Here's some advice for most black folks, Harvard Professors and the like, who are being "Hassled By The Man": Pull out your flippin ID when Johnny Law asks you to(even in your own home), and if you haven't committed a felony, chances are your not going to jail. (please don't come back with all the cases of wrongful arrests on African-Americans. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just in this case he should have come down off his Harvard High Horse, and flashed his shit!!).
As always, Eat well, Drink in moderation, and love yourself (and show your ID when asked to),

Summertime Blues, & Chilled Blueberry Soup
Well, they don't say "July Sucks in the Restaurant Business" for nothin'!!! Slow ass month of sales is "killing us to death slowly, until we die from it". We must hang on until our momentum catches up with all the good hype. The word on the street is the best advertising there is, so we are fighting through the best we can. Maybe the new chilled Blueberry Soup will help bring some attention our way. By The Way, It's Really Good!!!
Where to start in the world of sports?? Right off the bat, condolences to the family of former Philly Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who lost his battle with Cancer, and passed away yesterday at the age of 68. This guy really took defensive coordinating to another level, and his defenses were some of the most attacking and aggressive, and most feared in the 90's. He was also an awesome human being, and any player who played for him, will tell of that, and are feeling his loss today. God rest his soul.
Mark Buerhle pitched a perfect game, 27 straight batters without a hit, then follows that up with 17 straight in his next game before his bid for back to back perfect games was busted up. For those that don't follow baseball or sports in general, realize this: "THAT"S UNFRIGGIN" BELIEVABLE"!!! He is in "The ZONE" people.
Mike Vick has served his time for doin' the crime, so let's let him get a shot a rebuilding his life. It's the right thing to do. I was one who wanted him to get nailed to the wall, because I think he fell into "Da'Thug Life", and he has paid for it. But the story behind his release and subsequent re-reinstatement to the NFL is: Who the "EFF" is going to take on this side show????? There has been talk, or at least innuendo, that my beloved NE Patriots would consider taking him on, but trust me: He is SOOOOO not a Belichick/Kraft kind of guy, so that will be a huge surprise if they do. At any rate, Tony Dungy has his back, so he's in good hands. Good luck to the lad!! Losing the corn rows is a great start!!

Beer Can Chicken, Tom Watson, and the A-hole Athlete of the week.
Wow!!! Still "feelin' it" from Sunday when 59 year old Tom Watson made an awesome run @ The British Open, and even though he definitely choked on 18, he still gave us "elders" something to stand up for. That is truly the beauty of Golf: On any given day, you can play your ass off, and in some cases, turn back time a little bit. His swing was fluid and true all weekend, right up until he went "Wussy" on that 8 foot putt @ 18, that would have sealed the deal. Oh well, those length putts have been his downfall his whole career, but he has nothing to hang his head about. His post match press conference proved that, which he handled with class and dignity. Nice job Mr. Watson!!
And speaking of class and dignity, let's go in the other direction, shall we?? How bad is Allen Iverson's career heading into the toilet?? "You know your an asshole when"..........the shit-ass horrible LA Clippers offer only an incentive -laden contract for one year. That was the "SHIT-ASS HORRIBLE LA CLIPPERS", and they demand incentives!!! This is the worst franchise in pro sports(no doubt a great selling point to potential free agents), with hands down the worst owner(NY Knicks a close second), and a Coach/GM who is as good as he was a player - NOT VERY. Hell, don't worry Allen, the Memphis Grizzlies haven't called yet, so there is still hope. And besides, ..... "We talkin' bout practice, man"!!! Have fun playing in 200 seat capacity high school gyms in Greece. They celebrate the "ME-First " pro athlete over there. "We talkin' bout practice, man!!! I mean, we talkin' bout practice, man"!!!
On a quick RJ Casuals news note, our Beer Can Chicken Video has hit Youtube, so check out our version of this old Southern BBQ classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhNf7tw_MGY
Till then,
