make a few bucks in your spare time. People say you can cheat this sites, but I’m just going to stay doing what I’m doing and clicking ads and getting paid. I have $50 on the site I mentioned above and few bucks on some other ptc sites. If anyone has a way like this that is free to sign up and use that makes some extra money please leave a link in your comment.

I found a very very cheap Cash Gifting/Cash Leveraging system that I have checked out and got confrimed as real and not a scam. I plan on trying that out pretty quick and I’ll post about it. The thing that sucks is its a invitation site only as of right now, so I have to get tha link from the person who told me again and then I’ll post after I try it out for while.

But for anyone looking to make a little money in their free time check out ptc sites, especially tha one I listed above because it pays .05, while most only pay .01 per ad. And again payout is $15. If you have any questions just post a comment and I’ll do what ever I can to help. Also if you need help signing up for paypal or alertpay I can help you. Thanks for reading, check out my other posts..

3 tunnels located under Berlin have been opened. This shows what Hitler’s vision of tha Nazi Germany would have looked like. This tunnels are 50ft deep and were constructed in 1938. This includes tha biggest domed hall our world has ever seen. This is an underground transport network designed by Albert Speer.

Tha overground plans were never completed because of tha WWII, but included boulevards, squares, and huge buildings. For example, an arch dwarfing tha arc de Triomphe in Paris, and tha 290 metre high Great Hall with room for 180,000 people. Hitler called this concept a symbol of tha power of tha Third Reich.

These tunnels are beneath tha Tiergarten Park and are between 90 adn 220 meters long. “The tunnels — which are in surprisingly good condition — were part of Speer’s grand plans, what we now call ‘Germania’,” historian Dietmar Arnold, tha head of the Berlin Underground Association and bunker tour guide, told Reuters.

Last week Dietmar Arnold took journalists on a rare visit into tha dank tunnels. Arnold runs an exhibition of Hitler’s plans. These tunnels are closed to tha public most of tha time, which makes sense, for safety concerns. But visits can be arranged. “The acoustics are incredible,” said Arnold.

Just after tha war British forces in divided Berlin closed these tunnels. They were rediscovered in 1969, but were kept shut. In 1990, after tha fall of tha Berlin Wall, they were handed to tha city of Berlin.

Tha Berlin Underground Association was set up in 1997 and has seen an increase in tours of Berlin’s bunkers. Most were destroyed. Some of this maze of 1,000 WWII bunkers are intact and serve as a reminder of Hitler’s evil history.

There are posters and escape instructions on tha walla and in one bunker there are suitcases, helmets, and uniforms on display. “Interest is constantly growing - we have about 150,000 visitors a year to the bunkers,” said Arnold. “That is partly why we want the bunkers to be protected - they are an important part of the history of Berlin.”

I first read this new story thru Reuters, just to point that out, and was inspired to post on today about it. This makes me wonder what is really be thought of about these tunnels? Read my Illuminati page and you’ll know what I mean. What could really be planned for these tunnels and all of Hitler’s secret plans? We’ll find out in tha future..

Yep. A husband and wife have won tha lottery twice, each worth $350,000! Kinda odd huh? Tha man is an accountant who says he has came up with a formula for lottery picks, and now they have each won. Must be a damn good formula, I wouldn’t mind finding that out. He could make some more money selling his formula on tha internet if he ever wanted too.

They are Verlyn and Judith Adamson. Each had a winning ticket for the state’s SuperCash drawing. Kinda odd to walk in with two winning tickets. But check this out, they also had 2 more winning tickets!! Thats fuckin crazy.

Their total came to $1.4 Mill, but with taxes only about $955,000 - Thats a great prize to win, must be a great formula this guy developed.

All 4 tickets were purchased at 4 different locations. But had tha same numbers and were for tha same drawing. They left a voice message on their phone saying that they would not have any public comments about this. They also referred any and all questions about this, to their lawyer Scott Thompson.

Verlyn said he is a big fan of math puzzles and claimed to develop a formula for lottery picks. Up until this huge jackpot he has only won small amounts. What a pay out!!

