The Olympics have robbed sports of their true, beautiful nature and turned it into a corporate scheme which is focused on commercialization and advertisement – their key to attempt to pay off the 17 days of madness and profit corporations at the expense of public funds. According to the most recent reports, the Olympics of 2010 are projected to go into more than one billion dollars in debt. Despite the fact that Vancouver is home to the poorest postal code in Canada (the Downtown East Side), the city has taken part in the largest entertainment event in the world, and honestly, it's been more advertisement than it has been sports. This isn't the only case of incredible Olympic debt; the idea that it somehow improves the economy and lifts cities out of deadlock is a myth.

In 2012, Muslims may have to make some choices between the Olympics and faithful observance of our faith.

With the deadline being this Thursday, according to sources lots of big names will be moving. Players such as Amare Stoudemire are rumored to be headed to the Cavilers, which would change the entire landscape of the league.

For most of us whose hometown team was not in the match, the halftime show commercials were the best part of Super Bowl XLIV. Here is our selection of the top seven commercials this year.

The NFL players union and the NFL have contributed a million dollars total to the Red Cross. On top of that, they have aired advertisements in every pregame and during the game for the Red Cross, saying, "Text Haiti to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross" which is valued at 1.5 million. Also, they aired a public service announcement at every playoff game promoting with high-profile players of Haitian descent, like Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints and Jacques Cesaire of the San Diego Chargers.

The Jets have the number one overall defense in the entire league, and once again, they will have to rely on them. Darrelle Revis has built the reputation of shutting down the opponent's number one receiver, and this week he will have the task of shutting down Colts receiver Reggie Wayne. The Jets have not faced a quarterback like Peyton Manning all season who has the ability to spread the ball to other targets. The key is if the Jets are able to shut down Wayne, they must have an answer for Colts tight end Dallas Clark, who is arguably the best pass catching tight end in the league.

A BCS bowl game is about 17 million dollars for that one game. What many fail to realize is the amount of work players put in to reach a BCS bowl game.

The Jets need to find a way to get star WR Edwards more involved in the passing game, because if the run game doesn't work next week, they will need him in key situations to move the chains.

This year's SEC Championship features a battle of the two best defenses in the nation. To add to all those storylines, the Heisman Trophy may be on the line too. A big game by either Alabama running back Mark Ingram or Florida Quarterback Tim Tebow may catapult one of the two as the front-runner in a wide-open race. Both teams will look for a way to run the ball, as that has been a key factor for both offenses.

Unless the Dolphins can win the rest of their games, they don't really have a chance to overtake the high-power offense of the Patriots in AFC East.
