Morning Brew for 12/3

I'm too cold to think of anything entertaining to start today's post, let's just get on with it.

-Media giant, Comcast, is set to purchase NBC Universal from General Electric for a whopping $37.25 billion. Some questions still need to be answered by an anti-trust regulators, and Congress still have some questions with the deal, but don't expect this one to get held up for long.

-The 2010 Grammy Nominations were announced last night during a live concert event. Beyonce and Taylor Swift led the way with 10, and 8 nominations respectively. Lady Gaga was given 5 nominations. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame snubs (thus far), Bon Jovi, were nominated for Pop Duo or Group With Vocals. Bank on it.

-The Tiger Woods story continues. According to this MSNBC report it seems Tiger and his wife Elin are receiving “intense marriage counseling”. While speculation continues to fly, there are still no solid reports saying whether or not the couple has a prenuptial agreement. Reportedly Mrs. Woods is being payed a 7-figure salary to remain as Mrs. Woods. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

-This is nice. A 72-year old Wal-Mart greeter just outside of Pittsburgh, was punched in the face by a 55-year old. According to the story the attack appeared to be unprovoked. You stay classy Pennslyvanaia.

-Big props to the New Jersey Nets as they set the record for the worst start in NBA history last night, losing to the Mavs 117-101. I'm sure the Russian Billionaire who is set to purchase the club is thrilled with his potential investment.

Pretty slow day for links today. As the day goes on I will try and get some good ones to post on the Twitter Account. As always you can follow us on Twitter, and also see what gets posted on the right side of this page.

Oh! He Threw Your Dance Move In The Stands!

Make sure you check out around the 1:18 mark. Listen to Gary Payton, still live TV my friend, still live TV.

TGIF

-Lots of different stories coming out on Alex Rodgriguez. Reports are that he has a torn labrum in his hip as well as the previously reported cyst. If A-Rod decides to have surgery he could be out anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks. Good news for Yankees fans, Cody Ransom hit .302 last season. Oh wait... What's that? He only had 43 AB's. My bad.

-Is there a better sports show on TV than Inside the NBA? The answer to that question is no. Need further proof? Check out this clip from last night's episode.

-Only two games last night in the Association. Carmelo Anthony had 38 points in his return from a one game suspension to lead Denver past the Trail Blazers in a match up of Northwest Divison rivals. Chris Paul had a big night leading his Hornets past the Mavs in the Big Easy.

-Tom Verducci with Sports Illustrated has given us 10 Reasons Why The WBC Matters. Great article, and I can't wait to watch Team USA play this spring.

-And now some sad news. It appears that Lauren Conrad will be leaving The Hills. I know, I know, it may take some time for all of us to get over that....... Excuse me? Oh, you're already over it. Again, that's my bad.
