Sav of the Day

Pvt. 1st Class Anthony T. Kaho'ohanohano

This Hawaiian dude was recently awarded the Medal of Honor, despite getting killed in 1951. Serving in the Korean War, he committed some of the most commendable acts of savagery in the stage of battle that I have ever heard. Basically what happened was the 21 year old Kaho and his battalion were getting hit real hard by the Asians. They were clearly outnumbered and were forced to retreat. But Kaho being the sav that he is went back behind enemy lines by himself and proceeded to fire at them until he was out of ammunition, at which point he engaged in hand to hand combat until he was killed. The total kill count: 14. That's an unbelievable kill to death ratio.. 14 to 1. But this is real fucking life. Kids got some balls.

Sav of the Day

Barack Obama

In keeping with the patriotic theme of savs we've been having, I think its a no brainer that Barack "the rock" Obama gets his time in the sun. And really, this was warranted even before he hunted down Bin Laden. Over the weekend our commander in chief took the stage at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, and was fucking comedy. Takes shots at all his critics, especially Donald Trump, who was not having it at all. Fast forward to the 10 minute mark where shit gets real funny and Trump gets rattled. Keep in mind he was doing this knowing that we were in the process of tracking Bin Laden, the biggest make or break moment of his presidency. The dude had a lot on his plate.

Our last 3 presidents have been savs (Obama, Bush, Clinton). This says a lot about our nation. Fuck France.

Sav of the Day

Lloyd Banks

What a better gift on your 29th birthday than to be named Sav of the Day. The G Unit member was kind of born into fame and success by just being childhood friends with 50 Cent, but there's no denying Banks' talents. The man can spit, and he's got one of the most distinctive voices in the game. His career tapered off a bit a few years ago when the Kanye Wests of the world put gangsta rap out of favor, but he made a huge comeback last year with the song "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley" (which has one of the best beats ever). It looks like Banks is here to stay, and we look forward to hearing more sick songs from him.

Sav of the Day

Adam Schefter

No question the biggest sav to come out of last night’s draft was Adam Schefter. No it wasn’t Mel Kiper Jr who left a giant jizz stain on everyone’s television set. Not Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert who are dooming their respective franchises until they are forced to move to Los Angeles. It’s Adam Schefter, the guy who was sitting on the bench next to Chris Mortensen in ESPN’s draft coverage. He made the most of his lack of airtime, instead using twitter to tell the world who the next team was gonna pick (and he was mostly dead on). How is Schefter such an insider? I have no idea, but what I do know is that his talents have pushed John Clayton (that old fuck) to scrap heap of ESPN’s NFL guys. Schefter just knows his shit. 

Sav of the Day

Mark Herzlich

There’s not a bigger sav in this draft class than linebacker Mark Herzlich. He may not have the name recognition of the Cam Newton’s of the world, but he has the most amazing story. He started his first few years at Boston College as one of the most promising players in the nation, being named an All-American and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. Then in 2009 he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Like the sav he is he continued his workouts throughout the chemo, and was announced as cancer-free. Though he sat out the entire year, he came back strong in 2010. Draft prospects still relish in his talents, and he’s expected to be a mid-round pick this year, possibly going as high as the second round. Herzlich’s an inspiration to us all, and the fact that he’s a beast makes him a guy all NFL fans want on their team.

Sav of the Day

Jon Gruden

Chucky gets the nod today because not only is Thursday the NFL draft (and of course Jonny will be there analyzing each pick) but he's easily one of the biggest savages ever to grace the sideline. His intensity is unmatched, he constantly just chirped at the refs and shouted outrageous expletives while rocking his patented visor look. And you can't put his resume in question either, Gruden won the 2002 Super Bowl with the Bucs making him the youngest head coach to ever do it. Nowadays you can find him on ESPN doing Monday Night Football and doing bullshit football segments like Gruden's QB Camp, which is basically him gloating over draft prospects that are all better than the QBs he coached (Jeff Garcia? Brad Johnson? Chris Simms?..I rest my case). I'm convinced Gruden can get virtually any NFL or college job he wants, he's just waiting for the right opportunity.

