After this, Purple Jesus turned the other cheek to Oshiomogho. That didn’t stop Him either. When the game ended, He (yes capital H) chose to walk on the Mississippi River back to Minnesota rather than take the team flight.

Episode #13: Guest Starring Will Leitch + Onyx

gentlemensclubpodcast:

Gentlemen,

This week we welcome New York Magazine Contributing Editor and Deadspin’s Founding Editor Will Leitch into The Gentlemen’s Club. The man who introduced us to Chris Berman’s ability to pickup leather pant-clad females and the all-seeing eye of Carl Monday took some time talk about his new sports blog, emails from Rick Ankiel’s wife, negative comments from members of A Tribe Called Quest and of course Erin Andrews and the infamous peep hole video.

Be sure to follow Leitch on Twitter and Tumblr.

We’re also excited to bring Onyx, who will be performing at VH-1 Hip-Hop Honors tomorrow night, to The Gentlemen’s Club. The Mad Face Invasion took a break from making a million children SLAM to talk to us about their new album, Black Rock (and the controversy over that name), getting in the octagon fighting MMA like DMX (yes you read that correctly), and what would happen if they got interrupted by Kanye.

Thanks Kanye for letting me finish because we’ve got more. This week, we’ve also got a Gentlemen’s Theory from Bacon about karate.

We’re also going to introduce to a concept we like to call the Oh-Line, it’s got to do with your boy who thinks Sandra Oh’s beautiful just because she’s Asian. Don’t worry we’ve got your other boy who thinks Brooke Hogan’s hot just because she’s blonde covered; and your other boy who’s into Latin flavor who loves Michelle Rodriguez.

You need some new friends and you need to listen to this week’s show.

adidas is Looking for an Ass Product Manager

adidas is Looking for an Ass Product Manager:

Before I apply, I’d like to know what are some of the ass products adidas offers. Three Striped Medicated Hemorrhoid Pads? Or does it simply apply to anything Tracy McGrady wears?

I know, I know. I left the word “Tennis” out of the headline. Sorry for taking some liberties. Couldn’t think of any “Tennis Ass” jokes. Well, come to think of it, I could have just gone with this or this or even this. Maybe I should have just gone with Tennis Ass Product Manager.

Episode #10: Guest Starring Anna David

gentlemensclubpodcast:

Gentlemen,

You know Anna David from G4’s Attack of the Show f/ Olivia Munn. Anna is their Sex and Relationship Expert. You also might know her writing from Details mag — or somewhere else cool. She’s all over, she’s sexy, and suggests Hammer might stop hanging around the UCLA freshman dorms.

Author (and Cardinals Fan?) Matthew DeKinder serves up this week’s (Just The…) Gentlemen’s Tip on how to avoid sports for a frickin’ year. Apparently something that silly is do-able.

Tim Hammer has this week’s Gentlemen’s Theory which explores the female anatomy, and looks at The Profane Areola. The topic is SFW.

The Gentlemen’s Rule returns. It’s on how to end a phone call with confidence… the opposite of what you’re now doing.

And the Gentlemen of the Week is a long-time subscriber to Big ‘Uns Magazine:

Al “Touchdown” Bundy.

“West was within his rights to carry the shotgun.”

- Best line in Washington Post’s story regarding Delonte West’s arrest.

"I would go on Glenn Beck for the story of it. He's a clown. He's not a reporter he's just kind of a loud mouth fearmonger. He's silly. Reasonable people don't take him seriously but there's lots of unreasonable people in America that deserve to be entertained as well."

gentlemensclubpodcast:

Gentlemen,

This week we’re honored to welcome one of our favorite comedians, Greg Fitzsimmons to The Gentlemen’s Club. Greg, who just recently launched Greg Fitzsimmons’ Next Top Podcast and can also be heard on Sirius’ Howard 101, took some to talk to us about getting beat up by a member of the Israeli Army in a club ironically called Stitches, getting baked and watching online videos with Joe Rogan and his love for Asian women.

Be sure to follow Greg on Twitter, the Huffington Post calls him one of the 50 Funny People You Should be Following.

Celebrities Brooke Burke (right), Alison Sweeney, Brody Jenner, Jason Patric and future Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk answer the Gentlemen’s Question: When’s a guy too old to wear a jersey? What’s your answer? All you have to do is say a number, unfortunately only one of our celebs gave us a real answer, sadly he’s not a real celeb.

We also compiled our Top 4 Most Racist Kids Movies. Caleb gives us the Gentlemen’s Theory which Creed fans will embrace with Arms Wide Open, the rest of us — not so much.

Take off your Mark Chmura jersey, stop watching Flash Gordon and checking StubHub for Creed Reunion Tour tickets and listen to this week’s episode.

Thinking Back to the One Time I saw Michael Jordan Play in Person

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:44:31 -0700

With Michael Jordan being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame today, I thought I’d share a MJ story with you all.

I am lucky enough to say I saw Micheal Jordan play in person. Unfortunately, most of the memories I have of that game have little to do with Jordan.

The date was November 7, 2001.

My roommate Jeff’s brother Dan had an extra ticket for the Celtics/Wizards game at what was then called the Fleet Center and offered it to me. Without hesitation, I said yes because after all this was a chance to see Michael Jordan play in person. Granted it was a 38 year-old Michael Jordan, but I didn’t have the chance to see MJ in person the first time around, when he was absolutely the greatest basketball player alive.

I was in my fourth year at Northeastern, which would be called “Senior Year” at most other colleges and universities in the world but at Northeastern this was called “Junior Year.” It’s a five-year school because of the very famous co-op program, which involves students spending half of the school year working an internship in their selected field.

Since I was an English major… I worked at a shoe store, well not just any shoe store it was Niketown. So I told people I was doing an internship with Nike.

Earlier that day while taking my lunch break from my “internship with Nike” I was eating in the Prudential Center food court (my love of food courts goes way back) and ended up leaving my wallet on the table.

Fortunately, the wallet wasn’t holding my ticket to the game (Dan had it). But it was holding pretty much everything else I’d need to live including cash. I went back to the Prudential Center to look for it but it was gone.

Thankfully, Jeff spotted me a buck for the T ride on the green line from our Mission Hill apartment to the Fleet Center. (How much does a ride on the T cost today?) We took our seats in the very top of the 300 level of what is now the TD Garden or something like that. Not sure which row we were in, but let’s just say there weren’t too many people sitting behind us. Our view wasn’t great but we were in the same building as Mike.

We also were in the same building as: Richard Hamilton, Chris Whitney, Tyrone Nesby and Christian Laettner. Those were the other four guys in the Wizards’ starting lineup. I didn’t remember that off the top of my head, that’s what Basketball-Reference.com is for.

I did vividly recall Laettner’s involvement in the game though and not because he scored 29 points. Seriously Laettner scored 29 points in a game that wasn’t held at Cameron Indoor Stadium? I remember the former Dukie’s participation game because one of the young ladies sitting in front of us spent most of her night yelling, “I FUCKING HATE CHRISTIAN LAETTNER!” You’ve got to love the classy ladies of Boston.

As far as the game itself goes, I only remembered two things: 1) Wizards lost and 2) Jordan got rejected by Paul Pierce at a critical moment in the game.

I completely forgot that Jordan scored 32 points and that Antoine Walker scored 31. Thanks Basketball-Reference.com. If you would have asked me how many points the 38 year-old Jordan dropped in that game I might have said 10 or 12 points.

My memory of that night go beyond the court, the same way Mike’s legacy went well beyond the court.
