The Worst Songs Ever Recorded....

The next list in the series is devoted to the crappiest songs you've ever heard, or maybe you haven't because they are so ridiculous. These songs lack anything that has to do with what makes a song good. Good lyrics, good music, and a decent signing voice eludes all of these people.

DISCLAIMER: It is well-known and well recognized that any song by 1. Nickleback 2. Fergie and 3. Black eyed peas, Sucks. They always will, they always have, and while one or two of these songs may end up on the list, we all agree that they are the worst of the worst. Also Country is the worst music ever recorded. Not Johnny Cash country, but Randy Travis, Tim McGraw country. The kind of country that makes you want to find a firm wooden railing and a strong rope. We can also agree that EMO sucks as well, nothing is worse then a dude screaming into a mic talking about how he needs to hurt himself because his girlfriend broke up with him when he was 12, My Chemical Romance style.

Now for the list...

1. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk - Trace Adkins.
2. My heart will go on - Celine Dion
3. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da - The Beatles
4. The Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You - Bryan Adams
5. Follow Me - Uncle Kracker
6. She Bangs - Ricky Martin
7. Shiny Happy People - REM
8. Barbie Girl - Aqua

13. I’ll Be There For You - The Rembrandts

The New Boys

Liverpool's signings this year have been nothing but a success in pre-season matches so far. The goals are pouring in and it looks to end the goal drought we seem to experience every year that keeps us out of title contention. But this year something feels different.

Lets look at the signings of the summer.

First and formost we sealed deals for the cornerstones of the club. Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso, Steve Finnan and Pepe Reina have all signed extensions to their contracts. The financial strength of the new owners has allowed for these contracts to be done.

The biggest signing of the summer has been Fernando Torres, for Liverpool, and in Europe in general. This kid has it all, strength on the ball and on the marker, great pace, and great anticipation. He can make great runs and is a clinical finisher. A great addition that promises more goals over the year.

The next signing on the list would be Ryan Babel, the Dutch Under 21 international that shined throughout Hollands Under-21 conquest earlier this summer. This kid is a prodigy, a product of Ajax he has great pace and is another great finisher.

The sleeper signing of the summer has to be Andriy Voronin. A great pickup by Benitez. Strong, physically imposing, this Ukrainian has a hunger for the goal, and is a great finisher both on his feet and in the air. Has already made his mark this pre-season scoring a few goals. Also he cost nothing to buy, as it was a free transfer. Great move by Liverpool.

The "iffy" signing this year goes to Israeli international Yossi Benayoun. The former West Ham man is a good midfielder, but where he exactly fits in an already start studded midfield I do not know. He has great vision and is decent on the ball, I'm sure Benitez has some sort of plan for him, we will just have to wait and see.

As for potential targets to come, Gabriel Heinze's name has come up. A great defender that would bolster the Liverpool rearguard. The Argentinean International would improve an already solid back four and would offer a great offensive presence.

This year seems to be a little different, the addition of high class names and the retention of the core of the team has illustrated the American owners will to win and will to succeed against the likes of Manchester United. We are very close and I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have the title next spring. If not this year, then next.

Michael Vick....

What is up with people today? Michael Vick has been accused of having dog fights, amongst other things.

Now I have no problem with charging the guy under suspicion, thats completely normal when there are allegations against him. My problem is the fact that they are branding him guilty already. Why?? Has he gone to trial? Has he been proven guilty?

What the Heck?

This guy is innocent until proven guilty, just like any other suspected criminal. I don't care if he is a star or whatever, the guy still needs to have a fair trial. It seems to me this is turning into a race issue. I was watching Nancy Grace (switching through channels, something caught my eye) and it was pathetic. First off, let me say that Nancy Grace is the biggest piece of Garbage on the TV since Barney. She is a terrible reporter, a terrible talker and doesn't even have a clue about anything when it comes to sports or even the law half the time. Most of the time shes talking about herself and how she was once some really good lawyer. Right. Shes obnoxious, rude, and has no time for any of her guests if they questions her. She's been known to bash cops and other lawyers and what not. She even asked one lawyer is this Vick case was another OJ Simpson. WOW! This women is out of control.

Regardless, she would say he was innocent till proven guilty, and then next, say that he was guilty. And went on too comment on videos of dogfighting has how bad it is. FOR GOODNESS SAKE YOU DUMB BROAD!!!! Of course the videos are disgusting, but for the love of Sweet Jesus, SHUT UP! Stop making Vick out to be some monster when he hasn't even been convicted of anything. I don't care what anyone says, until this man is proven guilty, without a shadow of a doubt then ill change my mind. For now hes innocent, and should be playing football.

