With this announcement they released another single from the album called "Pink Hearts". Before this they released a single for the album called "Push Me Away". Both of these singles were fantastic in my opinion. A lot of people have been praising this album for them going back to their roots in reference to "Silence in Black and White" and "If Only You Were Lonely". I don't think this is true, every album they have released has been unique in my opinion and they have simply been making the music they want. In any case I am extremely happy about this release and I will be getting the album on release and making a follow up review on it then. </p>

Between Super smash Brothers, Magic the Gathering, Counter Strike, Overwatch, and countless fighting games I have met so many wonderful people. During the last days, everyone who was part of the community joined together for a last hurrah. The most eventful night was Friday where the Last "ASH at Wit" was held, a Super Smash Brothers Melee and Project M tournament with well over 100 people. Old Friends came and new friends were met. Probably the most hype tournament ever hosted there. Just about every other match was an upset including one of my own. The best match to watch was probably MVZY vs Dirtboy which had the whole crowd yelling and cheering. Afterwards we all gathered for a group photo to remember the last night and all the people we had met along the way. </p>

<p>Prior to the release of the movie, most were not aware of the Black Panther comic strip that first surfaced in 1966. </p>
<p>Black Panther is the story of a young Prince turned King of Wakanda after his father is murdered. </p>
<p>T'Challa is a royal descendent of a warrior race who is also a master of armed combat with the ability to use a variety of weapons but prefers unarmed combat instead. He's not only good looking & strong but also very intellectual who always anticipates his next move in order to go above & beyond in order to achieve his goals & advance the kingdom of Wakanda. </p>
<p>He faces adversity when an estranged relative shows up to challenge T'Challa for the reign of the throne for the Wakandan empire. </p>
<p>Black Panther has an outstanding cast that is highlighted by the strength of women warriors who lead the frontline in battle. </p>
<p>This is one for the history books, check out Black Panther ASAP at your local theater & take the kiddos with you!! </p>

For those of us who grew up watching him play, he needs no introduction. For those who did not get to watch him play he was easily one of the if not the most dominant forces on defense during his tenure with the Chicago Bears. Usually a team's game plan for the other defense as a whole, but they had to game plan specifically for Brian Urlacher. My personal favorite "Urlacher" moment came during a game against Tom Brady and the Patriots. The defense collapsed the pocket but game Brady an opening to run up the middle. Urlacher assumed Brady was just going to slide and went for an easy tackle. Brady actually juked Urlacher! It was my favorite for 2 reasons 1. Even though he is my all time favorite Bear, it's always good to be reminded someone is human. 2. After the game he was asked about that play and if he said anything to Brady afterwards. He said that he assumed Brady was going to slide and he didn't want to hurt Brady with a full tackle. Next thing he knew he was juked by Brady. He complimented Brady on the move but finished it with you will never do that to me again. <br>I'm sure everyone has an individual favorite Brian Urlacher moment and I would love to see them.</p>

It is amazing to think that 10 years ago it all started off with Iron Man! I remember going to the theater excited to finally see my favorite Super Hero on the big screen and Marvel did not disappoint. I left excited convinced that there would be a sequal. Little did I know at the time that there was something much bigger in the works. Shortly after, I heard announcements of Thor & Captain America, even characters and stories I have never heard of before like Guardians of the Galaxy. The past decade has been nothing short of memorable if not historic. The idea of combining the stories from dozens of movies to eventually culminate into a dramatic close has never been done before. How exactly Infinity War will end up going? No clue, All I know is I know exactly where I'll be in 100 days.</p>

Many are wondering if it'll be even more interesting than last year due to all the heated scandals that are taking place.</p>
<p>Remember last year when it seemed that Warren Beatty was in his own, "La La Land" when he announced that the big name movie had received Best Picture before the actual winner, "Moonlight" was announced? Since then, the Academy has ensured that new procedures have been put in place in order to prevent another "mixup." On top of that historic mistake, Hollywood is already under scrutiny amid widespread sexual allegations toward some who have even been nominated by the Academy to receive the prestigious award.</p>
<p>But...I guess if we can have a President in offices who faces the same sexual misconduct accusations; then I suppose we can have them as Academy Award winners as well.</p>
<p>Never a dull moment in America!!!</p>
<p>The Oscars are set to air on Sunday, March 4th on ABC, Channel 7, hosted by the late night host, Jimmy Kimmel.</p>

They only celebrate Halloween once in the movie it's it's the first like 5 minutes of the movie. The rest of the movie is them preparing/ celebrating christmas. If you watch the first 5 minutes on Halloween that's fine but everything after that is all about Christmas so how can it be a Halloween movie. I know it can feel weird to watch it on Christmas because it can be scary to kids but it only makes sense. Watch it before Halloween or after but there's no point in watching it on Halloween.</p>

Every Saturday they have karaoke night but it's not just for young people, there were people in their 60s and 70s doing songs and they had a blast with it. After the karaoke I got to hear and catch up with some of my favorite bands like the foolishly district and the smoking revolvers. The missing revolvers just released their first EP which I had to pick up. I was so surprised by the quality of the songs. It sounded so clean and some of my favorite songs by them were on it. But back to the bar, everyone was so nice there and all the people that worked there were so friendly. It didn't feel like they worked there it felt like they just wanted to be there and have a good time. Moral of the story check out the mutiny if you get the chance.</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/49027862017-10-20T09:45:00-05:002017-10-23T09:46:31-05:00OUI Radio Blog 10.18.17<p>Ok so what's really with all the hype about Sweetest Day?? Ladies, are you supposed to do for your honey or is it supposed to be a day that you both take the time to recognize each other in your relationship?? </p>
<p>Actually, it's neither.... </p>
<p> 'Candy Day'(created in 1916), now known as Sweetest Day, was designed to be a day of resilience & persistence by acknowledging those who were less fortunate with tokens of affection. </p>
<p>The goal was to encourage everyone to be generous towards others in even the smallest ways. </p>
<p>It's safe to say that it's not quite that way anymore, it's seems to have become more of an isolated day that has become consumed by only doing for the one that you're in relationship with. </p>
<p>This Sweetest Day & beyond, let's try to go back to the root of being 'sweet'. </p>
<p>Be sweet to someone by having a listening ear & when you ask, "How are you doing?"-take the time to truly listen to their response. </p>
<p>In these trying days of the world, remind someone that a little sweetness still exists. </p>

<p>Word on the street is that former NBA Star, Dennis Rodman has been dubbed the 'mediator' between the U.S & North Korea. Rodman says that he can get through to Kim Jong Un way better than Trump can. </p>
<p>How so?? Glad you asked.....they play video games together, they text, they talk & they even do karaoke!!! What else is required?? Maybe Rodman can convince Jong Un to extend the olive branch on one their next ski trips...? </p>
<p>Hmmm....the guy who staged a wedding to only marry himself, can potentially be the negotiator for the Free World!! </p>

Here are some tips to help you on your next anniversary. When it comes to the gift it's hard to mess up even if it seems difficult to find something. It doesn't always have to be expensive, you could go for something more creative like a collage or if you are good at drawing you could draw each other. Now if you do have the money it is always nice to revive and expensive gift but bonus point if it's meaningful. Now that last part of the planning process is the most important, what you are going to do for the day. It doesn't have to be something extravagant like writing her name in the sky at a park you rented out. It can be as simple as going out to dinner and watching a movie at home. It all depends on what you two like to do together. I hope this helps.</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/48485252017-09-13T11:52:30-05:002017-09-13T11:52:30-05:00The 2017 Baseball Season Is Heating Up<p><a class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/846237666" id="qgnud_mhT25--b0WumgEEA" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" target="_blank">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'qgnud_mhT25--b0WumgEEA',sig:'Swl_RkErzu5X3AaJ2VcQ0jGeyNLkUstyS2fYATJ6C8s=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'846237666',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async></script></p>

<p> As we get into the final month of the 2017 regular season for Major League Baseball things are starting to heat up. We already had a great month of August following Giancarlo Stanton tying the record for most home runs in the month of August at 18. He currently has 54 home runs this season becoming only the 28th player in Major League history to hit 50 or more home runs in a single season. He is currently on pace to hit 62 home runs. </p>
<p> With the season coming to a close we saw the Cleveland Indians also make history as well. They just tied the American League record for longest win streak at 20 games. One more win and the Indians will tie the record of 21 wins in a row set by the Cubs in 1935. One more interesting record that was set this year was by the Dodgers. With their recent drought they became the first team in a single season during separate 16 game periods to win 15 of 16 and also lose 15 of 16. </p>
<p> Seeing these 2 teams set their own respective records whether good or bad it reminds me how the baseball season is not a sprint it is a marathon. A few months ago it would have been inconceivable that there would even be a chance that the Dodgers could finish second in their division. They still have a lead of 10 games as of the time of this writing but there are still more than 2 full weeks of baseball left and anything is possible. Fall is my personal favorite time of year not just simply for the weather but also to see the chase to get into the MLB playoffs. With only 3 teams having been mathematically eliminated almost everyone still has something to root for. So enjoy the cool weather, the leaves changing and your favorite team in the hunt for October.</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/48413732017-09-07T18:49:39-05:002017-09-07T18:49:40-05:00Donate to help the survivors of Hurricane Harvey. <p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/bb123b61930578e4088648d6ad6772ccd31f2b0e/medium/hurricane-harvey-one.png?1504828140" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>

<p>Jamie Foxx & Katie Holmes have finally gone public!! They were spotted on a romantic getaway over the holiday weekend in Malibu. The alleged couple has denied rumors for years about being together. Is it because Katie was bound by a 5 year 'No Public Dating' clause that she agreed to in her Pre-Nup with Tom Cruise?? Or maybe Katie is the real reason why Tom & Jamie's 'Bromance' went south.... </p>

My favorite of out the bands would have to be "The Footlight District" followed closely by "The 8-bit Creeps". The best thing about the venue was that they had two stages so while one band was playing the other could be setting up so there was nonstop live music. "The footlight district. and I ended up getting pizza together which was a really cool experience since I've always wanted to be friends with a band. The pizza was fine but what we really wanted was Taco Bell since I love Taco Bell and so does the whole band.

Over the past weekend there was a White Nationalist "protest" in Virginia; which left at least 19 injured and 1 killed after a crazed man drove his car into counter protesters. Also I have seen one too many warning about how to survive a nuclear bomb to just keep ignoring that we may be coming close to a World War 3 if we haven't already entered into a second civil war beforehand.

Remember at the end of episode 3 “The Queens Justice” The Lannister army defeated the Tyrell army and captured high garden. Jamie is very upset as the previous episode Lady Olenna before she died from poison revealed that she was the one who killed King Joffrey. Joffrey was also Jamie and Cersei illegitimate child so Jamie has a right to be upset. Bronn of the Blackwater keeps asking Jamie why he is so upset. </p>
<p>We then cut back to Kinglanding where Tycho Nestoris (who represents the Iron bank) and Cersei are having a conversation. Remember the crown owes the iron bank quite a bit of money and Cersei is paying it off right away. Tycho is saying how Cersei may be even more efficient then her father Tywin Lannister. Tycho and Cersei then talk about how the Iron Bank can help Cersei. This is important that Cersie says “I need to expand my armys my navys my hand Qyburn has made overtures to the Golden Company in Essos” The Golden Company is basically a sellsword company they are one of the largest in the free world they have quite a reputation for never breaking a contract. So when Cersei says this line it may be a huge foreshadowing “I too would like them to recover some things that belong to me to” </p>
<p>We the cut to the Valyrian Steel dagger we saw this dagger earlier in the season while Sam was at Old Town reading a book. Little Finger gives the dagger to Bran Stark. Remember back in Season 1 it was used by a Catspaw to try and kill Bran Stark. Little Finger then tries to manipulate Bran which does work. Bran ask who did this belong to which is fair question and one we may never know. Bran then quote something Little Finger had said while speaking the Varys back in Season 3 he says “Chaos is a Ladder.” Little Finger is very uneasy after that Meera Reed tells Bran she is leaving. That she needs to be with her family when the White Walkers come. Meera and Bran have an emotional scene where Bran says “I’m not really not anymore. I remember what it felt like to be Brandon Stark, but I remember so much else now “My question now is has who less of a soul now Arya or Bran? </p>
<p>Speaking of Arya she has just arrived at Winterfell. She has not been home since Season 1 so this is a big deal. She tries to get into the Castle and it is almost a call back to Season 1 when the guards would not let her in the Castle. It was very well done. Arya then escapes from the guards as they argue who will tell Sansa about this “Winter Town girl” Sansa the heads to the crypts of Winterfell. Where Arya is starring at a status of her father Ned Stark. Sansa walks down see Arya her first words are “Do I have to call you Lady Stark now?” Sansa then hugs Arya. They talk for a bit and then Sansa tells Arya “Brans home too.” </p>
<p>Sansa then takes Arya to Bran. Arya then hugs Bran. Aww the Pack is almost all back together accept Rickon, Ned, Rob and Catelyn to soon? Bran then tells Arya he saw her at the crossroads. He tell her he thought she might go to Kingsland because Cersei is on your list. Sansa then asks who else is on your list she tells Sansa most of them are already dead. Bran then gives the Valyrian Steel dagger Little Finger gave to him to Arya. Arya Sansa and Bran then walk back into the Castle. First time these 3 have been together since the early parts of Season 1. Podrick tells Brienne of Tarth Catelyn Stark would be proud you kept your vow. Remember Brienne vowed to keep the Stark Children safe, and here are 3 of the 5 Stark children safe in Winterfell I would have to agree with Podrick. Catelyn would be very proud indeed. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XELY0haRa4g" width="640"></iframe> </p>
<p>We then cut to Dragonstone Daenerys and Missandei heading down to meet with Jon Snow. Missandei asks if there was any word from the unsullied. Daenerys asks what happened between Greyworm and her. Missandei reply’s many things and smiles. Jon takes Daenerys down to where the dragonglass is. It is a wonderful sight Daenerys is almost taken back by it. Jon tells Daenerys there is something else I need to show you. Its drawing the Children of the Forest carved long time ago. Jon explains how the children of the Forest and the First men where at Dragonstone together. Jon then says “They fought together against their common enemy. Despite their differences, despite their suspicions. Together. We need to do the same if were going to survive. Because the enemy is real. It’s always been real.” Daenerys tells Jon she will fight for the North and for him once he bends the knee. She is really on this whole bend the knee thing isn’t she. Jon and Daenerys then leave the cave after an intimate moment. </p>
<p>As they leave the cave they are greeted by Tyrion and Varys they tell her the unsullied have taken Casterly Rock. Then they tell her about Euron destroying the fleet. Daenerys is upset tells Tyrion your plan has lost us Dorne, The Iron Islands and the Reach. Daenerys then asks Jon what he thinks she should do. Jon says “I never thought that dragons would exist again. No one did. The people who follow you know that you made something impossible happen. Maybe that helps them believe that you can make other impossible things happen. Build a world that’s different from the Sh#t one they’ve always known. But if you use them to melt castles and burn cities, you’re not different. You’re just more of the same.” </p>
<p>We then cut back to Winterfell with Podrick and Brienne of Tarth sparing. Arya then appears and says “don’t fight someone like her in the 1st place” Brienne and Arya then start to train. Arya with about 2 moves beats Brienne with ease. They continue Arya continues to impress with each move. After they finish Brienne asks who taught you how to do that. A girl reply’s no one. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9bI6h_9K4s0" width="640"></iframe> </p>
<p>We cut back to Dragonstone Jon and Davos are talking and Davos tell Jon he sees how he has been looking at Daenerys. They talk with Missandei about Daenerys as a ruler it’s a pretty interesting conversation. Then que the bell of a Greyjoy ship. Theon and some men return to Dragonstone. Theon looks as if he has seen a ghost as he looks at Jon. Theon ask if Sansa is alright. Jon Grabs Theon and tells him “what you did for her, is the only reason I’m not killing you.” Theon wanted to ask the Queen for help to get Yara back but Jon tells him the Queen is gone. </p>
<p>We cut back to the Lannister army. Randyll Tarly tells Jamie all the gold is safely through the gates of Kingslanding. Then come maybe the most comical scene in the entire episode. Watch the exchange below. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ToH6z5gqkIs" width="640"></iframe> </p>
<p>As they are speaking with Dickon Bronn and Jamie hear horses in the distance. The Lannister army start to prepare for an attack. The Dothraki come in charging like a horde of mad men. The Lannister men get there spears out ready for the attack. Bronn tells Jamie to get back to Kingslanding Jamie tell Bronn we can hold them off. Next thing you heard the roar of one Drogon. This has be one of the greatest scene in the Season so far and in the entire series in general. Daenerys as she rides Drogon she yells dracarys, which in high valyrin means dragon fire. Drogon burns Lannister soldiers you truly get to see what kind of damage the dragons can do. This scene was very well shot. Below they show you how this sequence was shot. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pE2wcBeyNdk" width="640"></iframe> </p>
<p>The Dothraki come through the fire and start to wipe out the Lannister soldiers. What makes the even better is we see the Dothraki while riding their horses jump up and stand on the horse and shot a crossbow, this just show how the Dothraki and masters of Horses. It was really well shot and very cool to watch. Drogon and Daenerys blow up most of the Lannister supplies and weapons it was really done well. Jamie, Bronn and Dickon are the main focus while the battle is going on. This is the 1st time we see Jamie in a battle where he is looking around and is almost helpless. Jamie tries to hit Drogon with a bunch of archer arrows but it doesn’t even seem to effect Drogon. Men are burning left and right its pure fire and blood and destruction. Jamie send Bronn to use the weapon Qyburn made to defeat the dragons. Bronn makes it to the weapon and kills a Dothraki with the weapon as well. Bronns 1st attempt misses Drogon. As Tyrion watches the battle from a hilltop. Bronn hits Drogon with his 2nd shot it hits Drogon right in the upper shoulder. Drogon seems injured but doesn’t crash he fly’s right up to the weapon and destroys it. As Bronn nearly escapes becoming a fried Blackwater. That can’t taste good. Drogons then lands and Daenerys tries to pull the spear out of Drogons shoulder. Jamie see this. He also see a spear on the battlefield as well. Tyrion see this and says “Flee you idiot. You idiot you Insert swear word here idiot” Right as Jamie gets close Drogon protect Daenerys and almost fires Jamie Lannister alive but before that Someone knocks Jamie off his house and into the water. Episode ends as Jamie is sinking in the water. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dlc14tCkCdA" width="640"></iframe> </p>
<p>My reaction what an episode. You had so much going on in this episode. From Arya returning to Winterfell and reuniting with Bran and Sansa. To Bran giving her the Valyrian Dagger. Her awesome spare with Brienne. Also the Jon and Dany stuff was very good you can see them starting to build chemistry. Also Dany seems to believe that White Walkers do exist. She is really on this bend the knee thing though. Theon and Jon scene was good as well. Dany and Drogon stole the show with that fight it was awesome and well done. I wonder where do you from here can anything top what we just saw. </p>
<p>Predictions for next episode </p>
<p>- Jamie and Bronn will get captured by Daenerys </p>
<p>- Tyrion will try to talk Daenerys out of becoming like her father </p>
<p>- Jon will get news from Winterfell </p>
<p>- Qyburn and Cersei buy an army from the Golden Company in Essos </p>
<p>- Jon will prepare for a battle at Eastwatch </p>

