The 1st Thread/Music Energy Boost For 12/10/12: Rick Ross ft. Smalley- Ten Jesus Pieces (2012)

Image
Just because I play this song doesn't mean I co-sign it. In fact, he probably didn't even write the lyrics to it. And I also bring this video up because he had to cancel the rest of his tour from basically sounding too hard when he just is not that . But enjoy this fake Rick Ross featuring Smalley with "Ten Jesus Pieces."

TWD Sunday Sports Thread #2 For 12/9/12: 2012 NFL Week 14 Early Game Halftime Thoughts

Image
An excellent first half for Joe Flacco against the Redskins (Photo from Patrick Semansky of the Associated Press) 1) Ugly first halves the Jets-Jaguars and Bills-Rams. The Jets and Rams offenses certainly aren't playing like they still have a realistic shot at being in the postseason. 2) Best first half of defense all season long by the Panthers, but the Falcons offensive line just has not showed up whatsoever. Just three rushing yards, 35 yards total? Cam Newton has completely dominated them. 3) It was always set up as a trap game for the Colts today against a Titans team that probably should have defeated them in their first game of the season. But Andrew Luck is at home, and is always ready to gunsling in a dome for a comeback. 4) Another Sunday where the Cowboys just can't run the football. Their line is not helping DeMarco Murray and Tony Romo against this vaunted pass of Cincinnati. 5) As expected, it's an offensive shoutout in the battle of the Beltway ...

TWD Sunday Sports Thread #1 For 12/9/12: 2012-13 Barclays Premier League (Manchester Derby Recap)

Image
Final: Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United  In all honesty, City were never truly deserving of a point. United through Rooney, Young, Valencia and Van Persie had much more cutting edge and clarity, as the first half showed.  Ever the constant playmaker for Van Persie at the start of the season, Wayne Rooney is definitely now finding himself in places to show his class finishing and get higher on the goal list. As always, at least in the league under Mancini the last season and a half, City play their best when it seems like everything is about to crumble. Tevez gave them the lead man play that Balotelli hasn't given them all season, and with Johnny Evans out, City's persistence was able to cause United's defense to leak more goals this year. But thankfully for United, they didn't start off on the back foot this time, and always kept their nerve whenever adversity hits in a match (Barcelona aside). Despite the comeback from City, Van Persie's de...

TWD Saturday Sports Thread For 12/8/12: The 1st Freshman For the 12th Man (Recap)

Image
Johnny Manziel is the winner of the 2012 Heisman Trophy, with Mantei Te'o getting the highest votes ever for a defensive only player.  Manziel really spoke so well and gracious, especially espousing love for the family of Joseph Villavisencio after the tragedy of the offensive lineman's death this past summer.    Te'o really did come close, losing 2,029 to 1706 points in the final total. But in the end, defense wins championships, but offense (especially quarterbacks) get Heismans.  Te'o should win the award overall, since he has been outstanding in every game this season, something that Klein and certainly Manziel has not been. In fact, Manziel should really be in last place out of all these three terrific players. Manziel had mediocre games with poor halves against Florida and LSU at home, with Klein's only so-so day really was on that evening three weeks ago in Waco to end Kansas State's realistic hopes at a BCS title game appearanc...

The Reel Feel Thread For 12/8/12: Even At This Place, The Defenseless Is Not Safe...

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy "I think we come back to the entitlement question. The Democrats should actually be in favor of certain kinds of progressive entitlement reform, it's not actually that big of a give..... One of the big concerns is doing too much fiscal austerity too soon in 2013. The more that you did in the form of, say, social security, one of the things with Social Security, which can be phrased in gradually over time, the lighter the load imposed in 2013." - Peter Orszag Personally, I like Erza Klein, especially after meeting him once in person. He's genuinely a nice guy overall for sure, and we know how intelligent he is from exploding onto the scene with consistent diligence on budgets at The American Prospect. Most people would probably say the same about Peter Orszag genuinely as a person. Nice guy who is definitely quite a personality for a lot of wonk people who aren't able to be pers...

The Flashback Friday #2 For 12/7/12: B2K ft P.Diddy- Bump Bump Bump (2002)

Image
Before all their Chris Stokes issues, their last meaningful single as a group, where I forgot Diddy was even on this song. It's B2K with "Bump Bump Bump," part of your Flashback Fridays at The Whole Delivery.  They sure as hell don't play this on the radio anymore. And that's even if you still listen to the radio.  More on TWD, stay tuned.
