America’s new 4th sport

World series of pop cultureTo the chagrin of girlfriends around the country, the average guy has a major sport to watch, follow, bet on and discuss everyday of the year. Baseball dominates the summer, football the fall and basketball holding strong between the two. The NCAA picks up the slack after the Super Bowl and finishes up right as the NBA starts to get interesting. Despite the year round sports saturation, the supply has not quite met the demand. We as a country are missing our fourth sport. The spot once filled by the pre-strike NHL, and never satisfied by other feeble attempts (sorry XFL and soccer), is currently wide open for the taking.

Thankfully to my wandering mind, a day off of work and an all day marathon on VH1, “The World Series of Pop Cultureâ€? has become my choice as the new frontrunner. Though the entire first season can be watched in about nine hours (trust me on this), the show could become a major contender in the sports world by following these easy steps. (more…)

One Man’s Trash Could Be Your Treasure

dumpster diving
One of the most annoying things about college is moving every year. Not only do you finally get comfortable in your new pad only to have to pick up and move to another one, but you also realize how much crap you have. And if you are like me you get annoyed with all the packing and throw a lot of your stuff away.

Which makes for quite an expensive pile of trash. Add that to all your neighbors doing the same thing and you have yourself a nice little collection of goodies; a lot of it still in very good shape. Good enough, some argue, to take for themselves.

Who are those people? Well, the Freegans, of course. I was first introduced to Freegan culture while reading an article in the New York Times the other day. “Freegans are scavengers of the developed world, living off consumer waste in an effort to minimize their support of corporations and their impact on the planet, and to distance themselves from what they see as out-of-control consumerism.â€?

In other words, Freegans are price savvy people who decide to make another man’s trash their treasure. (more…)

World’s Hottest Athlete Wives with Photo Gallery!

01658531530300.jpgStar athletes are rich & famous physical specimens that can have the hottest women in the world with the snap of a finger.. and they take advantage of this. Look at Chipper Jones, who has three illegitimate kids with several different groupies or Wilt Chamberlain, who claims to have banged over 10,000 women in his life.

Getting with good looking nympho groupies night after night is a college guys dream but after years of this even the biggest studs get the urge to settle down.

Today we celebrate not the athlete stalking ho’s like Carmen Electra and Madonna but the top 3 most beautiful/refined/classy women to have married star athletes.

Concert Tailgate Guideline: My “311″ Experience with Slip & Slide

311I went to a 311 tailgate at Waterloo Festival Grounds in Northern New Jersey. I’ve been to so many concerts over the years I can’t even remember them all but this one stuck out. It was early August and we were parked on a field in the middle of the sticks of NJ with 500+ other cars full of people doing the exact same thing as us…chilling under the sun, blasting music, BBQ’ing, boozing with friends, meeting other tailgaters parked around us, pissing in bottles in my back seat, throwing crushed beer cans at unsuspecting bystanders, watching my friend puke in a party bowl of Doritos plus the amazing show. It was a classic experience that epitomizes the idea behind summer break.

To fully enjoy the concert tailgate experience you must take it from a pro and follow these guidelines. (more…)

NBA Draft 2007: It’s Like Winning the “Hood” Lottery

mainhdr_afterdraft1.jpg
After six months of hype, a tanking controversy, a debate over #1, trade rumors and a completely bizarre lottery outcome, the NBA Draft is finally here. In the sports world, the NBA draft is nestled between right below the NFL draft and right above the baseball All-Star game on the annual sporting events of importance list, and this year looks to bolster the rosters of the Northwest Division as Portland and Seattle will draft in the top two positions. We know the first two picks, and then we roughly know the next eight… just not the order. It should be interesting to see what happens with Atlanta, a franchise on the verge of facing a revolution among their fan base after years of being miserable, and also with Memphis, who may be packing their bags out of the city sooner than people think.

Before we get going, let me say that I think Nick Young out of USC is an absolute stud, and think he will be great. I would take him over both Yi and Brandan Wright. The kid shot 45 percent from three point land, brought a overmatched USC team to the Sweet Sixteen and knocked Kevin Durant out of the NCAA Tournament.

With that said, let’s get going with my first running diary for Coedmagazine.com, I will be your guide to everything NBA Draft for at least the lottery part of the draft, and if I’m feeling randy, I’ll probably stick around to see what Isaiah does with the Knicks picks.

7:00 pm – 15 seconds into the draft coverage, we get our first glimpse of Joakim Noah. He looks like he should be a building manager in a 1970s sitcom, or Will Smiths younger brother in “A Pursuit of Happiness�?

noah

7:04 – Three analysts, three exact same opinions. The top two are money, and after that could go either way. Thanks Mike Tirico, Stephen A. Smith and Mark Jackson. Also trade rumor #1 of tonight involving the Celtics and the Sonics, Ray Allen for the #5, Delente West, and Wally Sczerbiak. Isn’t Ray Allen 32?

7:05 – Atlanta had a chance to grab Amare Stoudamire, AMARE STOUDAMIRE! And missed it because they couldn’t decide if they want to give up both the three and the 11. How do they not pull this deal? With an inside scorer like Stoudamire, and Joe Johnson running the show, the Hawks automatically contend for a playoff spot in the East.

7:12 – According to Dick Vitale, the future TrailBlazer Greg Oden is a little Hakeem Olajuwan, Patrick Ewing, Tim Duncan, and Alonzo Mourning all in one. That’s three Hall of Famers and 7 kidneys wrapped up in one #1 pick. No Pressure Greg (more…)

NYC Apple Store: iPhone Watch; Update: Friday 10AM

Gadget lovers who just have to be the first to buy the highly anticipated iPhone have been camped outside the Apple store on New York’s Fifth Ave. all night.

Our official iPhone correspondent has texted in to give an update on the frenzied situation at the flagship Apple Store in New York City:

“The Apple store is pandemonium right now. There is a line spanning 2 blocks and an avenue and media trucks everywhere. It’s insane.â€?

- iPhone correspondent, CbDaBomb

The going rate for iPhones on Ebay is $1,200 but due to demand it’s hard to believe that everyone in line would actually receive a phone.


The Green Fairy Has Returned

As we all know, if anything is remotely fun, it’s probably illegal in the US. Sucks. At least it helps the tourism industry in the toking, special brownie eating Netherlands and the absinthe drinking Czech Republic.

But times are a changing. Absinthe is going to hit the U.S. market later this month. Rejoice friends and get ready to lift a glass in honor of your God-given right to get completely wasted on crazy green booze.

What is Absinthe exactly? Besides being the drink of choice for Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Verlaine, it is known as “the green fairyâ€? because of its bright almost neon green color.

Let’s not kid ourselves, it looks a little like radioactive waste but don’t let that stop you from drinking it down. Thanks the Temperance Movement, Absinthe has been banned in the U.S. since 1912 after rumors that its primary ingredient, grand wormwood, contained a psychosis-inducing hallucinogen. As far as taste goes, it has a light bitterness with sort of a complex flavor because of the multiple herbs that go into making the drink. (more…)

“Superbad” is gonna be super good… why are my titles so lame?

Even my mom has seen 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Maybe I have a very cool mom or maybe everyone on earth has seen those movies. Regardless the nerd crew behind the scenes is back releasing a new masterpiece on August 17th called “Super Bad” and the internet buzz is big.

IMDB says Superbad is about “two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) are forced to deal with separation anxiety after their plan to stage a booze-soaked party goes awry. ” Sounds cool but don’t take my word for it, check out the trailer here.
