Jay Kang absolutely slays it with this piece on current sports sensation Jeremy Lin. Lin’s taken over the large majority of sports and Asian-American (not mutually exclusive after all!) conversations the past few days. It will be hard to grasp if you’re not yellow yourself, but Kang’s piece is a great place to start.
The only part I don’t agree with is relating to Lin....

The Return of Young Jeezy - Grantland →
“I’ve had some trials that would have made the average motherfucker jump out a window a long time ago,” Jeezy had said earlier. “But if you wake up one morning and say, ‘I can’t do it no more,’ then it’s all over. That’s why I wake up every morning and say, let’s do this shit. Let’s get it.”

The Mediocre Quarterback and You (via Grantland) →
Carles, formerly of Hipster Runoff, and now Grantland writes on how we (“the mediocre class”) relate to mediocre NFL quarterbacks. Brilliant, hilarious, insightful and hits a little close to home.
Before I started writing things on the Internet, I had a traditional office job. Every day, I would show up at work, pretend to do tasks that required gazing into the computer screen....

Advertising Gets Good (Seriously) →
2012 will be the beginning of a new era of advertising (she wrote hopefully). Besides the Orkin and Dos Equis “Most Interesting” men, the past few years in commercials has been a mostly plain-yogurt flavored bowl of offerings peppered with occasionally offensive gender stereotyping and the same five white guys who live in an apartment and keep getting intruded on by spokespeople...

WatchR. Kelly sings “I Believe I Can Fly” live on X Factor
The contestant does a respectable job, or so I thought, until R. Kelly strolls on in wearing a double breasted velvet blazer and Buddy Holly glasses. He proceeded to absolutely murder the performance throwing ad-libs in and everything.
Great song, great performance, great talent, great man

Rap Industry Fan Fiction: Drake explains the... →
Best Rap Industry Fan Fiction to date (and just in time for the holidays!):
“So it’s like Christmas, but for Jewish people.”
“What’s that?”
Drake shifted uncomfortably at the head of the Young Money/Cash Money conference room. His power point presentation was not going over very well. He had prepared slides with menorahs and dreidels and everything, though.
