Scudmore genius or fool?

The future of the premiership seems to be getting hazier by the minute. After toping the world’s richest league when it is left to its own devices, and with English clubs regularly featuring within the rich list of clubs. Why would anyone want to change it. It brings to mind the phrase of why fix it if its not broken!
The idea to add another match to the already crammed fixture schedule it’s quite frankly idiotic. Player fatigue is now a major concern for managers all across the country, putting another match on top of that plus a long haul journey to a country, which probably doesn’t even want them there, all for some extra money.
None other than the premier league chief executive himself conjured up this idea. Richard Scudamore has even gone completely insane or money hungry, well you could argue that both are the same. This pretty much comes out of the blue with him securing numerous beneficial deals for the league such as BskyB and various deals with the BBC.
Many countries in which he wished to stage the matches have rejected this cash-grabbing idea, further reinforcing the general stupidity of the idea. Unless he pulls another masterplan, and I use that phrase lightly, out the bag he could be taking that bag to another job.
Fans have brought up numerous complaints about traveling to watch these matches. Season ticket holders will surely lose money. Being a student myself i know for a fact losing money is never nice. Every penny counts.
I suppose one positive from a fans side is that we get to see another match, which is always good. With the idea seemingly being dismissed with Blatter saying "it could harm England's world cup bid", the jury is still out on Mr Scudamore.

Youtube Video

The cult band OK Go have a knack of producing amazing dance routines to include their videos. An old favourite is an elaborate one involving treadmills. This is video is as close to genius as you will find on the internet. Timing is impeccable; the hours of practice have clearly paid off. Injuries must have been at an all time high with technical moves being performed. This is an example of creativity at its highest levels.
It’s refreshing to see a band make a low budget video which they have clearly enjoyed creating. Compare this to moody R’n’B stars having a dance in a club trying to catch the attentions of a young female. The humorous take on what is seen in the music industry as a mandatory occurrence thanks to MTV is more than welcome on any music channel. Change can be a good thing. This video won a Grammy for “best short-form music video”. An impressive feat by any means .

This short video has taken youtube by storm receiving a staggering 29,710,693 views and being favourited 199,481.

History of Blogging

The history of blogging is a blurry one. No one seems to lay claim to being the forefather of this latest Internet craze. Names are thrown around in an attempt to label someone as the creator. Names such as Justin Hall and Jorn Barger are mention frequently. According to many resources Justin Hall is the father of blogging. He set up a web page in 1994 and started to write an online journal, which continued for many years. The actual term, “blog”, wasn’t coined until 1999 when Peter Merholz created it shortening the original, “wee-blog”, which is an obvious improvement. When the term was created Jesse James Garrett made a list of current blogs consisting of 23.
Many bloggers don’t make a profit from their blogs. It is reported the only Jason Calacanis has made a profit when he sold his blogs for a staggering $25 million. Most writers purely write for the love of it and to share their views and opinions on controversial subjects. Blogs can pretty much be found on any subject you care to think about. Shoes, football, hair, ipods, pencils, can all be found on the world wide web.
