In honor of this week of madness talking about balls... no, not those kind... I've put together a little playlist celebrating the glory that is Deflate-Gate (AKA Ballghazi). Incidentally..my personal favorite headline of the week.. courtesy of the NY Daily News obv..
And before we get to the tunes... let's revisit the supercut to end all supercuts..
Why, Tommy? Whyyyyyyy?
Also..for a real good time click on this Facebook post from Brady and then scroll through the comments. The memes people have come up with are just fantastic..
Some of my favorites..
Ok.. onto the music..
10. Ball of Confusion (Temptations)
An obscure one.. but actually pretty nasty. (Though nothing to do with actual balls)
9. Something in the Air (Thunderclap Newman)
Hello, Newman...
8. Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus)
Since I can't in good conscience post a Miley Cyrus video here, let's check out a better remake...
7. Cannonball (The Breeders)
#ilovethe90s
6. Ball N Chain (Janis)
Because as a Pats fan, I need some Blues on this list.
Speaking of Edelman..this lil video should give Pats fans hope that the team will indeed rally around this and take care of business next Sunday.. at least.. that's what I keep telling myself.
4. Under Pressure (Queen and David Bowie)
::crying inside::
3. Weigh (Phish)
5 lbs? 6 lbs? 7 lbs? No.. 2. Two measley PSI. Didn't make a lick of difference in the game..but that's all irrelevant now...
1. TGIF As awesome as this is, I have a sad feeling it's fake. It's just too perfect to not be a set-up... From HuffPost:
Humankind is capable of incredible kindness.
We have also shown the capacity to be mercilessly callous. For evidence of this, look at this gif, which was posted to Reddit on Wednesday:
2. Going Down?
And you thought getting out of The Garden was a pain, check out these poor suckers in Sweden. Thankfully, police figured out a way to get everyone out quickly and on their merry way.
At Hollywood’s biggest party of the year, the Golden Globes, we took to the streets (of the red carpet) to find out how much fun the attendees were already having.
Although I have to say, I am a little dissapointed in the test results. In the stars' defense, they probably were pacing themselves because they knew they were about to sit through an incredibly long and painful awards show where the booze would be flowing heavily. On the plus side, just when you thought Jeff Goldblum couldn't look any weirder... this happened .
Of course, if you are really interested in the details of the ceremony, there's only one man truly up to the task. Our good pal Price Peterson from Tv.Com. My personal favorite:
I loved it when Melissa McCarthy came out to introduce one of the Best Picture nominees, St. Vincent, and this was the reaction on Bill Murray's face.
Because one of the main objectives of TDS is to bring you useful information you might not even realize you needed to know.. this week's PSA covers a question that deep down, you always wanted to ask..but were too afraid to. Don't worry, you can click on the link.. I won't judge you.
MILTON (CBS) — Protesters chained to cement barrels and locking arms inside plastic tubing shut down parts of Interstate 93 in Milton and Medford during the Thursday morning rush hour.
Chanting “Black Lives Matter,” some activists created major traffic delays in the area by attaching themselves to 1,200-pound barrels unloaded from a white box truck in East Milton Square at about 7:30 a.m. Police arrested 27 protesters on charges of trespassing, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and they will appear in Somerville District Court later Thursday.
But perhaps one tidbit you didn't hear, is just how dedicated these people were. I mean, it truly shows that if you want to affect change, you have to be able to go that extra mile.
Massachusetts State Police said several protesters in Milton were found to be wearing adult diapers, indicating that they planned to say on the highway for a long time.
Yes, that's right. This Revolution may be televised, but it does not stop spinning for you to go to the bathroom. Like the Boy Scouts say... be prepared.
But proving that no press is bad press, I ate my first meal at McDonald's today in at least a year. Maybe I'm just a mindless sucker, powerless against the persuasions of subliminal messaging, but either way, damn, those fries still taste good!

9. Flashback of the Week
Hey, remember when Planet Hollywood was a thing? (Yes, I had forgotten too). Luckily, our friends over at Esquire did not forget at all.
Bomber jackets, vests, and Jean-Claude Van Damme galore.
For people of a certain age, Planet Hollywood was the epitome of cool in the early '90s. Half-restaurant, half-movie museum, the franchise opened its first location in New York in 1991, and over the next several years a number of high-profile opening events were held as new locations popped up around the world. Planet Hollywood was to film what the Hard Rock Cafe was to music, but unlike the chain after which its success was modeled, Planet Hollywood was backed by the era's most prominent movie stars, from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone to Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. They cast themselves as the faces of the franchise, and whenever a new restaurant sprung up, you could bet all the stars were going to come out and celebrate the occasion
You shouldn't need any more reason to click that above link to check out the slideshow.. but if this isn't your computer wall paper by the end of the day, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.
Riiiiigs! Riiiigs! Goddamn it you told me Chess King was in! I'm gettin too old for this shit.
