Week Sauce: 2/9/2014 - 2/15/2014



We're halfway done with February people. I can almost smell Spring (sniffs the air and makes The Rock's face). I'm sure Mother Nature will have a few parting gifts for us as we exit winter. Any who, here's the best and the worst from the past week. Seems to be more worst than best, but to quote the great Keith Murray, "it beez like that sometimes." You're welcome.



Michael Sam Comes Out: This NFL prospect from the University of Missouri made himself an officially true hero community. Whereas most high profile people choose to wait until after they've made their millions to come out of the closet, my man (no jokes) Michael Sam, who has not secured check numero uno from an NFL team, decided to come clean about his sexuality before the NFL draft. Some call it risky, but I call it courageous, and hopefully his ability on the football field will stand above his sexual preference when teams are deciding to take a chance on Sam in April. We shall see.


Bob Costas' Eye Infection: Bob Costas had to step down as NBC's on-air Olympic ambassador and leave Sochi early in order to let his unsightly eye infection get the proper medical attention it deserves. One question still remains: who farted on Bob's pillow? The world may never know.












Billy Ray Cyrus Goes Hip-Hop: I guess Billy Ray said "hey, it worked for Miley." Absolutely ridiculous.


Kanye's Valentine's Day Rant: While you were reading my Tough Love post, Kanye West was on tour, going off on yet another tangent. The main focus of this rant...Sway and Charlemagne the God. Getting treated in those interviews must have finally got to 'Ye. Here I was thinking that men address issues as they arise, not 3 months later. Silly me.


Yet Another Weak NBA Dunk Contest: NBA All-Star Saturday Night was going pretty well. The Skills Competition was decided by less than a tenth of a second and the 3-Point Contest went into an overtime round. I should have known better than to think the Dunk Contest would be able to keep pace. A very lackluster way to end, what was up to that point, a pretty entertaining evening. Whoever came up with that new format needs to be fired immediately and be forced to wear one of those ugly sleeved All-Star jerseys for the rest of their lives. Props to John Wall for giving us at least one highlight.
