After a long lockout of negotiations and speculations, NFL teams are back in business and the box offices are raking it in! This weekend football fans all across the country are clamoring the box office nearest them to get the best seats in the house for their favorite NFL Teams, the whole while I am sitting at home scratching my head.

I understand that a few years of this game is all they’re going to have to support themselves and their families for the rest of their lives, but how many millions does one man need? Anyhow, now that deals have been reached and everyone’s getting what they wanted, here are some games that are going on sale this weekend: Missouri TigersBaltimore RavensTampa Bay BuccaneersBuffalo BillsHouston Texans St Louis RamsCleveland Browns

John Cougar Mellencamp Still Touring Strong

Posted on by

Americana rock and roller, John Cougar Mellencamp, proves touring is not just a young man’s game. John Cougar Mellencamp is showing the industry kids a thing or two about hard work as he barrels through city after city on his “No Better Than” tour this fall. Now sure, he’s not exactly country, but the country and rock genres have overlapped so much that you could almost hear his hits “Jack and Diane” and “Hurts So Good” on your local country stations couldn’t you? Anyhow, those are just my thoughts.

Scotty McCreery Premiers Debut Music Video August 9th. Season 10 American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery is set to release the debut video for his first single, “I Love You This Big“. Like fellow American Idol alum Lauren Alaina, Scotty will be featured on CMT Premieres: Scotty McCreery I Love You This Big. Unlike, Lauren though, Scotty will be premiering his video during this segment, Tuesday, August 9th, the day after Alaina’s release date. The video was shot in Los Angeles, but McCreery and the crew worked hard to find a spot that had the right kind of country vibe. Watch Scotty McCreery in “I Love You This Big” now! “The location for the shoot was really cool. If you looked one way, you could see Dodger Stadium, and if you looked another way, you could see downtown L.A. We found this park that had a little country feel to it … If I hadn’t told you that, you would think we would have shot that in North Carolina. The music video has a summertime barbecue feel.” -Scotty McCreery Scotty will be performing on ABC‘s Good Morning America on August 12th. Also, you can catch him on the special television concert event, CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock on Sunday, August 14th on ABC. Scotty will be singing with Josh Turner.
