Well it’s finally here, and you couldn’t have picked a better match up — except for the fact that this is the exact match up every analyst picked at the beginning of the season. But, again, this is a good thing. These were the best two teams throughout the year, and here we are. It rarely happens this perfectly, especially in football these days as injuries have been mounting up to ridiculous degrees. The story lines are clear: Peyton’s legacy, and the “team-first” nature of the Seahawks and their young quarterback. Are these the actual game story lines though? We’ll see. Read more

Many people try to nail “Girls†as some kind of voice of Millennials — particularly, female Millennials.

Fox Sports has announced it will stream live all of its coverage from Super Bowl 48 next Sunday. The move is being characterized as the Fox network showcaing it’s online and mobile authenticating services.

Troubling developments within Brazilian construction of one of the major stadiums for the 2014 FIFA World Cup have led to doubts over whether or not the stadium will be ready in time to fulfill it’s duties. The Arena da Baixada in Curtiba, Brazil is well behind schedule and has suffered multiple issues since building began.
Several teams scheduled to play in the stadiums (most World Cup-hosting nations have multiple venues with different teams playing in different areas of the country), including #1 world-ranked Spain, might be in jeopardy of having their schedules changed — disrupting their preparation and basic comforts at the very least.

Oh, Ray … the realization that you’re too old for/uninterested in the party you’re attending. We’ve all been there and if we haven’t been there yet, it will happen. Sometimes this realization happens at parties where music is blasting and the TV is on mute. Sometimes it’s at a crappy bar where they stop the amazing Smashing Pumpkins “Today†for that “piece of shit†LMFAO song. I feel you, Ray. NO ONE turns off Smashing Pumpkins. Read more
