One on One Sports Talk with Vic 'The Brick' Jacobs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 15:45:00 +0000

Hey sports fans.

I was lucky enough to catch a special one-on-one interview with Sports Radio Icon, Vic "The Brick" Jacobs. Being that he's a huge west coast sports fan, we discussed topics from Dodgers, to the World Series, Lakers vs Clippers, the Kings, to the recent domestic violence issues going on in sports today. Take a look!

2014 NFL Predictions Are In!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 03:31:00 +0000

Okay... I'm a week late, due to a hectic work week, but nevertheless my 2014-15 NFL Division picks are IN!!!!

I've never made picks at the beginning of season before, but I'm feeling pretty confident with my selections...

Here we go!!!!

AFC North

I'm going with the Bengals out of the AFC north. I'm not impressed with the Steelers as of yet, and I don't feel that the Ravens will be able to bounce back especially after much of the negative attention shined on the team. And the Browns.... well even after all the "Manziel-Hoyer" hype, they will still need a miracle. I'm going Bengals 9-7

NFC North

One of the toughest and arguably the best division in the NFL is the NFC North. All filled with powerhouse players and rivalries, is sure to be a hard division to bet on. However I have an inkling thats pushing me towards the Detroit Lions. I don't see Chicago leading the pack missing a strong defense, nor Minnesota still learning their QB situation. The closest I could see would be Green Bay, who would grab Wild Card, but I've got my money on Lions this year.

AFC East

Unfortunately this isn't my favorite pick of season, but it just wouldn't be right to bet against Brady Bunch, and the New England Patriots. As tough as it is for me to say this, the Patriots are a powerhouse team with one of the best quarterbacks in the league today. I cant imagine the playoffs without the Patriots, although I wish I could. Rex Ryan and the Jets have built up a team this offseason but I think it will take a little more than a couple months to get the team to mesh well. The bills have a lot to prove this year and will probably do just so. I see them possibly making Wild Card!

NFC East

Aaaaaah... This is probably the easiest of them all. (With the AFC West shortly behind). I am making this pick without any biased influence. But with the lack of defense, and an error prone Quarterback, I don't see the Cowboys making it to the playoffs this season.... or any of the next 12 upcoming seasons. With both the Giants and Redskins QB's under a lot of pressure from their dissapointing seasons last year, I don't see either team bouncing back just yet. That leaves the Philadelphia Eagles. I am a firm believer in Chip Kelly's offense and the acquisition of Darren Sproles behind McCoy. It will be interesting to see how the team unfolds throughout the season. I just hope their defense can match their offense.

AFC South

Probably the only division I have truly been unsure about. Two of the worst records in the NFL belonged to the AFC South last season, and although I don't see a repeat of last season, I don't envision playoffs in their future either. For this reason, I see the Indianapolis Colts taking the division for the 2nd year. I, however, do see the Texans being a Wild Card this year, with their tough defense.

NFC South

This Division comes in very close second as one of the hardest divisions to choose. All with something to prove this season, I'm going to make this short and sweet. New Orleans Saints going 9-7 *inserts hiding emoji here*

AFC West

On to the best side... thats the West side! The AFC West. Although I have been a resident, and have been adopted by the city of San Diego, I would love to pick them for the division but my gut is telling me the Denver Broncos are coming back and with a vengeance. A few months prior, I would have bet the Chiefs over the Broncos, however with the loss of multiple players from Kansas City's defense, I don't see them holding on long on top of this division. Denver 11-5.

NFC West

Definitely an up and coming if not, already HERE division, I see an extremely tough divisional fight. Before the loss of Sam Bradford, I would have considered the Rams to be a tough contender this year with their strong defense. The surprise of the Cardinals towards the end of the 2013 season had many in shock and betting on Arizona this season. But I see the same layout as last year. Seattle is the team to beat. With all of the weapons the Seahawks have, its almost impossible to not see them in the playoffs. However, I possibly see the 49ers grabbing that Wild Card spot again.

I'm anxious to see how this season unfolds and what teams surprise us and which ones... well.... you know. Let me know your picks and what you think!

SuperBowl XLIX

Denver vs. Green Bay

Yikes!

Twerk Team.... Literally

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 06:02:00 +0000

I stumbled across probably one of the best team videos in College football history. My video of the week goes to the Missouri Tigers offensive line, and their pre-workout "Team Twerk". Not only were the players getting their "twerk" on, but catch the coaches in the back getting in on the action.

Sidenote.... #67 does his twerk quite well!

NFL Preaseason Week 1 Recap

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 00:53:00 +0000

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

My favorite time of year is amongst us, and I couldn't be more excited. After almost 6 months of anticipation, August 6th marked the start of preseason where teams evaluate their players potentials throughout training camp on the game-speed playing field.

