After being wooed by the Tennessee Titans, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals, Peyton Manning has chosen to sign with the Denver Broncos. The $96 million dollar deal will have Manning wearing a Broncos jersey for the next 5 years. The signing likely marks the end of Tim Tebow in Denver, leading to speculation to where the quarterback will end up next season.
Despite being a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame, many concerns will plague Manning until he proves himself on the field. Is he healthy enough to play? Can he still win? Will he be able to stir the fans into the same frenzy as Tebowmania? Give us your two cents!

Arcade Fire releases single for upcoming film The Hunger games

admin

It’s one of the most eagerly-anticipated films for the spring, and just in case fans of “The Hunger Games” novel series didn’t have enough to drool over, Montreal rockers The Arcade Fire have just released a new single that will be feature in the film’s soundtrack. The single is titled “Abraham’s Daughter” and is slated to play during the closing credits. The Arcade Fire are just one many notable artists that will feature in “The Hunger Games” soundtrack that will be released on March 20, a list that includes Taylor Swift and Kid Cudi.

From Billboard.com:

“Abraham’s Daughter” takes the “Hunger Games” soundtrack to a more intimidating place than its previously-released first single, the gentle and folksy “Safe and Sound,” from Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars. From its military-style percussion to the industrial distortion that opens and closes the track, the Regine Chassagne-led “Abraham’s Daughter” channels the film and book franchise’s strong dystopian themes.
