According to a Harris Interactive poll, the Denver Broncos are the NFL’s most popular franchise, ending a six-year run at the top for the Dallas Cowboys, who finished fourth.
The Broncos topped the poll for the first time, a finish that can be attributed to two things: first, the addition of Peyton Manning; and second, their run to the Super Bowl last season.
The Broncos jumped from 17th to third after signing Manning in 2013. During Manning’s final five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, the team finished no lower than fourth in the yearly poll.
The Seattle Seahawks surged in the poll, jumping from 12th to sixth while the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers finished second and third respectively.
The poll also found that viewership is up across the country, as 55 percent of U.S adults said they follow professional football, up from 54 percent a year ago.
As a tribute to the Yankee Captain Derek Jeter, Gatorade releases the Jeter My Way Commercial. Some find the commercial to go against what Derek Stood for during his career: “The Yankees” and not just “Jeter”. As a Mets fan and baseball fan… I actually loved it.
The commercial follows Jeter on his way to Yankee Stadium before a game. It shows the love that the city and fans of the Yankees have for the Captain.
Last year we touched on the fact Some For Profit Colleges are built on the fact that they’re literally robbing you.
It’s 100% illegal to take in a government student loan and be paid out for it. The fact that certain for profit schools
of which we will not name for legal ramifications are still doing it is bothersome.
How you might ask?
Let’s say you speak with an “academic admissions” specialist with one of the for profit schools. Chances are, he or she is fresh out of college themselves. The For Profit College preys on their innocence and teaches them that what they’re doing is ethical and moral.
But here’s the skinny on it.
After being “accepted” to your program, your loan company cuts a check to the school.
That school in turn will pay out the admissions person IN the form of a CASH BONUS for recruiting you.
What’s even worse is most people who truly are trying to better themselves are getting what’s considered a second rate education at nearly 5 times the cost of a community college or double that of an accredited university. Check out John Oliver’s take on student debt and For Profit Colleges

Most people have seen former talk show host Montel Williams speak about getting cash in advance of your pay check.
On his Weekly Show Last Week Tonight, Comedian John Oliver reveals the sad truth about payday loans. Some loans can receive APR’s of 700% of the original loan!
The sad truth is that most Americans that opt for payday loans do not pay them back within the given time frame.
Then, the collection phone calls and borderline harassment begins.
Most Payday loan collection agencies utilize bullying as a form to receive payment.
They threaten the borrowers with statements like: “you’re going to jail” or “you’ll lose your license” and they’ll even contact everyone that you’re linked to in a google search!
When the chairman of the finance commission for Texas is ALSO a VP of one of the biggest payday loan companies, you know there’s a problem!
This is a must watch!
