Madden 2011 Cover



With insider info EVERYWHERE, fresh heads around the globe keep emailing us asking "who will be on the cover of Madden 2011?" Fresh heads, Google no more, we have the answer... kind of. For the first time ever, fans will be able to vote for the player that appears on the cover of Madden 2011. The choices are Indianapolis WR Reggie Wayne, New Orleans QB Drew Bress, and Minnesota DE Jared Allen. Voting ends on March 15th, and the winner will be announced sometime near the NFL draft in late April. We think that the Who Dat Nation will propel Brees to winning spot, but is this a coveted or cursed win?

LeBron Wants To Be A Laker?

According to our friends at The Lakers Nation and Hoops Hype, LeBron James would like to dawn the ol' purple and gold of the Los Angeles Lakers next season. We are hearing that Lakers coach Phil Jackson LOVES LeBron. Who doesn't Phil? There are a few things that stand in the way of this happening, but with King James being a free agent this Summer, only time will tell. We would love to see Jay-Z sitting next to Jack Nicholson. J to izzA C to the izzK...

Terry Richardson x The Jersey Shore Photoshoot




Take one of my favorite photographers, Terry Richardson, and one of Nick's favorite shows, The Jersey Shore and you get this fresh post. Now go get your GTL on and don't forget to beat up the beat Juice Heads, I mean Fresh Heads.

Nike Hyperdunk - Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9

At Freshtoid, we like to bring you finer things in life, and few things are finer than an Aston Martin DB9. No surprise that Nike wanted to work with the slick secret agent car and created this Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 Hyperdunk. The shoe pays tribute to the viral campaign Nike did in 2008 with Kobe. This specific Hyperdunk has premium leather throughout the shoe, Aston Martin branding on the tongue, and is limited to only 500 pairs. The Nike Kobe Bryant x Aston Martin DB9 Hyperdunk will release this Spring. Click here for more detailed pictures of the shoe.

Gun Comb


If you attended the Freshtoid office gift exchange a few years back, you would know the significance of a nice comb. If you weren't lucky enough to be there...you should still know the importance of fresh comb. James Dean used to keep one in his back pocket, post up against the wall, then run that comb through his hair. If James Dean were around today, we are pretty sure this is the comb he would be rockin'. It is shaped like a hand gun so you can really go to battle with those bad hair days. People will know you mean business when you pull this thing out of your pocket. We're not exactly sure where you can find it in America, but Freshtoid has you covered and you can find it here on this relatively obscure international site.

Josh Sacco - Miracle Speech Kid Inspires USA Hockey Team




If you were being unAmerican this past weekend by not watching the Olympics, you missed the United States Of America Hockey Team upset Canada, 5-3. While Canucks are trying to figure out how the hell the USA did it, we think we know. His name is Josh Sacco. Five year old Josh gave the players an emotional speech from the movie Miracle. Watch his video, and the clip from the movie to see how spot on the kid is.

Tony Kornheiser Suspended From PTI

Our good friend Tony Kornheiser has been suspended from one of our favorite TV shows, Pardon The Interruption (PTI) for two weeks, following comments he made on his radio show about ESPN co-worker Hannah Storm's clothing. According to reports, Tony said the following:
"Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She’s got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt … way too short for somebody in her 40s or maybe early 50s by now. She’s got on her typically very, very tight shirt. She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body … I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t … but Hannah Storm … come on now! Stop! What are you doing?"

The next day, Tony started his radio show by apologizing and even poked fun at himself. He said:
"I apologize, unequivocally ... I'm a sarcastic, subversive guy ... I'm a troll, look at me. I have no right to insult what anybody looks like or what anybody wears. That, I think, should go without saying."

ESPN, we get it. He was a little out of line with his comments. But taking him off PTI for two weeks? Give me a break! First off, he's a talk/radio show host. This is what you pay him to do... TALK. He calls EVERYONE out, athletes, schools, owners, politicians, fans, even his own network. Second, he made the comments on his radio show. Pull him off that, not one of the best, most entertaining shows on television. ESPN, Freshtoid still loves you, but come on.

Freshtoid is officially TEAM TONY! FREE TONY! FREE TONY! FREE TONY! Spread the word...

