  16. Yeah….Drake definitely didn’t even inhale.

    LOL… yeah, i was looking at this i thinking to myself the photographer must have just been taking pictures of them recording and shit and Drake must have been like “yo, make sure you get a shot of the weed, it’s gonna be so tight having pictures of weed”

  20. ^wonder if he heard about Andrew Bynum smacking around David Beckham at the club… lets be honest here, SOCCER is pretty much the pussiest sport this side of curling. There’s nothing even remotely badass about jogging in circles for an hour and a half.

  21. ^im not here to defend football but if you say it like that any sport sucks ball.. add to that the fact that not a single american is somewhat decent at football and there we have it.. football is not for americans. thats why they made american football riiiiight

    football is lame though with all the flopping and shit..

    realtalk© said this on December 25th, 2011 at 10:49 am

  22. ^ Americans aren’t (particularly) good at soccer because nobody plays soccer, and nobody plays soccer because it’s a girl’s sport. Most Americans play soccer until they’re about 10, then they grow some balls, strap on some pads and learn how to hit people. Soccer, on the other hand, is practically a non-contact sport, and these pussies still cry every time someone comes withing 5 feet of them- the entire thing is straight cottonball. Men play basketball. Real men play football. Women, children and Europeans play soccer.

  23. @RIP http://cdn.gunaxin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/football-v-handegg.jpg here you got. If you say FOOTBALL (how many times did you kick the “ball” in american football? y’all didn’t even know how to name a sport lol) have no contact, you’re a totally dumbass. and yes, it’s a sport for pussies, that’s why nobody outside the USA watch american football and about one billion of ppl watch a Barça-Madrid match or the World Cup. and that’s why when Madrid or Barçca get to USA, y’all dippin on your pants.

  25. Lol at these ignorant kids talking shit about soccer. Congratulations, you are in the vast minority.

  26. Every European that plays soccer/football is a complete bitch. You guys have the option of playing a real sport like rugby, what are you so scared of? GTFO with that twinkletoes shit.

    PS- This is not a discussion about which sport is more popular. Ice dancing is more popular worldwide than the UFC, that doesnt make it cool. The only reason the rest of the world likes soccer is because you’re all so weak that they’re afraid of getting hit.

  27. Oh and btw, to the enormous retard that tried to say 26 billion people watched the 2006 World Cup, idk where you’ve been for the last 6 years, but that was proven false ages ago, and the fake numbers were all over the news. Yes, it beat the Super Bowl in viewership (it would have to be pretty pathetic not to, since theres 4 Super Bowls to every 1 World Cup, but it had less than a billion viewers that year, and the 2010 World Cup had even less.

  34. Who really gives a shit if Drake smokes weed? It doesn’t make you cool, it doesn’t make you tough, it doesn’t make you creative, and it’s really not hard to find, ask your average high schooler.

    More than anything, the over-concentration of week in these pictures is an obvious and disappointing attempt by Drake to seem cool to teenagers, while reinforcing his self-assigned reputation as a troubled artist and his new-found identity as a part-time tough guy.

    And seriously, who gives a shit about Soccer or Football? Basketball is back, bitch!

  38. I still don’t get why you Americans call your football ‘football’, dumb shit if you ask me. And if Americans learnt how to tackle from the age of 10 then why are so many of y’all fat shits?

    Merry Boxing day.
