Champions League Final WAG War: Chelsea FC vs FC Bayern München [PHOTOS + POLL]

The Champion’s League Final Game is set to kick off on May 19th between Chelsea FC and FC Bayern Munchen (Airing on Fox Soccer | 8:00 PM). We can’t promise that the match will be as exciting as last weekend’s Man City game, but then again, there aren’t going to be many more games like that one. That’s why it’s important to find other things to watch during these games of footie. You might think that soccer fans are all bald, drunken hooligans, but some of the player’s biggest fans (wives and girlfriends) are smoking hot chicks. Who the fields the best off-the-pitch team? We’ll leave you to decide that. Check out the Champions’s League Final WAG War below and then vote for your favorite team at the bottom.

COED Crashes Las Vegas With Captain Morgan And His Morganettes

This past weekend we went out to Las Vegas with seven other bloggers from the Elite 8 Round of Captain Morgan’s Bracketmaster Challenge for a wild weekend with the Captain and his Morganettes. Our mission was two fold: 1) Promote our Morganette Nicole so she can get to the Final Four and 2) Collect as many photos of people doing the Captain Morgan Pose to drive donations for the One Million Poses charity. Did we succeed?  Read on to find out!

Day 1: Thursday, March 24, 2011

We got to Las Vegas Thursday morning and checked into our room at the MGM Grand. After settling in we had a meet and greet with our Morganette Nicole and the other blogger coaches at the Captain Morgan suite. After a brief overview of our objectives for the weekend, we went down to the Sports Book and took part in the first photo challenge of the weekend: collect as many Captain Poses (left leg up, hand on hip, looking victorious) as possible.  After dominating the sports book COED collected over 200 Poses using our beastly Nikon D7000, enough for us to win the first challenge!

Team COED did well but most of the credit needs to go to Nicole who was able to quickly explain the situation to consumers and get them to pose – we even ran into a kid wearing a Barstool Sports “Winning” t-shirt. We’d hope to do more of that in the next couple days.

Later that night we had a welcome dinner at MGM Grand’s FiAMMA where we got to mingle with the entire Bracketmaster crew and the Captain who delivered a rousing toast. At one point the Master Mixologist of MGM Las Vegas resorts Kent Bearden personally delivered a special Captain Morgan cocktail to me. We ate like kings and got to know Nicole a little better over Kent’s creations. Turns out Nicole’s hilarious and a champion eater, polishing off two ice cream desserts, an amazing feat for someone who is ridiculously in shape.

Day 2: Friday, March 25, 2011

Friday was a blur. We kicked off the day with a photo scavenger hunt at The Mandalay Bay. We had to capture as many photos as possible of people doing the following 5 tasks:

1. holding a betting ticket
2. wearing NCAA gear
3. holding a Captain Morgan cocktail
4. texting Nicole to 44686
5. posing with a blogger coach doing the Captain pose

After 30 minutes of madness, One Great Season took the victory. We then went over to Rick Moonen’s Seafood joint in the Mandalay.  I decided to go balls to the wall and ordered a kick ass bacon & cheddar burger with a topping of crispy mac and cheese with ham on a toasty bun. Needless to say it was the most delicious, heart stopping thing I ate all weekend.

After Rick’s we walked over to the world’s largest Guiness store (that just so happens to be attached to an Irish bar). All the Irish fare must’ve made an impression because we immediately headed to O’Sheas with Alex from BroBible, Phil from Gunaxin and Christian from Captain Morgan’s PR firm, Taylor Strategy, to play some “high stakes” beer pong. If you haven’t been to O’Sheas its worth a  look, the crew I went with was a little overwhelmed by the amount of fun going on but if you like competitive beer pong this is the place to be. Naturally, Neal and I swept the series, winning all three games.

For dinner we went to Gallagher’s Steakhouse in the New York/ New York. Alex from the Brobible got the largest prime rib anyone at the table has ever seen, big enough to put John Candy’s character in the Great Outdoors to shame. To work off the cals, we took part in the second photo challenge of the day: Organize the largest group Captain Morgan pose. Neal, Nicole and myself went to a dueling piano bar, Nicole jumped on the mic and got everyone in the entire bar to do the pose but apparently it still wasn’t enough to top Phil from Gunaxin who apparently had an instant cloning machine at his disposal.

