Olympic Update: 8/14/08

China is doing a fantastic job putting on these games.  I don’t care if they are Communist.  I don’t care if they won’t free Tibet.  And I don’t care if they don’t like Joey Cheek, although I never met the guy, Prez G-dub says he’s a good man.  Kudos to China for putting on a great spectacle. 
Also, […]

The Greatest Story of 2008: Even Chubby Would Be Proud

Knowing that people out there still love and appreciate “Teen Wolf” brings great joy to my heart, similar to the way Boof made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. And so we have the story of the former Greg White - now Stylez G. White.

Mr. White is a defensive end for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers who decided to honor “Wolf Fever” by officially changing his name to Stylez G. White. So it’s not EXACTLY the same way that “Stiles” spelled it in the movie, but close enough. After all, the original Stiles was the inspiration behind the legal name change for Mr. White. In particular, the classic performance of “Win In The End” that plays during the final championship basketball game scene most likely won him over.

Stylez G. White, I salute thee. If I was Scotty, I would tear open a beer with my wolf chompers in your honor. Thank you for passing on the love of an 80’s pop culture legend to a new generation. I know Chubby would be proud.
