For second time this month, Spears taken to a hospital

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A police motorcade the length of a football field escorted troubled pop star Britney Spears to a Los Angeles hospital early Thursday to get her some help, a law-enforcement official told CNN.

Okay I will take over from here. Who gives a flying rats netherregion? I go against my rant by ranting about this but it is my hope a person that follows this non-relevant individual "news" will read this rant and mabye jar a cobweb loose and realize; "Hey this might not be important." Britney Spears; if not a millionaire and at one point a fantasy of many males (even I liked the Crazy video [a lot]), would just be considered a bad mother and poor employee and would have been fired and have lost custody of her children already. But, in this world we reside in, the more outrageous and less talented the individual the more "interesting and newsworthy" they become. So, she still has a recording contract and can not show to court but still be considered for custody. I hope B. Spears gets her stuff together just so I don't have to see her on news, internet, newspapers or hear about it from someone that thinks she is a current issue. When you make Kevin Federline (why do I know his name?) look like the responsible one, well... the thing speaks for itself. So, coo-coo ca-choo Ms. Spears, take a bow and let's move on to important issues... Like who is pregnant in Hollywood? Now that is truly newsworthy!

What? It is not? Oh come on!!

Last note: this is an actual headline from CNN.com-
Many make millions off Britney's escapades

Spears exclusive photographs can go for $10,000, even $100,000

To Klive Jr.: The little girl in Man on Fire is really Bette Davis re-incarnated. She frightens most people but she can act. And more importantly, the lady playing her mother looked fantastic.

Hefty Lefty Gets Super-Sized

I could care less about Tom Brady's foot, the Scruples that live in Bill Belichick's sweatshirt, or the half time show of the Super Bowl (unless there will be some Janet Jackson type stuff going on). However, I am very thrilled about Jared Lorenzen being in the Super Bowl. You may know Jared as the former U.K. quarterback and the guy in the Subway commercials. What many people don't know, however, is that J-Load's physical stature is commensurate with his reputation in the Big Apple.

Jared Lorenzen has become a fixture in the Broadway theather scene, doing cameos in Broadway hits such as Rent and The Lion King. Jared also enjoys the New York restuarant scene, and his deft palette has earned him a renowned culinary reputation. Mix in the rapier's wit and funloving personality of Mr. Lorenzen, and you basically have a Big Apple media darling.

Lorenzen's success has begun to filter back to the Bluegrass, as many now consider him to be the living embodiment of the commonwealth. From his childhood days in Edgewood, to his college days in Lexington and on to the Big Apple, Jared has taught us how to shake it with that Kentucky since of swagger.

So here's to the Big Guy in the Super Bowl. Good luck Jared!

Edwards Says 'See Y'ALL Later'

Jon Edwards has dropped out of the presidential race, citing that his gut-wrenching accent was too much for the American voters to overcome. Edwards decision came one day after a non-delegated drubbing in Florida by Team HillBill.

In God's Party, Rudy Giuliani is also expected to drop out of the race today after his loss in Florida, proving that even old people can tell when someone is bat-sh#t crazy. Mr. 9/11 is expected to announce his endorsement John McCain.

Not Always Smooth

Ramel Bradley's legacy as a Kentucky Wildcat may not be that of glory, considering what the U.K. teams that he's been a part of have accomplished. After all, Ramel was a member of what many believed might be Kentucky's best recruiting class ever. A group that included McDonald's All-Americans Randolph Morris, Rajon Rondo, Joe Crawford; a recruiting class that was rated as the best in the country. Those three players, along with Ramel, were supposed to be the building blocks for several national championships in U.K.'s near future.

Unfortunately, things didn't exactly go as planned. Kentucky did manage to make it to the Elite Eight that year, held together by the leadership of Chuck Hayes. Shortly thereafter, the program began to crumble. There were so many things that happened, I will opt to just list them.

1. Something that needs to be recognized about Tubby Smith's best recruiting class are the two classes that surrounded the 2004 class. 2003 Class: Bobby Perry, Sheray Thomas, Woo, and Shagari. 2005 Class: Jared Carter and Rekalin Sims. With the exception of Sims, there really isn't even a role player in this group.
2. Joe Crawford tries to leave during the 2004-2005 season.
3. Kelenna Azubuike leaves after the 2004-2005 season.
4. Randolph Morris tries to leave after the 2004-2005 season.
5. Randolph Morris misses half of the 2005-2006 season.
6. Rajon Rondo leaves after 2005-2006 season.
7. Rekalin Sims leaves after the 2005-2006 season.
8. Adam Williams leaves after the 2005-2006 season.
9. Shagari Alleyne leaves after the 2005-2006 season.
10. Do you notice a trend here.
11. Tubby Smith leaves after the 2006-2007 season.
12. The horrific start to the Billy Gillispie era.

