E’s song of the day

Dawn: when men of reason go to bed.

                      – Ambrose Bierce

Good morning out there readers/listeners!  I have a little bit of a break on the grind, and I thought I might hit you off with a tasty jam nice and early so that, when you wake up, you’ll have a tune to start your morning right.  This song is one I often use as a nice calming way to initroduce myself to the morning.  Of course, working nights recently, I haven’t had a lot of interaction with the morning, other than racing the sun home when I get off at 5.  I’ve already played my favorite morning jam (Great Lake Swimmers – Your Rocky Spine) for you in a previous segment of this series, but this jam is literally the next one on that same “wake-up” playlist.  I suppose this also might fall under the category of “groups you may not have heard of.”  From the third solo album of Animal Collective member Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) comes this delightful opening track.  The album, Person Pitch, was voted by a couple of reputable online music sites as the best of 2007.  I’m not well-researched enough to definitively co-sign on that vote, but I will say that I’ve had the album for a little over a year now and it still gets some decent playtime on the ol’ i-pod now and then.  Today’s jam: Panda Bear – Comfy in Nautica.   Enjoy your morning….

E’s song of the day

July 9, 2009

I have another late work evening ahead of me tonight, so I’ll be quick about hitting you with a hot jam (or two) to get your evening started right.  I’ve had this song in my head on and off for the last few weeks and I finally realized that I had actually had TWO songs in my head getting jumbled around.  lucky for you, I will split them up but give you your proper taste of both.  One is a lesser known hip-hop track from the mid-nineties, the other a radio hit from two big stars of the industry.  We;ll go old school first.  jam one: Large Professor – Ijuswannachill.  Enjoy….

Second jam is a straight jacking of the first song along with the hook from a Tears For Fears jam, but with its own catchy, modern twist.  Jam two: Lloyd and Lil Wayne – You.  Enjoy….

You are looking a little too hard bro...

You are looking a little too hard bro...

You know that black men are about to become an endangered species if we don’t learn to keep our hands to ourselves…

Now, I know it’s not like that, but lets keep it that way.

Where are the jumpoffs like this?

How are you going to clown with the police?  It seems like I said earlier, it’s all about the DUI arrest that led to the spiral…

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reveals the depths of her despair

Thursday, July 09, 2009

NASHVILLE —- Former NFL star Steve McNair was shot dead in his sleep last week by a 20-year-old girlfriend distraught about mounting financial problems and her belief that he was seeing someone else, police said Wednesday.

Sahel Kazemi “was spinning out of control” when she shot McNair four times as he dozed on a sofa early Saturday, then turned the gun on herself, police Chief Ronal Serpas said.

Interviews with friends revealed that she was making payments on two cars, her rent was doubling and she suspected the married McNair was having a second affair with another woman.

She told a friend on Friday that “my life is a ball of s—- and I should end it,” Serpas said.

I don’t want anyone to kill themselves, but why take someone else with you?  That is a twisted sense of Romeo and Juliet to think about.

Now, you have to put some blame on McNair too, but not for the reasons you think.  Of course, if the guy just kept it in his pants and cherished his vows, then this would have never happened.  But, lets move beyond that.  Let’s assume that the affair happened.  How could Steve have avoided this fate?

First, don’t be a cheapass.  Stacks would have soothed everything over.  Even if you are cheating on you side piece you are cheating with on your wife, you just had to take care of things.  Fully pay for the Escalade would have been one less thing she would have to worry about.  That could have been the boiling point. MyCar.com explains

Extra-cost options can quickly drive the Escalade’s $54,725 base price (including an $875 destination charge) higher. Key among them is a Climate Package with heated and cooled front and rear seats as well as a heated steering wheel; an Information Package with a touch-screen navigation system, a reversing camera, and adaptive headlights; power fold-and-tumble second-row seats; a rear seat DVD entertainment center; and an oversized power sunroof. Our test truck had all of them: the $2,995 22-inch wheels, the $2,495 Information Package, the $1,295 rear DVD entertainment system, the $995 power sunroof, the $625 Climate Package, and the $425 power second-row fold-and-tumble seats. The sticker price for our sample Escalade with all-wheel-drive was $66,110.