Here's a clip of a Gruden pregame speech. Tell me you wouldn't want to go to war this guy. Not quite Pacino in AGS, but this ain't a movie, dog.

Sav of the Day

The Waterskiing Squirrel

I realize this video is over a million years old, but you gotta give credit where credit is due. When you're easily the most prolific and talented being in your species, you are definetley a sav. The waterskiing squirrel is the only noteworthy squirrel I've ever known...most of them just run around looking for acorns and run away like a pussy when you get close. This one doesn't do that shit. He bides his time waterskiing, and getting as much tail most squirrels get in 10 years, in 2 days. So enjoy the moment squirrels, this will in all likelihood be your last sav.

Sav of the Day

Rene Rancourt

Today's Sav of the Day is Rene Rancourt. Now that we are currently in the middle of the NHL Playoffs, it is fittingly so that the singer of the National Anthem for the Bruins gets the nod today. For the last 35 years he has been singing both the U.S. and Canadian (which Bruins fans aren't as disgraceful as the Habs piece of shit fans, so we do not boo it.) National Anthems. The best part is, that he does not even have a contract with the Bruins, according to Rancourt; "I've never had a contract; I’ve always just shown up and I’ve become associated with the Bruins." Besides the actual singing, the thing that he is most known for is his signature fist pump after every time he finishes the National Anthem, complete Savage!

Sav of the Day

Al Pacino

If you're gonna have a discussion on all time greatest sav actors, Chino's gotta be towards the top of this list. Though most of the movies he makes now completely suck, his mere presence is enough to make it watchable. And fuck it...his resume speaks for itself. He's done it all. He's played cops, drug dealers, doctors, mobsters, and he's always on. The Godfather series. Scarface. Heat. The list goes on. He's also a boss in his personal life..dude's never been married. Clearly he knows there's no point of having some money grubbing whore steal half his net worth when he'll fuck them anyway.

Below is a clip from Any Given Sunday. Its the best inspirational speech ever made, real or scripted. If it doesn't get you jazzed up go kill yourself.

Sav of the Day

"The Shot Heard Around the World"

Although the shooter is unknown, the person who pulled the trigger on this date in 1775, is a complete Sav, for it ignited the American Revolution. With that shot it was the first of many revolutions to stop the British from having control over the United States. It took balls to do this, considering before the shot there was just shouting, and seemed like what previously had always happened was going to happen again, the British were just going to continue to remain in control. This took courage for this guy to do this, putting his life on the line, but this would prove to pay off, encouraging other Americans to stand up, and find a national identity, to become it's own independent country, The United States of America! Fuck Ya!

Sav of the Day

Nicolas Cage

More and more details are starting to be revealed about Cage's arrest early Saturday morning. Apparently he drunkenly stumbled into a tattoo parlor, demanded to get tatted up, and then requested the police be called because he forgot where he lived. He was booked on charged of domestic violence and disturbing the peace. Stories about Cage just keep getting weirder and weirder. Despite being a respected actor and having won an oscar, most of his movies of the past 10 years have been virtually unwatchable, mainly because he's a shitty actor. Here's a youtube video with clips from the movie The Wicker Man, and by the looks of it this had no business being made. In Nic's mind, a paycheck's a paycheck.

Sav of the Day

Uncle Tito

Rocket Power was full of people who thought were savs but were really just homos. Otto was an arrogant asshole, Twister was his bitch, and Sam was a squid. Uncle Tito was always there to keep the kids in check. He could cook a mean burger at the shack, and had a wise Hawaiian saying for literally everything. Plus he could surf better than anyone despite his fatness. Here's to you Tito. We could all use a Hawaiian uncle in our lives.  

Sav of the Day

Jackie Robinson

Today's Sav of the Day, is Jackie Robinson. On this date April 15th, 1947 he pulled the ultimate Sav move by breaking the color barrier in the MLB. At age 28 he was the first African-American to ever play baseball in the MLB. He broke into the league with the Dodgers, who at the time were playing in Brooklyn. He wore the number 42, which is retired across all of baseball now to recognize his performance. He put up the stats that he did while constantly being under the spotlight, due to the racism during the time he played. He was constantly being heckled, and faced major discrimination throughout his whole career, and still made himself into one of the best that ever played.

