Mayer Hawthorne Plays His Own Halftime Show as Nickelback Alternative

Earlier this month, soul singer Mayer Hawthorne campaigned in the Rolling Stone studio to replace Nickelback as the halftime performer for the big Detroit Lions home game on Thanksgiving Day after many loyal Lions fans attempted to get the rockers kicked off the bill. Nickelback is keeping the gig after all, but that's not going to stop Hawthorne from celebrating Thanksgiving – and the Lions – in style on Thursday. In this clip, the Detroit native announces that he'll be broadcasting his own halftime show from his parents' house, with his own dad on bass. "I'm gonna play a short medley of favorites and some songs especially for Detroit," says Hawthorne. "The band will be all local musicians from Detroit. We'll be watching the game upstairs!"

Back For the Future: MAG 2011 Nike

Me and my brother were talking about these today. I use to work for Nike selling shoes years ago and have always had a love for Nike.

So excited just wish I had the scratch to bid on them.

Well it sucks that the Women's Soccer team lost the world cup today, but I'm happy for their recent success because I had no idea how attractive a lot of them are!  I have always had a big thing for female soccer players, and it is great to see some world class professionals be so damn attractive. These are two of my favorites, Hope Solo who is gorgeous I'm talking ridiculously pretty for any profession! As well as Carli Lloyd who is so hot as well.

Song of the Day BIg Sean "I Do It"

I've been on Big Sean since day one. But at the moment it is safe to say that hee is starting to really blow up(if you follow hip-hop closely). He has a lot of features on big acts and has been dropping a bunch of free music. The way I see it, his first album is about to drop so I am sure he is just getting his marketing scheme down. Anyways, from time to time I question some of his choices and even him as a MC. But then he goes and puts out a track like this. I am sure if you have been watching the NBA post season then you have seen the Derrick Rose commercial that has this song in the background. Why not it has a nice beat, but the verses are fresh to death as well! Also I have to say I dig Big Sean's marketing because he makes fresh videos. They are always a simple concepts with pretty simple special FX that make the videos look incredible!

Nike Better World 100% Recycled ad

I am always talking about the innovations that Nike makes, this past week I had a long talk about it.  I had a discussion with one of the Nike employees at the new Santa Monica store and he was super cool, its funny to see the love for the brand that is built by working for them. Anyways,  Nike just introduced the premise behind its Nike Better World initiative via video this week. Prescribed as a “film made from 100% recycled ads”, Nike Better World is also part Public Service Announcement (PSA), but without the lengthy preaching. Highlights all Nike’s efforts locally as well as globally in assistance with environmental issues, humanitarian cause, and others.  So go check out the ad and rock some Nike's why you are at it.

Freestyle BMX

Saturday was a BEAutiful day, it was sunny in the 70’s and like most of Athens I was out in about. I ran into this guy on north campus and had to film him. All I had was my iPhone(3gs) on me so its not the best quality, but this dude is insane. I’ve seen him doing this at 7AM before, just going at it in a parking lot in 5 Points. Unbelievable!

2011 NBA Dunk Contest

I think it’s safe to say that the NBA dunk contest is back after a couple of boring years! However, I also feel like no matter what any other player did in the contest it had kind of already been decided that Blake Griffin was going to win from the start…I also think that Serge Ibaka got robbed with a score of a 45 in the first round. He jumped from behind the free throw line. No disrespect but Dr J & MJ both jumped from in front of it…
