NFL Draft Remix by DJ Steve Porter

I've been listening to an awesome draft remix by DJ Steve Porter, which you can find here:

On of my favorite parts is 0:43 part, where everyone is chanting  J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS, and then when repeated, the JETS chorus is replaced by a bullhorn timed to sound just like JETS.  It adds a nice feeling of chaos to the chant, similar to the Matrix theme song.

Amazing Bears Trick Play

I watched an amazing trick punt return by the Bears, where Devin Hester ran left to return a punt, when actually the ball was kicked to his right, and another Bears player was running back and caught it over his shoulder, then started returning it for the touchdown.  It worked brilliantly.  I also saw that Hester (the Decoy) ran left towards his own sideline, and the punt was towards the Packers sideline.  This was because if Devin Hester was faking towards the Packers side, the players on the Packers sideline would clearly see what was happening and yell to their teammates on the field.  Instead, all the Packers players were fifty yards away from their teammates on the other side of the field.

Amazing.

Chris Bosh is already over the NBA finals...and thats a bad thing

Chris Bosh said in a recent interview that he was over the NBA Finals loss and was ready to move on.  That is the response of an emotionally mature person with a large world view and a good perspective.  After all, its just sports and his self-actualization as a player.

But its bad news for the Miami Heat.  It means they'll be getting the same Chris Bosh they had last year, except a year older and a year closer to retirement.  He won't have been lifting all summer, upset over the way things ended like a Michael Jordan or Larry Bird type would have been.  He hasn't been pushed all summer by the humiliating defeat he experienced.

After all, it is emotion which separates people out.  I get the feel that if Chris Bosh were 6'2" instead of 6'10", he wouldn't even be in the NBA.  A guy like Kevin Garnett or Chris Paul would be in the NBA no matter what height they are.
