Poor, Poor Dallas

Vick scores, but not in the Super Bowl 

After a terrible half time performance by the Black Eyed Peas, fans without seats, and ice falling from the top of the stadium pre game time. Currently, the Mayor of Dallas, Dwaine Caraway, is under fire for giving Michael Vick the key to the city.

Caraway insists he gave Vick the key "for the kids".  He seems to think that Vick has completely turned his life around and can now serve as a role model to kids by telling his story.

Last time I checked it did not seem like a great idea to promote violence to young children. Although this is a "this is what NOT to do" kind of situation, it still doesn't sound like the proper way to teach children. How many kids are truly interested in dog fights at age 8?

Caraway defends his decision further by making a note that Gene Simmons got a key to the city recently for supporting the troops. However, supporting the troops and exposing young minds to dog fights are much different platforms.

Now, there are angry fans, angry members of PETA, and corrupted children...

Following the heat from the Super Bowl, it was just poorly timed.

Sorry, Dallas.

Pittsburgh Steelers, not the favored team

I don't really know much about NFL football unless it relates to the Saints, the Jets, or the Giants. I'm really more of a college sports girl. When it comes down to making predictions about the winners of this year's Super Bowl my best prediction would side with which team's colors I like more.

Since I knew that wouldn't be a wise idea I turned to my friend, Google.com, to see what other more knowledgeable sources had to say about the upcoming matchup.

I came across betting websites, bloggers, and newspaper articles most of which favor the Green Bay Packers. Bloggers believe the Packers' offense will most likely overcome the Steelers' defense for the win. The strongest advocates for the Packers believe their defense will ultimately work in their favor.

Some bloggers chose the Packers for the mere fact that they are tired of seeing the Steelers win the title.

Although I am not a huge NFL buff, I know that historically speaking Super Bowl games aren't usually too exciting. However, sports bloggers are predicting extremely close scores.

Personally, I am most excited for the commercials. They have been less than impressive over the past few years. I can think back to the Britney Spears Pepsi commercial as the most memorable of the recent years.
Unfortunately, I didn't really see the Betty White Snickers commercial until after the Super Bowl. I am a huge Betty White fan. We shall see this year whether it is Kim Kardashian or the Doritos licker who results as the fan favorite.

Grab your friends, your nachos and don't forget the wings and get ready for what sounds like a good match up and some interesting entertainment!

I think the Stork got lost...

 "So Dad, what happens when I get into college?"

 

I am interning in the city this semester at the Wendy Williams show. My commute requires me to take a 5:36 a.m. train on Tuesday mornings. In my greatest efforts to avoid the looney tunes morning travelers, I use this time to catch up on news of all sorts.

On my way into New York City yesterday I found myself on Popeater.com, a popular celebrity gossip website. The latest and greatest news as of 5:30 in the morning included Diddy's most recent stunt. 

The rapper/producer/actor has really outdone himself this time. His son made the honor roll at school and instead of a high five or a new pair of sneakers he rewarded 17 year old Justin with a brand new Mercedes Maybach limousine.


It's not like Justin didn't get the car version for his 16th birthday...


First, with a giant bash on MTV's my Super Sweet 16 and now a brand new limousine?
Sometimes I really feel like the stork got lost when I was born.
