the Sing Off

The two-hour edition of “The Sing Off,” which introduced 10 singing groups in a competition for $100,000 and a Sony recording contract is back. YEAH!!! Wonderful program, super talent, intelligent judges, great host and it all plays out in only three weeks. Tune in tonight to episode 2 (NBC).

The acapella singing competition returns for a second season. Ten groups are competing for a recording contract. The groups perform songs from a variety of genres, with no backup band to help them along the way. Nick Lachey, formerly a member of 98 Degrees, returns as host.

The eight remaining groups sing modern hits and collaborate to perform “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon.

My Christmas Wish List

As we approach the holidays and begin to gear up for the 2011 NASCAR season, it’s time to celebrate our favorite big guy in red. Whoa there Santa, while you are one pretty cool dude, this time it’s not all about you, but I do know of a way that you can help to make fans of the Office Depot No. 14 team pretty happy on Christmas morning!

You see Santa, we fans look forward to seeing you once a year, but Tony Stewart, well we get to spend 36 glorious weekends with that big guy in red annually. While we would appreciate even more time to spend with both of you, we understand that you are a busy fellow who keeps to himself for a majority of the year and we respect that, but in the upcoming new year, Stewart is now willing to share himself with us 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 375 days a year. Can you top that Santa? I think not.

So Santa, what can you do for us?

Bring us an Office Depot Racing calendar that is chock full of smokin’ photos of Tony Stewart and his team that can’t be found anywhere else. In addition to pictures of our favorite driver in his red hot firesuit, which is already awesome, because who doesn’t love a man in a uniform? The calendar also features him in casual wear as well as business attire and that really gets our hearts racing! The calendar even includes the complete 2011 race schedule, it is a winning combination for any Tony Stewart fan.

I know, I know Santa, this isn’t exactly the kind of gift crafted at the North Pole by your team of elves, but I do know where you pick up some for your sleigh ride across the skies on Christmas Eve.

Mr. Claus, you can get it exclusively at Office Depot, but supplies are limited, so what are you waiting for? Get on it already! Make that list of yours now, check it twice and you will see that I haven’t been naughty at all this year, just especially nice.

For those fans who just can’t wait until Christmas morning, get your calendar today at select Office Depot stores or online at OfficeDepotRacing.com for just $13.99, a small price to pay for the gift that keeps on giving every day of the year.
