The Beat Squad Defense...
Here's the lineup:
LB - Lawrence Taylor: The following accolades can be attributed to the man who revolutionized the Linebacker position... (tribute clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvHZqrNp_QU )
- The Giants defense in 1980, pre LT, was the second worst in the league giving up 425 points over the course of the season. After LT joined the Giants defense they were third best in the league, giving up 257 points. Yes, Bill Parcells was also seen for the first time as the defensive coordinator, but LT was a big part of that defense turning around.
- Everyone who's reading this knows what a sack is in football, not many know when it was created. The answer is 1982, after LT came into the league. They created it because LT rushing the QB in the manner that he did was something the league hadn't needed to keep track of until they saw how much of a game changing play it was. The freaking sack was created because of this guy...that's the hardest thing any football player can say.
- He had 20.5 sacks from the linebacker position...that is unheard of...
- He was the NFL MVP in 1986. In case you were wondering, the AP has given a defensive player the MVP three times in 50 years.
Obviously it would be fun to go out with this dude, I mean did you see him in Any Given Sunday? He cut an f'ing car in half with a god damn chain saw, who would not enjoy seeing that? ( I've searched all over, but can't find a picture...sorry) Given LT's flair for addiction and just general badassness, I could see something absolutely insane happening out of hanging out with him. Plus, if anything rowdy happens, you can count on him re-enacting Joe Theisman's leg injury on any gibrone's...(don't watch this if you have a weak stomach)

Musical Interlude
Let me know what you all think.
Asian My New Haircut
What I didn't know is that there is an Asian version. I know, I know, the first thing I think of when i see an Asian version of anything is "god this is gonna be gay." Trust me just watch the thing you f'in geisha.
Ok, it wasn't awesome...but it's the first god damn time I have not been completely disappointed in an Asian version of anything, so I thought it needed to be publicized.
It's been awhile...
Needless to say, now that I'm off for the rest of the year, I'll be posting up some good shit to keep whoever the hell is reading this interested...
First two videos that need to be watched:

The Beat Squad Offense
Pretty fuckin' awesome if you ask me. So I got to thinking, if you somehow got into a brawl on the streets of Philadelphia; say against Pacman Jones' crew, who from the NFL would you want to have your back. Then I thought...all NFL players would kick ass in a fight, which ones would supply you with an unbelievable story basically every night you went out with them? Here's my offensive drinking Juggernaut:
QB: Ryan Leaf - Alright, in my defense think about every QB you can think of over the past 20 years. Who is more unstable than Ryan Leaf? This dude is up to the brim with potential for the best night you've ever had. I could see any of the following happening on a night out with Ryan: Tries to hit on a girl...gets shut down...and begins to cry at the bar, sees a reporter and busts into a 40 yd. dash and tackles him/her out of consciousness, passes out at the bar because he realizes he is a failure at life and the whole posse proceeds to draw on him with a sharpie. Yeah, Ryan Leaf it is...
RB: Emmitt Smith - This guy can't speak the English language when he is sober (assuming he is sober when he is on air), imagine the crazy stuff he would say when he is wasted. Either he is "slow" or he did a lot of drugs in Gainesville. Here's some examples of how special Emmitt smith is:
http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?&brand=null&videoId=2973309&n8pe6c=2
FB: Jim Brown - Yeah, check it out on the NFL Hall of Fame...he is a fullback and he is supposedly from the modern era. I've had a deep desire to find out why Jim Brown is so hard, I'm hoping that alcohol can unleash the fury...upon someone in an authentic Brady Quinn jersey. Seriously tell me you don't want to hang out with this guy...I mean, where did all of these hats come from?
TE: Mike Ditka - OK, Ditka played in the 70's that's modern right? Anyways, who wouldn't want to go out drinking with a guy who A) you could chant Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears Da Bears to & B) forced you to smoke stogies in a non-smoking bar. My god look at those blue blockers...
plus he's a man's man...
Lineman: (I'm only going with two because only two have any value)
T: Kyle Turley - Only other player in the NFL that I think is as loose a cannon as Ryan Leaf. On the other hand, there is no way this guy could ever black out from insecurity the way Leaf would; he is a one man ass-kickin machine. Any guy who A) has worse tattoos than Shockey's Eagle and B) would throw an NFL lineman's helmet 40 yards during a football game is ok in my book.
G: Nate Newton - This 327 pound monster blocked the likes of Lawrence Taylor and other coke heads in the NFL throughout the 90's. He also spent the better part of two years in prison for being arrested two times in six weeks with mass quantities of drugs; once with 213 lb. of marijuana and another time with 175. He will definitely beat the crap out of anyone who has beef, and afterwards the beat squad can all go back to his place and have a good time.
WR: Michael Irvin - Four reasons...A) There is no way Irvin rolls with less than 6 girls, to any establishment
B) This dude dresses like the biggest asshole of all time...

man, look at that velvet...
C) every time we finish a shot he will encourage us do this...
D) his collection of fur coats
WR: Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch - OK, Elroy isn't modern, but he's awesome. In a real sense, this guy apparently revolutionized the football game at wide receiver and I would like to hang out with him. He amassed 1500 yards and 17 TD's in '51 (10 were over 50 yds long), he invented the long threat, he gave Carson Palmer and every other throw deep QB a job, he's a baller. If you really want to know why I would want to drink with him...I'm hoping he can top this performance...
Ok, I need to work tomorrow, I'll put the all-time awesome drinking partners defense up soon...
