Forget Tom Brady!

Listen!  With this Tom Brady-being-suspended-by-the-NFL-for-four-games-thing going on, maybe it's time people start listening to old "East Side" David McDonald.  This song was written for Mr. Brady, pre-DeflateGate Scandal...when he was just a punk-pretty boy who choked up Super Bowls to the Giants.  But I believe it accurately predicted Brady as a cheatin' bastard.  Enjoy!

Breaking News! Tom Brady.........Guilty! Of Deflating Footballs! And Throwing Them!

The New England Patriots' star quarterback, Tom Brady, has been suspended for four games by the NFL for the Deflategate scandal (in which Brady apparently had footballs deflated to throw them easier).  The Pats will also lose some draft picks and have to pay a one million dollar fine.  Not good, Mr. Brady!  As Popeye once said, "Cheaters never win!"  Also as Popeye once said, "Me spinach makes my pee-pee green!"  Lastly, as Popeye once said, "Olive Oil looks like a dude!  Arggghhh!!"

Who Wants To Rock? I Know I Do! I Want To Rock!

And rock we shall.  Check out Carl & East Side Dave (and Gotts) every weekday morning at 6 AM (EST) on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 FM if you want to rock, too.  Temperatures are up.  Spring is in full effect.  Summertime approaches.  Rock and roll is in the air.  And so is my fist.  I'm raising the devil horns with pride as I dominate warm weather.  Even with my vampire-Powder-esque skin (I once got sun burnt while sitting indoors at two o'clock A.M.), I'm still making it a point to crush this week.  Have a good one, Dave Pound!

East Side Dave: Left-Handed Specialist/ Strikeout Artist.

Watch out, MLB hitters.  "East Side" Dave McDonald threw out the first pitch for the Phillies' Minor League affiliate, the Lakewood BlueClaws.  And judging by the pitch, there's no reason to feel that it is only a matter of time before Davey Mac is picked up by a team from the Big Leagues as a bullpen, lefty specialist.  That spells bad news for YOU, David Ortiz.  You won't touch my off-speed stuff with a damned telephone pole.  For the look at the pitch click on this EastSideDave Instagram link.  BAM!

It's The Last Day Of Star Wars Week! Punch It, Chewie!

Sure.  Monday was May the Fourth - Star Wars Day.  But Davey Mac don't quit that easy, dogsie.  I decided right then and there that this Monday through Friday would be Star Wars WEEK.  I'm swinging lightsabers and chopping off Stormtrooper heads faster than you can say "Force-Face".  The Eighth-ire Strikes Back, dogsie!!  Have a fantastic, cosmic weekend!!

You Rock At Work. I Work At Rock.

It's a Friday.  It's a weekend.  It's fun time.  It's go time.  The Dave Man is on fire.  He's ready to dig a hole in the backyard and get rid of-----

Anyway, let's kill it this weekenUm.  Never mind that "kill" part.  Poor choice of words.  Rock on.

Little East Side Dave - The Original Son Of Anarchy?

The proof is in ths picture, baby.  That's Lil' Davey Mac (about six years old) riding a "CHiPs" motorcycle that Santa gave me for Christmas.  I guess I was a big Erik Estrada fan.  But quite frankly, I can't recall ever liking the show "CHips".  I definitely remember loving "The Dukes Of Hazzard".....but I guess Santa couldn't afford to get me a '69 Dodge Charger.  Oh, well.  Maybe NEXT year, Santa!!  I'm still waiting, you jolly son of a bitch!!

Star Wars Day Continues! The Phantom Seventh Is Upon Us!

You thought Star Wars Day (May the Fourth) was just one day to celebrate the greatest saga of movies of all time?  Well, you thought wrong, Ewok-head!!  The Dave Man, who clearly has gone into an unhealthy OCD obsession with the Star Wars films, is keeping it going until Friday!!  Take THAT, Emperor, you piece of space-garbage!!

Copy Machines: Simply Confusing? Or Murder Traps?

I'm here doing our morning show (Carl & Dave and the Morning Rat Race) on Jersey's legendary, WRAT, 95.9 FM; and I'm realizing that I cannot work the copy machine.  Where do you put the paper in?  Is this thing a scanner?  Or do I insert the paper into some sort of slot to make the copies?  I often get so confused, I just stare (two inches away) from said copy machine and alternately scream and cry at my inability to work it.  Ah, screw it.  Who needs to make copies of their W-2 forms and death-wills anyway?  Bye, dogsie!

Why Should Star Wars Day Ever End?! It Shouldn't, I Says!!

Hey, technically today is Revenge Of The Sixth!!  Or as I like to call it Star Wars Day III.  I'm not giving up on this wonderful time of the year where we celebrate all things Star Wars.  In fact, I'm thinking of becoming a trans-Ewok a la Bruce Jenner Kenobi.  I also plan on converting my Buick into a Star Destroyer, which violates many, many traffic laws.  But if anyone tries to tell me that I'm wrong for driving a Star Destroyer down Route 33, I'll just blast them into a million pieces.  Take THAT, space-crap.  Anyway, Happy Revenge Of The Sixth!!

We Rock Today. We Rock For The Younglings.

I ain't no Lord Vader.  And even if I was somehow loosely lured to the Dark Side, Darth Dave-us does NOT decapitate Younglings.  That's where I draw the line.  Anakin Sykwalker is a yellow-eyed scumbag for that move.  Cut off Mace Windu's arm, if you want to, Anakin.  But don't chops the damned Jedi-kids' heads off, you Space-Dick.  That ain't cool, daddy.  Check out Carl & Dave on the Morning Rat Race today on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 FM!  Six A.M. (EST)!!  And DON'T behead Force-children!!

Revenge Of The Fifth! Today, Things Get Dark!

Yesterday, in homage of one of the greatest holidays in the world, May the Fourth or Star Wars Day, I watched the original, 1977 Star Wars movie.  This evening, in honor of Star Wars Day II (Revenge of the Fifth), I shall watch The Empire Strikes Back.  I also intend to train my Jedi (or Sith) skills by bench-pressing my three-footed Pomeranian dog who shall be dressed as Yoda.  Have a Sith-tacular day and evening, Dave Pound!!

May The Fourth Means........Revenge Of The Fifth!

Oh, heck to the yes!!  While May The Fourth is officially recognized as Star Wars Day, a second, much more clandestine and mysterious sequel, or as I call it, Star Wars Day II, is now afoot.....for it is Revenge Of The Fifth!!!  Bring out your red lightsabers and hooded, black robes, and your Force Lightning and your evil laugh and your willingness to choke out Imperial commanders who look at you wrong!!  Bring it, Darth Dogsie!!  Enjoy your day!!

Epic Weekend.

What an insane weekend of sporting activity.  The Rangers Vs. the Capitals.  Then, the Yanks against the Red Sox.  Then the Kentucky Derby.  Then a classic NBA Game 7 (Spurs - Clippers).  Then the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.  And it all ends this evening with Game Of Thrones, one of the greatest sports ever invented.  Life is good.