Pay for it, you cheap bastard...
Your life has to be worth 66,000 dollars.
Two, don’t have side pieces.  I know I just said above about it being not about the fact that he had someone on the side, but in a way, it is.  You need to go the route of call girl.  Maybe if he watched more cartoons, he would have heard from Chef on South Park sing about what to do…
Three, don’t make promises your ass can’t cash.  You can’t play with people emotions.
Steve did and paid the price…

Hands like this dont come around often...but players like Verajao are a dime a dozen...

Hands like this don't come around often...but players like Verajao are a dime a dozen...

The poker movie “Rounders” is a great metaphor for life in the NBA.


You have to study your opponents moves, find a weakness and then exploit it.  Matt Damon plays a young, hotshot player, who hits bottom, only to climb back to the surface.  Preventing his rise is school, a best friend who is trouble and a girlfriend who doesn’t understand his passion with poker.

Being a NBA GM requires you have similar skills of a poker player, being able to read hands of your opponents, and feigning weakness, when you are really strong.  I thought that Danny Ferry would be a good poker player, based on some of the moves that he made, but ultimately his latest play has been a headscratcher.

While I am not going to grade the Ferry regime, this particular move is the one that left me truly wondering if I could read Ferry’s hand in a game of poker.  ESPN.com is reporting that Anderson Verajao is being retained for about fives times the winners stake at the Main Event of Poker.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have come to an agreement with free agent Anderson Varejao on a six-year deal, his agent Dan Fegan told ESPN.com.

Varejao’s contract is worth $42.5 million over the six years, and the final year is only partially guaranteed. Incentives could push the total amount to $50 million.

As a 30 something sports fan, I have clear memories of Danny Ferry as a college player and as a pro.  His career at Duke was a great one, as Wikipedia points out

He is among Duke’s greatest players of all time, ranking 5th in career points, fifth in career rebounds, and seventh in career assists—the only player in the top 10 in all three categories.

Ferry’s number 35 was retired in 1989 at the end of his senior season.[2] In 2002, Ferry was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men’s basketball team honoring the fifty greatest players in Atlantic Coast Conference history.

But, as an NBA player, he was a bust, even though he has played in the most games in Cleveland Cavaliers history.

Danny Ferry as a player gives us hints about Danny Ferry the GM. The game that is being played by Ricky Rubio now was Danny Ferry’s Player card at NBA.com provides this little nugget

Selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round (second pick overall) of the 1989 NBA Draft…Played in Italy in 1989-90…Draft rights traded by the Clippers with Reggie Williams to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Ron Harper, 1990 and 1992 first-round draft choices, and a 1991 second-round draft choice on 11/16/89

Now, the first lesson here is that Danny Ferry is not afraid to get his chips in the pot and gamble. At the time, I clearly remember thinking that Ferry was crazy for risking his dream of the NBA. One injury overseas and no one would want him.  But, his resolute stand got him traded to the Cavs and a very rich contract.

Fast forward twenty years.  You would hope that your Texas Hold-Em game would improve in that time.  But, the only conclusion that I can come up with is that he has regressed in two short years. Plain and simple, Ferry got schooled here.

WHO else was going to pay AV that kind of money in this market?   This just tells me that Dan Fegan is a grandmaster of poker.  He is the Phil Ivey of the agent game.  HoopsHype.com, lists the agents and their players.

Fegan won this game of no-limit poker.  In a market where the salary cap is going to be LOWER than last year, and you have the class of 2010 on the horizon, why would you spend excessive amounts of money now?

Danny, I know you are worried about LeBron.  If he is as fickle as to snatch up cameras because he got hammered on, you know he will leave CLE on a whim for his chase for the golden ticket.  For that, I can see why you might have panicked, but just continue to have the poker face, and never let then see you sweat.

See, this was a good move for Ferry in 2007.

