JerkishBehavior Hall Of Fame: Ken Griffey Jr.

JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame Inductee: Ken Griffey Jr.



The newest inductee into the JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame is one of the coolest, smoothest and greatest baseball players ever in Ken Griffey Jr of the Seattle Mariners. Griffey was one of the most popular players of our generation. Ken Griffey Jr. was a home run hitting machine and a defensive wizard in centerfield where he was infamous for making over the shoulder, diving, and home run stealing catches. Griffey had everyone out in their backyard trying to emulate his spectacular over the shoulder catches. Ken Griffey Jr. has without question the prettiest swing ever in baseball that many observers call beautiful and effortless. Griffey was the coolest baseball player in the 90’s where everybody wore their hat backwards like him and wanted have a Griffey jersey and wear #24. Junior had some of the tightest non-basketball Nike sports shoe in the game and his kicks always on point with a strap, a #24 stitching, and one of the coolest logos in his trademark swing. He was always the leading vote getter for the All Star game and was always the main attraction during the home run derby (If Griffey wasn’t participating, I wasn’t interested in watching). Griffey won three home run derby’s including back-to-back titles in ’98-99. Ken Griffey is the 5th on the all-time home runs list with 621 and counting. Ken Griffey is considered one of the best ever to do it not only for his phenomenal home run prowess but for his defensive wizardry where he won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves in centerfield, BANANAS. Ken Griffey Jr. was so good during the 90’s that many historians felt that if it was for his injuries (usually because of his Gold Glove acrobats in centerfield) that he would be easily considered as the best baseball player of all time and probably the all time home run leader as well, WOW. Nobody went harder than Griffey in the outfield while making it look effortless or persevering and overcoming season-ending injuries which shows how much he loves the game to keep on getting back up after falling down. So just like a fly ball in center is an easy can of corn, the newest inductee into the JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame is Ken Griffey Jr.


5 JerkishBehavior Moments

1. During the ’95 1st round playoff series against the New York Yankees, Ken Griffey Jr. led the Mariners back from a 0-2 series deficit to winning 3 games in a row and scoring the series-winning run. Griffey’s game winning run saved baseball in Seattle which led a video game being named after him (“Ken Griffey Jr’s Winning Run” on Nintendo) and a new stadium to be built in Seattle which is now called Safeco Field and is nicknamed the “House that Griffey Built”, WOW, JERK!!!
2. Ken Griffey Jr. is an all-time Gold Glove winner that is a list of nine of the greatest defensive players from the last 50 years.
3. Ken Griffey Jr. is a member of baseball’s All-Century team.

5. In a tribute to Michael Jackson’s passing, Ken Griffey Jr wore a single white glove instead of his traditional two black gloves, who does that?

JerkishBehavior Hall Of Fame: Wayne Gretzky

JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame Inductee: Wayne Gretzky



The newest inductee into the JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame is the definition of greatness personified in his arena and is synonymous with the game of hockey and that’s none other than Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky. Hockey isn’t that big of a deal in the states but when you earn the nickname “The Great One” in any major sport, you’re kind of a big deal. Wayne Gretzky was and probably still is hockey. Wayne Gretzky is probably by far the best greatest player of all time in all major sports where no one will argue his position as the G.O.A.T. in his sport. I don’t know much hockey but numbers don’t lie so here is a run down of Wayne Gretzky’s greatness. Wayne Gretzky played majority of his career for the Edmonton Oilers (1979-88) and from the on-set he turned the NHL into Wayne’s world. Wayne Gretzky won the Hart Memorial Trophy (Most Valuable Player) as a rookie and went on to win an astonishing 8 in a row and 9 total, Who does that? He won 10 including 7 in a row Art Ross Trophy’s (Most points in a season), 5 Lady Byng Trophy’s for Sportmanship and Performance, and 2 Conn Symthe Trophy’s for playoff MVP. Wayne Gretzky won 4 Stanley Cup Trophy’s (World Championship) as well. So Wayne was not the best during the regular season but also during the playoffs when it mattered most and he was a great sportsman by being humble and never bragging about his greatness. Wayne Gretzky was so great that he broke most scoring records within by his 2nd year in the NHL. Usually when records get broken in sports, they don’t go unbroken for a while and even rarer that the record holder breaks his own record repeatedly but this was commonplace for the rare breed known as Wayne Gretzky. “The Great One” broke the assist record during his 2nd year in the NHL with 102 and then proceeded to break it 4 more times in consecutive years with 120, 125, 135, and 163 assists, WOW!!! Wayne Gretzky is only player in NHL history to score 200 points in a season and he accomplished this feat 4 times. “The Great One” became the first hockey player and Canadian to win Male Athlete of the Year as well as being named the 80’s Athlete of the Decade by the Associated Press. Wayne Gretzky was a Canadian national treasure and god. So when he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings in 1988, the Democratic Party House Leader demanded that the Canadian government block the trade but to no avail but BANANAS nevertheless. Even crazier, the Edmonton Oilers built a life-sized stature of Wayne Gretzky holding the Stanley Cup outside their arena. Wayne Gretzky was immortalized not only while still actively playing but playing for a different team altogether, UNFATHOMABLE. Wayne Gretzky played 8 seasons for the Kings then 3 seasons for the New York Rangers and retired in 1999. When it was all said and done, Wayne Greatzky owned 40 regular season records, 15 playoff records, and 6 all-star records for a mind-boggling 61 NHL records. Needless to say, the numbers show why Gretzky is by far and away no arguments from anyone the greatest hockey player of all time. The likes of his greatness will never be seen again, so without further ado the newest inductee into the JerkishBehavior Hall of Fame is Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky.