Their lawyer has stated that tha Adamsons are acutally ‘exploring patent protection’ for this formula they developed and won from! So looks like they are protecting it and could sell it..maybe? If tha price is right it could be worth it..

Steven Post who is a mathematics professor at Edgewood College located in Madison, where it all happened, has said there is no possible way to create a formula for finding tha winning numbers in this type of game that uses randonly generated numbers to create a winning combination. So that makes you question this. When I first heard tha story I thought scam or rip off. I figured they cheated in some way.. Hopefully we’ll find out tha truth behind this story..

David Hayes’ from North Carolina has caught a record fish. He did this with his granddaughter’s Barbie fishing rod. His granddaughter asked him to hold her rod and reel, while see just went to tha bathroom. Of course he did and while doing so caught tha state’s record channel catfish. I personally live on a lake and know for a fact that is one huge catfish. I believe tha biggest catfish I have ever caught was around 19-22 pounds. With tha right bait they aren’t that hard to get ahold of.

This catfish weighed in at 21 pounds and 1 ounce. This catch was reported on August 5th in the Winston-Salem Journal in eastern Wilkes County. Tha catch has been certified as a record by the North Caroline Wildlife Resources Commission. I wonder if he will or has gotten anything for this record?

David Hayes has been fishing with his granddaughter in tha pond located behind his home since she was just big enough to hold a fishing pole. While reeling in, Hayes said that his granddaughter was worried about her pole breaking because of tha size of tha fish. Image seeing that little pole bend as your reeling and wondering whats on tha other end.

Tha fish was caught on a 6 pound test line and was 32 inches long which is 2 inches longer than tha Barbie Rod. What a great catch!!

Two men claimed to have found a carcass of Bigfoot encased in a large block of ice. So they handed this discovery over to researchers for an undisclosed amount of money. Well it turns out that this ‘Bigfoot carcass’ is just a rubber gorilla suit.

This huge revelation comes out just a few days after a news conference was held in Cali to proclaim that the remains of Bigfoot were found in the North Georgia mountains. So as it turns out this seems to be just a giant hoax. First they took a hair sample, burned and melted it into a ball that was characteristic of hair. The thawing process was sped up and when they exposed the head they found that it was unusually hollow in just one small section. Just an hour later the feet were exposed and then found to be made of rubber.

Back in early July on YouTube and another web site Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer announced this find. At that time, when this seemed to be an amazing find, Matt Whitton said; “Everyone who has talked down to us is going to eat their words.” So it seems these 2 men who turned this ‘Bigfoot carcass’ in, were just playing one very huge joke and so far they have gotten away with it. In an interview with CNN affiliate WSB, Rick Dyer and matt Whitton, simply say that this ws just a joke that went wrong. “Its just a big hoax, a big joke” Dyer said. Rick dyer is a car salesman and Matt Whitton is a now fired police officer. They said they bought this gorilla costume online, then stuffed it with possum roadkill and slaughterhouse lefovers. They claim they were just having fun with the youtube vidoes and this whole story. Steve Kulls, who maintains the squatchdetective web site, wrote in a web post that action is in fact being taken against these two men. They hired attorney Steve Lister to represent them.

There are many theories and stories that surround Bigfoot’s existence and many just turn out to be simple jokes. Until we have physical proof Bigfoot will go on as a mystery.