<p>By Joe Zalewski</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/47986652017-08-01T09:09:33-05:002017-08-01T09:09:33-05:00Game of Thrones Season 7 episode 3 “The Queen’s Justice” Recap<p>The episode starts with Jon Snow and Ser Davos arriving at Dragonstone. It goes straight into a Jon Snow and Tyrion scene. This is the 1st time Jon Snow and Tyrion have been together since season 1. The interaction between the two was great. “Tyrion: The Bastard of Winterfell. Jon Snow: The dwarf of Casterly Rock. “Tyrion then introduces himself to Ser Davos, remember Tyrion and Davos were on opposite sides during the battle of Blackwater bay. So it seems to almost come full circle. Missandei then asks all the North men to relinquish their weapons. Then they all proceed to meet Daenerys. As they walk up to meet Daenerys. Jon and Tyrion have a quite awkward conversation about Sansa. They continue to walk this line is such a good example of foreshadowing. “Tyrion: General rule of thumb Stark men don’t do well when they travel South Jon: True but I’m not a Stark.” Right after that line Jon see Drogon for the 1st time. This is foreshadowing in such a big way Jon is half Stark and half Targaryen this just symbolizes how he is a Targaryen. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6sul6YFfSUM" width="1280"></iframe> </p>
<p>Then we cut to Melisandre and Varys talking. Melisandre line is key to the overall story of the entire show “I’ve done my part I have brought Ice and Fire together.” She then tell Varys she will be traveling to Volantis. Melisandre line before leaving “Oh I will return my dear spider, one last time I have to die in this strange country just like you.” Could that be what the Red Priestess whisper in Varys ear when he was young? That question has yet to be answered, but did we get a hint maybe? </p>
<p>We then cut to the scene that has been 7 season in the making, the meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. Missandei then gives the usual breaker of chains introduction for Daenerys. Then Ser Davos introduces Jon Snow. “This is Jon Snow he’s King in the North.” Jon and Daenerys begin to talk back and forth. About the history between House Stark and House Targaryen. Daenerys apologizes for the crimes her Father the Mad King committed against House Stark Jon seems to be shocked by this. Jon Snow then explains about the army of the dead the Night King, and how they need to work together. Daenerys then gives her life story pretty much. Ser Davos then explains what Jon Snow has done. This is almost like game of one ups. Enter Varys as he whispers something into Daenerys ear. The meeting ends there. After Jon Snow and Ser Davos leave the room Varys tell Daenerys about how the Dorne, Tyrell and Greyjoys were attacked by Euron Greyjoy, and are either captured or dead. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mk1DXwb-XbM" width="1280"></iframe> </p>
<p>Cut to Theon being rescued by a shipped that survived. Speaking of Euron he is welcomed back to Kingslanding like a hero. As he marches to the castle he brings, both the Sand Snakes who were captured along with Yara Greyjoy. They enter the throne room and Euron gives Cersei the gift he promised the 2 sands. Then Cersei and Euron officially join forces. While the people cheer Euron is talking some smack to Jamie. Doesn’t Euron know not to smack talk a Kingslayer. What is interesting is Yara was not givin as a gift to Cersei so Euron still has Yara as his prisoner. We then cut to Cersei the Sands in the dungeons. Cersei is evil but this is poetic as she kisses the daughter of Ellaria Sand. Remember Ellaria Sand kissed Myrcella Lannister and had poison on her lips and that is how Myrcella died. So for Cersei to do the same thing and to make Ellaria watch as her daughter dies the same way in the dungeon is poetic. Then Jamie and Cersei get “close.” </p>
<p>We cut to Jon Snow on a cliff at Dragonstone thinking. Then Tyrion shows up and they talk. Jon is trying to figure out how to convince Daenerys to help him out, and that the White Walkers and army of the dead are real. Tyrion asks Jon Snow if there is anything he can do to help. Tyrion brings it up to Daenerys that Jon Snow wants Dragonglass. Tyrion tries to reason with Daenerys to give Jon Snow the Dragonglass let him mine the Dragongalsss. Remember Daenerys just lost the Dorne and Greyjoy Fleet so she is in some need of some new allies. Daenerys is very interested in the quote Ser Davos said in the throne room earlier in the episode. “What was that Ser Davos said? About taking a knife in the heart for his people.” It is interesting how they did not bring up Jon Snow coming back to life and how they don’t seem to want to talk about it it either. Daenerys and Jon Snow then talk alone it’s interesting that Daenerys brings up the name of her Dragons. One just happens to be named after Jon Snows true Father Daenerys Brother Rhaegar. Another example of how this episode they have been foreshadowing that Jon Snow is part Targaryen. Daenerys tell Jon Snow that she will allow him to mine the Dragonglass and forge it into weapons. </p>
<p>In the North we see Sansa taking charge in the North. Rationing food, making sure weapons are built correctly. Then we see Little finger trying to manipulate Sansa. The meeting is interrupted as Sansa get a surprise guest. Bran Stark arrives in Winterfell. Interesting to note we have not seen Bran and Sansa together since the first episode of Game of Thrones. Sansa thought Bran was dead so this is a very emotional reunion. Bran and Sansa then talk alone. First thing Bran says is I need to speak with Jon. I am paraphrasing of course. Sansa tries to tell Bran he should be the lord of Winterfell, then Bran tries to explain to Sansa about how he can’t because he is the 3 eyed raven now. It’s like me trying to explain Game of Thrones to my parents they just don’t get it. What throws Sansa off is Bran tell her about how he is sorry for everything that happened to her, and tell her exactly what happened on her wedding day. She walks away very creeped out. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BKEnQCZkK8E" width="1280"></iframe> </p>
<p>Then we cut to Jorah and Sam. Jorah is cured thanks to Sam. Jorah thanks Sam for curing him and says I hope we meet again. Sam surprisingly is not punished for curing Jorah. Maester Marwyn has a job for Sam to make copies of manuscripts and scrolls. Finally an episode this season where Sam in not doing something repulsive. </p>
<p>We cut back to Daenerys and her small council talking about how to destroy Euron fleet. You can tell Daenerys wants to do something and not just sit back. Maybe a possible foreshadow for future episodes… Then one of the coolest scenes in my option for this episode. Tyrion breaks down how Casterly Rock will be taken the voice over while you see it happening was really well done. However the unsullied take the rock way to easy. Right as the fight end Euron Greyjoy Fleet show up and start to destroy most of the unsullied ships. Jamie Lannister taking a page out of Robb Stark’s book and sends most of the Lannister army to highgarden. Something Robb Stark did when he was at war vs the Lannister’s. It makes sense to go after highgarden and the Tyrell’s as they are the richest House and have the most gold and Cersei needs gold to pay the Iron bank. The Tyrell army is defeated with ease. Jamie and Lady Olenna then sit and talk. Lady Olenna knows she is going to die. She ask how it is going to happen. Jamie talked Cersei out of anything to extreme and pour poison into her wine glass she drinks the entire glass. Then confesses she had Joffery poisoned. She wanted to tell Jamie so he can let Cersei know. That is how it ends. </p>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Djtf-nyQto" width="1280"></iframe> </p>
<p>My reaction the Jon and Daenerys went how I thought it would go. It was still awesome to see. A lot of foreshadowing in the episode. Sam finally didn’t have any gross scenes. Cersei and Euron stuff was good. Lady Olenna stole the show with the last scene overall very good. Could have been more action but I get it. They are setting up that big battle to come this season. </p>
<p>Prediction for next episode </p>
<p>- Jon and Daenerys will officially become Allies </p>
<p>- Jamie and Bronn will get captured </p>
<p>- A fight between the Lannister’s and Dany and Jon will happen </p>
<p>- Arya will return to Winterfell </p>
<p>- Gendry will return </p>
<p>Until next week thanks for reading and as always is it Sunday yet??? </p>

<p> </p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/47932652017-07-26T17:01:56-05:002017-07-26T17:02:23-05:00Game of Thrones Season 7 episode 2 “Stromborn Recap”<p>Game of Thrones left off right where episode 1 ended. We go straight to Daenerys at Dragonstone with her advisors during a storm. Quick nod to the episode name. Daenerys and Varys talk about loyalty. Remember in season one Varys was the one who tried to have Daenerys poisoned by King Roberts’s orders. Fast forward to now Varys swears to Daenerys he will remain loyal to her and if he has issues to talk to her face to face rather than plot behind her back. Also Daenerys tells Varys if he betrays her she will have him burned alive. </p>
<p>Enter Melisandre she talk with Daenerys about the prince who was promised prophecy. It was interesting as the translation in high valerian gender does not matter when it comes to the prophecy, which means it could the prince or princess who was promised. She tells Daenerys she has a part to play in the coming wars as does another Jon Snow long story short Tyrion send a raven to Jon Snow inviting him to Dragonstone to meet with Daenerys. Jon, Sansa and Ser Davos discuss the letter from Tyrion. I mean dragons can defeat white walkers so it would make sense. </p>
<p>While back in Kingslanding Cersei Lannister Queen of the seven kingdoms. Tries to rally the other Westeros Houses against Daenerys. After the meeting Randyll Tarly and Jamie Lannister speak in private Jamie asks the Tarlys to betray House Tyrell if he does he will name him warden of the south. Sam and Maester Marwyn have a quick scene with Jeor Mormont. Maester Marwyn basically tell Jeor we will let you stay one more day and that the infected grayscale has spread too far we can’t cure you. Qyburn and Cersei make a weapon that can hurt dragons. </p>
<p>Back in Dragonstone Daenerys and her council make plans on how to take Westeros. The plan is Greyjoys and Dorne will sail for Kingslanding the Dorne and Tyrell arm will take Kingslanding. While that is going on the unsullied will take Casterly Rock. It’s important to note Tyrion Lannister was in charge of the sewers in Casterly Rock so he has more knowledge about Casterly Rock then anyone. At the end of the meeting Daenerys has a talk with Lady Olenna. Lady Olenna had a very cool line “The lords of Westeros are sheep. Are you a sheep? No you’re a dragon, be a Dragon.” Then Greyworm and Missandei get really close. </p>
<p>Back to Sam and Maester Marwyn. Marwyn is writing a book call A Chronicles of wars following the death of King Robert the third. That sure rolls of the tongue then, Sam suggest something a bit more poetic. Sam talks about something he read that can cure greyscale. Marwyn say the procedure is far too dangerous and is forbidden. Sam then walks in on Jeor writing a letter to Daenerys. Says tell Jeor about himself and tells him you’re not dying. As Sam for a second straight episode wins award for grossest scene in the episode. No seriously why does Sam get all the gross scene so far this season? </p>
<p>And then the transition from Greyscale to a pie was gross but seamless well done Game of Thrones well done. We find Arya in a pub and she runs into no other than hotpie have not seen him in a while. She begins to eat a pie and drink some ale her and hot pie begin to talk. Hotpie ask if she is going back to Winterfell. Remember Arya has not been In Winterfell since season 1 Arya also believes her family is dead. Arya says no why would I the Bolton’s control it. Hotpie tell her about how Jon Snow retook the north and how he is king in the north. Arya jump on her horse and make a decision go to kingslanding to kill Cersei or head back home. I can’t help but remember a line from last season “A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell and I’m going home” Arya in the crossroad makes the decision yes to head home to Winterfell. </p>
<p>Speaking of Winterfell Jon receives another letter for Sam tell him about the Dragonglass under Dragonstone. He has a meeting and tell everyone he is going to meet with Daenerys everyone is against him going. Remember Starks have not done so well once they leave the North examples. Rickard Stark burned alive by the Mad King, Robb Stark killed at the Red Wedding, Ned Stark got executed by King Joffery and Rickon Stark killed by Ramsey Bolton for not know what a zig zag is. So you can see why everyone does not want him to go. Sansa freaks out but Jon tells everyone he is leaving the North in Sansa hands. Before Jon leaves he visits the Crypt where there is a status of Ned and Lyanna Stark. Littlefinger tells Jon how he loved his mother and Sansa. Jon grabs him very similar to how Ned did in season one. Tell him if you touch my sister I will kill you myself. Jon and Davos leave for Dragonstone. </p>
<p>Back to Arya she is heading back to Winterfell she is talking a break with her horse. Then she hears something she grabs her sword. Next thing you know she is sounded by a pack of wolves. A direwolf appears right behind her it is her direwolf Nymeria. We have not seen Nymeria since season one when Arya saved her life having her run away after attacking Prince Joffery. Arya tells her how see is going North back home and asks Nymeria to join her. Nymeria walks away with her pack. Arya follows up with the line “It’s not you.” Which is a line Arya said to Ned when Ned was talking about the life she was to have back in season one. </p>
<p>Then we cut to the Greyjoy fleet on its way to Kingslanding. We see some intimate moments between Yara and Ellaria Sand right after they are attacked by Euron Greyjoy. Euron came to the ship with a claw like drawbridge. Euron facial expressions were priceless. He goes on killed people left and right the first big battle we have seen this season. Euron kills two of the Sand Snakes. Euron captures Yara tell Theon “I have her come and get her.” Theon then looks around drops his sword and jumps off the ship. Euron laughs we see Theon is the water and that is how the episode ends. </p>
<p>Reaction I thought it was a very good episode. I really liked the Daenerys stuff. The Jon Snow stuff was also very good and well done. I just wish they would have done something more in the Crypt scene, his real Mother statue was right there could have revealed who his parents were right there. The Sam stuff is gross but will have a big payoff Arya just continues to have fantastic scenes. The Euron and ship fights were fantastic and well done. </p>