Sav of the Day

John Wilkes Booth

Today's Sav of the Day, is John Wilkes Booth.On this date yes he did kill one of the greatest Presidents of all time in Abe Lincoln. But this took some serious brass balls to shoot the President of the United States, being the first President ever to be shot. He was a famous stage actor at the time so when he jumped off the railing, onto the stage breaking his ankle like a Sav, people thought it was just part of the play. He then continued to shoot the President, and ran on his broken ankle, hopped on his horse, and drove off into the night. But before he left he yelled, "Ever Thus To Tyrants! The South is Avenged!" This guy stood for what he believed in, and followed through in a Sav way.

Sav of the Day

Tiger Woods

"My wife will kill me if I cheat"

"Not bad.."

This may seem a little strange considering the masters were a few days ago and he didn't win. However, his anniversary of becoming the youngest person ever to win the Masters comes today. And he won the thing by 12 strokes, raping the field of veterans around him. To play that well on such a difficult course and on such a giant stage is truly amazing, especially when you're 21 (that's word to your pussy ass, McIlroy). To all those who hated on the Schwartzel SOTD, Woods was the alpha savage of the whole field. Since his first major victory he's compiled many more wins, and became the highest paid athlete in the world. He also took some time off from his dime wife to bang every porn star, stripper, and cocktail waitress he came across. Hate him or love him, he's the last guy any golfer wants to face on the back 9, and his mere presence can make a boring golf game must see TV.

Sav of the Day

Yuri Gagarin

50 years ago today, the Russian became the first human being in space. That could literally be one of the coolest distinctions to have, to be the very first guy to ever leave earth. What he experienced on that journey no one had ever before, and he had no idea what to expect. It'd be cooler if he was American, but he still has to be one of the most under the radar savs of all time. The first human in space, and no one really knows who he is. Even going into space now is a ridiculous experience, most people alive never get to go. Props to you Yuri, most of us would be shitting their pants if that was them.

Sav of the Day

Charl Schwartzel

Today's Sav of the Day is of course the Masters Winner, a tradition like no other. Not only was it amazing that he won the Masters with the the star studded cast that he was up against, but in the fashion that he did it was remarkable. I am not gonna lie I was pulling for Tiger, who by the way was no slouch, making up 7 shots in the front 9 yesterday. Schwartzel did not gain the lead until the 17th hole, where he birdied to take the lead. He went to the 18th and came up with yet another birdie. He finished the Masters by finishing with 4 straight birdies, being the first to ever do this to win the Masters. Congratulations on the win Charl, truly amazing, and congrats on your wife, truly a fox.

Beer

Have another one.

Sav of the Day

Hank Aaron

Today is the Anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking the home run record, with his 715th career home run. Obviously technically he is not the leader anymore, but in any true baseball fan's eyes he is still the home run king, and is one of the best to ever play the game. Now it is bullshit, and all the stats are bumped up with the steroid era. It is sad that it has ruined the game, and records like the great Hank Aaron have just been swept away. And he was doing this in a different way to, he was constantly receiving hate mail, and death threats while he was on the pursuit to be home run king. Hank Aaron, one of the greatest to ever play, the true Home Run King (Fuck you Bonds!) and most importantly Sav of the Day.

Sav of the Day

Joe Francis

Today's Sav of the Day is Joe Francis. If you do not know, he started the tapes "Girls Gone Wild." That in itself is sav worthy. I mean literally has every guys dream, consistently getting to see the finest dimes around. Why he was chosen today was because of his recent court case win. He was put on trial for charges of "emotionally damaging," 4 girls who have been featured numerous times. Allegedly he "ran their lives," while they were working for Francis. Of course he was found innocent and did not have to pay a dime to the girls. The whole jury even consisted of all women, and even they felt that Francis had done nothing wrong, and these camera whores were just trying to make more money after realizing, "Girls Gone Wild," features younger girls, and clearly they are past their prime.
