Choke on That, Bitch.

     The Washing Capitals were easily the most dominant NHL team in recent memory. I don't even follow hockey, nor give a shit about it until playoff time, but even I knew that Czar Alex (copyright that) and the rest of the Caps were unbeatable. Earlier this year, Tony Korn and Mike Wilbon debated on Pardon the Interruption about if the Capitals would lose before the Nets won... and they actually said they had the Net's winning first.

      And then the playoffs came along, and the #1 seeded Capitals took on the #8 seeded Montreal Canadians (the most unoriginal name in sports) who had struggled all year. The Capitals were up 3 games to 1 without any difficulty. I don't watch hockey, but apparently the Habs took the Capitals to Game 7, and when I heard my insane neighbor from Washington screaming profanities in the hallway that night, I knew that the Canadians had pulled off the upset, and the Capitals and their Czar had committed one of the biggest chokes in Sports history.

       So that got me thinking of the biggest gag jobs in history, and made me want to compile this list of Chokes. Oh, and James (that's my neighbor), I was the one yelling Cap's suck down the hallway when you were drunk. Just saying...

GREATEST CHOKES IN HISTORY (SPORTS AND LIFE)
1) New York Yankees, 2004 ALCS - I mean this was an obvious number one. After an absolutly DOMINATING first three games in the ALCS, they Yankee's were one inning from closing out a sweep of the Boston Red Sox in Game 4. They had "one of the best" closers of all time on the mount, in Mariano Rivera, to send them to the World Series. However, a large, black man named David Ortiz had different plans, and the rest is history.
2) 18-1, the 2007 New England Patriots - It kills me to put this here as a die-hard Patriots fan, but the 2007 Super Bowl has to go number two on the list. The most dominating offense/team of ALL-TIME was one game away from the first (19 game) perfect season in NFL History. Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and the dominating Patriots offense only mustered 14 points against the lowly New York Giants, who had no reason being in the Super Bowl as it was. The Patriots lost 17-14, and I cried that night, after watching the game that is only referred to in New England as "that game."
3) Jimmie Foxx - On July 21st, 1967, the great retired first baseman of the Boston Red Sox passed away, after apparently choking on a large piece of meat.
4) Greg Norman, 1996 Masters - Now I can honestly say I like Golf, and there has never been as big of a choke in golf as that of Greg Norman in 1996. Norman entered the final day of the tournament with a 6 shot lead, and the tournament in the bag. He gagged by shooting a 76 (I think I can shoot a 76), and lost the tournament by 5 stroked. His career was never the same.
5) B-Rabbit in the opening scene of 8 mile - So this "B-Rabbit" white kid opens up a movie about his life at a rap battle in the ghetto. Being the only white guy there, he had a lot to prove. He get's up there on stage, in his first battle, and doesn't say anything! He turns out to be pretty good though, I think..
6) The Washing Capitals and the Mighty Czar Alexander Ovechkin (see above)
7) The 1986 Boston Red Sox That Buckner Guy - Another post that kills me to write. We all know the story, the Red Sox we're one out away in the 9th from winning the World Series. After three singles tied the game, Mookie Wilson hit a slow roller to first baseman Bill Buckner, that squirted right in-between his legs and forced in the winning run. The Red Sox lost Game 7, and that grounder went down as the worst error in sports history
Honorable Mentions - Ivan Drago, That Showboating Snowboarder Chick who fell at the finish line, Oilers/Bills 1992, The Vietnam War, Chris Webber's Timeout.

Fear the Deer? or Fear the BEARD!

With their recent run to close out the season and begin the season, Bucks' fans have developed the "Fear the Deer" campaign. However, a large part of this success can be credited to newly acquired guard John Salmons. Since being traded to the Bucks on February 18, Salmons has averaged 19.6 points per game and provided Bucks' fans with plenty of "oohs" and "aahs". He has added a great shooter and a new dynamic to their already talented back court with Brandon Jennings and Carlos Delfino. Not to mention his beard, I mean I'd be scared of a deer running at me, but seeing John Salmon's beard coming at me full speed about to dunk the ball, I think I'd shit myself. Despite their loss to Atlanta tonight which evened their first round playoff series at three games apiece, Salmons has sparked the flame for the Milwaukee Bucks' newly found success. Fans are once again proud to be Milwaukee fans, and it's not the deer they're thanking, it's the BEARD.

