TOUCHDOWN BEZOS: Amazon CEO is reportedly interested in buying the Seattle Seahawks

written by Ruben Jay

Amazon’s Billionaire CEO, Jeff Bezos, is reportedly looking into buying the Seattle Seahawks, according to The Washington Post. Bezos is the founder of Amazon and also the world riches man, which means that at $105 Billion net-worth, Bezos could buy the team cash.

The NFL requires owners to put a 30% deposit/downpayment toward the purchase of a team. The Seahawks are located less than 2 miles from the Amazon HQ, which would make Bezo’s commute to work very short. The previous owner of the Seahawks, tech billionaire and co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, passed away last year.

Panelist of ABC’s Shark Tank, NBA owner, and billionaire, Mark Cuban says that Bezos would make a great NFL owner.

“The NFL could probably use him,” Cuban said. “He’s smart. He’s successful. He’s got a lot of money. Those would be the requirements.

Apple TV Plus launches. Here are my thoughts on ‘The Morning Show’ starring Jennifer Aniston & Steve Carrell

written by Ruben Jay

Apple has launched their streaming service, Apple TV+. I signed up for a free year for buying the new iPhone 11 Pro and immediately when to watched Steve Carrell and Jennifer Aniston’s The Morning Show.

I only watched episode one so far, and WOW this is an incredible show so far. Everything from the filming and editing to the acting itself: one incredible show.

The premise of the show seems to be inspired from the Matt Lauer firing over at NBC’s Today. Carrell plays the character loosely based on Lauer named Mitch Kessler. Aniston plays the role loosely based off Savannah Guthrie named Alex Levy.

The show begins with the executive producer, Chip Black (played by Mark Duplass), getting the results of an investigation into the allegations of misconduct by Kessler. The first episode sets a few story into motion.

The story of an aging news anchor holding the ship after her long time partner is ousted from the seat next to her. That same anchor is possibly going to be replaced as well for some new blood. The story of a man who believes he’s been falsely accused of misconduct fighting for his life. And the young hot reporter looking to take the place of the aging anchor.

The Morning Show is setting the bar high for Apple TV+ subscribers. If all their originals are this good, Apple will have no problem growing their base.

The New Era Of Microsoft Office

written by Mario Toscano

Now that Office 2010 support now reaching its final year of the 10-year lifecycle, customers are being urged to migrate to its newer Office 365 ProPlus bundle. 

Microsoft announced this week that extended support for Office 2010 will end on October 13, 2020. And as with Windows 7, which also reaches end of life in January 2020, that means no more tech support, bug fixes or security patches. 

Customers do have the option of upgrading to the on-premise Office 2019 for a one-time cost, but Microsoft really wants customers to move to Office 365 ProPlus per-user subscription. 

The main difference between the two is that Office 365 ProPlus is updated regularly with new features, while Office 2019 has the same features it had since October 2018.  

Office 365 ProPlus, which comes with most enterprise plans, includes the “full versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and Skype for Business installed on your client computers”. It also allows people to install Office on up to five devices, be they PCs, Macs, or mobile.  

“With built-in, cloud-powered security to protect your data, Office 365 ProPlus also provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your business will not only be productive, but safe.”

Some of the main features Microsoft has added to Office 365 since releasing Office 2010 include Excel’s XLOOKUP, the successor to the VLOOKUP formula; Excel real-time collaboration across PCs, laptops and mobile; Word’s Resume assistant; dictation in Word and the ability to upload audio for auto transcription.

In addition, there’s also an AI-powered feature in PowerPoint that offers suggested slide designs and PowerPoint inking, voice and 3D capabilities. You’ll have from now until to October 13, 2020 take care of business so-to-speak.

ALBUM PREVIEW: Walk The Sky by Alter Bridge

written by Ruben Jay

Walk The Sky is the sixth studio album from rock band, Alter Bridge, and is out on Friday October 28, 2019. I have been given a press copy to review and preview the album. This is my Walk The Sky preview. 

