A while back we told you about the Nike-commissioned mix from A-Trak as part of their Original Run series. Here’s the first single, for those of you looking to strap on your jogging shoes or just get the par-tay started. Thanks to Mike for passing this along!
A-Trak - Say Whoa

Adam Yauch/MCA/Nathaniel Hornblower/Cochise is currently promoting his streetball documentary, “Gunnin’ For That Number 1 Spot” and will be stopping by Current TV’s L.A. studios to answer any and all viewer questions. Ask him anything. A-na-thang-a. Ask him what his favorite underwear is. Ask him if he thinks Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams is as weird [...]
Kanye’s favorite Canadian DJ, A-Trak, has joined the ranks of LCD Soundsystem and Aesop Rock to create a mix for Nike’s Original Run campaign. The 45 minute mix, dubbed Running Man, will not only be the DJ’s first full-length production but will also provide his first official single with the release of “Say Whoa.” I guess you might [...]
Upper Deck baseball cards weighed in on the Democratic nomination with this limited-edition parody card. Love it. Check out the full gallery here (the Jackie Robinson/McCain/Obama one is pretty great too).

This picture just about says it all doesn’t it? I mean, I have to admit that I didn’t think the Cs could pull it off but tonight’s 98-88 win has me believing that they might not only win the whole thing but could potentially pull it off in less than seven games. Honestly, before tonight, [...]
Featuring past and future Arizona Wildcats, Jerryd Bayless and Brandon Jennings, this movie looks like streetball at its best and features a new Beastie Boys track as well as Jay-Z and Nas on the soundtrack.

While the West Coast usually gets all the credit for inventing modern-day skateboarding, New York’s role in the evolution of the sport has gone largely undocumented. Deathbowl to Downtown tells the story of how New York street skating developed and grew. Check out the trailer here.
I think I speak for all Celtics fans when I say, “Pheeeew” as I wipe sweat from my brow. After the loss on Friday night, it had gotten way past the point of ‘okay, this isn’t funny anymore.’ The series shouldn’t have gotten this far but all Boston fans should be thankful that Josh Smith, [...]
Terrell Owens Not Sure About This ‘Pac-Man Jones’ Character
IRVING, TX—Upon hearing that team owner Jerry Jones had traded draft picks to the Tennessee Titans for troubled cornerback Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens held a press conference to discuss his personal misgivings…

Bill Simmons hands out his NBA playoff awards. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m guessing there’s at least one Vegas story involving his buddies Jack-O, House, Corky, J-Bug, Turtle and at least one comparison of Rasheed Wallace to Billy Zabka
