We’re on Day 5 of ‘Cover Song Month’ and we are just getting started.
It’s rare to see an iconic band cover another iconic band’s song. In this case, Weezer covers Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android”…and it is amazeballs.

Cover Song Month: Jimmy Eat World – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Cover Song Month: Josh Krajcik – “Folsom Prison Blues”
Josh Krajcik first came on the scene when he auditioned for “The X-Factor” in 2011. His audition went viral and ended up being the runner-up during the show’s first season in the U.S.
I first saw him play at Woodlands Tavern in Columbus, Ohio in 2009. I was surprised to see him on The X-Factor, but the guy can sing. Here’s his cover of Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”.
Cover Song Month: Bad Rabbits – “Sextape”
This is not the first time Bad Rabbits appeared during “Cover Song Month”. They covered The Smashing Pumpkins track “1979” and we included it in last year’s feature.
This year, we’re featuring their cover of “Sextape” by Deftones. It’s one our favorite covers in recent memory.
Cover Song Month: Banquise – “Round And Round”
August is ‘Cover Song Month’ on AmericasWhiteBoy.com.
We did this last year and we had a blast sharing some of our favorite cover songs.
Banquise is a French band, which makes their cover of a Ratt song (“Round And Round”) much more impressive. Who knew an iconic 80’s hair-metal song can be made into an indie track that sounds fresh.

[VIDEO] Arena Football Player Does ‘People’s Elbow’ as Touchdown Celebration
The Utah Blaze is a team in the Arena Football League (oh, that AFL still exists?). Utah’s LaVaughn Macon runs a kickoff return for a touchdown in a 48-46 win over the Cleveland Gladiators, then something amazing happens…a teammate knocks him down and proceeds to do the “People’s Elbow” move made popular by WWE superstar The Rock.
VIDEO: Matt Harvey Asks New Yorkers about Matt Harvey
This is fantastic.It’s proof that even diehard New York Mets fans who follow the baseball cannot even recognize their favorite baseball player without his hat. Matt Harvey has thrown less than 20 starts in Major League Baseball, but you would think this would be a slam dunk, right?
I’m guilty of this. It wasn’t in person, but when I saw Wade Boggs without his hat, I didn’t recognize him. Granted, it was on a commercial in which he used a product to regrow his hair. I don’t think it matters, baseball players just look weird without a baseball hat.
‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ has really cranked it up since Fallon was named future host of ‘The Tonight Show’. I hope the show doesn’t change and make the mistake Conan did when he took over the reins. The decision to move ‘The Tonight Show’ back to New York City will help bring new life to the program. NBC will miss having the guests Los Angeles can provide, but they’ll make do with having both its late-night shows based in NYC (I didn’t really count Carson Daly’s show, because only two or three people watch it).
By the way, Matt Harvey will be starting pitcher for the National League team in this week’s MLB All-Star Game.
MLB: J.A. Happ Hit In Head By Line Drive [VIDEO]
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was hit in the head by a line drive by Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings. He was taken off the field on a stretcher.
Happ is in stable condition at a St. Petersburg-area hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery and he is in our thoughts.

Youtube Gold: Puscifer – “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Maynard James Keenan has an ability to turn a side-project into a great band that can stand alone. Keenan is best known for Tool, but he’s also a part of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
Everyone on the site loves a great cover song. Last year, we even had a full month of daily cover songs. Many bands have attempted to cover Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, but Puscifer nailed it.
If you’re a fan of corny music videos, you will enjoy this one.
What If “Breaking Bad” Debuted in 1995? [Video]
I love when people are creative on YouTube.
The YouTube user GoesToEleven, who earlier released a video of the 1995-style opening credits for “The Walking Dead”,has done it again. This time he uses the television show “Breaking Bad”.
This is the best thing on the internet right now.
NBA: Top 10 Best White Boy Dunks Ever
The movie “White Men Can’t Jump” didn’t help the stereotype that most white guys are un-athletic.I have had this blog for a few years and I cannot believe that I have never thought of posting ‘white guy slam dunk’ videos. There have been a lot of pale NBA players have graced us with fantastic dunks. Tom Chambers and Rex Chapman had awesome dunks and helped pave the way for Brent Barry to win the Slam Dunk contest…but let’s not fool anyone, the stereotype still exists.
I scoured YouTube in search of the best videos of white boys throwing it down in the NBA. I picked a few iconic dunks and a couple that have happened recently. I excluded many amazing dunks that happened in college, because I could make a top 50 post with those.
Here’s the ten best videos of “white guys dunking in the NBA”…I added a special video at the end. Continue reading
10 Videos of Skip Bayless Being a “Douchebag” [Updated]
Last year, I posted a collection of ten videos of Skip Bayless either being a gasbag or getting called out for being a comment troll. During the transition from Blogger to WordPress, the videos were lost in the process. It gives me a chance to update the post.
It was great timing since Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman hit Skip Bayless with a verbal piledriver this week on ESPN ‘First Take. Sherman went from speaking facts on why he’s better than Darelle Revis to attacking Bayless personally. I have a feeling many professional athletes around the country are giving Sherman a standing ovation.
Here is an updated list of ten videos of Skip Bayless being a total douchebag. Continue reading
