Usher Playing Ping Pong In The Middle Of Sixth Avenue During Rush Hour Was A Straight Up Dickhead Move

I can’t explain how much I hate people stopping traffic for no good reason. I hated it when Victor Cruz did it last summer and I hate it now. Driving in the city is enough of a pain in the dick when roads aren’t shut down for real reasons. But to fuck up traffic to play ping pong is a bunch of goddamn malarkey. Especially for a guy that hasn’t had a hit or played in the NFL for years. Don’t get me wrong I love U-S-H-E-R, R-A-Y-M-O-N-D as much, if not more, than most. I firmly believe that “My Way” was one of the best songs of the 90s. Same for “Yeah” in the 2000s. And “My Boo” remains criminally underrated. But this is a dickhead move for 99.9999% of the world. If someone like Odell Beckham or Kanye pulled it, I could live with it. Because those guys are on top of the world right now. But Usher turning my commute into a nightmare is such an unnecessary “look at me and don’t forget that I’m still alive” move. Why can’t he just count his Bieber money in the Caribbean instead of playing a ping pong + Frogger hybrid in Manhattan rush hour traffic as I hope him or his opponent gets clipped by a cab?

And since we are talking about ping pong, having to wait to get on the ping pong table was the worrrrrst as a kid. Sure you could watch a good match in the meantime, but it absolutely sucked waiting to get on the table. The same thinking goes into why I like flip cup more than beer pong. The more people involved the better. Plus you drink more and girls loved playing it. Beer pong is a gentleman’s game, flip cup is a party game. And playing ping pong in the middle of a Manhattan street during rush house is a dickhead game.
