Recipe of the Week

This week's recipe calls for a little home fashioned Chili! This delightful dish is robust with flavor and if you use the right ingredients it isn't that bad for you either! This recipe is pretty spicy, I would recommend that you start of with only a 1/2 tsp of Cayan Pepper, taste and add more if your pallet allows you to! The recipe is as follows:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb lean meat, ground will do fine.
• 3 cans of beans. I prefer a mix for interest: pinto, black, navy.
• 1 Large can of stewed tomatoes
• 1 small can of tomato paste
• 1 large onion
• 5 cloves garlic
• 2T black pepper, fresh ground is best
• 1T ground cumin
• 1T onion powder
• 1T Paprika
• 1T Oregano
• 1T salt
• 3T chili powder
• 1 1/2 t Ground Cayan Pepper

STEPS

1. Brown meat in large pan. When the meat is nearly done, stir in the onion and garlic and continue stirring until the meat is done and the onions/garlic are becoming transparent.
2. Gently stir in tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, undrained beans, and the other dry ingredients. Chop the stewed tomatoes with your spoon (they're really soft) as you continue to stir in the ingredients.
3. Add Red pepper (Cayan) to taste--as much as you think you can handle (see heat scale). Simmer at least 30 minutes.
4. Chili will thicken as it simmers. To increase evaporation, heat without a lid.
5. Simmer at least 15 minutes on LOW heat. Makes about a gallon of Chili!

Wall Street

I have to recommend "Wall Street" as the movie of the week. This movie stars the never aging but always agile Michael Douglas, the hot-shot him self Charlie Sheen and the mermaid/one-eyed assassin Daryl Hannah. Not to mention Honorable mentions to Charlie's pop Martin and that jacked doctor from Scrubs.

If you liked Boiler Room then you'll love Wall Street, they actually refer to this movie in BR. As for someone who wants to get into the finance field I almost Pearl Jammed when I finished watching this shit.

Charlie is this cold calling, brass balled stock broker who wants it all and will not stop until he gets it. He's even willing to bend a few of the SEC's rules to get there. He is so deep into living this dream of being a rich mofo that he sets himself up with the biggest financial manager in the U.S. (Michael Douglas).

Without giving to much away, because after all this is a movie recommendation not fucking cliff notes on the flick. You are taken along the journey of Sheen's rocket liftoff in the financial world diving deep into Futures, SWAPS and Options not to mention off-shore accounts and company buy-outs not to get confused with our current economic cluster fuck of bail-outs!

Douglas's character is a fucking bad ass a high flying, no shit, I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast kind of guy! Teaches Sheen all the "insides" of the business while they both make each other a shit load of money fast!

You can get past all of the financial lingo by just knowing that someone can still make money off a stock that is plummeting down the tubes. Definitely rent this movie, and watch it in your best shirt-tie combo, loafers off, sitting on the end seat of the couch with a glass of Johnny Walker and a fat cigar. Oh and if you can ditch the belt and go with the suspenders!

Stand Up and Shout!

I will shout from the roof tops, and argue with any nay sayers to my #1

My number one stand up comic....

He has been out of the game for a long time, he however still holds the crown

He currently hold the crown for best two stand up's ever seen, done, or even glanced at

Eddie Murphy

1.) Raw (1987)

2.) Delirious (1983)

Now i am not commending his Movie choices and role choices, because his recent movies have not been anything compared to some of the performances he gave back in the day. Not much can hold a candle to coming to america, especially not pluto nash...

Now that I think about it what happened to Eddie Murphy's career....He used to be on top of the world

Anyway please enjoy some clips from Raw and Delirious

RAW

Delirious

More to come about Eddie Murphy's career...

The Consummate Businessman

I completed my MBA while working full time so the name of the game was just get it done...just get that 25 page paper done, just get that business plan and oral presentation done, just get that final exam done, and at long last this past December I was done. I don't know how much of what I was taught I really learned, but one nugget I did ingest and will never forget is that a good businessman recognizes opportunity in the face of adversity and then strikes while the iron is hot.

When you hear the name Vince McManon, you likely think leader of a group of steroid-infused, costume-wearing, funny nickname-owning men and women who deliver flying elbow drops on each other, all the while knowing who and how the victor will triumph. All of us can recall the famous faces of the 80's and 90's when wrestling was at its peak...The Undertaker, Bret "The Hitman" Heart, Rowdy Rowdy Piper, Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Million Dollar Man, Lex Luger, Andre the Giant, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, The Ultimate Warrior...the list goes on and on and on. We remember their finishing moves, their outfits, their famous matches. The man behind all of that is just as well known, though perhaps not as recognized as he should be for his business acumen.

