The Guitar Center Drum Off is awesome, and reminds of how little talent I possess in all things music. I own a drum kit, and I play it quite a bit, but I’m not a drummer…and thanks to this kid, I’m reminded that I’ll never actually be able to call myself one. I don’t think this is the greatest solo I’ve ever witnessed from the Drum Off…wait…maybe it is. It’s mind-blowing no matter what…

Imagine working for a place that would actually spend the money on an off-the-wall effort like this. Who knows if Puma got anything extra out of the people showing up to their viewing party, but I love the idea…especially the yellow cards as promotions. Such a non-threatening, fun way to engage with people on the street.

I remember how excited I was when AC Milan signed Ronaldinho. He wasn’t really playing all that well when they picked him up, but if the performance of most of the aging stars in the Milan camp over the years provided any hint you had to assume he’d find his form again. After watching him his highlights from this past weekend, I must say it looks like he’s back! He’s always been capable of a few highlight reel moves, but he’s finally playing highlight reel games now.

The one good thing about the NFL season coming to a close is the ability to focus on the other teams that I love following!

…starring Willis McGahee and Hiram Eugene.

Willis’ stiff arm is a well-known part of his game, but the one he threw during his 77-yard TD run against the Raiders was a thing of beauty. I actually feel bad for Hiram Eugene, as his team is going to be making some serious jokes about that play when they study the game film.

Go Ravens!
