The following scene comes from season 4 of the Wire when they shifted from tackling the war on drugs to focusing on politics and the education system. It features Dennis "Cutty" Wise, reformed muscle for the local drug trade, jogging through the streets of Baltimore(to a sweet jam) and witnessing the events of that day's local election.

Monta Could Ask For Release
Sports Writer for the SJ Mercury News Tim Kawakami usually has a good read on the internal happenings of Warriors management and players. I just hope he's wrong about Ellis in This Blog Post.
If Warriors new President Robert Rowell flexes his muscles and tries to void Ellis' contract if and when he comes back simply because Rowell doesn't think Monta is playing like the $60 Million Man they signed, the Dubs would be digging themselves a huge hole for many years. If this happened, why would any major free agent ever want to come to Tha City and play at rOaracle with management like this? And where is GM Chris Mullin in all of this?

Nextians Book Club, Installment 1
Installment #1 in the Nextians Book Club comes to us from author Trey Hamburger. Trey brings us a true story of his recent struggles with ghosts/aliens stemming from a floating Hot Pocket incident his friend Derek had. It's a magical tale much like the one of his cousin Robert Hamburger who released the controversial "Real Ultimate Power" adventures detailing the feats of ninjas and rhinos some four years ago.
Please read the recent press release by Trey and enjoy his masterpiece. Available on Amazon.
Dear amigos and amigas,
I have discovered some major shit.
And it has something to do with Ghosts/Aliens. Now wait, before you start scoffing, think about it for a second. There has got to be some shit out there that nobody can explain. And I’m not talking about the two guys who went looking for UFOs, discover a pick-up truck FULL of Mexicans, and ended up getting into a huge fight. I’m talking about REAL Paranormal Activity.
Maybe you never realized you were searching for something like that, but consider this: What about the time you heard some dude moan and there were no moaning dudes around? Or what about the time you were at a stop light, and you saw this owl just sitting there, and it mouthed your name.
At this point you might be asking why someone like myself has suddenly acquired an intellectual curiosity after a lifelong passion for non-intellectual endeavors, like jerking my gherkin. Well, listen to this. Me and Mike Stevens have interfaced with a dude who might be from another dimension, or India. And if that doesn’t convince you, Derek Wood is willing to give personal testimony that he has witnessed a TELEPORTING HOT POCKET.
I have collected my studies over the past week titled GHOSTS/ALIENS so you guys will have proof of what I’m talking about. (I’m not a dude who just says stuff. Trust me, if I were making this shit up, I would be saying it was 10 Hot Pockets Floating, NOT ONE.) If you want to help out, then check out http://www.ghostsaliens.net/ for combat tips and end-times notices. Also, if you have a buddy that might be interested in this type of thing, make sure to tell them too.
Thank you and farewell,
Trey Hamburger, amateur scientist/pressure-point expert “cousin” of Robert Hamburger email: realultimatepower@hotmail.com
P.S. If you don’t hear from me again, I’m probably stuck in a trans-dimensional cheese web.

Iverson for Billups
As you all have hopefully heard by now as serious SportsCenter and NBA addicts, The Nuggets traded Allen Iverson (White Chocolate) to Detroit for Chauncy Billups (Jerk Store), Antonio McDyess (available on waivers!), and some loser. With Iverson's contract being over at the end of this year, Dumars is setting his position up nicely for "The Summer Of Lebron" where at the conclusion of the 2010 season the following ballaz will be free agents:
Maybe this decision is personal since I wouldn't put a pair of Weeboks on my feet to play basketball if my adult league title depended on it. But I think it is obvious choice here are the Chauncey Adidas. Score tied: 1-1.
Meanwhile, AI has been arrested many times. He beats people up, has been involved in drug deals, and makes rap albums that he can't release because they are too raunchy (check out the song "40 Bars" by "Jewels" on the link):
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Redd
Meanwhile, the Nuggets are getting the wiley veteran Chancey Billups who can figure out how to pass the ball to Melo (Monta's Moped) and JR Smith (Raping Indy) more often. Cha-Ching!
So who is the winner in this trade? You may have an opinion but it's actually impossible to tell based based on normal things like "stats", "leadership" and "contracts". But if you break it down into more important factors, a clear winner is decided.
Category 1: Who is More Popular?
This is tough question for Nextians to answer as we all know AI and CB equally as well. Heck, I know that at least 4 of us have AI's rookie card, mint condition. But if you look at it based on what common folks think (aka "losers), you learn that Allen Iverson has had the 3rd best selling jersey of the last 10 years. Billups doesn't even crack the top 10. And being that jersey sales are a clear indication of popularity, AI gets the point in category #1.
Category 2: Who has the Best Shoes?
Both of these all-league PG's have had their own shoe for some time now. Albeit, AI has had "Tha Iversons" by Reebok since his rookie season while Billups has only been on Adidas for a few years now. But let's take a look at their recent models
AI's:
Billups':

Billups is a pretty normal dude. I couldn't find anything "crazy" in his past other than being a perfect gentleman and a championship ring owner. After going through 184 pages of Google Images the "worst" picture I could find of CB was this one of him looking happy in the NBA finals:
Meanwhile, AI has been arrested many times. He beats people up, has been involved in drug deals, and makes rap albums that he can't release because they are too raunchy (check out the song "40 Bars" by "Jewels" on the link):
The all important Crazy Points go to AI. Our winner is Allen Iverson of the new and improved Detroit Pistons!
What this amazing analysis shows us is that Detroit will come out much further ahead than Denver when this thing is all said and done. The evidence is undisputable. Congratulations to Joe Dumars and the city of Motown.

Nextians of Halloween
It was great to see so many Nextians out on All Hallows Eve. Had (Jerk Store) caught me (Cammish) on Vallejo Street walking the dog while wearing half of my douchebag costume. I then moved on to Nextian Anthony Rossi's pad (Pablo's Co-Manager of 5 Brothers) for a light beer centric pre-party. Pablo "Escobar" Fitting was representing his hometown of Medallion, Columbia:
Toomy (Strange Range) was crushing beer cans and shooting them into the recycling bin all night long:
Matt (Quality Shots) and I (Defending We Got Next! Runner Up) were in full effect in our My New Haircut attire. Matt represented the "Jaegah Bombs" sceen while I was all over the "Yeah I grunt when I get my swool on at the gym" outfit.
Tommy (Nudie Mag) and Cam (Monta's Moped) decided to be the same douchbag with MuscleMilk, night time sunglasses and tanner. We just wanted to show everyone how jacked and tan we were.

Anyone else have some solid pictures of themselves from Halloween? Let's see 'em.

Scott Pollard, NBA Champion
Classy. Tastefully done, Mr. Scott "Super Alternative Guy" Pollard:
Well, in case you didn't know, Scott Pollard is #1. And he had a custom made ring to proove it.
And while sitting on the bench during the Celtics 1st game, Craig Sager Crazy Suit Sideline Reporter had the honor to sit next to Scott Classy and get a close up on the ring. By the way, what the fcuk is up with Sager's thumbnail? (thanks to Basketbawful for everything in this post):

Drunk Athletes!!
Nice Cameron, I haven't looked at this site in months and had almost forgotten about it. Here's one of the Warriors's's's newly appointed point guard, Captain Jack. Check out Monta looking up to him like he's a high school freshman watching the seniors. Then there's Aleshia Keys in the background yelling ghetto words at some fool to take a picture or her and Nelly.