Vince McMahon is a business man, and a good one at that. When he's not crafting intricate story lines, he's finding ways to further grow his company. He did it again last night as his traveling circus of wrestlers were kicked to the curb by Denver's Pepsi Center in favor of the Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals despite the fact that they booked the building last year. He started his marketing bonanza by showcasing a live Raw is War event in where else, but The Staples Center in LA. The night featured McMahon punching out Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke as Jack Nicholson and David Stern sat ringside. The festive night ended with a tag team, battle royal between the Lakers and Nuggets...I don't think I need to tell you who won.

Like it or not, Vince McMahon is a marketing genius. Living by the mantra "no press is bad press," he does what every great professional should do in trouble times...brainstorm ways to prosper.

World Wrestling Entertainment will return to the Mile High City on August 7...there's no telling what Mr. McMahon will have up his wrestling singlet then!

Rugby and Lacrosse: Eerily Similar Yet Alarmingly Different

As I watched lax powerhouse Syracuse put a dagger the size on a long stick into the hearts of the Cornell Big Red in yesterday's thrilling overtime national championship game, a thought came to mind. Rugby, a sport I currently play, and lacrosse, a sport I used to play and still love, are incredibly similar...two underground, off the mainstream radar sports who take a backseat to the Fab Four (football, baseball, basketball and hockey) in the minds of most Americans. What nearly makes them the Olsen Twins is how each dominates a particular geographic region in this country, but continues to struggle in its quest to expand elsewhere. Who dominates the rugby pitch...Cal, BYU, San Diego State, St. Mary's, Utah...who excels with the lacrosse stick...Virginia, Duke, Princeton, North Carolina, John's Hopkins and of course, yesterday's New York tandem.

What I find most ironic is that while rugby rules the West and lax controls the East, both sports attract similar athletes...quick, rugged, often unshaven, preppy and some would say privileged, polo-shirt wearing young white men. Both sports have been around for centuries...any wonder that the Ivy Leaguers tend to excel in each? The sports are often handed down from father to son and each also combines a bit of hooliganism...no one is ever going to accuse a rugger or a lacrosse player of running too low a tab at the local watering hole. And I don't think I'm crazy in comparing a fly-half to a middie or a winger to an attacker. But that's where the similarities end.

While both sports look to expand their presence in the United States, rugby's eyes go overseas while lax remains domestic. Since the beginning of this decade, lacrosse has done a phenomenal job in bringing its sport to the Left Coast...the creation of more collegiate programs, the recruiting of West Coast players by Syracuse and other eastern elites and the proposed expansion of Major League Lacrosse in places like Seattle, Portland, San Diego and Salt Lake City have all been a result of their dedication. Meanwhile, rugby continues to mire in the global rankings behind the likes of Canada, Russia and Romania, and appears to remain steadfast in its approach to import last names like Sika, Moeakiola and Enosa to its national cause. Now certainly rugby has a vastly greater worldwide presence than lacrosse so maybe it's only natural that the sport's masterminds look to New Zealand and Australia rather than New York and Arizona, but if the US Eagles ever do make some noise in the Rugby World Cup, won't we be looking for Johnson's, Smith's and White's?

Perhaps most fitting about lacrosse's annual Memorial Day Madness is that it occurs on a weekend when we salute all those who have and continue to fight for this great land. But here's where I find an additional dose of irony...nearly all of those who have battled under the red, white and blue are immigrants...lacrosse meanwhile, is native to our country.

Fostered by the cat-gut strings and wooden shafts of the Native Americans, lax truly is our national pastime.

LeBron, Kobe, D-Wade...Melo?

Remember the 2003 NBA Draft...LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony, all selected in the top 5. Well we all know how James and D-Wade have fared...one is arguably the best player in the league, the other already owns jewelry and both are year in and year out MVP candidates. Even Bosh gets boasted about, his smooth outside shot and rugged inside the paint toughness. All three have GMs across the country counting down the seconds to the summer of 2010 when all will be free.

More or less, the forgotten man is Melo Yellow...but did we forget that many in the media and around the league felt he deserved the Rookie of the Year over King James, did it slip our mind that he was arguably more consistent than any other player on The Redeem Team and has amnesia caused us to overlook the fact that until recently his teams have generally outperformed Bron's?

Well maybe 2009 is the time, the time when we can feel comfortable adding Carmelo to the Tremendous Trio of James, Bryant and Wade. The former Cuse' stud has poured in 73 points in two games against the Lakers and has his Thuggets in the driver's seat as they head back to the Rocky Mountains.