<p> Who would've ever thought that the guy who's Straight Outta Compton & said 'F*ck Tha Police' would share sounds(literally) with a Jewish guy who's Straight Outta Brooklyn, & received his big break in the early 70's with John Lennon, would create history-together?? All via the late Steve Jobs who was given up for adoption at birth & an alleged drug user, but yet was the mastermind behind the whole Apple music concept?? Geez. They did it though, Andre Young, better known as Dr. Dre & Jimmy Iovine sold Beats electronics to Apple music in 2014 for $3 billion dollars. </p>
<p>Their four part docu-series can explain it much better than I ever could. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>On a trip in Los Angeles and ran into the fabulous actor, dad and gentleman, “Sam Elliot”. He first came out of the Tea shop, we made eye contact and nodded. Then quietly inside I freaked out like, “Oh SH*T, was that SAM ELLIOT? DAMN, I love “RoadHouse”, “Tombstone”…and wow, dad loves him too!” So I got up and walked around over to him and literally as i was approaching him about 7 feet away, the great Sam Elliot stands up and reaches out his hand and says “Hello BROTHER”, in that natural Elliot voice. We shook hands, talked for 10 mins, he gave me his agents contact info and I left. Go out and see “THE HERO” everyone, I believe this will be his biggest role ever! Come on Academy Awards!!! </p>
<p>What a down to earth human being, proud of you Mr. Elliot and congrats on “THE RANCH” AND “THE HERO”. </p>
<p>BTW… keep your mind on clean thoughts, that’s his lovely daughter(she is super cool!) </p>

<p>The "RIGHT STUFF" is a term often associated with the New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) as their 1988 hit is arguably their biggest. The simple verses, catchy pop vocals and dancing has stayed in pop culture lore some 30 years later. As each of the members embarked on many endeavors over that time span, one new kid truly shows he has the right stuff as he held a benefit concert to raise $759k to Help Kids with Autism For <a contents="Generation Rescue" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://generationrescue.org" target="_blank">Generation Rescue</a> along with his wife Jenny McCarthy. It is reported that funds raised at this year's event will be allocated to build integrative health clinics in Missouri and Illinois.</p>

<p>I had the pleasure of attending the red carpet along with the concert itself at the historic Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL. The New Kids were just in the Chicagoland Area on their <em>Total Package</em> tour along with <strong>Boyz II Men</strong> and <strong>Paula Abdul</strong>. From the expectations of last year years One Night with Donnie Wahlberg, this year's <em>Another Evening with Donnie Wahlberg & Special Guests</em> exceeded last year's show both in monetary gain for <a contents="Generation Rescue" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://generationrescue.org" target="_blank">Generation Rescue</a>, but also that of excitement and enjoyment of the crowd. One crowd member spoke to me while waiting for the red carpet to begin and stated she drove from the northern part of Atlanta to see this show. I had other people sitting around me at the venue stating this is a "small sample" of what the excitement is on the NKOTB cruises. </p>
<p>On the red carpet, members of <strong>Naughty by Nature</strong> shared how excited they were to be part of this show, as they had a cousin who has Autism (see video from our <a contents="EDGE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheEdgeOnAir/videos/10155234232710180/" target="_blank">EDGE</a> Facebook LIVE below to see interview or <a contents="click here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheEdgeOnAir/videos/10155234232710180/" target="_blank">click here</a>). After seeing the walk the red carpet, I knew they were to take the stage as surprise guests later.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Photo by Brian Babineau - courtesy of Generation Rescue</p>
<p>Jenny McCarthy met the media and thanked all for being there and explained about the cause and what it meant to her. Jenny opened the show with an emotional speech, what was in store and what it meant to have her husband Donnie embrace her and her family since their marriage. She then introduced her husband to an electric applause as the show was to begin.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/8ffc5f30e5d436bd0c6f250d83c5f7ab8d6888f9/medium/dsc-0957.jpg?1499368590" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Photo by Brian Babineau - courtesy of Generation Rescue</p>
<p>Donnie started with some kind words and a newer song <em>Thankful </em>from the NKOTB new EP. The crowd's excitement hit a peak as he followed the song with <em>Remix</em> with fellow New Kid Joey McIntyre. After the excitement of one New Kid, at other points of the night both Jordan Knight and Danny Wood joined in the fun to sing either solo songs, or classics such as Jackson 5's<em> I'll Be There</em> (a staple of New Kids concerts in the late 80's). Donnie jumped to the middle of the crowd to share how much this event meant not only to him, but his wife, in a tearful speech while she smiled from the balcony. One could hear many fans saying aloud "Oh, he's crying," as to which he wasn't afraid to share his emotions. He also displayed a check to the crowd in reference to his personal donation.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/78117735a10652876cff91e1be60920484751b46/medium/bab-2178.jpg?1499371557" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Photo by Brian Babineau - courtesy of Generation Rescue</p>
<p>A youth choir (<strong>Chicago Children's Choir</strong>) joined to be background for a handful of songs intermittently throughout the evening. The momentum built as <strong>Naughty by Nature</strong> hit the stage to perform hits such as<em> O.P.P.</em> and <em>Hip Hop Hooray</em>. They shared a moment with Donnie on their encounters with Autism and had the whole crowd on their feet. </p>
<p>A highlight of the evening was Donnie stated he wanted to perform his favorite NKOTB song which he recorded all of 30 years ago, <em>I Need You</em> off their <em>Hangin' Tough</em> Album. He admitted his voice was tired because of the lengthy tour, but it wasn't much needed when he had the crowd sing along to <em>Cover Girl</em>. </p>
<p>In another exciting twist, two members of <strong>Boyz II Men</strong> appeared on stage and sang along with NKOTB to <em>One Sweet Day</em> as the fans sang the Mariah Carey parts of the song. The energy reached a crescendo when all performers hit stage singing <em>Motown Philly</em>.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/b7c7b6c23566ccfeea280ae266d6d044769530a7/medium/bab-2263.jpg?1499371705" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Photo by Brian Babineau - courtesy of Generation Rescue</p>
<p>Other select New Kids songs performed were <em>Dirty Dancing</em> and <em>One Song</em> off<em> THE BLOCK </em>album. You knew the ending was going to be a high point as once again all performers singing a medley of<em> The Right Stuff / Hangin' Tough</em>. The crowd went to a frenzy as confetti canons exploded and all waved along to the New Kids classics. </p>
<p>Fans in the crowd knew the show was over but still chanted for one more song, and even though it never came, everyone left feeling like they just left a 1991 summer concert at the Rosemont Horizon. Having experienced large arena shows for NKOTB, it was cool to experience this smaller setting for a change. After seeing both Joey McIntyre and Jordan Knight perform solo at the House of Blues in Chicago and this was close to that in terms of size. Almost like being in the crowd of the 1989 VHS of Hangin' Tough Live! Now that would be a dream. I’ve actually had the crazy opportunity to perform twice with Jordan in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska about 10 years ago, but that is a blog post for another day.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/be283d1719d33f75086c67c706f33d8a5a2be12b/medium/bab-2297.jpg?1499372615" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Photo by Brian Babineau - courtesy of Generation Rescue</p>
<p>Although the size has been pared down, the message is bigger and obviously more meaningful to Donnie and his family. 20 years ago it was to entertain millions of fans, now he uses his celebrity to help those in need. I encourage people to stop by the<a contents=" Generation Rescue website" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://generationrescue.org"> Generation Rescue website</a> to get more information and make a donation to a great cause. #DWxGR2017</p>

<p>The time 4:44 has become more than just the time on the clock. It is now the infamous title for Jay-Z's week old platinum selling new album. </p>
<p>But what does '4:44' really mean?? </p>
<p> Glad you asked... </p>
<p>The numbers 444 are said to personify inner wisdom, honesty, harmony and attention. Positivity at it's finest. </p>
<p>Jay-Z grasped onto these golden nuggets and nurtured them into enlightening vibes & synchronized beats and thus, created history. It has indeed 'Caught The Eye' of many and caused them to 'Smile'.? </p>

It’s called the RompHim, a male version of the popular garment for ladies. Well, it appears that the wave of being trendy has hit Mattel. The makers of the famous “Barbie” toyline introduced their upcoming line of dolls featuring many new skin tones and hairstyles. That second one is what caught most of the attention. Among the many new hairdos, is one that is maybe is the most debated since cornrows in the boardroom (see NBA). That’s right the ‘man-bun’ is making its presence felt. Ol Barb’s longtime beau Ken will be sporting the look and its as hilarious as it sounds. The only thing that would make this any more ridiculous is if they included the RompHim as Kenneth’s wardrobe item of choice. Maybe even include a fidget spinner! Wait, did I just come up with a genius marketing plan? Time will tell how any of these items succeed long term, but for now ‘hilarious’ comes to mind when I think about it all. Also, if they run with my marketing idea, this shall serve as proof to my creating it. Agreed?</p>

<p>-Josh Buckhalter</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/47586702017-06-27T09:19:38-05:002023-12-10T10:45:35-06:00ROH BEST IN THE WORLD 2017 REVIEW<p>This past Friday night Ring of Honor presented Best in the World 2017 from Lowell, MA live on PPV and iPPV. The show featured 8 big matches with all 4 Ring of Honor championships on the line. The stars of CMLL (El Terrible & Ultimo Guerrero) and NJPW star KUSHIDA were also on the show as per the working agreement between ROH and the aforementioned promotions. </p>
<p>The show began with The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Vinny Marseglia) with the still injured third member of the trio, TK O'Ryan in their corner against the CMLL Legends from Mexico, El Terrible & Ultimo Guerrero. The Kingdom had a very impressive entrance complete with Matt Taven on a throne and Vinny Marseglia being wheeled in like Hannibal Lecter in a straight jacket. The story behind this match is Matt Taven was sent to Mexico on excursion due to the working agreement between ROH and CMLL. In his time there Matt Taven managed to ire the legendary Luchadore Ultimo Guerrero. Some back and forth action in this one at a frantic pace. The fans were into Ultimo Guerrero in this one. Everyone got a chance to shine in this one and it was eventually won by Team CMLL when Guerrero rolled up Marsegila for the 3 in 11:10. Good opening match that got the crowd into the show. </p>
<p>Next up was Hangman Page vs. Franke Kazarian in a Strap match. This was not a typical Strap match where the two would be tied by a leather strap and have to touch all 4 top turnbuckle pads to win. Instead both men were simply handed leather straps and told to beat each other with them senseless. The match could end by pinfall, submission or KO. This match was brutal as both men whipped each other mercilessly with their leather straps. The fight went all over the ringside area. At one point Hangman Page tied Kazarian up in the ropes using his signature hangman's noose before whipping the defenseless Kazarian over and over. Eventually things got even more brutal if that was possible, when Page introduced a leather strap with thumbtacks and nails stuck in it. Kazarian and Hangman Page both felt the brunt of that torturous strap and blood began to flow. In an ironic twist Hangman Page was choked out by Frankie Kazarian with the strap and Kazarian got the win in 12:06. I haven't seen a strap match in while in mainstream wrestling and there hasn't been one in ROH for quite some time. Both these guys brought the brutality and Hangman Page looked very good in this match despite the loss. Odd he would lose however a week before the NJPW G1 Special in USA where he's going to be part of the IWGP United States Championship tournament. </p>
<p>An eight-man tag team match followed with a special stipulation; the losing team must disband. Search and Destroy (Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Jay White & Jonathan Gresham) vs. The Rebellion (Caprice Coleman, Kenny King, Rhett Titus & Shane Taylor). These two factions have been at war with each other for several months with things finally coming to a head here in this match. First off, let me just saw Caprice Coleman is one of the most underrated wrestlers in ROH and in all of Pro Wrestling. Between his in-ring and promo work the guy has been killing it. Props to Shane Taylor as well for losing 60 pounds. Rebellion's whole story in ROH has been that feel they've been disrespected by ROH management. Jay White since coming to ROH on a learning excursion from NJPW has been undefeated in six months. Several near falls teased in this one as there were high spots all over the place. Eventually Search and Destroy had all 4 members of Rebellion trapped in submission moves and they got the win in 12:45. So, the Rebellion must now disband. I find it a little odd that Search and Destroy won this match. Jay White is on loan from NJPW and should be due to return to Japan any day now. You would think Search and Destroy would be the ones that disband. The question is, now who do Search and Destory fight next? There aren't many factions in ROH with 4 members or more aside from Bullet Club. </p>
<p>Jay Lethal took on Silas Young next. Young had Beer City Bruiser at ringside but Lethal quickly took out the Bruiser with a chair before the bell. Silas Young doesn't get enough credit as he's been one of the best wrestlers to come out of the Midwest in years. Lethal's resume meanwhile speaks for itself. This was a very good match that easily could have been for the ROH World Championship. Young was getting frustrated when he couldn't put Lethal away. Silas finally grabbed the Beer City Brusier's keg. Before he could use it though, Jay Lethal rolled up Young for the 3 at 16:40. Some people were poo-pooing the finish but I had no issues with it. Young was upset because he couldn't beat Lethal straight up and tried to cheat but he got caught in a pinning predicament when he took his eye off the ball. Lethal is not a former ROH World Champion for nothing. There was a post-match beatdown where Young and Beer City Bruiser destroyed Lethal with the keg. Bruiser then put Jay Lethal through a table with a splash off the top. They had to carry Lethal to back. Lethal is in the tournament for the IWGP United States Championship coming up this Saturday in LA so you have to wonder if this will effect him in that match. </p>
<p>The first of 4 title matches was next with The Briscoes & Bully Ray putting the titles on the line against Dalton Castle & The Boys. Dalton Castle is probably the most over guy on the ROH roster. There was a little bit of everything in this match. Castle and Bully had some comedy spots early on. Jay Briscoe was like a powder keg ready to explode. The story of the match was Briscoe wanting to get his hands on The Boys. Eventually Jay Briscoe snaps and tries to kill one of the Boys with a chair. The Boys hightail it out of there. Meanwhile Bully Ray tries to talk some sense into Jay, leaving his brother Mark alone with Dalton Castle. Castle gets the small package on Mark Briscoe in 13:45 and we've got new champions. Dalton Castle wins his first championship in Ring of Honor. This was a good six-man tag, nothing great but the fans were into it. They also told a good story with Jay Briscoe's temper costing his team the championship. You have to wonder where they go with Bully and Briscoes from here. </p>
<p>A rematch for the ROH World TV Championship was next as KUSHIDA put the title on the line against the man he defeated for a belt a few weeks ago, Marty Scurll. KUSHIDA has been on fire in the last month. He's been putting on great match after great match. He won the NJPW Best of Super Juniors and the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship in a great match against Hiromu Takahashi. Marty Scurll meanwhile joined Bullet Club and had a strong showing in NJPW part of the Best of the Super Juniors. The story of this match was a simple one. Marty Scurll kept trying to set up KUSHIDA for the Chicken Wing while KUSHIDA kept going after the wrist of Scurll for the Hoverboard Lock. A lot of back and forth and counter wrestling in this one. Scurll at one point thought he had the Chicken Wing locked in only for KUSHIDA to counter into the Hoverboard Lock. Scurll finally got the Chicken Wing but KUSHIDA would not give up. The finish came with Scurll went to break the fingers of KUSHIDA on the second turnbuckle only for KUSHIDA to break SCURLL's fingers! KUSHIDA then delivered the Back to the Future from the second rope! Then another Back to the Future for good measure to get the 3 at 14:54. This was by far, IMO, the best match of the card. Both of these guys are on top of their game right now and they work well together. It is a little intriguing that KUSHIDA retained the TV Championship considering he's not a mainstay ROH guy as he's part-time due to his NJPW contract. I would like to see a third match between these two for the title at some point. </p>
<p>The semi-man event was originally Young Bucks defending the ROH World Tag Team Championship against War Machine two-on-two. Before the match could start however, Trent Beretta and Chuck Taylor aka Best Friends, showed up. Best Friends picked up a win over Young Bucks and wanted a championship match in a 3-way Tornado tag. Young Bucks accepted and this match became a 3-way. Seeings as how it became a 3-way match this allowed for this match to become an all-out spotfest. I also want to say, I'm glad Chuck Taylor is finally getting some exposure on a bigger stage. Chuck Taylor has been busting his butt for years on the indy scene but hasn't got a big break. I hope he continues to get bookings with ROH. The crowd was into this match as they chanted, “This is Awesome.” Creative finish the Bucks hitting a double Indy Taker on Best Friends before hitting the Double Superkick on War Machine to get the pin and retain the championship at 12:27. This was a fun match and I did not expect to see Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta added to the match. I would like to see War Machine get a straight two-on-two match at some point. The problem is that Young Bucks have run through about every tag team at this point in ROH. However, due to their overwhelming popularity I don't expect them to lose the championship anytime soon. </p>
<p>Finally we had the main event of the evening with Cody Rhodes challenging Christopher Daniels for the ROH World Championship. Rhodes was of course was also representing Bullet Club. Daniels has been synonymous with ROH for years. Christopher Daniels has been in ROH since day one but never won the ROH Championship until back in March of this year at the 15th anniversary show when he defeated former Bullet Club member Adam Cole. So, this match was not just about Cody trying to bring home a World championship for the Rhodes family for the first-time in 30 years. It was also about Cody trying to win back the ROH World Championship for his group, Bullet Club. Daniels not only fighting to keep his Cinderella story going but also fighting for Ring of Honor. You could feel the desperation of Daniels to keep his championship in this match. Marty Scurll of Bullet Club made his presence known sliding in a chair. Daniels tried to pull an Eddie Guerrero with the chair to get Cody DQ'ed. Frankie Kazarian, Daniels tag team partner and best friend came to ringside to neutralize Scurll. Cody Rhodes used the Rainmaker a message to opponent on July 1st for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. A table spot was teased throughtout the match with both men finally crashing through the table. Daniels was nearly counted out but made it back in just before the 20-count (there's a 20-count on the floor in ROH). Daniels went for Angel's Wings only for Rhodes to counter into a hurricanrana. Rhodes hit the Cross-Rhodes at 19:18 to become the NEW ROH World Champion. Bullet Club, Young Bucks and Marty Scurll, came out to celebrate with the new champion. Rhodes now has a chance to become the first man to hold both the ROH World Championship and IWGP Heavyweight Championship at the same time. </p>
<p>Overall, a sold show from top to bottom. Nothing really bad and the TV Championship was great. Cody Rhodes had his best performance I think I've seen from him on the independent scene since leaving WWE last year. I recommend checking out the show. ROH PPV doesn't disappoint. </p>

