People who are doing it right: Chad Ochocinco

Let me go on the record as saying that Chad Ochocinco is one of my top 5 favorite non-hometown athletes.

And apparently he is trying out for an MLS team.

THIS is what American Soccer needs. Not Becks, not Landon Donovan, it needs to OCHO.

Just talking massive smack and being feet taller than everyone on the field.

I mean, basically everyone only watched the goals in soccer... can you IMAGINE what he would do if he scored?

Now picture this on a soccer pitch. I mean, I might even call it football if he played.

First we have Zibby becoming a professional boxer and now the OCHO in soccer?

LOCKOUT! LOCKOUT!

EDIT: Some college dude just ran a sub 4 minute mile in the NCAA nationals. Madness.

People Who are Doing it RIGHT: Double Feature

I swear I'm going to try to keep this G-rated. Occasionally I'll stumbleupon (not a typo) a couple of articles that scream "YOU MUST POST ME." The article titles?

• Penthouse pokes punters in eye with 3d smut
  
• Home Office closes door against foreign boners

Read on for possibly NSFW linkage.

People Who are doing it RIGHT

I guess I'm going to be dominating the morning posts, so we might as well get on with it yeah?

Todays Guy who is doing it right : Man beats Speeding Ticket using Android phone (link)

I'm sure at one point or another in our lives, we've all said "there's no way that speed gun can be correct." I mean Aroldis Chapman's Nolan Ryan's fastball? Those apps that tell you when the T is supposed to show up? Any baseball on FOX? That guy in the KHL who supposedly shot a 113 mph slapshot?

So basically this guy gets pulled over for doing 40 in a 25 in some obscure county in CA. Kid obviously doesn't have the cash to go paying up for no reason, so he decides to fight the ticket. Not just because he hopes the cop isn't going to show up, but becuase he's running a GPS tracking app on his smartphone. Kid's got timestamped data of all his speed and coordinates on the day and it shows him doing a max of 26 at any point.

It gets better! So instead of being a loudmouth in court, kid asks some questions and finds out "that the officer did not recall the last time he attended radar gun training, when the device was last calibrated, or the unit’s model number." Great job brochacho. Then breaks out his data from his trip. BAM. no ticket.

I mean even though the judge "chose to clarify his decision by citing the lack of evidence on the officer’s part. The judge mentioned that he "was not familiar enough with GPS technology to make a decision based on my evidence," when a kid busts out a computer to prove you wrong you let him go.

Now I know a few police officers and I have the utmost respect for them, but to any cop who doesn't want to give everyone they pull over an excise to fight the ticket, step your game up.

This kid and people who have useful smartphone apps: DOING IT RIGHT.

"People Who Are Doing It Right" 2/22/11

Welcome to the League ladies and gents.

Before we start let me introduce myself.
Hello Ladies, I'm Cooper.

I'll probably be the butt of everyone's jokes, but I'm here to give you updates on completely useless things that could be potentially useful for discussions pertaining to the areas in which you reside and the people you need to make conversation with. I'm long winded and nonsensical, deal with it. Also, I'm probably going to post on this too much, since I do in every other website I sign up for. I'm also a nerd. Going to rip off use reddit and Fark for a lot of my materials.

Right then, Today's Cooper Edition of "People Who are Doing it Right" takes you to Portland Maine. (link) The Erdinger Brewing Company has been handing out mugs of Alkoholfrei at the World Cup Biatholon event to athletes. Ok that's pretty normal. I mean, using winter athletes to promote beer? Not a bad idea. Wait, they're advertising it as "an isotonic, vitamin-rich, no-additive beverage with natural regenerative powers."

In english, science nerd.

Basically, instead of grabbing a G3 or whatever the heck Peyton Manning is drinking in those Gatorade commercials, this company wants you to grab a beer.
Where do I sign up? Beer? Rehdrating? Healthy Beer? This is going to take beer league to a whole new.... what the hell it's non-alcoholic.
Ok, so bright side, I get to drink beer at the end of my workout. Can't help shaking that I'm going to be drinking a Zima or St. Pauli N/A though. No need to give everyone else more ammo on me.