We then proceeded to ROK at NYNY, popped some bottles with the Captain for an hour then proceeded to Jet at The Mirage for the main event of the night. What a great time! The bottles were flowing, Jet was packed, we danced and had a blast as you’ll see from the pictures. Of course, Neal ended up falling in love with our server, Mimi, who had the hottest, most ridiculous “cartoon” body he’d ever seen. John from One Great Season was even able to rest a drink on her rump, it was that bootylicious.

Day 3 (Part One): Saturday, March 26th, 2011

On Saturday we had only one photo challenge: Take the most pictures of people doing the Captain’s pose in NCAA gear in the MGM Grand sports book. That was followed by lunch with MGM Master Mixologist Kent Barden at Wolfgang Puck. For the entire lunch, I picked his brain about everything under the sun, from how he got his start in the liquor industry to the sheer volume of liquor that is consumed at MGM on any given day. We’ll have more on that interview in another post.

For dinner we stopped at Stack. I had the filet, which was AMAZING, a few Ketel One and soda’s and walked out with some gifts courtesy of Phil from Gunaxin. Our server was great as well, treating us to a round of complimentary shots that looked like urine samples but tasted delicious.

Day 3 (Part Two): The Announcement

We arrived at Studio 54 and escorted upstairs to our VIP booth. There were bottles of Captain Morgan waiting for us and the Morganettes were extremely hyped for the voting results. After some partying (and a lesson on how to Dougie from the hostess Amber) the Captain jumped on stage with the Elite 8 Morganettes at his side and announced the Final Four. Did all our hard work promoting Nicole pay off? Hell yeah it did! Nicole moved on to the next round to face Ego TV’s Morganette Niki.

Going Rogue at Comedy Central’s Roast of Donald Trump with AXE Hair [124 PHOTOS]

On March 9th, I went to the taping of Comedy Central’s Roast of Donald Trump at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. There were dozens of news sources covering the event…and then there was me, a 27-year-old man child. Instead of doing cookie cutter interviews I decided to go rogue and see what type of situations I could get into with an all-access VIP pass to the gold carpet, taping of the show and after-party all courtesy of AXE Hair. Good thing I had my camera because the night was a whirlwind of booze, comedy and celebrities. I’d also like to say I was having one of my best hair nights in a while thanks to AXE which made my drunken celebrity stalking much more easier. Face it, how you gonna arrest a guy with “girl approved hair”?

The Red Gold Carpet [53 Photos]

I left COED’s office around 4:30 pm and headed up to the Manhattan Center. After checking into the Gold Carpet celebrities started pouring in. It was very interesting to see paparazzi in action. Those people are friggin’ animals! They will yell just about anything to get a celebrity to look directly at their camera. These guys had $4,000 Nikon set-ups and I was armed with my Blackberry, $150 Canon point and shoot and Flip Cam so it’s safe to say that I took my role as “press” a little less seriously.

Snoop Dogg came out so I started screaming “Snoop-a-loop” and “Mr. Dogg” as loud as humanly possible. For a guy worth $2 Billion USD Donald Trump has a horrible make-up artist, Jesus! The guy is more orange than an Oompa Lumpa, talk about a self tanner fail! 2012 Sports Illustrated cover model hopeful  Chrissy Teigen was in the house with her boyfriend John Legend, she has incredible legs and is about 3 inches taller than Legend. Whitney Cummings looks like a Marylin Manson/Lady Gaga hybrid. WTF is up with Lisa Lampanelli’s husband? I don’t know anything about the guy but if he had a reality show I would definitely watch it based off of his look alone.

The Gold carpet was cool, literally it was like 37 degrees, and Seth MacFarlane totally blew my request to give COED’s Facebook fans a shout out in his Stewie voice so I was looking forward to getting inside the show to booze.

