widely unknown marketing extraordinaire

4 out of 5 stars for Dr. Dre’s Monster iBeat headphones. Besides the sleek design and the “b” on the outside of the ear piece, beats has sold me on sound quality. Bass pounds and vocals still remain clear. Being quite rare in comparison to other manufactures such as SkullCandy, Sony, and surprisingly Bose; home trails thanks to my local Best Buy. 1 star was left out which would have made these headphones perfect. The compatibility issue with my android smartphone restricts me to use the remote control on the speaker piece; hence the “i” before ibeats, restricting functionality to just iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Worth the $ and worth the $15 Black Tie Protection plan, because I’m constantly plugged in.

how appropriate…

Once again I am fortunate enough to attend another game at the old Meadowlands. If rumors are true, they are building a bigger and better stadium right next door that will literally dwarf the old. It has been 2 years since my last visit, when the Giants hosted the Atlanta Falcons and I was lucky enough to be sitting only 3 rows back from the infamous Micheal Vick. Now besides all the convictions he went thru, the man had some serious talent and I found myself rooting for him and his 25 yard playaction roll-outs. With the defending NFC champions in town this Sunday the Giants will have to bring their losing anger after last weeks shlacking by the Saints. I’ll post some picks when I get back…and by the way, go Yanks!

One little thing that Golf teaches you is self-discipline; either you play the game or the game plays you. After 54 holes of the PGA Championship, the game seemed to be eating away at Tiger; shots were long, putts were misjudged, and clubs were tossed. As an avid golfer myself I can relate, yet for Tiger much more is on the line. Now I ask you golf enthusiast this, can the game actually be beat or is it just a battle with yourself?
