Day In The Life Of J.J. Redick

6:45 AM- Wake up

6:46 AM- Calls Coach K, just to check in

7:00 AM- Shower

7:15 AM- Launches towel into the hamper from much farther than needed, sinks it, whispers to himself, "I still got it".

8:00 AM- Drives to nearest breakfast joint in Orlando while blasting the Duke fight song with the windows down.

8:09 AM- Greeted by a chorus of boos in the diner. Smiles, nods, thinks to himself how he loves how Orlandoians yell, "Duuuuuuuuke" everywhere he goes.

9:00 AM- Calls Shane to check in.

9:02 AM- Calls "Booze" to check in.

9:03 AM- Calls Grant to check in. He doesn't answer, again.

9:05 AM- Lays by the pool for a few seconds of sun, being careful not to tan, Coach K taught us that it is a sign of weakness.

9:06 AM- Packs up gear to head to the Amway Arena while watching SportsCenter, wonders how Vince, Antawn, and Marvin are so good.

9:07 AM- Glances at the Duke coaches application that all basketball players get on senior night and wonders if the NBA was the right decision.

9:45 AM- Arrives at Amways Arena, Anthony Johnson is parked in his spot again, he shrugs at Redick and says, "Sorry rookie."

10:00 AM- Checks the All-Star weekend schedule, still not in the 3 point contest line up. Calls agent to ask why. No answer.

11:00 AM- After an intense stretching session, does defensive slides from elbow to elbow 3 times, slaps his palms on the ground, falls backwards and calls it a day on the defensive end. Dwight looks oddly at him as J.J. says, "Coach K always said my defense was underrated, you gotta work hard big man."

11:30 AM- Calls Dick Vitale to alert him not to cash this month's check, it might bounce.

12:00 PM- Dribbles 2 lengths of the court, mixing in a cross over at mid-court, calls it a day for ball handling.

1:00 PM- Starts his daily regiment of 333 3's from each spot around the arc.

3:00 PM- Free throws, 333, of course.

5:00 PM- Make A Wish Foundation child visits the Magic locker room. He walks straight over to Redick as J.J. asks if they're going to spend the rest of the day together. Kid looks at him, slaps him, walks away. Wish granted.

7:00 PM- Joins lay-up line with teammates, asks Matt Barnes, "Why do we do this, it's only worth 2? Maybe I should ask Coach Van Gundy." Barnes snickers and tells him to talk to coach.

7:58 PM- After a technical, J.J. starts to walk to the line. As Jameer toes the line, J.J. says, "I got this little guy." Jameer looks at Van Gundy, Van Gundy sighs and shakes his head. Redick cans it and absorbs the "Duuuuuuuke" cheers raining down on him.

8:30 PM- Wonders why he hasn't played more tonight, thinks, "Didn't coach see I was fouled on those 4 3s?" Debates whether or not he should remind Van Gundy that he is the most prolific scorer in ACC history.

9:00 PM- With the game tied and 3 seconds remaining, Van Gundy draws up a play for Rashard Lewis. During the explanation, J.J. asks if he's sure they don't need a 3, Van Gundy says, "Yeah, white boy, I'm sure."

9:01 PM- Lewis hits the shot, Magic win, Redick wildly waves towel on the bench.

9:10 PM- Surrounded by 2 reporters, Redick answers questions about the game and explains how instrumental he was in doing the "little things" in tonight's win.

9:30 PM- Showers, hopes Vince Carter's assistant doesn't steal his towel, again.

10:00 PM- Watches highlights on SportsCenter while getting dressed. Sees Cavs highlights of LeBron dropping 45, 10, and 12. Scoffs, looks at Barnes and says, "45? Yeah but he only went 3-11 from 3."

11:00 PM- Meets the guys at the club, argues with the bouncer stating that he is on the Magic, Dwight waves from inside.

11:30 PM- Gets into the club.

12:00 PM- Orders a Shirley Temple, looks at Dwight and says, "Let's get drunk!"

I Can't Help Myself

I have been flipping between the SEC championship and the ACC championship for the past half hour and since no one is here to complain to, I'll do it here. Dook is a number 1 seed this year, I get it, but they play the same stale style that will only get them an ACC title and nothing at the dance. Of the last 4 or 5 possessions, there offense has consisted of Singler slowly making a move, forcing a shot, missing, Zoubek awkwardly having it fumbled into his hands, kick it out to an open guy, make a 3. Sweet offense, just the way we drew it up. Even worse, after their last sequence like this, Dawkins made the 3 and was bombarded by the clones on the bench as they all ran over during a time out. Imagine the celebration that would ensue upon an athletic play or a well crafted offensive possession. Next, following the string of weird rebounds by Zoubek (half of which were poked loose at some point by a guard), the commentators said how Zoubek's size was having a big impact on Tech's game. Haha, he then got bitched on defense and gave up an and-1 and then had 2 potential rebounds poked loose by far smaller opponents. Derek Favors (freshman) just worked him, too. To conclude, Singler just tackled Dan Shulman while saving a ball and quickly jumped back into the play and continued on with the game. As a ref and a Tech player joked with Dicky V and Shulman to see if they were ok, Singler stood stone faced on the court thinking only of the mission at hand. Also, while I wrote this, Scheyer preformed about 13 to 14 head fakes.

