They say that the third time is the charm, right? The second attempt at NHL hockey in Atlanta certainly wasn’t.

Barclay’s Premier League
May 11, 2011
About time to get off that black coffee study diet and onto that Whiiite. Big events happened in the sporting world since my last post — the Masters, the NFL draft and lockout, the NBA and NHL playoffs and MLB season started, Kentucky Derby, and, most importantly, India won the Cricket World Cup — but law school doesn’t allow much time for blogging. I’ll now take my pretentious cap off and give you 3 reasons why you should care about perhaps the best domestic sports league in the world, the English Premier League (yes, Greg, that’s soccer.)
Happy March, Y’all
March 15, 2011
It’s been a minute since I hopped on a That Whiiite post, and I’m not about to write a full-length feature just yet, but here are my predictions for the Elite 8, Final Four, and Nat’l Championship. It’s too bad DJ Kennedy of St. John’s was lost for the season in the Big East Tourney — I would have enjoyed seeing a Johnnies run in the Big Dance, but a first round exit to the Adam Morrisons is more likely than an Elite Eight appearance for the Queens squad.
Lil’ Wayne – Green and Yellow
February 4, 2011
Absolute silliness. Glad to see he can still have fun even if this is phoned in. Check out the Whiiite SB prediction!
DL: Lil’ Wayne – Green and Yellow (320 kbps)
Bonus:
DL: Lil’ Wayne – Kobe Bryant (192 kbps)
Similar: Lil’ Wayne – Six Foot Seven Foot
Black & Yellow, Green & Yellow, etc.

According to a Penn Schoen Berland (…) poll, the Super Bowl is the second most important day of the year for American males (Christmas is first). Let’s ignore what that poll, if true, says about our society and let’s focus on THE BEST SUPER BOWL MATCHUP IN YEARS.
NYC: Personified
January 27, 2011
New Yorkers have sports options. If you grew up within an hour of New York City, chances are you have friends who are Jets fans or Giants fans, Yankees fans or Mets fans. The Devils take some shine away from the Rangers. But the Knicks are uniquely New York’s team. (What? There’s a team called the Nets?)
Rodgers, Cutler, Sanchez, & Roethlisberger, LLC
January 20, 2011
Whoa, a hell of a divisional round.
The weekend started with the Steelers erasing a 21-7 halftime deficit to defeat rival Baltimore. With less than two minutes to go in the fourth, and the score tied at 24, Ben Roethlisberger tossed a 58-yard dime to rookie Antonio Brown, which set up Rashard Mendenhall’s go-ahead score. Three turnovers in the 3rd quarter and huge drops by WR acquisitions Anquan Boldin (in the endzone) and TJ Houshmanzadeh (on 4th down) ensured that the Steelers escaped with a 31-24 victory.

My Favorite Tracks of the Past Week: 1/9/2011
January 9, 2011
I’m a 49ers fan, but I gotta give props to the Seahawks for reppin’ the NFC West the right way. Pete Carroll can go bury himself alive for all I care, but that’s how you shut up an entire legion of armchair fans talking about redoing the playoff system to specifically fuck over the NFC West. Us mediocre motherfuckers ain’t goin’ anywhere, god. 7-9 = so divine. Now I’m stuck waiting until January of 2012, when Jim Harbaugh will cruise to the promise land with an “exceptional” 8-8 record and the first home playoff game for the San Francisco 49ers in NINE FUCKING YEARS. Why do I watch sports? Oh yeah, Amar’e better.
Speaking of Amar’e, he probably doesn’t deserve MVP, but I hope he wins it just to spite y’all. And by y’all, I mean Bulls fans. There’s no team I hate in sports as much as the Bulls. Derrick Rose is overrated and will never win anything in his life and Carlos Boozer is a fifth-tier star. Joakim good tho. Keep making excuses for your team because you don’t have an all-star at every position. You’ve been given every chance in the world ever since drafting Elton Brand and have been “the next great team” since then, only to habitually blow it ever year. Please Bulls fans, tell me when the goose with the golden eggs is coming? When The Big 3 retire? When The Miami Big 3 retire? When Dwight Howard leaves your conference? When you sign another star to complement the four max-contract guys you have now? When Kobe, Blake Griffin and Bernard King are traded to your team and MJ comes out of retirement? We don’t believe you, you need more people.
Anyway, glad to see y’all are enjoying the site. Best week yet so far. Sal’s killing it with his posts and the mix Adam posted is sick. Def wanna try to get some different music going this week – got the Janelle Monae album on deck right now and just copped that John Legend/Roots album that fell completely under the radar. More silly single reviews and such, too. As always, we’re looking for writers, so throw us an e-mail at whiiitethoughts@gmail.com if you’re interested.
ANYWAY, here are my favorite tracks I posted here this week. Anyone else writing here, feel free to throw in yours, too:
Avicii v. Kings of Leon – Abow v. Sex On Fire
2010-11 Bowl Championship Series
December 7, 2010
I couldn’t contain my excitement for the 2010-11 BCS bowl games (mostly because last year’s matchups brought the wackness), and I’d rather be providing my services pro bono to That’s Whiiite than studying for law school exams, so here goes analysis and pre-spread predictions for the holiday bowl season (spread updates after Christmas).
