Colin Kaepernick Nike Commercial

Regardless what you may think, this is a thought provoking ad from Nike. The outrage over Colin Kaepernick narrating and appearing in it is petty. It's the message that counts not always the messenger.

Why Colin Kaepernick Took a Knee (US Army Veteran, Nate Boyer)

It was US Army veteran, Nate Boyer, who suggested to Kaepernick to take a knee as a sign of respect. This is their inspiring story of what can happen when people with different perspectives decide to sit down, have a conversation, and hear each other out.

What Are The Odds; Irish Bookmaker's Super Bowl XLVII Novelty Bet Specials

For all those gamblers out there that just can't get their fix in by voting the point spread, the over/under or which team will be the winner of this Sunday's Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, don't worry, you still have time to place a unique wager on the game.

The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power is currently taking a number of Super Bowl XLVII novelty wagers on such things as:

• The predominant color of the first outfit that Beyonce appears in onstage at the Super Bowl half time show -  (odds vary depending on color of dress)
• The first time that all three members of Destiny's Child are on stage together during the Super Bowl half time show - (odds 2/9 on the color of their dresses, 4/1 if they will be wearing hats)
• Will Alicia Keys be wearing a hat at any time during the singing of the National Anthem  (odds1/4) and play piano live along with singing the National Anthem (odds 4/1).
• Will Raven's linebacker Ray Lewis cry during the National Anthem (odds 1/8)
• The number of times 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kisses his bicep (under 2.5 odds 8/15 - over 11/8)

Paddy Power will be taking bets up until Super Bowl pregame festivities commence (or until they deem otherwise), so if you feel that you have to have "a little skin in the game" to make Super Bowl XLVII interesting and worth your wild to watch or enjoy, than you better place those bets soon.
