• Super Bowl National Anthem: Blake Shelton's Rumored Singer

    The final piece of the Super Bowl music puzzle — Who will sing the national anthem? — has yet to be solved, but a recent report from "Hollywood Life" indicates that country star and "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton will do the honors. "The Super Bowl organizers are looking to mix it up a little bit for the person to do the national anthem," a source told "HL." "They want a guy and they have asked Blake Shelton." Apparently, Blake has not been answering his phone, though. "He hasn't responded to it yet but they are anticipating a yes and they want to make the announcement during an upcoming playoff game," the source said. "So they are looking to lock the performer in by the end of the week. But Blake is on the top of the list." If Blake is officially announced as the singer, he will join a cast of music stars already in place for the big game. Katy Perry will perform at the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX halftime show at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona Feb. 1, 2014. She follows Bruno Mars's 2014 performance, which kicked a-- and drew an unprecedented 115.3 million viewers. Check out the Pepsi-sponsored Perry preview below:

  • Lions Vs. Packers: Michigan Bar Offers to Pay Tabs if Detroit Wins

    On Dec. 15, 1991, the Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin. More than 23 years have passed since then, and the — usually — lousy Lions have not managed to replicate that feat. Detroit's inability to win at Green Bay is historic. The Packers's 23-game winning streak against the Lions at home is an NFL record. But on Sunday, Dec. 28, the curse might finally be broken. That is what patrons at The Pour House in Madison Heights, Michigan, will be hoping, anyway. Bar owner Rudy Jarbo is promising to pay all bar tabs accrued this afternoon if the Lions are able to pull off the upset, which would give them their first division title since 1993. "There's a lot of excitement around here about the Lions making the playoffs, possibly getting that first-week bye and being two weeks away from the Super Bowl," Jarbo told ESPN's Darren Rovell. "I think this gives Lions fans an incentive to watch physically, mentally, emotionally and financially." There are rules, of course: Customers must arrive before kickoff and stay the entire game if they want their tab to disappear.

  • Bears QB Jay Cutler Walks Out of Press Conference After Local Media No-Show

    Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears exhibited an awful brand of professional football in their 31-15 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. Given that fact, and the fact that Chicago media are the most ruthless of the Midwest's press corps, Cutler was a likely candidate to be roasted by reporters following the game. But that never happened because he walked out!

  • Adrian Peterson Sues NFL, Reportedly Promised 2-Game Suspension

    Adrian Peterson may be thinking about quitting football in favor of the Olympics, but he swung a mighty punch at the National Football League Monday, Dec. 15, when the NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the league on behalf of Peterson. According to ESPN, the suit challenges arbitrator Harold Henderson's decision to uphold Peterson's suspension last week and calls said decision "biased, unfair and contrary to the collective bargaining agreement." Much of the controversy centers around a phone conversation between Peterson and NFL Executive Vice President Troy Vincent, who allegedly promised a shorter suspension than the year-long one Peterson is currently enduring. "Sports Illustrated" reported the leaked tape and transcribed the following bit of dialogue from the Nov. 12 discussion: "In the recording, Peterson asks Vincent whether he will get a two-game suspension. "Vincent replies, Yeah.' "Peterson: It will be two additional games — not time served? "Vincent: No, no, no, no, no, no. It won't ... the one this weekend. So really it's next weekend. You will be back."