Some would argue that the addition of Chauncey Billups, unquestionably the most proficient point guard in this year's playoffs, has sparked Melo to this meteoric rise. I can't disagree with you there, but I'll add something else to that concoction, it's an ingredient that David Stern loves to mix in his drinks...IMAGE. I suspect that Carmelo learned a thing or two from the pearly white smile of James, the hilarious commercials D-Wade does with Sir Charles and the people personality of stars like Dwight Howard. When this season began...gone were the cornrows, out was the menacing stare, no talk of pot possession or questionable behavior.

Maybe it's just me, but I suspect Carmelo grew a bit jealous of the likability of others in the league. This year's playoffs is his coming out party...he is just as unstoppable as those other guys, his defense on Kobe is stifling, his passion to win is apparent, his maturity...at last, has been revealed.

Jay's Thought of the Day: NBA

A good morning to you all out there surfing the web, thanks for stopping by to check out the greatest unknown blog on the web. We are almost as unknown as the Pittsburgh Pirates Manager but i digress. I just wanted to share with you, my little minions, my thought of the day. The question i asked myself on my long drive into work today was "Is the NBA back?" Growing up we had Bird vs Magic, Ewing vs Olajuwon, Robinson vs Shaq, Jordan vs Miller, Jordan vs Thomas and many many more. Those were the "good ole days". You knew that the playoffs were going to be nothing short of magical. Once the greats had retired in the mid to late 90's and early 2000's the NBA went down and went down fast. The only thing that was exciting about the NBA in the early 2000's until about 2 years ago was the draft! Of the four superstars that are in the NBA Conference finals three of them were drafted in 2003 or 2004 (Lebron James 2003, Carmelo Anthony 2003, Dwight Howard 2004) I think it is fair to say that with young superstars who arent even in the conference finals including but not limited to Chris Paul, Dawyne Wade, Brandon Roy, Deron Williams and Chris Bosh the NBA is back and getting stronger and stronger as the years go on. No longer are we looking forward to the draft and hope our teams make good picks but rather the playoffs where seven game series' in the first round occur where it may go down as "The Greatest" if not one of the greatest first round series EVER!!! We now have matchups like Lebron vs Dwight and Carmelo vs Kobe going on and the future only gets better. Let me be the first to say to the owners, to the fans, to the players and to a job well done by David Stern, Welcome Back NBA, We Missed You!

Cleveland Rocked

The Cavs are in trouble, I mean major trouble...now you're probably saying no shit Brendan, they lost their opening round game last night at The Q, a place where they have been virtually invincible all season. But, the trouble I'm talking about extends far beyond Game 1, far beyond losing before a rowdy (and probably at game's end disbelieving) home crowd, it's trouble that may just blow some more air under the Magical Carpet Ride for Hedo, Rashard and Dwight into The Finals.

The James Gang was exposed for what they really were last night...a team with one out of this world stud, a less than scintillating Robin and a cast of role players who don't quite make you jump out of your LazyBoy. Their defense was stretched beyond recognition as Orlando banged trifecta's from distances as far away as The Tower of Terror.

I wouldn't be so worried about Cleveland if they got blown out of their building last night...you could have easily chalked that up to the rust they acquired from the month off they were granted after the Atlanta series. Last night they played well though, really well...I'm taking 63 points in the first half well, a 16-point lead at one point well, only 5 turnovers well, I fucking mean 49 points from King James well! But still the Magic had one trick after another up their collective sleeve.

I'm not ready to say the Magic have enough illusions left to send the Cavs on an early ride down Splash Mountain, but what I am confident in saying is that this series is destined for 7. I'm further confident in saying that if Orlando had Jameer Nelson, I don't think this would even be a contest. The rebuilding Pistons and the youthful Hawks were mere launching pads for Captain 23 and his band of flight attendants, but the Magic are those economy passengers that pester the airline's front desk worker into moving them into first class.

I still believe that despite some obvious kinks in their armor, the Cavs will win the NBA title this year...they just seem to be this year's team of destiny, but answer this trivia question for me.

Other than the 2005 Detroit Pistons, name for me an NBA team that has recently (within the last 25 years) won a title without at least two bonafide superstars...Pierce/Garnett/Allen, Kobe/Shaq, Tim/Tony/Manu, Jordan/Pippen, Olajuwon/Drexler, Thomas/Dumars, Johnson/Worthy, Bird/McHale/Parrish.

LeBron James and Mo Williams? Ahhh, doesn't quite role off the tongue the way the rest do.

