Republicans Finally Grow Some Balls (no homo)

The House rejects the $700B bailout and the stocks continue to tumble. About 130 Republicans and 90 Democrats voted against a bill that would of given the federal govt too much power over the $700B. I guess they could see that Bush just wants to use the money to bail out his rich azz friends. In the immortal words of Young Jeezy on the song My President is Black..."We need a miracle, cuz this shyt is hysterical..."

Redskins leave Texas Stadium with a fond memory

Barring a playoff meeting, the Washington Redskins made their final visit to Texas Stadium on Sunday. And after a 26-24 victory that doesn't even begin to tell the story, they pretty much left the Cowboys' defense in ruin. Today news for your reading pleasure.

How bout them cowgirls...SIKE!

Looks like TO is crying again as the mighty REDSKINS beat the cowgirls 26-24. Nuff said...

Free Money from BigBoyFloyd!

Hello faithful followers of Da Locker Room! Due to popular demand, BigBoyFloyd is here to improve your cash flow with the long overdue debut of "BigBoyFloyd's Football Picks". The way this will work is I will take 3-5 games every week with the spreads and GIVE YOU THE WINNERS! You roll with my picks to Las Vegas, (where betting is legal of course) and BigBoyFloyd will have your pockets stacked! Here are this weeks 3 picks:

Washington Redskins +11 vs. Dallas Cowboys -11 Over/Under 46.5

The past few games in this rivalry have been pretty close, and I'd expect no less in this game so that should tell you the way BigBoyFloyd's money will be going. Take the Redskins and the 11 points, and also take the under, both defenses are solid, this will be a 24-17, 23-20 type game.

Philadelphia Eagles -3 vs. Chicago Bears +3 Over/Under 40

McNabb's hurting, Westbrook's hurting and may have to sit this one out. For the most part the tough Bears defense of 2 years ago looks to be back, although in the 2 losses they have self-destructed in the 4th quarter. Take "Da Bears" and the 3 points, although they wont need it because they will win the game outright! Also take the under, smells like a 17-13, maybe even lower.

Baltimore Ravens +6 ve. Pittsburgh Steelers -6 Over/Under 34

The Ravens defense is healthy and as strong as ever in this early season. The Steelers defense is also strong, and will need to be without Wille Parker in this game for them at running back. This will be a tough defensive battle, each team may even score a defensive touchdown. 6 points is too much to give up without Willie Parker against a great defensive team who could win the game outright without the points. Take the Ravens and the 6 points, also take the over, factoring in the possibilty of a defensive TD or 2.

Well there you have it, now run to Las Vegas, (and not a bookie, Da Locker Room does not condone illegal betting!)

McCain to attend the Presidential debate

So he finally decided to man up and face Obama. Can't wait to see this.

Lazee Lamont Steps Into Da Locker Room: Part 2

Dmv's own Lazee Lamont (Comedy Central, National Lampoon, BET's Comic View, The Eavesdrop on XM 67 The City) will be back home this weekend performing (see flyer to right) so DLR wanted to holla at him about his thoughts on his journey and his views on life.

Scroll Down for Part 1.

Now that you live in Lala land, has it changed your perception of silicone?

I have never really felt fake ta-tas....well i have felt them but I have never really been a fan of them......I still am not. i like the natural joints.

Has your agent ever tried to get you work in the porn industry? I heard they give great "raises".

I turned down roles in Skeet The Parents, Friday Night Dykes, and The Little Furmaid. I told them my part wasn't big enough....my part in the movie that is.

I told them I would get back to them about HandCock *No Homo*

Who's the baddest (aka phattest) celebrity you seen out in L.A.?

I just was at an event with Vida Guerra last Thursday. Hmmm let me see. I would have to say the video girls, and the groupies that go to the clubs be lookin more vicious then the celebs though. I done been on video shoots wif straight fire donkeys. And people go to the comedy clubs here like they go to the club at home so I done seen a rack of the porno chicks up in the comedy club. Claudia Jordan is pretty tuff in person. Lauren London is blaze. Uhhh Angell Conwell is a stallion. Oh yeah, and I did a movie last year with MYA and Melyssa Ford and they are both the truth!

Do you think republicans are really that stupid or do they just think that everyone else is that stupid?

