You Missed It: Hats off edition

I’m going to give you the heads up that I’m phoning it in this week. I’ve been so busy stressing over my team, the New England Patriots facing off once again with the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. If there’s anyone still reading this, I’m only kidding. The past two weeks have been great. I’ve finally had time to sit down and not care about what’s going on in the NFL. It’s not like the Pro Bowl is something to care about. In any case, I am looking forward to the Pats wiping that “gee-golly-gosh” look off of Eli Manning’s face. Wait, no, that’s permanent. If you were busy filing an IPO this week, odds are you missed it.

The revolution begins
Less than a month ago, I called upon the men of this nation to collectively make a new headdress commonplace for us dudes, specifically, the tricorn hat. On media day, some of the Patriots, including cornerback Devin McCourty, did just that. They wore a red tricorn hat, possibly because it worked with the whole “patriot” thing. Either way, I CALLED IT!

Sing along with Mitt
Two weeks ago, President Barack Obama sang a few bars of “Let’s Stay Together.” Well, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will not be outdone. He will do or say just about anything to win your vote, and that’s why the people of Florida love him. At a campaign stop with some seniors, Romney sang a full verse of “America The Beautiful,” and later in the week walked away winning the state. You hear that, Obama? Romney can sing a full verse of a patriotic song, because that’s what winners do.

Harry Potter and the Perpetual Hangover
Daniel Radcliffe admitted this week to being drunk in some scenes in the Harry Potter series. He said that back then he was having trouble coping with all the fame, and turned to drinking every night. While he didn’t drink on the job, he would wake up and show up for work still drunk. This explains the scene in Order of the Phoenix, where Harry Potter slurs to Hermione that her “ass looks really great tonight.”
