Brett Favre Trade: Finally! Do I Smell Madden Curse?
Written by Jay on August 7, 2008 – -
With all the good things this NFL season, the Brett Favre trade was not one of them. Matter of fact, Brett Favre coming back from retirement has taken over the NFL news it has gotten somewhat annoying. Plus, with his eager return, do I smell a Madde curse for this season?
Before we get to the Madden curse, let’s just get this Brett Favre trade talk done and over with. Favre and the Packers couldn’t come up with an agreement due mainly to his indecisiveness of staying retired or not. Well, the Packers moved on and Brett Favre’s selfishness is finally done; he’s going to play… for the New York Jets.
The Green Bay Packers finally reached an agreement yesterday to trade Favre to the Jets. And the ugly split between the two is finally over.
Now Brett Favre re-returning from retirement on various occasions has gotten him on the cover Madden 2009 football game. Now if history plays out, being on the Madden videogame cover isn’t as great as it seems. A majority of people who appear on the cover end up having a terrible season or worse, injured.
Could the Madden curse affect the Brett Favre trade and re-returning from retirement? Well, since the Jets aren’t going to make the playoffs, I think Favre should be extremely careful.
And if he has a horrible season or gets injured, I guess the Madden curse lives on, huh?

Dr. Dre’s Detox Album is Finally Coming!
Written by Jay on August 6, 2008 – -
In a recent interview with USA Today, the West Coast super producer announced the Detox album will be hitting stores around November or December this year!
“I’m just now – over the last couple of months – starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” Dre told the interviewer. “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”
Now, it seems like we’ve heard that line before. I swear Dr. Dre’s Detox album was going to hit stores the past two or three winters ago. But to give Dre credit, he’s a perfectionist and if the album isn’t right, well, he’s simply not going to release it.
“I’ve never set out to do that,” Dre said. “I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does.”

Eraserhead Reunion Concert Rumored to Happen August 30, 2008
Written by Jay on August 5, 2008 – -
If you guys have no idea who The Eraserheads (or E-Heads) are, they were a prominent Filipino rock band of the 1990s that include members such as Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro. This band was said to be “The Beatles of the Philippines.”
I believe the Eraserheads disbanded in 2002 from various disagreements and it is said that past tension has the Eraserhead Reunion Concert still up in the air.
Who knows? But supposedly if the Eraserhead Reunion Concert rumor is true, it will be a one-time thing and sources say it’s mainly for the money as hugs and kisses are very unlikely.
We’ll see what happens, but according to an article from the Philippine Entertainment Portal, the Eraserheads confirmed this one-night concert deal at the Cultural Center of the Philippines grounds on August 30.

Hilary Duff Bikini Pictures/Photos/Images
Written by Jay on August 4, 2008 – -
Damn, Hilary Duff has become HOT! So, I decided to put Hilary Duff bikini pictures on here to celebrate the summertime and her hotness. I mean, she has grown so much into a beautiful, sexy young woman.
In addition to the Hilary Duff Bikini pictures and images, I also found a Hilary Duff bikini video that was filmed during her photoshoot for her Shape Magazine cover. Again, I’m still in awe how much she has drastically changed into this sexy woman right in front of our eyes.
Actually, I never really knew her from her Disney channel days so I don’t have that awkward feeling about her. But even from when Hilary Duff was in her mid-teens, she drastically changed.
Below is the Hilary Duff bikini photoshoot for Shape Magazine and below that are additional Hilary Duff bikini pictures/photos/images.

My Favorite MLB Ken Griffey Jr is Being Traded to the Chicago White Sox
Written by Jay on July 31, 2008 – -
It looks like Ken Griffey Jrs’ days at Cincinnati are over. Apparently, Griffey is being traded to the Chicago White Sox pending the players decision.
Griffey is a 10-year veteran with at least five years playing for the same team so he holds the veto power over any potential deal involving himself.
But honestly, why wouldn’t Griffey go to Chicago? The White Sox are a contending team, matter of fact they’re in first place in their division right now.
The only downfall is the White Sox play in a hard division. But then again, so does the Reds and they haven’t had a winning season for a while.
There has been no word on who the Chicago White Sox are going to give up for this future hall-of-hamer player. Maybe it’s because Griffey has yet to agree to the trade.
As a huge Griffey fan, I want him to win a World Series. And honestly, I don’t think it will be with the Reds.
We will see what happens.

Griffey Throws Throat Slash Signal at Broadcaster Brantley
Written by Jay on July 31, 2008 – -If you know Ken Griffey Jr, you know he’s not the type to be surrounded by controversy. I mean, with all the speculations with steroids, corked bats, or anything slightly controversial, Griffey’s name is never mentioned… until now.
Apparently, on Saturday night after Griffey hit his 607’s career homerun, he crossed the plate and then did a throat slash signal.
Now, we all know that sign means “it’s over”, “you’re dead”, “I will kill you” or at least something on those lines. Well, this is very unusual for Griffey but that signal was aimed at Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley.
Well, Brantley is probably one of the worst announcers but what makes it worse, he’s the announced for the team Griffey plays for. So, that just tells me he isn’t cheering for his team, he isn’t supporting his team, matter of fact, if you’re a Cincinnati Reds sports announcer within the teams organization, shouldn’t you stick up for your players?
Okay, so what did he say?
Griffey said “He said I’m pouting because the Reds haven’t picked up my option ($16 million) for next year. If I was that concerned about money I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”
That is very true indeed; especially the fact Griffey took a lot less money to play for the Reds than his worth (at the time).
But Brantley claims he never said that and the subject wasn’t broached until they both sat down in the players dining room early Sunday. Brantley stated, “And I think he’s upset that I said something about the defense of the corner outfielders (Adam Dunn, Griffey).”
So, who’s wrong here?
Well, Brantley for still having a mullet. But I don’t think there’s any wrong here. I’m a Griffey fan and I’m glad he stuck up for himself.
We’ll see how this plays out.
