Jay Leno Staying!

Jay Leno has signed a new contract with NBC for the prime time slot. I have no idea what the show is going to be called, but will have the same format as the “Tonight Show”. The “Tonight Show” will still be going to Conan O’Brien, but could lose its luster because of Leno’s new show. I think this is great, no more late nights watching Leno. I don’t think I would stay up to watch O’Brien, I don’t like him too much. I think O’Brien kind of does the same thing over and over again, he’s boring to me. Anyway, I think NBC made a great decision on retaining Leno. I’ve always like his act, this is great. And I’m sure a lot of you are glad to hear about Leno sticking around.

Hiring Yahoo Executive!

I was just checking out some tech news and came across something that I missed last Thursday. If you can’t buy them, hire them. That’s what Microsoft did, they hired a ex Yahoo executive Qi Lu to take over it’s Online Services Group. This group has been struggling really badly since Microsoft purchased it. Microsoft purchased aQuantive in May 2007 for a whopping $6 billion. And they took on their CEO Brian McAndrews to run the business. But McAndrews never lived up to what Microsoft wanted out of him and the company they purchased. So now Microsoft will hire Qi Lu to take over this part of the business. And who knows, he just might be able to turn things around for Microsoft.

The Vikings Wall!

I should first state that what your about to read is completely one sided. I’m a huge Minnesota Vikings fan, and a happy one at that. That’s because today a Minnesota judge temporarily blocked the NFL’s suspension of Vikings Kevin and Pat Williams. The NFL is trying to suspend them for violating the league’s anti-doping policy. But here’s the problem; they didn’t really violate the policy. The two of them where taking a diuretic that can be used to hide steroids in your body. The substance they we’re taking is perfectly legal. It’s that the NFL bans some of the ingredients in it. Now this is why both Kevin and Pat Williams feel they where cheated by the NFL. On the bottle of the product they where using did not list all the ingredients, but the league’s scientists and lawyers knew what was in the product but never told the players. So how in the world can you suspend two players when you, the NFL never told the players what was in it. To keep this short, the NFL said that they where going to take this case to the to federal court in Minneapolis to get the suspensions reinstated. I think this is raw deal for all NFL players, the NFL should share all information the get to keep all players safe and following the rules of the game.