I think they don't care. Stupidity comes in many forms, but I think they genuinely don't care about people of color and the working poor in this country. We are not on their agenda and they will do anything necessary to protect their so-called 'standard of living.' Picking Palin was a straight tabloid move. It was dumb but might actually work, becuase America has become a tabloid society that is stuck on stupid anyway. He coulda picked New York from flavor of love and prolly got the black and woman vote away from Obama. We are all asleep at the wheel anyway. Sheep. I almost dont want Obama to win because he gon have an impossible job tryna fixing shit.

Do you think Palins daughter is about to have her first or second baby?

That baby is every bit Palin's 2nd granddaughter and I can't wait til that info comes out. The whole thing is a charade. i can't wait for it to get exposed. Bristol look like a freak anyway. You seen them hooters? The ice hockey team at her high school prolly done all ran up and through that igloo!

Do you think that its time for Obama to have a nukka moment to get his point across during the debates?

I dont even think he has to to be honest. All he has to do is be firm and factual like he has been and I think McCane will fall all over himself they way he has been already. McCane is a 'true P.O.W' a Pasty Old Whiteman.

So what kind of topics can the crowd expect to hear from you on Saturday?

Aw man, i'mma touch on quite a bit. I got a lot of new stuff, and my old stuff is new if you have never seen me on stage. Of course, politics, marriage, people, current events, n*gga shit and my favorite--head. The Instant Classic is another one of my branded events that has grown in popularity and puts on display some of the hottest up and coming talent in the area. Its our 4th Comedy & Variety Show that does comedy & variety unlike anybody else is doing. The last three were off the hook and IC4 will be no different. We got Eddie Bryant (1st Ammendment, Comic View: One Mic Stand), Ayanna Dookie (DC Comedy festival, NY Underground Comedy Festival), Tray Chaney (HBO's The Wire), Damo, & Bassey (Def Poetry Jam) among several others coming through. Eats, open bar, DJ, sexy and mature clientele. Its gon be crazy. I must tell you though that YOU CAN NOT GET TIX AT THE DOOR, you must RSVP at www.kevintparker.com/classic come thru!

Whatelse is on the horizon for you in 2008/2009?

I plan on getting my hands in as many projects as possible to further build my brand. You can listen to me every week co-hosting a Talk-show on XM 67 The City called The Eavesdrop, I did two movies with Russ Parr that you will be seeing soon (Something Like A Business / Love For Sale), I plan to get more standup comedy work on the road at clubs and colleges nationwide, I want heavyset cats to start rockin my Husky Swag apparel and I will continue to rep the DMV wherever I go. I want the people to know what time it is whenever you see Lamont King, or Lazee Lamont, or THINKERTAINMENT! on anything!!! Join my e-list and keep track of me at www.lamontking.tv

Unbelievable

Bush and the Republicans have truly ruined and raped this country. An unjust war, letting the Bin Laden and ems out during 9/11, the lack of response to Katrina and the collapse of Wall Street to name a few. So now you can add the demise of one of the largest banks in the country Washington Mutual to the list of failures that have come about due to the 8 years of Bush in the White House and the Republican run Congress 12 out of the last 14 years. WTF? First the Fat Boys break up, now this! *steps down from soapbox*

IS IT POSSIBLE LEBRON??? SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!

There is speculation that LeBron James #23, will be leaving Cleveland and the owner has said that this is an 'insult to the city' What do they expect the man to do if they aren't trying to put the pieces in place to win the big one? I know the Wizard fans would love to see him leave Cleveland before the season even starts. LOL..

Under Center w/ Maly Mal: Week 3

As the season begins to take form, there’s one division that stands head and shoulders above the rest… the NFC East. The division is a combined 10-2, with the two losses coming from divisional foes. In week 3, the Cowboys dismantled the Packers, Philly’s defense dominated the Steelers, the Giants found a way to win (yet again), and the now cocky Washington Redskins made it two in a row by defeating the favored Arizona Cardinals. It’s looking like the late 1980’s/early 1990’s, all over again. Especially when the Miami Dolphins take the New England Patriots behind the woodshed and San Francisco puts up 30+ points. Things seem to always come full circle. Without further adieu, here’s this weeks power ranking:

