Halftime Circus

Another anticipated, yet disappointing halftime show this year at Super Bowl 46. I was thinking, "Am I at a circus? Oh wait this is halftime...". We had gladiators, tightropes, cheerleaders, and what appeared to be gospel? It was very extravagant and it was hard to figure out what was going on. We had Madonna with Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, MIA (flashing the paparazzi) and Cee Lo.
The 500 volunteers that set up and tore down the circus....sorry. Halftime show. Quickly did their job yet weren't paid or received free tickets or anything.
It was a good game, but another years halftime show leaving the response little more than "...tha fuck?!"

Sports Corner: James Huntley's, NFL Sports Agent, Super Bowl Prediction


We met James Huntley, a NFL sports agent, this morning outside of Starbucks coffee in West Covina.  He is a young, yet rapidly rising sports agent bringing in players that will greatly affect the League.  Huntley, and his associate Windy Innocent, work with Football First in finding certain college athletes that meet the Leagues criteria for their great endeavor.
In Huntley’s interview, he says his top 5 schools he looks at are:
1.       USC
2.       Arizona
3.       UCLA
4.       Oregon
5.       Stanford
Huntley expresses the importance of his relationship with his athletes.  It is important to know what kind of person that athlete is.  Anyone can be talented, but the League needs more than someone that knows how to play.  With the level of competition nowadays it requires so much more as Huntley showed the importance of character, discipline, and a love and passion for the game.  In addition to training 6-7 days a week, a player must have the mentality that there is no off-season.  A player must constantly train his body and his mind on and off the field.  Agents look not only for statistics and skill but grades and character in a player.  You must have all of this for a shot in the National Football League. 


Huntley also gave us his Super Bowl 46 prediction.  He wants the Giants to win but he believes the Patriots will get this one.  We all eagerly await the accuracy of all our predictions for this Sunday for the winner of the Super Bowl 46!  We will upload a live recording of the interview later.