Glow in the Dark Wall-Plate Inserts


The formula...WORKS! Take any normal day-to-day object, make it glow in the dark and CHA-CHING. If you don't have the capital to continuously invest in glow in the dark toilet paper (we all know how fast that stuff can go), solve the darkness problem by investing one time in the glow in the dark wall plate light switch. It charges in the day-light all day long, so it can last through those long nights when you need it the most. Get you 3-pack here for just $4.99.

Cross Sentiment Pearlescent Ivory


If you don't have a Cross pen, you should. And if you are going to get one, get one off of their newest models, so you can make all your friends jealous. Designer Charles Eames once said, "The details are not the details. They make the product" and he could not have been more right.

Anyone can wear designer jeans with a polo shirt, but you need a fresh Cross pen to really set you off. The new Cross Sentiment Pearlescent Ivory with its custom, interchangeable "charms" is not just a writing instrument, it's statement of who you are. So be someone fresh.

Bobble Water Bottle

The Bobble Water Bottle, created by designer Karim Rashid, is fresh for so many reasons. One, it eliminates the need to continually buy cases of bottled water. This is good for your planet and your wallet. Two, it filters free tap water into delicious drinking water. Three, it looks fly. Four, it's only 10 bucks here!

Glow In The Dark Toilet Paper

We've all looked for that next "get rich quick" scheme. Well Fresh Heads, we've come up with a near perfect formula for those who think big. Take an important item, then, make it glow in the dark...CHA CHING! Looks like somebody got a hold of our formula early and used it to create Glow In The Dark Toilet Paper. Now, there is no need to turn on the light while doing your business. However, we do not recommend using the restroom in dark. It could get messy... and stinky.

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's Black Widow Vehicle

We are loyal to the soil at Freshtoid. So when something big happens on California's central coast you better believe it will make it on this black and yellow blog. We proudly present, the California Polytechnic University San Luis Obispo Black Widow. This vehicle weighs 96 pounds, has 3 wheels, a 3 horsepower engine, and can travel 2,752 miles to the gallon. This whip will be entered into the Shell Eco-Marathon competition, where Cal Poly's previous Black Widow models have placed 1st or 2nd the last three years. Gooooo Mustangs!!!

Nike Human Chain Commercial

Human Chain from NikeSportswear on Vimeo.

Life is full of challenges, yeah we're talking about YOU Yakima. But it's these challenges that make us stronger, and worth 17,000+ views. BOOYAH. This Nike Human Chain commercial featuring Lance Armstrong and LaDianian Tomlinson sum all that up. Sure, we all get knocked down sometimes, but how fast are you going to get up? I'm going to stop there before I start sounding more like Confucius. I already look him...

DontEvenReply.com

DontEvenReply.com follows a guy who responds to various classified ads. He posts his hilarious email conversions on his site for all to read. According to him, his goal is to mess with them, confuse them, and/or piss them off. He does all three very well, and very often.

Andy Kurovets' G-Point Mouse



Okay, so Freshtoid has been known to provide you with freshest computer mice on the market, whether is was having a mouse with a spider in it, one shaped like a grenade or the latest in mice technology, we got you covered. This mouse, affectionately known as the G Point, is so fresh it isn't even on the market yet...and you can probably guess why. Without being too graphic (we don't want parents to have to block their kids from our site) the mouse is shaped like a...well it's pretty clear what it's shaped like. And that special button that you press to take you where you want to go...well it does the same thing on this mouse. Find out more about Andy Kurovets' innovate mouse design and when you might get your fingers on a G Point of your own here.

German Biathlon


If Freshtoid had our own TV show, it might look something like this. Well actually there would probably be a lot more Michael Jackson involved, some free stuff and some good food on our TV show, but we'd probably show this clip at some point. If the Olympics were anything like this then I don't think NBC and Vancouver would losing millions of dollars on the sporting event. Those Germans really know how to take a rather mundane sporting event to the next level. It's the type of thing where you think you know what to expect, and then you have an idea of what is going to happen but the ending is like nothing you could have ever imagined...exactly how we like to run things here at Freshtoid. Stay fresh and enjoy,

***Freshtoid Freebie*** Axe Shower Gel

Now you too can strive to be the next DPC or at least get a taste to see if the DPC lifestyle is for you, and it won't even cost you a dime. Just click here and wait for your FREE sample of Axe shower gel.

