Albert Haynesworth Traded To The Patriots

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots may have just made a splash. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Washington Redskins traded DT Albert Haynesworth to Belichick's Patriots for the whopping price of a...2013 fifth round pick.We'll see how it works out. Here are four thoughts on the Haynesworth trade.-Our Pats blog makes a good point: A 2013 fifth rounder is equivalent to a 2012 sixth rounder which is equivalent to a 2011 seventh rounder. Peanuts.-He's only going to make $5 million this season.-I thought Haynesworth hated playing in the 3-4? Last year he wouldn't even line up at the nose so Belichick has some work in front of him but he must feel comfortable with Haynesworth (or agent Chad Speck must've done a hell of a recruiting job for Belichick to buy in). Also, keep in mind:...

David Beckham Scores Incredible Goal Off Corner Kick In Galaxy-Fire Game

David Beckham had quite the eventful weekend. One night before his wife Victoria gave birth to a baby girl, the soccer star recorded an assist and a very impressive game-winning goal against the Chicago Fire on Saturday. Landon Donovan scored early in the second half off Beckham's assist and Chicago quickly tied the game after Cristian Nazarith's goal. Four minutes later, Beckham scored an incredible goal off a corner kick. The ball somehow didn't touch anyone, bounced through the goalkeeper's legs and into the net. The Galaxy went on to win 2...

NCAA Football 12’s Ultimate Conference Call

In NCAA Football 12 players have an extraordinary amount of control over the college football landscape. Many diehards and purists have pursed their lips and grumbled over a wave conference realignments that forsake traditions and regional sensibilities for television contracts. NCAA 12 is their chance to put things right in the world. Their world.Under previous versions you could swap conference memberships but the size of their ranks could neither increase nor decrease. Now, you may expand or shrink conferences anywhere from 16 to four members. You may not delete or rename conferences or give them new logos. Theoretically, I think, you could...

chord overstreet

ews.Bad news first, obviously. Chord Overstreet's option to stay with the show as a series regular has not been picked up. As TVLine was first to report, there is a chance that Overstreet could return on a guest-star basis. Overstreet expressed rather cryptic disappointment on Friday afternoon when he tweeted, "well its been a good yr too bad its over, time for summer and starting fresh."Luckily, Overstreet won't be twiddling his thumbs for long. Once he finishes up the "Glee" tour, he's gung-ho to start working on his solo album.We have to admit, we're pretty bummed about this news. Overstreet's character was frequently comedic relief, but Sam...

HOW TO BUY... Roxy Music And Family

Releasing their debut, self-titled LP in June 1972 - about a week after Bowie's ...Ziggy Stardust... came out - Roxy Music would open the brains of Morrissey, Madness, Depeche Mode and more with their pop-experimental sophistication and stylish visuals.They'd carry on as a recording entity for another eleven years, making another seven albums; but which of them do you need?

Boxing Notebook: More Mayweather, Showtime, Tyson, and Miguel Cotto

So Floyd Maywether Jr. at the Los Angeles press conference to promote his fight with WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz topped what he said about Manny Pacquiao the day before in New York City. He called out Pacquiao and said, “Victor will be now, then Pacquiao is next.”Mayweather definitely upstaged and out-performed himself from the day before. The steroid testing issue is over and supposedly passed on. Now it is about Mayweather and Ortiz, and hopefully Pacquiao after that. But as stated here previously, Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum may have the final say. And until then, who is to know where Mayweather stands after the Ortiz fight.Again Mayweather catered to his many fans, as he did in New York signing as many autographs as he could outside the Staples Center. It is part of the Floyd...

The Toaster, A Crispy Bread Mosaic Made From 3,053 Pieces of Toast

Swedish husband and wife team, artists Gustavo Aguerre and Ingrid Falk created The Toaster, a mural of a common household toaster that is over 22 feet wide and made with thousands of pieces of toast.

It took seven days of work and several friends and their toasters to prepare the 3,053 pieces of toast necessary to build the gigantic mosaic, which viewed up...
