"Deflate-Gate" has threatened to overshadow the promotion for Super Bowl XLIX. A lot of the chatter leading up to the game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks has centered around the footballs being under-inflated during the Patriots AFC Championship win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Saturday Night Live mocked the press conference held by the Patriots last week. Coach Bill Belichick completely throws quarterback Tom Brady under the bus.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Associated Press) — In fierce fighting Sunday, Nigerian troops clashed with Islamic extremists who attacked Maiduguri, the biggest city in northeastern Nigeria. Dozens of combatants have been killed and wounded, soldiers and hospital workers said.
At the same time the insurgents continued scorched-earth attacks on villages some 200 kilometers (125 miles) to the south in Adamawa state, slitting throats of residents, looting and burning homes and abducting dozens of trapped women and children, according to Vandu Kainu and other escaping survivors.
The attacks come as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital nearly 1,000 miles (more than 1,500 kilometers) southwest of Maiduguri, for meetings with President Goodluck Jonathan and his chief rival over fears of violence around critical Feb. 14 elections.
In Maiduguri, troops blocked roads into the city, inadvertently preventing civilians from escaping.
"Coordinated air and land operations are being conducted now" around Maiduguri, Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Chris Olukolade said in a message posted on Twitter.
"We believe hundreds of thousands of civilians are now at grave risk," Amnesty International said.
Adamawa state legislator Adamu Kamale appealed for troops to protect civilians in Michika, where six villages are under attack. "The attacks have continued since Friday with no presence of security operatives," he complained.
President Jonathan made a surprise visit to Maiduguri 10 days ago and pledged to crush the insurgents. But his repeated promises are ringing hollow as Boko Haram since August has seized and kept control of large swaths of the northeast, including key border crossings into Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
President Jonathan made a surprise visit to Maiduguri on January 15 and visited again on Saturday
Boko Haram has denounced democracy and wants to make an Islamic state of Nigeria, whose population of about 170 million is divided almost equally between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south.
The extremists' Sunday attacked Maiduguri, capital of Borno state, on three fronts soon after midnight Sunday and troops battled for hours to hold them at bay, according to an officer involved in the fighting.
He said he saw dozens of combatants killed. A hospital worker said they are treating dozens of wounded soldiers. Both men spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to reporters.
The attack is not unexpected. Boko Haram on Jan. 3 seized a key military base and Baga town on the border with Cameroon, killing hundreds of civilians and leaving the main road open to Maiduguri. The military said they were counter-attacking a week ago. But escaping civilians said there was no fighting and the insurgents retain control.
The insurgents Sunday simultaneously attacked Maiduguri and Monguno town, 180 kilometers (112 miles) away, said Olukolade, army spokesman.
While soldiers were succeeding in holding off the attack on Maiduguri, it appeared they might lose Monguno, according to Abbas Gava, a spokesman for civilian self-defense groups.
Maiduguri is the birthplace of Boko Haram and has been attacked many times in the 5-year Islamic insurgency that killed 10,000 people last year.

The Muskogee, Oklahoma Police Department has placed an officer on paid administrative leave following a shooting that left a suspect dead.
Officer Chansey McMillin pulled into a church parking lot to confront 21-year-old Terence D. Walker after getting a domestic abuse call. McMillan, a Texas native, had traveled to Oklahoma to retrieve items from his ex-girlfriend's home. He allegedly threatened her by saying he "had a bullet with her name it."
McMillan confronts Walker in the Old Agency Baptist Church parking lot. He starts to pat the suspect down. At that point Walker starts running, exiting the parking lot and heading down a street.
Walker stops to pick up something before continuing to run. McMillan then fires five shots, hitting Walker three times, killing him.
The entire incident is caught on just released footage from McMillan's body camera. The church's pastor appears and begs the officer to stop shooting so he can check on Walker. The officer tells him he won't shoot anymore and commands him to move back.
A loaded gun was retrieved from Walker's body.
The pastor later says that McMillin “followed procedures” and that “he did everything right.” It's the second shooting McMillan has been involved in within the last six months.

He was cleared in the July shooting of knife wielding stabbing suspect Angel Cerda. Cerda recovered from his wounds.
What's your take on this latest use of deadly force by the police on a citizen?

Lawyers for Lil Wayne and Birdman had been in settlement talks in an attempt to avoid an all out legal war between the rapper and the man he once considered to be a father figure. TMZ reports that negotiations have broken down and the battle is now headed to court.
Wayne says he's owed an $8 million advance from his last album, I Am Not a Human Being II. In addition to the financial debt, the "Lollipop" hit maker believes Cash Money Records has violated the terms of his contract by not releasing Tha Carter V. He and his lawyers will ask a judge to free him from his contract immediately.
Wayne plans to release all of his future recordings outside of Cash Money. A big question that has not been addressed is how this will affect Young Money artists Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga and others.

Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors stamped his name in the NBA record book Friday, January, 23, with an incredible display of shooting against the Sacramento Kings.
The 24-year old, 6'8" shooting guard went off for 37 points in the third quarter to break the previous record of 33 points in a quarter, shared by George Gervin and Carmelo Anthony.
The entire Sacramento team managed to put in only 22 points in the same quarter.
Thompson poured in points in every way possible on 13-of-13 shooting. He drained 3-pointers, drove the lane, dunked and hit free throws. For the game he set a new career high with 52 points.
The crowd in Oakland cheered and watched in awe as Klay put on a show for the ages.
"They just kept wanting to see the show," Thompson said, according to the Oakland Tribune. "That's what they kept telling me. It's kind of a blur. I wish I could go back and enjoy it tomorrow, but moments like that, the best ones go by really fast. It's something I'll never forget and hopefully tell my grandkids about one day."
"As many spectacular things as Michael (Jordan) did, which he did nightly, I never saw him do that," said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who won three NBA championships playing with Jordan. "It was reminiscent of Michael because it's sort of otherworldly."

Comedian Mike Epps posted what he thought was a funny photo on Instagram, but not everyone is laughing.
The photo shows Epps whipping white slaves while they pick cotton. Martin Luther King Jr. can be seen smiling down at the scene from Heaven.
Epps has since removed the photo after catching flack. Do you think it was offensive or funny?
**UPDATE**
Welp, that didn't take long. Epps was contacted by TMZ and issued an apology for the photo. It was sent to him by one of his nephews. It made him laugh, so he posted it.
"I didn't mean no harm. If I offended anybody I'm sorry," Epps said. "I'm a comic, man. And I crack jokes sometimes, but I didn't mean to offend nobody."
