-Kobe Bean demanded a trade at 9am, recinded at 3 pm, and went from looking like he was just bitchin, to bein a straight up bitch. He seems to be on the reconciliation with Shaq, but Shaq will end up sendin those Xmas cards to LA, as the GWH predicts Kobe Bean will remain in LA. Too bad he has that whole no-trade clause...cause I'd ship his ass back to Rapeville, CO.

-GM of FiveGuys outside of Washington, DC, Fuzzy Byskitz sent this proposal to me regarding Kobe Bean:
Fuzbyskitz: Michael ruffin, jarvis hayes, and etan thomas for Kobe.

-A-Rod made the front page of the Post. Stray-Rod definatly won the best nickname from the papers.

Pics sent to me by my attractive friends:

1st Ever Q & A with Tha GWH
Monday, May 28

Hello and welcome to the first ever Q&A chat with yours truly. Let's begin. Any Questions?


Dudewheresmyblunt420 (Wilkes Barre, PA) GWH...why the name Tha Great White Hype?

GreatWhiteHype Because the names New Jersey Giant, Peter North, Rip the Jacker and God Shamgod were already taken.


BongMaster84 (Spokane, WA) GWH, what was worse... AJ soprano pullin out of his suicide attempt or Todd Pinkston's case of the alligator arms?

GreatWhiteHype for those of you who might have forgotten about the play signifying the Eagles franchise, here it is



I think AJs was actually worse. He cried like a 6 year old Blake Lewis fan last Thursday after he botched his attempt. Pinkston lost his credibility, AJ lost his hot girlfriend and a chance to lead the northern Jersey family.


StackMoney73 (Ashburn, VA) Missy Elliot, Pat Summit, and Billie Jean King?

GreatWhiteHype marry Pat, f BJK, k Missy


OnoITZchrisHansen1969 (Mobile, AL) I've been dating a girl that's much younger than I, and I want to know if it's alright. Help me GWH!!

GreatWhiteHype Here's a couple tips on if the girl is way too young. 1) She wears With Love by Hillary Duff. 2) She remembers MJ being from Space Jam. 3) You can eat her necklace.


TrapdIndaClozet364 (Kalamazoo, MI) GWH, what was your take on this year's Real World: Denver?

GreatWhiteHype I thought it was a pretty weak cast. They pretty much went from focusing on the slutty girls, to the crazed black guy, then to just fixating on psycho Brooke, who salvaged the show. I mean, where else could you find a big pussy who cries all the time, especially to her parents, gets hurt more than anyone you know, and still ends up being the star? Oh wait....



JoeTorre6 (Bronx, NY) Where will I be in 1 week?

GreatWhiteHype Fired if the Sox take 2 of 3 this week, gone by the break at the earliest unfortunatly.


ItchyNbitchy85 (Riverdale, NY) Thanks for burnin me last week. Next time, give a girl a heads up please...

GreatWhiteHype .........


SexWax69 (Los Angeles, CA) you were pissed about Lindsay Lohan getting number 1 on the Maxim list...so who would you pick?

GreatWhiteHype Here would be my top 3:

3.


2.

and #1.



Fr.Tom7 (Vatican City) Young GWH.. would you rather end the crisis in Darfour, end the war in Iraq, or be in attendance for the Giants' super bowl victory this year?

GreatWhiteHype Shit im going to hell. no seriously since its Memorial Day id say end the war.


MauiWowie666 (Salt Lake City, UT) I'm bringin home a dimepiece and I need a recipe to make sure I get some domeage by the end of the night. Help me.

GreatWhiteHype First off Maui, no man says the word "recipe" unless he is cooking for his boyfriend. Secondly:




Bananas Foster

Ingredients: - 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup banana liqueur
- 4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream


Directions:

Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet.
Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan.
When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum.
Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum.
When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream.
Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
Serves Four



DaBoss7362 (Asbury Park, NJ)Can you in less than 500 words give a synopsis of the French & Indian War as well as the most underrated worst draft pick in the last 20 years of the NFL?

GreatWhiteHype The French and Indian War was the nine-year North American chapter of the Seven Years War. The conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. To compensate its ally, Spain, for its loss of Florida, France ceded its control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi. France's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. And Jeff George.


AngelBabey8327 (Orange County, CA) Any movies you are waiting to see?