Nevertheless, I'll stick with Bron Bron...perhaps this is yet another statistical obstacle that stands in his flight path to becoming the greatest basketball player of all time.

Will Vick Stick?

Unless you've been placing bets at a local underground dogfighting ring for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt heard that Michael Vick has been released from prison and will begin home confinement. By the laws governing this great country, Vick has served his time and like any robber, wife-beater or Enron executive, he is free to pursue another job. For Vick, I don't believe the question is will he again be given full-time employment in the NFL, after all Seattle, San Francisco, St. Louis are all possible suitors. The million dollar question is how will his return be received by the franchise, its fans and PETA-pleasing dog lovers.

We live in a society that looks for ways to forgive....Ray Lewis, Kobe Bryant, ARod...all much maligned, but all cheered wildly after the game-saving tackle, the clutch basket, the late-inning bomb. Our Hall of Fames are filled with murderers, rapists and cheaters. Vick's case though is somehow different...it incited racial and moral debate not seen since the Duke lacrosse incident. It asked us all to place a value on the animals we are so accustomed to feeling around our ankles at the dinner table, it opened our eyes to a sport and culture few of us new the pervasiveness of, it transformed us all into scolding, subjective judges and jurors, it caused the everlasting black vs. white debate to resurface.

I wouldn't consider myself a Michael Vick fan, and not because of what his wallet and fame did to so many innocent dogs, he's just not a player that resonates with me. But even I can't admit to not putting life of hold when he starts to scramble out of the pocket looking to use his two feet to literally create something out of nothing. I wonder though if two years will have slowed him down? I wonder what the GM and owner who welcome him to their organization will say, I wonder how the NFL will deal with the PETA protesters standing outside their league offices, I wonder if fans will still cheer him knowing Fido, Lucky and Spot are at home waiting for their master to return.

One thing I don't wonder about is how Vick can answer all these questions. After all, he can simply look to Lewis, Bryant, Rodriquez or any other star athlete who has found himself on the opposite side of the law for the answer.

The answer is WIN. Be a winner, perform in the clutch, be that city's hero and all will be forgotten.

Vick no doubt understands this...but will it happen?

Bombs From A-Rod

Being one of the highest profile Athletes ever....you would think HE could pull perfect ten model tail, stay away from a 50 year old
 madonna, and date some pretty no name face with a body that doesn't quit, hell you would think he could 
date 2-3 of girls like that all at once, maybe even more of them.

Now he is seen on a date and apparently kissing Kate Hudson, not that there is anything wrong with Kate, but lets take a look at Derek Jeter's resume with chic's, and then we are going to compare it to A-Rods

A-ROD:

C-rod wasn't great, take a page from Jorge and get a hot non famous wife

Madona - 50 years old Nuff Said

Kate Hudson, not bad, she is pretty, however My expectations are higher than this for A-Rod

rumored to have been with High Class call girls

JETER:

Mariah Carey (in prime, pre Nick Cannon)

Jordana Brewster

Minkha Kelly

Gabrielle Union

Jessica Biel

Scarlet Johanson

Vanesa Minnillo

Jessica Alba

Adriana Lima

Cassia Riley

Lara Dutta (former Miss Universe)

Tyra Banks (once again in prime)

Vida Guera

Anna Kournikova

Countless amounts of no name models and cleat chasers

Numerous Pink Jeter Jersey wearing "fans"

and those are just the ones we know about...

I say the resume speaks for itself, I mean I am just asking for a little more effort out of A-Rod i know he has it in him....

I have to tip my hat to Jeter, truly impressive 

I would like to thank all the fans of the blog that helped make this possible, bill in FL

Blackboard

You know what really Tics my Tac, people who do more than they are supposed to only to suck up. I'm not saying I'm a slacker or that I don't do enough, but when a task is given why the hell are you trying to out do me son!

This isn't some RUDY complex I have, where I'm the guy with the father who was an All-American and he won't pay my tuition if I didn't attend ND, but come on!

So now I know what your all thinking, what the hell are you talking about boss man! Well I guess its time to delve into the personal life. Currently I'm a graduate student at a profound Univ. so I've dotted my i's and crossed my t's quite efficiently. We at the "I" use a system called blackboard for all of our "e-learning", now professors create discussions and assignments and we as students have to answer back and feed off each other.

With that said, me being me, and if you've read my stuff before, doctors say I have a little bit of an anger problem. I find my self in constant confrontations with my "e-classmates". Right there is a piece of the problem, what the fuck is an "e-classmate", I really hate this teacher.....anyways people tend to call me out in "posts" all the time, and I've had it! But that's not the issue today.

