THE BCS NEWSCASTERS POLLS

Back From Eating...

I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed Black Friday...As for me, I purchased my annual pair of shoes on Black Friday.

Starting this week and going on until it dies down, I am starting a segment on the show called, "Raheel's Houston Talent Search." I am going to bring on contestants and let them talk about their talent and all that good stuff. I am going to put up a poll on the blog and The Game's website. Here is the segment from our first contestant comedian Ted Purnhagen.

YouTube Pick o' the Day

If you have not watched the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia then you need to catch up and get on the bandwagon. Season 3 just ended so it is the perfect time to catchup. I am convinced that this is the funniest show that I have ever watched in my life. Here is a funny clip from the show about a song the gang writes called Night Man and then stay tuned for Day Man.

Night man and Day Man combined

Thanksgiving with the Texans

We are big fans of Jacoby Jones and David Anderson on this blog and at the 1560 The Game so its only right we get their thoughts on Thanksgiving.

As I do every Wednesday on the Sean and John show, I did the Jacoby Jones Catchup today and found out what Thanksgiving means to Jacoby. Also, I now have started a daily catchup segment with David Anderson. Listen to the intro song and his rendition of the first Thanksgiving Day is AMAZING!

Terrific Tuesday Weekend Wrap-up

It was a big weekend in the world of sports and in the world of 1560 The Game. So let's get to the big recap.

• Tag Team Champs No More...well if you haven't heard yet, Brutality Incorporated lost the belts to Nate Slater and Rocco. Ken could not fight so I stepped in the ring and took on the challenge but I failed. After getting a double elbow, a stinger splash and a big leg drop, I was pinned by my arch nemesis Nate Slater. Although, we lost the match, we have some controversy brewing because I was not a tag team title holder, I am just the manager. That means Nate did not pin a belt holder thus making Brutality Incorporated still the TASW Tag Team Title Holders. Here is the post game interview with Nate Slater.

• The Longhorns still have a chance...Well, don't look now but the hated Longhorns have a chance to win the Big 12 South if the Sooners fall to Oklahoma State and if they beat the Aggies. How great would it be if the Horns pull out the South after a year in which felt like the team just did not have it. You can point to one guy for the resurgence of this team, Jamaal Charles. What he did against Nebraska and Okie State saved them from a horrible season. Now Jamaal needs to have one more big game.
  

• One Funny Clip...Every now and then I will post One Funny Clip...this is going to be something on youtube that will make you laugh. Let me set-up this week's clip. Everybody loves to watch To Catch a Predator. I don't know what it is, whether seeing a sick guy being brought to justice or just how they react, but we like it! Well, this following clip is a brilliant parody of the whole show. Watch it and post your favorite line from the video.
  

Freaking Friday Fun Wrap-up

Freaking Friday Fun! Alright I've posted a lot of long stories so today will be some quick hitters and just pure fun so you can catchup with your reading with the posts below.

TASW Wrestling
As mentioned in my Monday post, Brutality Incorporated is going back to the Historic Humble Bingo Arena to defend out TASW Tag Team Titles that we won a month ago. We will be fighting in the "Night of Champions" at 8 p.m. up against Nate Slater and Rocco Carmanooch. Although I do not hold a tag title and just manage the team, there is a good chance that I will be one of the wrestlers. Rumor has it that Ken Hoffman's leg might not be ready to go tomorrow night...come out for some entertaining wrestling tomorrow night at 8 p.m. You can get more information at TASW. Oh, and the Sheik will be out there. Here are some interviews with Nate Slater and Scoby "Wildcat" Gober to pump you up for the match.

Juego Palooza Video....

Last friday was awesome but this video speaks for itself...Thank you Mr. Unknown man, aka look at my blog roll his name starts with a C, who put this together for us.

* at around :40 seconds you can see Ken Hoffman doing Crank That Superman.

Kobe Bryant...Meet Raheel Ramzanali

I have professed my man love for Kobe Bryant many times. I think he is the best player in the NBA and the best that I've ever seen in terms of how one guy improved his game year-by-year. Kobe has a killer work ethic and likes to be a killer on the basketball court. He plays hard aggressive defense and at the same time wants to take your heart out by hitting big shots. He is a beast on the court.

Now, am I a fan of everything he does off the court? No. But, he is still my sports role model because when I play basketball I try to model my game after his. Look, if I can give you one piece of advice, always make an athlete your role model for his on the court effort and never what he does off the court. We as fans have NO idea about how the athletes are off the court. If you are looking at making an athlete your role model then you need to look some where else because a lot of athletes are flawed.

Well, on Wednesday night, I had a chance to meet Kobe Bryant through work. I go to most of the Rockets' games since I have to gather sound for 1560 The Game's various shows. So yesterday, as part of my job, I talked to Kobe Bryant after the game. I am man enough to say that I was in awe when I was interviewing him (okay, so it wasnt a 1-on-1 but it was still cool even if I had 8 other guys around me)...