<p>From the onset of the song with a short but impactful vocal run, the listener knows they are going to get a solid singer in the song "Done" by new artist Cheyenne Goss. The singular notes at the beginning allows for this to stand out, and lead you exactly where the song wants to take you. </p>
<p>The pacing of the vocals takes you a bit off guard as the quickness of her vocal tempo is a nice surprise than one may not have expected. She is able to hold strong to the dictation so the listener isn't lost with this sudden change of anticipated pace. The subtle harmonies by the 3rd line or so reiterates to the listener that she can handle her own vocally.</p>
<p>Many times in top Country songs the refrain is a "hit you in the face" change of pace, with the title of the song standing out. This song, takes a change of pace. It makes you want to listen again and again to notice how she shares her emotion in a quieter tone while actually saying the word "Done."</p>
<p>There is something to be said for a singer to get so much into a song in less than 3 minutes, and in 2:43, Cheyenne hits the mark.</p>
<p>Her final line of singing about not having to "cry any longer" is where one may expect a bridge, but instead the background fades, and you are left once again with just the vocals standing out, and anticipating an ending that never comes, which again, is an unexpected twist in a positive way.</p>
<p>You are almost sad that "Done" is over when one the main highlights of the tune is the ending. But one may ask what does it leave? It leaves you wanting to hear more of this new artist, as if her further releases are anything like this, her career is far from done.</p>

<p>The annual BET Awards are coming up in a matter of days and it's safe to say not everyone agrees with the choices of nominees. I'm especially confused about the picks for the Best New Artist category! Only one Artist pictured above deserves the award and it's long over due. Trust me I'm not just saying that because he's from Chicago either. However we'll all have to see how it turns out don't miss the BET awards this Sunday June 25th.-Amber Perry</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/47536242017-06-22T10:02:27-05:002017-06-22T10:02:27-05:00Rapper XXXTENTACION Punches Fan<p><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zyavqxu32qc" width="560"></iframe></p>

Some were born to sing the blues. - Journey "Don't Stop Believing" - 1981<p>This is the best way I could describe Sunday night's WWE "Special Event" on the WWE Network...Money in the Bank 2017. The show emanating from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, MO featured 6 matches (7 if you want to include the Kickoff match but who cares about that?). 2 of those matches were the signature match type of the event, Money in the Bank. Of course, the only way to win the match is to climb a ladder and retrieve the metal briefcase hanging from the ceiling. Inside the briefcase is a contract good for a championship match anytime anyplace anywhere for the next 12 months. </p>
<p>Sunday's event featured a historic first-ever Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match. 5 women competed in the match for a contract for a match with the SmackDown (Live) Women's Champion. The match featured former 4-time RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair (daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair), former SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch, former Divas Champion Natalya (daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart), Tamina Snuka (daughter of the late great 'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka), and Carmella (accompanied by her 'Manager' ((and I use that term loosely)) James Ellsworth). As far as the match went, the women worked hard and used the ladders on their opponents. There weren’t very many high spots in this match, most likely because they saved them for the main event. The thing everyone is talking about this match is the controversial ending. Becky Lynch was climbing the ladder to retrieve the briefcase and seemed to have it in her grasp. James Ellsworth entered the ring knocking Becky Lynch off the ladder. With his “boo” Carmella watching below, Ellsworth, a man, and then preceded to climb the ladder and unhook the briefcase. James Ellsworth then dropped the case down to Carmella. The referees were confused as the bell rang and Carmella’s music played. Carmella was declared the winner and the fans were outraged. Many fans took to Twitter to rage about it. It wasn’t so much that a dastardly Heel had cheated to win that upset fans it’s that a man, more or less handed a woman a victory. This was the historic first ever Women’s Money in the Bank. A match like this had never been done before. The WWE even aired a video package before the match hyping this as a big attraction and including such wrestling legends like Mae Young, Fabulous Moolah, Wendy Richter, Trish Stratus and Lita. The end to this match went totally against all of that and left a bitter taste in many a fans mouth. The WWE has been pushing the agenda of the “Women’s Revolution” in Pro Wrestling, designed to empower women. How is that helping their cause when a man basically does the work for her? Regardless Carmella was declared the winner. You have to think this will not stand and by the time I finish writing this WWE will find some way to explain it and away and either have another MITB Womens match on SmackDown Tuesday night or strip Carmella of the briefcase. </p>
<p>Moving on, you had the SmackDown Tag Team Champions the Usos defending against The New Day. This was a very good match until the finish. The finish came when the Usos decided to leave the ring and got their selves intentionally counted out. Titles cannot change hands on a count-out in WWE so even though New Day won, Usos kept their championships. Obviously this was done to bring about a reason for a rematch for the Tag Team Championship at the next SmackDown “Special Event”, Battleground. However, after the fans just witnessed a bad finish it wasn’t a good idea to go with another bad finish. </p>
<p>Speaking of bad you had SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi defending her championship in against Lana in her debut match. Yes, this was Lana’s first ever singles match in WWE and it was for a championship on a Pay-Per-View. As far as the match went, Lana looked good on offense but when it came time for her to be on the defensive you could tell she just isn’t quite ready yet. I think WWE is rushing the development of Lana as in-ring performer. I personally think Lana is better suited as a manager and not as a wrestler. During the match, Money in the Bank winner Carmella walked out to ringside teasing a cash-in. Carmella did not cash-in and Naomi locked Lana in her submission and retained her title. This match was not good, Naomi is not a bad wrestler but Lana is. When the SmackDown Women’s roster is loaded with good wrestlers, Lana being a bad wrestler really stands out. </p>
<p>Next was the WWE Championship match, Jinder Mahal defending the championship against former champion Randy Orton. This was a rematch of their match at Backlash, where Jinder Mahal captured the title. Randy Orton is from St. Louis so he was the hometown favorite going into this one. Orton, a third generation wrestler, had his father WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton at ringside. Several other notable Legends/HOF members were at ringside including Larry “The Ax” Hennig, Baron Van Raschke, Sgt. Slaughter and Ric Flair. Mahal spent the majority of the match working over Orton’s knee. Mahal taunted Ric Flair at ringside by slapping on his patented submission finisher The Figure 4 Leglock. The end of the match came when the Singh Brothers (who accompanied Jinder Mahal) threated Randy Orton’s father Cowboy Bob. Randy then destroyed the Singh Brothers in a scene nearly identical to the one in his match vs. Mahal at Backlash. Orton then entered the ring to receive the Khallas from Mahal. Mahal retained his championship. This match was slightly average. Nothing about Mahal overly impresses me. Also, they repeated the same exact finish from their match at Backlash to a tee almost. They got some good Heel heat I suppose on Jinder by beating Orton in his hometown and involving his father on Father’s Day. I’m ready for this feud to be over. </p>
<p>Breezango took on The Ascension in a nothing 3 minute match. Turns out The Ascenion were the ones that trashed the Fashion File Office. Breezango won. Yay, this was filler. </p>
<p>The main event was the 6-man Money in the Bank Ladder match for the WWE Champion Contract match: Baron Corbin vs. Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens. This was by far, the match of the night. Shinsuke Nakamura was jumped during his entrance by Baron Corbin. Nakamura then spent about 22 minutes of the 30 minute match backstage. During that time Kevin Owens and AJ Styles nearly killed themselves with some insane bumps off the ladder. Sami Zayn did a tremendous sunset flip powerbomb off the ladder as well. Baron Corbin was attempting to climb the ladder to grab the case when Nakamura music hit and he returned. Nakamura then laid out everyone including Corbin with his signature move, the Kinshasa. Eventually Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles came face-to-face. This is when the match really got good. The crowd was going nuclear. AJ and Nakamura together folded up the ladder and stood face to face in the center of the ring. They then went at. After an awesome exchange between Styles and Nakamura ended with Shinsuke with the upper-hand, Nakamura went to climb the ladder. Before Nakamura could grab the case, Baron Corbin was there to knock him off the ladder. Corbin then climbed the ladder and grabbed the case. So, Baron Corbin was heavily predicted to win this match, and he did. I have no qualms with Corbin winning. A Heel typically wins this match about 93% of the time. Everyone looked good in this match. We got a nice tease of AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura as well. This match saved the show from being a total dumpster fire. </p>
<p>Overall, I felt like this event was much like Extreme Rules in the fact that the main event saved the show from total mediocrity. There were a lot of bad finishes though. New Day vs. Usos was a very good match until the bad finish, the Women’s Ladder match was a good match until the bad finish, Lana vs. Naomi was just bad, Orton vs. Mahal was a repeat of Backlash, and the Money in the Bank match delivered. This was a very skippable show with maybe the exception of the main event. </p>

<p>This week on Lue's World I gave my opinion on this years pick for XXL's 2017 "Freshman class". If you didn't tune in live here's a little recap; ITS TRASH!! Once again the staff at XXL have failed to pick a fitting selection to represent the up and coming generation of hiphop and rap. I am not an expert by any means but if I had a say this would be my 10 selections for this years cover. In no particular order </p>
<p>•Kashdoll <br>•Migos (Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff) because idk if they don't do groups these guys also do music independently as well <br>•Cardi B <br>•NBA Young Boy <br>•Rae Sremmurd (Swae Lee, Slim Jxmmi) <br>• Dreezy <br>• Young M.A </p>

<p>So far, the answer is a resounding yes. Saturday, June 10th marked the release of the first trailer for Anthem, the new original game from Mass Effect creative studio Bioware. This trailer came with a cost though, we got a promise that we would see gameplay during Microsoft's press conference 24 hours later. </p>
<p>And, oh boy, did we get it. </p>
<p>I can't lie, I'm a bit of a Bioware fanboy. I haven't played a game from them that i didn't enjoy. When I saw the Bioware logo appear on the screen, my eyes lit up. From what footage they showed at E3 on Sunday, it looks like we're in for quite the multiplayer treat. </p>
<p>Too bad we have to wait til next year to find out.</p>

Its not a fully featured weather app like Weather Bug, however the way it delivers its forecast is where this app really shines. Every time I decide I need a good quick laugh I open up this app. I have had forecasts such as "The sun harbors bad thoughts towards you. Is that weird?" or "it's warm, so you'd better stay hydrated. Just remember, beer has a lot of water in it." If your'e looking for a good laugh definitely give this app a try..

<p>by Peter Ferreri</p>
<p>When you see the phrase "INVITATION ONLY" on a concert promotional flyer you may often think, SURE for thousands of people and the band will perform one song. However the outstanding event from BMI with the invite from Webster PR was one of the best country events I may have ever attended. Sure I have been to stadium tours for huge acts like Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts and I have been to small bar shows for 20 people like Jeremy McComb (he's great - look him up). </p>
<p>I had the opportunity to not only meet some outstanding industry professionals from producers to PR reps to managers and other media members, but I got to speak and meet the stars as well, LOCASH and Maggie Rose. I have been thankful before to interview <a contents="Maggie Rose" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://theedgeonair.com/maggie-rose">Maggie Rose</a> on more than one occasion including an in studio <a contents="show on the EDGE lounge" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=virIEQ2pL4Y">show on the EDGE lounge</a> and it was great to see her grow with her new EP "Dreams > Dollars" as she performed some of the tracks live. She prefaced the songs in a direct and encouraging way that led you waiting anxiously to hear each and every new track. To me "Body on Fire" stole the set as she performed with such passion and fervor, I couldn't want to listen again to experience those feelings once more that is something only music can do. Maggie has been a favorite artist of the EDGE and that will not stop anytime soon.</p>
<p>This was my first experience with LOCASH and seeing them perform felt like they transported a bar on Broadway to the rooftop of BMI. From what I heard this was the first of its kind and I am glad they are making a series out of it. They had great sponsors like SAM ADAMS, TEXAS ROADHOUSE and DICKEL. I of course tried one of the beverages from Dickel, and well, they have a new friend (may have even texted one of my directors a picture of the greatness of the drink).</p>
<p>LOCASH brought a fun element of their performances sometimes which get's lost in the hustle and bustle of a concert. One thing that stood out to me was even though they didn't play all their tracks, or my "favorite" of theirs - "Aint Starting Tonight" I didn't even think to myself I didn't have a great time. I know sometimes being so ingrained in music and all the tracks of particular artists, that if they don't perform one of my favorite songs I feel I missed something (At least when I saw Backstreet Boys in 2005 they sang "Siberia" and Blake Shelton that same year sang "The Baby.")</p>
<p>When the show was done, the outstanding part was both Maggie and LOCASH took the time to meet all the people at the event, "Press the Flesh" (which some people up north don't know what it means) and enjoy the night. As the event was about to break down I took my time overlooking the Nashville night sky and thought...I LOVE THIS LIFE.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/ec43c2237a79a46fe04077683a7e4ed2b6fc3bb7/medium/locash-pete.jpg?1496356516" class="size_m justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/25956/58346ac47e1d9e99763cf91d349044d8dcfb6ab1/medium/pete-maggie-rose.jpg?1496356518" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/47055412017-05-11T18:05:16-05:002017-05-11T18:05:16-05:00Goodbye Barn Yard Radio<p>Well what a journey this has been. Where to start well 1st I have some people to thank. I want to thank everyone at the Illinois Media School Pete Ferreri, Imran Ali, Candi Gomez, George Norwood, and Emily Petty for all allowing me to bring the greatest music you have never heard on Barn Yard Radio. It has been one heck of a journey but this chapter is closing as of today Barn Yard Radio is closing its doors. I have become more and more busy to the point where I cannot continue to do the show. I want to thank you for allowing me to come on theedgeonair.com and bring you fun wacky topics along while rocking to some awesome country artists. Speaking of which I would like to thank all the artist who allowed me to interview them from The Tin Ma, Leah Turner, Rachele Lynae, Maggie Rose, Diamond Dixie, Diana Upton Hill, Charlie Farley, Adam Searan, Jericho Woods, Ty Bates, Lance Carpenter, The Darlins, Laura McCormick, Bailey James, Gunnar and the Grizzly Boys, the Morrison brothers Band, Lockwood Barr, Corey Jackson, Sam Brooker, Sylvia Hutton, Mickey Lamantia and Shooter Jennings. I have enjoyed every moment with you all continue to rock. As I move away from Barn Yard Radio I am excited for the next chapter. And last but certainly not least to the fans and everyone who ever listened to the show I have 2 words for you Thank You without you there would not have been a Barn Yard Radio so thank you. It’s not goodbye its see you later so until the time when the bard doors open again Goodbye </p>

While some may take Lebron’s side in this matter. What did Barkley say that was so wrong? Lebron is being a cry baby and whining. Lebron has been complaining about the teams lack of a “playmaking” Point Guard, and he may be right but you wouldn’t have this problem if you insist on having over paying role players. Tristian Thompson held out last training camp seeking a 5 year 80 Million dollar deal which was pushed heavily by Lebron himself. You could easily gave him less.

