The Sun Will Rise In Phoenix

If you weren’t able to watch or listen to the Phoenix Suns’ press conference last week where they introduced the team’s newest member, Shaquille O’Neal, to the world, you missed some really great quotes from the Big Aristotle.


One memorable quote he spouted was “Start selling the T-shirts now, all the marketing people, I’m giving you this one for free. ‘The Sun will rise in Phoenix.’ Start selling them now, $9.99 at the Phoenix Suns store.” (link) Of course I headed over to the Phoenix Suns store later on that day and unfortunately the organization didn’t move fast enough to capitalize on the greatness that is Shaq. Instead, all I found were some O’Neal Jerseys and a few t-shirts I wouldn’t be caught dead in.


Thankfully, the website Shirt-a-Day hasn’t left The Blot hanging. Today they’ve unveiled their own unique Shaq t-shirt designed for free by O’Neal himself. The shirt is definitely a keeper, but I need more people to buy it to lower the price so I can then purchase mine later today. Check out the Shaq/Phoenix Suns shirt below as well as another awesome shirt, an 18-1 shirt in New York Giants script created by the crew over at Shirt-a-Day. Whether you’re a “Giants fan or a Patriot hater,” this shirts for you! (link)

Bond, James Bond

EON Productions and the Broccoli family have finally released the first teaser promotional poster for the 22nd installment of the 007 franchise, Quantum of Solace. This just might be the worst title for a Bond film ever, but it’s pretty hard to compete with classic Bond titles such as Octopussy and Moonraker.


The problem I’m having with the movie’s title is that every time I read or hear about Quantum of Solace I keep picturing the Pontiac Solstice, and that can’t be the connection they’re aiming for. Thankfully Daniel Craig is returning for his second film as Ian Fleming’s James Bond, so I’m anticipating this movie will be as good or better than 2006’s Casino Royale.