Tostitos Dipping Strips


I think we can all agree that when we think of dipping strip chips, it is awfully difficult to top Mission. But Tostitos is stepping into the strip arena and it seems they are looking to throw that Pepsico weight around. The new chips are thicker and longer than their Mission counterparts, making them perfect for those thick dips and salsas. Our Jewish Fresh Heads will be glad to know that these chips are indeed Kosher and those Fresh Heads watching their weight in 2010 will be delighted to learn they have no trans fats. The package might say ,"Dive into any Dip" but if you are looking to really take your Tostitos strips to the next level the only dip with that type of dipping power would be Tostitos Salsa Con Queso. More details on the new Tostitos Dipping Strips here.

Chat Roulette


Imagine for a moment where you could instantaneously and randomly be transported into the living room of individuals all around the world. Some just as curious as you to see what is going on, some ready to put on a show to entertain you, some playing with a dog and others engaging in activities that you would rather not be witness to. Thanks to technology, you no longer have to imagine this world.

Allow Freshtoid to introduce you to chatroulette.com. Just turn that web cam on, go to www.chatroulette.com and let the magic begin. Click "NEXT" at any time if you do not like the web cam that you have been matched with. Be warned though, the proportions of individuals on the opposite end of that web cam is roughly 75 percent frat guys with no shirt on, 10 percent looking to put on a brief show, 5 percent hot chicks, 5 percent pets and 5 percent guys jerking it. Enjoy.

King Tut's Cause of Death REVEALED


King Tut is the original Mac Daddy, the boy king that ruled Egypt around 1300 B.C. and tragically died at the age of 19. New research has finally uncovered what killed the Fresh Pharaoh and no it was not a hit from a rival gang member. In reality Tut King was afflicted with avascular bone necrosis, a condition in which poor blood supply weakens or destroys an area of bone, plus malaria (hate those damn mosquitoes) —a fatal combination. The discoveries were made after 21st Century science and DNA testing were used to investigate the cause of death and genealogy of Egypt's most famous mummies. On a side note, it turns out the pharaohs were nowhere near as feminine as they appear in all of today's recreations. More info here and be sure to check out the King Tut exhibit in San Francisco.

108,000 Fans Attend 2010 NBA All Star Game

The 2010 NBA All Star Weekend is over now, and well, the thing was DISAPPOINTING. The only highlight, ironically enough, were the number of fans in attendance... 108,000 people! This is the largest crowd EVER to watch a b-ball game. With so many people going to watch such a crappy event, Nick and I are hoping that twice as many fans come to read our mediocre blog.

The Amazing Race 16

One of our most dedicated readers asked me to put this up and since it was so damn fresh, it was a must. Season 16 of The Amazing Race premiered tonight on CBS. Just like previous seasons, the show will follow 11 teams of two on a race around the world, where the winner takes home 1 Million Dollars. For more info on the contestants, and to watch full episodes click here. Be on the lookout for your favorite Freshtoid staff members to be on The Amazing Race next season!

Happy Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year Fresh Heads or Gung Hay Fat Choy Fresh Heads! We know most of you celebrated the new year on January 1st, but we couldn't forget about those 1 billion freshtoid fans in China. This year marks the Year of the Tiger and begins today, February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011. According to MSN Astrology, the net's most trusted Asian horoscope source, this year will give those who typically hold back courage to pursue their goals, and go-getters (ie: Freshtoid) will be even more brave.

Freshtoid Goes to Pixar

The main hall at the Pixar studios, notice the Up banners hanging and if you look real close the cereal bar at the back end of the hall.

Just like the world's great nations coming together to discuss how to work together to help one another, Freshtoid likes to do the same thing with similar businesses. This week we set up a meeting with the folks over at Pixar and we could not have been happier with the results. After a discussion of previous Freshtoid-Pixar projects and laying out a calendar of when we can expect future Pixar films to be released, we were invited to take a tour of facility. We were also invited to enjoy some Italian soda (we opted for the strawberry) and offered cereal from Pixar's famous cereal bar (we took a raincheck, but will be indulging at our follow up meeting.) There were a lot of unique pieces of art from various Pixar films, primarily the newest film Up, whose models, sketches and artwork decorated most of the Pixar walls. After the tour, we arranged a second meeting at which we would be included in a pre-screening of Toy Story 3.

