TopJLax: "Bro's!" & "No's!" of the Week 08/22/2010
This week in the lovable commentary section we have everything from awesome tv channels, a few fashion tips, how not to work out the gym, to a movie worth the watch. That's right viewer, you are AWESOME, and if you continue to read this section, hopefully we'll steer you clear of the perils of not being BRO. Because that really would not be very much fun at all.
Bro!!!
Whichever executive it was that decided this year we shall give the masses lacrosse deserves to receive a hamper full of tasty bread and jams. Give us your address and we'll have it fed ex'd over. ESPN America, well played. Not only did you give us all of the NCAA playoffs (albeit at very weird tape delay times, but hey don't shoot the golden goose) but they've also provided for us this weekend most of the MLL Finals. Coach Dave already took a look at why we love the MLL this week and for those of us in possession of a Skybox with the correct subscription we were able to view the Final and Semi action. Happy days, beats the Premiership anyway, there weren't even any goals this weekend...

No Bro!!!
As we've already mentioned it's been a great week for lacrosse viewing, and one of the things that tickled our funny bone whilst watching the games was socks. It got us thinking, everyone owns a pair of Nike or Adidas white sports socks, and come game day they should be positioned nicely below your calf muscle. So how do so many get it so wrong? Black socks are the obvious culprit, so low on the bro-o-meter we almost had to reach for a bottle of anti-freeze. I mean Team Canada at the Worlds, we're even dubious that the best of the best struggle to rock it, so you and me, I think not? Check out the picture on the left, you can just tell the fuzzy guys in the background are more likely to make that clutch play.

Not many films deserve multiple viewings, or even verge on entertaining more the second time round. Zombieland is an exception as it combines some awesome bro like zombie killing with a sack full of laughs and sultry looking smokeshow (yeah I can use that word too Coach Dave). In particular the character played by Woody Harrelson named Tallahassee gets uber BRO status. With his catchphrase "Nut up or shut up" and a selection of blunt instruments for taking down the possessed and finally a super dry sense of humour to boot he really is worth the price of the rental on its own. Not only that but we love the Spanish title "Bienvenidos a Zombieland". They get it right over there en Espagne don't they?!

So we were at the gym this weekend and we noticed, for the second week running, a pair of vest top sporting, top heavy, Jack Wills wearing young gentlemen who would affectionately fall into the category of Gym Monkeys. Now I'm sure you've all seen these types, they reside in gyms, and tend to concentrate their workouts on the bench (chest friendly) and dumb-bell curls (bicep friendly) with often sneaky and occasionally longing stares in the mirror. If you're struggling to find them, check for underdeveloped calves and legs, and don't go looking around the squat rack. Children, train hard to be a good athlete, concentrate on compound exercises that will pay dividends on the field, and it's more than likely the beach body will appear out of nowhere.
