Every morning I hail a cab at the same corner in the West Village in NYC.  Most days, it’s an easy grab, rarely a wait.  But this morning I was running late and there were literally 5 people standing up and down the avenue flailing for a cab’s attention. So, I did what any good New Yorker would do, walked deeper into the stream of traffic and snagged the first cab.  This FTW moment quickly became a moment of FAIL when I saw Jon Stewart standing outside my window. D’oh.

With the New York Comedy Festival kicking off November 4th in New York City, Dane Cook has been making the morning show rounds promoting the festival and his gig at Madison Square Garden. We’re certainly big fans of the NYCF, but we can’t seem to wrap our brains around Dane Cook’s inclusion in an otherwise stellar lineup.  I mean he was voted #1 in our 10 Most Unfunny Comedians of All-Time.  Maybe it would make more sense if he were playing the New York Biggest-Jackass-Orator Festival? Just saying.

As you probably already know, we here at COED are big fans of the Lingerie Football League. There’s just something about seeing super hot models go at each other in their underwear that does something special for us. So when we got the chance to speak with Niki Connor and Niki Ghazian of the LA Temptations, we could barely contain ourselves. We chatted about everything from football to naked group showers. (Yes, they’re real!) Care to take a look?

COED: How did you become a member of the LFL?

NG: I was a part of the Lingerie Bowl since the 2006-2007 season, before it franchised into the Lingerie Football League.  I wasn’t automatically put on the LA team; I had to try out and beat out hundreds of girls. I was one of the few models who had a serious athletic background, so it worked out well for me.

NC: Niki G. and I became friends and started working out together because I wanted to make my New Years resolution come true (for once): To get back into fighting shape. I knew that she played for the L.A. Temptation, but I didn’t know much about the league, since most people (including myself) thought that it is still just the Lingerie Bowl. I began training with the team to prepare for tryouts, and boy was I shocked by all the hard work that the sport requires! (more…)

Whether you’re the world’s biggest football fan, or just a dude, it’s time to get excited for Lingerie Football 2009! Friday, September 4, marks the kick-off of this sexy sports combo that is the LFL. So to help get you in on the action, we’ve compiled the Twitter pages for tons of the beautiful babes of the Lingerie Football League!

NOTE: If anyone knows of any players that we’ve missed, let us know and we’ll add ‘em in! (more…)

Downstairs from the COED offices is a bike messenger office. And if you know anything about bike messengers, you know that means there are, at all times, about 15 dudes hanging out on the sidewalk who look like they might kick your ass just because they’re bored. They’re rough and tumble – that’s just how they are. Also, they cary 15-lb Kryptonite lock. Which is exactly why you don’t start screaming at them…

New York City – home to every type of person you can imagine, all crammed on top of each other into an area 1/10th the size of Los Angeles. Because of this denseness and the swath of humanity living within its borders, from immigrants and working Joes to crackheads to the richest people on the planet, surviving in New York as an average person is hard. It’s hard to get around, hard to pay for rent – and hard to keep from going postal every 10 minutes because of some douchebag you run into on the way to work. So, as a follow-up to “How to Not Be a Douchebag Tourist in NYC,” here are a few things to remember when living in New York, to help keep the gears of this great city moving (and to keep someone from punching you in the face.)

As you must already know, Brooklyn’s McCarren Park Pool is out of commission for a while because of construction projects planned there. Because of this, the free concert Pool Parties, which have become a huge success in New York and are expanding to other cities this year, will now be taking place along the East River. And they’ve just released their summer ‘09 line-up. Check it out!

Today’s an exciting day, people. No, the economic crisis isn’t over, and the new iPhone doesn’t even come out until next week. It’s exciting because Victoria’s Secret has a new model! Meet bangin’ brunette super-hottie Nicola Mar, originally from the Carribean island of St. Maarten. We don’t yet know a ton about lovely lady, but something tells us we will…

The Sounds recently played an intimate invite-only “secret show” at Santos Party House in NYC to celebrate the release of their newly released album “Crossing the Rubicon”. The tickets were nearly impossible to attain, so check out our pictures from the show if you weren’t lucky enough to score a pair.

Earlier in the day COED got the chance to meet up with Maja (lead vocals) and Felix (guitar) to ask them questions about their song writing process, touring, the new album and tattoos, amongst other things. Enjoy!

Note From the Editor: In New York City, anything can be delivered straight to your doorstep, from Chinese food to rare antique furniture – to the best weed on planet Earth. That’s right, instead of scoring a sh!tty dime bag from a dude in Washington Square Park, New Yorkers can just call a number and have a bud-toting bike messenger show up at their apartment with a buffet of different strains of weed – Purple Haze, Kush, Sour Diesel – they’ve got it all. We caught up with one of these drug delivery men who agreed to tell his tale here on COED. This is his story, from his perspective.

Believe it or not, riding your bike around New York City all the time is kind of dreamy.

Especially when it’s finally nice out. I don’t know if you live in the Northeast, but here in NYC we were punished by what seemed like month after month after month of greyness and cold and all-the-time wet with snow and ice and rain.

But now the sun is shining, and it’s nice – even though riding is like, maniacs of every race, creed and color coming at you from every direction; nearly every moment is like, what the f*ck, how am I not dead? (more…)