The first time I saw Kobe that night was before the game when I went into the Lakers locker room for pre-game sound and a chance to get an interview with Kobe. (Although I did not get a 1-on-1 with Kobe, I did get one with Chris Mihm on Texas Basketball...I will post that soon) Kobe was in the training room getting his ankles taped up so he was not speaking to the media. But, as I was walking out I looked into the training room and made eye contact with Mamba. For that moment, Kobe and I were the only ones locking eyes in the world. He knew I was a fan. Sorry, that was very Broke Back. It was awesome!

After the game I finally did interview Kobe and found out some shocking news, Kobe Bryant is my brother. After I finally asked him a question, he responded by calling me "Bro". I had no idea that I was Kobe's brother! It was AWESOME! He did not call anybody else "BRO" that night! Here is a little clip of the interview with a family song mixed in.


powered by ODEO

All in all, it was a good night. I got to watch Kobe live for the first time and I had a chance to meet him. To preserve this night, I mixed up all the answers he gave to various questions from the post game interview and put it up for you the reader. Here are some highlights...Some reporter asked if he is proud of his new found defensive energy. Kobe responded with, look I've been doing this for a while, look at my seven all-NBA defensive team awards. CLASSIC! He also called himself Kobe Mutombo and said T-mac hurt his elbow on purpose so he can get out of baby duties! Enjoy!

The Brian Ching Song

After watching the Dynamo kick some ass last Saturday, Ken Hoffman gave me a project. That project was to write a parody song to honor our friend and Brutality Incorporated member Brian Ching. We've had a lot of fun with the All-Star Soccer player and we think the guy is awesome so its only fair that he has a song. We wrote the song based on Johnny Cash's song Ring of Fire. Although some might say my parody song sucks, I think its some of the best work to ever be aired. Here are some other things people are saying about "Brian Ching is on Fire"

"A powerful song that has a lot of meaning and captures the man that is Brian Ching..."
-Raheel Ramzanali

"Some of the best work to ever be aired on 1560 The Game..."
-Raheel Ramzanali

"Wow, what a great song. Everybody should put this on their I-pods..."
-Raheel Ramzanali

The "Dub-C-C" State of the Union

For those of you who do not listen to the Sean and John show here is what the "Dub-C-C" is: It's a club created by Texans wide receiver David Anderson for all the 5'10 and under White Wide Receivers. Here is the hard hitting story that I did about the small group of receivers that are trying to keep the rich history of White Wide Receivers alive.

*Drum Roll* Now the following is the mid-season State of the Union for the WCC in regards of who holds what position and what criteria a person needs to be part of the club. David also makes a shocking announcement about his status in the club. This is a must hear so enjoy it!


powered by ODEO

Now you are probably wondering, why was David singing in the end? Well, he made a cameo on the Daily Catchup with Jacoby Jones on Wednesday....here is the awesome duet.

Now that you know what the "Dub-C-C" is, here is one of the earlier State of the Unions that David Anderson made a few weeks later after we learned about the club.

A Recap (and preview) of the week

Another Monday, another blog entry. Last week was a busy week with Juego Palooza, the launching of ringtones and of course the shows so I did not get a chance to post some small stories. So today, I will post a few stories from last week and also talk about the upcoming week. As Triple H would say, It's time to make the donuts.

• This is not official but Houston Dynamo games could be the best live sporting event in Houston. Better than the Texans, better than the Rockets and yes, even better than catching a game Minute Maid Park. I went to the big Western Conference Final match between Houston and Kansas City (Houston won 2-0). This was my first Dynamo game so I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away by how passionate the fans are and how much they love this team. Our tickets were next to the Dynamo band (watch video below) and they played their drums for almost three hours straight. In other news, I was going to bring my stadium horn in but it was confiscated at the front door by some rent a cop. You could imagine my disappointment when I get to my seats and see how 12 guys snuck in drum sets! Soccer itself is a boring game to watch, its the fanfare that makes it the most popular game in the World. The highlight for me was when fans were tossing streamers at players and referees. Watching streamers hit referees could be the funniest thing in sports. I think other sports should adopt this tradition. Could you imagine a fan hitting Joey Crawford after a bad call?! Our boy, Brian Ching was injured in the game and might not be able to play in the Championship game this Saturday. Brian will be on the Hoffman show Tuesday at 1 p.m. Here are some videos from the stands as brought to you by my T-mobile Dash...I know the quality sucks but just try to enjoy it.