Having signed a nondisclosure agreement, we cannot discuss too much, but keep your eye out for some real interesting stuff from you friends at Freshtoid and Pixar.

Top 10 NBA Plays Of The First Half Of The 2010 Season

I Wear No Pants Dockers Commercial


Some would say the Letterman and Leno commercial was the best of the bunch of the Super Bowl ads, others the Green Police, but not one of them was giving anything away as sweet as a free pair of Dockers pants. It is not quite a Freshtoid Freebie, because obviously the company would go bankrupt by Freshtoid alone if we were allowed free pants. Still, the opportunity to win a free pants is as good as anything. Especially when all you have to do is fill out a quick form with your email and click for a chance to win. Granted, you might be spammed by Dockers forever, but if you are going to be spammed anyway, who better than Dockers? Just go to www.dockers.com/freepants to try your luck.

Michael Jackson Autopsy Report


It was rough on all of us when the King of Pop passed away last summer, so rough in fact that we had to take a month off. Just this week though, the Los Angeles Medical Examiner released the King's autopsy report. It was difficult to read, hearing about his wig and nose reopened the old wounds, but it seems now we can all finally reach some closure. It will still be a while as his killer's trial continues, but at least the healing process can begin.

He was the greatest entertainer of all time and no matter how many times we listen to Man in the Mirror, nothing will bring him back. Click here to read the highlights of the autopsy report, but make sure you are sitting down and have a box a tissues nearby. RIP MJ.

How To Make It In America


If you haven't heard by now, HBO is premiering their new series, How To Make It In America, this Sunday. The show follows two guys who aspire to hit it big in the super competitive New York fashion scene. Think "East coast version of Entourage." If these characters are anything like Vincent Chase and Drama, we are all in for a real treat.

We know our post got you all hot and bothered, and you can't wait to watch How To Make It In America now. Well Fresh Heads, those cool motha f*ckas at HBO have released the first episode early and for FREE on YouTube. Please let us know what you guys think of the show in the comment section. Enjoy!

Paper Apple iPad


Last month we gave you a rather boring post on the newly unveiled Apple iPad. One downfall of this product is its availability. The silly thing won't be available for purchase until late March. Well Fresh Heads, Apple Fan Boys, and pranksters, we have a post for you...

We present, the Paper Apple iPad! With this front and back template, you will be able to create your very own paper Apple iPad before anyone gets theirs. This is great for those who like to be the first to have something, or love pulling hijinks in the office. Either way, people will definately be calling you the Cat's Pajamas. That, or an a$$hole.

Turbine Light

Going green are Freshtoid's middle names (don't blame us, blame our parents), so anytime we see a great idea to help our girl Mother Earth, we post it here. One idea we really like is the Turbine Light concept. Basically, these turbines use the wind collected from cars driving by, to generate energy for the lighting along the roads. This grand idea will be presented at the Greener Gadgets Conference in New York City at the end of this month. More info on the Turbine Light after the jump.

HUPBOX v1 Clear Shoe Box





Having loads of fresh shoes is NEVER a problem. However, being able to find the exact ones you're looking for amongst identical orange Nike boxes can be difficult. The new HUPBOX v1 clear shoe box allows sneakerheads a new way to store and show off their fly kicks. The clear box should fit most shoes up to a US size 12 and is available for 40 bones at HUPBOX.com.

We Are The World Remake - 25th Anniversary


25 years after the first version of We Are the World was released to benefit the African famine relief, Lionel Ritchie and Quincy Jones will re-create that same magic with 25th Anniversary version of the song to benefit Haiti. Some huge names in this All Star cast include Wyclef Jean, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Barbara Streisand, Carlos Santana, Jamie Foxx, Vince Vaughn, Celine Dion, LL Cool J and many more. Our sources are also telling us that Michael Jackson's voice from the original will be used along with his sister Janet Jackson recording vocals as well. The world premiere of the video will air during NBC's coverage of the opening ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics on February 12th.
