Guitar Sports Heroes?


Ok, so, not only are ALL of these guys each rad champions in their respective sports, but now they are supposed to be amazing Guitar Hero players too? No doubt. We'll see about that ... lol. In the words of the inimitable Al Bundy (Who, in a gargantuan feat of grid iron greatness, legendarily scored 4 touchdowns in a single football game for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship showdown versus Andrew Johnson High School), "Let's rock".

Everybody's A Phelps Phan.


The Michael Phelps publicity flood has just begun and promises to rival that of the Obama campaign. Check out the "Baltimore Bullet" sittin' pretty with all of his Olympic Gold Medals on the cover of the August 25th issue of Sports Illustrated. Homeboy is a beast ... I'm waiting to hear who the 1st rapper to name drop him in a rhyme. Anyway, next up, the talk show circuit AND a Wheaties box!

Michael Phelps = Straight Outta B'More!

"While his pre-race tracklist varies, Phelps has said that "I'm Me" by Lil' Wayne has been on his playlist in Beijing. The track, off Weezy's EP "The Leak" features the line:

Yes I am the best/and no I ain't positive I'm definite/I know the game like I'm reffing it

That's about the only lyric that's printable on a family blog.

Other artists that populate Phelps' iPod include: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Eminem and Outkast. (What, no 'Pac?) Occasionally, he'll throw some techno into the mix, but usually keeps things rap-centric. Phelps doesn't speak much about the specific songs he's listening to, but he did tell NBC in 2004 that Eminem's "'Til I Collapse" was on his most-played list at Athens. In 2005, he created a playlist for the website Rhapsody that included the songs "Roses" by Outkast, "Burn" by Usher, "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista and "Smile" by G-Unit."