After months of being unable to get a deal done with the Cavaliers, Varejao accepted a three-year, $17.4 million offer sheet from the Charlotte Bobcats late Monday, Varejao’s agent, Dan Fegan, said. The deal has an opt-out clause after two seasons, which is the key part of the deal. (Ohio.com)

You played hardball, and you resigned him at an affordable rate.  Now, Fegan deserves props too.  he used his old connections with Rod Higgins to get the Bobcats to offer the sheet in the first place.  Without the offer, Ferry holds all the cards.

This year is different, because AV used the parachute in his contract to void the final year, but Portland and Memphis are the only teams with cap space that will go above the MLE, without involving a sign and trade.

You might not hold the nuts, but you have a pretty good drawing hand.  Just like Matt Damon’s character Matt McDermott got his law professor to win a big hand with a busted straight draw, Danny Ferry could have gotten Dan Fegan to fold and accept a smaller, more reasonable deal.

I thought that GM’s and owners learned that the only players worth extending more than three or four years are bona fide superstars, or players with reasonable deals.  This is not one of them.

Danny Ferry is Teddy KGB.  Just because you won the first time, doesn’t mean that you have a read on that player.  Re-evaluate your options, then act…

E’s song of the day

July 8, 2009

Okay folks, now that I’ve basically exhausted my knowledge of country music there won’t be a return to that genre for some time, so all of you haters out there can relax and get back into the groove of things.  Today’s jam was on my mind as the next song in line just before I decided to compile my country countdown.  I then heard it on the radio TWICE over this last weekend – clearly a sign that it was meant for the blog.  I love this jam; the sax intro and interlude are well-known signature sections.  From former lead singer of Stealers Wheel (of “Stuck in the Middle with you” fame) comes this inspired classic rock jam.  Today’s song: Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street.  Enjoy….

While the answer can be both, the Steve McNair tragedy proves that pimping aint easy.  When you are trying to balance a business, a family man persona to the media and fans and pimp, something has to give.  Usually is it the family first, as happened in this situation.  The Associated Press is reporting that Mechelle McNair had zero clue that Steve was carrying on an affair behind her back.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An associate said Wednesday that the wife of ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair didn’t know about Sahel Kazemi before the 20-year-old woman was found dead alongside her husband on the Fourth of July.

McNair, 36, was shot four times in what the medical examiner has said is likely a murder-suicide, though police haven’t confirmed that Kazemi was responsible.

Mike Mu, who has worked with McNair’s charitable foundation for years, said Mechelle McNair “didn’t know who this girl is.”

Mechelle McNair, who has not spoken publicly since the shooting, has been described by people close to her as being very upset and distraught. Agent Bus Cook said McNair’s wife was “in and out” of it in the hours after the shooting.

Now, not to sound callous, but when done correctly, the spouse or supposed loved one is the last to know about these things.  To hide the affair had to be a lot of work and strain on Steve McNair.  History has to count of something and some of the reason behind the motive might have been that things were not progressing fast enough for Sahel Kazemi.

First, we have the initial reports that the gun was hers, purchased on Thursday, the same day that she was popped for DUI.  Second, we have a story in the Seattle Times that the facts all line up to a murder/suicide.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s state medical examiner said Tuesday that investigators have been hesitant to conclude Steve McNair’s girlfriend killed the former quarterback and herself because she didn’t appear to have a motive. But he added that murder-suicide is the most likely scenario.

After the couple was discovered shot to death Saturday, police were quick to label McNair’s death a homicide. McNair, 36, had been shot twice in the head and twice in the chest.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi was dead from a single gunshot to the head. Under her body was a gun police say she purchased Thursday.

Investigators were waiting on ballistics tests on the weapon before issuing a ruling on Kazemi’s death, which medical examiner Bruce Levy said could come in the next few days.

Kazemi’s gun purchase, revealed Monday, is a strong indication she was responsible, Levy said.

Let me help with the motive, the one thing that seems to be slowing up the case.  Steve McNair is a successful community and national icon that took an interest in a 19-20 year old young woman.  He took her on vacations and bought her an Escalade.  She told people that she was in love and that Steve was going to divorce his wife.

Then, the dream starts to die, piece by piece.  On LiveSteez, today they write that Steve stood her up in Las Vegas.

As days pass, details of the murder/suicide of the former Tennessee Titan quarterback, Steve McNair, and his mistress Sahel Kazemi, continue to surface. The latest speculation is, McNair seemed to have wanted to pull away from the affair.