Mr. Shut It World's: Race To 365...#8



The Race to 365 is a friendly competition between boys to see who can get to 365 pairs of shoes 1st and here's my personal trek to 365. So what pair made it to #7 on the list?





8. Nike Air Penny 1/2 Cent

Background: These kicks are the best fusions ever created which takes a piece of every Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway ever made and molds them into one shoe. This kick is a perfect shoe from all the elements used from the various Penny's from the air bubble, the Penny logo, the hologram of Lil' Penny on the bottom and back of shoe.

Reason Why I Copped: Penny Hardaway had the one of best signature shoe lines ever and he was one of my favorite players of all-time (behind MJ & Pippen). I begged my parents to get me the new Penny's when they first came out so to have them all in one shoe made these a no brainer plus you can never go wrong with ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!!!

Date Copped: 11/05/09

8 down and 357 to go...Stay tuned until next time to see what makes Peter Warrick on the list?

JerkishBehavior Music Review: Freeway "The Stimulus Package"

JerkishBehavior Music Review: Freeway "The Stimulus Package"



The Roc is in the building, well not really but Freeway is still standing with his latest independent album called "The Stimulus Package". "The Stimulus Package" sees Freeway giving the people what they want which is good music to get through these tough economic times and Freeway succeeds by keeping you entertained for the entire album. "Stimulus Package" was produced entirely by Jake-One who gives Freeway a very soulful and cohesive sonic backdrop. "She Makes Me Feel Alright" sees Freeway smooth it out which this ode to that special lady who makes you feel good versus "One Thing" which sees Freeway and Raekwon going & back forth talking about snitches & backstabbers. The best track on the album is "Money" where Freezer Freeway spits tales of the various ways that he has gotten money in his life and the beat is quite infectious. Another standout track is the creative "Stimulus Outro" where Philly Freezer spits about the fan mail he receives while also detailing certain points in his career so its an open letter to how much he appreciates his fans. Freeway isn't a punchline rapper but his specialty is his flow and being able to ride to any beat effortlessly which he does very well on "The Stimulus Package" which is a quality thematic album and good music to vibe/zone out to...Philly Freezer is still in the building!!!

Overall: 3.75 out 5 *****

JerkishBehavior Music Review: Clipse "TIl The Casket Drops"

"Til The Casket Drops" sees the return of the Kings Of Coke Rap in The Clipse for their long-awaited third album. The Clipse claim that this album is "Hip-Hop on Steriods" aka every song will have you juiced and like always the Clipse don't disappoint. From the beginnning to the end, this album is filled with unbelievable next-level production along with realest street tales on how the life of drugs, money, girls, and material things can affects one's psyche. The album begins with "Freedom" which see The Clipse contemplate how the rap/crack game has affected their family and the mistakes they have as they ask for freedom. The very next track is the instant head-nodder in back by "Popular Demand" which everyone loves and Malice (bald-head one) kills the last verse with lines such as "Money and hoes, it’s deeper than that/Fight the temptation, but it keep comin’ back/Money stack to the ceiling just as quick as it dispense/
Who knew those commas meant you could lose your common sense?/Before it’s too late, all I can tell ‘em is repent." "Kinda Like A Big Deal", "I'm Good" and "Showing Out" are all huge ego boost songs that make you feel good about your day and living the life of stunting on people. Which leads us to "Door Man" which is another dope boy & baller anthem which should be played at very high volumes with the windows down especially come summer time. "Champion" which is an anthem for life to live by for success and is a song that will be on repeat for a very long time and Pusha T (the one with braids) spits money to blow lyrics such as "Hold up that rose', pourin half the bottle out/If you from where I'm from, you know where I'm flowin out/Overcame the odds, so we overdue them cars/We done balled around the world, now we reaching for the stars." As the album ends, "Footsteps" is the cautionary tale track where The Clipse tell you why following in their footsteps might not be the way to go because it's not as sweet as it looks as they beg all who hear it to listen before choosing the streets. Overall, this album is a slight departure from the normal punchline heavy Clipse you expect but their rhymes still give you food for thought and the features from suspect rhymers such as Camron & Yo Gotti are on point like wait a sec, did Cam & Gotti come off as tight, yes they did. The dynamic duo plan on doing this "Til The Casket Drops" which is another banger of an album added to The Clipse resume with superb production, tracks that can be soundtracks to your life, and great introspective lyrics from the best duo in rap....Clipse have another hit, Barry Bonds!!!

Overall: **** out of 5
