Peyton Manning will announce his retirement by the end of the week

2/29/2016

Peyton Manning is finally hanging up his cleats and riding into the sunset.

According to two sources Manning will officially announce his retirement by the end of this week. The sources also stated that Manning is leaving the Broncos and he does not plan on signing with another team (Sorry LA Rams).

Either way, John Elway finally succeeded in bringing a Lombardi back to Denver and gave Peyton one last rodeo with one of the best defenses of this decade. Just like Elway (38), Manning (39) is the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and bring fame and fortune to Colorado.

In spite of that, there are new NFL regulations these days. Manning only had a month after the Super Bowl to deliberate his retirement but he already told Bill Belichick, close family, and friends that this will be his last rodeo.

Do you believe in Miracles?

2/19/2016

I know, I know, another article about a historic event, but hey its almost been 37 years since the United States smacked around the USSR in Lake Placid. Coach Herb Brooks and his squad were sensational enough on February 22, 1980 to beat the defending champion USSR team and earn a shot to win a gold medal. On top of that, they even decided to make a movie out of it which is one of my all time favorites. I get to watch it again, and again, and again, and again (you'll understand my humor if you actually decided to watch the movie and have feel good moment except when the entire team is puking during suicides but that is totally behind the point). Herb Brooks and his crazy conditioning methods remind me of the good old days, except I can barely skate on ice let alone run the length of the floor several times. Also, Al Michaels had one of the best one piece suits in the business during that game, I'm not entirely sure what NBC was thinking but hey they attracted tons of viewers.

Al looks suave don't you think? But hey it was the 1980s and blue sweaters with black lining were in style, especially in upstate New York. Either way we will never forget Miracle, and Al Michael's crazy looking sweater, on Ice for all of its glory and celebration.

Weed Can Save the NFL and it's Concussion Problem

2/18/2016

The NFL has survived a ton public relations crises in the past year including, but not limited to, Deflategate. In spite of that, the NFL's largest problem is still concussions and the prevalence of CTE. CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy has affected more than 100 former NFL players over the past 10 years and this problem will only continue to grow unless the NFL makes significant changes. To make things worse, a study at Boston University found the existence of CTE in 96% of 91 test subjects all of whom played football at an organized level. That is astounding to say the least but there is a possible cure, weed.
A year ago, Lester Grinspoon a Harvard Professor, found that THC (Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabidol) receptors in the brain are involved in the healing process of a brain injury. Furthermore a study at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center found that patients with more THC in their system were less likely to die of brain injuries. This is good news for the NFL too say the least but there is still more research to be done.

Peyton Manning Sexually Assualted Dr. Jamie Naughtright at University of Tennessee in 1994

2/13/2016

Peyton Manning is a liar. Nearly 13 years ago USA Today received documents regarding Peyton and Archie Manning that revealed allegations of a sexual assault scandal, cover up, and smear campaign of a victim. If Manning's story was released at that time his "professional, I can do no wrong image" would be smeared forever. To make things worse, the girl that Peyton assaulted was an esteemed professional at the University of Tennessee. She was also the Director of Health and Wellness for the Men's Athletic Program. Her name was Dr. Jamie Naughright and she earned a B.A. from the University of Tennessee in Exercise Physiology with a minor in Football Coaching. More importantly, Naughtright was part of the Men's Football team from 1996-1998 when they were at their peak.

Naughtright was one of the first women to work for the Men's Football Program and when she and Manning had an "altercation" Manning became furious towards her. "On Feb. 29 of that year, Naughright, at that point the university's director of health and wellness, was in a training room, examining what she thought might be a possible stress fracture in Manning's foot. At 6 feet, 5 inches, his feet dangled off the edge of the table. Manning allegedly then proceeded to scoot down the training table while Naughright examined his foot. At that point, she said, he forcefully maneuvered his naked testicles and rectum directly on her face with his penis on top of her head. Shocked, disgusted, and offended, Naughright pushed Manning away, removing her head out from under him (see pages 14-15). Within hours, she reported the incident to the Sexual Assault Crisis Center in Knoxville" (New York Daily News).

At that time Peyton was going for the Heisman and his reputation could not be tarnished but Malcolm Saxon, Peyton's Lawyer told him to come clean, but he didn't. Instead of punishing Manning Naughtright was asked to leave UT but in 2001 she received a letter from Manning marked "Dr. Vulgar Mouth Whited". Naughtright later sued Manning and during the trial he came up with yet another lie out of thin air. Four UT students testified that Naughtright never said anything vulgar. Manning even stated that "I have never approved of Jamie's vulgar language. It has always been my opinion, along with the majority of the team, that Jamie wants to be one of the guys." He also said that,"she's kind of trashy," and "had the most vulgar mouth of any girl he'd ever seen" and "was unattractive but had big breasts" and had "been out with a bunch of black guys" and "had a toilet mouth." Peyton has never truly paid for this and he should, despite the fact that he will be retiring. Peyton Manning is no Golden Boy, in fact he is the exact opposite.

Beyonce's Controversial 'Formation' at Super Bowl 50 has led to protests at NFL offices in NYC

Beyonce pays tribute to Black Panthers and releases political statement at Super Bowl 50

2/9/2016

Beyonce may have just made one of the most endearing political statements during her 20 year career when she stepped into Levi's Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday.
Beyonce and her backup dancers wore black leather suits along with black berets, which were similar to the berets worn in Black Panther movement. Just a bit of historical context: The Black Panthers were an organization created in the early 60s by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. The organization promoted militant self defense of minority communities against the U.S. government and fought to establish socialism.
Towards the end of the show Beyonce payed tribute to Malcolm X when the dancers formed an X at midfield.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party.

The Dab Contest: Peyton vs. Cam

2/6/2016

So it has come to my attention that the Dab is the next best touchdown dance in the NFL thanks to Cam "Superman" Newton. At least he showed that you can shake your groove thing and have some fun while obliterating the competition. Peyton, on the other hand, has had some trouble with his dab. He looks like a midwestern cowboy who had too much to drink at the saloon. Either way, the dab is on, not the Super Bowl, that comes second. The Dab Contest or Bowl is the most sporting event in history and it will take place after the Super Bowl on Dancing with Stars or as I like to call it, Dancing with Cam and some guy who has no idea how to shake his groove thing. Peyton better put is tutu and his dancing shoes on for this event, it may be the first one during his retirement.

BREAKING NEWS: The 2016 Rio Olympics Might be Cancelled due to Zika Outbreak

2/4/2016

BREAKING NEWS: The 2016 Rio Summer Olympics may be postponed or cancelled in the next three to six months depending on the severity of the Zika virus in South America. The virus has affected nearly 1.6 million people around the world and 1.5 million are from Brazil.
The Zika virus is primarily spread through mosquito bites and the most common symptoms are fevers, rashes, joint pains, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The virus can also be spread through intercourse but the common symptoms are the least of the International Olympic Committees (IOC) worries. According to several sources, women who are pregnant or impregnated at the Olympics and contract the virus will be risking the lives of their unborn children. The Zika virus is known to have several birth defects, which can be harmful and sometimes deadly to newborn children but that’s not all.
According to the Center for Disease Control the virus has made landfall in Texas after a patient had sex with an individual who had recently returned from Venezuela. This is the first known case of the virus on American soil but their will, without a doubt be more because currently there is no cure for the virus. The CDC said that it would provide more information about the transmission of the virus as soon as it is learned, which we can only hope is relatively soon.
