winner

So this week would not be complete if I went through this entire saga regarding LeBron James and did not write about him once. I know everyone is sick of hearing about it, but for some reason everyone keeps reading the tabloids and listening to the countless information put out by the media. Everyone complains about it but than he or she plays devil’s advocate and wants to learn more about it anyways. I am not sure if there was a connection with the scorching temperatures that plagued the east side of the country this week, but LeBron decided he also wanted to be part of the “heat” epidemic.

If you never heard of a vuvuzela before, you’ve likely heard and/or read a lot about it since the first ball was kicked in this little soccer tournament. Tweets are all abuzz about the noise and even of tourney contingents are speaking out about the incessant bee-sounding noise made by fans with the horn-shaped instruments.

Haven’t heard the din of a vuvuzela? There are reportedly close to a dozen vuvuzelaapps, the most popular being “Vuvuzela 2010” and “iVuvuzela” which has been downloaded more than 750,000 times already.
Some have called the horns’ sound bothersome, others want them banned (which they will not be) and South Africa calls it a symbol of its brand of football.