The Roast of Donald Trump [55 Photos]

What to say about the show itself? AWESOME! I love comedy shows and this was about as good as it gets (just read the Tweet chatter #TrumpRoast if you don’t believe me). The Donald came out in a mini hummer and made it rain (with real money) on the crowd. The Situation almost got booed off the stage until Jeff Ross came up and saved his ass, he was a good sport, though. Everyone ripped Larry King for being old. Snoop Dogg actually lit up a blunt on stage! There were probably 50 cops in the building so I don’t understand how he didn’t get arrested.

After the show I went rogue and snuck up on stage to mingle with the celebrities,  which was cool. Here’s what I learned, Gilbert Godfried might be the most awkward person on Earth, watch this video I shot of him and The Situation. Trump might have the biggest bodyguard on Earth. Snoop-a-Loop loves to mingle with normal people, he literally took pictures and talked to every single person who came up to him, including me, yeah I’m a douche.

The After-Party [16 Photos]

The after party took place at Gotham Hall, one of the nicest event spaces on New York City. Trump truly spares no expense when it comes to “wowing” people and the set-up of the Hall proved this. The lighting alone was pretty breathtaking.

Cass from Guyism.com and I got to the party and immediately headed to the bar to take the special shots of the night called “The Trump Tower” which consisted of Stoli Vanilla, White Creme de Cacao and Goldschlager. If I could figure out what the hell White Creme de Cacao is and where to buy it I might actually make “Trump Towers” on my own because they were delicious. We went over to the AXE Hair photobooth and took some pics. Even got to shoot the sh*t with Ice T and Coco for a bit while we waited in line. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I  think Coco wanted to make out with me. I swear it’s because I was having the ultimate hair day thanks to AXE Hair, no joke!

16 Things You Didn’t Know About Daniel Tosh

Daniel Tosh is the new Dave Chappelle. Okay, so maybe it’s not as cut and dry as that but Tosh’s ratings for Comedy Central are very Chappelle-like. He’s averaging more than 4 million viewers every Tuesday night (“Chappelle Show” averaged 3.1 million at its peak), he’s destroying Stewart and Colbert.

Nick Swisher: Social Media Hall Of Famer, Possible Marketing All-Star?

Whether you’re a Yankee fan or not you have to admit Nick Swisher is the man. His energy, charisma, philanthropy and love of the game are just what the Doctor Gooden ordered for baseball. However, those traits aren’t just confined to the field and personal appearances, they carry over to world of Twitter and Facebook as well. Recently, NBC called him a “social media superstar” and if you’ve been following Swish on those platforms, you know the dude’s always got something interesting to say or show.

As you can see from the twitpic above, Mr. Joanna Garcia returned to his alma mater, The Ohio State University, to hang out with the baseball team. Must’ve been pretty exciting for the guys to have a Yankee star attending practice.  So, what makes this newsworthy? According to an article by The Wall Street Journal, Swish is part of a growing trend that has “mid-level” ball players who are personable and popular becoming skilled spokespeople and valuable endorsers. Here’s an excerpt:

Mr. Swisher is a good player but is not on a Cooperstown track. As celebrity endorsements move beyond the superstars, the mid-level player with personality and social-media savvy can reach endorsement and name-recognition levels that were once only the domain of the best of the best, said David Carter, author of the recent book, Money Games, and head of the USC Sports Business Institute.

The article is a great read, check it out here and view some hilarious Swisher pics below.

23 Things You Didn’t Know About Michael Jordan On His Birthday!

Michael Jordan turns 48 today. Happy B-day, Your Airness! It’s tough to encapsulate how amazing Air Jordan is in one post. The man is the Grand Poobah of poster dunks, has his own legendary line of shoes, dominates video games, loves to party, and is one of the most liked athletes of all-time. He’s provided us with some of the most memorable moments and quotes. Now, we present 23 incredible facts about Brooklyn’s own 6=time NBA Champion.

1) Jordan started the trend of the long-length shorts. He claims he wore them that length so he could cover up his North Carolina shorts, which he always wore during his pro career. However, his style caught on, and soon mostly everyone wore their shorts at a longer length.

2) According to CelebrityNetWorth.com Michael Jordan is worth $500 million.

3) Topped “Forbes” magazine’s “The 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces”, with an estimated settlement of $168 million.

