I’m not trying to write this much about Macklemore, stories just keep happening. The guy is set to headline the Preakness with Pitbull this weekend and hung out onstage with the Oregon Duck LAST weekend. In two weekends he’ll be dating Kate Upton and winning a Most Beautiful Surfing Dog contest or whatever and we’ll never be rid of him.

Anyway, the reason we’re talking about him today is because he’s a loyal resident of Seattle, Washington, and as such, that makes him disdainful of the fine men and women of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Something about a pro basketball team being torn away moments before they became championship contenders, who can say for sure? So what happens when the NEW Sonics try to use the hit song of a guy who loves the OLD Sonics as their pre-game hype music?

I guess the Oregon Ducks have always been pretty weird. They were the first team on the ‘Gangnam Style’ parody video bandwagon, they promote via Ferris Bueller homage and their fans are prone to emotional breakdowns.

But yeah, now they’re auctioning off a 1973 Oregon Ducks Volkswagen Bug for $2500, if you’re the kind of fan who wants to pay nearly three-grand for a car that doesn’t run and looks like an enormous football helmet.

The skinny:

A staple at Autzen Stadium for years, now is your chance to own this one of a kind 1973 VW Bug with an Oregon football helmet on top and CD player inside. Imagine parking this at your tailgate on gameday or bringing it to special events. The helmet is green with a yellow “O” and the Oregon license plate on this unique car is “QB” and registration expires 10/03/13. The seats inside are designed to look like a football with laces and Nike Swoosh.

It has a 1641 CC dual port motor w/ 4 speed stick shift. NOT CURRENTLY IN RUNNING CONDITION.

Disclaimer: This car is currently for display purposes only as it currently does not operate and it has not been driven on roads. The item will need to be picked up from the University of Oregon athletic department. Winning bid is responsible for pick up within 2 weeks!

brb, I’m imagining what it’d be like to to park this at my tailgate. Yep, it’s a car that looks like a football helmet, so … a regular tailgate, and now strangers bother me about it the entire time? Good deal.

If that’s not enough to substantiate the oddness, here’s a clip of rapper Macklemore praising Eugene, Oregon at a concert (complete with fans doing all sorts of hilarious JEAAAAHHH reactions), then performing his hit ‘Thrift Shop’ alongside the Oregon Duck. Yep.

"Please, throw Bud Light responsibly."

If you thought the strange feud between Lil Wayne and the Miami Heat was over – you know, because Weezy is cool with LeBron James’ mom and all – you were dead wrong, because Miami’s homegrown rappers have been stepping up to call out Wayne for dissing the 305. It started with Unkle Luke reminding Lil Wayne that he’s the unofficial mayor of Miami, and now everyone’s favorite product pitchman and the possible result of a threeway involving Luke and Jon Secada, Pitbull, has released his own diss track directed at Weezy. Ladies and gentlemen, hip hop in 2013.

But before Lil Wayne can retaliate with his own diss track or by possibly giving him scurvy, Pitbull has to fulfill his latest obligation of headlining the 2013 Preakness InfieldFest on May 18 at the Pimlico Race Track in Baltimore. Because when you think horse racing, you think drinking Dr. Pepper under a freeway. No beef, though, because the Preakness folks just want to fist pump their Bud Light Limes and have a real good time.