There was much noise behind lots of teams and players, especially with the acquisition of many, "news worthy" players.

Let's start with one of the biggest headlines in football this offseason

Johnny Football

Much of the rave this offseason came from the 22nd pick of the 2014 NFL Draft who made more headlines with his off-field behavior than what he had to bring to the table on the field. Johnny Manziel surprised many critics with his performance against the Detroit Lions, coming in as the 3rd QB making 7 of 11 completions, 27 rushing yards, and no turnovers. Considering Manziel was playing behind backup blockers, many argue he played a "decent" game in comparison to his QB positional battle-mate, Brian Hoyer, who is coming off of a knee surgery last season.

Although Hoyer threw for more yards, we clearly got to see Manziel's athleticism in a 16 yard scramble which converted into a field goal. We'll watch the two duke it out next week against the Redskins.

Michael Sam

As the first openly gay player in the National Football League, many were anxious to watch the debut of the Defensive End, Michael Sam. Debuting during the 2nd series of the game, Sam made an immediate impact pressuring the Saints Quarterback on his first play, and later recording a Quarterback hit. Sam completed his first NFL career game with 1 tackle, and 1 QB hit.

Being a 7th round draft pick, Sam is playing for a job. We'll see how he competes next week against the Packers.

Jadaveon Clowney

Coming off of hernia surgery 2months prior, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, showed no signs of weakness during the 32-0 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. But don't let the score fool you. Jadaveon Clowney showed strength and athleticism along side with J.J. Watt playing outside linebacker, living up to the hype and anticipation of a first rounder pick. Clowney played well against the run, diagnosting plays, and driving to the ball.

We'll catch this Texans defense next week against the Falcons.

Honorable Mentions....

Michael Vick

Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks? No pun intended. Michael Vick continued to display his explosiveness on the field and his athleticism in the QB position with a 14-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown against the Colts. Not to mention his 15-yard run which impressed all Vick critics. Although Vick is the veteran of the two, his QB battle counterpart, Geno Smith is currently listed as the No. 1 QB on the depth chart, and was noted and not impressive nor terrible against the Colts. Smith attempted six passes, completing four passes for 33 yards, compared to Vick's 3 of 6 passes, totaling 17 yards. We'll continue to watch the Jets QB duo next week against the Bengals.

Denver Broncos

With much to prove after one of the worst Super Bowl losses in history, the Denver Broncos had much to prove in their first preseason victory against the reigning Super Bowl Champs, the Seattle Seahawks. Ending Seattle's 9 game win streak, Manning completed 10 of 13 passes for 78 yards in the 21-16 win. Denver overall looked like a more complete team compared to February's 43-8 embarrassment. The first string teams hogged almost the entire first half of playing time with back to back drives taking up a combined total of 18+ minutes. Next week Denver will match up with 49ers, and the Seahawks will meet with the Bears.

Although this is only the first week, many players and teams have much to prove before August 31st to make the 53-man roster. How'd your team do? And who surprised you Week 1?

Your Host With the Most!

Flat Abs and Fat A...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:06:00 +0000

Excuse my french... but this is really my goal!!

I'm always sick of hearing everyone saying they're trying to get "sexy for the summer" then see them post a big fat juicy burger and a milkshake. Where is the disciple people?!?!?

I have decided to really set myself to a 30-day challenge to live a healthier life. Why is this such a big deal you ask? Well, I am probably the most unhealthiest being on the planet. I like everything fried and dipped in chocolate, please and thank you. So i've set out to do 30 days of healthy exercising, and healthier food options. Now I LOVE my food, so I've decide to cut back on fried food *deep sigh* and burgers for a month. *deeper sigh*

Aside from my food changes, I've decided to focus my time on abs, legs, and my derriere. *wink wink*

Now let me clear something up briefly. I am not doing this to offend anybody. Yes, I am very petite, but my main goal is to focus on disciple, toning up my body, and living a healthier lifestyle; not to lose weight.

With that being said.... Check out some of these 30-day challenges and join in with me! Share your photos, tips, progress reports with me!

#TeamFlatAbs&Fat@$$! YEAH!

Oh yeah... and check out this sexy little thangs buttock exercises. She motivated me after the initial 5 seconds of starting the video! MAN O MAN!

SuperBowl Kickoff featuring Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 04:11:00 +0000

Hey guys! As many of you know, I am a HUGE football fan, and I'm super anxious for Super Bowl XLVII! The two teams I anticipated making the Superbowl last year, (in which both teams lost their conference championship), are now both heading to the big game Sunday, February 3rd.

Myself and two friends, Brittani and Stephanie, linked up to do a girl's sports chit-chat on the upcoming game, get our picks for the bowl, as well as chatted it up with Ravens linebacker, Brendon Ayanbadejo!!!

