Now if only we could get Will Smith some cred with the other rappers. Frankly, I don't care what other MCs think, Big Willie Style is a fashion that's never out of season. But I'm getting away from the primary focus of this post: Mr. Inconsistent himself, Iggy.How are you fair reader, on this rainy Monday? I myself, am superb, despite procrastinating on a great number of errands to write about a great Sunday in the Cheesesteak Capital of the World. Phillies, down 4-3 heading into the ninth inning, win on a walk-off 2-run dinger courtesy of Raul Ibanez. Ryan Howard decides to flash some leather, giving Phillie fans everywhere a glimpse of how good this guy can be if he continues to improve his defense. Flyers get the victory in the first "must win" situation of the series, and Claude "Who?" Giroux continues to make his case for most exciting Flyer to watch. This series could get really, really good if the Fly-guys can get take care of business tomorrow night. And the Birds traded for and signed Jason Peters this weekend, giving their O-Line the last piece it needed heading into the 2009 season. (Now if we could just get Sheldon Brown to stop crying about his contract...) And then, to cap the weekend, the 18 people who watched the Sixers erase an 18-point deficit, were gettin Iggy with it on Sunday Night.
Andre Iguodala is so inconsistent. One game he's shutting down the opponents biggest offensive threat, the next, he's turning the rock over 7 times.
Yesterday, the man missed 2 huge free throws, got bailed out by Donyell Ludacris Marshall's 3-pointer, then hit the game winning fadeaway jumper with 2.2 seconds left over Hedo Turkoglu, who was defending him really well. I'm still unsure of what to think. Obviously I was thrilled when it happened, but after the dust settled I still think they're outmatched in this series. That said, I plan on going to a playoff game because they need someone in the crowd don't they?! And tickets are cheap, so if you're reading this and are free Friday night, I'll snag you a ticket as well. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt after what Tony DiLeo showed me with his incredible game plan last night. (Letting Dwight get his, but completely neutralizing Turk and Rashard) It's a fresh season to me, and hey, if Iggy continues to be the closer that he is and the Sixers are still in it late games, who knows what can happen. Getting back off subject, "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" is a guilty pleasure of mine. If I'm being completely honest with myself, I really like a good deal of his stuff. It's pretty catchy. Everything from "Miami" to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air's opening theme. ("Iiiiiiiiin West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days....") My buddy's Mom used to get really mad at him for putting down Will Smith's rhymes. She always used to go off about how he didn't like Will just because he didn't curse like all the other hip-hop favorites. This was certainly true, because a few years later, the masses loved it when Eminem would reference Big Willie's clean mouth in a memorable part of one of his biggest singles. Granted Eminem is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, but that's not to say he didn't take some cheap shots at class-acts like Will Smith and Christina Aguilera. Yea, you're right, the classy part only applies to the former.
Alright, let me start wrapping this up....but first,
A few Monday sidenotes:
Texting non-verizon people is a frustrating procedure, because if i go over the alotted 160 text-figures, the end of the message gets totally cut off rather than getting distributed in 2 texts......Scotty Yesner switching from Verizon to whatever Satan-network he's on now was especially devastating to my phone morale, and I don't think he fully understands the damage he did to me through this heartless gesture......speaking of the bff, why is he in my phone as Scottie with an "ie" but any other time I write it out it's Scotty with a "y"?.........i don't think people should sing loudly in public when they're not talented vocalists, but I'm going to give a pass to the girl who is belting lyrics as I type this because she's singing a praise song, and people who are openly pro-Jesus always make me happy......I think that I'm going to make a line of umbrella's that are impervious to wind damage and sell them infomercial-style, then use the millions I generate to establish a career out of my haphazard writing style. Seriously, I just don't get why we haven't come up with an umbrella-ella-aay-aay that really works in stormy conditions. Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest, if this blog isn't a fantastic example of that, I don't know what is......
The morals of this blog post:
-Will Smith is a better MC than he gets credit for, and he has some catchy stuff.
-Andre Iguodala is an inconsistent player who should have the catch phrase "gettin iggy wit it" when he's hitting a good stretch of play
-The author of this blog continually will post his thoughts about the randomest aspects of life in a relatively unorganized fashion
-Big Willie Style = Always in fashion
-Will Smith > Andre Iguodala
Gettin Iggy Wit It na na na na na-na na, na na na na na-na.....