1. Dallas Cowboys – Browns, Eagles, Packers… Who’s next? (In your best Eddie Murphy ‘Coming to America’ voice) Give Al Harris his spleen back!
2. New York Giants – They just keep on winning. Eli has a flare for the dramatic. Lovely pass to Toomer in OT.
3. Philadelphia Eagles – The Eagles have a championship caliber defense. However, the season rests on the health of McNabb and Westbrook.
4. Denver Broncos – We all know greatness when we see it. Jay Cutler’s on his way!
5. Tennessee Titans – As I always say, you have to give respect, where respect is due. The Titans are 3-0.
6. Buffalo Bills – Once again, another team that’s 3-0. And, with the Lambs, I mean Rams looming, 4-0 shouldn’t be a problem.
7. New England Patriots – This team still has a lot of talent to compete. But, without Tom Brady, the rest of the league’s licking their chops.
8. Green Bay Packers – Mr. Rodgers has been humbled, as all quarterbacks are sooner or later. But, the great ones (like Favre) bounce back.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers – The Eagles exposed the Steelers leaky pass protection. Not good with Baltimore coming to town.
10. San Diego Chargers – The Chargers looked super, after hanging 48 points on the Jets. LaDainian Tomlinson had a spark I haven’t seen since week 15 of last year.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Brian Griese always seems to pull of one or two great games. Then his performance plummets. Let’s see what happens this time.
12. Carolina Panthers – Has the players at the skill positions. But, not enough on the offensive line.
13. Baltimore Ravens – Ray Lewis and the boys look like the defense of old. The offense looks improved. Big divisional test this week when they visit Pittsburgh.
14. Indianapolis Colts – Looks like the Colts are going through a natural NFL evolution process. Hungry to win. Then you win. Then complacency sets in.
15. Jacksonville Jaguars – Could it be possible the Jags were looking forward to week 3 from the beginning? This is the team we expected to see from the start.
16. Washington Redskins – The Redskins have won two in a row. But, I’m not convinced. Beat Dallas and I’ll have to change my tune.
17. Arizona Cardinals – All of that talent and they loss to the Redskins… Typical Cardinals.
18. New Orleans Saints – The Saints put up big numbers every week, but, lost another heartbreaker. Stats mean nothing… Wins mean everything.
19. San Francisco 49ers – It’s nice to see the Niners competing again. They’re finally turning the corner.
20. Seattle Seahawks – Injuries at the wide receiver position has hurt this team. Once Bobby Engram gets back in the lineup, things will turn around.
21. Minnesota Vikings – Gus Frerotte is not the answer. But, he’s better than Travaris Jackson.
22. Chicago Bears – Without Hester’s field position and scoring production, the Bears are relying on Brandon Lloyd to make big plays. That’s not going to cut it.
23. New York Jets – Brett Favre looked old and seemed to not be having too much fun against the Chargers. Maybe you should’ve taken the $20MM, Brett.
24. Atlanta Falcons – Young and entertaining team. They’re ecstatic about being 2-1, but, realistic about their chances.
25. Miami Dolphins – Impressive win against the Patriots. Signs of things to come, not things to be.
26. Houston Texans – The offense is young, and the defense is terrible. Same thing we said last year, and the year before that, and the year before that!
27. Cleveland Browns – Battle Cincinnati for the best of the worst in the AFC North. Brady Quinn’s debut is coming soon.
28. Cincinnati Bengals – They’ve always said losing is a habit. I guess old habits really are hard to break.
29. Detroit Lions – Matt Millen is finally gone. That moves them up a spot in my rankings.
30. Oakland Raiders – Al Davis is at it again, with his meddling. I’m sure he’ll find a way to say it’s an NFL conspiracy before the seasons over.
31. St. Louis Rams – Take your pick as to who’s the worse team in football. I say it’s a tie between the Rams and the…
32. Kansas City Chiefs – They may not win a game this year. REALLY!

1 MORE AND THAT IS 100!!!!! OH NO SAY IT AINT SO!!

Baseball is finally coming to an end this year and the Washington National are about to set a record in DC that hasn't been matched before even by the Washington Senators. Not sure if you know this but there is 162 games a season in baseball and the Washington Nationals are about to lose their 100th game. OMG!!! WTF!!! This is the worst news I've seen all day and DC sports has dropped to a new low. What team in the City wins anything anymore? The Wizards haven't won since the 70's and the Redskins haven't won since 89-90. And now the baseball team we wanted to have so bad is just as dissappointing. Who loses 100 games when your trying to show a new city that your a legit franchise?

PARENTS ARE YOU READY FOR THIS??

Maryland State to revisit tests as graduation requirement. The State Board of Education will decide next month whether to continue requiring high school students to pass standardized tests in order to graduate.

Lazee Lamont Steps into Da Locker Room: Part 1

Dmv's own Lazee Lamont (Comedy Central, National Lampoon, BET's Comic View, The Eavesdrop on XM 67 The City) will be back home this weekend performing (see flyer to right) so DLR wanted to holla at him about his thoughts on his journey and his views on life.

