If you’re like me and have to sit through soul crushing traffic every morning and every evening then you know the need for anything to keep your mind off the logjam. Personally, I like to blast rap as loud as possible as early as possible, introducing #RushHourRap. What better way to kick it off than with the Eminem classic “My Name Is”
Especially if anyones recently watched the HBO doc “The Defiant Ones” about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, where Dre explains how this track was created almost instantly after walking into the studio with Em. MUST watch for any music fan.
In this very special edition of The 300s Podcast we breakdown all the Houses, characters, and plot lines of Westeros as Game of Thrones is FINALLY back.
So I know I’m new to the 300 (Less than 24 hours) but I like to think although this site is 99.9% sports, it is also a celebration of fandom in general. And nothing screams fandom like the internet geeking out at HBO’s guerilla marketing tactics of sending some motherfucking White Walkers out to promote the new season of GOT that is FOUR days away.
Imagine going about your day as an Englishman/woman. Sipping some tea. Wearing a perfectly cut suit. Calling things that are good “brilliant”. Riding a subway system riddled with double entendres like “Shepherd’s Bush”. Then all of a sudden you look up and the Night King himself and a few of his undead commandos are sauntering toward you. Imagine that mixture of utter terror and unbridled excitement. OMG OMG OMG BEFORE YOU BRUTALLY DISEMBOWEL ME INTO A ZOMBIE CAN I GET A SELFIE FOR INSTA(I imagine American and English basics talk the same way)? Unreal man.
PFT – So how much will former Jets and Bills coach Rex Ryan make over the next three years as an employee of ESPN? Probably not a dime. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Ryan’s contract with the Bills has offset language that applies not only to other coaching jobs but also to broadcasting jobs. Thus, with $5.5 million due to Ryan for each of the next three years, the biggest winners in light of Ryan’s employment at ESPN are owners Terry and Kim Pegula, who will be getting credit for every dollar Ryan earns at ESPN, up to $5.5 million per year.
Well that’s not entirely true. He’s not working for free, but because of a clause in his contract that covers broadcasting jobs as well as other coaching jobs, any money he gets paid over the next couple of years will split the difference with what the Bills owe him.
How about the Pagula’s with the big brain thinking? “Yea, if we shit can you we are 100% more worried about having to still pay you to bullshit on Sunday NFL Countdown than actually landing another coaching job.” Good for Rex though, either way the guy gets paid $5.5 million a year. As a head coach? Meh. As a guy with a mic in his face?
At least this way he can literally say whatever he wants. We gotta get back to the days of “Lets go eat a goddamn snack” Rex. This fat bastard was built to be a TV personality.
