They say a picture speaks a million words, and this snap speaks volumes.
New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon Lloyd was captured on film as he prepared to score a touchdown.
Photographer Keith Nordstrom took this photo of an airborne Lloyd during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
Nordstrom revealed that at first he didn’t even realize that he had captured a photo that would become a subject of fascination for internet users all around the world.
“I didn’t even know what I had,” he told Boston Magazine.
But the smile on Lloyd’s face made the photo a one-of-a-kind.
“The smile kind of makes it,” Nordstrom explained.
His prowess on the field is widely known thanks to being a key player in the New England Patriots. But last year his name hit the headlines for the wrong reasons– he and Kim Kardashian were exchanging in some sexy texts whilst the reality star was married to Kris Humphries..
As he is keen to point out, the Kardashian scandal is in the past and with current projects like the social media app Mobli, and an eye on a return to the sport he loves, Lockett is looking forward at a very bright future.
Here, he reveals all about life, love, inspiration and his guilty pleasures…
Celebzter: What odds do you give the New England Patriots of winning the next Superbowl?
Bret Lockett: I’m not a huge numbers guy but if I was I would say the Patriots have very high odds of making it back to the big dance.
Celebzter: You made a parlay into music, how did that come about?
Bret Lockett: It’s always been a passion of mine that I wanted to pursue but never had the time to because of how consumed I was with sports and other extracurricular activities growing up. Unfortunately, the last 2 years in the NFL I’ve been injured so instead of wallowing in the frustrations of not being able to play I decided to make something positive out of the situation.
Celebzter: Can you tell us a little about Mobli?
Bret Lockett: Mobli is a social media picture and video sharing network that allows you to upload pictures and videos in real-time. It is one of the coolest apps that I’ve seen and is rapidly growing with over 3 million users. The thing I enjoy about Mobli the most is how your able to categorize the theme of your pictures and videos you post into what we call at Mobli, “Channels”, which is subjects like people, places, and things.
Celebzter: It has grown at rapid speed, why do you think it has caught on so quick?
Bret Lockett: One thing that people love is being able to complete something instantly. Mobli allows people to share their lives, moments, families, and friends instantly with the world. What’s not to love about that.
Celebzter: What other projects are you working on?
Bret Lockett: I am currently in the works of working with another up and coming social media platform, which I am extremely excited about. I recently signed a contract to play for the Las Vegas Locomotives, one of the 2012 United Football League teams so I can’t wait to start banging heads again. Also I have a couple new businesses in the interim stages that I am helping build. All in all you can expect a lot coming from me in the near future.
Celebzter: You had a phone relationship with Kim Kardashian, how did that develop?
Bret Lockett: To speak about something that’s so far in the past and that has been covered by so many people shouldn’t be rehashed. I’m currently looking forward, instead of dwelling on the past
Celebzter: What do you think of her and Kanye as a couple?
Bret Lockett: I think it’s beautiful when two people can love each other and actually make their relationship work through whatever circumstances occur.
Celebzter: What do you look for in a woman?
Bret Lockett: In a women one of the first things I look for is intelligence and knowing what she wants out of life and in man. It’s impossible to give someone your best when you don’t even know what you want for yourself. I also love positivity and great energy. Nothings ever perfect but with those qualities amongst others, you can always build a firm foundation in any relationship.
Celebzter: What do you do in your down time?
Bret Lockett: My guilty pleasure is watching Netflix. I love starting new television series and can literally stayed glued to the television screen all day. I just finished “Prison Break” and “White Collar”, which were both one of my favorites.
Celebzter: What makes you happy?
Bret Lockett: What makes me happy is making others happy whether it’s teaching them something or learning something from them I strive everyday to put positive energy into the universe. In reality happiness isn’t selfishness or material things even though they may provide temporary satisfaction. It’s the small things like calling a friend you haven’t spoken to or seen in a while or listening to a funny story about one of your family members. That’s what makes me happy.
Celebzter: What message do you want to promote to younger kids who see you as their idol?
Bret Lockett: Don’t be me or anyone else… Be you! The best type of creations in life are those that are one of kind. Be unique and don’t be afraid to exude the confidence that comes along with it. You will always be criticized until you change the minds of your peers so enjoy being unlike everyone else. It’s a privilege.
We’ve seen the photos of her comforting her husband Tom Brady after yesterday’s New England Patriots Super Bowl XLVI loss.
And behind the scenes, it seems the Gisele Bundchen erupted and was overheard complaining: “My husband can not f*cking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.”
“I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times!” she is said to have said as she made her way through Indianapolis, Indiana’s Lucas Oil Stadium, according to theinsider.com.
The most important and exciting game of the year. Most men have been dreading the conclusion of the season while women will be celebrating.
Finally all the blood, sweat and tears boil down to one game featuring the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.
I absolutely love the Super Bowl, as long as it involves a good party. The Super Bowl is really only about 4 things, the best food, the best commercial, the half-time show and the winner of the game.
This year Madonna is performing at half-time so either you will love it or you’re just crazy! Let’s take a look at the other 3 important factors for this year’s Super Bowl.
Best Food
Winner: Chicken wings!!!! Hands down, lemon and pepper are my favorite but you can’t go wrong with any flavor wing.
Runner Up: Street Tacos
There are few things better than a greasy El Pastor taco.
Best Commercial
If you haven’t seen this year’s Commercials you don’t have to wait for the game you can check almost all of them out here.
It was just too difficult to pick just one favorite so I have a three-way tie. So in no particular order my favorites are: Chevy’s, best gift ever! It’s just hilarious. Honda’s, Ferris’s day off mainly for sentimental reasons I love Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Last but not least is David Beckem’s ad for H&M. David Beckem in his skivvies, nuff said.
And the winner is?
Drum roll please. . . . I predict the New England Patriots will win the game 31-24. I’m going with the Patriots despite the odds makers. Why? Tom Brady is a modern day Adonis (google it) Go Pats!!!!!
Yes, Superbowl is upon us, and will be bringing you some delicious recipes, drinks and gossip throughout the day….and on the day itself.
And, if you are a fan of 50 Cent, you may get to see him in his birthday suit, depending upon the outcome of the game.
Here’s this report….
He’s a betting man, 50 Cent - by now you’ve probably heard that the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, reportedly won a $500,000 bet on the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game, but he’s wagering even more on the Giants’ ability to take down the New England Patriots on Feb. 5.
Fiddy recently accepted a bet from Twitter follower@MyBestAssets that will cost him more than cash if the Giants lose – he agreed to pose nude and post the pic to Twitter if the Giants lose on Sunday!
But this is the rapper’s prediction: “GIANTS coming with that NEW YORK attitude. patriots leaving on a stretcher,” he tweeted. “We ain’t bullsh-ting lol”
And, for the second consecutive year, Suzuki is throwing its ad/marketing hat into the ring during the Super Bowl with the brand’s “Sled” television spot featuring music (“Movin on Up”) by award-winning rapper 50 Cent. That’s right, yet another Super Bowl connection to 50 Cent.
Whilst everyone else is obsessed with football, we’re obsessed with looking inside people’s houses….
