Rookie quarterbacks will be everywhere in 2013

With Indy saying finding a franchise quarterback is so easy why doesn't more teams get one, in Seattle they are saying who is Matt Flynn and why are we paying him so much, In Cincy they have nightmares about Carson Palmer and then they wake up and realize he in the black hole and smile. Carolina is still drinking the juice but it is not as sweet as last year, and in Washington they are saying this RG3 is not a sandwich, not a not a drink, not a billboard but a football player and he can actually play that's awesome. So with the likes of Andrew Luck in Indy, Robert Griffin III in the nation's capital, Andy Dalton in Cincy, Cam Newton in Carolina, and Russell Wilson in Seattle and all are either finishing their first or second season in the league and four of the five quarterbacks are making the playoffs with Dalton doing in back-to-back seasons which is a miracle in its self in Cincy. With this trend on a huge roll with even Christian Ponder making the playoffs behind 2,097 rushing yards from Ardian Peterson who fell just short of Eric Dickerson's season rushing record and was charging very hard down the stretch it is not a stretch that 5 or 6 quarterbacks go in the first 40 to 45 picks in this year's draft. With teams like KC, Oakland, Tennessee, Cards, and the Jets jumping into the rookie quarterback pool to go after the likes of Glenn Smith, Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson Aaron Murray, Ryan Nassib, Mike Glennon, and even Tyler Bray making teams drool and make them go a lot higher than they should. The Bills should be in the market but they go for the best all around athletes and will end up with another running back and will become the first non computerized team to run every play while Jacksonville would be at the top of the list for quarterback but will likely go for selling tickets which is also important so they will get on the Tebow crazy train. It maybe a quick burst of the rookie bubble as the copy cat teams in a copy cat sport will be burned and will lose another few seasons trying to fix their problematic teams Tom Mehegan

Carly Ray Jepsen a breakout star in 2012

Carly Ray Jepsen had a year that most people could only dream of it started with a very interesting video for her first hit of the Summer "Call me maybe" where she likes a guy and in the end he just wants to hang out with her brother. This turns into one of the most watched videos on YouTube with over 370 million views in 10 month and has spun of numerous parodies from the Dolphin Cheerleaders to the US Olympic team to everyone in-between. Then the song can be heard everywhere all Summer long and it simply the song of the summer and nothing was as strong all Summer. She then follows that up with a duet with her friend Owl City called "Good Time" which kept her on the music map and is even before she released her CD this year called "Kiss" that was released on September 14, 2012 and sold 46,000 copies in the first week in the US and 8,000 copies in Canada while her song "call me maybe" has over a million buys on itunes in the US alone. She started her 2012 with Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez hearing Call me maybe on the radio while in Canada and soon was signed to Justin's Schoolboy Records and by the end of the year was at the biggest party in Canada as apart of the 100th Grey Cup as a halftime act. She toured with Justin the second half of the year to sold out crowds and she has picked up a number of awards this year for call me maybe. This is from a lady who just turned 27 and looks a lot younger than that who had paid her dues in Canada as she auditioned for Canadian idol in 2007 and finished third and will go down as one of the famous Canadian contestants. She put her music out there for years in Canada and had mild air play in Canada for her songs "Tug of War" and "Bucket" and were on her debut album called "Tug of War" and was released late in 2008. She also mentioned in Owl City's song "Vanilla Sky" in 2009 and made a cameo in the video along with the likes of basketball player Shaq O'Neil. Now Carly future like most others will be doing the very popular disappearing act as it is extremely hard to keep your image and music in the main stream but she will continue to make music that will be played in Canada but who knows if it will catch on anywhere else and she will likely become a judge when the Canadian version of the Voice appears on my TV screen or maybe if it reappears maybe Canadian Idol which put to the side a few years ago. Hope everyone has a great new year Tom Mehegan

Michael Pinball Clemons foundation continues to build school

Micheal Pinball Clemons who name is bigger than the team which he used to play for the Toronto Argos decided to go on a trip to Africa years ago and on the trip he found that their were no proper schools there. This started a huge snowball as he decided to start up a foundation to raise money to build schools and in a short period of time like three years he setup a goal to build 131 schools and as of right now he has raised over 140 schools. The schools will be spread out to 7 resourced countries that need schools and on top of the schools that people, companies, and communities have raised the needed 8500 dollars to build a school the foundation has also raised over 400,000 dollars for other charities in the Toronto area. These charities are Habitat for Humanity who build houses in the Toronto area, a scholarship at George Brown College which is given out to multiply students, Sky's the limit who provides computers to families in the Jane and Finch area, and the Ronald MacDonald House Home for Dinner program that support the families staying at the to be close to their ill or recovering child. The foundation had a number of people donate a school in the name of their family or their child(ren) but on top of that Pinball has been selling shirts at argos game to raise enough money to build a school or two or three. In the end Pinball Foundation which is at MPCF.ca has done at a lot of fund raising and it shows who much of a mane Pinball has in Toronto and he uses it for the good of others which is amazing. He will likely run for mayor of Toronto within the next 10 years and would likely win and be a great mayor for the city. Happy Holidays everyone Tom Mehegan

