Here We Go Again
And I’m back to tear it up
Haters, start your engines
I hear ‘em gearin’ up
People talk so much shit about me at barbershops
They forget to get their haircut

All this talk about how he isn’t the same Michael Phelps we saw in Beijing. They’re right, this isn’t the same swimmer. But you’d be crazy to expect a 2008 repeat of eight gold medals or a 2004 haul of six gold and two bronze.
Michael Phelps is four years older and by all accounts less medal hungry. Yet Phelps just anchored a gold-medal relay to capture his Olympic-record 19th medal. The reports of Phelps’ death are greatly exaggerated.
I’m Hugo’s Boss
Class back in session so I up’t it a grade
Two years the Dwayne Wayne became the Dwyane Wade
And A
Please don’t start me
I’m like Gnarls Barkley meets Charles Barkley
I’m pop the barkers, I’m hood like parkers
While you all was in limbo I raised the bar up

A Toast for the Haters
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags
Let’s have a toast for the assholes
Let’s have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let’s have a toast to the jerkoffs
That’ll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
— Kanye West, Runaway (2010)
Joe Flacco has been murdered locally and criticized nationally. The scrutiny is by no means baseless but the intensity is surprising. On Sunday night Flacco made another crucial mistake and lost a fumble in Heinz Field. Instead of being mentally taken out of the game he led the Ravens on a game winning 92-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes of play — a drive that would have made Johnny U proud. The questions are far from answered and we all know the NFL is week to week. If Flacco doesn’t follow this up with a strong performance in Seattle than the same demons come rushing back. But for now I’d like to have a toast for the Flacco haters.

Our Work Is Never Over
Now that that don’t kill me
can only make me stronger.
I need you to hurry up now
cause I can’t wait much longer.

The Good Life
Is the good life better than the life I live
when I thought that I was gonna go crazy?
And now my grand-mamma ain’t the only girl calling me baby.
— T-Pain, The Good Life (2007)
I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
— Kanye West
No one coach should have all that swagger.
