It’s that time of year bitches. Time to fill out your brackets for march madness and refuse to get any work done because there’s basketball on.
Code 2 Avenue is hosting yet another ESPN bracket challenge. Just go to ESPN.com/Brackets and join the group “Code 2 Avenue”. Entry is free and just for bragging rights. I know in the past we have offered a free value meal to the winner but this years budget has already been spent on keystone light and novelty Tshirts from the mall of america.
Alright world, lets think abstrakly for a minute and pretenderize on this situation (no Jersey Shore). So lets say you’re among the handful of great athletes skilled enough to make it to the NFL; and it just so happens you find yourself playing for the New York Jets. Lets say you just played one of the hardest fought defensive battles of your career against the Ravens and their Ray Lewises. Lets say you’re stanky and sweaty, got your dack hangin to your knee caps about to take a shower and a sexy ass hispanic chick walks into the locker room holdin that mic. Now you already know all 53 homies on the team thinkin the same thing, but since you getting paid a third world countries’ net income, you may perhaps vocalize your throughts and suggest said female do an exclusive interview and that you got a mic right here….
speak into the microphone
I feel like that would happen to female reporters 98.7% of the time, but when you fine as Inez Sainz; I’m offering more sausage than Tom Green.
Since H8torade and UVT ain’t did it yet, I bring to you, Ines Sainz.
The World Cup starts in less than 23 hours… You have til Kick-off to get in your picks over at ESPN… Click the image below to get directed to the official CODE 2 AVE group!!!
Everyone who knows the Code 2 staff, knows that we love proper futbol and all the shenanigans associated with it. Every four years I pee a little in anticipation for the World Cup. This, the year of twenty-ten, is the year of the World Cup once again. It is being hosted for the first time by South Africa…
Johannesburg, South Africa
Now with 5 days til the start of the cup, the adrenaline is pumping… I can smell the food and beers of the pub. That’s where I’ll be 9am ct friday morning for the first match South Africa v Mexico. Every Sunday afternoon you can check back here for the official Code 2 Ave recap of the prior weeks events and what were looking forward to for the next week. We will be naming the “bitch of the week,” talking about upsets, and of course updating the internets on the Official Code 2 Ave/ESPN Soccernet Bracket Predictor Cup standings.
If you have not yet signed up for the Official Code 2 Ave/ESPN Soccernet Bracket Predictor Cup you should do so now by clicking the link below (You need an espn.com account)…
Thing’s to keep in mind are injuries; Ballack at Germany, Out… Altidore at US, could be out for a couple matches… Drogba at Cote Di’Voire, had surgery on a broken arm but could still be out awhile. Robben at Netherlands, left hammy. Of course things that need to always be thought about is the fact that Brazil is new/young, how will they do? Is France as strong as they should be? Can Germany go on without Ballack? Can Spain come off their Euro 2008 victory? or will Italy Repeat? AND there will be a trophy for 1st place!
Also, Leading up to the World Cup, there has been HEAVY promo by ESPN and one extremely bad ass ad by Nike… One of the features I have really enjoyed over at ESPN was there “I Scored a Goal…” feature; Which shows many unknowns & knowns alike throughout the 80 year history of the World Cup who scored a famous goal in the World Cup final. They can all be seen here. Also you can catch ALL of ESPN’s ad’s including there “32 Teams, 1 Dream” feature over on their YouTube’s World Cup playlist. It also includes my favorite…
One should also check out the collective minds of ESPN x The South African illustration house Am I Collective created a run of murals of all 32 teams. These have been posted all throughout Chicago and I am assuming other major cities as well. These are both bad ass and silly at the same time. Click the ridiculous image of the Swiss below to see the complete gallery.
The Swiss!
With this looking to be an amazing World Cup this year, I will will leave you with this and I’ll catch all of you back here next Sunday…
Do a car-bomb at kick-off of the USA v England match and you’ll be doing one WITH us…
Royal, you thought you won and Im’ma let you finish, but you whack therefore you disqualified.
1) Royal won the bracket challenge.
2) Royal won so hard he took 1st and 2nd.
3) Royal filled out 3 sheets. (therefore he’s a beeeeeetch)
It is what it is. Since there are no rules, regulations, or boundaries here at Code2Ave (and because we are still not men) let me take this opportunity to boast and brag about picking Duke and winning the challenge (after filling out 3 brackets). It has been 8 consecutive years that I’ve gone with the Blue Devils and if finally paid off. At this point in time I would like to encourage all the haters to keep hating. I’m sorry the Graduate Assistant at Butler couldn’t deliver you the win.
Ah yes yes y’all and we don’t stop. Looks like I’m just on here to post ridiculous fantasy sports competitions butt fuck it. March Madness bracket selection starts in 8 hours.
my balls on your face
Y’ll know the deal, winner gets a value meal of their choosing and a trophy ball dig? Heres how to join:
