There are a lot of great musicians from Detroit, Bob Segar, Kid Rock, Aretha Franklin, Alice Cooper, Madonna… but Nickleback is not one of them. So Detroiters did not act so kindly when it was announced Nickleback would perform at the annual Thanksgiving Detroit Lions game.
Fans started an online petition protesting the gig and collected 10,000 signatures in just 24-hours. After years of bad teams and a 2008 0-16 season, the Thanksgiving Classic will be competitive, as the 6-2 Lions face the undefeated Green Bay Packers. Detroit battled critics to keep their Thanksgiving game, after NFL fans rallied to rotate teams on an annual basis with a playoff contender.
With the nation watching the Lions, the petition begs the league to reconsider: “The Lions ought to think about their fans before choosing such an awful band to play at halftime.”
Besides the members of Nickelback are Canadian anyway who celebrate Thanksgiving in early October.
Is Reggie Bush the other man in the Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries divorce? Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband just after 72-days of marriage, and now there are reports she may have met up with her ex-boyfriend just days before. According to MediaTakeOut.com: “Kim knew that Reggie was in town to play the Giants, so she asked him to meet for lunch.”
Although the Miami Dolphins running back originally turned her down, Mother Nature intervened and his flight arrived in NYC earlier than expected because of the East Coast snow storm. The two dined at high end sushi restaurant Bar Messa in a private booth.
Kardashian and Bush dated on and off for three years, and Kardashian spoke openly about how she desired to marry the former Heisman trophy winner In a statement released by Humphries, the NJ Nets basketball player says, “I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce … I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”
Despite being dumped by Kardashian, the good news for Humphries is that he now has a good chance at winning an NBA Championship!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tony Romo who are expecting their first child. The couple married in June in a lavish ceremony accompanied by the Dallas Cowboys quarterback’s teammates. Now baby makes three, as Romo announced the good news a visit to Cedar Hill High School in Dallas, a student asked if he has any children, “Um, no, I don’t have any kids, I’ve actually got one on the way. My wife’s pregnant,” Romo said.

The timing is interesting, as Romo’s ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson, and our jersey chaser of the month, is also expecting her first child. In a weird six degrees of separation, Romo once dated Carrie Underwood, the ex-girlfriend of his now brother-in-law.
