Finally, some good ol' fashioned smashmouth football.
The sport of football seems to have been getting softer and softer, year after year. However, in this topsy-turvy NFL season, especially in the last two weeks, we have seen some fights that are hockyesque.
Ben Roethlisberger is not the most well-liked quarterback in the league. But even he had to be caught off guard when Richard Seymour knocked him plain out right in front of the Pittsburgh faithful at Heinz Field.
Even in a year when Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Eminem and even the Black Eyed Peas have dropped new albums, Nicki Minaj has quickly and quietly become one of the best female hip-hop MCs and her album is one of the most anticipated albums of 2010.
The Arcade Fire have released a video for their second single, The Suburbs. The video was directed by Spike Jonze, who directed Where The Wild Things Are and was involved in many other projects as a writer or producer including Being John Malkovich and countless music videos. He also is a co-creator of the famed TV show Jackass.
For the second time in the last two months, the media is reporting that famed NHL coach Pat Burns has succumbed to cancer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are no journalistic mistakes this time. The New Jersey Devils website released a statement saying that Burns had died after a courageous battle with cancer.
If it weren't for a certain Mr. Mathers or Mr. West, Cudi's 'Man on the Moon Part 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager' would be the most anticipated hip-hop album of the year. But Cudi has been able to slide under the radar and that's probably a good thing. The pressure other artists must deal with to continue or even expand on their greatness fascinates me.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay easily won the NL Cy Young award today. He becomes one of only five players to win the award in both the American and National leagues.
At this point last season, Donovan McNabb was the unquestioned starter in Philadelphia, and Michael Vick was viewed as more of a gimmick than anything else.