A woman from Alabama has filed a lawsuit against Apple because he says that tha iPhones 3G network is not as fast as advertised. What an odd thing to sue over. I’ve had slow reception, but never filed a lawsuit against my phone company. She filed a 10 page complaint on Tuesday in the US District Court for Northern Alabama, Birmingham, Jessica Alena Smith, charged Apple with a breach of express and implied warrany and with unjust enrichment. She calls her phone a “Defective iPhone 3G” and is actually seeking class action status! This is very crazy. Looks like she just wants to hit it big and get a payoff. Any other person with phone problems would have contacted the company, tried with customer support, and if that didn’t work simply replace the phone. Her lawsuit says that Apple’s iPhone 3G advertising campaign is misleading. Damn near every advertising campaign for every company is misleading and full of lies, but not every sues, may we should start. “Defendant intended for customers to believe its statements and representations about the Defective iPhone 3Gs, and to trust that the device was ‘twice as fast at half the price’,” the lawsuit states. These charges do match up to many complaints about the 3G. There have been complaints about reception since its release on Jully 11th. People say they lose connection to phone calls even if the phone is in a good reception area. “Immediately after purchase, plaintiff soon noticed that her Internet connection, receipt and sending of e-mail, text messages and other data transfers were slower than expected and advertised,” the lawsuit states. Apple just ignored these complaints for weeks, but they finally agreed that reception issues do in fact exist. The Associated Press was told by an Apple representative that tha iPhone OS 2.0.2 software update that was released Monday is made to provide “improved communication with 3G networks.” But for some odd reason the update was just labeled with a quick description “bug fixes” so that makes it hard to understand exactly what tha update helps with. This lawsuit asks Apple to repair or replace all tha defective devices, and even pay unspecified damages, interest, and attorney fees. Apple representatives have not immediately responded to requests for comments. So Apple’s mistake with their phone issues has turned into a lawsuit, that could grow into more lawsuits. They should have tested tha phones and networks more before tha huge release to tha public.

153 are thought to have died, only 19 survived, in what is being called Spain’s worst air disaster in almost 25 years! A jetliner that was headed towards tha popular Canary Islands vacation resort crashed during its takeoff on Wednesday. It happened at a wooded area just off tha end of a runway. This happened in tha Spanair MD-82 at Madrid’s Barajas International Airport during midafternoon. Tha airline did not release a death toll, but said tha plan carried 172 crew members and passengers. That includes 2 babies and 20 youngins. So far no word on how many children passed. As smoke rose from tha crash, fire trucks and ambulances rushed to help out. They covered a nearby road and field. Helicopters also flew over head and dumped water on tha fires. This accident is being called Spain’s worst air disaster since ‘83, when a Boeing 747 being operated by tha Colombian ariline Avianca crashed near Madrid on a landing approach. This killed 181 people. And in ‘85 an Iberia Boeing 727 crashed near Bilbao in tha Basque region, this killed 148 people. But tha deadliest disaster in aviation history happened in Spain in ‘77. There were 2 fully loaded Boeig 747’s which collided on a runway in tha Canary Islands and had a total of 583 people dead. This is a very sad event and my preyers go out to tha friends and families of those who passed and those who are in critical care.

I have been using it for over 2 months now and it is a great blogging site! One of tha best I have ran across. It is very simple and easy to use and easy to make a little extra money every month. Tha site is growing and expanding quickly also. Tha video contest was a very cool feature, hopefully they have more contests and begin to have contests on a normal basis. Tha new ‘Content Call’ feature is also very cool. People give topics, bloggers write, and get paid! I can’t wait to see some of tha new features Today will have in tha near future. Of all of tha blogging/writing sites I have tried out and read about, Today for sure ranks in tha top 3 and I will be telling more people and trying to get them to sign up and blog! Now bloggers can even open a second paid blog under their account. So you can have two different blogs under one account and be paid for both. So in summary Today.com is a great site for bloggers to make a little extra cash and get more exposure.
Thank you all for checking out my blog at muzikblog.today.com
My second is opened and I will begin blogging very soon.
Check out my links on tha side and read some of my other articles..

This is just a quick review/article about the Xbox 360 Vision Camera. I have had a 360 console since they came out and bought a Vision Camera just under one year ago. I had only used it to mess around and see what it was like, take gamer pictures, and things like that. But up until now I never have used it to try out Video Chat. 2 of my cousins just bought Vision Camera too so we could use them and video chat and they are great. Its cool that you can see anyone anywhere in tha world from a little camera hooked into your Xbox 360 console. You can also do effects like negative, orange/black, green/silver, and things like that. With tha vision cam you can take pictures and send them, take gamer pictures for your Live account profile. Tha only thing I do not like is tha price tag. I did not want to spend around $30 on one, so I just went to eBay and got mine for under $20. If you have a 360 and have friends or family you don’t see alot that also have 360’s, you should look into getting Vision Camera’s, they are worth it.

Presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama have different views on the topic of abortion. John McCain says a baby’s human rights begin “at conception,” and Obama says he supports legalized abortion. Barack Obama said he would limit abortions in late stages of pregnancy. John McCain is very anti-abortion, he says hum rights begin tha instant a human egg is fertilized. John McCain is also standing for making apoption easier, for those who do not know McCain adopted a daughter from Bangladesh. These two canidates have very different views on alot of subjects, which should make it easier for tha public to decide. By them differing on opinions, it is easier to pick tha one who you agree with. I do not have a side on abortion, because it is a very deep and complicated subject that you can’t just say, yes or no, to. There is too much to it and too much to decide from than a simple answer. And McCain seems to know his answer and stand strong by it. I personally think if you do not want to get pregnant or have a baby, either use a condom or do not have sex. Then you will never have to make such a hard decision. You can’t just say, oh people make mistakes. Getting pregnant is a pretty big mistake. If you did not use a condom, that is your fault and your fault only. You control what you do with your body, not your partner or anyone else. So people need to start using their brains and thinking about things deeply before doing them. Abortion is a very touchy subject and is important in this presidential race.

For those who don’t know yet Ken Griffey Jr. was traded from tha Reds to tha White Sox on July 31st just at tha MLB trade deadline for pitcher Nick Masset and infielder Danny Richar. This trade ends Griffey’s 9 year career Cincinnati. I am personally a big fan of Ken Griffey Jr. and don’t like that he got traded, but he fits right into tha White Sox game style. In his first game with Chicago against tha Royals he went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI’s, a walk, and a run. Griffey started his pro career with tha Seattle Mariners, then on to tha Reds, and now tha White Sox. Ken is one of tha greatest home run hitters in MLB history. He is 6th on tha list for most career home runs with 608, one away from tieing Sammy Sosa, and is also tied for tha record of most consecutive games with a home run. His swing is widely considered one of tha most effortless throughout tha league. Good luck to Griffey Jr and Chicago..

Wow, San Diego Chargers let go RB Neal and now Ravens have picked him up. I do not understand at all why SD would let go Neal, but this is a huge gain for tha Ravens. Neal seemed to fit right in blocking for Tomlinson. And now he gets to block for Willis McGahee. Neal is a 37 year old, 4 time Pro Bowler. He is a 15 year vet. Neal is a great blocker and a great catcher. Hopefully he will open holes and help McGahee have good success. Tha Ravens need help on their offense and Neal should do great things for them. Their D is good, but getting older. One gain tha D got that I really like is Tom Zbikowski, safety from Notre Dame. Good luck to Neal and tha Ravens..

As you should know by now tha Brett Favre retirement news and questions are over. Favre was traded from his team at Green Bay to tha NY Jets. Also a Jet is Bubba Franks, so Favre and Franks reunite in NY. Those two played 8 seasons together in Green Bay and had 29 TD’s between them. Bubba Franks signed with tha Jets in March, so he has had some time to get fitted in, but Favre must do a quick change. One good thing for Favre is Jerricho Cotchery, tha two are expected to do good together this season. Cotchery has grown as a wide out over tha past few seasons and with a vet like Favre throwing you tha ball he will just continue to get better. Green Bay acted like Rodgers would do better and traded Favre, which may have been a mistake on their part. Brett is fitting in good so far in NY and brings new elements to tha Jets offense. Now tha Packers have a QB who hasn’t had any real playing time, but who knows. One odd thing is some time in tha past year there was a kid who had his Favre jersey on for over a year, and now Brett’s not a Packer. Good luck to Favre and tha Jets..

