We took a little time off to decompress and clear the mind a little bit. We are back and we are looking for, thinking about and ready again to discuss our favorite topic: BadaSSitude.
The past few weeks have been great for observers and connoisseurs of badassitude. The NCAA for one, whittled down to the final 2. We watched some of our favorite teams punk out – Georgetown, Kansas, Syracuse, Kentucky and on and on. They disappointed and went down – fast. Except for a couple, the top seeds went down like flies. On a side note, I am beginning to think that you could give John Calipari the Dream Team and he would find a way not to win the championship. Duke though were steadfastly badass. And to be fair, so was WVU. Butler was just badass period. In a knockout tournament, your badassitude has to come to the forefront. This is why we love the NCAAs. It is like badassitude central!
For those who never want to let go of football, we watched some interesting off season things happen the NLF changed the overtime rules for some reason. In my mind it should either be sudden death which is what it was, or a full overtime period a la basketball. Those are the only formats that judge badassitude. Anything in between is very simply a bunch of crap. Speaking of football, the big news of the offseason was the trade of D Mac from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Washington Redskins. Those of you who have followed us for a little bit know that we were partial to the Eagles and McNabb. In fact so much so that we don’t want to say anything about this trade except the following: Donovan McNabb has always been a badass and will always be a badass. Enough said.
Also, while we were away, Bernard Hopkins kicked Roy Jones’s ass. Now granted, Roy is no longer the badass he once was but an ass whipping is an ass whipping especially when it is done by a bona fide badass which Bernard still is. Speaking of badassitude, there may be some emerging from England by the name of Hayes who just kicked John Ruiz’s ass soundly. The Pac man made it look easy against Clottey although Clottey might have done better had he decided to throw a few more punches.
And while we were on break, Barack Obama broke out some serious political badassitude and got his healthcare reform package passed. And many had doubted his badassitude. And just yesterday, Apple a company with an incredible amount of badassitude, released the iPad to resounding acclaim everywhere.
Maybe we shouldn’t have taken a break….
