Elf, a new Broadway show based on the 2003 New Line Cinema major motion picture will be coming to Broadway for the holiday season.

This beloved film tells the story of an orphan named Buddy who accidentally gets taken to the North Pole as a child by crawling into Santa’s bag of gifts. Although Buddy grows to be the size of a normal human, he is still totally unaware that he is not really an elf.

However, when Buddy is unable to meet the toy making quota that all of the other elves are able to make, he is finally told the truth about being a human. After this revelation Buddy sets forth on a journey to find his real birth father that takes him to magical New York City where he is forced to remind the inhabitants of New York what Christmas spirit really is.

Tony Award nominee Casey Nicholaw will be directing and choreographing the Broadway version of this hilarious tale, and it will feature a book by Tony Award Winners Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin, with songs by Tony Award Nominees Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin.

Elf will begin previews on Tuesday, Novermber 2, and the show will open at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City on Sunday, November 14. The production is a limited engagement just for the holiday season, so don’t miss your chance to see Elf on Broadway!

It may be a new season for the New York Giants, but what happened at the end of their last season still sticks in the players’ heads. The pain from their ugly loss to the Carolina Panthers in the Giants Stadium closer last December still lingers with the Giants.

On that Sunday in December the Giants played their final game in Giants Stadium, and took a horrible 41-9 beating while in the process. When the NFL schedule was released, and the Giants saw that they would be playing Carolina in the new stadium opener, we can assume they were prepared to get pumped up.

Left tackle David Diehl said, “The only way to take care of those memories is to take care of things now. We have to take care of the present. We’re ready to do that.”

Hopefully the Giants can turn the pain from that day into something useful in order to successfully attain the revenge they are seeking during the season opener against the Panthers.

The regular season will begin for the New York Giants on Sunday September 21, 2010 when they face the Carolina Panthers at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has made history… again. Alex Rodriguez came off of the disabled list on Sunday, and since then the Yankees have lost two games in a row. Despite the Yankees’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles on Sunday, A-Rod still managed to shine.

In his first game since returning with a calf injury the slugger drove in two runs, and became the first player in the history of Major League Baseball to have 14 seasons of 100 or more RBI. This accomplishment was also the 13th season in a row that he was able to reach 100 RBI, which ties him for the longest streak ever with baseball greats Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx.

In order to be the  current record holder he had to break a tie with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Jimmie Foxx, which he was clearly successful at doing.

During Rodriguez’s second game since coming off the DL, he tied the game in the fourth inning with his 605th career home run, and 22nd of the season.

A-Rod and the New York Yankees will play their next game on Friday, September 10, 2010 in Texas against the Rangers.

After first being rejected in mid-July, and then being reworked, the NHL has finally accepted Ilya Kovalchuk’s 15-year, $100 million deal with New Jersey Devils. Early Saturday morning the NHL and its players’ association agreed that Kovalchuk’s contract with the Devils would be accepted by the league.

The contract was originally dismissed by the league due to the fact that they thought it intentionally circumvented the salary cap. After the contract was reworked, and the NHL took careful look at it, the league finally approved it early Saturday morning.

The original rejected contract would have extended through until he was 44. Kovalchuk’s new contract will now be in effect past his 36th birthday when it will be accounted differently under the salary cap of the NHL.

The new contract closes the loophole in the collective bargaining agreement which allows teams in the NHL to pay a player more money up front when the player is usually a better asset to the team, and when the player is likely to have retired the team would then pay the player less

Two months after becoming the most sought-after free agent of the NHL, Kovalchuk has finally officially been signed to New Jersey. The New Jersey Devils will play their first preseason game at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania against the Flyers.

The Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary is approaching within the next couple of years, and the band will be setting out to do a major world tour that is rumored to be their last. After their final trek touring around the world, the band will reportedly be seeking retirement.

The veteran rockers will be performing a series of live concerts around the world to finish off their long lasting career in the rock and roll business. According to Britain’s The Sun, a source said that the band is “likely to perform in stadiums…” however  ”it’s almost certainly the last full-scale world tour.”

During the New York Giants’ third preseason game, coach Tom Coughlin realized the amount of work needed to be done before the start of the regular season. Last Saturday’s game was not the Giants’ best as they lost 24-10 to the Baltimore Ravens.

Although Coughlin mentioned that “some people played well and played hard,” he made it clear that he felt like some of the most important players on the team did not show up the way he expected them to.  He said that the next couple of days are really important for the Giants, and that he needs “to see a lot out of” the players within the coming days.

The players who did notably well in the game definitely stood out. Corey Webster, a cornerback for the Giants, made an interception and also broke up three passes. Defensive tackle Rocky Bernard who was filling in for an injured Chris Canty had two sacks, along with defensive end Justin Tuck. As for the other players, let’s just hope they can shape up in time for the 2010-2011 regular season.

The New York Giants will play their first regular season game, which will also be the first regular season game ever to be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium, against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, September 12, 2010.
