I began this piece trying to find a way to compare football to a relationship because it is just that. Every season I begin a love affair with a definite shelf life.

This year’s MTV Video Music Awards will be televised on September 12, 2010 at 9 p.m. and it will have a definite dominant musical theme: hip hop. More specifically, safe hip hop. Despite the plans to feature performances by Trey Songz and Ne-Yo, two performers who can claim some kind of street cred, the big names are Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Drake.

Last season I wrote pretty extensively about the NFC East. This is a hard fact to swallow for a NFC North kind of guy, but the division had the most compelling storylines and it seemed every team in the division had at least a couple of weeks in which they appeared to be serious playoff contenders (even the Washington Redskins were once 2-2 in 2010). This season I am going to have to swallow that bitter pill again.

Now that Tosh.O has established dominance over the elder programs of late night Comedy Central (The Daily Show and The Colbert Report), the cable station has announced the intention to debut Dwaynebook, a green screen show featuring Dwayne Perkins poking fun at social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter.
