I fully appreciate all the hard work that Maxim Magazine puts in every year to identify the 100 hottest chicks on the planet. Really, there are no right or wrong answers to these lists, just opinions on beauty. That being said, here is my take on this list ( http://www.maxim.com/hot100/2013 ) while qualifying that clearly my wife would be #1 on any list.
#1 Mila Kunis - She has the right amount of sex appeal spliced with a killer sense of humor. I feel like you could pretty much talk to her about anything and she wouldn't blow you off. For example, watch this video:
#2 Christina Hendricks - Her red hair absolutely drives me wild. The fact that she hocks hard whiskey is a major positive. The fact that she carries actual curves as a woman is a major turn on as well.
#3 Eva Mendes - Eva was in the movie that my wife and I were watching the night we got engaged (Hitch). Maybe it's her mole that does it for me, because I also use to have a thing for Cindy Crawford. I love the tan skin as well. Another girl who seems like she could eat a meal with me.
#4 Katy Perry - Ummmmm, have you seen her schnoobs? I mean those are how do you say large and in charge? Also, bonus hot singing voice. She also carries off odd colored hair well.
#5 Elisha Cuthbert - Always one of my favorites going all the way back to her role as a reformed porn star in the movie "The Girl Next Door". Perfect body proportions and throaty voice.
#6 Jennifer Love Hewitt - I've got a "Party of Five" in my pants....I forgive her for the Garfield Movie.
#7 Daniella Alonso - Totally exotic looking and currently starring on A TV show "Revolution" that I watch every week.
#8 Joanna Krupa - I've actually met her a couple times and she was very down to earth. She is completely competitive and once told Terell Owens off on live TV.
#9 Sofia Vergara - Sweet Lord is her accent hot...I mean seriously, can I adopt her?
#10 Danielle Fishel - She'll always be Topanga to me....I mean what guy didn't grow up wanting to take Topanga to prom?
Anyone can give you a write-up of the 32 players who will go in the 1st round of Thursday's NFL Draft. Only one person will take the time to assess the 32 best fast food restaraunts on the planet.
1. Chik-Fil-A - Chicken Sandwich, Waffle Fries, and Fresh squeezed lemonade. It's simple and yet so perfect. Admit it that you could crush one of those 100 nugget trays with the honey mustard all by yourself. Also admit that you always find yourself craving Chik-Fil-A on the one day that they are closed, Sunday.
2. Whataburger - While the food has started to get a bit pricey, the customization and million different sandwich combinations is applauded. Bonus points for permanently placing the A-1 Thick and Hearty burger on the menu.
3. Frenchy's Chicken - The Best Fried Chicken in town, bar none. This is a staple stop for me before UH football games. The chicken is awesome while their honey biscuits will give you diabetes.
4. Cane's Chicken Fingers - These are a Louisiana Staple that have finally found their way into the Houston area. They do one thing (chicken fingers) and they do it well. They also are pretty much the only joint that doesn't over salt their fries.
5. Nathan's Hotdogs - I know people down here swear by JCI (James Coney Island) ,and I have no beef with JCI, but Nathan's makes the best hot dog in America, bar none.
6. Freebirds - My personal favorite place to go for burritos, some day you should bet a friend $100 that he can't finish the Super Monster Burrito. Even if you lose the bet, watching him suffer is well worth the cash.
7. Sonic - Happy Hour 1/2 price slushies are the best, and I am akso a fan of their cheesie tots, and any sandwich served on the Texas Toast.
8. Sbarro - The only one of these I've seen in Houston is at the Galleria, but this is a staple for me in New York City and Las Vegas. A nice greasy slice, and some addictive breadsticks with ranch and marinara.
9. Dunkin Donuts - On the strength of its coffee alone, this regular breakfast stomping grounds penetrates my top 10.
10. Beck's Prime - They make a tasty burger and a rich shake, but I can almost pay for a steak dinner at their prices.
11.Firehouse Subs - Quality hot sandwiches with the added bonus of the "suicide" soda fountain at which you can try about 200 different kinds of drinks. The Hawaiian sandwich is my personal favorite here.
12. Chacho's - The king of late night fare in Houston. The half, black and white burrito with a side of chips and queso is the perfect hangover preventer.
13. Tornado Taco - If you haven't had their bacon breakfast tacos, you are failing at life.
14. Jack In The Box - Bonus points for the clever commercials and the curly fries. Negative points for eliminating the Original Patty Melt.
