Michael Vick signs a 1 year deal replacing his 2011 contract that included 6-years/$100 million dollars. It's crazy what 1 year does in the NFL. It goes to show that dog karma doesn’t go away.
NBA
Celtics finally lose for the first time (7 games) since Rajon Rondo proved that he is an X-Factor, for other teams…Kobe continues to keep his name in papers, but it’s for his off-court antics. He reprimanded a fan who tweeted another was gay on his twitter page. He’s also downplaying his drama with fellow Laker Dwight Howard even though he has been ripping on him all year. Shouldn’t they be focusing on the fact that they’re not going to make the playoffs in what feels like forever. Mike D’Antoni’s response was the most spot on I have seen him in years:
"We're not going to play out what we do in the locker room or how I should coach in the media. That's been our problem. Everybody wants a story. Everybody wants to give a story. The story is whether we win or lose and how we play.”
Well, I guess when you get to a certain elderly age like this entire team, you start to ramble for the attention.

North Korea conducted its third Nuke test due to US threats, the first under Kim Jong Un. We’ll let this one slip under the rug and blame it on daddy issues…Day 2 of the Pope Saga. He’s the first Pope to resign since the medieval days. While there are a lot of questions to be answered, I think the most important two are who really cares and does a Pope still actually have power and influence.

Walking Dead set a series record Sunday night as it continues to dominate the cable television arena with 12.3 million viewers and a 6.1 rating for adults 18-49, the most for that demo. Oh, and just for comparison, American Idol last week brought in 13.3 million on a network broadcast. I know it’s crazy in this day and age, but there are still some prehistoric beings without cable, making the accomplishment even more remarkable. The Walking Dead was even competing against the Grammy’s. I blame the lack of revealing clothes rule at Sunday night’s show for its defeat, however. I think next year, the organizers should make a rule that there needs to be at least 5 wardrobe malfunctions.
(FYI, I'll try and do a morning run down twice a week so keep an eye for them)

Chris Dorner is still missing as the search has stretched from Mexico to Big Bear Lake in San Bernadino Mountains. It’s too cold in the mountains for anyone to shack up for a few days and I feel that there was actually a Sasquatch sighting that was mistaken for him. It’s not like this guy can blend in. Once you see him, you recognize him.