Good news in tha Morgan Freeman incident, he has been discharged from tha hospital on Thursday. Freeman was in a car crash in Mississippi and sustained broken bones and other injuries. Freeman, now 71, was hospitalized after tha accident Sunday, which left him with a broken arm, elbow, and shoulder damage. His passenger, Demaris Meyer who is 48, from Memphis was also injured. I’m glad to see he is healing up because he is one of my personal favorite actors and I believe one of tha greatest. Access Hollywood said on Wed. that Morgan’s lawyer, Bill Luckett said Freeman and his wife of 24 years had been separated since December and are getting a divorce. Luckett also said in several newpapers Thurs, but he did not give any more details. Freeman’s wife is Myrna Colley-Lee. So far there has been no divorce papers filed in Tallahatchie County, where Freeman owns a home with wife Colly-Lee, this is according to tha Tallahatchie County Chancery Clerk Anita Mullen Greenwood. Its sad to hear about a divorce, but at least he is healing up and out of tha hospitial.

Comedian Bernie Mac has passed away at tha age of 50 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on early Saturday morning. He passed due to pneumonia. That is tha only details that have been released so far in repsect to tha family. Early Thursday it was said Mac was ’stable’ and Friday a spokeswoman for Bernie said he was responding well to treatment, but it seems it took a turn for tha worst. Before he passed their was reports all over tha internet that he had already died, which were wrong. Bernie had his own TV show on FOX “The Bernie Mac Show.” He started thru his show “Midnight Mac” that aired for only four shos on HBO and was filmed in his home town Chicago back in 1995. Bernie began his career at tha age of 8. He did some standup performance at a church dinner. And at tha age of 20, in 1977, he began to go to comedy clubs in Chicago. Mac’s film career began with a small role as a club doorman in Damon Wayans movie; “Mo’ Money” back in 92. He also was in tha “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise along side Brad Pitt & George Clooney. He was also in “Guess Who?” with Ashton Kutcher in 2005. Bernie was also in “Bad Santa,” “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and “Transformers.” “The Bernie Mac Show” aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006 and got very popular reivews. Tha show was about him raising his sisters 3 kids. Back in 2002 it won a Peabody Award. While on tha ‘Late Show’ Mac told David Letterman tha he planned on retiring soon, that was in 2007. “I’m going to still do my producing, my films, but I want to enjoy my life a little bit,” said Mac “I missed a lot of things, you know. I was a street performer for two years. I went into clubs in 1977.” Bernie was born Bernard Jeffery McCullough on October 5, 1957 in Chicago. He grew up on tha South Side. He lived with his mother and grandparents. His grandfather was tha deacon of a Baptist church. He says he was raised in a poor upbringing, eating things like bologna for dinner. And says it was very strict. Mac’s mother passed due to cancer when he was 16. Bernie said she was a big support for him and always told him that he would shock everybody when he grew up. Sounds like a good relationship. He said; “She believed in me long before I believed.” So Rest In Peace to one of tha funnies comedians and what seems like a great guy. And my thoughts are with tha family, I know what its like to loose someone very close to you..

If you own NCAA Football 09 on an Xbox 360 console and are looking for full rosters for free, here it is. Do not pay for rosters, that is a scam and rip off of your money. Do not waste your time or money on sites that claim they will sell you rosters. That is just a sceme to make easy money from people. If you have Xbox Live log on, put NCAA 09 in, Go to ‘Xbox Live’ section, just under Game Modes, then on tha very bottom to go EA Locker, Download Roster, Enter Gamertag, and enter; Dynamite1323 and download my rosters. I have full rosters with real names, no bullshit numbers. Wouldn’t you rather have Clausen passes to Grimes for the TD, than QB#7 passes to WR#11? And it is much better if you plan on drafting onto Madden 09, then you will have tha real names of tha real players in Madden also. So if your searching for FULL ROSTERS do what I said above and enjoy! Have fun gaming!!