How To Make It In America

So for the past few months, people in the blogosphere have been talking about how HBO's new show, Making It In America, was going to "star" Kid Cudi. Turns out, starring in a show means being in it for like 2 minutes every episode. The show is sick, so definitely check it out, just don't expect to see Mr. Solo Dolo very much.

The 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes Of All Time

Exactly what the title says. My favorites are at 1:46, 2:19, 3:13, 7:17, and 7:54. Enjoy.

MacGruber Trailer

MacGruber is funny for about 3 minutes on SNL so I don't know if an entire movie's worth of it will work but the trailer is funny. MacGruber!

A Brief History Of Pretty Much Everything

Feel like you missed something since the beginning of time? Check out this funny synopsis of the last buhgillion years. Youstube.

Lumitectura

Amazing video. The creator used a 4 hour timelapse piece of photography to create the lighting effects you see paired with the music. This is real stuff, not CGI or anything. Dig it.

Haha

Water Bobble


So you're at class and your bottle of water runs out, what do you do? You go out to the hall fountain and fill it up, one problem though, that hall water is grimy and just because the bottle says Fiji doesn't make the new stuff clean. Thanks to Water Bobble, problem solved. With this on the lid, you filter the water as you squeeze it from the bottle to your mouth. One filter lasts for like 300 bottles so drink up.

Winter Olympics


Lucky for you, since I have finished my finals I have watched way too much Olympic action. One thing I have watched a lot of is curling. Lyle and I agree that if we were given 3 years to "train" for this sport we would make the USA team. This isn't like other sports where you need a God given ability like speed or strength, both of which I have anyway. I have played hours of shuffleboard casually over the years so I think with some training I could handle this. Also, since the USA sucks at this they might as well give me a shot to bring home a gold. If that doesn't work for them, why don't they recruit some drunks from Jake's that are nasty at shuffleboard instead of the nerds I saw playing the other day.

Next on the list is women's hockey. You probably think I'm about to say how boring it is to watch women's sports blah, blah, blah. Wrong. Here's the thing, women are not allowed to body check...in hockey. Isn't that insulting to them? These are the best women IN THE WORLD at this CONTACT sport and they aren't allowed to body check? It's the same rules that 12 year old boys have to play by. This is not a knock on women hockey players either, it's a knock on whoever makes the rules. I enjoyed watching them play, it's like soccer, they can do everything just as well as the men they're just not as big and fast, but it's still entertaining. Just let them hit each other, I'm pretty sure they would be ok with that. Also, fire that woman announcer that ruins Doc Emrick's awesome skills.

Heinz Dip & Squeeze


Heinz as been at the top of the ketchup game for as long as I can remember, and they just stretched their lead even more. Instead of using the old packets of fancy ketchup when you're at a fast food place or something, you can now use the Dip & Squeeze. It let's you dip your fries etc. in the little guy or rip off the end and squeeze it onto your plate/wrapper. It gets better, the Dip & Squeeze has the same amount of catsup as 3 of the old packets. So long Hunt's, that runny shit won't cut it anymore.

Space Shuttles

So, when it was cool to watch cribs, Shaq etc. made purchases that put them on the map as upper echelon ballers. Hov raised the bar and showed that to be a true baller, you have to own a ball team, I guess the Nets count. Here is the newest way to show you are really, truly, officially a baller, cop a NASA spaceship. For about 28 million bones you can have one of the 2 remaining shuttles, Atlantis Endeavour. Apparently there were 3 for sale but only 2 are left, I'd love to say the first one must've flown off the lot but it's way too cheesy. I'm not saying anyone will buy one of these, especially in this economy, but if someone does, my money is on Fiddy or Richard Branson. I'm just saying.

Jersey Shore Soundboard

So, I've had a lot of e-mails lately asking why I don't ever talk about Jersey Shore. Well today is your lucky day people, Complex has set up a sound board to allow us to click away to hear the dumbest best quotes from the summer in Seaside. Don't let the spiky hair fool you...

After not having time to put the rest of these up, I decided to throw them all up at once, like after a night of cheap vodka. Enjoy.

Facebook F-Ups

So, I really hate how people use Facebook to tell every detail of their lives, and even worse, I hate when people feel the need to dislike/like/comment on what those people are pointlessly doing. Naturally, I like when it goes horribly wrong for people. My buddy sent me some of these so I'll throw them up throughout the week. Check the first one.

A Love Letter For You Murals


Next time you're in the Philly area check out Steve Powers', aka ESPO, work on the sides of several buildings. He's teamed up with City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program to jazz up the walls along the Market-Frankford Elevated Line. If you're not around here, just click the link and enjoy. ESPO.

World's Greatest Dad

When I become a father, I plan to mix myself with several fathers I have witnessed to become the perfect dad. My own dad is not on this list because I am already partially him so when I mix myself with these people he is already in there, so no one freak out. To achieve perfection, I will need to be 50% Rev Run, 25% Tim Taylor, 10% Frank Costanza, 10% Liam Neeson in Love Actually, and 5% Philip Banks. Adding these personas to my inherent swag should make me a shoe in for a World's Greatest Dad mug/ill fitting t-shirt. Yessir!

Sausage Football


With the Super Bowl coming quickly, you'll need the perfect football-shaped sausage to present to all the Colts and Saints fans you have there. The Sausage Football from Norm Thompson should do the trick for yous. Since it's probably your cheat day, why not pair it with some Bacon Bourbon Caramel Corn?
