The Bruins have taken a massive fall from grace, where a little less than a month ago we were talking about how they were a first place in their division. To now we are talking about if we are even going to make the playoffs, it’s a terrifying thought. This is the time of the year where people from a fans perspective are looking for anyone and anything to blame.

So with all this drama surrounding the Lakers and their rookie guard D’Angelo Russell putting his teammate Swaggy P on full blast, you would have thought this team would crumble. The exact opposite happened, as they pull out a 2 point win over the Miami Heat last night. So the Lakers somehow forced the game into OT. And with 10 seconds left in overtime, Julius Randle took the game in his own hands. Looking like the confident PF we knew he could be, he shook Luol Deng in the post, and performed a beautiful spin move into the middle of the paint and lobbed up a floater that went down with 1.7 left on the clock. 

Earlier today, The Patriots signed the 29 year old Defensive tackle Terrance Knighton. The listed 355 lber is a beast inside who will be playing for his fourth NFL in New England. He is a perfect scheme fit and he is a huge improvement for a team that struggled late in the season to stop the run. If you recall, the Patriots lost their first game in Denver because of their inability to stop the run late in the game. The Patriots lost on 15+ yard toss play in overtime.

Its real folks, they spent on this, and now I am going to spend money on them. Probably the best ad I have ever seen in my 21 young years of life.

Maybe the state should be called Rhode Iceland.

Rhode Island officials yanked a new tourism video, designed to draw visitors to the state, off YouTube in embarrassment on Tuesday after eagle-eyed viewers complained it showed a scene shot in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik.

The state’s economic development agency, the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, confirmed the goof and blamed an editing company.

The state released the video at a meeting on Monday night and posted it online Tuesday for a new campaign. The video’s intro features a skateboarder outside a glass building and has a narrator saying, ‘‘Imagine a place that feels like home but holds enough uniqueness that you’re never bored.’’ People on social media said: Hey, that’s not Rhode Island — that’s the Harpa concert hall and conference center in Reykjavik.

Vanity Fair:
While commentators were perplexed by his lack of frugality, or surprising surplus of modesty, the over-leveraged rap icon’s state of affairs is a reflection of the brutally difficult fashion business—an industry that requires significant upfront costs and can promise little in return. Despite a growing popular appreciation of his designs, West has learned the realities of the industry the hard way. In 2009, he put all of his musical endeavors aside to work on his label, Pastelle—which then shuttered after seven months. Add to that however much it cost to create his line of G.O.O.D. merchandise, marketed to fans of his record label. He was chewed up and spit out for his attempt at a high-end women’s-wear line called Kanye West in 2011. The line never made it to stores. According to a 2013 interview with Jean Touitou, the founder of the French line A.P.C., which created capsule collections with West, the experiment put the rapper out $30 million.

His collaborations with Nike, on the wildly popular Nike Air Yeezy sneakers, did not stem the losses. West has said he was not given a percentage of the sales—a sticking point that eventually caused him to defect for what would appear to be a more lucrative deal and more creative license at Adidas, where he was able to expand into clothing and elaborate fashion shows at sold-out arenas three times in the span of one year. In his first “season,” West told BET he went $16 million in debt getting his line off the ground.

So this one has been a long time coming. I never knew that this issue would become a blog but my brain was saving it for a moment like this. 

Today is an Exciting day in the Tribunist world. I am here to announce we have additions to the staff here. You can't expect me to know everything. I do, though.
