  • Peyton Manning 'Not Healthy Enough' for Pro Bowl: Future Hall of Fame QB Drops Out

He has missed three times so he could play in the Super Bowl, but this year marks the first time he has backed out when not playing for the league championship.The reason? A lingering right thigh injury he suffered during Week 14."It's a great honor to be selected to the Pro Bowl, and I've always taken the obligation to play in it very seriously," Manning said, via ESPN. "I've believed that, if healthy, it's a player's responsibility to play in the game because of what it means to be voted in by your peers and the fans."I'm disappointed that I'm just not healthy enough this year to be part of it. It's going to be tough not being down there with the other guys, but it hasn't had enough time to heal."

  • 'Rock Band' Video Game to Return with 'New Experience,' According to Survey

    The "Rock Band" video game franchise appeared to be dead in the water, but a new survey from Activision indicates the company could be returning with "Rock Band 4."The game expounded on the massive success of "Guitar Hero" in the mid-2000s by creating a full band experience from "instrument" controllers, including guitars, drums and vocal microphones.The first version dropped in 2007 and earned roughly $700 million in revenue.

  • Ex-NBA Star Stephon Marbury Says He 'Wanted to Die' in 2009

"I wanted to kill myself some days. I did. ... It wasn't about basketball. It started to become about me. Because I was that depressed and I was that sick.”

  • Wrigley Field Renovation: Chicago Cubs Stadium Will Be Missing Historic Bleachers at Beginning of Season

    Chicago's Wrigley Field is perhaps the most iconic stadium in the United States, with a legitimate claim to G.O.A.T. status over other all-time venues such as Boston's Fenway Park, Green Bay's Lambeau Field and Los Angeles's Rose Bowl.It has provided the Chicago Cubs baseball team with a home since 1916, but did not experience any drastic renovations until nearly a century later in 2014, when the team finally broke ground to fix up the crumbling structure.The current renovations mean Wrigley will be without its most signature seating area — the outfield bleachers — until May 11, more than a month after the new season begins.

  • Kid Rock Releases Conservative 'First Kiss' Music Video [WATCH]

    Kid Rock's newest music video is here, and it certainly falls on the conservative side of his multimedia endeavors. "First Kiss" is a New-Age, Mellencamp, country-tinged, pop song that features many of the same tropes that landed KR an international No. 1 with 2008's ""All Summer Long."The video is about as harmless as all of that sounds. An odd opening in which a grown-a-- woman hops out of a school bus pretending to be a kid is the only "Wait, what?" moment, followed by generic, "small-town" scenes filling up the bulk of the clip.Here is a sampling of the lyrics, which Kid seems to have copied and pasted from the "Billboard" Country chart:

    Paul Weller is much more well-known in his native England than in America, but stateside Oasis fans should still be familiar with the man who played guitar and sang backing vocals on "Champagne Supernova."
