The Whole Delivery

Bring in Rebecca, because it's Friday Fun Thread time...... First celebration of a Friday for 2013, and how it will be a long but fast year when it comes to its conclusion. First up, we have Meredith Vieria's latest candid usage of the "S" word on live television, happening yesterday on the Today Show. Speaking of the "S" word, what is up with this dude throwing feces at their girl? Here it is.  GrumpyCat is excellent, and that is your Friday Fun Thread. Stay tuned for more at The Whole Delivery folks.  

The first Flashback Friday of 2013, it's Mr. Cheeks 2001's hit " Lights, Camera, Action, " the best solo effort from an artist who just hasn't been talked about any much such 2003. One of the funniest things about this video is the fact that Marcus Camby's jersey is being worn here by Cheeks, and the fact that he is back with the Knicks this season represents just how long he's been around the NBA. One of the underrated producers in the music game in Bink delivered with this beat to set up the hook for Cheeks best solo effort. Your First Flashback joint of the year, it's Mr. Cheeks with "Lights, Camera, Action." Mr Cheeks - Lights, Camera, Action by lachula

Shaun Wright-Phillips winner gave QPR a shock win at Chelsea, but they need a lot more results to save them.   It truly is three different seasons in the Barclays Premier League, with the holiday festive year end/year start four game period being its own grueling season of importance. It could further spurn you to make hasty or needy moves in a January transfer window that you didn't want to have to dabble in, and it sets the table for the second half of the season. After another festive period, Manchester United are in the front and center. But unlike last season, where a clear lost to Newcastle spelled omens on what became a title-less season, Sir Alex's men are sound favorites for the title. Shaun Wright-Phillips huge goal to give QPR the 1-0 win at Chelsea moved Harry Redknapp side from bottom of the table to......bottom of the table. I just don't see enough consistent team chemistry to overcome the drop for them, although they should finish ahead of Reading...

From 1912 to 2008, the years featuring the percentage of income the top bracket in America had to pay.  The election and what turned out to be the inevitable Fiscal C (Cliff, Curve, Crap, whatever your preferred "C" word of choice) debacle was a real legitimate chance to see whether the nation's lawmakers, starting with President Obama and Vice President Biden, was truly adamant about funding their nation properly after a decade of irresponsible, dangerous tax cuts to wealthy people. When I mean by lawmakers, I mean just Democratic figures making the argument that we need to go the truly opposite direction of fearing/loathing taxing, because we know the nutcases on the other side are opposed to funding any government. It was suppose to at least usher in the clearly rational argument that the best functional democracy operates not under idiotic anti-progressive spending cuts that bring America the austerity pain that Europe is having, but fully fun...

Just want to take some time to give major shoutouts to news friends in general for how great they have been in 2012 to me in both a professional and personable sense. First, major love has to be given to the one and only Mona Eltahawy. It really was awesome to see how awesome you are in general, and definitely hope there will be no major illness like you've had at 2012's end. You definitely deserve that shoutout first in terms of being shouted out first and foremost. And it's so great that you and Melissa have stuck such a great friendly bound. Big shoutout for that for sure. Hard News/Political:  As always, the entire folks from Daily Kos, with Markos being a major reason why I even have an audience these last few years, as well as a major shoutout to David Waldman , allowing me on his radio show and setting the seeds for show of mine down the line. I will always appreciate him for sure for that, and definitely hope in 2013 it will continue. Definitely t...

HALFTIME THOUGHTS Images from NFL.com  1) Another forgettable first half for that Lions secondary, as their angles on Earl Bennett's long touchdown run was just unbearable. Still, Stafford's ability to gunsling comeback and Cutler's ability to screw any quality situation up always puts the Bears in danger here. 2) Arian Foster and the offensive line for the Texans just have not been the same as they where at the start of the season, and so far, Matt Schaub is not rising to the occasion. 3) On the end of that Texans/Colts game, the emotion for Chuck Pagano is certainly caring their offensive and defensive lines. 4) For Andy Reid's last game, this is just quite sad and pathetic how his tenure as coach of the Eagles is ending. (Post game analysis of only the meaningful games, to come in their conclusion. Stay tuned to TWD). 

Biggest early game schedule of the season with 11 kickoffs at the 1 PM ET hour. Realistically in terms of both teams needing the win for playoff importance, only three of those contests matter. Christian Ponder, or Morris Claiborne returning to the Cowboys secondary vs Brees, and the efficiency from injury in Robert Griffin's comeback, will be the three key people to watch for the most in this large early game window. Halftime standout points   1) All the pressure to perform today was on Christian Ponder today, and in this first half, he has done so. Has made the correct throws and playmaked in timely fashion.  Outstanding first half vs the Texans 2) Robert Griffin, superb so far considering coming back from injury, and slowly giving the Redskins the lead over a game Eagles side in likely Andy Reid's final home game in Philly. 3) Another INT TD score for the Colts as Darius Butler took it all the way on Brady Quinn to lead the Colts to a playoff ...
