These streets will make you feel brand new...Bright lights and John Wall will inspire you...

Old lady winter has moved into Nor' easter' Kentucky, and that bitch has been upset with us, to say the least. Damn it is cold... But, the cold weather and the first falls of that heavenly powder only mean one thing...It's time to go Bowling...oh yeah, and if you had not heard, the CATS are BACK.


On the world's grandest stage, John Wall put his wares on display. In front of Sports and entertainment dignitaries at MSG, the legend grew a lil' bit larger.



Damn, i am serious when I say that I love that kid. There is nothing to say about John Wall that is not going to be or hasn't already been said. UCONN and that effin' bastard Calhoun are now part of the story of John Wall that we will be telling young children about for years to come. 30 years from now, park bench, s-curve, telling John Wall stories???That's me. Still with a head full of hair... What's better than losing your virginity in 6th grade? John Wall. And, Ev, Razor Ramon is giving us some good production in his time on the wood. He is a role player, and he knows his role. The rest of the EMPIRE understands this...You need to let go your transgressions towards Tubby and your self-battering that you are doing because you jumped on the He who we don't speak of's bandwagon prematurely and move forward with us. As a good man by the name of Fletch once told me(and everyone else who rented Fletch Lives)hindsight is 20/20, and that is a little unfair.

Since there are countless sites and blogs that cover the WALLCats, I wont go into great depth about the game or key plays( once more Butchie, Ramon's clutch rebound, and though he missed the end of a one and one, his one put us up 3 with 13 left), instead I am going to speak, albeit briefly, of the idiosyncriscies of the evening that was... Corner booth at Kahuna's, Blotch and myself were the more subdued of our foursome. Shelton had his wings, with some kind of girly sauce, and his girly pink shot...We save the Bourbon shots for the CATS. The usuall rebel-rousing and spantanous cheers where we proove that The County can indeed spell CATS correctly broke out in unison several times, but just like all the other games, there was steady calm all through the evening...Just as it was with Stanford, and UNC, I never feel the urgency to panic. I don't feel that a lead that any team can build on us has any long term merrit, they are building houses on sand if you will. These Cats thus far have taken everyone's best shots, the best game they have in them, and they all have fallen short. Their best just has not been good enough. Imagine how GOOD this team will be come January...Once they learn how to extend these leads and get a since of how dominant they are...Jeebus Christ they are going to obliterate people from start to finish. No worries here. You will never see a facebook status update of mine that says anything negative like you do SOME peoples. There is a difference in Negativity and Objective and Constructive Criticizsm... Missed Chavez at the table, the man brings alot of joy to my viewings of the CATS, if not just for the fact there is not a beverage the man can't drink..

Moving forward, Saturday we get Indiana and the striped warm up pants in Bloomington. Not exactly one the most endearing Catherdrals in the EMPIRE'S lore as far as productivity, but this is going to be an awesome smack to the mouth of Tom Creen and his thinly veiled Tweet-jabs (Twabs???) at Coach Cal and our way of life... Get ready Tommy, we are coming for you... Full-on frontal preview for that game on Friday for all my Idge-iots.

We are about a week away from the kick-off of the BOWL season. I am going to break the bowls down and give you doses and previews of all the match-ups, with the useless tid-bits that only the Idge can put on your plate and spoon feed you...Plane's coming to the Hangar...Open Wide...

Quick tid-bit factoid- Charlie Shelton claims that he wants to see Kentucky leave the SEC in football and become an Indy...That could be the stupidest pile of Vanderbilt I have ever heard. The SEC is what even has made us REMOTELY competitive in D1 Big Boy College Football... And, at times, that is our biggest recruiting tool... I think our recent Bastard Rugby success has gotten some in the Commonwealth getting ahead of themselves...slow down..bask in the glory as it is now...don't go re-inventing the wheel just yet fella's...Randy is gonna get us in the SEC Title game before it is all said and done...FSU is going to discover this coach in waiting bull shit is, well, shit...As will we I am afraid...Joker has two years in my opinion to keep winning, if he dips below what is our NEW status quo...they need to change...and quickly.. Put Steve Spurier on notice...pay the man the money...Not enough good golfing in the Bluegrass you say...Fuck sakes, have you not seen Neon Links at Kyova Mall??? The Ball Coach would love that shit...

I had mentioned that the CFL and NFL needed to merge into one SUPERLEAGUE...I still think this way...But, it has to be something that both sides are eased into....Give the CFL Buffalo,Detroit, and Howie Long and give the NFL their best Kicker...but that may be to unfair to the CFL....after a few seasons of this..then you introduce a few interleague pre-season games...In London of course...then, complete the merger with a SuperBowl featuring the CFL champion vs. NFL Champion... Gold Mine.



Get rid of Helmets in Football? A study making rounds about head injuries in football compared to a similiar sport, Aussie Football, are the basis they are using to get rid of the helmet...Well, it would have been more apt to compare Gridiron Football to Rugby, but the head injury tally is still much higher in Gridiron than Rugby..Who would have thought that? but, no matter how much evidence they have to support it, the Helmet stays...I mean hell, where would we put those awesome logos??? The Helmet makes the NFL too much money and is too much of a marketing tool for it to ever be discarded...

Fat Back Bowl Update- Is the last bastion of Hacksaw Jim Duggan tough as nails Frank Rigsby Smash Mouth Football getting soft??? There are rumors that organizers are considering a shorter palying field than traditionally used and to change to a two-hand touch/Flag/And extra Bandana's that EV could donate from his bevy of Tupac stylings to be used...Bowl Organizers promise it will not diminish the questionable athleticism of the game, and have branded it as 'TWO-HAND TOUGH' Football...

Fuck sakes I tried to watch Wrestling for the first time in what seems years the other night and I could not do it...That shit is terrible. But, I have found some hidden Gems on the net to quinch my thirst for current wrestling...Grading scale??? Stay as far away from the WWE as you can, watch bits and peices of TNA if you must...If you get HD NET, watch ROH alot..it is really good..and Check the net for NWA Pro and NWA Charlotte...other than that..do what I do...lie about liking wrestling and watch all the Nikita Koloff you are able to as a human being on You Tube... Oh hell...I sense a video coming on ..... See ya next time..Idgiots...
