During my awkward high school years I tried out new things but they were always in phases. For example, alternative music. I went through a phase where I only listened to Papa Roach and bands of that nature. I felt like I was part of something...until I got tired of it. I still put on some alternative music once in a while but not a die-hard.
One high school phase I did not grow out of is watching Jackass. My friends and I would like re-create certain Jackass stunts on tape. One day I will get around to putting those stunts on YouTube. One of our most famous "skits" were when I stuffed my best friend Abid into a trunk and broke his big toe. He still has the scar from that night.
The reason I'm posting is because I'm sitting here on my Monday off watching some re-runs of Jackass on MTV2. I think Jackass is one of the funniest shows to ever hit TV and one of the funniest movies that I've ever watched. I enjoy watching guys in painful situations. I also enjoy watching Kobe Bryant. So it's only natural that my two loves surfaced in a pretty cool clip.
Since we are on the subject...
Even the famous love Jackass
Brad Pitt wanted more..
For the record, I also love Wild Boyz.

Time to Watch Some Serious Basketball...and NHL?!
The Final Four is finally here...well NBA style. Now the NBA Finals is the best series to be in because of what it holds but the best time to watch basketball is right now during the Conference Finals.
Spurs and the Lakers...oh my!
With the San Antonio showing why they are the defending champions against the dominating Hornets team, we now have a dream match-up of LA and SA. The last time the two teams played we were given the shot. The Lakers (with Malone, Kobe , Shaq and the Glove) went on to beat the Spurs but they lost to the Pistons. This is going to be a chance for the Lakers, who are favored by Vegas to represent the Western Conference, to go through the ultimate road block, the defending champions. This is going to be a series to remember and one that will really capture how great this NBA season really was. Lakers win this series in 6...yes on the road.
Celtics must win a road game
In the East every NBA fan got the match-up they wanted, Detroit vs. Boston. Now going into the playoffs I said the Pistons were overrated and that they have no shot in beating the Celtics. Well this thought has changed because of the Celtics lack of road basketball. I think this series will come down to the wire in most of the games and the Celtics will win one game in Boston. After going 0-6 on the road for the playoffs, the Celtics will finally win a road game in Detroit. In my opinion the Celtics are the more talented team and they will end up winning the series in 7. Look for Ray Allen to have a better series than he did against the LeBrons. Boston 4, Detroit 3.
Sid the Kid
I'm not a hockey guy by any means but I know a good thing when I see it. Sidney Crosby is something we should all be watching. I know this is obvious but this kid is special. He is the great one for the NHL. He is what the NHL is building around and he is someone we should all watch even if we don't watch hockey. Now you're probably wondering, "hockey isn't on TV." Well the Stanley Cup Finals WILL be on NBA starting with Game 3. It's stupid stuff like this that ruins potential NHL fans. The Stanley Cup Finals game 1 and game 2 will be on Versus Network! That is ridiculous. The NHL will never attract any new fans if they don't out the Stanley Cup Finals on network TV or even basic cable. Just bite the bullet and go to a sports bar for games 1 and 2. Here is a quick Sidney Crosby highlight video.

A new way to put on your pants

I Was The King First...
Two summers ago this blog was born, Pardon The Raheel Ramzanali with the blog address being www.kingofsports.blogspot.com
Well, another station in Houston has decided to crown one of their on-air personalities as the King Of Sports...I call foul here! In fact, if you go to google and put in "King of Sports Radio Houston" you will get Pardon the Raheel Ramzanali. Stealing is wrong...Anyways, the King of Sports wouldn't be the King of Sports without you the reader so I thank you for making me the first search result!
Explosions in the Sky on Austin City Limits
You might have heard Explosions in the Sky from the badass movie Friday Night Lights or you might have caught them on the TV show. This is one of the most powerful groups to come out of Austin. They are an instrumental quartet that really captures emotions that we all go through in life and sports. If you have not heard Explosions then you need to watch them on one of the best shows of all time, Austin City Limits.

Kobe Bryant= MVP
"So go ahead, go nuts, go ape shit,
Especially in my pastel, on my bape shit,
Act like you can't tell who made this,
New gospel, homey, take six, and take this, haters.
Now that don't kill me,
Can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer.
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger.
Man, I been waitin' all night now,
That's how long I've been on ya."
Kanye West- Stronger
In honor of seeing the best performer in Hip Hop last Friday, I am starting this blog post off with some Kanye West.
This also relates because all the Kobe haters can put one thing to rest, "Kobe doesn't have any MVPs."...He does now.
To celebrate here are 5 of the best Kobe videos from YouTube...Enjoy!

Posting for the People...
As the official unofficial blog of the people, I wanted to post about everything...
Let's Start in Houston
[This could be the feel good story of the year]....and by feel good I mean what the heck is happening! In Houston, a man was pulled over after a high speed chase and then shot after he did not obey officers request to put his hands in a visible position...he decided to dig under his seat (bad move)...The man was Roland Carnaby. You might not know Carnaby well because nobody knows who he is! Carnaby claimed he was in the CIA but then the CIA denied his existence in their branch. If this isn't made into a movie in the next year or so then I will lose all hope in Hollywood. This has everything, lies, death, the CIA and a shooting. This could be the weirdest story of the year...Oh, Carnaby's family had no idea about what he did for a living. Talk about a guy who could keep a secret!
[This guy was stoned!] This took place in Sugar Land after a park worker was hit in the head by a stone when a group of high schoolers were out there to celebrate Senior Day. Haha I would have paid anything to see the guy get in the head and then all the students act like nothing happened. Oh, the guy called the cops and wasted the people's money because they did not find who threw the stone. Gotta love it that this was in a major newspaper's website. Man hit with stone, Cops could not find the kid, man is a cry baby.
Now some news from around the Nation
[The University of Texas just produces Rookies of the Year]...That's right Kevin Durant was named the NBA Rookie of the Year...The Vince Young of basketball (without the national championship)...Durant will be one of the guys I tell my kids about when I get older. "I had a chance to cover Kevin Durant and watch him play in college."...What a great kid. If you are keeping count, thats two rookie of the year awards in the last two years that have come from UT. Vince and Kevin.
[Kanye West, Lupe, Pharrell, N.E.R.D and Rihanna]...I will be going to the Glow in The Dark Tour on Friday night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and I can't wait! This is going to be huge for one big reason! Child Rebel Soldier will be in the house together! CRS is the new super group formed by Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams. I'm hoping to hear some new CRS stuff or at least their hit song Us Placers. I'll give you the full report on Monday.
CD REVIEW
Just picked up the new Augustana CD Can't Love, Can't Hurt! I'm a big fan of Augustana and their first album All The Stars and Boulevards so I was really excited to hear their big sophomore album. At first when I listened I thought the album was just okay but it grows on you! I've had the CD on replay for a few days now. I thought the band did a great job of showing how flexible they are with their sound by doing a really slow song (Fire and Dust) to a radio hit song (Sweet and low) to a great follow up to Boston with the song (Twenty Years). This is a great CD so pick it up...here are some of the highlights from it
Fire
Twenty Years
