"Air Jordan 7 'Charcoal' first look"

 So it seems Nike or should I say Jordan Brand, has renamed an original that they are trying to re-sale to the masses again. Wait I get it; they're tyring to re-sale us the ones from '02 that were closer to the original but were labeled too dark. No wait, they are trying to make up for the pair from '09 that came in that disgusting 'DMP' with those blue/white "Orlando" 7's. Dear Jordan Brand, if you're going to bring a classic back, don't ruin it.

"Complex: How ESPN Lost Its Way"

Complex does share some pretty strong view points (how ESPN lost its way) in this article that I think are very valid. I'm going to highlight them for our readers.

9th: Brett Favre & Tim Tebow - " Brett Favre is an egomaniac (like, duh). He feigns retirement like a narcissist faking his own death. He wants to attend his own funeral, revel in the eulogy, and ESPN is more than willing to pay for the memorial and comfort the grieving family. SportsNation once mentioned Brett Favre's name over 200 times in a single broadcast (for those of you doing the math, that's roughly one mention per fifteen seconds of air time). Rachel Nichols has become a permanent fixture on Favre's front lawn and Ed Werder's pathetic life mission has apparently been reduced to rifling clearance racks at the Men's Warehouse and shoving a microphone in front of the 11-time Pro Bowler's face. Favre's legacy has been tarnished by the overexposure (quite literally) when he allegedly sent a couple of awkward weiner pics to a Jets staffer three years ago.
If Favre is a cautionary tale in destroying a legacy, then Tim Tebow is an acid trip in creating one."

7th: Four Months of NFL Draft Hype -"ESPN's draft coverage (which starts about three hours after the Super Bowl) is where the network hits rock bottom."

1st: The Decision - "The Decision was a microcosm of all that’s wrong with ESPN, creating a spectacle out of nothing and turning news into cash."

"Brand Spotlight: Kreemo"

"Space exploration"

"Hawthorne, CA – Today, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon spacecraft to orbit in an exciting start to the mission that will make SpaceX the first commercial company in history to attempt to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station — something only a handful of governments have ever accomplished." - spacex.com.

 This could be a huge step not only for Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) but for America. If we can put our own supplies and men (also women) on a space station from a shuttle; we can do just about anything!

"Jay - Z says Jay Electronica's album is almost done"

In a sit down with MTV, Jay - Z told a reporter that Jay Electronica's (Act II Patents Of Nobility) album is almost done. "I love that, I want to support that sort of energy. I want people to be creative and not traditional, not just a single at this time, this time, and this time. You know, he operates at his own time, but the album is really close. It's exactly what it should be — it's amazing. Him as a lyricist is almost scary. He's scary good. I'm doing something to it that's really untraditional, so we'll see how it works."

"Steady Mobbin"

 Assumed Philadelphia 'Mob Boss' Joe (Joseph) Ligambi has additional charges of a No-Show job, through Top Job Disposal (a garbage company in Philly) and Defrauding, added to an already steep RICO indictment placed on him by the N.J.S.C.I. The indictment also includes: Loan - Sharking, Extortion, Bookmaking, and the illegal distribution of Video Poker Machines. The N.J.S.C.I. alleges, that Mr. Ligambi made about $1,000 per week, between 2003 and 2009. And also, $224,000 in medical benefits for him and his family. (not bad, not bad) Anyways there are other assumed mobsters tied into the case including; Joseph "Scoops" Licata & "Big Lou" Fazzini (both being held without bail) not to mention, Nicky Scarfo Jr. (father, "Little" Nicky Scarfo) who was allegedly initiated through the Lucchese Crime family; during the Racketeering run; and was told to back off by Mr. Ligambi and Anthony Staino (another assumed mob member), when things started getting tense. A trial date; September 4th, is set for the 'mobsters' although sources say that the date could be pushed back depending on if the gentleman's lawyers ask such a request. We'll keep you posted, until then keep it gangsta *Fab's voice* #Two more indicted in case against Ligambi, Mob Scene