I always hear everyone talking about getting that summer body. So here are 3 simple steps to help you get that summer body. </p>
<p>1) Drink water</p>
<p>If you cut out soda and alcohol and drink water I can guarantee you will see a huge difference. Water is such a good source for us I mean our body is made up of mostly water. They say you should drink about a gallon a day. Which is like 8 bottles of water. </p>
<p>2) Portions<br><br>Cut your portions in half. In the US especially our portion sizes are way too large. So say for lunch or dinner you eat 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut that in half only have one. It seems like something small. This is such a huge part ask anyone who works out. They will tell you your diet and what you eat is far more important than any exercise.<br><br>3) Exercise<br><br> </p>
<p>Exercise is a big part. It depends what you want your summer body to look like if you are looking for that tone look lift lighter weights with more sets example curls do 3 sets of like 20 times with a set of 20 lbs dumbbells. If you are looking to lose weight cardio, cardio, cardio. Try doing some cardio if you can do about 30 minutes of cardio a day it will help. Also look up some abb routines on YouTube or Instagram. I do this all the time it is such a big help. </p>
<p>So in closing if you drink water and cut out soda and alcohol, cut your portions in half and exercise. You should be well on your way to getting that summer body. It does take time it can be hard but if you want it but in the work. Come summer you will be looking mighty fine.

When news first broke of Khabib’s hospitalization it quickly went viral and set the internet on fire. MMA fans could not believe that this was really happening. We were all so close to witnessing one of the best lightweight fights of all time. Everyone was not surprised though, believe it or not, a few months ago, when this fight was first being put together I said it would never happen. I was making an appearance as the MMA analyst on ‘The Final Third’ podcast when I was asked what I thought of this fight; I very clearly stated that I had a feeling this fight would never actually come to fruition. This is one of those times I wish I was wrong. I would be lying if I told you I had any factual reason for thinking that, it was just a gut feeling. Now I have a different feeling in my gut, only this time I’m sick to my stomach. When will the unifying body of MMA realize that more weight classes are desperately needed? In some instances, these athletes are causing irreparable damage to their bodies just so they can compete at a more ideal weight. But is nearly killing yourself more ideal? This will not be the last fight cancelled due to a weight cutting issue, and the UFC has implemented some changes to address this, most notably, banning IV rehydration and the early weigh ins. But that is just a start, the UFC needs to add more weight classes, possibly one every 10lbs, i.e. 155lb, 165lb, 175lb, etc. You can bet your bottom dollar if the UFC went in this direction, every other MMA promotion would follow suit. Not only would fewer fights get scrapped due to weight cutting issues if this was the case, it would be much safer, and I wholeheartedly believe we would see these athletes competing at an even higher and more efficient level due to better conditioning.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/46127592017-03-01T19:47:33-06:002017-03-01T19:47:33-06:00Incubus! <p><a contents="Incubus" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9foq4RPR_70" target="_blank">Incubus</a> is easily one of, if not my favorite band.

Mike Einziger and Brandon Boyd have both come out and stated that their new album "8" will have Incubus returning back to their roots. If their new single "Nimble Bastard" is any indication of what is to come April can not come soon enough. Have a listen hope you enjoy it!<br> </p>

<p> </p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/46006922017-02-25T16:15:00-06:002017-02-25T16:16:45-06:00Bellator 172<p>Saturday February 18 San Jose California, all eyes will be on “The Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko as he makes his return to state side MMA competition. Fedor has not competed in the United States since he suffered his third straight loss at the hands of Dan Henderson in 2011 at a Strikeforce event. Once the unquestioned king of MMA, many have wondered, are Fedor’s dominate days behind him? His opponent Matt Mitrione is a bit of a wild card. Mitrione is a former NFL player and UFC journeymen that never quite lived up to his expectations. Meathead was a featured fighter on “The Ultimate Fighter:” Heavyweights, the same season that the late Kimbo Slice appeared on. </p>
<p>The co-main event of the evening has tremendous lightweight title implications. Patricky Pitbull squares off against home town favorite Josh Thompson. Pitbull is looking to rebound from a devastating knock out loss at the hands of current lightweight champ “Iron” Michael Chandler. Thompson is looking to win his third straight contest inside the Bellator cage and set himself up with a title shot later in the year. </p>
<p>Don’t forget the heavyweights. Oli Thompson and Cheick Kongo go head to head in what is sure to be a slugfest. Oli is a middle tier UK fighter that has by far his biggest test in Kongo on Saturday night. Kongo at times looks fantastic and other times your left scratching your head. All indications are that Kongo has had a good camp so this fight should be entertaining. Bellator 172 has something for everyone. A very intriguing women’s flyweight fight between newcomer Brooke Mayo and Veta Arteaga is slated to be the second fight on the main card. The women bring it, every time they step into the Bellator cage there are fireworks. </p>
<p>Kicking off the main card is Josh Koscheck making his long awaited Bellator debut against Mauricio Alonso. It’s been almost two years since Koscheck signed a multi-year deal with the Viacom owned company, and finally after some setbacks we get to see if Koscheck is still relevant in the welterweight division. That being said, Alonso is a much bigger fighter than Kos. At 6’2 Alonso is one of the largest fighters in the welterweight division, and his size could pose a big problem for Kos who relies heavily on his wrestling. There is a total of twelve fights on the prelims before the main card on Spike gets going. I’m very excited to see Anatoly Tokov vs Francisco France, I must say I am a bit surprised this fight did not make the main card. The main card begins at 8pm (cst) live and free on Spike TV, and of course the prelims start the evening of fights off at 5pm (cst).-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/46057372017-02-24T17:25:18-06:002017-02-24T17:25:18-06:00Clash Of Styles<p>Soccer is a sport that has many styles of play. Some coaches like to play it safe and prioritize defending. </p>
<p>The first example of ultimate defending is the “Catenaccio” system implemented by the Argentine coach Helenio Herrera in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. His 5-3-2 system was revolutionary at the time winning the European Cup (now Champions League) in 1964 and 1965. His style was often criticized because it was all possession and not many goals. People called it “boring” and “dull”. But that incredibly organized defensive style influenced (even to this date) the Italian national team. The Italians are notorious for defending with all 11 men behind the ball. They have stayed loyal to the “Catenaccio” and have went on to win the 2006 World Cup in Germany.On the other side of the spectrum, there are coaches who are more focused on the spectacle of their attack. “Total Football” is the best example of the wonderful show attacking football was. It gained strength in the early 1970’s with Ajax from Amsterdam. The idea of “Total Football” was all out attack and constant rotation on the 10 outfield players. For example, the full-backs had the freedom to attack or even shift to the middle of the pitch if they had to. Ajax celebrated four titles and 46 consecutive wins at home in two years. The Dutch national team followed up by playing the same style in the 1974 and 1978 World Cups. The world was in awe. They’ve never seen such things. Although they lost the final in both of those tournaments, they left a legacy that will never be forgotten by any soccer lover.<br><br> </p>
<p>In modern football, coaches are constantly judges for the number of titles they win per season and not the style the use to play. Marcelo Bielsa has always been criticized for “playing nice but not winning titles”. Fans often label him as “mediocre”, but is he really? Bielsa has built a school of football, how many coaches in history can brag about that? Bielsa’s list of students consist of Jorge Sampaoli, Javier Torrente, Eduardo Berizzo, Gerardo Martino and some even say that Pep Guardiola is of that school. “Marcelo Bielsa is the best in the world. He makes his players better.” </p>
<p>What style of play do you enjoy watching? Let me know what you think.

This marks the 4th consecutive edition that the Germans and the English face off. Bayern has absolutely dominated Arsenal by eliminating them twice in the knockout rounds and defeating them 5-1 in the group stage of the 2015-2016 tournament. It seems as if these two teams are destined to see each other at some point of the season, and Arsenal wanted to prove to the world that this time things would play out differently.<br><br>Although Arsenal was very intense in the first few minutes, Bayern only needed one opportunity to get on the board with a signature Arjen Robben left-footed strike in the 11th minute making the game 1-0. Arsenal would get a penalty in the 37th minute after the captain Laurent Koscielny was fouled in the box by Robert Lewandowski. Alexis Sanchez missed but later converted his mistake in to a goal after Manuel Neuer's save. The half would end 1-1 in what looked like a fairly even game. </p>
<p>Things went completely down hill for Arsenal in the second half. In the 49th minute, Laurent Koscielny was subbed out with a hamstring injury which left the Gunners' defense for dead. Robert Lewandowski scored the second for Bayern in the 53rd minute after Phillip Lahm put a spectacular cross in the box. Thiago Alcantara would extend the Bavarains' lead with two more goals and the freshly-subbed in Thomas Muller put the finishing touch in the 88th minute making it 5-1. </p>
<p>Arsenal had no response to Bayern's non-stop attack. Alexis Sanchez looked exhausted and not only physically, but mentally as well. He was the only one that was pressuring Bayern's defense, getting back possession, and creating chances. Mesut Ozil was cold and lackluster, the wingers (Alex Iwobi and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) never joined the attack, and when Olivier Giroud came in 77th minute, the score was already 4-1 so he couldn't do much to help. The game plan wasn't very clear, and Arsene Wenger is to blame. It seems to be a constant in big games for Arsene Wenger, bad and vague game plans. Wenger has been managing Arsenal since 1996 and they are yet to win a Champions League and are on the verge of being eliminated in the round of 16 once again this year. </p>
<p>Is this the end of the Arsene Wegner era at Arsenal? </p>

I am not one of these bandwagon fans that decided the sport of MMA was cool because Conor McGregor or Ronda Rousey. I have been a diehard fan since the very first UFC event in 1993, I have also practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu reaching the level of blue belt. This is all fine and dandy, but the point I want to make here is that the new owners of the UFC are destroying something I love. No different than watching someone slowly ruin your favorite band or television show. The new owners of the UFC are WME-IMG, that stands for William Morris Endeavor. They are a massive media conglomerate that paid 4 billion dollars for the premier MMA organization. They obviously know how to run an entertainment and media corporation, but they are quickly showing they know absolutely nothing about running a MMA company. From the moment WME-IMG purchased the UFC they began making suspect moves, they fired long time employees Matt Hughes and Chuck Liddell, they starting creating these “fake” interim titles, and they have been releasing fighters on their rosters to reduce their overhead. That’s fine, but when you start releasing fighters that are relevant and are top fighters in their respected weight classes so you can keep other fighters around that are not as talented but draw more PPV buys; then there is a credibility issue that needs to be addressed. Look, I’m not trying to tell anyone how to run their organization, but when your interest is no longer putting on the best fights and the fights that fans want to see, but instead is solely to make money, then yes there is a problem. The days of Zuffa llc are gone and I know I’m not the only one who wishes the Fertitta brothers to get back in the MMA game. The bright side of this WME debacle is that this opens the door even further for other MMA promotions like Bellator to jump in and capitalize on their mistakes.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/46006382017-02-21T16:06:18-06:002017-02-21T16:06:18-06:00El Clasico: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly<p>Saturday night's game between Chivas and America was a fairly close one, despite the majority of fans predicting that it would be one-sided in favor of Chivas. The game started at a rapid pace and America almost took the lead with two clear opportunities before the 20-minute mark. But 10 minutes later, referee Luis Enrique Santander called a penalty in favor of Chivas that Angel Zaldivar would convert in to a goal making the final result 1-0 for Chivas.</p>
<p>The Good: As of late, Chivas has been a team to possess the ball incredibly well and create a lot of chances. Chivas ended the game with 63% possession and 13 total shots. Rodolfo Pizarro was playing freely in the midfield and shifting wide left when the team would attack. Although their strikers are still struggling to finish the opportunities created, Matias Almeyda isn't worried because he knows the goals will come sooner rather than later. </p>
<p>The Bad: America. Sure, they were missing key players like Edson Alvarez (currently playing with Mexico's U-20 squad) and newly acquired Cecilio Dominguez (shoulder injury), but they still looked lost. The long ball wasn't working and they couldn't connect two consecutive passes to save their lives. Ricardo La Volpe is in serious turmoil heading in to next weekend's crucial match-up against Cruz Azul. </p>
<p>The Ugly: Speaking of Ricardo La Volpe, he stirred controversy once again. His frustration showed when he stepped on to the pitch and tackled Chivas' right-back, Jesus Sanchez. Arguably one of the most bizarre events to ever happen in a Clasico Nacional ended in a sending-off for La Volpe. </p>
<p>The Ugly; Part-Two: Chivas TV. Chivas fans living in Mexico weren't very pleased to hear that their team's games wouldn't air on Televisa anymore and they would have to pay for an online streaming service to watch them play. Connection problems were immediate and until this day, they haven't been fixed. Last night's stream was a complete disaster and it wasn't a surprise. The concept and the idea isn't bad, but Chivas took a dive head first in to deep waters and it was obvious that they weren't ready to stream such a huge game live on the internet. </p>
<p>It's no secret that the arch-rivals' current situations are polar opposite. Chivas sits pretty in second place with 14 points while America is sinking in the table with only seven points in 14th place. America is facing tough times and to make matters worse, they face Cruz Azul next Saturday who are also in desperate need of a win. While America struggles, Chivas looks to have made a strong case in the title run. </p>
<p>Is Chivas a serious title contender? Can America reverse their current situation? </p>

The very first Super Mario Bros. game may in fact be the best video game ever made. Period. About a year ago Nintendo released something that every fan of the Super Mario Bros. franchise had been dreaming about for years. The ability to make their own Mario levels in a game called Super Mario Maker. Players can make their levels as hard or as easy as they want and share their creations with the world. One gamer on YouTube has been challenging himself with some of the most difficult levels the internet has to offer, and let me tell you these levels will test even the most seasoned gamer.

Being down 25 points halfway through the 3rd quarter, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots had to look adversity in the eye one more time. The high-scoring offense of the Atlanta Falcons had made the game 28-3, making this comeback seem like something that can only happen in a Hollywood film, but with Brady having the ball in his hands, anything is possible. </p>
<p>The Patriots cut in to the lead by scoring a touchdown but then missing the extra point making the game 28-9 going in to the 4th quarter. But in a 3rd-and-1 situation with 8:24 to play, Matt Ryan stepped back, looked to his left only to realize that the pressure from Dont’a Hightower was coming from his right side. Clean hit, Ryan fumbles and the Patriots take over at the Falcons’ 25-yard line. The Patriots converted that fumble in to 8 points making the game 28-20. All of a sudden, the “impossible” comeback seemed indeed, very possible. </p>
<p>On the Falcons’ next possession, Julio Jones made a spectacular catch down the sidelines which looked to seal the game and win it all for Atlanta. But a few plays later, “Matty Ice” and the Falcons were pushed out of field goal range after getting sacked multiple times and overthrowing easy completions. The ball was in New England’s possession once more. </p>
<p>It was now 1st-and-10 with 2:27 to play in regulation. Brady looked down the middle and found Julian Edelman, threw a laser, pass was broken up by Robert Alford but the ball landed on his foot, Edelman was the fastest to react to the still catchable ball and snatched it up before it hit the ground. It was officially ruled a catch but unofficially ruled the greatest catch in Super Bowl history (Giants and Steelers fans would disagree). The Patriots marched down the field and tied up the game 28-28 after being down 25 points a quarter and a half ago. </p>
<p>The first overtime ever in a Super Bowl was upon us and of course Tom Brady had to be featured. The Patriots won the toss and elected to receive.. at that point, everyone knew what was going to happen. Tom Brady orchestrated a trademark game-winning drive in overtime. James White topped it off with a 2-yard rush to the goal line. Game over. New England did it again. They didn’t give the best offense in football a chance to get the ball. </p>