Man I see you hustlin and grindin everywhere...how the hell you get the name Lazee?

That's funny, people always ask me that. I used to have a snappy response like "Well its like when you call a fat man 'slim,' or a tall dude 'shorty,' its like that kinda." But nowadays when I reflect on how far I have come I just tell people the story straight up. 10 years ago when I was a volunteer with WKYS I would have to show up for the morning show to answer phones at 6am, many times after having just left the building at 2am. Long story short, Supaken (already a made-man at KYS by then) used to be like "Lamont, why you always late. You are lazy. I'mma start callin' you Lazy Lamont." It kinda caught on and it stuck. They had no idea that I was walking to work many mornings and many times I was actually asleep on the floor in the other room because I didn't (couldn't) go home. I say couldn't because my parents weren't really happy about me recently leaving college and then volunteering at a radio station, so if I wasn't home before the news went off, pops locked the door...and they took my housekey. I later embraced the 'Lazee' tag and made it work for me since I have such a nonchalant personality anyways.

Are you conscious about establishing your "brand" or does it just come natural?

I'm very conscious about it. In fact I'm having the trickiest time re-establishing my brand. When I left the morning show 4 years ago I wanted to start using my birth name Lamont King, but it was very difficult in the beginning. I had been with WKYS for almost 7 years and with the nationally syndicated Russ Parr Morning Show for nearly 5. It seems like everywhere I went across the country people would make me from the show. Branding is important in any industry. I am a product and I have to constantly market myself to the consumer. Good brand recognition is half of that battle. For me, these days, it depends on where I am at and what I am doing that determines how I introduce or announce myself. The shit is tricky. When I first got out to LA and was working on the radio with John Salley and his morning show, he was like "these rich jews out here don't write nicknames on checks." That was sort of an industry wake-up for me, so in business settings I'm always Lamont King first. Plus I absolutely hate saying "I'm Lazee Lamont" in a room full of white folx!

I heard its like an unspoken competition out in L.A. amongst comics from different areas. Is that true? If so, how would you rank the top 3 cities of funny mofos?
There is comp in every aspect of every career. Especially these days. Times is tight, the oppurtunities aren't as plentiful for Black actors and comedians like there used to be. So people aren't as likely to extend a helping hand like back in the day. I have dealt with some shady individuals in my short 3 years out in L.A. You wouldn't believ the stories I could tell. But on the other hand this is the big leagues, so go hard or go home, you know. This Broadway, not the arena stage. This is the Oscars, this aint the Hoodies. Play or get off the field. I have actually made this observation to myself on many occasions growing up watching comedians and then working around them as one, but I would definitely have to say Chicago, DC, and NY, with St. Louis a close 4th. I put Chicago in front of DC only because of the sheer number of heavy hitters and legends that have come out of the CHI and are still doing it. DC has a specific rep about everything it produces and comedy is no different. People always like to brand DC in a certain category. "Oh you from DC? I bet you like to jone on niggas. Ya'll stay jonin.' Ya'll still listen to that Go-Go out there?!" DC definitely gets respect in the comedy world out here but Chicago IMO edges us out just by volume. But damn that our comedy legends are all known on a first name basis! Tommy, Martin, Wanda, Dave, Quake, Redd, Joe etc

I'm sure you run into a lot of celebrities from A list to D list in L.A...whos on the d-list that swear they on the A list?

Sheeeeeit thats just about everybody! As long as you got a small role in a movie thats out or in a commercial, bammas will hit you with the changeup in a heartbeat. Everybody is always "working on" something. Most of these cats wasn't much in the hometown so they get a few breaks in the business in Hollywood, and they are a star. I feel like I got decent love around the way so that type of status don't really phase me. I'm not mad at nobody though, you only live once. But some of them do be tripping and have had to check a couple. You know them types, see you standing by yourself and won't speak to you, but let you be standing with somebody they want to know and they start acting like ya'll talk on the phone everyday.

Check back into Da Locker Room tomorrow for Part 2.

WEEK 4 NFL RANKINGS!!!!

The Dallas Cowboys lead the pack for the third consecutive week, but suddenly they're crowded by familiar foes. Can you guess what the order is. Or can you guess where the Redskins are ranked.

MATT MILLEN OUT!!!!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME...

I am not even a Detriot Lions fan, and even I knew it was time to say goodbye to General Manager Matt Millen on the left. I think he was the worst Team President and Chief Executive Officer in football history year after year.