GreatWhiteHype I'm not into any of the sequels that came out, but I would like to go to see Knocked Up. It's by the same guy who directed The 40 Year Old Virgin and it stars the Jewish stoner from that same movie as well as the uber-hottie from Grey's and My Father the Hero. In that movie she was like 14 and you knew she was gona be hot. That reminds me of the rule, named after one my my best friend's sister, the Cooper rule. Where any girl under the age of 17 can not be deemed to be smokin, but one can relay the fact that once she matures, she will most likely be a 10 (Note: this rule does not apply in Alabama, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and the age is 14 in certain Parishes in Louisiana.)

Back off the DL
Friday, May 25

Sorry for the long break. After 3 long weeks of pretending to study for finals and telling people "you either know it, or you don't" in the library, playing golf, laying on the roof, running beer pong, sleeping until 3pm, catching predators, senior week, graduation, more beer pong, and more golf....I'm back.

Since I've been away, Rocket got grounded in a start for Trenton, Yanks took 2 of 3 big May games from the BoSox, former Giants CB Philippi Sparks' daughter won American Idol, Greg LeMond got fondeled, and it seems like overnight, UFC has blown up and gone mainstream on a playa.

Here's some other thoughts:

-Steinbrenner say's Torre is safe, Ca$hman is the one on the hook. This seems like a safe play by George and it takes heat off someone whos been cooking over the fire. I think he might be realizing that after the Pavano fucking shit deal...maybe its the injuries and lack of players making plays thats doing the Bronx Bombers up the Major Deegan Chocolate Expressway.

-Jared Jordan, the Star of the Marist Red Foxes, got a nice story on SI.com this week. Looks like he might be a second-round pick in the NBA draft.

-Dean Handcock, the father of the deceased St. Louis Cardinal's pitcher/pothead/drinker who died in a car accident, decided to sue the bar and the bartender where his son had too much to drink. In an era of suing McDonalds after spilling their hot coffee on yourself, this has gone way too far. Should I sue the makers of sunscreen when I dont put enough on and get burnt? This lawsuit reflects how many people in this country dont hold themselves (or in this case their loved ones...who of course do nothing wrong like go get drunk, drive a car, smoke a joint, and text on their cell phone and then die in a car accident). I'm sad such a young person had to go, especially one with such a bright future, but he fucked up and his dad should not tarnish his reputation by taking this to court. Maybe he should sue Mercedez for the car, Sprint for the texts, and the pot dealer for the joint he smoked.

-ESPN.com Soccer Blogger Jen Chang gets absolutely raped in the comments posted in his blog after the AC Milan victory in the Champions League.

-Lindsay Lohan got number 1 on Maxim's Hot 100. After her year, that would be like the Baseball Writers of America giving Barry Bonds the POY award. I have no idea how she won it. Jessica Alba making a bowel movement wearing a Manny Ramirez jersey is hotter than that cokeslut.

-The Knicks are reportedly intrested in signing Nets G Vince Carter when he becomes a free agent. Great. He will join Marbury, Richardson, Steve Francis, and Jarred Jefferies as overpaid, shoot-first guards who are ruining the franchise.

-Commencement speakers 2007. Iona: Bernie Williams. Fordham: Willie Randolph. Manhattan: Jan Crawford Greenberg.

-I still cant believe Lindsay Lohan got number 1. Lindsay Lohan getting number one is like standing on a pickup basketball court with Jordan, Magic, Wilt, and Kareem and deciding who to pick on ur team...then you look to the bleachers on the side of the court and point to Carl Pavano and his arm in a sling to be your go-to guy.

- Can I enter the NBA Draft? I guess so...

-College graduation. It was sorta depressing cause I made a lot of friends and Im going to miss them. It was more depressing that I don't know where I will be next year. So far im 0-17 in my law school applications. I wanted to tell so many people so many things. I wanted to tell some people I secretly hated them. I wanted to tell this one girl she was a moron and people only agreed with her in class cause she was hot and her boobs were pretty nice. I wanted to tell this one kid that I took his Fight Club DVD at his party sophomore year. Instead, I told them all, "congradulations" and kept my hatred inside.

Brooke freeking out again
Thursday, May 10

Posted byDa Great White Hype at 4:02 AM 1 comments  

life lesson...
Wednesday, May 9

Sometimes, one night in your life can fuck up years to come. Or at least you think so. I know back at the end of last winter, I got into trouble and its had serious effects on me getting into law school.

I was listening to the radio today and heard a name I havent heard in a while. Rick Ankiel. For those of you who don't know him, he was a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals who was pretty much a phenom. Here's some of his bio:

-Ankiel attended Port St. Lucie High School, went 11-1 with a 0.47 ERA during his senior season, striking out 162 batters in 74.0 innings pitched, and was named the High School Player of the Year by USA Today in 1997, and was also named 1st team High School All-American pitcher.

