Paddy's Points

Ya see I'm Irish, but I'm not a leprechaun
You wanna fight, then step up and we'll get it on...

COLORADO SPORTS

***Denver native and Tennessee Titans running back Lendale White was gaffled by Dever’s Finest post Parade Day outside of a Denver nightclub. Lendale was most likely trying to buy the burrito lady’s entire stock and was mad when she refused.

***The Nuggets harkened back to the days of Maxie Minor, the Crayola Unis and $2.00 Coors by absolutely pummeling the Sonics 168- 116. The current edition of the Nugs has scored 300+ points versus their Northwest Division foes in the last two meetings. The game was a laugher midway through the 2nd quarter as George Karl emptied his bench and even Rocky, the Elvis looking cop at courtside, the chubby cheerleader with the mullet, and Scott Hastings finished out the game with Taurean Green.



HIP HOP

***This St Patrick’s Day there is inevitably a lot of House of Pain played on you local or national Hip Hop shows. Nearly 16 years ago they hit the scene with “Jump Around” which to the mainstream, is a one-hit wonder, but to the Hip Hop realm their other work also stands out. However, was HoP a viable part of the history or a cleverly crafted gimmick? Everlast went from a coiffed Ice-T associate to a tatted, flannel wearing, Irish hooligan. Their Irish angle seemed a curious by-product of the Afrocentric movement of just a couple years earlier. Aided by just ill Soul Assassin (one may argue the HoP debut beats were better than the seminal classic Cypress Hill self titled debut) production, the group’s first album was an early 90’s classic. The group quickly faded in both the mainstream and the Hip Hop realm, although their third album Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again is worth a second look and can be had in most used CD bins.

BEER

***Slushy Gutter's recipe for your very own St. Patrick's Day beer:
1- Start with a can of beer; Coors Light preferred
2- Open
3- Enjoy
4- Repeat
5- Watch Jennifer Aniston's classic Leprechaun after completing steps 1-4 a minimum of seven times and you'll think it's a fu*king Oscar winner.
