****WARNING: THIS FAVE 5 IS FROM THE WEST COAST, THEREFORE IT IS COMPLETELY UNCENSORED!****
5. Center Ice DJs
Snoop Dogg was at the NHL’s All Star Competition on Saturday to kick things off west coast style. The Doggfather was posted up at center ice playing some of his classic tracks as players skated onto the ice. The NHL All Star game was live from L.A. at the Staples Center and the thing hockey fans learned about the west coast and Snoop-a-loop is that things on the left coast are laid back and nobody has time for censorship. That is why as players skated to the ice they were greeted with the original version of Snoop and Dr. Dre’s classic track “Next Epsiode” complete with MF’s and other censored for radio slang.
4. Counter Programming Your Boss
Conor McGregor charged people money for people to watch him get interviewed on internet pay per view and had an auditorium of thousands in Manchester, England on Saturday night at the same time UFC was presenting a live fight card from Denver on Fox. In what was a glorfied Reddit AMA, McGregor took the opportunity to make a little cash and build hype around his potential fight with Floyd Mayweather. McGregor also teased a WWE appearance and called out the UFC. Only true mega stars can swing this type of thing. One day, when my hype has built to Mac levels, you bet your ass I will be holding a live Q&A on worldwide pay per view during Bumper to Bumper Sports with Ben Love!
3. Valentina Shevchenko
Bullet earned a title shot against Amanda Nunes on Saturday night with a vicious armbar victory over Juliana Pena. Even more impressive than her submission prowess was her dancing prowess.
2. Super Bowl Prop Bets
Let’s not kid ourselves, the main reason we all watch the Super Bowl is not for a love of football, but because we are a nation of degenerates who love to gamble. From the squares and over/under bets to the amazing prop bets you can make on Super Bowl Sunday, there is something for every type of morally decayed individual. Me, I have $100 on Lady Gaga’s hair color. Come on purple!
1. John Cena
After winning his 16th world championship last night, John Cena is now one of only two men involved in the argument for “who is the greatest wrestler of all time.” Ric Flair and John Cena. That’s it. Anyone else throwing any other name into that conversation is reaching.
