If I couldn’t see it for myself I’d say that was the Nature Boy himself leading that huddle. I know there’s been a lot of Ric Flair imitations over the years (that Colts player from last year comes to mind) but this one by this little bro right here takes the cake as the best one I’ve seen.
This vid comes via the Browns Instagram account when a few Browns players attended the practice of a youth football team in Brooklyn last night. Pretty cool gesture after flying all the way across the country from San Diego. I flew from San Diego to Cleveland on Monday and I ended up sleeping for 14 straight hours so props to these guys for showing up and giving back to the community.
“YOUNGSTOWN, OH (WOIO) – Police near Youngstown were called to a house Friday by a man who complained he’d gotten too high smoking marijuana.
Austintown Township police found the 22-year-old balled up in a fetal position on the floor. According to the police report, he was groaning and surrounded by snacks like Doritos, Goldfish crackers and Chips Ahoy cookies.
He reportedly told officers he couldn’t feel his hands.
A glass jar of marijuana and paraphernalia was found in the man’s car, police said. So far has not been charged.”
“Yes, hello? 911? How much pot can you smoke before you die? Asking for a friend.”
Kids these days. Laying on the floor in the fetal position covered in gluttony is more or less how like 50% of my days on earth have ended. Sack up pal. I’d actually be thankful if I lost feeling in my hands because I wouldn’t be able to shovel any more calories into my suck hole. Chug some water, sleep it off and live to see another day. Or just call the cops on yourself or whatever.
Whoever wrote the police report here deserves some sort of award though. The picture they painted in my brain is nothing short of magnificent.
“Basketball is almost back, and 30 teams will soon embark on their own quest. It starts with Trainwreck star and occasional basketball player LeBron James and his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers — along with comedian Mike Epps — on “The Quest.”
“It’s awesome, man. The creative behind it makes sense for us,” says Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving. “It fits for what we’re trying to do.”
The players sport desert adventurer garb and gather at the top of the dune. Sadly, the players weren’t actually shuttled to Dubai to film. EW has an exclusive behind-the-scenes video that breaks down production on the video and features interviews with Epps and Irving.
“The Quest” will also feature the Los Angeles Clippers (Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Paul Pierce) with Billy Crystal and the Houston Rockets (James Harden, Dwight Howard) with D.J. Hughley, and the world champion Golden State Warriors.”
I don’t know what Black Doug from The Hangover is doing at the end there but other than that, this spot is flawless. LeBron with his compass, guiding the Cavs to Mr. Larry O’Brien. Kyrie with his staff, sticking it into the ground and stuff. And Kevin, longingly gazing at the trophy that has eluded him his whole career using a spyglass (full disclosure: I initially typed “telescope”) cause he has bad eyes or something. 30 seconds of poetry in motion.
I guess our celebrity companion could have been worse though. I want absolutely nothing to do with Billy Crystal after the Yankees got shut out at home last night, and if I’m not mistaken, D.J. Hughley isn’t a real person. Mike Epps exists, so we got that going for us.
Clutch of TNT to debut it during the NL Wild Card game tonight, too. The promise of 30 seconds of Kevin Love is more than enough ammo to convince my girlfriend to let me watch it.