The Singles

Before I jump into the record from start to finish, I want to address the singles. Yes, Alter Bridge has a new sound on this record. Personally, I think it sounds like their old sound has developed. Despite this growth, some have reported to hate the new sound. However, at the end of the day, I still love the music. 

The band released 5 songs before the launch of the album and with each new song, I got more excited. Now that I’ve had a chance to listen to the record, I am too stoked to actually own the record. 

The Backlash

To the fans who have bashed this record based off the singles and the new sound…you’re totally wrong. This album is not bad in any way. The criticism from some fans about the new Alter Bridge songs is not warranted. I am not blindly supporting the band, I am passionately supporting this band as they continue to grow into the rock musicians they are. 

Now, The Album…

Walk The Sky is a great record from start to finish. While I can’t get into the intimate details why (you’ll have to listen for yourself!), I will tell you that you will not regret checking out this record. And please, do go buy the record! 

From track one to track twelve this album will have you on the edge of your seat. The first track, “One Life” will surprise you. It is a simple tune that will set the mood for the record. From there, you are on a journey and will find excitement and peace from this record. 

Myles Kennedy, lead singer of Alter Bridge, has gone on the record to say that this is a direct answer to the ABIII record they put out in 2010. In that record, Kennedy was asking questions about his faith and what he believed. He has said on a few interviews now that Walk The Sky is a record that showcases where he is now, and his journey to find spirituality that works. 

One song that surprised me as a personal favorite was ‘Godspeed’. It was more mainstream than the rest of the record and made me think of ‘Ghosts of Days Gone By’. I loved it and it is stuck in my head as we speak. 

The record is full of songs that, at first glance, you might not know how you feel. Once the song plays for 15 seconds, you will fall in love with it. 

There is not one song on this record that has disappointed me. I think you are going to love this record. Make sure you get it.

Craig Ferguson To Host Games Show For ABC

written by Ruben Jay

Former late-night host and comedian, Craig Ferguson, is returning to television! Ferguson is not new to games shows as he hosted the David Arquette and Courtney Cox produced game, Celebrity Name Game.

The new game show called The Hustler is a unique take on the game show concept.  The Hustler takes 5 contestants who have to work as a team. One of the 5 contestants know the answers to all the questions. 2 Contestants will be eliminated. The remaining contestants need to find out which of them is the Hustler.

If they are able to identify the Hustler, they will split the prize. If the Hustler is not known, the hustler keeps all the money.

“It’s rare and exciting to have a mystery-based game show that employs viewers and contestants to tap into their sleuth skills,” said Rob Mills, senior vp alternative series, specials and late nigh at ABC. “This fun, new format is the perfect addition to our dynamic game-show lineup, and Craig’s unmatched wit and humor make him the ideal host. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him back to ABC.”

All Elite Wrestling May Get Another Show

written by Ruben Jay

All Elite Wrestling is getting ready to launch their weekly 2 hour show called All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite. AEW debuts on TNT on October 2 and they are already in talks for a companion show to air somewhere in the WarnerMedia portfolio.

According to a report out at TheWrap.com, AEW and WarnerMedia are in talks to air a possible studio show.

“We are talking about it,” Weitz said when we specifically asked if there could be “a possible studio show as a companion [series]” for “Dynamite.” “I don’t know if you’ve met Tony Khan, but he’s not short of ideas — or passion,” he continued. “So there is a world where we’re thinking about ‘Where does something like that live?’ Knowing full well that within the WarnerMedia ecosystem we have B/R Live, we’ve got all these different components at our disposal.”

The fun note about a possible AEW Studio show is this: WWE Has announced and began auditions for a Fox Sports studio show. Could the AEW/WWE war go beyond Wednesday night?

Cody Rhodes, one of the founder fathers of AEW and wrestler, has come out to comment on the possibility of a 3rd hour of AEW programming:

“It may not happen on October 2, which is what we’re all kind of gunning towards, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was something that [launched] shortly thereafter,” Weitz said of the potential companion series. “We’re thinking about it for sure.”

What are your thoughts on AEW possibly expanding programming beyond their current 2 hours commitment?