-He signed with the Cardinals straight out of high school, given a $2.5 million signing bonus, the fifth highest ever given to an amateur player. In 1998 he was Carolina League All-Star starting pitcher, Baseball America 1st team Minor League All-Star starting pitcher and voted the best pitching prospect in both the Carolina and Midwest leagues, and Cardinals Minor League Player of the Year.

In 1999, he was named the Minor League Player of the Year by both USA Today and Baseball America. He was also Texas League All-Star pitcher, Double-A All-Star starting pitcher, Cardinals Minor League Player of the Year, and Baseball America 1st team Minor League All-Star starting pitcher. Some scouts considered him to be one of the best left-handed pitching prospects ever.

Ankiel pitched his first full season in 2000 at the age of 20 (2nd youngest in the league), in which he posted an 11-7 record and a 3.50 ERA (9th in the league) and 194 strikeouts (7th in the league) in 30 games started for St. Louis. The most impressive of Ankiel's stats showed his dominance over hitters - he struck out batters at a rate of 9.98 strikeouts per nine innings (second in the National League only to Randy Johnson), and allowed only 7.05 hits per nine innings (second only to Chan Ho Park). He came in second in the NL Rookie of the Year voiting.

Ankiel threw a fastball in the 93-94 MPH range, and also possessed a heavy sinker with great movement, as well as his main strikeout pitch, a devastating 12-to-6 curveball which some have called the best they've ever seen.




Ok. Well it all went downhill for Rick. In game 1 of the NLDS in 2000, Tony LaRussa had planned to start the 20 year old Ankiel against Braves starter Greg Maddux. But instead of announcing it formally, he sent out Darryl Kile to the press before the game, as if he would start. Ankiel really fucked up in that game. Here was his amazing line from the 3rd inning of that game:


Maddux walked; Furcal popped to Clark in foul territory; Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Maddux to second); Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Maddux to third); A. Jones walked; Ankiel threw a wild pitch (A. Jones to 2nd); C. Jones was called out on strikes; Galarraga walked (Maddux scored on wild pitch by Ankiel; A. Jones to 3rd); Jordan singled to Lankford (A. Jones scored, Galarraga to 2nd); Ankiel threw a wild pitch (Galarraga to 3rd, Jordan to 2nd); Sanders walked; Weiss singled to Lankford (Galarraga scored, Jordan scored, Sanders to 2nd); Mike James replaced Ankiel; López popped to Viña; 4 R, 2 H, 0 E, 2 LOB. Braves 4, Cardinals 6.


5 wild pitches.

Then in game 2 of the NLCS, Ankiel got another chance. Ankiel was removed in the first inning. Of only 20 pitches thrown by Ankiel, five went past catcher Eli Marrero, including two official wild pitches. Ankiel appeared again in the seventh inning of game five, facing four hitters, walking two, and throwing two more wild pitches

-He never regained his control. Some say that it was a mental problem, same thing Chuck Knoblauch and Steve Blass, who became "mentally unable" to throw a ball to where they wanted it to go.

The bottom line is Rick Ankiel, me, and most of you are all pretty young still. Don't let one night or one bad outting determine your life. Rick Ankiel recently switched to outfield where he hopes to rejoin a major league team one day. He has been know for his ability to hit with power, and to field in center and in left.

Here's a video on Rick done pretty nicely...

What do the Yanks and the Great White Hype have in common?
Sunday, May 6

......An almost perfect Wang

-Chein-Ming Wang came within 5 outs of a perfect game. Although I didn't see the game live, I did watch the replay. Not one of his second or third pitches went straight over the plate, until the change-up thrown to Ben Broussard, which he took deep to left for a home run, to break up the perfect effort. Wang, a natural ground ball pitcher, held the M's in check, as for the first time this season, the Wanger had a sinker that looked more like his last year's control.

-Breaking News Yankees have signed 52 year old Rodger Clemens. No longer are Pavano and Wang and Mussina in the doghouse for missing starts, as techinically Clemens hasn't made one all season.

-Clemens' contract will be a pro-rated salary of $28 million dollars, according to ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. His pro-rated salary last season was $22 million (ESPN.com).


-Earlier in the week, phenom Phil Hughes kept Yankee Stadium and Fenwicks Bar & Grill captivated with his performance. He came into the 7th inning with a no-hitter, only to leave after pulling a hammy (no homo). He looks to miss a month.

-Rangers are currently down 4-3 as Straka just scored a goal. My prediction for the game as it is now with 11 minutes left in the 3rd....Rangers 5 Sabres 4 (OT). More on this game later.

