NFL Week 8 Powre Rankings
M.D. Wright
10.27.09
More shaking at the top, but hey, that's the NFL for ya. The best teams belong at the top, the worst at the bottom, and those with various different holes in their squads move around the most. That's the deal.
1. Indianapolis Colts.
Peyton Manning is better than YOUR QB. Taking a bunch of no-names and a smoke-and-mirrors defense and making it look easy every week -- not needing to score 100 points every game in the process.
2. New Orleans Saints.
They showed a lot in coming back from being blown out in the first half vs. the Dolphins in Week 7, but in the same manner that Manning > Brees, the Colts > Saints.
3. Denver Broncos.
UGH. Still waiting for the other shoe to drop like it did for the Packers in '07.
4. Cincinnati Bengals.
This team is SOLID. Cedric Benson finally playing the way he did in college. Cursin' Palmer not being great with numbers, but rather CLUTCH -- and that's what matters more than numbers.
5. New England Patriots.
They blew out two of the worst teams in football, but they seem to be almost back.
6. Minnesota Vikings.
Caught the short end of the stick due to terrible officiating late and a couple of fluky touchdowns by the Steeler defense, but they can be beaten through the air and they look pretty average when AD gets slowed down.
7. Arizona Cardinals.
Their defense is finally playing up to their capability. When you have a bunch of 1st and 2nd round studs accumulated over the years, YOU OUGHT TO. Their offense (irony?) needs to catch up for them to be taken seriously as contenders.
8. Houston Texans.
Their offense is back, meaning only the Colts and Saints are better in that regard. They are stopping teams, also.
9. New York Football Giants.
The Giants sorely miss Kenny Phillips, whose replacement, (C)an't (C)over Brown is giving up tons of big plays. Also missing Pro Bowl-level CB Aaron Ross and their only LB with downfield coverage speed in Michael Boley (every other week he's out for some reason). The offense is fine, minus mental lapses by the young WR corps at times.
10. Pittsburgh Steelers.
Outside of their blind fans (and the fake ones who have come on board since 2005) you can't tell them that they're paper champions ONLY.
11. Dallas Cowboys.
That's one solid game by Romo, if he has a couple more consecutively, then Dallas may be onto something. Still leading the league in offense.
12. Philadelphia Eagles.
The Iggles are soft as tissue. You can't live down losing to the Raiders even if you go 5-1 in the division.
13. San Diego Chargers.
They officially start playing football this week.
14. Atlanta Falcons.
The most uninspiring 4-2 team in the HISTORY of the NFL.
15. Green Bay Packers.
DITTO.
16. Baltimore Ravens.
Really should be 6-0, but as Parcells said when he coached us, "Y'ARE WHAT YA RECORD SAYS Y'ARE".
17. New York Jets.
The Jets hope Young Mr. Sanchez will stay on track and not eat hot dogs on the sideline anymore.
18. San Francisco 49ers.
Bad road team. Can't expect to win in this league when you don't travel well.
19. Chicago Bears.
The Bears flat out STINK. What else can you say?
20. Miami Dolphins.
Played inspired football, but to invoke their GM/President's aforementioned quote...
21. Buffalo Bills.
???
I mean, really -- what ARE they? Are they the team that won Sunday, beat the Jets and nearly beat the Patriots, or the one that lost 6-3 to the even-lower-than-they BROWNS?
22. Seattle Seahawks.
They are probably the most unwatchable team in the NFL not named the Bears or Falcons.
23. Jacksonville Jaguars.
Another week-to-week enigma.
24. Carolina Panthers.
Time for them to start over. Their best players don't care. Their coach says the same BS after losses as he does after wins (minus any adjustments). Their playmakers aren't making plays and looking old. New GM. New Coach. New QB. New bookend defensive ends. NEW SECONDARY.
25. Detroit Lions.
At least they TRY.
26. Washington Redskins.
SINCE THEY DON'T.
27. Kansas City Chiefs.
They fight, but they stink because the loudmouth chump paper gangster of a RB who averages just over 3 yards a carry but talks like he's Adrian Peterson isn't doing anything else.
28. Oakland Raiders.
Blown out by the Giants. Beat the Iggles. Blown out by the Jets. Makes no sense.
29. Cleveland Browns.
They have SOME fight defensively, but their offense is absolutely ABOMINABLE.
30. Tennessee Titans.
DEAR GOD.
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Why is Raheem Morris a head coach? Is Glazer trying to buy points with the Black community or something? This guy has no business coaching on what seems to be an island. Even the guys he brought in (Jagodzinski) are gone (and HE fired him).
32. St. Louis Rams.
The Rams have never been this bad. Even in the 80s and early 90s before leaving Los Angeles they DID win 4 or 5 games a year. This team may not win again until mid-season... NEXT YEAR.
As politically incorrect as I wanna be.