He’s broken most records at Real Madrid: Most hat-tricks in team history, Champions League record goal scorer for the club, Real Madrid’s all time top scorer to name a few records. But as of late, Ronaldo has had a bit of a downfall. Frustration shows in his face whenever he’s having trouble scoring. The frustration reflects in his teammates as well. </p>
<p>Cristiano Ronaldo unleashed his fury on Sunday against Real Sociedad netting a goal and assisting on the first of the three goals. But Cristiano did it with a chip on his shoulder. Ever since he started performing at a lower level, the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu have booed and whistled him constantly. They claim that the Portuguese star looks “lazy” and he “walks the pitch”. It’s clear that Ronaldo hasn’t been at his best for the last few months and you can attribute that to injuries and the fact that he is 32-years-old so age is catching up to him. But Ronaldo had a very unique way to respond to the crowd. After his goal he went over to the section that was causing all the ruckus and called them “Motherf*****s” while celebrating. </p>
<p>It seems as if part of the Real Madrid fan base has forgotten that Cristiano Ronaldo is a huge reason as to why they’ve won two Champions Leagues in the last three seasons. Sure, he’s not as good as he was two years ago, but he still scores.. a lot. The fans look like they’re biting the hand that once fed them.-Alex Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45801272017-02-07T11:51:59-06:002017-02-07T11:51:59-06:00Beyon-say whaaat??<p>So, Beyonce announced she is pregnant again. Of course the internet, following protocol, went nuts. While this is her second pregnancy, Bey and Jay ( Bay? Jey? lol) will welcome their second AND third child to the world. That’s right, twins. Queen Bey announced the news with a picture on social media. Three things stuck out from that, not including her belly. First off I took it as a way of avoiding the controversy of the last pregnancy, when people questioned whether or not she was actually preggo. Second, the picture had me imagining all the memes would come from this. The internet is, after all, is undefeated. Lastly, I noticed that with all the drama going on in the world, people will grasp at anything to forget their problems. To that I say, “Let them eat cake!” -Josh Buckhalter</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45789662017-02-06T16:32:16-06:002017-02-06T16:32:16-06:00UFC Houston Fight Night 104 Re Cap<p>Fight Pass Prelims </p>
<p>Daniel Jolly VS Khalil Roundtree Jr. – It only took Roundtree 52 seconds to end the night of the home town favorite Jolly. Two perfectly placed knee strikes, one to Jolly’s head, the other to his upper chest. </p>
<p>Alex Morono VS Niko Price – Morono had a lot of hype coming in, he won his first two fights in the UFC and this fight would be in his own backyard of Houston. Price made his debut in Dec against Brandon Thatch and arm triangle choked him out. The 1st round Morono got his striking off before Price and won the round easily. The 2nd round more of the same but about half way through the round Price picked it up and just as the bell sounded Price put Morono to sleep. Scary KO. </p>
<p>FS1 Prelims </p>
<p>Tecia Torres VS Bec Rawlings – This was a rematch from their time on The Ultimate Fighter were Torres got the decision on that night. More of the same on this night in Houston where she scored a unanimous decision win against Rawlings. The most exciting part of this fight was in round 3, were Rawlings threw the bird to the fans in attendance. </p>
<p>Ricardo Ramos VS Michinori Tanaka – Ramos is a Brazilian fighter making his UFC debut, and Tanaka is a veteran of 4 UFC fights. Ramos comes out striking effective in round 1 almost gets the finish. Round 2 Ramos showing his BJJ off, switching positions and chaining submissions up with ease. As round 3 starts Tanaka looks like the fresher fighter. Tanaka starts to land some good strikes, in this, the last round of the fight. The fight ends with Tanaka on top of Ramos dropping big punches. Unanimous decision win for Ramos. </p>
<p>Chas Skelly VS Chris Gruetzemacher – The first round was a boring wrestling match with Skelly on top most the round. This was the fight to take a bathroom break during. Skelly landed some nice punches before taking the back of Gritz and choking him out in round 2. </p>
<p>Adam Milstead VS Curtis Blaydes – Who doesn’t love the heavyweights? Blaydes suplexed Milstead multiple times and rode his back in the early part of round 1. Blaydes stayed heavy on Milstead the entire round all the time peppering Milstead with punches and knees. Milstead completely blows his knee out in round 2 the fight is stopped via a verbal submission. Milstead tweaked his knee in round 1, but his corner let him go out and compete in round 2. Not a good decision, it’s an unfortunate part of the sport. </p>
<p>FS1 Main Card </p>
<p>Jessica Andrade VS Angela Hill – Andrade is the biggest betting favorite on the card tonight, I picked Hill to win the fight though. Andrade has some heavy hands, catching Hill against the cage several times in round 1. It looks like Hill has nothing in her arsenal that can hurt Andrade. Round 2 Hill changing things up, going low with kicks, working in some clinch work and footwork. Hill has a hell of a chin. Some good elbows by Hill at the end of round 2. The first minute of round 3 both fighters open with crazy wild striking. Great fight, could be fight of the night. Round 3 was back and forth, Andrade doing more damage but Hill was game and fought back till the end of round 3. Andrade takes a unanimous decision victory. </p>
<p>Anthony Hamilton VS Marcel Fortuna – Big gash opens over the right eye of Fortuna in the first minute of round 1. (Gash caused by accidental head clash) Fortuna looks comfortable in his UFC debut and lands a huge overhand right on the button of Hamilton. That’s all she wrote, walk off KO by Fortuna. </p>
<p>Ovince Saint Preux VS Volkan Oezdemir – Oezdemir comes out firing away with punches and kicks to the head of OSP. These guys are trading shots. Oezdemir is finding a home for his overhand right. Oezdemir showing no signs of UFC jitters, clinching OSP against the cage for a large part of the opening round. OSP landing some shots at the start of round 2, neither guy can take the other down. Output slows from both fighters and the crowd lets them hear it with a chorus of boos. The fighters trade body kicks at the 2:00 mark of round 2. Again, both fighters appear to be gassing out and still a round to go. Half way through round 3 and neither fighter throwing any significant combinations, more of single punches and kicks. The crowd letting them have it again. Both guys throwing till the end. I picked Oezdemir to win this fight, let’s see what the judges think. Oezdemir by split decision, I agree. </p>
<p>James Vick VS Abel Trujillo – The first two minutes of round 1 was a case of too much respect, both fighters not throwing any real punches. Trujillo with a takedown and right away Vick grabs Trujillo’s neck for a guillotine. Both fighters back on their feet, Vick throwing very nice combinations. Round 2 Trujillo having to deal with the reach advantage of Vick, he is doing so by rushing Vick and clipping him a few times. There is such a height advantage that it looks like there in different weight classes. Round 3 starts and Vick blasts Trujillo with a flying knee, Trujillo hurt bad, fights off Vick for a few moments but Vick locks in another darce choke. Trujillo taps out fight over. </p>
<p>Alexa Grasso VS Felice Herrig – Both women starting a bit slow, trying to find their rhythm and range. Herrig landing a huge punch that drops Grasso, a quick scramble on the ground and Grasso almost locked in a heel hook. Herrig getting the better of Grasso throughout round 1 on the feet. Herrig’s standup looks much improved, she has always had decent hands, but she has taken it to the next level here. Round 2 more of the same. Both women exchanging on their feet. Neither women really landing any significant damage, Herrig is repeatedly landing her overhand right however. Through two rounds Grasso’s best weapon has been her outside leg kicks, welts now visible all over Herrig’s thighs. Round 3 Perhaps feeling that she is down on the score cards, Grasso comes out with an assortment of switch kicks, spinning kicks, and high kicks. Herrig continues to be the cleaner striker on the feet. Grasso feeling the urgency now with 2:00 minutes left in the fight. Herrig fighting smart at the end of this fight. Perhaps the best fight of Herrig’s career. Hopefully the judges get this right. I scored this fight 30/27 for Herrig. I can see someone scoring it 29/28 for Herrig, but no more than that. The judges got it right unanimous decision win for Herrig. Not a lot of people saw this happening, she was a huge underdog. Good for her. </p>
<p>[MAIN EVENT] </p>
<p>Dennis Bermudez VS Chan Sung Jung – Both fighters landing their jab early in round 1. Neither fighter able to take the other down. From out of nowhere Jung (Zombie) slips Bermudez’s jab and delivers a fight ending uppercut that sends the referee in immediately to stop the fight. Wow, that’s was quick, after a three and a half year layoff, the Korean Zombie KO’s the number 9 ranked featherweight in the UFC. -Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45711852017-01-31T17:53:15-06:002017-01-31T17:53:15-06:00Eduardo Vargas to Tigres<p>Chilean striker Eduardo Vargas made a name for himself in the Copa America Centenario this past summer after netting four goals against Mexico in their catastrophic loss 7-0 to Chile in the Quarter-Finals of the tournament. Overall, Vargas had a great performance throughout the entire tournament which lead many people to believe that he would play in a European or South American powerhouse the following season. After many speculations, Vargas decided to stay at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim until at least the January transfer window of 2017. </p>
<p>The reigning and defending champions of Mexico, Tigres, have been known recently to splash big cash on star players. One big example is the French sensation Andre-Pierre Gignac’s move to Tigres in June of 2015 for $18 Million followed by Jurgen Damm, Javier Aquino, Lucas Zelarayan, Ismael Sosa, Andy Delort and recently Peruvian right-back Luis Advincula was added to the already stacked roster. But Tigres isn’t satisfied yet. Eduardo Vargas looks to be Tigres’ newest addition. The Chilean is to report to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon on Thursday morning to complete his medical exams. </p>
<p>Eduardo Vargas has won two Copa America tournaments with Chile (2015, 2016 Centenario). Vargas’ last goal in an offical club competition was on the 13th of September 2016 in Hoffenheim’s 3-1 loss to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.-Alex Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45618242017-01-24T10:14:22-06:002017-01-24T10:14:22-06:00The Fix Is In<p>Saturday, January 21 2017 will go down in history as the last time MMA legend Tito Ortiz competed in a mixed martial arts contest. Was it a true athletic competition or was it more like Pro Wrestling with a pre-determined outcome? I, like millions of people around the world tuned in to Spike tv to watch Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen engage in pugilistic combat, or at least I thought I did. Early in the fight Sonnen had Ortiz in a front choke and later changed his grip to what is called a darce choke. Everything seemed fine and on the up and up as I watched Ortiz reverse the choke and mount Sonnen. Ortiz had just started delivering his signature “punishment” ground & pound when Sonnen gave up his back to Ortiz. Quickly and effortlessly Ortiz took Sonnen’s back and applied a rear naked choke or “RNC”. Normally you need to have your arm under your opponent’s neck to successfully finish a fight with this choke technique. However, since Ortiz is so strong it was believable that he could finish off Sonnen by squeezing his chin tight enough to stop the blood flowing to Sonnen’s head. As Sonnen’s head turned purple he began to fade and just before he lost consciousness he tapped out and conceded defeat. Everything seemed storybook, this MMA pioneer and legend just won his last fight in front of his hometown fans. False, nothing could be further from the truth. After re-watching the moment when Ortiz reversed Sonnen’s darce choke you can clearly see where Ortiz taps Sonnen’s hand and at that exact second Sonnen inexplicably let’s go of the darce choke and Ortiz mounts him. This is called Pro Wrestling not MMA, and if I want to watch wrestling I will tune in Monday night to watch WWE Raw. Needless to say, this is devastating for the sport that I love MMA.

No, it was because all the great country music acts and catching up I did with old friends. While I gotta thank Heather Croze and the entire PBR Staff for making it a enjoying weekend of shooting, I had a lot of fun at the after party. Watching guys like Zane Williams, Aaron Watson, Mike Ryan, Stoney LaRue, and Casey Donahew perform were definitely the highlights for me no matter how many times I see them and being able to connect with them on a more personal level are the things I enjoy. Also got to give a shout out to PBR Announcer and I can honestly say dear friend, Matt West, for letting me and my wife hang out in their after party suite at Joe's LIVE on Saturday. So until my next blog post, I encourage each and every one of you to give those guys a listen and be on the look out for them to come visit your town! </span><br><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'>Make sure you tune in to <a href="http://theedgeonair.com/" target="_blank">theedgeonair.com</a> every Thursday from 2 - 4PM CST to hear the best music from the Red Dirt Country Music Scene. </span><br><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'>Follow me on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/JasonCarter03" target="_blank">@JasonCarter03</a></span><br><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45578432017-01-20T13:44:44-06:002020-10-15T23:52:55-05:00Caught Offside<p>First the Video Assistant Referee at the Club World Cup, then a 48-team World Cup, and now FIFA is considering getting rid of the offside rule?! On Tuesday, former striker and Dutch legend, Marco Van Basten, proposed to abolish the offside rule once and for all. The rule that they teach you right after learning how to kick a ball and learning to not touch the ball with your hands. In other words, they want to get rid of the essence of the game. Getting rid of the offside rule is like getting rid of outs in Baseball or penalized low-blows in Boxing. Sounds absurd, doesn't it?

Every 4 years, 32 teams fight for the most prestigious trophy on the planet. On Tuesday morning, the president of FIFA Gianni Infantino called for a meeting with the top executives of the organization to vote on whether to expand the World Cup to 48 teams or to leave it be at 32. The decision was unanimous. Starting in 2026, the World Cup will have 48 teams (16 groups, 3 teams each according to the latest report). Finally, teams like Guatemala, Bolivia, Venezuela have an opportunity to qualify to their first ever World Cup! But how much competition can they really provide? Not much, but there is one thing that 16 extra teams can provide a lot of, money, and ultimately, that's the main reason for the 48-team expansion.-Alex Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45521542017-01-16T15:27:57-06:002017-01-16T15:27:57-06:00Streep Your Opinion To Yourself<p>Art: The skill in conducting any human activity, or aesthetic principles containing beauty and appeal. The definition of art seems a bit vague, however I’m confident that each and every person reading this has their own idea of what art is. That being said, who is anyone to tell you what art is or isn’t. Furthermore is Meryl Streep qualified to get on stage in front of millions of people around the world and say that football and mixed martial arts are indeed not arts. Streep should stick to what she knows and clearly she doesn’t know anything about sports. As a mater of fact if you’ve seen any of her movies lately it would be difficult to classify her acting as art. I cannot stand when celebrities use their platform to express their personal vendettas. I could see if Meryl was being interviewed and she was asked a direct question about Football or MMA, and she replied “they are not arts”. Fine, I could live with that; and I think this is a non-issue then. However, she walked on stage to receive a lifetime achievement award and instead of doing what every other award recipient does (which is thank their family, friends, and anyone who helped them get there) she thought it would be a good idea to bash the president elect and discredit football and MMA as a valid art form. First off like him or not, Donald Trump is the next president of the United States of America so get over it. Secondly, her exact words were and I quote “If we kick outsiders and foreigners out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts- which are not the arts”. This statement is full of non- truths. To somehow suggest that Americans are incapable of creating art without outsiders or foreigners is beyond me. Are Americans really that talentless? football and MMA are not for everyone, and that’s fine you don’t need to be a fan of something to respect the beauty and art in it. I personally think “Momma Mia” was a complete waste of money and needless to say far from art but that’s just me Straus21.</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45481102017-01-12T17:40:22-06:002017-01-12T17:40:22-06:00Chris Brown v. Soulja Boy is good for Hip-Hop…no seriously!<p>It would appear that we are on the verge of something “major” in the hip-hop world. After a series of social media attacks from both sides, Chris Brown and Soulja Boy seem primed to square up in the ring. The two have gone back and forth recently on Instagram starting over Brown’s ex Karreuche Tran, who is the mother of Brown’s child and the object of Soulja’s affection. It moved to Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Way dissing Brown over his incident of domestic violence involving Rihanna. This led to Soulja challenging Brown to fisticuffs and Brown agreeing after Soulja bought Tran and Brown’s daughter into the matter. The whole ordeal has gotten the attention of several big figures in the entertainment industry, namely 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather is even said to be training Mr. Tell ‘Em, a claim that has been disputed by Way’s manager, Wack 100. Oh yea, he just happens to also be former 50 cohort, The Game’s manager. Even Iron Mike Tyson has weighed in, giving his vote for Brown. Tyson went so far as to record a song dissing Soulja Boy…for some reason. <br>The fact that there is so much involvement from outsiders is what leads me to my assertion, this is good for hip-hop. One of the main objectives rap and hip-hop naysayers have is that the music and culture promote violence. It has been blamed for the seemingly ever increasing homicide rate in most urban communities. The prolific weapon and drug use referred to by artist has, along with its often objectification of women has lead to it being condemned by many. The latter is a different post, but the violence, this is where there is room for impact. While ‘Breezy v. Big Soula’ might not be the “Thrilla in Manilla” 2017, it has a chance to change the narrative. Can you imagine, if one gets knocked out, the hooks and punchlines (see what I did there?) that would be thrown around by rappers in their verses? How about the fact that more artists and personalities are trying to get in on it? Internet personality Riff Raff has challenged to a bout for $2 million and Florida rapper Kodak Black called out Weezy for the title “Greatest Rapper”. <br>These may seem like petty insignificant squabbles, but I assure you they are important. They have the potential to change the way that hip hop is viewed. Those on the outside get to see the separation of fantasy and reality as gang members have spoken out against rappers falsely claiming membership. I think it is important the youth know the difference. This is making no mention of the revenue it could generate for the urban community. I think it should happen.-Josh Buckhalter</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45433202017-01-12T17:05:00-06:002017-01-12T17:05:32-06:00PBR Week is Here!<p> </p>

