SLUDGE'S TOP 5 OF THE WEEK
Every week I'll attempt to give you five things worth a second of your time. I may be wrong. Decide for yourself...



1. Chunk Gets 24-ed
Tell us everything. Everything? Everything. Okay, Ill talk.

2. Chimpanzee Riding On A Segway
Badass theme song.

3. Chimpanzee Doing Situps With A Dog
Wait what?

4. Scot Pollard And Cheryl Miller Don't Get Along
Scot Pollard is my new all-time favorite NBA player after this.

5. Shootouts Are Better Than Ties In The NHL
Here's the awesome proof.



COVE'S 24-HOUR MARATHON SHOW FOR LUPUS:
I'm doing it again this year. The science experiment last year was fun but now we've learned and this year's marathon show will be bigger and better (just not longer). It'll be May 30th through the 31st. More details to come but I wanted to start showing items that will either be up for auction or available to win during the show. The other teams in town have stuff on the way as well...

Please donate/participate May 30th - May 31st...




FLIGHT 1549 COCKPIT TAPES:
Sully was a hero during Flight 1549's descent into the Hudson River as you can hear in the actual cockpit tapes. I would not have handled it as well, as you will also be able to tell...

HARRY POTTER HATE VOICEMAILS:
After I lied about knowing the end of Harry Potter, I received a ton of hate emails and voicemails. Apparently people can't take a joke. I didn't know if Potter lived or died. I didn't care. As you'll hear, a lot of people did. These voicemails were left on my office phone...

FIVE WORD MOVIE REVIEWS:
No one wants to read multiple paragraphs to learn about movies. Ill let you know what a movie is all about in five words. More than five words would require way too much reading. Besides, these are films not books. You don't read films.

Five Word Movie Reviews

Latest Movie: Adventureland



DICE-K AND HIS TRANSLATOR:
Boston Red Sox pitcher Dice-K Matsuzaka is an omnipresent power the likes this galaxy has never seen. When he isn't conquering distant planets, he plays baseball. Then, through his translator, usually threatens to tear someone's soul out with his sword. The FAN has his press conferences covered. Here are Dice-K's thoughts...

Stay tuned to the Power Trip Morning Show and the Sludge and Lake Show for upcoming auditions for your chance to be the next Dice-K translator...

IDIOT ROOMATE VOICEMAILS:

There is nothing more worthless than a voicemail that simply tells you to call someone back. Everyone has caller ID. I know which calls I missed. If I don't despise you, I'll call you back. If you leave a message it should have meaning. Having realized this years ago, my roommate and I have traded singing voicemails for years, because it's more entertaining than "This is Cory, call me back". Enjoy...

Voicemail: "Pieces of Me"
Voicemail: "Vacation"
Voicemail: "Behind These Hazel Eyes"
Voicemail: "Girlfriend"
Voicemail: "All That She Wants"
Voicemail: "Beautiful"
Voicemail: "Always Be My Baby"
Voicemail: "Papa Don't Preach"
Voicemail: "Sandstorm"
Voicemail: "Slow Motion
Voicemail: "Back In Time"
Voicemail: "Family Ties"
Voicemail: "Growing Pains"

Sidenote: My roommate doesn't have a major market radio show. So, you won't be hearing me sing the theme song to "Fraggle Rock" on the radio anytime soon.


DALE EARNHARDT JR. PRESS CONFERENCES:
What do you get when you mix beer, cameras, hicks and guns? You get a press conference only our friends in NASCAR can pull off. Hear the press conferences of the biggest name in the sport...Junior.

Junior Joins Hendrick Motorsports
Junior Says Goodbye To Budweiser
Junior Can't Keep The #8
Junior Misses The Chase For The Cup
Junior Gets Mountain Dew Sponsorship

The following audio is simply not intended to sound dirty, but taken out of context it goes right into the gutter. Enjoy...

2) Tubby Smith: Explosion
3) Jacques Lemaire: Bangs People

THE COMFORTABLE COMPARISON:
Far too often people refuse or are unable to compare athletes to athletes of another race. We call this Brian Urlacher Syndrome. If a linebacker is white than he must play like Brian Urlacher. If a quarterback is black he must play like Donovan McNabb. Clearly not true. These are actual comparisons made by actual people who actually didn't do much analyzing before actually stating their comparison....

