WB2B Gets Slap on Hand from Bay News 9, Film at 11

You've seen the videos. You KNOW that the WB2B news crew is the BEST news crew in the Bay Area. You KNOW that when I say Bay Area, I refer to the only "Bay Area" that anyone cares about...... the SAN FRANCISCO Bay Area. So, why is it that those jerks at Tampa Bay's Bay News 9 felt the need to have one of the WB2B crew's award winning videos taken off of Youtube?! Last month, we got this note from Youtube:



WOW! Feeling threatened, Bay News 9??????? I mean, sure you've got hot anchorwoman Jen Holloway, but LET'S FACE IT: Al Ruechel is NO Brock Mansion. And Rick Elmhorst isn't half the man that Frank Salazar is..... bb5 fans, it's time that we boycott watching of Bay News 9 - they had absolutely no reason to take down this video (we can't even remember what clip it was). Unfortunately, I think there is only one guy I know that actually reads this blog, but hey, World War II started because of one guy. Bay 9 News is a station full of jerks.

In other news, ALL 55 videos are now posted at http://www.youtube.com/user/wb2b. Also, WB2B got its first subscriber this past week, which must be a mistake or something. Happy watching.

The Year That Wuz.....Sports

Oh, was 2008 a banner year for the guys that make millions (and college athletes as well). Tons of highlights, lowlights & steroid accusations. The top 10 sure has a lot of crimson and blue in it this year....here we go....

10) Tarah Gieger totally shreddin' the competition in the 2008 XGames Womens' Motocross Riding finals. I mean, dude, it's about time they let the LADIES get on a bike and get some SERIOUS air!!! Wait a minute, WTF?!?!!?!?!?!?

9) Ok, kind of pathetic to throw a personal victory in here...but I had a hard time coming up with 10 events that weren't all KU Basketball related. This year's victory at the 5th Annual Fresno Post-Thanksgiving Turkey Tournament was definitely not as special or miraculous as the 2007 title shared with the Nate Dog Daddy, but sweet due to the hostile environment.

8) Something about the Olympics. Michael Phelps or something. Man, I just don't care about the stupid Olympics. I know I should, but I could care less. BORING.

7) Celtics over the Lakers in the NBA finals, 1985 flashback style. Celtics are back and Paul Pierce has his ring.

6) This. Definitely worth mulitple views. Ouch. Ouch.

5) Nadal/Federer, Wimbledon. That's right, tennis. Ridiculous, rain-delayed marathon match that made you actually care about this sport again. And for once Federer didn't win.

4) Kansas Jayhawks basketball team beats Stephon Curry and the Davidson Wildcats to advance to their first Final Four in 5 years. "Thanks Jason Richards, for missing that 25 footer at the end of the game that would have put me on the hot seat. Instead I just signed a multi-year contract for millions of dollars". Love, Bill Self.

3) KU Jayhawks winning the Orange Bowl and finishing #7 in the final polls. KU Football? KU Football! This meaningless sport came to the forefront in 2007/2008 as the team stepped up and played as huge as our coach. In case, you aren't from Kansas - it is true. Our coach CAN eat your coach.

2) Kansas Jayhawks beats UNC (and old coach Roy Williams) in the Final Four to advance to the National Championship. Up 40-12 in the first half, I was pretty sure that I was not awake and it was all a sick, sick dream. Love you Roy, mean it.

1) Kansas Jayhawks win the National Championship in OT after Mario Chalmers hits a dramatic 3 pointer to keep it alive in regulation. Enough has been written about this already, but 10 months later it still doesn't seem REAL! Screw Obama, I still say Mario for President!

Up next.... The Year That Wuz....Movies.
