Majestic Varsity Range



American sportswear brand Majestic have put together a nice collection of varsity baseball jackets.

Specialising in all sports American - except "soccer", this baseball line by Majestic is a real winner.

With a selected range retailing from £60 on the Wellgosh website, my favourite has to be the 60% wool/40% polyester combo which retails at £120.

Mos signs with G.O.O.D Music


Black Dante' aka Mos Def is now a member of the G.O.O.D Music family.
The label already includes the amazing talents of (founder) Kanye West, Common, Pusha-T of The Clipse, John Legend, Consequence, Mr Hudson and many others.

Although Mos' latest album, The Ecstatic was a great piece of work, there wasn't much hype around it. Having already worked with Kanye on 'Two Words' from 2004's The College Dropout and 'Drunk and Hot Girls' from 2007's Graduation, the two know how to create heat.

I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Kanye's next album which is due to drop later this year and now Mos Def is on a label which includes such an array of talented people, his next album should contain a lot of GOOD music and is sure to be classic.

Left-back FANTASTIC

I need to get this out as it's been bugging me for some time. If you didn't know already, I'm a Chelsea fan and I've been very impressed by the start the Blues have made to this Premier League campaign. With just five league games played, Chelsea have scored 21 goals...that's an impressive stat right there.

For me though, there have been two outstanding performers. The Ghanaian machine that's Michael Essien - who has been immense in the midfield so far and the guy everybody (apart from Chelsea fans) love to hate, Ashley Cole. The latter, is England's left back and I don't think I'm alone when I say that he is currently the best player in his position.

Cole was a member of the 'unsuccessful' England World Cup squad in the summer and he was for me, team's best performer. He played in all four of England's games and gave a good account of himself, bombing down the left flank whenever he saw an opportunity.

Before the start of this season, there was speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid but that never materialised. For some years now the 29-year-old has been getting a lot of unnecessary abuse from supporters whenever Chelsea play away from home. However, the abuse he receives from fans seems to have no affect on the players performance. Instead, it seems like he fuels himself off it.

Personally, I think he is underrated which for me is a consequence of his private life. He was married to X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole (notice how she's kept the surname Cole) but for whatever reason, the two divorced earlier in September.

Despite all this drama in his private life and the torrent abuse he receives every other week, Ashley Cole continues to perform at a high level which makes him an essential member of the Chelsea team and one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League right now.

It's only right to give credit where credit's due and right now, Ashley Cole deserves credit by the boat load.

P-Nut


Check out this 7-year-old rapper, P-Nut from Memphis with his throwback jheri curl looking like any West Coast rapper back in the 90's.

The little dude's got serious talent, he blew me away. After actually hearing him rap and then hearing him speak, I was like pleasantly surprised.

He speaks so articulately and I love his message to the kids, "stay in school...pay attention to your teachers." That's some real talk right there and the guy's only 7-years-old.

DO YOU P-Nut.

Mesut Oezil



My first sport blog post was about Mesut Oezil who had an amazing World Cup. After such a successful tournament it seemed like it was only a matter of time until the 21-year-old moved away from Werder Bremen. Clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona were all linked with the creative midfielder but on August 18th, Real Madrid announced they had signed him.

Oezil joins his fellow countryman Sami Khedira at the Bearnabeu and the two look set to make waves in La Liga this season under the new 'Number One', Jose Mourinho.

As a Chelsea fan, I'm slightly disappointed we didn't secure the services of Oezil after being closely linked to the player but I wish the kid luck and success at Real Madrid.