1. DON BANKS, SI.com:
James Laurinaitis (OSU LB): "He could be a longtime pro in the Zach Thomas mold"

2. MEL KIPER JR, ESPN:
Clay Matthews (USC LB): Plays like Chiefs LB Mike Vrabel

3. MIKE MORRIS, KFAN:
Josh Heytvelt (Gonzaga): "Plays like our guy Kevin Love"

4. JACKIE MACMULLAN, ESPN:
Tyler Hansbrough (UNC): "Reminds me of Joe Kleine"


If you read or hear someone make a comfortable comparison send the link or the audio so we can post them on this page. Send the link to...

NFL MOCK DRAFT: VERSION 76.0 (FINAL)
Thursday 04-23-2009 4:33pm CT


NFL MOCK DRAFT: VERSION 76.0 (FINAL):
Well, 75 mock drafts in the books, one final one to go down in history as the most accurate mock draft ever concocted. Some in the Twin Cities have claimed me to be a "draft prodigy". I don't disagree. I'm excellent at these. Last year I got 11 right in the first round. That's right, 11 our of 32. Damn I'm sweet. You can watch the NFL Draft on Saturday (or listen to badass coverage right here on the FAN, or both) or you can just read the following mock draft and then you'll have all of the answers you're looking for. Let us not forget, I watched 27 minutes of the combine on NFL Network and I read four and a half articles about the Senior Bowl so I'm super prepared for this. Hell, I was born ready for this. Here it is:


1. Detroit-Matthew Stafford (QB, Georgia)
Sidenote: His hip new nickname: Matty Stats

2. St Louis-Jason Smith (T, Baylor)
Sidenote: Not the Jason Smith who does overnights on ESPN Radio. This one is much bigger.

3. Kansas City-Aaron Curry (LB, Wake)
Sidenote: Henry Lake picked Wake Forest to win the NCAA Tournament. Had to be mentioned.

4. Seattle-Mark Sanchez (QB, USC)
Sidenote: Sanchez will make Seahawks fans forget the name John David Booty, if they haven't already.

5. Cleveland-Michael Crabtree (WR, Texas Tech)
Sidenote: Unless he drops 94 balls or kills a guy he'll be an upgrade.

6. Cincinnati-Eugene Monroe (T, Virginia)
Sidenote: (insert Bengals getting arrested joke here)

7. Oakland-Jeremy Maclin (WR, Mizzou)
Sidenote: Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable that Maclin doesn't have a "k" in his last name? It makes me nervous.

8. Jacksonville-BJ Raji (DT, BC)
Sidenote: Will be under the veteran tutelage of Troy Williamson...until Williamson gets released after training camp.

9. Green Bay-Andre Smith (T, Alabama)
Sidenote: Is there a better fit for a fat, lazy, lethargic, half-wit than Green Bay, Wisconsin? Smith will have incentives in his contract to not crap in dorm room closets.

10. San Francisco-Michael Oher (T, Mississippi)
Sidenote: How the hell do you say this guy's last name? Or? Oh-her? Rrr? O-he-rr? Sounds like someone got drunk and gave up on coming up with a cool last name halfway through it.

11. Buffalo-Tyson Jackson (DE, LSU)
Sidenote: Good for him. Let's move on.

12. Denver-Brian Orakpo (LB, Texas)
Sidenote: Who is going to drink all the Jag now that Cutler is in Chicago?

13. Washington-Aaron Maybin (DE, Penn St)
Sidenote: Daniel Snyder signs Maybin to a 34-year, $598 million deal.

14. New Orleans-Beanie Wells (RB, Ohio St)
Sidenote: Remember everyone was collecting beanie babies because they were going to be "worth" something someday? How's that working out?

15. Houston-Robert Ayers (DE, Tennessee)
Sidenote: Led the Weather Underground as a radical anti-war activist in the 60s. His stock has unfairly suffered because of this.

16. San Diego-Brian Cushing (LB, USC)
Sidenote: No, not Rey Maeleuaeueuauleauga. The other guy.

17. Jets-Josh Freeman (QB, K State)
Sidenote: Has been compared to Tarvaris Jackson, Donovan McNabb, Vince Young, Doug Williams, Byron Leftwich, Jamarcus Russell, Jason Campbell, Akili Smith and Daunte Culpepper by racists. Has been compared to Gus Frerotte by no one.

18. Denver-Rey Maualuga (LB, USC)
Sidenote: Who is going to drink all of the Smirnoff with Cutler in Chicago?

19. Tampa Bay-Malcolm Jenkins (CB, Ohio State)
Sidenote: Whatever.

20. Detroit-Michael Johnson (DE, Georgia Tech)
Sidenote: I know, I thought it was THAT Michael Johnson too. We are both wrong.

