Enough Already With The Apologies

The past week or so it's been rough for entertainers, athletes and politicians. We got Kanye jumping on stage having a tissy fit, Serena threatening balls down throats and Wilson calling the Prez a liar on the Congress floor. Of course, the usual comes right afterwards, the I'm Sorry World Tour. This kills me. Who made the rule that they need to go to every network and apologize? I personally don't think Kanye did anything bad. So what he expressed that Beyonce should have won. Serena, she was out of line. You can't go around threatening to "come over there and shove this ball down your throat." I get that. As for Wilson, this one is a little different. I believe certain places and people deserve a little more respect than the norm. The President is talking, the world is watching and this prick on the Congress floor is calling him a liar. WTH?! But what kills me even more are the people in the general public who think THEY need to be apologized to. Kanye and Serena don't owe us anything. They don't owe the public an apology. We have all been upset at something and said something out of anger. We have all wanted to tell the people at Oscars, VMA's, Grammys, ESPYs "why the hell did you give that award to that person?" but you don't have the guts to do it, so Kanye did. Who the hell do you guys think you are? The only people Kanye and Serena need to apologize to are the people or person involved in the incident. PERIOD. Stop thinking you are owed something or need to be made 'whole' by some damn entertainer. GET A LIFE!

Serena, Venus and the Miami Dolphins?

Serena and Venus Williams will hopefully add another notch to their brand: football.
They are currently in talks to become part-owners of the NFL's Miami Dolphins.

This is big business and a great move. Tennis, clothing line, endorsements and now a stake in the NFL! If this goes through they will join Marc Anthony, Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Jimmy Buffett who became minority owners earlier this year.

"Venus and I are always trying to expand our brand," said Williams. "If the opportunity presents itself we would love to see where it can take us. Hopefully we'll be able to expand our brand."

I’m wondering now how many other women own NFL teams and it looks like the St. Louis Rams is owned by Georgia Frontiere, who inherited from her late husband.

That’s right Serena and Venus! Get that money!
