Super Bowl XLVII (47) is "The Harbaugh Bowl"!

Well, people should get their TV's ready for 2-3-2013. On February 3, 2013, two brothers will coach against each other. The two brothers are John & Jim Harbaugh, and this is the first super bowl meeting between both coaches. This Super Bowl is a special one, and RSG is calling it as "The Harbaugh Bowl!" Jim Harbaugh coached the SF 49ers to 13 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie (note: this record includes two impressive playoff victories for SF over Green Bay & Atlanta). John Harbaugh coached the Baltimore Ravens to 13 wins, and 6 losses (note: this record includes three stunning playoff victories for Baltimore over Indianapolis, Denver, and New England). But, the Ravens are undefeated against the 49ers in their last 3 (& only) meetings. In Super Bowl 47, the 49ers are favored by 3.5 points. With rookie QB Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers could pull off another thorough victory on Super Bowl Sunday. For RSG, hope the Ravens can pull out another victory. In terms of entertainment at the Super Bowl, Beyonce (& Destiny's Child) will perform at halftime in New Orleans. The commercials will be rocking as usual (thanks to hottie Kate Upton doing an ad for Mercedes Benz!), and Alicia Keys is doing her rendition of the national anthem before the game. Hope the game is a great one!

2013 Academy Awards nominations

Yesterday, Seth McFarlane and Emma Stone announced the academy awards nominees. The clear leader with 12 Oscar Nominations is "Lincoln." Next, the "Life of Pi" had 11 nominations. One of RSG's favorites, "Django Unchained", got 5 oscar nominations. But, Leonardo DiCaprio was snubbed for Best Supporting Actor by Hollywood. Another snubb was Ben Affleck not getting nominated for "Argo." The movie received 7 oscar nominations. As for other good movies, "Silver Linings Playbook" got 8 oscar nominations as did "Les Miserables." With the Academy Awards show happening on February 24, the awards season is in high gear in Hollywood. On Sunday, the "Golden Globes" will take place in Beverly Hills. This awards show is called "Hollywood's biggest cocktail party." For any movie buff, this time of the year is pretty exciting. Hope some of my favorite movies win some surprising awards. Au Revoir from the raving Hollywood G.!