• Dikembe Mutombo could be the funniest guy in the NBA. On Tuesday night, I went to the Rockets vs. Spurs game to watch the Rockets in action but also to speak with Dikembe for the John and Lance Show. Here was my assignment. I had to get Dikembe to say, "Hey this is Dikembe Mutombo from the Houston Rockets and you are listening to 1560 The game with John and Lance." Here is what he said...

• Juego Palooza 2007! Talk about a party! On Friday night, 1560 The Game threw the first ever listener appreciation party at Nick's Place called Juego Palooza! The party started 2pm with the Sean and John and ended at some random time in the morning. The party was awesome for me because I had a chance to meet a lot of listeners who e-mail the Hoffman show and Sean and John. I also received a lot of feedback about the work we are doing and it was all good! It felt really good to know that people are listening and are interested in our station. The highlight of my night was doing Crank that Soulja Boy with Ken Hoffman...The video of us doing it will be up soon...in the meantime here is a picture of us cranking it. Also, I want to thank everyone who I talked to on Friday night for the kind words and that we are ALL doing this for you.

Things to Come:

• Brutality Incorporated is BACK! The Tag Team Champions are taking on Nate Slater and Rocco Carmanooch to defend the belts. We will be at the Historic Humble Bingo Arena (TASW Arena) on Saturday night at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available on their website so buy them early and come out for some entertainment. Check out this, they are putting me on their website in the news section, picture and all, just scroll down. Rumor has it that this time around, I will come in as a manager but end up fighting for the team. If you are lost about what this wrestling stuff is, here is the post about it.

• Rockets vs. Lakers Wednesday night at the Toyota Center...There is no hiding the fact that I like Kobe Bryant. I think he is the best player and I enjoy watching him. He has a killer work ethic and plays with an edge that can only be compared to the great one (who by the way is going to set a record for a settlement in a divorce.)...I get excited about all sporting events but I have been looking forward to this game since the schedule came out. This will be my first time to see Kobe in person and I will be getting there really early to watch him warm-up because I've heard his warm-up is very intense. I will post pictures from the game on Thursday.
  

Chris Jericho Breaking Down the Walls!

I don't hide the fact that I like wrestling. In fact, I am a pro-wrestler. So today when we had Chris Jericho on our show I felt like a kid in a candy store. My favorite wrestlers of all time, in no particular order, are the Rock, Triple H and Jericho. This was like talking to Kobe Bryant or pick your active hall of famer in any sport. Jericho is a really bright guy so the interview is awesome. But the best part of the interview was when Ken decided to profess his man love to Jericho. I have posted that under the real interview. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Chance McClain!

Today is a special day because it is Chance McClain's bday! Chance is the guy who gave me a shot three years ago as an intern at a radio station he was working at. He also is my mentor and taught me a lot about radio. It is only right that I pay him tribute today for his birthday!

In addition to being a badass, Chance is also part of Apollo XVIII, one of the best bands ever! He is also responsible for The Eyes of Texas remix and the Yao Ming song!

Chance can make a song about anyone, thing or concept! Check out his music with Apollo XVIII

In honor of Chance's bday, I am posting a youtube video of my fav. Apollo song. Enjoy!

Brian Ching goes at it again!

Well, another week and another day with Brian Ching to take on a 5th grader in a trivia contest! Before you listen to it, I have to let you know that Brian Ching is one of nicest athletes in Houston. He goes along with everything and never is a bad sport. He also is a damn good soccer player! He singly handily defeated those losers from FC Dallas by scoring two goals and getting an assist! The Dynamo take on Kansas City this Saturday night at Robertson stadium for a chance to play in the Championship game! Two in a row baby!

1560 The Game Ringtones

We have now setup 1560 The Game Ringtones for you the listener! I came across the idea after a listener started singing the Jacoby Jones catchup at Cougar Palooza when Jacoby Jones touched the ball on a punt return. So I setup a system for free ringtones and now you can own some classics from 1560 the Game.

Paula DeAnda???

So a few weeks back I was at Texans practice and each week we are introduced the artist who will be singing the National Anthem at the game. Well, that week it was some teenager named Paula DeAnda. I thought nothing of it and to be polite invited Paula to come on the Ken Hoffman show to talk about her performance. So I go about my day and when it came time to do show prep for the next day's show, I googled Paula.

Turns out that Paula DeAnda is pretty popular with the teenage crowd! I went home and got more information about this Paula chick from my younger sister. Soon as I told her that I will be interviewing Paula, she went all teeny bopper on me and was running around the house in excitement. I told her its just Paula DeAnda and she told me that Paula had a no.1 song on TRL. That's pretty big. The next day we interviewed Paula and she came off as a really nice person. I pride myself on being up to date with whats hot and whats not. This was the first time that I felt like I was out of the loop because I had never heard of this artist. God bless younger sisters who can update you on whats hot and whats not.

Here is the interview and a picture from the interview.