<p><br>Howdy ladies and gentleman, I hope y'all had a great weekend. If you live in Chicago like me, you had a cold weekend and you are preparing for snow this weekend but have no fear, the PBR is here. </p>
<p>And no, I'm not talking about that terrible beer that every "wannabe country boy" drinks for some god awful reason. Im talking about the Professional Bull Riders of the Built Ford Tough Series who will be taking over the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL for three full events this weekend. </p>
<p>The Top 35 Cowboys converge here in Chi-Town for three full events. Action starts at 745 PM on Friday, 645 PM on Saturday, and concludes at 145 PM on Sunday. So head on out there for a family fun evening or afternoon. </p>
<p>Also, FIVE amazing and extremely talented country singers will be in town this weekend turning Rosemont, IL into a true "Cowboy Town" this weekend. </p>
<p>So where are these badass country singers at this weekend? The will all be playing on the stage at Joe's LIVE in Rosemont, IL at the official after-party of the PBR Chicago Invitational. Friday will be headlined by Aaron Watson with the extremely talented, Zane Williams opening for him. </p>
<p>Then on Saturday, it will be Casey Donahew closing out the night but the opening acts are two you don't want to miss. Not only does Mike Ryan start the night off but you also get Stoney LaRue sandwiched in between! What more could a cowboy ask for? </p>
<p>So please come out, hit me up on twitter if your going to be out and about this weekend cause I would love to meet up with some of you. So make sure you tune in this Thursday to Roadhouse on theedgeonair.com from 2 - 4 PM, cause you don't know what kind of surprises I may have in store for you this week. -Jason Carter</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45433162017-01-10T17:05:00-06:002017-01-10T17:05:31-06:00Eli Runs The Table<p>It's no secret that when Eli Manning rides the hot hand in to the Playoffs good things usually happen to the New York Football Giants. In 2007 with a record of 10-6, the Giants led by the youngest Manning sibling, Eli, traveled to Lambeu Field to defeat Brett Favre's Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game. They weren't done there. They also ruined the New England Patriots' perfect season at Super Bowl 42. This season is looking very similar for the Giants. Eli again has to go to Lambeu in single-digit weather to face another hot QB and potential league MVP in Aaron Rodgers. You can start adding this to the Wild Card Weekend classics because it's going to be a good one. We'll see how much longer the Aaron Rodgers can run the table at Green Bay. -Alex Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45432262017-01-09T16:12:48-06:002017-01-09T18:44:23-06:00Hidden Figures - A Radio Buffet 3-minute Critic Movie Review<strong>Hidden Figures: If Disney Made A Movie About The Space Race and Civil Rights (2 Stars)</strong><br><br>by Eric Willuweit <a contents="@eswillow72" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://twitter.com/eswillow72" target="_blank">@eswillow72</a><br><br>I had high expectations going into Hidden Figures. Or maybe to put it better, I had different expectations of what this movie was going to be like. Please keep that in mind as to my perspective heading into the movie and the review I am about to share. You may find this movie to be the uplifting, feel-good story you were looking for, and my opinion shouldn't change that. HOWEVER.............<br><br>Hidden Figures tells the story of three African-American women who played vital, behind the scenes roles during the era of the space race with Russia. Specifically, calculating the math for the mission to put astronaut John Glenn and the Mercury capsule Friendship 7 into Earth's orbit and back home. The backdrop of their stories is that it was taking place during the civil rights movement of the 60s, and dealing with many of the racial and segregation issues they had to endure while contributing to the cause at NASA.<br><br>The problem is not with the acting of the main characters. Taraji P Henson(Katherine Johnson), Octavia Spencer(Dorothy Vaughan) and Janelle Monae(Mary Jackson) all deliver great performances in their roles, especially Henson as the lead heroine role of mathematician Johnson.<br><br>That said, most of the characters are given very 1-dimensional roles, and/or their characters aren't very richly developed. In this movie, you will find there are good people and bad people, and the movie goes out of its way to tell you who is who. They don't leave any room for in between. So when you're trying to tell a story about the space race from the perspective of 3 black women in NASA, I guess the director(Theodore Melfi) felt he had it dumb it down for the audience. I was annoyed at this aspect of the film. You will notice the drawn-out, incredulous looks on every white man and white woman as these three ladies enter ANY room in NASA. I didn't know in 1961 that white people in Virginia had never seen a black person before.<br><br>I also felt the casting of Jim Parsons as lead researcher Paul Stafford(aforementioned bad person) was horrible. I would have felt better if he broke out into his Sheldon Cooper character from the Big Bang Theory and yelled "BAZINGA!" Instead, we get Parsons giving exasperated looks on his face when he disapproves of anything Johnson tries to do in her role. As for others in the supporting cast, Kevin Costner was good, not great in the role of Al Harrison(mostly good person). Same can be said for Kirsten Dunst in her role as Vivian Michael(bad person).<br><br>As stated above, if your wish is to see a movie from a light-hearted, uplifting perspective, then you will probably enjoy this movie. It definitely has it's entertaining moments. However, if you are looking for a movie with a little more depth, given the subject matter and the era of our country at that time, then you might be disappointed, as I was.<strong> I give Hidden Figures 2 Stars.</strong><br><br>- <strong>Eric Willuweit</strong>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45430002017-01-09T13:08:00-06:002017-01-09T14:33:27-06:00PBR Week is Here!<div class="getty embed image" style='background-color: white; color: #a7a7a7; display: inline-block; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11px; max-width: 594px; width: 100%;'>

The Huntington Beach Bad Boy is scheduled to fight Chael Sonnen at Bellator 170 on January 21st. Tito always the opportunist, found some time in between training and promoting his upcoming fight to place a $50,000 bet on Amanda Nunes or really against Ronda Rousey. Either way Tito's gamble paid off in the form of a whopping $127,500 pay day. Considering Ortiz has gone on record many times as of late to state that his upcoming fight against Sonnen would be his last; perhaps Tito will squirrel away some of the winnings. It appears that Tito is already thinking about how he plans on making a living after MMA.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45398012017-01-06T10:14:16-06:002017-01-06T10:14:16-06:00Ego Its Not A Frozen Waffle<p>Every now and then you're reminded of lessons that you have already learned. More often than not these are unpleasant realities, nevertheless you need to remember how to deal with these situations. In my experience, one characteristic is usually the culprit of these life lessons learned and so forgotten. Ego, no it's not a frozen waffle, dictionary.com defines it as "self-esteem or self-image, feeling, i.e. your ego grows unbearable each day. This is tricky because on one hand of course you need to have some ego, a healthy self-esteem is necessary in life for success. On the other hand, having too much ego or thinking too highly of oneself is not only delusional but is often the cause of conflict between people. As a matter of fact can you think of any conflict that at its core is not related to ego? When a life lesson is learned subconsciously its filed away in our being as not to be repeated. However, it seems, where ego is concerned we are all a bit insane; meaning that we all seem to repeat this lesson time and time again. The funny thing about ego is that even when you think you are being selfless you're usually not. When you recognize this or someone points this out to you it can be a bit of a reality check. So I guess the key here is to at least be aware of your ego because can you ever really be free of it?-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45341922017-01-05T14:45:00-06:002017-01-05T14:47:00-06:00The New Way To Weigh In<p>As far as the new way that MMA and the UFC conduct their <br>weigh-ins.... I'm a huge fan. I love that fighters are now weighed in the morning before the fight right in their hotel lobbies. This is great for many reasons. 1= Fighters now have a full 36 hours to rehydrate instead of the old method which only allowed fighters around 20 hours to recover from the stress of cutting weight. 2= The UFC still televises the weigh-ins however instead of fighters walking up to the scale, disrobing, getting on the scale and often times having this process take upwards of 3 minutes per fighter now fighters simple walk right on stage, step on a mock scale, Joe Rogan says their earlier recorded weight and they step aside to face off with their opponent. This is a case of the UFC getting it right. -Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45384552017-01-05T12:43:10-06:002017-01-05T12:43:10-06:00New Year New Country Radio<p> </p>

<p><br>Happy New Year everybody and welcome to 2017. I was thinking of resolutions and lets see... I already go to the gym, I have a beautiful wife and a amazing son and I think Im a pretty awesome dad so starting a family wouldn't be one, I could probably stand to not order so much fast food, but that doesn't please anybody but myself and wallet. I have decided that in 2017, I will educate not just my loyal listeners but also the new ones. </p>
<p>I see all too often, a Facebook post about some "Top 40 Country Pop" guy coming to a town near you. There are two reactions from this and it depends on your sex. <br>Females: "OMG (Tag Friend) we are soooo going to have a BFF night!" <br>MALE: "Country music sucks because Waylon, Willie, and Merle aren't writing and singing songs anymore." <br>My reaction to both of these? UGH (FACE PALM) </p>
<p>Now guys, I have to agree with you that what you hear on your local "Top 40" station isn't the country music we grew up on but to say country music in general sucks is just plane wrong. It's not country music that has changed. Its country radio that has changed and the reason why you ladies think these guys are hot is because they pander to you and you only. </p>

When all was said and done I was left with five fighters, all of which you can make a compelling argument for fighter of the year. You have the two fighters that just competed and won at UFC 207, Cody Garbrant the new bantamweight champion, and the reining defending women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes. Then you have Michael Bisping, who most people myself included, thought was nothing more than a gatekeeper at this point in his hall of fame career win the middleweight title in stunning fashion back in June. Of course you have the one and only Conor McGregor who became the first ever UFC fighter to hold two different titles in two different weight classes simultaneously. Any one of those fighters would be an amazing choice for fighter of the year. However I decided to go with the biggest guy, well at least from a physical standpoint that is. Stipe Miocic who shocked the world and to be a bit more specific silenced 40,000 screaming Brazilian fans in Curitba Brazil. With one counter right punch that landed on the chin of Fabricio Werdum a new star and champion was born. Not only did Stipe catch Werdum with a picture perfect counter he did so while backpedaling away from Werdum, causing many people to wonder is Fabricio's chin not as solid as it used to be or is Stipe just that dam strong. Many so called MMA experts were still not sold on Miocic, so when September rolled around and Alistair Overeem came knocking, oh yee have little faith. Miocic disposed of Overeem, who many consider the best and most dangerous striker in the heavyweight division, in less than one round. So Stipe started 2016 as a relative unknown, beats the best heavyweight on the planet in three minutes in his home country, goes on to defend the heavyweight crown against a perennial top 5 fighter in less than one round; leaving everyone saying hey this guy Stipe is pretty good. Yes he is. -Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45341862017-01-03T14:40:00-06:002017-01-03T14:41:11-06:00Honor Thy Contract<p>I understand that professional athletes play by a different set of rules that most "normal everyday people" never experience. The preferential treatment they receive is evident in many instances. Whether its legal issues or the way millions of people around the globe idolize them one thing is for sure they most definitely have a grandiose self awareness. One thing that drives me crazy is when an athlete signs a contract for an absurd amount of money and then only 1 year into their new deal demands even more money. Its almost comical how athletes feel that they somehow are above the law. I mean a contract is a legal binding document right? Yet athletes feel that its their right to break their newly signed contract because 1 year into it they feel that they overplayed it. The logic here is fundamentally flawed. Nowhere else in the world is it ok to break a contract especially just 1 year after signing it. Imagine if your employer gave you a contract for 5 years making $100,000 per year. However just 1 year into your 5 year deal your employer decides to pay you $50,000 a year and oh yea by the way instead of 4 years left on your contract now you have 2 years remaining. How would you feel? It doesn't work like that. Most of us "normal everyday people" make far less money every year than these athletes making tens of millions of dollars and we all figure it out. Contracts are not rules they are not meant to be broken.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45341912017-01-02T14:41:07-06:002017-01-02T14:41:07-06:005,000 to 1<p>Whenever you look at the English Premier League you usually think of teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool etc... But a new team emerged to the scene this year, Leicester City. In the 2014-2015 season they were newly promoted and they finished 14th just narrowly escaping relegation. Their only hope for next season was to avoid relegation once again. The betting odds in Vegas in August 2015 were 5,000 to 1 for them to win the league but by December 24, 2015 they were in 1st place to the surprise of everyone. Surely they couldn't hold on to the league lead, right? Oh but they did. Leicester were crowned the kings of England on May 5th, 2016 after Tottenham drew 2-2 to Chelsea. They exceeded everyone's, including their own expectations. The unlikely champions, the Cinderella story, the 5,000 to 1 underdogs.-Alez Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45340462017-01-02T12:27:51-06:002021-11-14T23:38:47-06:00UFC 207 Recap<p>As the night came to an end at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas one thing was for sure, the aura of invincibility that once was Ronda Rousey was no more. It only took 48 seconds for Amanda Nunes to effectively retire the greatest women's MMA fighter of all time. As Ronda stood in the center of the octagon dazed and starring into the abyss with blood running from her nose; after the shock of Nunes blitzing her with a series of devastating punches you couldn't help but to feel bad for Ronda. Whether or not you like Rousey she has done so much for the sport of MMA and is a pioneer for women's MMA. Ronda released a statement a day after the devastating defeat stating that she needs to take some time and reflect and that's the best thing she has said in a long time. In the fight of the night Cody "No Love" Garbrandt dominated the dominator Dominick Cruz. Numbers do lie in the case of this fight because Cruz bested Garbrandt in nearly every relevant statistical category yet he lost the fight by unanimous decision. Never leave the outcome of a fight in the judges hands easier said than done. In either case Garbrandt got the better of Cruz in every exchange and dropped Cruz 3 times in one round alone prompting two judges to score that round a 10-8 for "No Love". A new bantamweight champion to start the new year. TJ Dillashaw was as close to flawless as you could be without actually being perfect. Dillashaw went out and took care of business by shutting down a surging John Lineker who many thought would end TJ's night violently. With this victory Dillashaw has positioned himself nicely as the number 1 contender in the bantamweight division. Neil Magny eked out a unanimous decision win over former welterweight king Johnny "Big Rig" Hendricks. Maybe I was watching a different fight than the judges were because I don't know how anyone who understands the sport of MMA could've awarded a decision for Magny. UFC newcomer Niko Price made short work of former welterweight top prospect Brandon Thatch by submitting him via arm triangle in round 1. These were my biggest takeaways.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45287222016-12-28T17:27:03-06:002016-12-28T17:27:03-06:00UFC Weight Issues<p>It makes absolutely no sense why the UFC has such a discrepancy when it comes to the amount of weight in between some of the classes. Now one thing I love about the UFC is that it doesn't have 100 different weight classes and titles like boxing. Be that as it may there are some gaps in weight that need to be addressed. To start with the heaviest you can weigh in at in the light heavyweight division is 205lbs. Ok, but the next option for a fighter to weigh in at is 265lbs which is heavyweight. That 60lb difference mine as well be 100lbs. What the UFC should do is add a 225lb class, they could call it heavyweight. Then they could rebrand the 265lb class super heavyweight and finally add a 300lb weight class and call it titan class. That would of course be just a start because the lighter weight classes all need some major overhauling and restructuring. One of the extra benefits in adding more classes or perhaps the UFC's new owners true motives would be additional revenue that more weight classes/titles would generate. Time will tell what the UFC decides to do with the weight classes but being that the new ownership group is eager to make some of the 4 billion dollars back that they spent on the purchase of the sports franchise this seems like a logical move.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45176122016-12-23T12:00:00-06:002016-12-23T12:05:46-06:00Why Try<p>Try, I hate that word to me that word is synonymous with failure. Remove that self-reproachful word from your vocabulary immediately. While you are trying to do something someone doing will pass you by and never look back. Trying implies a mediocre mindset and successful people have no room for mediocre. Even the most physical activity is 90% mental. The one thing that every successful person has in common is that they are all mentally strong and didn't waste their time trying. So stop trying and start doing because the days of being ordinary are over its time to demand more out of yourself and become extra ordinary.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45213542016-12-21T22:13:03-06:002016-12-21T22:13:03-06:00Turning Fútbol into Football<p>It's very obvious that the world we live in runs around technology. Heck, even the sports we watch use technology to help the referees make decisions and it looks like soccer is catching on. During the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan between the Copa Libertadores champion Atlético Nacional and Japanese league champs, Kashima Antlers, something incredibly bizarre happened. For the first time ever, the new Video Assistant Referee was in full effect and it went the wrong way. Kashima Antlers was given a non existent penalty 3 minutes after the play actually happened. The score at the time was 0-0 so the penalty changed the game. Kashima went on to win 3-0 and some people like me say that it was thanks to the new Video Assistant Referee. This new system takes time off the game clock and slow down the pace of the game that in it's essence, is very fast. The way this is going, the game that I grew up watching will become extinct. -Alex Perez</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45176112016-12-20T08:00:00-06:002016-12-20T08:04:47-06:00Bears misfortune<p>Bring the name Adam Gase up to a Bears fan and watch the disgust wash over their face. To think that the Bears had one of the most highly regarded and youngest up and coming head coaching prospects in house and they chose to let the Dolphins fish him away. Pun intended. Being a Bears fan its no surprise they let the right guy go yet again and decided to keep a head coach that seems increasingly disinterested and past his prime.