Take a look! Leave a comment. And tell me YOUR picks for the game!!!

The Superbowl Party... Perfected!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:07:00 +0000

This ones for my ladies...

Wanna throw the perfect SuperBowl party for your #1 man and his guys, but don't know where to start?!?

Dont worry. I've got you! ;)

I am going to give you the best way to throw the perfect SuperBowl party FOR HIM, without breaking the bank... or your back! *ouch*

Superbowl THE most watched television broadcast of the year,(yes... bigger than the American Idol finale) and is the second largest day for food consumption in the US following Thanksgiving Day. So we've got to start off with FOOD!

-MEN EAT WITH THEIR HANDS!!!

Dont expect your guy to want a fruit salad, and cheese and crackers. Get the party started off right with game time goodies. Pizza, Hot Wings, 7 layer bean dip (my game time specialty), BBQ, Sliders, Nachos, Sub Sandwiches...

Many restaurants will take ToGo orders for your gathering's needs. Make sure you call at least 2-3 days in advance to make sure they can accommodate your order!

Do NOT prepare something that will keep you slaving in the kitchen all day. You need to enjoy yourself too!

Guys want something quick and easy to eat. Whatever they can indulge in that wont require them to take their eyes off of the TV is best. Just remember.... NO FORKS, HANDS ONLY!

***Rule of Thumb: Buy three times the amount of food and alcohol you need. (you'll thank me later...)

-GET YOUR DRINK ON!

The grabbing a couple of 12 pack cans of sodas, and water will be great. Guys are simple. You can never go wrong with bottled beers. It eliminates mess, and makes clean up a breeze. Keep the beers icey cold, and the guys will love you FOREVER!

OH... and guys love shots... Make sure you pick up a bottle or two (or three depending on how large your gathering is) of your mans favorite Whiskey or Tequila.

-KEEP THE DECOR AT A MINIUM

Now I KNOW us ladies like to get extremely festive for events and gatherings and become decorations Nazi's. Dont. Keep it simple. Yes, the football field table cloths are fine. Maybe a banner or two. And make sure to remember to KEEP WITH THE TEAM COLOR SCHEME!!! Know who's playing before hand so you can properly prepare for the right team! But NOTHING that will distract from what is going on during the game. Think about it... Guys always fail to notice the minor details anyway. So skip them! As long as there is plenty of food, drinks, and space to jump up and yell at the TV, you've done a great job already!

-SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP

Not literally ladies. BUT, you will need space for the guys to rest their bottoms, so make sure you have AMPLE seating for all of your guests. Guys aren't huge fans of sitting shoulder to shoulder with one another. So you want to make sure they all have room to high five, chest bump, and all of the other crazy things guys do.

-THE BOOB TUBE

The TV of course! Make sure you use the largest TV in the house! I even recommend using a projector if you have access to it. Its hard to see what player scored on your 19" box TV. If you can, use more than ONE TV in the common room. Guys want to feel as if they're watching the game in a THEATER with all their buddies! I mean, we'd like to watch our reality TV shows the same way, right?

-GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS!

Make it fun! Guys like competition! Make a betting pool prior to kickoff! Get some scratch paper and pens. Have everyone write down their final score predictions, and bet $1, $5, $20, whatever! And whoever is closest to the final score takes home the money! Makes the game more interesting!

... and FINALLY ladies... Keep the talking to a minimum. Let the boys be boys! No one wants 21 questions while watching the biggest sports game of the year. If you're confused on whats going on, refer to my Superbowl Kickoff video, so you can know whats going on!

Enjoy! :)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 03:08:00 +0000

The first time in my entire life, I've ever decided to blog. Not that I don't believe anyone would be interested in reading (who WOULDN'T be?) but that I didn't have a secure TOPIC I wanted to blog about. I've been planning on beginning this new hobby for about 3 years running... and its finally happened! YES!

So as I'm sitting here, my goal is to build my "brand." What is my brand you ask? Well its what defines this blog. What my passion is. What can you come to this blog for, and know exactly what you're getting into.

The answer to that question is..... I don't know.

I've always been told by many friends and family members that they live "vicariously through me"... Ever since I was young, I've enjoyed traveling. I enjoy seeing and experiencing new things that many people have never once done in their lifetime.

With the brilliant development of social media, and realizing how many people were actually interested in my vacations, new and unfound local dining spots, must try's, bucket list adventures, so-on and so-on, I've decided to share my spontaneous fun, with you all!

I vow to weekly update this blog with fun content. And I'd LOVE your input on what you'd like to see me do!

Hope to keep you all interested... and again... Welcome.

:)

Do you agree with Mark Cuban's view on Brittney Griner?
	Absolutely!
	Maybe...
	Not a chance!
