Are you having some questions about who to vote in your state’s presidential primary? A lot of the candidates’ policies and views seem the same, thus making a difficult distinction between which one deserves your vote.

While scouring the blogosphere and numerous Los Angeles County newspapers, COED has unearthed some surprising celebrity endorsements that may shed some light on who you should vote into office.

While we wouldn’t recommend siding with a candidate based upon a celebrities’ opinion, it does help to see what the un-common man thinks about the front runners (not really, but it’s somewhat interesting, right?).

“I’m going with Senator Barack Obama. I like him a lot. I respect him. I really think he’d make a fantastic president.”

Spring Break seems pretty straightforward: Find some friends and a beach, and have yourself the haziest, sleaziest week of your life. But not so fast, beaver-eager. There are some bad people, and badder deals, lurking out there. We spoke to Rocky Berndsen, New York regional manager of STA Travel and frighteningly knowledgeable Spring Break expert, to get the low-down on vacation scams and what not to do on vacation.

Always book your trip with a reputable company. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The worst scammers will take your money and disappear without a trace by the time your so-called flight is scheduled to take off. Others will change your flights without telling you, forcing you to return to the airport day after day until they finally feel ready to board the plane. And don’t even get us started on those hidden fees (which, Berndsen helpfully points, STA doesn’t do). Read More »

I am new to Washington DC, and have been trying a find a place I can go afterwork to put my feet up and booze it up a little. Everyone (besides Mormons) needs a go to bar, and before last night my search was continually ending with no results. After an impromptu desire to find wings with a couple co-workers, I fell in love last night with a bar that had it all. Dollar off happy hour, comfortable couches and seating, pool tables, a juke box, large young crowd. On top of all of this they had 10 cent wings. GOOD WINGS! After a beer, 20 wings, and tipping the bartender, I was just down a five spot. I was so happy that I even called my dad to tell him that I had found ‘The One.’

The love affair lasted only one day. 12 hours actually. After talking up the place all night to friends and family, i discovered on the morning news that my new love had burned to the ground. Read More »

Over the past few weeks, the hipsters at ESPN have been debating who the most ‘Now‘ athlete is in the world. Juggernauts in the world of trend, such as Mike Greenberg and Kevin James have voiced their arguments for the likes of David Beckham, Kelly Slater, and Reggie Bush all setting up the much anticipated championship on August 5th between Lebron James and Tiger Woods. The event promises to draw a bigger crowd than the Superbowl, more important than the moon landing and more entertaining than Jake Plummer’s mustache. Read More »

We live in a society filled with bad, bad ideas. Gigli, The Bill Engvall Show, Txt Me Tees. With all of these contrived, truly terrible ideas being created and than marketed around me, I tried to give one bad a chance. On July 23, CNN is going to host a debate for the Democratic presidential hopefuls. The futuristic twist to this debate is that anyone in the country can submit a 30 second video to Youtube, and there is a chance that your question could be read to the candidates.

In theory, allowing the public to voice their own questions would put an end to the drawn out, scripted questions of past presidential debates. After reading the press release for the event, I immediately thought of the potential of such event; hard hitting questions, from real people. You can’t discredit the real people! My enthusiasm was short lived however when I saw the Anderson Cooper promo commercial, and I finally got a clue to what type of event this will be. Read More »

I grew up with Bo Jackson and Joe Montana in my backfield. Granted, I have been a Bronco fan my entire life, but before I remember watching football games on TV, I remember running over the top of everybody in Tecmo Bowl because I knew Bo. I dominated with either Bo and the LOS ANGELES Raiders or Joe and the late 80’s 49ers on my two button, 8 bit Nintendo system back in the day. Unfortanely for everbody, Bo broke his hip and Joe was long out of the league before any realistic, current generation football game came onto the market. This all changes at the end of this summer.

I usually play only sports games, but I feel that the Halo franchise brings more than the typical first person shooter. Halo is not just a game, but it is a necessary guy skill… a skill that defiantly makes life easier for the penis baring sex. Whether it is a game every guy should know how to play, a sport that makes spontaneous conversation a cinch, or a simple motion, there are many things a guy can learn to greatly expand their group of acquaintances and also get along with more ease on a day to day basis.

The comment board on this Imus story is so hot that I deceided to bring it back to the top of CO-ED so more people could join in. Rory (the author of the story) will check it on the hour and will respond to any comments you leave him.

At one point this year, Don Imus was the most discussed man in America. Did he cross the line? Was he exercising his right to free speech? It was an issue about morals, race, censorship, and surprisingly, women’s basketball. Everyone had an opinion. Then Seung-Hui Cho shot up Virginia Tech, Paris Hilton went to jail, the Sopranos ended, and all of a sudden Don Imus was not only off the air, but he was forgotten from the collective American memory.

Sunday July 1st will always be remembered as one the most puzzling days in Seattle sports history. The Mariners had just won their eighth game in a row, closed the gap on the division leading Angels, and the people of Seattle were buzzing like another WTO conference was in the works. The players were happy, and the managerial staff seemed adequate, at the very least. Things were looking up for baseball in the Pacific Northwest.

Then, with the snap of two fingers, Mike Hargrove packed up his stuff and resigned as manager, with no concrete explanation surprising fans and players alike. So where does this leave the team as they head into a four game at division rival Oakland? Can they continue playing above their level? Can they catch the Angels with an inexperienced, impromptu manager? Does the role of manager really matter at this level? Read More »

To 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. Read More »

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�?

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 Read More »