Just two weeks ago, Kazemi and McNair planned a trip to Las Vegas. Kazemi, 20, flew from Tennessee to Nevada to meet  McNair, but he never arrived, reports Florida Times Union.

Soheyla Kazemi, sister of McNair’s mistress, said she was concerned about the age difference between her sister and the former quarterback but “she never listened to nobody.”

As you know, what happens in Vegas, is supposed to stay in Vegas.  But, what happens if that time never happens?  Anger and resentment start to build.  The anger continues later when you are out drinking with Steve (illegally, might I add since the drinking age is 21 in the U.S.) and he asks you to drive.

You get pulled over and arrested for DUI.  Now, I am not sure if you really were smoking marijuana, but for some inexplicable reason, you feel the need to tell the police officer that you were doing that.  Forgive me for getting off topic, but why cop to something that is illegal to try to get out of something that is illegal too?  Its called Driving under the Influence….which includes driving under the influence of weed, or other drugs. I went to FindLaw to research the law in Tennessee.

Code Section 39-17-401, et seq.
Possession Possession or casual exchange of: Less than .5 oz.: Class A misdemeanor and attendance at drug offender school and minimum $250 fine; Casual exchange to a minor from an adult 2 yrs. his senior and adult knows minor is a minor: felony; Subsequent offense: $500 minimum; Third: $750 minimum; Two or more prior convictions, then Class E felony; 20 plants to 99 plants: Class C felony, fined up to $100,000.

So, according to the law, you were in trouble regardless.  After watching Steve drive off in a taxi, and you in a black and white, you start to stew.  You see your carefully planned future going down the drain.  Even though he comes to bail you out, see feel some distance in his behavior towards you.

Time passes.  You get antsy.  Steve hasn’t called you back and you begin to worry that he is going to stay with his wife and not go through the divorce.  Sahel thought that they were going to get married.  The NY Post explains the Adulterer’s Playbook, used by many men and women.  Here, they give the way that Steve tailored it to his liking.

The two met at a local Dave & Buster’s restaurant — where Kazemi worked and McNair often took his family.

“He started to talk to her a little,” Salmani said. “They exchanged phone numbers and started dating from there.

“That’s why she was like, ‘OK, now you’re divorcing. We can date,’ ” Salmani said.

Aaron said yesterday that McNair and Kazemi had had a “dating relationship” for months.

Kazemi had been arrested Thursday night for allegedly driving intoxicated in Nashville. She was pulled over in a 2007 Cadillac Escalade registered to her and McNair, who also was in the SUV.

He bailed out Kazemi — who had told cops she was high, not drunk.

She was mad and there is proof of that.  A neighbor of Sahel tells the Post that the last time she was seen, she was storming off in the Escalade.

One of Kazemi’s neighbors told The Post that McNair “wasn’t hiding” his relationship with the petite beauty, who openly called him her “boyfriend.”

She said Kazemi occasionally would be dropped off at her residence at 3 a.m. by a limo. Debra Bacher, who moved into the apartment directly below Kazemi’s on Wednesday, said, “I saw her Thursday night when she left out of here between 9 and 10 [o'clock]. It’s like she was mad, and she just slammed off in that” Escalade.

Bacher said she never again saw the Escalade, which cops said was sitting outside McNair’s condo when he got home early Saturday.

Police said they know that before he arrived home that morning, he had visited two local watering holes: the Blue Moon Lagoon and Loser’s Bar and Grill.

Clearly, Steve needed some time to think.  He might have ducked some of her calls, leading to the frustration that she might have felt.   The gun was a way to keep them together.  It probably was an impulse buy.  You do have to be rather cold blooded or really emotionally wounded to put two in the dome and two in the chest to anyone who is not directly attacking you.   When he finally went back to the condo after a night of drinking with friends, there was hell to pay. (unfortunately he literally had to pay)

The reason why people have affairs in the first place is to escape their current situation.  The fantasy in the other relationship makes the grass seem greener on the other side.  For Steve McNair, it was green enough for him to make the decision to step outside his marital bounds.  But, when faced with grief from another source, you can see why he might have wanted to break it off.  Hell, if I am going to get yelled at, why not get it at home?

