Music Friday

Every Friday here at The Brew I’m gonna try and get people ready for the weekend. I’ll do my best to keep peeps up to date on the new tunes that come out every week and throw it all together in one blog on Friday. All so you’re ready to throw some shots back at West End Johnnies and Storyville(shouts out Johnnie and MVP, idk why I’m shouting them out..they won’t see this).

Feel free to follow me on Spotify under Steven Lyons. Take a look at my pregamin playlist to get ready for the weekend. 

 

Anyways, let get to it.

I get most of my new music off Spotify and HNHH. Not much came out this Friday to be honest and I’m a little disappointed.

But yesterday the “Fate of the Furious” soundtrack list just dropped. And it looks fire.

I listened to “Go Off’. I’m actually a fan of it. The beat is a little mediocre/sounds just like something you would put on a soundtrack. If Metro Boomin produced it, the song would be playing in every club in Boston. The verses are fire, with Migos front man on the hook and verse. Travis Scott’s verse helps the song a lot. He has his classic auto tuned voice spittin a great flow and switches it up at the end. Deff worth a listen.

 

Seeb came out with a new track called “Under Your Skin”. The song is very upbeat and happy with male and female vocals. Has a great hook into a drop with distorted vocals. If you remember, Seeb remixed Mike Posner’s “I Took a Pill in Ibizia” which made them huge. I’ve always digged Seeb. They’re a solid chill EDM group. A lot of their songs are the good songs to listen to when your at the beach just hangin or having a few drinks on the deck. If you’re ever in a bad mood, listen to them. Very chill.

 

Well there it is. Just a quick preview of what’s to come. Cheers kids. Happy Friday.

 

 

Oh yeah, Iggy Azalea came out with a new song. She fucking sucks.

 

THE EAGLE IS OUT

Just one day before UFC 209, Khabib Nurmagomedov is out.

Khabib was hospitalized due to weight issues. He claims he was feeling”ill” and was discharged from the hospital, but doctors day that he cannot fight in his condition.

ONE DAY. ONE DAY BEFORE 209. Not to mention this is the THIRD time that this has happened. This is definitely a blow to the UFC.

Khabib is 24-0 in the UFC. He’s made an absolute name for himself and even called McGregor a little chicken. If he won this fight vs Ferguson, a match with Conor was bound to happen. A fight everyone wanted to see. Khabib has unbelievable ground game and would test the shit out of Conor because we all know Conor sucks on the ground(cough cough Diaz).

Apparently the UFC is still looking to add a fifth fight to 209. I’m wondering if they’ll add a quick fill in for Ferguson like they did with Silva when he faced DC on a few days notice. The card is still stacked with Woodley vs Thompson and Hunt vs Overeem. It’s a must buy PPV.

We’ll have a post fight blog up probably Sunday morning. Stay tuned.

Free Agency: What’s Next for the Pats?

There’s no doubt that this years free agency class is historical. With the Pats most likely losing some key players this off season, what the hell are they going to do to beef up the team to repeat? (yeah they’re repeating, heard it hear first).

We all know that Bennett is out. Long is out(check his insta). And Donny says Hightower is out, so he’s out. I trust the shit out of Bill, and you should too. So I’m not too worried about those three key players.

Here’s a list of the top offensive free agents this year and how they can fit.

1. RB Adrian Peterson: This is an obvious one. AP is one of the best to ever play the position. He rushed for 1485 yards in 2015, which was an NFL best. Although his season was cut short last year, he’s shown he can bounce back from adversity..and other things like beating kids but let’s not get into that..this is my first blog. Anyways, I do love AP, but the Pats have shown that they can succeed with MULTIPLE running backs. I like how they have options. AP may want the ball, every snap, and that doesn’t work in the Pats System. I’m a no go for AP.
2. WR Alshon Jeffery: Great receiver. Great deep throat, I mean threat. Four game PED suspension really doesn’t help him in the off season trying to get signed. Also, the guy is like that dude from Spongebob who always gets hurt. I like to call him “My Leg” guy. Fucking paper bones. But he is a game changer. He would help a lot of teams. I just think he’s starting to decline though. And do the Pats really need him? Chris Hogan showed he can be that deep threat. Not a Patriot.
3. WR Terrelle Pryor: HOT TAKE ALERT. You’re probably saying, “Scuba, why the hell is Pryor number three on the list?”. I say, why the hell not. 1,000 yards last year. He’s a versatile receiver. He can throw the ball on trick plays. Everything the Pats like. The best part is, he wouldn’t ask for much. He’s happy he converted himself from a QB to a successful receiver. Guy just wants to play.
4. WR Kenny Stills: Stills has unreal skill. Like Jeffery, he’s a great deep threat. Nine touchdowns on 42 catches and 8 of those catches were deep balls(lol). Do the Pats need someone like this? Not really. And Stills wants the money. He had a breakout year and made almost 2 mil last year. I honestly think the Dolphins will give him the money. They need that star player to compete with teams like the Pats.
5. TE Jared Cook: Love this guy. With Bennett leaving, this is a perfect signing. Although he was hurt for a portion of the season, he really showed potential in the postseason. 18 receptions on 32 targets with 2 TD’s. Pretty damn good for a TE. I’m hearing that the Packers are likely to resign. Which would be a good move for Cook if he wants to win.

Well there it is, the Pats don’t necessarily need to make noise this off season, but they do have positions that need to addressed.

As always, In Bill We Trust.
