Vikings vs Saints, Thursday Night Schedule

Regular season football is here, and the NFL has set up a fantastic opener game in which we will see the Vikings go against the Saints. The match is scheduled to take part at the Super Dome in New Orleans.

The Minnesota Vikings will be playing with some of the players out due to injuries.  Among them are top WR Sidney Rice (who is in a 2-month recovery period after hip surgery) and Percy Halvin (who had problems with migraine headaches).
Brett Fare on the other hand has said that the Saints should be the favorites to win this opening game:
“Yeah, you know, I would have to give the edge to the Saints, first of all, as far as first game, where are you from a team standpoint overall as far as chemistry and things of that nature,”
Well let’s hope the New Orleans Saints aren’t suffering from the dreaded Super Bowl hangover!

Lina Morgana (PHOTOS) Lady Gaga Controversy

Lady Gaga is being accused by Yana Morgana of stealing the “dark side” of her daughter, singer Lina Morgana, who committed suicide in 2008 by jumping from Staten Island hotel.   The mother claims that Lady Gaga collaborated with her daughter before she became a pop icon.

Yana Morgana assures Gaga stole the “dark side” which was present in her daughter and has acquired it as her own. She goes as far as claiming that Gaga is holding on to Lina’s soul, who passed away when she was just 19.

In an interview with the New York Post, the mother says:
“I’m doing this because I want to keep her spirit alive. Lady Gaga is holding Lina’s soul, and I want her soul to be free.”
Yana also adds that the Gaga of that era didn’t wear the kind of clothes she now shows everywhere, including lingerie and wigs. But she has now embraced the style of Lina to become famous.  The woman is not seeking money or to sue Gaga, but only wants the music of her daughter to be known.
Here are a couple of songs by Lina Morgana.  What do you think?

“We have seen the news reports and are urgently seeking further information,” the hikers’ mothers said in a statement posted on Facebook “We hope and pray that the reports are true and that this signals the end of all three of our children’s long and difficult detention. Shane, Sarah and Josh are all innocent and we continue to call for their immediate release, so that they can return home together and be reunited with our families.”

reggie bush scandal

As predicted in this space what's called The Reggie Bush Scandal is now number one on Google Trends (boy, this blogger's good).

If you're not familiar with what went down (a little term to annoy PB), briefly, Reggie Bush was accused of taking gifts and receiving benefits in conjunction with his role as a running back at USC. He won The Heisman Trophy in 2005.

Now, after its own investigation, separate from the NCAA look, The Heisman Trust has, for the first time in history, asked for its trophy to be returned.

Now, everyone from The LA Times micro-blog on Bush (just to be in on Google Trends, nothing more) to Babble's Famecrawler has something to say about this.

Everyone except you, that is.

If you were Reggie Bush, what would you do in response to the news that The Heisman Trust had asked for your hard-earned Heisman Trophy back? Consider, the Heisman's own investigation said Bush received gifts and benefits. But none of them impacted his on-the-field performance that won him the 2005 Heisman.

This blogger says Bush should appeal the decision. Too many college football players are used for revenue-generation, then forgotten. Bush should take a stand. But that's me.

What say you?
