DR of Congo: Dikembe Mutombo and Baloji
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo. It’s only fitting a 7’2” 250lbs bigman would have a large name. It’s only fitting a man of large character would have a large name. You might know him for wagging his “not in my house” finger at attempting dunkers. Or maybe you remember him getting dunked on by Vince Carter? But for a man that’s...

RADIOSHAQ 1 makes it rain candy
The fellas in Alias Punch, my favorite band going, put on their own event called RadioShaq 1. The 1 implies there will be many to come and that would be a good thing. RS1 was the most entertaining event I’ve been to in a while, featuring: food, music, booze, billiards, and face painting that kept the AP circus in full tilt.
Alias Punch has fun. The point of the RS series is to get the...

Space Jamz: Haiti
The first installment of Space Jamz will take us to Haiti. When people think of Haitian rappers they think Wyclef, but he was far too easy. Instead, I’m going with Top Adlerman, a Haitian rapper that’s been around since his reggae days in the 90’s. It’s hard to find information on Haitian rappers. Their bios aren’t as easily accessible as their American counterparts....

The Hysteria of National Signing Day
When your favorite team fails to make a bowl game, you’re pretty much on idle from Thanksgiving weekend until the first Wednesday in February. The desire to stare at ESPN3 streaming on your laptop, the need to hit refresh on college football blogs, and the drive to sign-in to [insertmascot/or/teamcolorshere.com] message boards halts entirely. You sit there wondering ‘what could have...

Why go to Lil Indies when you can get the Lou's...
I’m not sure what the purpose of Lil Indies really is. The Mills mystique is upper class children living the Bushwick dream of food trucks, PBR, and dressing like an idiot without jocks beating you up. The comedic part of Orlando’s Bushwick (read: Colonialtown) is the food truck is $11 a meal instead of $4, the PBR is $3 a beer instead of $1, and you’re still dressed like an...

Shoulders, Neck, and Back
The best way to warm-up your shoulders, neck, and back is with medicine balls. Any tosses you can do (over head, chest pass, granny) will loosen up the shoulder joints, just like cleaning the med ball (toss it up over your head and catch it) or slamming it (slam to the ground) will stretch the shoulders dynamically as well.
Shoulder Press (3-4, 2-12)- Shoulder Press is best done in a seated...

The Confusing Reality of American Sports
What has happened to sports in America? NL MVPs claiming their doping test was tainted. High school head coaches and boosters setting up apartments and cash payouts. NCAA head coaches and boosters being “bagmen” and forever impacting youngmen’s lives in the most corrupt of ways. Then there’s always the annual transcript changes, smart guys taking SATs for dumb guys (ie.:...

In the back room of a basement club in Chelsea, past the bouncer who mercifully let me in, through the front door and down the stairs, past the coat check and across the dancefloor and down a narrow hallway, I am staring at Lil Wayne through a very thin, almost transparent curtain. There are…

Did the Florida Gators drop to FCS for 2012?
I realize losing Charlie Weis can hurt: you’ve got extra pairs of XXXXXL pants around the equipment room, the new 4-ton durable water coolers didn’t get a ROI the way you wanted, and a cupcake schedule/fat joke is always good for a laugh.
However, I don’t care who you’ve lost, even Timmy’s departure didn’t hurt badly enough lead to this schedule. The...

Orlando, FL- Local Orlando-based musicians the Howling Owls have lost a percussionist. Colonialtown resident and percussion expert Kyle Uber, 24, has been missing for nearly three months, an event that had gone almost completely unnoticed by bandmates and booking agents alike. When we contacted local bookers NorseKorea regarding possible leads to our missing persons story, their only response...

"A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don’t need...
We all want nice legs, don’t let ‘em fool you, this includes men. However, they’re one of the hardest muscles to see gains when you’re exercising. I’m not sure if this is because we use them so much already that adding to that daily workload with weights doesn’t affect the muscle as quickly as say biceps or pecs, but regardless of the reason, the growth takes...