21. Philadelphia-Knowshon Moreno (RB, Georgia)
Sidenote: His first name is a combination of his dad's nickname and his mother's first name. His last name wasn't up for debate.

22. Minnesota-Eben Britton (T, Arizona)
Sidenote: Percy Harvin could've been the pick here if he hadn't called Sir Smoke-A-Lot, Mr. Nice Guy and Sampson Simpson.

Ok, I've lost interest. Here's the rest of the list...

23. New England-Marvin Niedick (T, Valley)
24. Atlanta-Izzy Mandelbaum (SS, Florida)
25. Miami-Willow Ufgood (CB, Wisconsin)
26. Baltimore-Lamar Latrell (WR, Adams College)
27. Indianapolis-Edmond Honda (DT, Nebraska)
28. Buffalo-Darroh Sudderth (QB, Texas State)
29. Giants-Todd Packer (TE, Penn)
30. Tennessee-Stewart Stevenson (LB, Highland)
31. Arizona- Larry Fitzgerald VIII (WR, Mound)
32. Pittsburgh-Carson Wells (SS, Texas)

Rubio: In For 2009
Tuesday 04-21-2009 5:49pm CT


RICKY RUBIO IN 2009 NBA DRAFT:
Spanish phenom Ricky Rubio says he wants in for the 2009 NBA Draft and his agent is confident that Rubio will remain in the draft by agreeing to a compromise with his Euro team. Rubio will have to pay a hefty buyout to get out of his contract and NBA teams are only allowed to help out with $500,000. Rubio makes this draft a three player draft. Here's my
MOCK DRAFT: VERSION 1.0

1) Blake Griffin, Oklahoma
2) Ricky Rubio, Spain
3) Hasheem Thabeet, UConn




Notice I didn't put any teams next to the names, which is because the NBA Draft Lottery isn't held until May 19th, but I think this order is almost in stone regardless of the teams who end up lucking out and moving up. We'll be able to breakdown the rest of the lottery after the order gets drawn in a month. As we sit right now the Wolves have the fifth spot and the fifth best chance to move up. As the fifth team, the have the chance to land anywhere in the top eight except for pick four. They could draw pick one, two or three, or if teams below them get drawn into the top three and they don't they would then slide down but can't fall past eight.

Anyway...
Check out some of this Rubio stuff if you haven't seen him play. Unbelievable talent for a kid just 18-years old.


1) Ricky Rubio: Highlight Reel
2) Ricky Rubio: I'm Next
3) Ricky Rubio: Highlight Reel 2
4) Ricky Rubio: Crazy Pass Against Lithuania



Sidenote: The Wolves have never moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery, so hoping for a top three pick is just being optimistic (Wolves have a 7.6% chance of getting the first pick). But like Charlie Bucket's Grandpa Joe once said...

"Yeah, let me sleep. Let him have one last dream"

It's going to happen eventually. May as well be this year.

Kevin Love In Studio: Tuesday 7-8pm
Wednesday 04-15-2009 9:23am CT


KEVIN LOVE WAS IN STUDIO: APRIL 14th, 7-8pm

Kevin Love has had an excellent rookie season for the Timberwolves. He's on pace to be one of the best rebounders in the NBA. He's already the top rebounder out of the 2008 draft class (9.0 rpg) and is the fourth best per 48 minutes among players who actually play significant time (behind D. Howard, A. Biedrins and M. Camby).
We asked Love about his rookie season, his longterm outlook on the Wolves, those songs played at Target Center after he scores and even yapped about his favorite TV show (and mine)....Dateline NBC: To Catch A Predator.


1. Kevin Love: Mr. Love Miracle Glass Cleaner
2. Kevin Love: Breaks Backboard
3. Kevin Love: King of the Trick Shots
4. Kevin Love: Dunks On Vince Carter
5. Kevin Love: ESPN/NBA Commercial

The Death of D&D
Friday 04-10-2009 9:48pm CT


THE DEATH OF DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS:
Dave Arneson, 61, died Tuesday after a two year battle with cancer. Clearly, we wish the best for his family. Arneson was one of the co-creators of Dungeons & Dragons. He leaves behind not only his family but also a legion of diehard fans of the D&D world and lifestyle. Arneson was born and died here in the Twin Cities. On Friday's show we offered the phonelines to D&D players who wanted to pass on their thoughts on Dave Arneson and their love of him and his legendary game. These are the calls we received...



