Entertainment Report Issue #19 (Super Bowl XLVII, Grammy Awards, Glee and much more)



This is officially the start of award season for the Report. Today Joe and I teamed up with Joe and we put our music prowess, or lack there of in some cases, to the test. We covered every awards in the pop, rock, rap and country genres plus some other fun categories, so take a look and see what we think.

That being said, a quick announcement. As award and WrestleMania season continues, I do have some surprises lines up so I hope you come back and enjoy the ride.

Now before we get started a huge thank you to @travlord and the @EastCoastCast as always but also @BrandonA_SKC for helping spread the word. Every retweet or repost helps and is always appreciated.



What an amazing game! Thanks in part to a timely light display... No not from Beyonce, but from a freak power outage just when it looked like the Ravens were about to put the game away. Colin Kaepernick appeared scared and just like a rookie during the first half throwing one of his passes away and not looking very accurate at all, meanwhile the exact opposite could be said about Mr Flacco... Who seemed calm, cool, & collective throughout the entire game. The Ravens were just the better team Sunday and the 49ers never seemed quite up to the task of completely overturning the score. The Ravens defense made it official with a crazy goal line stand that people will be talking about until next year's game.

Yay! Glee fooled me! When I saw the title I assumed it was another sex episode. It wasn't! This was indeed a very basic but good show. No major story twists, a few surprises but nothing too over the top.

First off we learned that the Warblers were officially disqualified from Regionals and that meant New Directions was in. That led to Finn saying that, of course, they needed to earn money to get to Indianapolis. Tina suggested a Men of McKinley calendar, which Finn approved. (I'm just going to skip over the Finn-Sue storyline. As awesome as Finn was here, Sue in penthouse scares me.) Meanwhile Sam and Brittany got their SAT scores which was revealed that Britt had one of highest and Sam had one of the lowest. This caused Sam to have a mental breakdown, which Blaine helped bring him back to earth with a great video from his friend. Hey at least we got a really fun mash up if Centerfold/Hot in Herre. Glee, you are sitting on a gold mine if you don't release the calendar, the fan girls will flock.

Back in New York, Rachel got offered a role in a student film, but the catch was that she'd have to be topless. The internal debate with her old self led to a Glee first, Rachel had a duet with herself. That's right, old Rachel and new Rachel sang Torn. I can honestly say, I love Rachel but two of her is too much. The best part of this whole story was Kurt calling Santana and Quinn to be Rachel's Jiminy Cricket and convinced her not to the future. On the record there is no real Brittana sex tape, I looked. It was great to just sit back and enjoy Love Story, even with the topless fat guys. Hey it made me feel good about myself.

Finally in the background in Ohio, we had a majorly cute buildup to Marley and Jake, complete with a love duet (A Thousand Years) and an amazing dedication (Let Me Love You). Good to see they are adorable together.

Overall it was a very good show. This is just continuing to be a great season. Keep it up Glee!

  • Bruno Sammartino was announced as the newest member of the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame. Just writing that sentence causes chills up and down my spine. Triple H to his credit never gave up and struck a deal with one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of the WWE. With this announcement, in addition to Foley, Backlund and Stratus might be the most stacked Hall of Fame class ever.


Despite Missouri jumping out to a 5-0 lead, for the first three quarters last Saturday, the fans at the U.S. Cellular arena were treated to a back and forth affair. It seemed that everytime Milwaukee would score, Missouri would have an answer. Finally with just minutes remaining in the first half, the Wave finished off a powerplay goal after Comets midfielder Lucas Rodriguez was sent to the box for tripping. Giuliano Oliviero crashed the box and tapped in the go ahead goal to give the Wave a 12-11 halftime lead. Missouri yet again had an answer for Milwaukee as just thirty five seconds into the third quarter, Missouri took a 13-12 lead. A 12 point rally in the fourth with 2 3-point goals gave the Wave their highest scoring game of the season with a 29-15 win over the Missouri Comets. The 15th straight win for the Wave, guarenteed nothing less than a second place finish and home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Rookie midfielder Israel Sesay finished off his firsr two goal game. JP Rodrigues also finished off his first goal since his return to the Wave this season. A three point goal against Missouri's goalkeeper Danny Waltman who at the time was playing as a 6th attacker.

Next up for the Wave is sunday vs the Rochester Lancers at 3pm. It is the annual Autism awareness game. Specialty jerseys will be auctioned off following the game.


1/31/13-New York Islanders at New Jersey

Martin Brodeur is definitely one of the greatest puck handling goalies of all time but this time it bit him. Brad Bayes took advantage of Brodeur not making it back into his net in time and scored a power play goal for a wild 5-4 overtime victory. The Devils never had a lead but came back from three different Isles leads. Steve Bernier, Ryan Carter and Henrik Tallinder all scored in the 2nd period for the Devils. In the 3rd, tied at three, Mark Streit scored for New York but just over two minutes later, the returning Adam Henrique tied the game sending the game to overtime.

2/2/13-New Jersey at Pittsburgh

The Devils' six game point streak ended after getting blown out by the Penguins 5-1. Led by Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz's goal and two assists each, Pittsburgh completely dominated the afternoon cap. The lone New Jersey goal was a second period shorthanded goal by Andy Greene. This game also ended David Clarkson's six game point a game streak.

2/3/13-New Jersey at New York Islanders

After two sloppy penalty filled periods, the Devils and Islanders are scoreless and in a goalie duel between Johan Hedberg and Evgeni Nabokov. This ended at 16:06 when Steve Bernier gave the Devils 1-0. 1:10 later Bernier scored again and then David Clarkson closed the game out with an empty netter. Hedberg made 22 saves for the 3-0 shutout.

2/5/13-New York Rangers at New Jersey

Les by two goals and an assist by David Clarkson, the Devils beat their cross river rival Rangers 3-1. The ageless wonder Martin Brodeur made 24 saves in the dominating win. Adam Henrique continued his Ranger killing ways with a goal and Patrik Elias assisted on all three goals.

Is there even a point anymore to say the Devils have a busy week coming up? Tomorrow night the red hot Tampa Bay Lightning visit The Rock. Then they have a home and home with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon (on NHL Network) and Sunday night (on NBC Sports Network). Finally the Carolina Hurricanes come to town on Tuesday night.

2/1/13-Chicago at Milwaukee

What a terrible way to start a home stand. The Wolves scored four goals in 8:20 in the first period, leading to a 5-2 dominating victory over their Amtrak rival. Guillaume Desbiens and Michael Davies led the way with a goal and assist each. Mark Van Guilder and Cam Reid got the goals for the Milwaukee.

In the next week, the Ads don't go on road. Friday night the Houston Aeros come to town. Then on Sunday afternoon the Grand Rapids Griffins make their way to the BC followed by the Abbotsford Heat on Tuesday night.


  • Super Bowl XLVII ended up being the third most watched program in history, gaining 108.4 million viewers. One would assume the 34 minute blackout had something to so with the dip in the ratings from the last two years.


  • The Toronto Maple Leafs claimed Frazer McLaren off waivers from San Jose. (1/31/13)
  • The Chicago Blackhawks traded Peter LeBlanc to the Washington Capitals for future considerations. (1/31/13)
  • The New York Rangers traded Mike Rupp to the Minnesota Wild for Darroll Powe and Nick Palmieri. (2/4/13)
  • The New York Islanders agreed to terms with Brett Gallant to a one year contract. (2/5/13)
