Super Bowl LVI is causing scammers and sketchy sites to flood the Internet, trolling for footballs fans who can bet online for the first time on a major sports event....
Donald Trump got the Jim Carrey treatment, again. The comedian created another caricature of the president to protest the National Football League’s (NFL) new policy to ban kneeling during the pre-game national anthem. Players can choose to stay in the locker room instead. The policy has been widely criticized by players and others....
The National Football League (NFL), hoped to put to rest the controversy over kneeling players, by ginning up a new rule that would fine teams and those who kneel during the pre-game National Anthem. The NFL did just the opposite. The league showed total ignorance about what really makes this country great, subverting Democracy in the process. The move is clearly meant to placate Donald Trump, who blew up the issue into a national brouhaha with his misguided criticism of the players....
Tom Brady will be starting quarterback when the New England Patriots kick off their season next week, thanks to a court reversal of his four-game suspension. His fans are happy, and secretly, the NFL may be, too. The National Football League took a stand on integrity when it suspended Brady for his role in “Deflategate.” But the move came at the expense of its pocketbook....
Tom Brady has taken a beating over his balls and they were clearly in a bunch today (July 29). The New England Patriots quarterback lashed out at the NFL over his four-game suspension, insisting he had no role in what’s become known as “Deflategate.” The Patriots easily defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7, in the AFC Championship game in January and went on to win Super Bowl XLIX over the Seattle Seahawks....
Rihanna was pissed that CBS cut her performance from “Thursday Night Football” because of her link to a domestic violence incident and rightly so. But the network took an even more vindictive turn by banning her. Rihanna had taped an introductory performance for the game, but CBS decided at the last minute to cut it, because of the Ray Rice domestic violence incident. The network reportedly thought having Rihanna on the show did not set an “appropriate tone” because she, too, had been involved in an incident of domestic violence. ...
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has a gold plated resume that includes Harvard and other Ivy League schools, has come under fire from critics for his increasingly bizarre endorsements that fly in the face of known medical science. Is he really a quack? Oz may fall into the trap of being well-educated, but lacking common sense, after his latest endorsement of pro football as a character building experience for teens. ...
Naya Rivera, the sassy singer and cheerleader on Fox’s hit show “Glee,” couldn’t ask for a spicier love life. She kissed singer Demi Lovato, her new Glee love interest on last night’s episode and also announced her engagement to rapper Big Sean. Rivera showed off her engagement ring at Latina magazine’s “Hollywood Hot List Party” at The Redbury Hotel in Hollywood....
The National Football League vehemently denies it deliberately hid evidence of the link between football-related concussions and long-term brain damage. “The NFL has long made player safety a priority and continues to do so,” the league said in a statement on June 7, 2012....
Gisele Bundchen, wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, offered her own post-Super Bowl analysis after the Patriots lost to the New York Giants. Tom’s teammates won’t be happy. The supermodel must be one tough cookie. The fashion industry is a tough business, and Gisele didn’t get to the top by being nice. Her post-game analysis was tough but probably on the money....
While Madonna was bumping and grinding during her song “Give Me All Your Luvin’, rapper M.I.A. was putting on her own show. She gave the camera the finger, in effect flipping off 100 million people watching from home. Some reports claimed that she also uttered an expletive, but it could not be immediately confirmed. NBC immediately issued profuse apologies for the what it called a “spontaneous gesture.”...