Friday Fight Club: Round 1 - Ninja Kid vs Gangsta

So on Your Girlfriends Favorite Blog, we're going to have a weekly segment
called Friday Fight Club, showing street fight videos up on youtube and stuff,
because everyone likes to watch a good scrap. If you have any
recommendations or anything you would like us to put up, feel free to send
it to my facebook or anywhere.





Round One involves the ultimate mismatch, this "gangsta" black kid picking on the white guy. Then all of a sudden this kid fucking goes crazy into this Ninja stance. Now the first time I saw this I thought this kid was all show and was trying to be funny and intimidate the black kid, but it turns out he actually knew what he was doing. I have no idea what kind of self-defense training this kid has, but he damn well knew how to use it and pulls off one of the most improbable one punch knockouts I have ever seen. What a way to kick off Fridays Fight Club..

If you could be one Gangsta Rapper, in any time period, who would you be?

KYLE: Snoop Dogg

This argument has been debated time and time again, and it came up again when I was working at the Pita Pit the other day (yes I work at the Pita Pit, don't hate). There were a lot of different answers, including 50 cent, Dre, etc. But I had my own specific pick, someone noone else decided to pick. And I was wondering what the boys of Y.G.F.B felt, and what our readers felt. So I'll start with my opening argument for my pick. And that man is Cordozar Calvin Broadus in the early 90's. Snooooooooooop.

I could end the discussion right there. I mean, the dudes name is CORDOZAR. It doesn't get much more ghetto than that. But I know that won't be enough to win me this argument, so here's a few more insights for you about Snoop D-O-double G. Doggystyle was his debut album back in 1993, he was discovered by Dre, and fuckin' "GIN AND JUICE" is on that album. "What's my Name?" is on that album. And you know you can put either of those songs on at a party and everyone is going to go crazy.

And not even talking about music, what hasn't Snoop done? He made his own porn. He has his own 40 oz. And what do guys like us like more than those two things? (kidding...kinda) He's been on WWE Raw, and only Snoop can make that not really gay.

Dude was arrested in connection of a rival gang members murder back in 1993, among a bunch of other charges that are so heavy that I am too lazy to type them all out. All you need to know is Snoop is a G. There is no competition. If I could be any gangsta rapper in any time period, it'd have to be Snoop. No Question.

BEN: Ice Cube

As if the picture doesn’t say enough... Ice Cube is easily the definition of gangster rap. As a part of N.W.A. (N***** With Attitude), he pushed the limits of music and society while developing an in your face, don’t fuck with me attitude.

“When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin' out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin' out”

Does it get more ghetto than that? Not to mention Ice Cube hails from Compton, CA the most dangerous city in the United States. He’s a g, straight up. He passed down a big contract with N.W.A. just to prove that he hates “the man.” If I had to fight someone and could bring someone to assist me, it would not be the toothpick that is Snoop Dogg (I love Snoop, but really? Not the scariest person in world), I would take the Cube. When I asked Ice Cube what he likes to do he responded, “Takin' a life or two that's what the hell I do. You don't like how I'm livin’, well fuck you!” Thanks for the insight O’Shea Jackson.

People say he got soft after doing children’s movies and television shows, but Ice Cube is staying hard the whole time. Look at him in the movies he is in... still rollin’ on 24’s, g’d up from the feet up. You simply cannot fuck with him. Just look at him, he doesn’t smile, he isn’t intimidated, he just kills people.

VOTE IN THE POLL IN THE TOP RIGHT. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR READERS THINK!

"Is he going to punch her in the vagina?"

First off, I was in the room when this happened. These two idiots we're
convinced that if they sat and watched this video, that they had never
seen before, and let their reactions get filmed, they would recieve $5.
Obviously, they were never given the money, and have a couple very
disturbing images stuck in their head.

PS- Don't ask what the video was of or to see it. You'll regret it.
Just like they did