Music From The 90's (90's Party Edition)
Music From The 90's (90's Party Edition)
M.D. Wright
10.25.09
With the help of some of my friends (thank you) and going through my iTunes (with 55,000+ songs it is a CHORE), I've come up with a 500-song list that could be played at a 90's party. Granted, there are a couple of exceptions (close-to-home hits that came out in '88 or '89) or someone's absolute favorite maybe being left off the list. As the music-head, old DJ I was in the 90s, I probably left off a few of my own. But this is what my "Ultimate 90's Party" (really New Jack Swing Era -- 1987-1995) set list looks like right now:
***NOTE: This list could change***
These songs can be put on approximately 4 data disks with 125 songs apiece, give or take. Makes for easy transport, or one single playlist for iTunes/iPod users.

1. All 4 One - "I Swear" (1994)
2. Another Bad Creation - "Iesha" (1990)

*There are over 500 songs here once you list out the entire "Life After Death", "Mary", "No Way Out", "Tamia" and "Mambo Birdland" songs. But at the risk of being repetitive, I pared it down.
I know some songs were left off. You're talking about covering a decade from underground, mid-level pop to the biggest hits, regional jams and what have you. Hard to cover everything.
I may do an even more exclusive list later, hit me up with suggestions. Enjoy this list, it's a good starting point when compiling music for a 90's-themed party.
Peace

With the help of some of my friends (thank you) and going through my iTunes (with 55,000+ songs it is a CHORE), I've come up with a 500-song list that could be played at a 90's party. Granted, there are a couple of exceptions (close-to-home hits that came out in '88 or '89) or someone's absolute favorite maybe being left off the list. As the music-head, old DJ I was in the 90s, I probably left off a few of my own. But this is what my "Ultimate 90's Party" (really New Jack Swing Era -- 1987-1995) set list looks like right now:
***NOTE: This list could change***
These songs can be put on approximately 4 data disks with 125 songs apiece, give or take. Makes for easy transport, or one single playlist for iTunes/iPod users.
Here are the songs (in no particular order other than pseudo-alphabetical):
1. All 4 One - "I Swear" (1994)
2. Another Bad Creation - "Iesha" (1990)
3. Cam'ron - "Horse & Carriage" (1998)
4. Cam'ron - "Let Me Know" (1999)
5. Cam'ron - "My Hood" (1999)
6. Canibus - "2nd Round KO" (1998)

*There are over 500 songs here once you list out the entire "Life After Death", "Mary", "No Way Out", "Tamia" and "Mambo Birdland" songs. But at the risk of being repetitive, I pared it down.
I know some songs were left off. You're talking about covering a decade from underground, mid-level pop to the biggest hits, regional jams and what have you. Hard to cover everything.
I may do an even more exclusive list later, hit me up with suggestions. Enjoy this list, it's a good starting point when compiling music for a 90's-themed party.

M.D. Wright
10.24.09
I've been updating my iTunes lately, importing old songs from CDs and synching my iPod of late. Interesting what has happened to my iTunes in the year or so since I reformatted my hard drive and my Play Count (which was stacked with Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince, Fred Hammond, Héctor Lavoe, Marc Anthony, Teddy Pendergrass, Cam'ron/Diplomats and LC Elsy topped the list for most plays).

The fun thing about doing this is I have about 400 songs that have between 30-60 plays, so the list could change significantly between now and Christmas ha. Plus you have to account for The Temptations CHRISTMAS album from 1980, which still gets tons of play every Christmas season. Who knows?
Try it, it reveals a lot about where your mind is, when you have tons of plays for particular songs.

I've been updating my iTunes lately, importing old songs from CDs and synching my iPod of late. Interesting what has happened to my iTunes in the year or so since I reformatted my hard drive and my Play Count (which was stacked with Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince, Fred Hammond, Héctor Lavoe, Marc Anthony, Teddy Pendergrass, Cam'ron/Diplomats and LC Elsy topped the list for most plays). Given that I am on PC, I (of course) had to reformat this past January and so these top plays are since mid January 2009.
The following are my Top 25 plays and the number of plays for each song.
