Vin Diesel Sings “Stay” (Originally by Rihanna)
Look at that intensity! It’s official (I’ve known for a while, however) Vin Diesel is a triple threat! He can act, sing, and drive fast cars (who needs to dance when you can drive cars off cliffs)

SWEET SUGAR: The NFL and Google are About to Have a Love Child
In the least surprising news of the week, as DirecTV’s rights to the vaunted NFL Sunday Ticket package come close to their 2014 expiration date, rumors of who else may bid for them are starting and Google is right at the top. According toAllThingsD, league officials met with the internet giant today and among many topics, the package of rights to air all of the league’s games to out of market viewers came up. As suggested, the folks in Mountain View (and several other companies we can all think of) can certainly afford the reported $1 billion DirecTV has been paying — and YouTube has already shelled out to stream sports in the USand around the world — but whether or not the NFL would actually sell to them is still in question. -Engadget
From what I am reading on the matter, this is a bit of a long shot. It seems that the NFL will again renew its contract with the satellite company DirectTV in 2014. But imagine, just imagine, what watching the NFL would be like under Google’s control? I’m talking streaming from YouTube, tablets, smartphones, and any other device that can get its grubby little antenna on the internet. This would be a total game changer for the NFL and America. More people around the US would see the games they wanted to see, and for me that means watching my Bucs from RI! Like I said, don’t get your hopes up, because they are probably renewing with DirectTV, but you never know, Google has surprised us before.

The Moto X is Not Your Tech Geeks Phone
At first I could not understand the buzz surrounding the new Moto X phone by Motorola and Google (This being their first phone since Google bought Motorola). With the screen size being only 4.7″ (same as my Nexus 4) embedded with a 720p display, the Moto X does not surprise with its display qualities. Pair that along with mid-range internals and some snappy color options you are left with a phone that isn’t really the leader of any category.
After watching some review videos and studying their [Google’s] marketing plan I have figured out that this phone doesn’t appeal to me, or my other tech geek friends, simply because it isn’t made to appeal to us. This phone is meant to appeal to the masses, and in that respect I think Google and Motorola have hit the nail on the head.

Beyonce Debuts Short Hair. In Other News, I Want To Bang Beyonce
Beyonce, this hair cut does it for me in all the right places. Short hair on a woman is a thin line (or hair) that needs to be straddled carefully, but Beyonce, you did it! Looking like an absolute smoke show.
Now lets take a look at other women that pull of the short hair look.

Take My Money – Lego Edition
I haven’t played with legos since I was probably 12, but Lego just made a strong business move that might make me throw my hat back in the Lego ring. Lego just released new Back To The Future sets, starring the, one-and-only, time traveling DeLorean that we all have grown to love. Did I mention it comes with Doc Brown and Marty McFly mini figs?!