This is just a very quick review. I bought NCAA 09 on eBay just before its release date and because of issues with my 360 have barely got to play it. But in tha past few days I have got alot of time to play it and have to say it is great. I have to give it a 10/10. I have been playing NCAA Football for years now and this year it is perfect. It looks realistic, handling is good, and overall fun to play. I like tha new mini games like ‘HORSE’ and ‘SPECIAL TEAMS CHALLENGE’. Campus legend mode is just like it has always been. Online Mode is great. Play now is great. Tha Mascot Game Play is pretty cool, every mascot team is 99 overall. There is actually an achievement for just playin a mascot game. The New Home Field Advantage is pretty cool, there is now QB Quiz and Freeze The Kicker. There are achievements for passing a QB Quiz and makin a kick while ‘iced.’ The new ‘breakaway engine’ is neat, jukes, stiff arms, spins, and all that. There is now an Online Dynasty Mode which is very cool. You can grow your team program online with other NCAA players. You can play with up to 11 other players for 60 seasons! This is a very very cool new feature, has to be one of my favorites. One of my favorites things that has been on tha games for a few seasons now is how you can draft your player or roster to Madden. Its cool that you can go thru college and develop, then go pro with tha same player and/or team. Overall this is a great game for any NCAA or NFL fan or any sports video game fan. At least rent it and give it a shot!

Hanny Van Arkel, a Dutch primary school teacher & amateur astronomer, discovered what is being called a ‘cosmic ghost.’ It is a very odd and strange gaseous object that has a hole in tha middle that could represent a new class of astronomical object. Hanny Van Arkel discovered this object while he was volunteering in tha Galaxy Zoo project, which accepts tha help of tha public to classify galaxies online. This find is nicknamed ‘Hanny’s Voorwerp’ which is Dutch for object. Soon after his find many scientists were looking at tha object thru their telescopes and wondering. “At first, we had no idea what it was. It could have been in our solar system, or at the edge of the universe,” Yale University astrophysicist Kevin Schawinski, who is a member & co-founder of the Galaxy Zoo team, said.”What we saw was really a mystery,” Schawinski said. “The Voorwerp didn’t contain any stars.” This ‘cosmic ghost’ is made entirely of a hot gas. The green object is illuminated by remnant light from tha nearby galaxy, IC 2497. “We think that in the recent past the galaxy IC 2497 hosted an enormously bright quasar,” Schawinski said. Schawinski said that light from tha past is still illuminating tha ghostly object. Although tha quasar shut down around 100,000 years ago & tha galaxy’s black hole just went quiet. Tha world is just getting more confusing scientifically as each day passes, first water found on tha moon and now this. “It’s this light echo that has been frozen in time for us to observe,” said Chris Lintott, who is a co-organizer of Galaxy Zoo at Oxford University in tha United Kingdom, said. Tha Hubble Space Telescope will be used to get a closer look very soon. Van Arkel said that it is amazing that this object has just been sitting there for decades and amateur volunteers spotted it online. Van Arkel is just 1 of more than 150,000 amateur astronomers that assisted in tha classifying more than 1 million galaxies over tha past year thru tha Galaxy Zoo project. Next tha Galaxy Zoo plans to ask volunteers to search for more unusual astronomical objects, so who knows what could be found? Go check out Galaxyzoo.org I just went thru and check it out and it is a pretty neat site. This was an amazing discovery..

Tha Bears have signed RB Matt Forte, who could start if Kevin Jones doesn’t, to a 4 year deal. Forte is a second round draft pick, 44th overall in tha draft. Matt Forte comes from Tulane where he finished 2nd on Tulane’s career list with 4,265 rushing yards & 5,261 all purpose yards. He also set school records in rushing TD’s with 39, total TD’s with 44, and yards rushing per game with 99.2. He seems to be tha starter so far with Cedric Benson being cut due to a second alcohol related arrest in one month. This probabley doesn’t make Benson very happy to be cut, then watch a rookie take his starting spot on tha Bears roster. But tha Bears did sign Kevin Jones, who could possibly start. So this should be a battle in Chi-Town for tha starting RB position between Forte and Jones..

