The "oh so often " criticized youngster, Mario Balotelli unites with Nike to bring the latest Nike Air Max Lunar. His attitude issues aside, this kid is only in his early twenties and proves to possess some of the rawest talent ever seen from a non-Brazilian in a long time. As a fan, I can only hope his disciplinary troubles balance out with his talents.

Fabolous – The S.O.U.L. Tape (Mixtape)
Fab released his latest mixtape today entitled the S.O.U.L. Tape. The black and white cover reflects the smooth and crafty lyrical content that this ever so anticipated mixtape brings to the table. The mixtape demonstrates the progression the Brooklyn rapper has underwent over the years. From the throwback and bandanna wearing, chipped tooth kid with witty punchlines to the slick, designer clothes wearing Street Fam CEO, Fab has indeed progressed a long way. He opens the mixtape with a remake of the legendary 2pac and sets the tone as to what you can expect from him this coming year.

Chad Ochocinco Football tryout
One of the most charismatic and talented individuals in the NFL has opted to try something a little bit different during the off season. The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has been training with the local footy team, and though his ball handling abilities are being put to the test, his speed and athleticism have earned a spot on the reserve squad. To think what could have been of a US national team had athletes like Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Barry Bonds and other American legends been introduced to the beautiful game. Makes one wonder why the rest of the world grasps what a great sport football can be and when the funding for the game is going to come?
