Badass of the Week: Seth Meyers {@sethmeyers}
I know what your all thinking: Ryan your so handsome and smart and thoughtful, but is Seth Meyers really a badass? Well that all depends on how you define the word. Let me make the case and then you can decide.
Seth Meyers has been in comedy his whole life. He started off as a member of the improv group Here Comes Treble (just kidding) at Northwestern and just completed his first week as host of Late Night with Seth Meyers. While those individual accomplishments alone may not qualify him to be badass, what happened in between definitely does.
Meyers cut his teeth as an improv comic, and eventually joined the greatest sketch comedy group in the world, Saturday Night Live, in 2001. Meyers never caught on as a full blown sketch comic, but his talent, comedic writing, was always on full display. Meyers eventually stopped appearing in sketches and became one of the head writers in 2006; that same year he became co anchor of SNL’s cornerstone segment, Weekend Update. Meyers and Amy Poehler were two of the best anchors on Weekend Update, as they mixed their remarkable chemistry and witty banter to create a must see segment every week. When Poehler left the show in 2008, Meyers stayed on as the lone anchor and continued his head writing duties. He left the show last month, after co anchoring Update with newcomer Cecily Strong for all of this season. During his SNL tenure, Meyers won three Writers Guild of America awards and was nominated for eight Emmys, including a win in 2011.
Meyers next adventure started this week, as he took over for Jimmy Fallon as host of Late Night. Though we’ve only had a week of material to judge him on, its clear Meyers strengths will be his interviews. Unlike Fallon, he doesn’t mind playing the straight man, leaving his guests to embrace the spotlight, something I’m sure most celebrities will have no problem doing.
Is Seth Meyers a badass? You bet your sweet ass he is. He’s made a living out of making other people laugh, whether it be on stage or through his writing. I salute you, Seth Meyers. Here’s to the next chapter.

Lebron James Channeling His Inner Philippe From Man in the Iron Mask
Is Lebron trying to overthrow his evil twin brother or playing a basketball game? Because I honestly can’t tell. If Lebron wants to know why the whole world hates him, look no further than last night. A few years ago Lebron got a face boo boo while playing for the Cavs and wore a regular face mask. Now he gets the same boo boo and of course he has to make a spectacle of it. He knew the game was on TNT. He knew it would get national coverage. And now instead of the story being about his TEAM winning the game, SportsCenter will have 18 different segments dedicated to his mask. Puke city.

Jimmy Buffet Talks Drones, Android and More!
I never in a billion years thought I would see Jimmy Buffet on Techzilla! I love what he is doing with drones at his concerts. Very innovative.

The Atlah World Missionary Church Seems to Have a Solid Grasp on Reality
Obama has released the homo demons on the black man. Look out black woman. A white homo may take your man.
There are few things I loathe more than a hateful sign with bad grammar. Is this Atlah church only warning one black woman? Or black women in general? Maybe next time pick a member of your clergy that went to middle school and assign them to sign duty. And poor Barack Obama. I’m not saying he’s the greatest president in the world but accusing someone of unleashing homosexual demons on his own citizens is a pretty horrible accusation. If you want to raise taxes or cut military spending be my guest, but you leave those homosexual demons out of it. It’s sad that a group of people like this church exist, but I guess that’s the world we live in. Just watch out for those homosexual demons, guys. I heard they can be persuasive.

Barry Switzer Doesn’t Seem to Like Johnny Manziel
Source – Barry Switzer has mixed feelings on the Heisman winner. The legendary coach who won three national titles with the Sooners and a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys, joined The Morning After on St. Louis CBS Sports 920 Wednesday.
Switzer blasted Manziel’s attitude, calling his behavior embarrassing at times.
“I don’t like his antics. I think he’s an arrogant little prick. I’ve said that and I’ll say it again. He’s a privileged kid, he’s embarrassed himself, he’s embarrassed his teammates, he’s embarrassed his coaches.”
“For whatever his antics are… he’s the best that I’ve seen. I have never seen a quarterback in college football… control of the game like he does and put up the numbers he does. It is fantastic what he’s done, against good competition. Game after game after game he puts numbers up that are staggering….. He’s the most dominant, most dynamic college quarterback I’ve ever seen in a long, long time.”
Jeez Barry, tell us how you really feel. Yes he tried to save face and said he thought Manziel was a good quarterback but calling someone a prick kind of trumps that. Actually calling someone an “arrogant little prick” trumps most things. In my opinion, Switzer comes off as a cranky old man in this interview. I understand not everyone likes Manziel’s style or his off the field antics. But he just turned 21. He’s one of the best college football players in the country and he’s from TEXAS. Being a great football player from Texas must be like dying and going to heaven. Texans worship football like I worship meatloaf (the food) and Clooney. I can give him a pass for having a little too much to drink from time to time. One thing that I know for sure is that whoever drafts him has a potentially franchise changing quarterback who, above all else, will be a lot of fun to watch.
