I call to order this meeting of the Ghustice League, and offer to Mark and Zman a mission. Find Jay Shells and
offer our assistance in his endeavors. From Fast Company:
Graphic designer and urban interventionist Jay Shells
decided that New York City locations, memorialized in rap songs by the
likes of Mos Def, Nas, or Jay-Z, should get the recognition they’re due.
His guerrilla signage project has installed official-looking signs with
rap lyrics at the exact locations referenced. "Cause I want to be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz,"
rapped Kanye West. Now, a sign says as much, posted at, you guessed it,
the intersection of Park Avenue and 106th St. (the Harlem location
where BET once had a studio).
We don't have to limit our efforts to rap, of course. I'm certain Clarence and I would enjoy figuring out where Oppenheimer Road is, and posting an Old 97s lyric, among numerous other songs and places. Everybody sign up for something in the comments. We'll make assignments soon.

This is awesome and I fully support it. I bet Rob didn't even know he was making a hip hop reference with his Justice League reference in the title of this post.
Also, to your Junior Cadougan point. I remarked earlier this week that Junior Cadougan had an awesome name but its not even the best name on his own team due to Vander Blue, whose name sounds like a Prince song.

i thought maybe there was a wu tang or other rap assemblage that might apply, but i'd be lying if i knew what i was talking about
if i *said* i knew what i was talking about.
ah, fuck it.
Are Beastie Boy tracks covered by this guy? If not, that would be fun.
The Justice League is a collective of North Carolina based rappers, the most famous of which is the group Little Brother which consists of Phonte, Big Pooh and 9th Wonder. Now you know.
And Little Brother isn't very famous but they are very good. I'd suggest the albums The Listening and The Get Back.
big pooh! of course.
I've been laughing at this all day. So I'm just going to leave it here:

The Minstrel Show is a classic must-have Little Brother album.
Jay Shells must be old because I recognize all those lyrics. The Jeru and Guru signs made me smile.
Yacht Rock tonight, peeps. I just had a piña colada.
i think we're gonna insist you write a review of this one, my friend. better have someone take notes for you.
Three Sheets!
q: what do clarence and my aged cat have in common?
a: they've both pissed in a pile of my clean laundry.
Cuse lead now up to 12...Marquette can't make a bucket
can't get that kind of analysis just anywhere, folks
Indeed
That Bud Light couch commercial is incredibly dumb, even by Bud Light ad standards.
Rob, that is awesome. Kudos to Mo the cat.
Clarence, will you be donning a yacht rock-specific outfit for tonight's show?
Adios, Marquette
Blue blazer, white Oxford, orange anchor ascot, captain's hat, possibly an Afro wig, and a huge buzz.
Niiiiiiice
Manuel.....I need more blood
future mayor of one of america's largest cities, ladies and gentlemen. he'll be campaigning on a full recounting of his sordid past under the theory that the voters will embrace his honesty and candor. kinda like abe.
according to facebook, clarence is at a place called pounders. because of course he is.
kevin kolb inking a deal with the bills tonight, according to adam schefter. poor zman.
I continue to root for Wichita State. Love their unis. Wouldn't move there if you paid me.
it's not even a fucking state
but i agree with mark's geographical disdain. i don't think i've ever even been to kansas.
Butt Pounders
Just saw a pic of Clarence on fb..or as fb calls him, someone else.
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
Hee haw!
Hee haw!
someone check on zman. i think he just had a stroke.
We could post a sign on the intersection of Houston & 3rd, referenced by Ryan Adams in New York, New York.
Oh wait , we can't, because no such intersection exists. Weak poser move, Mr. Adams.
Ohio State gettin' worked
we could post the lyrics of that indie lumineers tune that features canal and bowery...except that it's been ruined for me because it's played 11 times an hour on my kids' favorite station.
uh oh.
C'mon Wichita St, get ur shit together
Shockers are fine. Hopefully Brand Jordan will start selling me their shorts soon.
Still nervous for them right now
Done. I'm going to pretend Florida doesn't have a game tomorrow for a few more hours.
Tomorrow's games should be fantastic. CANTWAIT
TJ's right. Tomorrow's game have a lot of potential.
Kein Kolb!? He got benched for John Skelton! He sucked despite throwing to Larry Fitzgerald! Two years for $13 million! Perfect.
Hi, Gheorghies!! Happy Easter!!
Oh, lord. I need a resurrection. Ouch.
special thank you to Clarence for providing today's filler...