Weathering all of these unfortunate events, you have Ramel Bradley. 'Smooth' has been through it all, and sporting that crazy smile along the way. As Kentucky has seemingly (hopefully) turned things around this season, Ramel has grown into a complete team leader. Everybody knows that Smooth has always had the emotion of leader, but now his play is backing it up.

Ramel Bradley may not be recognized in the annals of U.K. history with the same regard as the Unforgettable's, but his contribution and dedication to the program should be remembered.

In recognition of his play in last weeks' wins over Tennessee and South Carolina, Ramel was named as the S.E.C. Player of the Week.

Senior Bowl Blues

The Senior Bowl didn't exactly go as planned for the four Kentucky Wildcats that took part in the game. Wesley Woodyard probably came out of the game in the best shape. The S.E.C.'s leading tackler led the south squad with six tackles, although Woodyard missed a key tackle late in the game.

Rafael Little started the game for the south squad, and even carried the ball on the south's first offensive possession. In the practices leading up to the game, Rafael won a lot of praise from the coaches and scouts. During the game, Little made a poor decision on choosing to catch a punt that was going over his head. After bobbling the ball, he did manage to make up several of the yards. Unfortunately, Little did not return to the game in the second half after sustaining an injury.

Jacob Tamme also started for the south team. Tamme made the first reception for his squad, but shortly after was involved in a Colt Brennan interception. Tamme finished the game with two catches.

Andre' Woodson had a tough go of things in the Senior Bowl. Andre' was the second quarterback used by the south squad. After reportedly struggling in the practices throughout the week, Woodson made two key mistakes during the game which may have hurt his draft status. The first being a fumble and the second by taking a sack in the end zone for a safety. Woodson did throw the south's first touchdown. Most analysts are now predicting Woodson to be taken in the second round of the NFL draft.

Long time reader...

What's up Cleveland!!! What? Oh, hey Lexington, I am a long time reader, 1st time blogger, so bear with me as I get my flow correct. That being said, I will try to contribute a fresh-ish vibe to this blog, while holding up the high bar set by the fine gentlemen that started this blog.

On with the show!!!!

In the vein of the great movies that have been out, I will go with another Denzel action piece. Man on Fire. Brief summary via IMDB:

In Mexico City, the former CIA assassin and presently an alcoholic decadent man John Creasy (Denzel Washington) is hired by the industrialist Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony), with the recommendation of his old friend Rayburn (Christopher Walken), to be the bodyguard of his young daughter Pita (Dakota Fanning) and his wife Lisa (Radha Mitchell). Pita changes the behavior of the cold Creasy, making him live and smile again, and he feels a great affection for her. When the girl is kidnapped Creasy swears to kill each one responsible for the abduction.

Kick back and check this one out. Great lines, great music and Christopher Walken.

Senior Bowl moments, W. Woodyard played great, Tamme had a couple of catches, Little ran alright and Andre had a good touchdown pass but fumbled and took a safety. Most importantly, the UK players were sporting some new looking decals on their helmets. Is that a sign of new merchandise? We will let you know when we find out more news.

That is my final word.

Training Day

Continuing my series of examing movies that have been out for a while, we look at "Training Day".

This movie is awesome. Denzel is a great actor, but he's almost always in a role where he's the typical good guy. In this film, he is most assuredly not the typical good guy.

He plays an undercover cop that has to take a promising young police officer (Ethan Hawke) around the block a few times to see if he can cut the mustard as a narc. Denzel spends the whole day messing with Hawke's head and driving him around some of the scarier parts of town, trying to see if he has what it takes to deal with the drug dealers and users of the world. His tactics are unethical. His language is crude. He is a bully. And, he has a pimptastic ride.

In short, he's awesome.

Ethan Hawke's character struggles with the reality that being a narc means having intimate knowledge of drugs and perhaps bending the rules of good police officering every now and then. But, in the best scene in the movie, the situation Hawke struggles with most will have you leaning forward on your couch and hoping like hell he can extricate himself from one of the scariest and most tense couple of minutes of cinematic history.

If you watch this movie and don't think it's one of the best you've ever seen I'll come to your house and give you ten dollars.