Brooklyn Brawler wins in Brooklyn

The WWE talking all night about almost 16 thousand in Brooklyn and at first that it was the first ever WWE appearance in Brooklyn but by the end of the night it was called the first PPV in Brooklyn at least for the WWE. The crowd was the loudest best crowd for a WWE event in a long time and were hot everything and that included an in prom to Miz TV where Miz came out and talked about how he asks great questions and in the end the show turns into a train wreck because of the guest and said that his guest at this time were a train wreck and then announced 3MB (three man band, baby) who came down to the ring and started jumping on tables and couches. The end of Miz TV was that 3MB went to ring side and talked to the Spanish announce team and told them they needed to speck American and started to push them around until Ricardo Rodriguez came out to protect them and 3MB started pushing Rodriguez around until Alberto Del Rio showed up and battled all three of them and with Miz just watching in the ring they all ended up in the ring a member of 3MB pushed Miz to get him involved and they cleared the band out of the ring. Then 3MB said U two get a partner and we will fight U later and that is when the fans started a we want Ryder woo,woo,woo chant but when it was time for the match Miz announced that it was a local not from any other part of New York but Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Brawler came out to a huge pop. So u had Del Rio as a babyface in the match and if that was not weird enough they had the Brooklyn Brawler in a DeRion Williams Brooklyn Net jersey come out and put the Boston Crab on a member of the band and Miz, Del Rio, and even the Brooklyn Brawler won the match and Brawler ended on the turnbuckle celebrating the victory with Miz beside him. In other results it was a shocking turn events in the main event of the evening that would leave the Brooklyn crowd very happy as in the ladder match for Dolph Ziggler's MITB briefcase the very anti-Cena crowd got what hey wanted as the Jersey Girl as Cena was going up for the case pushed it over to allow Ziggler to keep his case. So now the questions have to asked tomorrow night to A.J. after Cena is on Tomorrow's Good Morning America and the show either start with Cena or A.J. and both in the end will be in the ring and maybe A.J. maybe in love with Ziggler or helping Vicki for a chance at the title that Eve still wears. The Good of the show was the booking for the Shield who actually buried Kane in the match by thrown everything on top of him midway through the match and was there for the rest of the match in which they had 3-on-1 attacks on everyone and where very strong. The end of the match was two members of the shield putting there finisher on Bryant wfor the victory while Reyback throw the third member at the top of the ramp off a 15 foot ladder. The Bad was the announce team of the King, JBL, and Cole4 who all night were trying to one up each other with their pons and they all messed up words and forgot about the matches by trying to be the star of the show. The ugly will be the Wrestlers in the morning because they all took huge beatings last night and thankfully for them tomorrow there is not a lot of matches with the slammys happening at least less than usually and it is so sad that the announcers tried to steal the show again. All in all A.J. will be the story going forward Tom Mehegan

house of truth is finished

The final act of the house of truth was at the start of final battle '12 as Micheal Elign battled Roddrick Strong and it took Truth Martini a long time to show up for the match. When he showed up he cheered both sides when had the upper hand and was hoping to leave with the winner and he decided who was going to win the match by throwing the book of Truth into the ring for Roddick Strong but the first time Strong went for the book Elign stepped on it so Strong could not get it. Then Elign picked strong up to power bomb him but when he did Strong was able to pick up the book and hit Elign in the face with the book just before he was powered bomb and Strong got the three count to pick up the win in the match. After the match Martini made a huge ring announcer winning call sad the winner of the match is the only member of house of Truth and Strong then made sure Truth remembered that he was finished with Martini and left the ring. Then Truth got into the face of Micheal Elign and said that he had been slapped in the face by Strong and Elign and then showed Elign what a slap in the face ia by slapping him in the face. Elign destroyed Truth and with a power bomb out of the ring and he left Truth for dead and set himself for a run with the world title run in the new year. Rhino which was the house of Truth bodyguard has ended up on Kevin Steen pay role as her was sent out to destroy Jay Lethal and in the match he lost to Jay Lethal but after the match Steve Corino came in to the ring to distract Lethal and it allowed Rhino to go for the Gore to make sure that Lethal was unable to get into the final match later in the day. Elign will be a great next champ in ROH by beating Kevin Steen in 2013 Tom Mehegan

NFL should move back the Chiefs/Panthers game

The NFL is still going on with the Kansas City Chief and Carolina Panthers game today even after Chiefs starting linebacker Jovan Belcher committed suicide Saturday morning after shooting his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins who is the mother of his three month old child who was thankfully not harmed in today's violence. So it is a horrible thing that happened ans the question is why someone loses their mind completely and destroys everyone around them with no mind or reason of why it happens. The thing is with an athlete like a football player takes huge hits and gives huge hits which both may destroy brain cells i.e concussions which a huge problem in sports and no matter how much they try it is very hard to play and contact sport and be able to control concussions completely. It is all Belcher fault in the end as even though he is not around to answer the question of why is whole day happened and is the worst day in sports since Chris Benoit incident happened on June 24Th, 2007 who was a wrestler that killed his family before himself. The NFL can handle this sensitive situation by not paying attention to Belcher but instead to Kassandra and the child who is now without a mother or father and maybe help set something up in the child's name like a scholarship for college or university. Also it would be the proper decision for the NFL to reschedule the game for Monday or Tuesday instead of Today because head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli where at the scene of Belcher himself and talked to him just before he pulled the tigger with police just arriving on the scene so neather of this gentlemen will be in any kind of mind set to be ready for the game. Also the Chiefs players may need a day or two to get counselling before they are ready for the game but to not play the game maybe a bad choice as it would put Jovan Belcher in the record for the reason for cancelling a game and that is not a good thing. My prays and sympathy go out to Kasandra Perkins's family and best wishes go out to her child and hope it has a great life Tom Mehegan