4) Jordan was voted in as an All-Star starter by the fans in his rookie season. Controversy arose before the All-Star game when word surfaced that several veteran players, led by Isiah Thomas, were upset by the amount of attention Jordan was receiving. This led to a so called “freeze-out” on Jordan, where players refused to pass him the ball throughout the game.

5) In his first game in Madison Square Garden as a rookie against the New York Knicks, Jordan received a prolonged standing ovation, a rarity for an opposing player.

6) A new rule was invented where a player could take one extra step if he was in the process of shooting, passing, or driving to the hoop. This rule came into effect because Jordan would do this quite often in his career without getting a traveling call.

7) In 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN, and was second to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press’s list of athletes of the century.

8) He fouled out 10 times in his career.

9) An academic study found that Jordan’s first NBA comeback resulted in an increase in the market capitalization of his client firms of more than $1 billion.

10) At the height of his career the Detroit Pistons utilized their “Jordan Rules” method of guarding Jordan, which consisted of double and triple teaming him every time he touched the ball.

11) Jordan has also appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated a record 49 times.

12) He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in September 2009, with former Bulls teammates Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Charles Oakley, Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, and Toni Kukoc in attendance.

13) Has a tattoo of the Greek letter ‘Omega’ over his heart, representing Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, of which he is a member.

14) Wore the #23 for his NBA career with the Chicago Bulls, and the Washington Wizards. Sometimes wore the #45 because it was his older brother Larry’s number in high school.

15) Jordan also wore #12. However, he wore it in only one game–in 1990 after an Orlando Magic Arena employee stole his uniform. It was a back-up jersey and did not even feature a last name. He scored 49 points in the game, leading the Bulls win over the Magic.

16) Neither of his parents are more than 5′ 9″ tall.

17) Known as the greatest clutch player in basketball history and won his last NBA championship with a steal and a shot.

18) As a 31-year-old rookie with no professional baseball experience, he drove in 51 runs, stole 30 bases, 6 outfield assists and had 7 game-winning hits. He led the Birmingham Barons with 11 bases-loaded RBI and 25 RBI with runners in scoring position and two outs. With those statistics, he may have been the best clutch hitter on that team.

19) Current Red Sox manager Terry Francona was Jordan’s manager during his time with the Birmingham Barons.

20) On 14 June 1998, Jordan made a shot that won the Chicago Bulls their 6th NBA championship in 8 years. “Jordan Hits the Last Shot” was ranked #2 in TV Guide’s list of the “25 Most Awesome Sports Moments (of the last 15 years)”.

21) His 1992 playoff game against the Portland Trailblazers, where he had 35 first-half points and nailed six three-pointers in a row, has been claimed by many as “the closest anyone has ever come to playing a perfect game of basketball.” Ironically, Jordan was bypassed in the 1984 draft by the Trailblazers, who picked Sam Bowie instead, a move that has gone down in history as one of the biggest draft-day blunders ever.

22) During his record performance of 63 points against the Boston Celtics in the playoffs, Larry Bird claimed that Jordan was “God disguised as Michael Jordan.”.

23) Michael Jordan having ‘retired,’ made $40 million in endorsements in 2010. Jordan makes:
• $178,100 a day, working or not.
• If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night or about what his son spend in one night of partying in Vegas.
• If he goes to see a movie, it’ll cost him $7.00, but he’ll make $18,550 while he’s there.
• If he decides to have a 5-minute egg, he’ll make $618 while boiling it.
• He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage.
• If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.
• If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.
• He’ll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.
• He’ll make about $19.60 while watching the 100- meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon .
• This year, he’ll make more than twice as much as all U.S. Past presidents for all of their terms combined.

The Winner Of Our Jeep Mud U iPad Giveaway Is…

Two weeks ago, we gave away an iPad to the winner of our “Caption This” contest and this last week we announced another iPad giveaway. Instead of doing another “Caption This” contest, we  peer pressured you to get down and dirty with the rich and famous using Jeep’s “Mud U” Facebook app. After sifting through more than 100 submissions to COED Magazine’s Facebook wall we narrowed the list down to our 16 favorite submissions (view below). We now have a winner.