Breaking up is hard to do;  in this case, it might have cost Steve McNair his life.

So i got a little twisted last night (yo might be able to tell from my last post) and failed to get out the top 10. luckily, I don’t work until later tonight so I’ve got some time right now to finish you off.  Here are my top 10 country sngs of all-time, as voted by ME, the blogger.  Enjoy….

10. Patsy Cline – Walking after midnight. What a fantastic jam from a country legend.  I toyed with pushing this higher and swapping it with her other mega-hit, but this 10-spot will haveto do.

9. Dixie Chicks – You were mine. My favorite Chicks song and what a jam it is!  Sad, yes, but a classic representation of the genre for sure.  This one always gets me.

8. Lonestar – Amazed. This one blew up the spot in ‘99 right when I started getting into the genre.  Perhaps this is why it enjoys such a high placement.  Or perhaps this one is, indeed, universally recognized as one of the top songs. This is pretty lame, but I translated this song into French back in the day and can still remember large chunks of the translated version.

7. Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire. I had to include this legend doing what he does best.  Not a huge surprise here, mine and about a million other people’s favortie Cash.  This truly IS country.  That’s why I can’t stand people who say they don’t like county music.  HELLO!! Johnny motherfucking Cash is country, and you don’t like him?  That just says to me that you just don’t really like MUSIC.  period.

6. Reba McEntire – The night the lights went out in Georgia. No real surprise here either.  This queen of the modern country era doing her thing proper.  This is a great song and just a great story in general.  that’s what country music is all about: telling a good story.  Few can do it like Reba.

5. Charlie Daniels Band – The devil went down to Georgia. Like I said, you gotta have one fast-paced country jam in every ten or you’ve failed to represent the genre.  This is clearly the best of the bunch.  A classic jam, great instrument work.  Just quintessential country.

4. Garth Brooks – The Dance. The master of modern country telling us about life like no other can.  My personal favorite Garth Brooks song and the highest a song from the modern country era (songs released in my lifetime) on this list.  Brilliant.

3. Patsy Cline -Crazy. Not much more to say about this pioneer of the craft and her signature singing style.  Thi s song is truly a classic and well-deserving of near top-billing.

2. Willie Nelson – You were Always on my Mind. It wouldn’t be a country countdown without Willie, and I’ve decided to skip all of the second-hand goods (yes, I recognize that jams like “on the road again” should have made the list.  My B.) and go straight to the real gem of the bunch.  This song is one of the best pieces of music period. In any genre.

1. George Jones -He stopped loving her today. It isn’t a country countdown without this legend present.  Some will disagree with my choice, but that’ s why this is my list, and not yours.  This is, in my opinion, the esence of country music and the song that always touches me (not like that, you perv).  it’s ben a wild few days and a whole lotta country music, but what a fitting way to close things out.  Enjoy…

because they can lead you to get shot up.

Steve just thought that it might be a hit on his rep, not his life...but jail isnt that bad, is it?

But would you get shot for it?

The timeline is not set in stone yet, but this 20 year old woman was one who liked to get out and party.  The drinking age is 21, so I thought, but when you travel in circles with Steve McNair, that might open up doors that would routinely be closed to you.  (either that, or you drink at where you work, which could cost you your license.)

Aren't you underage?  How do you have that beer?  and by the looks of it, it's a crappy beer like a Corona or something

Aren't you underage? How do you have that beer? and by the looks of it, it's a crappy beer like a Corona or something

Then, after a night of partying and drinking, you get pulled over…

and hauled off to jail,

That has got to be the motto, right?  I mean, drinking and driving is only a crime if you got caught

That has got to be the motto, right? I mean, drinking and driving is only a crime if you got caught

while Steve jumps into a taxi and gets home.

So, you had some time to stew in jail about being arrested…

with that time you had, you decided that Steve was going to take everything away.  Maybe you began to have feelings of abandonment,  since your parents were killed when you were young.  You were not going to have that happen to you again.  You and your new lover were going to die together, romantically, just like Romeo and Juliet

Really??? I bet SHE decided that YOU would wear the shirts...

