Creflo Dollar's Jet Boondoggle

 After a bruising weekend handling ferocious backlash over his campaign to acquire a $65 million Gulfstream G650 airplane with planned donations of $300 or more from 200,000 people, controversial televangelist and founder of World Changers Church International, Creflo Dollar has completely abandoned the idea and will only consider acquiring one in the future if it’s “properly priced.”

Christian Post Report – “There is no campaign right now,” said Juda Engelmayer of 5W Public Relations, who represents Creflo Dollar Ministries, in an interview with The Christian Post on Monday. The website hosting the campaign page was deactivated last week and an option to donate to the G650 campaign through the Creflo Dollar Ministries website was removed Monday afternoon.

Christian Post Report – Marco Reus of Borussia Dortmund

Juventus got off to the perfect start in the first leg of their match, winning 2-1 to gain an aggregate advantage as they head to Dortmund.

Carlos Tevez wowed the crowd in the 13th minute of their first meeting, scoring in front of a packed Juventus Stadium.

However, Marco Reus leveled things with an 18th-minute strike, also giving Dortmund an important away goal.

A link-up play between Paul Pogba and Alvaro Morata in the 42nd resulted in another goal for Juventus as they held on to win.

The match was evenly played, with both teams putting out nine shots each, while Dortmund enjoyed 59 percent of the possession.

And they should be able to try and use the positives from the first match if they want to turn things around and progress from home.

Andrea Pirlo and Martin Caceres were in the lineup in the first leg but will be out for Juventus in the second as they are getting treatment for their respective injuries. They have been added to a long list of absences for the Serie A giants.

For Dortmund, Lukasz Piszczek is the only player added to the list who are definitely out. Nuri Sahin and Matthias Ginter are both listed as doubtful in the match.

Dortmund have revived from a devastating start to the season, and are now 10th in the Bundesliga. Since their loss to Juventus, they have not tasted defeat in their last four matches across all competitions.

On the other hand, Juventus are still dominating the Italian league. They hold a 14-point lead over AS Roma as they sit atop the table. They have only lost once in their last 15 matches across all competitiosn.

Christian Post Report – Having met twice already this season, both teams have won one each – with the home team getting the victory on both occasions.

Miami strolled to a 101-91 win in their first meeting in Florida, with LeBron James returning to his former team for the first time after leaving for the Cavs. In his return, King James scored a team high 30 points, shooting 9-of-16 from the field. He also had eight assists to help the team but had four turnovers and only shot 10-of-18 from the free throw line.

On the other side, Dwyane Wade led the Heat with a game high 31 points. He also pulled down five rebounds and dished out five assists in the victory. Luol Deng also scored 25, having a very efficient night after converting 69 percent of his attempts.

In their second meeting in Ohio, the Cavs turned things around and won 113-93.

Timofey Mozgov proved to be too much for the Heat defense as he drained 20 points while shooting 82 percent from the field. James came very close to notching a triple double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on the night.

Wade was not around to play in that matchup but Deng shared 17 points in the losing effort. Mario Chalmers added 18, while Hassan Whiteside impressed with 17 points and 14 rebounds in only under 29 minutes of play.

Injuries may hamper this match-up from being star-studded as James and Kevin Love are slated as day-to-day following knocks in their win over the Orlando Magic.

For the Heat, Chris Bosh and Josh McRoberts have already been ruled out for the season.

The New York Islanders.

Christian Post Report – The New York Islanders try to end a three-game losing skid as they play the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center in the NHL. The match is on March 17, 2015 and starts at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Currently second in the Metropolitan Division, the Islanders have only won two of their last eight matches. Their most recent loss was a 3-1 defeat to the Montreal Canadiens.

They are still fourth in the East and if the playoffs started now they would face the Pittsburgh Penguins.

For the Blackhawks, they have won four of their last five and are on a two-game win streak.

Their most recent performance was an impressive 6-2 win over the San Jose Sharks.

Chicago are third in the Central Division and are only five points behind leaders St. Louis Blues and Nashville Predators.

If the playoffs started today, they would be part of it and face the Predators.

This will be the final meeting between the two teams in the regular season. New York won the first 3-2 and will try to get a season sweep over Chicago.

In the match played at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Chicago drew first blood in the second period behind a Daniel Carcillo wrister.

However, it only took six seconds before Cal Clutterbuck erased the lead with a goal of his own.

Patrick Kane’s potent backhand gave the Blackhawks the one-goal lead in the 44th minute but Kyle Okposo found a way to beat goalie Scott Darling to bring things back to level terms.

Only less than a minute after the tying goal, Lubomir Visnovsky powered home the winner for the Islanders to get two points in the contest.

The Islanders will have game-day decisions for Frans Nielsen and Nick Leddy, who have been out since the second week of March due to lower body and upper body injuries, respectively.

Martin Mayhew Draft Follies Have Cost the Detroit Lions Talent

Martin Mayhew Draft Follies Have Cost the Detroit Lions Talent
Detroit Lions NFL/Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions now have a big need at DT, what will they do in free agency to fix that problem

Christian Post Report – It has not been a pretty off season for the Detroit Lions. They lost their best defensive player to a record breaking contract offered by the Miami Dolphins. They lost significant pieces of their defense in other free agent signings and their mismanagement of the salary cap he’s left them without a lot of cap space to fix the glaring needs in their roster. They also traded away the middle part of their 2015 draft to replace Ndamukong Suh.

To be frank the Detroit Lions are in this position because of their inability to draft well. General Manager Martin Mayhew took over the team during the 2008 season once the front office had finally grown tired of Matt Millen’s inability to build a winner in the Motor City.

