"Pause that..."

People at Geese Chatter and our readers have been scouring the internet for things in dire need of being paused. This first one was already posted and paused by Evan Turner. @ThekidET is a noted veteran of the pause game - always making sure to cover his tracks before posting on his Twitter or Instagram. Six days ago, he put up a photo of 76ers rookie, Arnett Moultrie, with a lollypop on Instagram with the caption, "#PicFrame the rook loves his suckers #pause." On behalf of Geese Chatter and "pausers" everywhere, I would like to commend Evan Turner on a job well done.
Another well done should be handed out to J.R. Smith who admitted his Instagram photo was a bit sketchy, but too good to pass up on.


One of our readers, Marquis, hit me up with another rap lyric that needs to be paused. Who was the culprit? Shocker...Drake.

Started From the Bottom - Drake
"I can turn your boy into a man..."

And upon further research, I came across this all-timer from Drake...

Fuckin' Problem - A$AP Rocky ft. 2 Chainz, Drake, & Kendrick Lamar
"If you comin' for my head, then motherfucker get to bustin..."

Gay? Straight? You be the judge.

4. "Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."

5. "A nickel isn't worth a dime today."

6. "You can observe a lot just by watching."

7. "You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."

8. "90% of the putts that are short don't go in."

9.  "If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

Lock of the night

What's a Hoya?  To be quite frank, I have no clue.  My brother-in-law once told me but since then I have forgotten.  Tonight Georgetown (18-4, 8-3 Big East) plays Cincinnati (19-6, 7-5 Big East) in a battle for the Big East.  If the Hoyas walk out victorious, they will sit on top of the standings.  If they lose, first place will be up for grabs.  We have Otto Porter Jr. for the Hoya's who averages 15 points and 8 rebounds a game against Sean Kilpatrick of the Bearcats who averages 18 points and 5 boards.  Look for these studs to light it up for both teams.

Bubble Watch: Three Paths to the NCAA Tournament for the UMass Minutemen

The UMass Minutemen are currently presented with the opportunity to make it to their first NCAA Tournament in 15 years.  They sit squarely on the bubble and the stretch run of the 2012-2013 begins this week.  If they can fulfill one of these three scenarios, they should be dancing in March...

DMV Basketball Players

For those that don't know I was born in a hospital in Washington DC, grew up in a home in Takoma Park, Maryland, and when I was 3 moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland where I live within a 5 minute walk of the border to Washington DC.  Needless to say I rep the D[M]V.  For all of you non-DMVers that stands for DC Maryland Virginia.  I put the bracket around the "M" because I am a Maryland guy. I have always been fascinated by the extreme basketball talent that comes from the DMV and I never pass up the opportunity to mention to my friends which College and NBA players went to a High School near me, or someone who I have played against in AAU.  As I get into this post I will write about the most known players that went to high school or are from the DMV and now play at a high level of basketball or will be playing at a high level soon.  From this post I want readers to realize that the DMV is the best place for up and coming basketball players.

"Pause that..." - Rap Lyrics

Anyone who knows me understands that I'm not the biggest rap fan. Half the time, I can't understand what those guys are saying. Anyone who finds themselves jamming to these songs and doesn't pause the track (literally and figuratively) when they hear these lyrics has to do some serious self reflection...

Get Loose - T.I.
"Takin' cum to the face, yeah I like it like that."

Ridin' - A$AP Rocky feat. Lana Del Ray
"Uh, uh. Catch me ridin' like a bitch."

Here Comes Da Boom - DMX
"Motherfucka', I'll rip your butthole outta place."
