The Spoon Feed, Filling You Up Every Friday

LaxAllStars Spoon Feed

It’s been a long week and by the time Friday rolls around we here at LaxAllStars know that you’re lacking in essential vitamins and nutrients. Enter The Spoon Feed.

Open up wide because we’re backing up a dump truck full of the most interesting crap the internet had to offer this week. Let’s kick it off with a nice little tribute to 8-bit video games, lego style:

Titled 8-Bit Trip, apparently this lego tribute took 1,500 hours to create. Gotta love the old school video game ninjas.

This article in Rolling Stone reads like a real life comic book or movie. Tortured, pasty fat kid discovers he has an extraordinary power and uses it for evil (cue ominous music). “The kids…they called me Mr. Glass

He was a 14-year-old blind kid, angry and alone. Then he discovered that he possessed a strange and fearsome superpower — one that put him in the cross hairs of the FBI

Alright, now right into sports. We’re football-heavy today due to the fact that KyleMac, Craven and Brunelle have their FFL Draft Night this Sunday. The guys have been scanning the interwebs in hope of finding someone who can run over Rey Maualuga. He’s a mean man. Gotta love Hard Knocks.

But wait, where’s the Ochocinco coverage? He’s the best part of Hard Knocks, right? Child please. Kiss the baby. That’s one helluva locker, Esteban:

"This is the way you prepare for a game, in style!!!"

PTI Overtakes SportsCenter In Ratings, Revenue – Kornheiser and Wilbon may seem like your cranky Uncle’s arguing over dinner, but PTI is an institution. Check it out on iTunes podcasts if you can’t watch every day.

Did anyone see the Cowboys’ new setup? Rough roof… if you’re a punter. – The 10 Most Annoying Stadium Quirks

Jumbo Jack sent this one in: I guess it goes with sports. After all, every one of these douchey schools has athletics.

Ochocinco tweeting from the sidelines? This might be even better. He’s pleasing his fans. Kissing the baby. Well done 85, well done.

Last bit of football news: Brandon Marshall is mailin’ it in!

Speaking of tweeting, did you hear about this? Our pal Peter Robert Casey is making headlines and proving the value of Twitter.

…..That’s pretty much why we tweet too [Ed’s note: Shameless plug!]

Michigan has won back-to-back MCLA Championships, so who better to interview in the off-season than John Paul, HC of Michigan AND former MCLA President? Some might even call this guy Pope John Paul of the MCLA, but we won’t take it any further. Sonny over at Collegelax grilled him good.
