Week Sauce: 1/5/2014-1/11/2014


It's been a while since I've done one of these. I think the rust will show. So without any further ado, here is the best/worst of what I considered news from last week. You're welcome



Polar Vortex: It got cold...really damn cold. That's all you need to know. Why does there have to be a name for every weather related phenomenon? Don't blame global warming, blame January, and if that doesn't work, blame Obama or Chris Christie (we'll get to him later).

The Florida State Seminoles Won the BCS Championship: In the final episode of the ongoing BCS drama in NCAA football, FSU and the Auburn Tigers put on a hell of a show. This game will go down as one of the greatest in BCS history, with the final outcome not known until the last play of the game. The Seminoles outlasted the Tigers by a score of 34-31.

Just when the college football season was going end on a high note, they handed the mic to the much maligned FSU quarterback Jameis Winston. There are no words that can describe the post game speech he delivered, at least no words in the English dictionary. Take a listen:






2014 Coachella Line-Up Announced: The west coast music festival so big, it needs 2 weekends. Nas, Pharrell, Haim, Skrillex, Kid Cudi, Queens of the Stone Age...so many big names. The headliners? None other than a reunited Big Boi and Andre 3000, a.k.a. Outkast. That is hip-hop's equivalent of a Simon & Garfunkel reunion. Coachella is always full of surprises, so I'm guessing the 'Kast reunion won't even the biggest story coming out of Cali during the festival. Can't wait!

Bridge-Gate: Chris Christie you fat bastard, you. Did you forget that we live in the age of the Internet, where you can't get away with shit? Did you hire Carlos Danger's Anthony Weiner's political team. On the bright side, with his presidential aspirations up in flames, Christie can finish his audition tape for the second season The Biggest Loser: 2nd Chances.

2014 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Inductees: Frank Thomas, Greg Maddux, and Tom Glavine. All pure, all natural. I think the voters tried to prove a point with this class. Better luck next year, Barry and Roger.
