NBA: Kobe Bryant ripped over TV commercial
Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl In a column published Tuesday, ESPN.com’s Tim Keown checks in with Todd Walker — a youth football coach and funeral-establishment worker whom he’d previously profiled, a man who “fights the gun culture and the death culture … [and] the pervasiveness that threatens to turn youth gun violence into just another annoyance of modern life.” Walker tries to impress upon his young charges that violence has consequences, that death is real and final, through hands-on horrors like detailed tours of the funeral parlor and getting inside of cardboard cremation boxes.
Vizio 3D TV….Slightly more affordable?!?! Check Beyonce in the Marketing!!!!
Say hello to the new VIZIO XVT 3D series, while the XVT Pro line announced earlier this year (and that 72-inch model we were drooling over) were not to be, these 42-, 47- and 55-inch HDTVs are real and on sale today through Amazon, Sam’s Club and Target’s online shops and should be on shelves later this month. Features like the number of LED backlighting zones (for the 47- and 55-, the 42-inch features edge LED lighting), claimed contrast ratio, WiFi N and VIZIO Internet Apps are consistent with existing models, so the big addition this time around is 480Hz refresh rate and obviously, 3D readiness (active shutter glasses not included). VIZIO’s also announced two new 3D compatible Blu-ray players to match for $189, plus a new router and some high priced HDMI cables to fill out the lineup. Full specs and prices are in the press release after the break, but with a premium of $300-$400 on Amazon over the award winning 2D-only XVT3SV lineup (we have one in for review, hint: it’s excellent), most will probably want to wait for some kind of package deal unless there’s a copy of NBA 2K11 3D or Black Ops burning a hole in their console right now. Update: It appears VIZIO’s made one other change since its initial 3D announcement, these TVs feature 3D processing from RealD, instead of the SENSIO/XpanD combo announced for the XVT Pro line, press release is after the break. We asked if these glasses will be compatible with those…
Jeter says Meeting with Yankees officials went well
Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl Derek Jeter’s grandmother has been joking that he doesn’t have a job. “Really it doesn’t feel like there’s anything different,†the New York Yankees captain said Thursday about becoming a free agent for the first time. “I understand there’s negotiations that are going to come and those sorts of things, but for me personally I don’t feel any different.â€
You’ll never guess what rapper is coming out with his own liquor!!!
Yea, he may be more recognizable these days as Detective Fin Tutuola on Law & Order: SVU, but don’t forget that Ice-T is one of hip-hop’s original gangsters. The West Coast legend has formed a partnership with Aiko Importers and Pay Up Management to promote and distribute his own brand of XO Brandy, fittingly named “Original Gangster”. The brandy is produced in France, created with a blend from “exceptional vineyards” to ensure a distinctive flavor. By 2011, OG XO will be will be available in every market in the U.S., with a retail price of $22.99-$42.99. And you know he never leaves out his wife Coco, she will get her own drink as well! I’m sure it’ll be a favorite amongst old players in the clubs pretty soon! -@iBLONDEgenius