The issue today is people writing posts just for the sake of writing posts, like there's a goddamn quota. I have this "e-classmate" ( I swear to god if I use that term again, I'm going to have to kick my own ass) who writes a fucking essay for every little post, and when gets to mine he fucking puts me down with arrogance! The long bullshit posts with crazy words like he sits at his computer with a thesaurus on his lap, I really should hunt this mofo down! I don't get like this in my regular classes, I can't believe I'm so fired up about this!

Thanks for listening!

Jay's Thought of the Day: Tattoos?

So i am sitting in work today and feeling like there will never be a day where i can have expendable income where i could just go buy a Large TV, a new car or even a hooker. So the thought came to me. I have been pretty reserved my whole life, no drinking since 12 (MC) no getting into fights at school (MI) and no getting large tattoos on my thigh (BD) so maybe its time to do something about it. Since i will never have enough balls to get something pierced nor would i ever that's out. i already drink way too much legally so there's nothing crazy there so that's out. i am too big of a wuss too fight nor do i see a reason so that's out, so why don't i get a tattoo! Now you may be asking yourself, Jay how are you going to make money to buy Bridget the Midget for a night?

I am glad you asked! I will have people bet with me in sports. The minimum bet will be $1,000 dollars and if i win i get the money and they win they get 20 characters to have tattooed on my body. For those guys who always wanted to get their girls names tattooed on their arm, well now they can put it on mine and just in case they don't last he didn't ruin his own body. I think this is one of my best ideas yet!!! Let me know what you think, post your comments!!!

What the Eff is twitter?

I am not really sure what it is or why it is, but i heard Ashton Kucher put a picture of Demi Moore ironing his shirt in her underwear on it, then i starting inquiring about it and found out just how dumb it is, apparently its like facebook, except with only photos and status updates. you can also subscribe to someone to stalk their life worse than facebook allows.

I don't really agree with this and quite frankly it scares the ever loving shit out of me, although i am not sure what that saying means, it actually freaks me out. I hear also that people like it because they can sig n up to follow a celebrities twitter blog or whatever, Get over it, Ashton Kuchar and Jessica Simpson are not that cool. Unless Britney is putting up pictures of her cooter i'm not in, wake me up when Hayden Paniterrie has naked photo's on twitter, until then i'll stick to following my own boring life of actually going to work everyday and taking care of my own responsibilities and not living in a fake ass celebrity dream world

Good day......I said good day.....

The Rockets Red Glare and the Luck of the Irish!

Before we jump forward to what appears to be a fantastic Final Four NBA style, let's give a collective thank you to both the Houston Rockets and the Boston Celtics. Now I know there's no such thing as a moral victory or a good loss, but you have to hand it to these squads for their grit, toughness and determination when seemingly everything was stacked against them. With both teams decimated by injuries to key contributors, role players and steady vets picked up the slack...we watched Big Baby go from baby formula to brewskies, Aaron Brooks prove that the Quack Attack isn't reserved for hockey, Rajon Rondo gave us flashbacks of Hondo and we may have even developed a soft spot for Ron Artest.

We watch heart take a human form in the playoffs and no two teams did a better job of this than the defending champs and the Tussling Texans.

I'm reminded of the infamous words of former Houston Rockets' coach Rudy Tomjanovich who proclaimed to "never underestimate the heart of a champion," after his team captured the second of their back-to-back titles in the mid 90's.

A Look Forward

I love both conference final match-ups...I think Dwight Howard's presence will derail some of King James' flight arrangements and the Magic's proficiency from beyond the arc will force the Cavs to really spread the floor defensively. The James Gang will prevail, but get used to this match-up...this will be a re-occurring theme for years to come.

I am unabashedly head over heels for the match-up out on the Left Coast...if Kobe and Krew think they had problems with a physical Rockets club...wait till Kenyon, Nene and the rest of Tats 'R Us ink down at Staples. For Denver to strike gold they will to turn this series into a school-yard soiree. Expect elbows, hip checks, ejections, suspensions and some blood before this one is concluded. My prediction of the Magic triumphing over my beloved Celts at the (other) Garden last night has perhaps caused me disillusionment, but I'm going to go with my gut...Nuggets over La La Land in 7!

Remember all those Magic-Bird comparisons when LeBron and Melo first came into the Association. Well it may not have come to fruition as early as we thought, but as they say...good things come to those who wait!

Message to Mark Cuban

I love your passion for the game dude, but you're turning that enthusiasm into a joke. Cut the bullshit and keep to your beloved blog!
