while we here in Houston celebrate the coming of our two months of cool weather, the rest of the country actually celebrates this thing called “seasons”….that’s right….they actually have four separate temperaments per year….I know…crazy right? Anyhow, I’m going to attempt to bring you some of the better lines and releases in the skateboarding shoe industry in the upcoming weeks….seeing as how Fall and Winter/Holiday releases and colorways are notoriously effing awesome. First up, we have Adidas…..

Houston Sports Rapp 09-05-09 Interview with Ben Baller…

Since we were cut short by the Oklahoma ass whoopin at the hands of the fighting mormons, the show was unfortunately not all that great, but we did have this epic interview with Ben Baller brought to us by Kadoma of The H-town Sneaker Summit. If you know anything about the sneaker game, you know this guy. 1/3 of the infamous “Air Mack” sneaker collector crew…which includes DJ Homicide, the late DJ AM, and himself. Originally a DJ, he hustled his way through the record industry ranks, and on into the jewelry business, building business bridges the whole way. He joined us for a few minutes from Miami to talk about his good friend, the late DJ AM (Adam Goldstein).

The second half of the show was spent recapping the Mug Awards, as well as actually talking sports! I know….CRAZY RIGHT? We had a die hard Travis Johnson fan named “Robert” call in, and when I researched the Travis Johnson Fan Club, I managed to snag this pic off the interwebs of somebody known only as “Robert”. Not real sure if its the same guy, but who really cares anyhow right?

Show opened with a “BANG”….literally, as Jennifer Scott aka “The Girl Who Killed Ken Hoffman” calls in to recap the now infamous Mug Awards bout as well as taking us through her everyday life, her history, and future in the sport of Boxing. Kadoma actually gets in before the last hour to deliver our “Sneak of the Week” as well.

Well, as football season quickly approaches, why not jump into some NFL, and UFL talk with our special weekly guest Femi Ayanbadejo, former NFL player and current UFL California Redwoods player. We then jump into a lil local talent as the homies “Check Other” fell through for some insane sports related freestyle, and possibly the sickest football related verse I’ve ever heard. I’m sure you will agree.

Check the first verse, its a beast.

Then, to finish off the night, we ofcourse get into the Sneaker Hour with special guest Ray Yip from the brand new SneakerListing.com site, to talk a lil about the release of the site and what it’s all about. Finally Kadoma calls in live from Las Vegas to give us the Sneak of the Week.
