I’m obsessed with tight ends that have great hands.

Amazing ball skills.

Guys that aren’t afraid to go up the middle and take a pounding.

…what the f*%k…?

That is no way to attract the kinda readers i’m looking for with this blog.  What i’m really trying to say is that Jordan Reed is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite Redskins.  He’s an incredible talent that is quite possibly the best receiving tight end in the NFL…if you ask me and many other Redskin fans, they would tell you he’s the best…and we never lie.  Don’t get me wrong, Gronk is great…all-time great really, not to mention an extremely wild and crazy guy, but I love my teams TE, Jordan Reed.  Born in July of 1990…damn…

His career started out a little patchy with several small nagging injuries and unfortunately concussions…lots of them.  He’s had one or two this season and i believe 6 during his NFL career.  You have to wonder about the length of his career and more importantly his long term health after the game.  Concussions as we are all sadly just now understanding have horrific long term impacts on these guys careers.  That’s one of the reasons why i’m never upset about most of these guys getting the money they can while they can.  Often playing through short careers with a short window of earning opportunity, they are often faced with long term health impacts not to mention addictions associated with those injury treatments…one of the reasons why i tell my son “football is for watching, baseball is for playing” i’m such a downer right now.

Reed is amazing.  I’ve been building quite a nice stack of his cards for my Redskins collection over the past couple of years.  These nice little additions were from my latest stop at the Sports Room.

Side note, i’v updated my 1960’s Baseball checklist needs…so if you are interested in making a trade or two take a peek at the link above the banner and see if you can help a brother out!  I’m sure i can arrange for a sweet card package in return.

Also, i’ve been posting a few items on eBay in hopes of reloading my PayPal account for future card “investments”.  Most of whats posted on the bay is football cards…hoping to sell off my non Redskins, but if you see something you like, again let me know and i’d be happy to pull the cards and send them your way for a trade.

Thanks again for reading…hoping to get some older stuff scanned soon and get them posted here soon.

Keep reading if you’d like to see how hiphop producers put together music!  Well, sort of.  I’m a huge fan of the Mass Appeal’s YouTube series of Rhythm Roulette.  Basically, what they do is take a producer to a record shop, blindfold him and have them pick out three random selection of vinyl.  Then, the producers take the records back to the “lab” as the cool kids call it and put together various loops along with drum beats…now, some of you may be thinking this is shit…it’s not even music!  I can kinda understand where that’s coming from, but what these guys can do with a tiny snippet of a shitty record is quite amazing to me.  If you have some time, check out the series.  Here is one of my favorites from one of my all time favorite emcee’s/producter…El-P!!!