1) Beeflefork, King of the Desfop (From Duluth)
2) Hulik The Great (From Maple Grove)
3) Lord Drikpom (From White Bear Lake)
4) Prince Kilgorg (From Lakeville)
5) The Blue Wizard of Gargenshirk (From Lindstrom)

Tiger Woods Haters Like Email
Tuesday 03-31-2009 4:07pm CT


TIGER WOODS EMAILS:

Yesterday I asked for people who openly cheer against or dislike Tiger Woods to email me with reasons why they do. He seems like an overwhelmingly likeable guy, but there is a small percentage of people who can't stand him, think he's annoying or just flat out hate him. Here are some of the best (and kfan.com appropriate emails):

"Tiger is an arrogant ass. Everyone says he's a great interview, but he just ends up talking down to everyone he talks to. Tiger, we all know you have a ton of money, but you don't have to rub it in our faces during these terrible economic times. Could you be a little more compassionate please? I'm busting my ass to make $24,000 a year and you put that stupid smile on your face because you have half a billion. What an ass"
     -Gerald, Pine City

"Nobody is perfect, but Tiger sure as hell thinks he is. I bet he wakes up and makes out with himself in the mirror like A-Rod. Maybe they should just makeout with each other because I hate both of their guts. I bet after kissing they'd both be like wow he tastes as conceded as I am"
     -Niklas, Stillwater

"Why can't he just let someone else win? People like the movie Rudy because the underdog story is so much better than the favorite always winning. Tiger makes golf even more boring than it was to begin with. At least before I had to tune in to see which guy I was bored with the most. Now I know before I even turn it on. Its Tiger every time. He did the impossible, making golf MORE boring"
     -JP, Albertville

"Have you ever wanted to smash someone's face in with a guitar just because they look like they deserve it? I would love to smash Tiger's stupid teeth out with a guitar just to humble that idiot up a little bit"
     -Jim, Hudson, WI

"I can name national tragedies that I enjoyed watching the coverage of more than watching Tiger Woods play golf. He comes off as such a dolt. Why does he always spazz out when he miss-hits the ball? Settle down. Go buy another house and you'll be fine"
     -Dennis, St. Louis Park

"I hate this guy I work with named Bryan. I even hate that he spells his name with a "Y" instead of an "I". He's the biggest jerk on the planet. He tried picking up my wife at the company Christmas party 3 years ago and he knew she was my wife. He constantly tries to screw me out of clients and money and I want nothing more than for him to fail on every level possible. Taking all of that into account, I like Bryan more than Tiger Woods"
     -Seth, Eagan

"Tiger sucks"
     -F.H., Red Wing

"I hope some hooker or some total skank he slept with in the past at some point comes out and ruins this guy's image. Someone needs to knock him off his imaginary throne. He's got some dirt in there somewhere. Let's dig it up and destroy this moron"
     -Anonymous

"Tiger is great role model for my son. He's 9 years old and just started golfing and I think Tiger is an excellent example of hard work paying off. Work ethic is something I stress to Tyler all the time and I always use Tiger as an example. I'm glad my son gets to grow up watching someone as brilliant as Tiger play the game he and I both love so much"
     -Craig, Stillwater

Craig was a little confused about the homework assignment. He comes off as a guy who likes Woods a lot, unless he's better at hiding sarcasm than anyone who has ever lived on Earth. Thanks for all of the emails. Not sure I learned anything except people hate Tiger for reasons, just not good ones.


Tiger Tiger Woods Ya'll
Monday 03-30-2009 5:49pm CT



TIGER WOODS SUCKS?:

Have you ever met anyone who dislikes/hates Tiger Woods? I haven't. I know they exist. They're out there. Why?

Tiger is badass. He's the best golfer of all-time while being respectful, classy, gracious and well-spoken. His level of fame is so massive it's incomprehensible. Only a handful of people who have ever existed have felt that level of attention worldwide.

Muhammad Ali. The Pope. Billy Mays.

He's got a great smile and a great laugh. I'd love to get an apartment with him and see what happens...I mean, I think he golfs well.

I'd like to know one reason, just one reason why anyone would cheer against him. If someone said give me one reason to not go see Knowingwith Nic Cage I'd say "Where do I begin?", but with Tiger I can't come up with anything.

It got me curious. I want to hear from all of you Tiger haters. Send me an email at
corycove@clearchannel.comwith the reasons to dislike/hate/cheer against Tiger Woods. The best emails that are appropriate for posting will be put up on this page tomorrow.