Oh, and for the record, i have a FIRM boycott on Nancy Grace and her show. Nancy Grace = The Scum of the Earth.

ROFLCOPTER ROLLOUT!!!!!!!!

Today's Pondering...

Scott is glad that anonymous posters cannot post on his blog anymore because they are, for the most part, useless. Scott is also glad that he doesn't have to read the senseless BS that is posted by the anonymous posters. Scott is pondering why people think they can just do what they want and say what they will behind the curtains of the internet.

People should learn to grow up, maybe grow a set. Maturity does not lie in anonymity.

Autobots, Rollout!

A recent comment...

A recent comment made to me about the MLS stating that someone loved soccer so much that they even watched the MLS.

Ok, I see that point. Yes, if you love soccer so much then I could see watching the MLS. BUT......I think the thing is that I LOVE soccer so much that I cant stand watching a professional league that is full of mediocre players. Players who cannot pass to save their tails, can't shoot worth shat, and can't even make a decent play without some sort of fluke bounce.

Out of all the players in the MLS, theres about a handful that are actually decent. David Beckham is one, Juan Pablo Angel is another, and then theirs the likes of Freddy Adu who is quite the prospect for European Clubs, namely Manchester United, who have been watching this kid like a hawk. But what else does this league offer that the many European ones don't. What does the MLS give to the football world that every other league doesn't already? The answer is nothing. It gives a whole lot of NOTHING.

Exciting Football X
Good players X
Decent Coverage X

So what else does the MLS have left then? The league has been labeled a league of wash-ups, has-beens, and players who just aren't good enough to play anywhere else but in their own country on a bad team.

I don't have a personal problem with the MLS, contrary to popular belief, i think its a good way to get Americans attuned to the game. The problem is they are doing it all wrong. Brash statements such as "We are better then the Premier League" and "We could hold our own against the best in England" are simply stupid comments coming from dumb American soccer players who, ironically, only played in the US for their careers. Lack of experience here hurts them.

Lets take a look at the Copa America. The USA lost all three of its games, one to Argentina, Columbia, and Paraguay. Yeah they were missing their "star" player Landon Donovan, PFFFF, what a over-hyped piece of American Media. The guy sucks, no one wants him. The player they could have used was Brian McBride. A quality player who is actually good at the game.

Case and Point, I'm a massive fan, I love the game, so much so that it hurts to see bad soccer being called good. I like the idea of the MLS, but don't make it out to be the best league, or even a top 10 league. I don't like the league because of how it has been marketed and how it doesn't live up to any of the hype. Figures though, Americans trying to look the best at everything they do, too bad they fall short this time, very short.

A Ridiculous Car...

This car is quite the machine, the ultra-car version of the popular GTI model, it develops 650 bhp and 530 foot pounds from a 6.0 liter, twin-turbo charged W12. This means a north to 60 arrives in 3.7 seconds; supercar territory. Straight line performances looks promising, and with a mid-engine, rear-wheel setup, handling could be promising as well.

The body of the car has been widened, 6 feet in total, to fit massive 295 width tires with 19 in alloys, Lamborghini tires are in the same region here, to give some prospective. It's W12 motor producing 650 bhp is a 450 bhp increase from the standard GTI's 2.0 4 cylinder that produces 200 bhp. Quite the increase on such a small car.

The downfall that this car has to be its six-speed Automatic transmission via paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. This takes a way from the sport experience that this car has to offer. This isn't the Ferrari automatic paddle shifting technology which is God-like in it's shift times. This is a German made car, not an Italian thoroughbred. This is disappointing but at the price this car will be, probably in the 6 figure area, you have other options.

While this car will be a one-off, it will be interesting to see how it takes to the public. It just doesn't look and feel like a supercar, it doesn't make you giddy like pictures of Lamborghini's do, and it doesn't scare the living hell out of you just looking at it.


Specs:
- VW claims a top speed of 202 mph
- 6.0l W12 12-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine mounted in the rear.
- 650hp and 553 lb-ft. of torque
- with the flared fenders the car sits over 6 feet wide and only 4.6 feet tall
- 19" wheels with 295 rear rubber and 235 front rubber
- the fenders are flared 3.15" at the rear

Brilliant!

What a great signing, finally we will have a striker that can finish. All i can say is it is about time!
