Could It Be?

The Wire....movie?!? According to a recent SOHH interview with Felicia Pearson, a.k.a Snoop, she will be starring in a leading role in a FILM produced by Ed Burns and David Simons. The Wire but not the Wire but the cast of the Wire...hmmm. What are those guys cooking up for us? Who could forget characters like Bunk, McNulty, Stringer, Avon, Poot, Prop Joe, and Omar? All I know is I can't wait!

Poor, Poor Michael Vick

Lean On Me is one of my favorite movies. It's about a high school principal, Joe Clark, doing everything in his power to turn around a troubled inner-city school. One of the dilemmas that Mr. Clark had was that even though the school doors were locked from the inside, kids were opening the doors and letting the drug dealers in. Mr. Clark's solution? Chain the doors. Of course, he wasn't supposed to chain the doors but he was determined to save all the students at East Side High that wanted to be saved. Consequently, the Fire Marshall was called in and he was arrested. In this arrest scence, as they were hauling him off into the police car, surrounded by students and faculty, he delivered this line, (or something like it) "You break the law; you pay the price." Lean On Me was based on a true story.

According to USA Today, between 2001 and 2006 Micheal Vick made a total of $61,910,630 (if my math is correct). So I'm supposed to be outraged because Michael Vick broke the law and may not be able to play professional football again? You break the law; you pay the price, whatever that price may be. Here are few stories you should actually care about: the kid who dunked on LeBron, Jon & Kate, who will get MJ's kids and Tony Romo's love life.

Sick


Okay, let’s face it. Men are essentially weak. This can be the only explanation why a cold will have a man curled in the fetal position. I will never comprehend how a man can lift a dresser, change a tire, and play football all day; but let that same man get a sniffle and he’s down for the week. And to compound the issue further, this same man refuses to visit any specialized physician. Instead, opting to self diagnose themselves with Orange Juice and Vitamin C tablets. Then, of course, after two weeks of complete helplessness they sing praises of their cure. I just want to believe that Robitussin would have knocked the cold out in two days. But what do I know? I never get sick.