It’s Chris B. of Boston, MA for his Charlie Sheen submission. Why did we pick his? Probably because we could all see this happening to Chucky during one of his coke-fueled, hooker-fests. Hmm, maybe mudding’s how Sheen gets his sheen? We’ll look into that.

On another note we now have a pretty solid start to a list of celebrities people love to mud up:

Justin Bieber

Lady Gaga

Fergie

The Hoff

Christina Aguliera

Lebron James

Lindsay Lohan

Britney Spears

Nicole “Don’t Call Me Snooki” Polizzi

Kanye West

Sarah Palin

Dane Cook

Tiger Woods

Olivia Munn?!

We’re guessing the backlash on Munn is for leaving G4TV’s Attack of the Show and joining NBC’s Perfect Couples (which isn’t all that bad a TV show if you can stomach Munn-dane relationsh*t).

Here are some of our favorite submissions:

COED’s Interview With NFL Offensive Rookie Of The Year Sam Bradford

Photo by Bill Greenblatt, © 2010 UPI

Sam Bradford, the Rams first year quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Oklahoma, can add another achievement to his resume: NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Thanks to a season in which he almost lead the franchise to its first playoff berth in 6 seasons, Bradford solidified himself as a leader and viable weapon. He now holds the records for most consecutive passes thrown without an interception by a rookie, most attempts by a rookie in NFL history, and most completions by a rookie in NFL history. We had the opportunity to hop on the phone with Sam to discuss everything from his superstitions to the impending lockout. Judging by his answers, you can expect big things from him in the years to come.

COED: How long did you let your hair grow before it was cut?

SAM: I let it grow from the beginning of the year until about two weeks ago. End of July to the middle of January. It’s always been a tradition of mine that started back in high school. I’d grow my hair out from the beginning of football to the end of basketball. Then at the end of basketball I’d always buzz it. In college I would grow it out from the beginning of the season to the end of Spring Break then I would buzz it so yeah, I’ve buzzed my hair quite a bit in the past.

COED: So you let AXE come in on your yearly tradition.

SAM: Yeah, it’s definitely much better doing it with them then having one of my buddies do it in a garage or backyard. I feel much better about the haircut they gave me then one of my friends.

COED: Can cutting your hair or messing with your signature look screw with your on the field swagger? Or are people looking too deeply into it?

SAM: I think that’s one of the reasons I don’t mess with my hair during the season, I am extremely superstitious.  During the season if we get on a roll, no one is touching my hair. I can definitely see, as an athlete, that if you’re in the middle of the season and you mess with your look, in the back of your mind, it could affect you a little bit so I typically cut mine in the offseason so I don’t have to worry about it affecting my play the next year.

COED: What are some other superstitions?

SAM: Man I have a lot. I eat the same thing for breakfast every week, I read the story of David and Goliath in my hotel room every week, I listen to the same music before every game, I could go on and on about my superstitions during the week.

COED: Will you continue to use AXE Buzzed Look Cream + SPF 15?

SAM: No doubt, I’m definitely going to continue using it, just for the fact that it’s a great hair product, it’s got good texture and softens my hair but it also has SPF15 and that is extremely important for people with short hair because your scalp is exposed. I’m always outside playing golf or throwing or running so I’m going to keep using the product because it has the SPF15 that will keep my scalp protected from the sun.

COED: Who was more popular on campus, you or Blake Griffin?

SAM: I would say Blake.

Note: Sam and Blake played on the same AAU basketball team in high school, here’s a pic to prove it, homey.

COED: The “flip” is considered to be your Heisman winning moment. Is there really a “Sam Bradford Flip” monument or is that ‘shopped?

SAM: The flip was real but unfortunately the monument isn’t.

COED: What kind of car do you drive?

SAM: Ford F150

COED: There is a running joke that Ed Hochuli puts on a gun show at each game he refs. Who could bench more weight, you or Ed Hochuli?

SAM: Oh Ed Holculi, his arms are HUGE. That guy is jacked!

COED: Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavericks, was exploring a way to fund a college football playoff system. What are your thoughts on the current BCS system?

