I named Burress the Sports Jerk of the Year several weeks ago on my MySpace page.

There's a lot of the millenium to go.

The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by José Argüelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about December 21, 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a misinterpretation, yet is commonly referenced in pop-culture media as the 2012 problem.

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. "To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting", she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

Isn't there a new movie coming out called 2012? I guess it'll come out before December 21, 2012 so the backers can spend the profits. Or is it prophets?

Sorry but unless some professional athlete turns into a serial killer, Michael Vick has that one sewn up.
