Person of the Month February: Kevin Durant



When discussing the best players in the NBA, the conversation in the past usually revolved around Kobe, Lebron, and D-Wade. Be prepared to add another player to the mix. In only his 3rd year in the league and at just 21 years of age, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant is averaging an MVP-worthy 30 pts per game this season, and has established himself among the NBA elite. From Dec through Feb, KD went on a tear like no other, scoring 25 or more pts in 29 consecutive games. For those curious, only some dude name Michael Jordan has done better, with 40 straight games with 25+. Durant also played in his 1st All-Star game this past Feb. It's a shame Seattle residents weren't able to pony up the dough for a new arena a couple years ago to keep the SuperSonics and the Durant show from moving to OKC.

Join the Idol Boycott!


Top 24 American Idol Season 9 contestant Janell Wheeler

Those looking to find a recap on what's shakin on American Idol this week, forget about it. As of last Thursday, the boycott of AI officially started, thanks to Janell Wheeler's stunning departure from the show. Janell, aka J-Dub to her fans, saw her short lived stint on Idol come to an end when she was one of the bottom two girls after the 1st week performances. Early on, AI experts dubbed her a spunky Carrie Underwood, and she had clear star potential, much more so than most of the other contestants in the top 24. Way to go America. It was surprising Fox would let this happen, especially given the swirling rumors and intriguing subplots that come with them that J-Dub is dating former college football superstar and future NFL bust Tim Tebow. (I have confirmed through independent sources that Janell is not dating TT, but they are in fact just good friends) So in protest to Wheeler's premature exit from the show, I will no longer be watching Idol, and have decreed to all my fans to also join in this boycott. Take that Idol! Oh and btw, go John Park.
