Morning Brew for 12/17

JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE! JERSEY SHORE!
Oh, by the way today is Thursday, which means a new episode of Jersey Shore tonight on MTV.

-Just a day after Tiger Woods received some good news by being named the AP's Athlete of the Decade, a report has surfaced that Tiger's wife, Elin, is seeking a divorce from the golf superstar. The move can't really be questioned by anyone with a brain after the allegations that have come against Woods in the past few weeks, but the big question now is, how much will Elin get in the settlement?

-Some tragic news this morning from the NFL. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, Chris Henry has died following an accident in Charlotte. The troubled wide out who attended West Virginia University was involved in an apparent domestic dispute with his fiancee, and fell out of the back of a pickup truck that she was driving. Henry had been arrested 5 times after being drafted in 2005, but had seemingly turned the corner before this tragic accident. While homicide detectives have been assigned to this case, no arrests have been made.

-In a post that is clearly directed towards my wife, John Krasinski sat down with the USA Today to discuss his role in the new movie It's Complicated which co-stars Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin. Vegas has placed the odds at 3 to 2 that the picture on this article will be my wife's new background on her computer.

-People Magazine's issue that is set to hit newsstands tomorrow, will feature its 25 Most Intriguing People of 2009. Notables that are going to be featured on the list are Taylor Swift, Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Kate Gosselin, and of course the Kardashian sisters.

-I will finish out today's post with a hilarious clip from The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you, The Mormon Christmas Song!

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.

Morning Brew for 11/12

This just continues to depress me. I feel like a Republican when Sarah Palin was named VP Candidate. Not good times.

-Sometimes things are just meant to be. This story absolutely proves that. A man was about to propose to his girlfriend on a hot air balloon when he dropped the ring over the side of the basket to the forest floor 500 feet below. What happened next could only mean that this couple is meant for each other.

-Over the past couple of days I have posted videos of violence in woman's soccer, including the top moment in the history of The Mountain Sports Channel, the incident between a New Mexico and BYU soccer player. Well Christine Brennan had a chance to sit down with New Mexico head coach Kit Vela, to discuss what transpired. While I am not quite a soccer expert, some of the tackles that Elizabeth Lambert made were not exactly in "the flow of the game", sorry coach but you're not even close to right on this one.

-Lou Dobbs, who was the last of the original CNN anchors still at the news network, has left CNN. While CNN President, Jonathan Kline, called the split "totally amicable", one would think that the fact that Fox News Corp's Shepard Smith pulling in nearly 2 million more viewers at the same time slot might have had something to do with it. It was also just announced that John King will take over for Dobbs starting next year.

-Randy Lewis of the LA Times had a chance to catch up with Taylor Swift after the singer captured 4 CMA Awards last night in Nashville, including Entertainer of the Year. Pretty refreshing to read just how genuinely happy she is to win these awards.

-Speaking of refreshing, how about Chicago Tribune columnist, Rick Morrissey literally eating his own words? Morrissey wrote a column back in 2007 about Joakim Noah, and how he thought he would be a bust in the NBA. Well, now that Noah is averaging a double-double, (not the hamburger)he has decided to own up to a promise he made to his readers. The video is about 6 minutes long, but I highly recommend checking out the last 90 seconds or so to watch Noah jumping around, and also telling him to "roll it up", probably not the first time Joakim has said that before.