It took 23 years but the UFC has finally found the perfect combination of confident, cocky, and above all capable fighters with just the right amount of charisma needed to appeal to the masses. This brash Irishman does far more than just run his mouth. He actually predicts when he is going to knock out his opponent and the funny thing is he is usually correct. Its hard to believe that this 5'9 145lb fighter from Dublin is the reason why the UFC is becoming a household name in America.-Mike Straus</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/45125322016-12-16T12:00:00-06:002016-12-21T15:45:13-06:00Devil's Radio Favorite Christmas Songs!<p>THE DEVIL'S RADIO TOP 10 CHRISTMAS SONGS OF ALL TIME..... </p>

Show 10 happened. I'm so thankful for the moment Mayday Parade gave me last night. I stood there in a room full of fans who love this band equally or more than I do and sang every word with them and some of my closest friends. With tears coming down my face I had a moment with my favorite band. I hope everyone gets that opportunity. The opportunity to feel how powerful music can be. Thank you Mayday. -George </p>
<div style="text-align: center;"> </div>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/44605462016-11-10T10:13:15-06:002016-11-10T10:13:15-06:00Election Reaction<p>I’ve had about a full 24 hours to absorb the news that Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States…it still hasn’t sunk in. If you asked me 2 years ago who Donald Trump was, I would’ve told you he’s the goofy rich guy who picks fights with celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell and has a reality show. He Likes saying “You’re Fired” and has crazy hair. I’m giving you my past knowledge of Donald Trump because I truly do not know how I will think of him in the next 4 years. I voted for a 3rd party candidate no one has ever heard of because I refused to vote the lesser of two evils. Both the Democrat and Republican candidate for president would have been destroyed in any other election. Hillary lost more than Trump won in my opinion, she campaigned hardest in swing states like North Carolina and Florida. Trump campaigned hardest in traditionally Democratic states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Trump swept all the aforementioned states. <br> I fully understand everyone’s reaction: from pure jubilation, to pure fear and sadness. To Trump voters I encourage to speak peacefully with people who have opposing views now is time to make peace. Even Trump was noticeably subdued in his victory speech no “Lock her up” chants, in fact he accomplished something, in his speech, no other Republican had before. The entire crowd cheered Hillary Clinton’s effort and commitment to serving people. <br> To Clinton or 3rd Party voters I want to say I appreciate and care for you. Many minorities, LGBT members, women, social activists and others are scared right now. I have friends that fit some or all of the listed criteria. Your life matters if you’re reading this, you deserve to feel safe ALL the time. Clinton sounds optimistic, Obama sounds optimistic, even the smug façade Trump shows is beginning to crack. Let’s hope America continues to move forward for all Americans.-Matt Dahlberg</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/44582062016-11-08T18:43:20-06:002022-05-12T07:54:01-05:00My experience in Wrigleyville for game 7 of the World Series<p> </p>
<p><br><br>Game 7 World Series Chicago Cubs you can bet there was no chance I was not going to be down in Wrigleyville for this one. I got to the game late, the scene when I got down to Wrigleyville was complete chaos. People screaming I was walking down to a bar to meet some of my friends who had been there since 4 o’clock. As I am walking I see at every window people watch the game. It was amazing to see how much this one game had enticed the entire city. By the time I got to the bar they were not letting anyone in my friends came out and we decided to try and make it to Wrigley field. This would be challenging because the street were blocked off with semi-trucks. So we headed down Clark to head to Wrigley Field we cut through alley through peoples gates all to get to Wrigley Field it was an adventure. Finally we made it to Wrigley Field. We made it to right in the center of all the action. There were no TV outside so the crowd was watching the game right outside of Wrigleyville sports and another sports bar. Every time something big happened the crowd would go crazy. What a scene it was. People had their phones out keep everyone who you were around updated on the game since we could not see the game from where we were at. I thought this was really cool people you have never meet all acting like they have known each other for years having a good time and cheer on a team that has captivated the city of Chicago. Then the game was delayed some people left to go to the bathroom. It was very calm then once the game got back underway the crowd was back into it. Cheering Cleveland sucks lets go cubs it was an electric atmosphere. The game went to extra inning and once the Cubs scored two runs in the 10th it had a feeling like this is going to be the year you could feel it in the air. Though must give credit to Cleveland they didn’t give up and scored a run in the bottom of the 10th. What happened next was a sign that this team was different then all the rest prior. The fans stayed calm and then the final out was recorded and everyone went completely nuts myself included. We were all screaming jumping up and down high fives all around me and my friend hugged we cried it was truly amazing. The scene was crazy people jump on statues high fiving each other champagne and alcohol everywhere. Dancing helicopters above us fireworks going off. People start a mosh pit throwing things it was nuts snapchats video all documenting the history that was made. I was proud because there was no riot where I was at. Now the fun part we headed back to Clark to where we were parked. People we cheer high fiving singing Go cubs Go running people dancing all over the street it was madness. I saw one guy climb a street post. Cars are honking going nuts we had to high five almost every car we passed. I saw 2 cars just stopped and people just partying. I was jumping up and down losing my mind at the fact that a team that had no won the big one did for the first time in over 108 years. I saw bike rider’s cars people all as happy as ever. We finally got to the parking garage we just looked down at the madness happening below it was truly amazing. I got in my car to head home. I decided why not so I decided to drive down Clark honking my car horn like a mad man. High fiving people talking to people to one guy in the car next to me I remember this very clearly he said “Did the cubs just win the world series” I said” That is the rumor” then we both yelled. Overall it was an amazing experience a once in a lifetime experience. #FLYTHEW #GOCUBSGO #WORLDSERIESCHAMPIONS-By Joe Zalewski</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/44503842016-11-03T12:21:39-05:002016-11-03T12:21:39-05:00The Chicago Cubs are World Series Champions <p>108 years that was the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. That is until November 2nd 2016. As a kid growing up I remember watching the Chicago Cubs. I remember guys like Sammy Sosa, Derek Lee, Moises Alou, Greg Maddux just to name a few. I remember how devastated I was when the cubs lost in 2003. Last year the Cubs made it to the playoffs and I thought could this be the year only to lose in the NLCS as they were swept in 4 game by the New York Mets. This year the Cubs seemed to have that if factor. There was something about this team that made them special you felt like this year was going to be different from previous years and HOLY COW were we right. The Cubs made it to the World Series for the first time since 1945. What a series it was the cubs were down 3-1 only to come back and win 2 games to force a game 7. Now when I was young I made a promise to myself if the Cubs had a chance to win the World Series I was going to be in Chicago and at Wrigley Field. So last night I was in that crazy scene known as Wrigley Field. Now there we no TV outside so everyone had their phones out keeping everyone up to date on the game. I remember how excited I was in the top of the 10th when the Cubs scored those 2 runs I was thinking this is finally going to be the year. That this was a team of destiny. Only to get to 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th Cubs leading by 2 and the Indians scored a run. Now this was something special when something goes wrong cubs fans usually say here we go again. Not this time everyone stayed calm and once they go that final out. Wrigley exploded I have never screamed or seen anything like it. The Chicago Cubs are World Series Champions the long wait is over. 108 years later and the CHICAGO CUBS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!<br>By Joe Zalewski</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/44493062016-11-02T17:20:43-05:002022-02-23T09:52:38-06:00Jake the Snake Roberts and the Chicago Cubs? <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1wLddC_Dg9M" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p><br><br>The Chicago Cubs have captivated their fans this year. Finishing with 103 wins and 58 losses. This is the first time the team had made it to the world series since 1945. The Cubs were in a tough spot on Tuesday facing elimination down 3-2 in the series. They had some unlikely motivation in the form of Jake the Snake Roberts. For those of you who do not know Jake the Snake Robert is a former wrestler. He is known for bringing a snake to the squared circle, he is best known as a member of the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame. I known what your wondering what does Jake the Snake Roberts have to do with the Chicago Cubs? Well check this video above from last night as Jake Roberts sent a message to the Chicago Cubs. #FLYTHEW</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/43851362016-09-22T12:36:00-05:002016-09-22T12:36:00-05:00Country Artist Spotlight: Cody Jinks<p> </p>

<p><br>Many country artist take different paths to getting on air. Some start out at local bars playing in cover bands, some try their hand at popular contest shows like The Voice or American Idol. For Haltom City, Texas native Cody Jinks, it all started in 1997 when he was the lead singer for a thrash metal band, Unchecked Aggression. </p>
<p>"You don't think about it right of the bat, but there's some pretty dark stuff both in metal and in country music" Jinks said. "Subject matter is subject matter, whether it's pop, blues, country, or metal. It gets dark for everyone now and again, and country music is certainly noted for being able to go to dark spots" </p>
<p>After his band split in 2004, Jinks took a year off and then started playing the other music he grew up with. </p>
<p>"When I was younger, back when you actually had to stand in line, I remember buying George Strait tickets the same day I bought Metallica tickets and believe me, I wasn't the only one in line doing that" </p>
<p>If you ask Jinks, the songs he writes and sings weren't even meant to be country songs. </p>
<p>"It was just coming out country songs. I wasn't trying to write them. I didn't even know how to sing country, so I had to figure it out" </p>
<p>And figure it out is exactly what he did. His fourth album titled, I'm Not The Devil, made it's debut last month and soared to number 4 on the Top Country Albumn chart, selling 11,300 copies its first week. </p>
<p>"We look like a dirty-ass rock & roll band, but whenever people ask what kind of music we play, I just tell them 'country.' I don't use any other adjectives. I'm one of those guys where one of the best compliments anyone can give me is, 'I don't like country music, but I really dig your stuff.' I just want it to be good music." </p>
<p>Good music is exactly what you hear when you go to a show that Jinks and his band, The Tone Deaf Hippies, play at weather in it's at a honky tonk, a BBQ festival, or music halls, Jinks puts on a show that all fans can enjoy. It's his edge, his look, and his tributes to greats like Merle Haggard that make Cody Jinks this weeks country artist spotlight. </p>

To sing and film the video for Country Forever. This was a very unique video. Let’s start with the song in general it is a mix of songs Take me home, Country Road and I will always love you. You think how will this work mixing those songs up but it turn out very well. It is rare to see this many artists past and present collide for a video. Some of the notable artists from the past include Ronnie Milsap, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. Some of the current country artists Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton. Also country groups you had Alabama, Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town and Rascal Flatts. Now let’s get to the video itself. Directed by Joseph Kahn who recently won a Grammy for the Taylor Swift “Bad Blood” music video. Did a very good job with this video. It starts with a lot of country scenery. Then it seems as if you are moving through the world. Even as your travel through this video it stays true to its country roots. The mix of artists past and present along with the way this video was shoot makes it a must watch.-Joe Zalewski</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/43799982016-09-19T15:47:09-05:002016-09-19T15:47:09-05:00Funny Video of the Day! <p>If you have ever watched the Eileen show, you know one thing you may get scared in some way or another.

<p>JUST CROSS THE BRIDGE by Kasi Kay<br><br>Hello Humans, We are officially 113 days away from Christmas. (No I don’t have a countdown…yes I do) Anyway, we’re off topic. I’m about 9 years late (more like months) but the other day I had the pleasure of finally watching The Good Dinosaur and let me tell you, Disney/Pixar has done it again. Spoiler Alert: The movie is about a dinosaur who gets lost and has to find his way home. The reason why he gets lost is because he is trying to catch a “critter” that has been stealing the family’s food. During the first chase he loses his father to a tragic accident. When he comes across the creature again he is in a fit of rage from grief and goes after it yet again. It is because of this he gets swept away by a powerful current and end up on what seems like the other side of the world. Somehow these two opposites find there way through danger and to friendship. Long story short this particular dinosaur has a problem with fear. His father tried so hard for him to get over this normal emotion. Totally cliché but the dinosaur realizes that fear is a perfectly normal emotion it’s being brave that matters. Fear sometimes holds us back from achieving greatness. I know it’s easier said than done but if you can be brave enough to try you’ve already one. Remember no one can stop your shine but you. Don’t forget to tune in to theedgeonair.com for the greatest music you’ve never heard. Until next time America. *salute*</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/43528872016-09-01T00:28:00-05:002021-03-13T01:35:28-06:00Country Artist Spotlight: Aaron Watson<div class="getty embed image" style='background-color: white; color: #a7a7a7; display: inline-block; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11px; max-width: 594px; width: 100%;'>

Born in Amarillo, Texas in 1977, Watson graduated from Randall High School there and went on to attend college at Abilene Christian. Thats where he began learning guitar and started chasing a dream that ever young boy has. His first two albums, A Texas Cafe and Shut Up And Dance, gained regional success in Texas. </span><br><br><span style="font-size: large;"><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'>He had many more albums through out the years, with each one gaining more listeners and more fans. It wasn't until 2015 when Aaron Watson made history by releasing his latest album, The Underdog. With that album he became the first solo male artist to debut at number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with a self-released, independently distributed, and prompted album. </span></span><br><span style="font-size: large;"><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'><br></span><span style='font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;'>"I've always like the idea of the underdog," says Watson.

"I'm not one of these guys that can put on a pair of skinny jeans and turn my hat around backwards and sing those pop country radio songs. Nothing against those guys, but if I played that role, it wouldn't be me.

It’s August 26th (day after my birthday). It’s a beautiful day. Summer is almost over so make sure you’re getting out there and enjoying it because….winter is coming. It’s amazing how fast time flies. I remember starting school in May thinking this is going to be a long process. Now here I am almost 4 months later with 5 months to go. It is so hard to live in the moment when we are constantly running. Going to work, going to school, making sure the kids are taken care of, we always seem to forget to actually live. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who made a really good point about social media and the media itself. We don’t even realize that 95% of the time the information we’re getting is from the media. I was born in a ’87 and looking back on my childhood, even without the technology life was great. Some children nowadays are being raised by a screen.<br>Gone are the days where children would be outside for hours. I want to challenge some of you to turn that cellphone off, turn that tablet and if it’s not a movie or tv show you’re enjoying with your friends or family, turn off the tv. My favorite past time that I recently got into that was so much fun is games. Any kind of game really; board games, card games or even Jenga. Catchphrase is one of my current favorites. If you haven’t tried it go pick it up now, make some calls to your favorite people and try it out. We get so caught up in life that we actually forget to live. Life is too short to not create memories with the people you love. Pictures and videos will never compare to the thoughts and memories and the happiness you feel when you think about that one time Alex almost broke the glass shelf trying to imitate Dane Cook during charades (true story) but that’s my point. I didn’t get it on video but I will always have that memory.<br>Shine Bright and do what you love. Where your true passion lies is where your heart and you certainly can live without that.</p>The Edge On Airtag:theedgeonair.com,2005:Post/43266002016-08-15T21:13:00-05:002017-01-13T08:04:13-06:00The Dirty Heat releases their video for "Empty Spaces"<p>A creative and insightful song that reveals so much about our generation.

They are back and this song which was debuted along the MY2K tour and released as a single on August 2nd is their defining track. Out of all previously released tracks on both their mainstream albums, "I Believe" blends all their artistic avenues with solid lyrics to back it up. They bring back a lost art form in the pre-refrain with Ashley and Diana trading off the 1st and 2nd time through with a hard and to the point spoken word mood. They also have a solid bridge with the slow down tempo and good echo harmonies with was always an undervalued strength of the girls. Ashley shows her power as she hits the high harmony starting in the first refrain and carries it through to the end, instead of the usual, wait for the build-up until the final refrain, and have the background be 1 or 2 of the singers, and everyone else going on runs. This song should get attention as its a true POP song, which is sometimes lost in the current scene where artists and lyricists try to do do much, and no one can decide on a tempo.

Next is ‘Love me more’ this song you can really feel the emotion of this song. The piano really hits home and it is a nice touch and fits the song very nicely. Warning you may want to have a box of tissues near you for this song. That is followed up by ‘Heartbreak Radio’ which, is a song about the struggle which most artist have faced trying to get their music on the radio.

Sadly, this means it's out with the old and in with the new. Starting this month, we are letting you help us which "oldies" songs get kicked off of our playlist. Each month we will pick 5 songs that have been in our rotation for years. We will put those songs into a poll where you can vote for the song you want off of our playlist. The song with the most votes will get "THE EDGE HAMMER" and will then be thrown into our vaults never to be heard from again (or until we feel like dusting off the .mp3 and throwing it back into rotation). Here are this month's 5 songs:<br><br>1. Blimp - Tiny Tiny<br>2. Royal Baby - Greatest Revenge<br>3. The Old Hats - Red Like Fire<br>4. Pinkstar - Monsters<br>5. Psyrin - Suicide in Stereo<br><br>Take a listen below to hear a sample from each song and head to our homepage at TheEdgeOnAir.com to vote! <br><br>The song with the second most votes automatically gets thrown onto next month's list.

We know we're a little late on recognizing him, but he is very deserving of this award. Ryan is in The May Nights class at ICB in Lombard and has been on the station since June. Since arriving, he has excelled in hard work and constant improvement. He has been willing to take any shift available and help out whenever needed. We consider ourselves lucky to have him. His natural character, personality, and work ethic should take him far. Congratulations again Ryan!<div> </div>