Tha Cleveland Browns WR Joe Jurevicius has had his second knee surgery, his first coming in January. This could make it to where he can not make it to training camp on time. He had swelling and much discomfort in his knee after his first surgery. This 2nd surgery should help his knee heal up and return back to full health. Just after his 1st surgery Joe caught staph infection and that made him tha 6th Browns player in 4 years to get that infection. Last season Jurevicius had 614 yards on 50 catches and 3 TD’s. He has a 4 year contract with Cleveland, and 2 remain right now. He signed with tha Browns in 2006. Joe has been around tha NFL for 10 seasons! He has been on tha Giants, Buccs, and Seahawks. He claims he grew up loving Cleveland and is happy to be playin there. He attented school in Mentor, Ohio..Lake Catholic High School. So he is ‘livin tha dream’ just as Brady Quinn is. Brady also grew up in Ohio, then went to Notre Dame and tha Browns traded away picks to draft him 22nd overall a few years back. Tha Browns are a growing organization and should continue to get better. I hope everything goes good for Jurevicius and he heals up quick and gets back on tha field..

Bad news for tha Cheifs..Glenn Dorsey, KC’s top draft pick this year is injured. He sprained his left knee during practice Sat. He’ll undergo an MRI and then we’ll know how severe this injury is. “It’s probably going to be week to week,” coach Herm Edwards said. “I don’t until they do all the MRIs and all the stuff like that. We’ll find out what’s going on then.” Glenn is tha 2nd KC rookie to be injured in training camp. LT Branden Albery also suffered an injury. He sprained his left foot during Thursday nights joing practice with tha Vikings. He is expected to be out for close to a week or more. But Edwards says it could be longer. “Whatever time they miss is valuable because they’re rookies, as you know,” Edwards said of the injuries to Albert and Dorsey. “But the good part is that the other guys are going to have to play and they have to be evaluated.” Dorsey will be replaced by Tank Tyler, a 3rd round pick from 2007. Albert is replaced by Herb Taylor. Taylor only appeared in 1 game on offense last year, his rookie year. Glenn Dorsey is tha main point of this line that is being rebuilt to make up for tha loss of DE Jared Allen. Dorsey had a brief contract holdout, he was signed to a 5 year, $51 Million deal on July 26. It includes an option year and over $22 Million guaranteed. Last year KC had a 4-12 season, they need good play and healthy players this year. Dorsey need to make an impact and make it quick this year. He will hopefully make up for tha lose of Allen. Allen wanted a trade last spring because he and KC’s general manager Carl Peterson stopped gettin along. That was a huge blow to tha Cheifs. Glenn Dorsey is expected to heal that blow, but he must heal first. Good luck to Dorsey, Allen, and tha whole KC team..

Carolina Panthers star WR Steve Smith has been suspended for two games. He got into a fight with cornerback Ken Lucas at training camp. Lucas left tha field at Wofford College with ice on his eye and a broken nose. Smith ‘meleed’ him, both players took off their helmets during a break for tha starters in a special teams drill. Coaches are not sure what provoked tha fight, but tha two have not got along and trash talked to one another during practice since Lucas joined tha Panthers in 2005. Smith’s suspension is going to cost more than $205,000. Thats alot of money for a fight between two players on tha same team. Smith is personally one of my favorite WR’s in tha NFL, I hope he just gets thru tha suspension and comes back to play good and him and Lucas settle things. Lucas did not get suspended and he did come to practice tha next day, which was a shock to everyone. Accoring to Jake Delhomme, Lucas was surrounded by tha other teammates. “Ken got overwhelmed with every single player coming up to him and telling him hello,” Delhomme said. “I think it was great that he came out today. A lesser person would not have come out. But he did. And we can’t wait to get him back.” Delhomme.. Jake has only texted with Smith so far. Tha Panthers first game is against tha San Deigo Chargers, which will be a tough game and without Smith it will be enough tougher. Then their second game is tha Chicago Bears, which is a strong D, and without Smith that D will be harder to break thru.”Steve will be back with us..I know he’s extremely remorseful and he understands. But if we want to be a good football team we have to win without him.” Delhomme said. Good luck to tha Panthers, Smith, and Lucas..