Really??? I bet SHE decided that YOU would wear the shirts...

So, then you got your gun that you purchased (privately, as to get around the waiting period) go to the condo and sit and stew while waiting for Steve, who is out drinking with the fellas and is probably chasing better tail…

Sahel, there is a LOT of young tail out there for a guy, especially if you are Steve McNair...just ask his wife, since you are the jumpoff...

Sahel, there is a LOT of young tail out there for a guy, especially if you are Steve McNair...just ask his wife, since you are the jumpoff...and Hooters is better than Dave and Busters, you should try to get a job there...oopppss, I mean you SHOULD HAVE...my bad

She would not have reacted like this is you didn’t take her on expensive trips

You can tell he is sprung by the look he is giving her...

You can tell he is sprung by the look he is giving her...

and buy her cars…

Stuntin on them other hoes...but it could have been taken away at any time...

Stuntin on them other hoes...but it could have been taken away at any time...

and think that nothing is going to come of it when you try to leave the spot.  She thought that it was going to be taken away from her and she did the one thing that she could insure that her future would be forever entertwined with Steve McNair…kill him and kill yourself.

For future players, take a lesson from the tragic tale of Steve McNair.  First, listen to my boyz, Sporty Thievez and No Pidgeons…

then listen to my man Riley…

Think about the game…Game recognize game…

Huey: Granddad, have you asked yourself why a 20-year-old girl would wanna go out with a man your age?
Granddad: Because I laid my game down quite flat.
Riley: Game? What you know about the game, Granddad?
Granddad: I know the game.
Riley: Takin’ women out to eat, givin’ ‘em free meals? What part of the game is that? You takin’ her to Red Lobster with the cheddar biscuits. The fam ain’t eatin’ cheddar biscuits but this random broad is eatin’ cheddar biscuits.
Riley: I know the game. Your granddaddy knows the game.
Riley: Game recognize game, Granddad.
Granddad: I recognize game! Your granddaddy recognize game!
Riley: Game recognize game and you lookin’ kinda unfamiliar right now. I – I can’t… Where’s Granddad? Can I help you, sir?

If you are in a situation like this, then follow my man A Pimp named Slickback for dealing with scenarios like this…

The Pimps Prayer: Let us pray the Pimps Prayer. Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch and guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord, so that she might learn a hos place. Amen.

The Pimp's Prayer: "Let us pray the Pimp's Prayer. Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch and guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord, so that she might learn a ho's place. Amen."

Finally, E-40 gives us sage advice…

if only Steve had followed this stuff…

sahel kazemi

When I was driving to work this morning,  for some reason, this song was going through my head…

Now, the Steve McNair situation is not about child molestation and rape and such, but the title got me humming in the car thinking about it.  News has come to light that Sahel bought the gun in a private transaction on Thursday. The Tennessean reports that the police know the ownership trail of the gun.

NASHVILLE — Though many questions remain, investigators now know that Sahel Kazemi bought the gun that ended her life and killed former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair.

Kazemi bought the semi-automatic pistol on Thursday evening from a person Nashville police have not named. She made the purchase the same day she was bailed out of jail by McNair for a DUI charge. Both were found dead less than 48 hours later, in a condo McNair rented.

Now, I know a DUI is bad, but it is not that bad…(unless you kill someone like Leonard Little or Donte’ Stallworth)  Eddie George is still repping the third person argument, which gives credence to my thought of Keith Norfleet  as the killer…The USA Today throws some gas on my theory fire…

Former Titans RB Eddie George said today that a third party may have been involved in the shooting deaths of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi, a 20-year-old woman with whom McNair was having an affair, on Saturday.

“The only issue that I have with the whole situation is I find it hard to believe a 20-year-old would put two bullets in somebody’s head and two in the chest,” George said on Sirius satellite radio. “You’re making a statement and shot herself in the head. And, I don’t know. It just seems like it’s too professionally done.”

George’s comments echo those from Kazemi’s sister, Sepideh Salman, who said Sunday that a “third person” likely was involved in the deaths.