SAM: I mean, I know there has been a lot of controversy but it is the system we have to deal with. In order to have a college football playoff system, so many things would have to change. They would have to shorten the regular season to make sure the college kids weren’t playing 16-18 games (in a season), so I think right now the system we have is the best. If college went to a playoff system there would always be the argument as to who would be left out of the playoffs so there would still have to be a system in place to determine who gets into the playoffs. So I think the system we have now is fine and people will have to learn to deal with it.

EDITOR’S NOTE: At this point in the interview, we asked questions submitted from some of our loyal users.

ROBERT NOE FROM SWANTON, OHIO ASKS: Why did you go to OU? What did you get a degree in? Did you graduate?

SAM: I grew up in Oklahoma, I was a huge Sooner fan, we had season tickets growing up so I knew that if I had the opportunity to get into Oklahoma that’s where I was going to go. That’s why I went there. I majored in finance and no I have not graduated yet but I do plan on going back, I’m not sure when but my Mom is pretty dead set on me graduating so I’ll go back one day to make her happy.

JEREMY LEGG FROM FORT COLLINS, COLORADO ASKS: What is your take on the labor negotiations and  will we have football next year?

SAM: You know, I hope we have football next year, I think we will. I know as much as everyone else who watches everything on ESPN. It’s not like they’re telling us anything different from what they’re telling the general public on TV. So I’m just hoping both sides can come to an agreement as soon as possible so I can get back to work.

DAVID MOON ASKS: Which team did u originally want to be drafted to in the 2010 draft?

SAM: I didn’t really have a preference of who I got drafted by. I knew I was going to go to the team that I was supposed to go to. I think it worked out great being in St. Louis this year. I absolutely love the team and the people there and I really couldn’t be happier that I could selected by St. Louis.

EFRAIN COBIAN FROM CALIFORNIA ASKS: How does it feel to have the opportunity to bring a team back to greatness? P.S. Congrats on the Rookie of the Year award.

SAM: Thanks, I appreciate that! It feels good to be a part of a group of guys that have the opportunity to do that. We have a great group of guys in place and we have a core group of guys with the attitude and motivation to get St. Louis back to where it once was. To have the opportunity be be a part of a team like that is special. We haven’t done it yet, but hopefully we can continue to improve and get St. Louis back to where it once was a couple years ago when they were The Greatest Show on Turf.

STEPHEN BURTON ASKS: Favorite band all-time and right now?

SAM: Uh, that’s tough. I would say all-time is Dave Matthews and right now is the Kings of Leon. I’ve been to a couple Dave shows.

I appreciate the support and keep your eye on St. Louis next year, go Rams!

COED’s Blogger Beer Pong 1.0 [PICS]

At COED we have a knack for taking things that are traditional and tossing them out the window. On Wednesday we held our first ever Blogger Beer Pong tournament at Wicked Willy’s in the West Village for our favorite bloggers, editors and people in the industry. 16 teams filled out the bracket and one went home with exclusive bragging rights as the first ever “Blogger Beer Pong” champion and this circus sized trophy. The night was a total shitshow and we have a great time meeting everyone who helps make COED happen.

And it begins, at the start my money was on a Team COED vs BroBible quarterfinal. COED vs Asylum/Guyism vs BarstoolSports semi-final. With COED vs Barstool in the finals. Neal and I come from baseball backgrounds so I truly believed in my heart that COED was bringing back that big ass trophy back to the office. It didn’t pan out as I have planned.

Dude, WTF is this?! We got fu*king destroyed by “Team Infographic World” in the first round. They shot first and got throwbacks twice in a row so before we even took our first shot we were down 6-cups to 10. I’m not saying in the Jesus Christ of beer pong but I can hold my own. What is Infographic World anyway? I’m willing to bet these guys are ringers who started a fake company to travel the country demolishing competition in blogger beer pong tourneys.

Team BroBible felt the wrath of Infographic World in the second round.

Finals match-up, Team Barstool vs Team Infographics World. KFC made it all the way to the finals playing with his opposite arm…I’ve got a feeling he’s a natural left and was bullshitting us the entire night.

And there I am giving away my precious trophy to Team Infographic World. We posted over 100 pictures to our Facebook group so check them out and if you were there Tag yourself.