15. Potbelly - The Italian with all the spicy peppers is one of the best sandwiches you can buy.
16. Popeyes - I'll never complain if I am handed a box of the extra spicy with some dirty rice.
17. Double Daves Pizza - Pepperoni Rolls are fantastic with marinara to dip, but the real treat here is the cheesesteak stromboli and the cookie dough dessert pizza.
18. KFC - I dabbled in KFC a bit when they had those chicken snacker things going for a while. I quit going when they decided to jam everything they have in the resteraunt into a styrofoam bowl.
19. Boston Market- Their sweet cornbread rules and their quarter chicken, meatloaf, and cinnamon apples keep me coming back for more.
20. Chipotle - A solid burrito option, though sometimes I am skeptical of their chicken. I prefer the barbacoa with the awesome hot salsa.
21. Arby's - I'm pretty sure I haven't eaten at an Arby's since college. While I seem to remember that a beef and cheddar was a decent sandwich, I also remember that they served something called a "Jamocha" shake. For some reason I did not care for that word even though I am sure it meant coffee flavored.
22. McDonald's - I think you pretty much only go here if you have kids. The Quarter pounder with cheese is ok, but you feel like crap the rest of the day after you eat it. They still have the best french fries in America. Oatmeal and coffee are surprisingly above average for breakfast.
23. Grandy's - I don't know if this place still exists, but it had a cinnamon roll that I might leave my wife for.
24. Dairy Queen - I'll happily eat the ice cream, but who the hell wants to eat their food?
25. Carls Jr - I still have yet to eat at one of these places, but they make the list because of these commercials.
26.Taco Cabana - Not as good as Chachos in my eyes, but they always serve breakfast and have fantastic tortillas.
27. Panera Bread - What, you have to take grandma to lunch? Awful...
28.Pizza Hut - The proliferation of pizza places has pretty much killed this place. I'm willing to bet that 99% have eaten Pizza Hut zero times this year.
29. Wendy's - They put mayonnaise on everything which pretty much sucks, but I do dig a chocolate frosty. Their fries are also way below average.
30.Taco Bell- I guess if I was really starving, or I wanted to make a new enemy, I would take someone to this hell hole.
31. Long John Silvers - I'm sorry, but I just don't think seafood at a fast food place is in the best interest of your short or long term health.
32. Burger King - Of the mega big chains, this is by far the worst. I've never heard of a fast food joint that could f*** up a French Fry, but somehow the King manages. Only their commercials save them from the bottom of my draft board.
The US Men's Soccer Team scored a much needed 1-0 victory Friday night in a blizzard versus Costa Rica. The Costa Ricans have filed a protest saying the match should have been abandoned due to the blizzard. The US sits in 2nd place in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying group with a game at Mexico up Tuesday night.
One of the highlights of my trip to Las Vegas this weekend was touring the brand new Tri-Star Sports Memorabilia shop at the Miracle Mile shops. These are guys that put on the huge show every January in Houston and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with their collection. Here are a few pictures that I took while I was browsing (and possibly purchasing, don't tell wife).
It's not that I was impressed that Tri-Star had a Brooks Reed jersey, it was more so that someone would pay $500 for an autographed Brooks Reed jersey. Cushing, Foster, Watt, and Schaub jerseys were
also readily available as was an Earl Campbell Oilers jersey and a Warren Moon CFL jersey.
It still looks weird to have The Big Puma associated with the Cardinals, and I suppose it will be just as strange this season when he is playing for the Texas Rangers.
For all of you Aggies out there, this John David Crow jersey might have been of interest. They also had Von Miller and Ryan Tanneyhil jerseys available. I can only imagine Johnny Heisman merchandise is about 365 days away.
If you are a Cleveland Browns fan, your options for purchase were Jim Brown and this guy Colt McCoy. I bet you can guess which one was more expensive.
Who buys a punter's jersey? Would Ray Guy even buy Ray Guy merchandise for his own family?
I'm a huge fan of the boxing gear and the idea of a "Big Daddy" Riddick Bowe robe or "Irish" Mickey Ward is awfully enticing. Bowe might have been the most talented heavyweight of his era, but just lost it between his ears. It's too bad that Bowe never got in the ring with either Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis, the other true heavyweights of the era.
I can't believe they were able to find a pair of Arturo Gatti's trunks that did not have blood all over them.
Finally, what jersey collection is complete without an autographed "Willie Beamen" shirt autographed by Jamie Fox. I myself purchased one of the autographed jerseys in the store and will tweet out a picture as soon as it arrives in the mail. If you don't follow on twitter, you should! https://twitter.com/MJ4Sports .
Apparently Arnold Schwartzenneger did not like the line "I'll be back" as Terminator director James Cameron suggested. Conan O'Brien came up with some of Arnold's alternatives.
