The Brad

SocialSeattle
Born and raised in Kennewick, WA - I think I'll probably die here... I love sports...Baseball and Football especially. I get out to see live shows as much as possible...I think my favorite show to this day was Snoop Dogg and Slightly Stoopid at the Gorge...that was a real party! I go boating a lot in the summer and love to just get out on the river. That's the life, man. I'm laid back and am down for whatever. As for music, you can catch me listening to: Periphery, Dr. Dre, Pantera, Pepper, Slipknot, August Burns Red, A Day To Remember, Kanye West, Nonpoint, Kid Cudi, Bring Me The Horizon, Zac Brown Band, Deftones, The Supervillains...a little bit of everything. Shoot my a question or send me a random 'What's up?!' whenever you want. \m/ Rock on \m/

Images of Black Sabbath Drummer Bill Ward Removed from Band’s Official Website

Earlier this week, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward released a lengthy statement saying he would not be participating in a Black Sabbath reunion due to contract disagreements. Black Sabbath's response? Remove all photos of Ward from the homepage collage and gallery section on the bands official website. I bet they unfriended him on Facebook too.

Former Tri-City Dust Devil, Russell Wilson, Could be Starting Quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks

Tri-City Dust Devil fans heard a familiar name last month when the Seattle Seahawks drafted Quarterback Russell Wilson out of the University of Wisconsin 75th Overall. Wilson had a short stint in Pasco in 2010 playing Second Base in 32 games for the Dust Devils. Now the Heisman Trophy candidate, who led the Badgers to a Rose Bowl birth against Oregon this past season, is in the running to be the starting QB for the Seattle Seahawks.

Toronto Blue Jay Throws Helmet at Umpire After Being Ejected, Blue Jay Fan Then Throws Beer at Umpire [VIDEO]

It's not the first time that a fan has gone overboard at a professional sporting event, but I think this is the first time I have seen it at this magnitude.

Toronto Blue Jay Third Basemen and native Canadian Brett Lawrie was called out on a a couple of bogus...and I mean BOGUS...strike calls. Lawrie then had a few choice words for Home Plate Umpire Bill Miller. Miller ejects Lawrie from the game, and the irate third basemen then throws his helmet at the ground in Miller's direction. The helmet bounces off the ground and into Miller, which is bringing Lawrie a 4 game suspension, but what happened at the end of the game was the worst act of the whole scenario.

Drug Filled Mice Rigged with Radio Transmitters Air Dropped Over Guam to Kill Snakes

I watch 'Saturday Night Live' on a regular basis and especially the 'Weekend Update' portion with Seth Meyers. Normally I don't use this for real news updates, but this weekends episode wrapped up with a joke about planes air-dropping drug filled mice to kill tree snakes.

Troll High-Fiving People at the Leaning Tower of Pisa [VIDEO]

It's estimated that each year 1 million people visit and tour the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. We've all seen those classic photos of tourists "holding up" the tower, but I hadn't imagined the number of people standing in that awkward position waiting for their photo-op. One man saw this as his own personal photo-op to deal out some unsuspecting high fives.