-Golden State pulled off one of the biggest upsets ever in the NBA, knocking out the nearly-70 game winner and number 1 seed Dallas Mavericks. Dirk played like Dick as he was missing from everywhere as he was totally out of his game. He even got dunked on by dudes I never heard of. That's about all the NBA analysis I can do. Sorry.

-To the deuchebags crowd surfing and moshing at yesterday's Third Eye Blind Springfest concert here on campus... you made me realize why it's time for me to graduate.

Steven A. Smith's Cheeze Doodlez
Friday, May 4

In a day where...

1. I walk in to my one Friday class at 10am to find everyone in the class sitting in rows with nothing on the table ready to take a test I didnt know was coming. I felt like Damon Stoudamire getting handed a piss cup after a wake and bake.

2. My chip for an 89 lipped out on the 18th hole.

3. My cell phone got run over on Riverdale Avenue.

4. The Rangers give up the lead with .7 seconds to go and eventually lose in OT.

5. Dr. James Andrews continues racking up co-pay from the Yankees' pitching staff.


...I dont have much to talk about. Except the greatest video in the history of YouTube.

p.s shout outs to the Shogun for his mighty kind words, and to StackMoney for the vid.

Yankers...and "Sexy Picks"
Tuesday, May 1

-The Rangers and Yankees find themselves on the opposite ends of the sports spectrum. The Rangers played probably one of the most exciting hockey games of this year. They even drew some support from Broad Street afficianado Big Mike. In double overtime, the Michal Rozsival scored to bring the blue shirts within one game of tying the series. Playing at home, down two games to nil in the series, the Rangers were supported by a loud as fuck crowd.

Notes from the game:

-Jagr was penaltized three times. Un-Lady Bing-like shall I say?

-I told the Great White Dad before the game that the Rangers won't score more than two goals on Ryan Miller. The best way for them to score is to get garbage goals around the net, and plug them in Peter North style when he is down, just like Jagr did with his regulation goal

-This game was like a pitcher's duel. Just like in baseball, I'd rather watch a goalie's duel than an orgy of goals anytime.

* * * * * * * * *

Now, onto the last place Yankees.

-They have a lower winning percentage than the Washington Nationals. The relievers are used more than uncool Asians for trig homework. There are a lot of problems off the Deegan right now. Steinbrenner offered his support of both Torre and Cashman publiclly, but it seems that the blame right now falls on the starting pitching, defense, and even though its pussy to blame injuries, thats just the fact right now. This week hopefulyl will get get them back on track, as the fly to Texas then back here to start the weekend with a series versus the Mariners.

* * * * * * * * * *

Dr. Z's draft grade for the GMEN:

GIANTS -- B-I like teams that address needs, as you might have gathered. Desperate in the secondary, first pick goes to CB Aaron Ross. OK, not a shut-down type, but how many of us really are, I ask you? Good enough. Better than what they had. Ditto for No. 2 draft, WR Steve Smith, who has been highly productive in big time college competition. Jay Alford is a scrappy DT, Kevin Boss will be a better back-up TE for Jeremy Shockey than what they had, and with Shockey's injury history, it's a necessity. And highly publicized fourth rounder Zak DeOssie is about eight seconds faster in the 40 than his dad, Steve, a loyal old Giant, was, and about eight flips better in the agility drills (SI.com)


* * * * * * * * * * *

-Chargers took RB Michael Turner off the trading block. I don't know what to make of this. It seems like they couldnt find any team (Titans) to give up the first rounder to make the trade because Turner is a RFA. But then again, in the NFL, having good backups at QB and RB are hard to find. The downside is that the Chargers may lose Turner to free agency after this year, gaining nothing in his loss.

-5'4 QB Chris Leak signed with the Bears.

-"Spanish Party" Bowl Champion QB Jared Zabransky signed with the Texans.

-Eagles released DE Dhani Jones today.

-QB Brady Quinn is off suicide watch. Once he puts on the Brown's uniform, he may go back on.

* * * * * * * * * *

A lot of times this week, I heard the phrase "sexy pick" more than any other year. As in Mel Kiper, Jr. stating "he may not have been the sexy pick of this draft" (in which, he should have added a big "no homo" to the end of that. I decided to take a look at the origin of the phrase sexy pick. Here's what I found:

I'm not sure where it actually began, but the phrase began to pick up steam during the 2005 WNBA Draft. Here, Charolotte had the first pick of the draft. They could have gone with the "sexy pick" of the 6'2, 180 aptly-named Kristen Mann from UC-Santa Barbara


But they safely went with the far less-sexier Janel McCarville from the
Minnessotta Badgers.



There you go. Sexy picks.