When Nick Fairley signed with the St. Louis Rams that wiped out what was left of his 2011 draft class. When Suh signed with Miami that wiped out the last of his 2010 draft class. IN fact in his first three drafts only QB Matthew Stafford, TE Brandon Pettigrew, and LB DeAndre Levy. That is 20 picks over three drafts that yielded just three starters. That is not how a team rebuilds itself. Those picks should have been the nucleus of a new Lions roster moving forward.

Mayhew compounded those mistakes by twice draft tight ends in the first round. First in 2009 he traded WR Roy Williams to Dallas for a substantial return. He then used the first round pick acquired in that trade on Pettigrew who has become less and less important to the offense. Then in last year’s draft with the very real possibility of losing both his starting DT’s this offseason eh spent the 10th overall pick on TE Eric Ebron, while signing Pettigrew to a 4-year $16 million dollar contract extension. Most NFL team do not have one TE drafted in the first round, but the Lions have two. That underscores how poorly the Lions have used their draft picks over the years, and while they have failed to build a consistent winner.

Christian Post Report – The Orlando Magic try to end a four-game losing streak as they travel to the Toyota Center to face the Houston Rockets in the NBA. The match is on March 17, 2015 and tip-off is at 8 p.m. ET.

Currently at the bottom of the Southeast Division, the Magic have a 21-47 record and are desperately trying to get a win.

Their last match ended in a 123-108 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the defeat, three players scored at least 20 points, with Victor Oladipo scoring 25, Tobias Harris with 24 and Nikola Vucevic with 22.

Despite playing a decent game, where they were 48 percent from the field and 47 percent from beyond the arc, their defense showed their weakness as they could not stop Kyrie Irving from scoring 33 points while shooting 12-of-15 from the field.

The Magic are also missing three guards who are important in their rotation as Evan Fournier is still listed as day-to-day following a hip injury he suffered late in February. Devyn Marble recently had an eye surgery and is out indefinitely, while Willie Green is recovering from a knock on his back.

Meanwhile, the Rockets ended their two-game losing streak with a 100-98 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

James Harden added to his MVP-type year with a 34-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist output. While Trevor Ariza added 19 points and nine rebounds in the victory.

The Rockets hold a 44-22 record, good enough for fourth in the West – with the win extending their lead over the San Antonio Spurs by 2.5 games.

Kostas Papanikolaou has been sidelined since late February due to an ankle injury and is still listed as day-to-day. Dwight Howard is making his recovery from a knee injury and is slated to return later this month.

Despite the disparities in their records, their first meeting this season ended in a 120-113 win for the Magic. In that match, Oladipo exploded for 32 points while shooting 63 percent from the field.

Harden and Howard combined for 49 points for the Rockets but with only eight players in the rotation at the time, they simply ran out of gas.

Luis Suarez celebrates his goal.

Christian Post Report – Barcelona try to complete their progress in the UEFA Champions League as they host Manchester City at Camp Nou. The match starts 3:45 p.m. ET.

In the first leg of the competition, Barcelona dominated City as they went on to win 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Luis Suarez opened up the scoring in the 16th minute of the match, then went on to double his tally in the 30th following an assist by Jordi Alba.

Sergio Aguero had a consolation goal for the hosts in the 69th minute but they know that they have to dig deep as they face an aggregate deficit and are heading into one of the toughest stadiums in Camp Nou.

Barcelona dominated the possession in the contest, controlling 60 percent of the time while firing 12 totals shots. City had more corners with eight against Barcelona’s four but were unable to capitalize.

Three Barcelona players were given yellow cards in the heated match, with Dani Alves, Ivan Rakitic and Adriano Correia all being cautioned.

City also had multiple bookings as Fernando was carded, while Gael Clichy received to yellows to be sent off in the 74th minute. As a result, the Frenchman will miss the return leg in Spain.

There are only two reported injuries before the match, both for the Catalans, as Sergio Busquets will sit out due to an ankle injury, while Thomas Vermaelen is still bothered by his hamstring.

In terms of form, City are currently looking for a positive turnaround. They have only won one in their last three matches across all competitions, with their latest a 1-0 loss to Burnley. In the English Premier League they are second to Chelsea, six points behind with the London club still having a game in hand.

For Barcelona, they have been streaking. Three straight wins in the La Liga have boosted them to the top of the table, with a slim one points lead over Real Madrid.

The Sims 4 “Get to Work” DLC

Christian Post Report – The new “Back to Work” DLC for “Sims 4” will be released a month sooner than expected for PC and Mac.

Electronic Arts has announced it will be making available new downloadable content for “Sims 4” with its “Get To Work” expansion pack on March 31, instead of the earlier scheduled April release date.

The update’s early release surprised fans of the game who have become accustomed to DLC delays. It is the first major expansion pack to be released since the game was launched last September.

The expansion pack allows players to choose from three brand new career paths, which feature enterable lots and the players’ actions that impact their Sim’s job performance. The three career routes include detective, scientist and doctor, which appear to share similar elements with “The Sims 3: Ambitions.”

The science career has proven to be the most interesting one in the expansion pack, allowing Sim scientists to experiment with combined chemicals that they can use on themselves or on other Sims, resulting in either physical or emotional catastrophes.

The doctor route will see the Sim learning to diagnose and treat patients, and eventually deliver Sim babies, while the detective career path has Sims facing danger to solve crimes. The expansion pack will usher in the advent of “bad Sims” who will be committing murder, a first for the game franchise.

The new DLC will allow Sims 4 players to open and operate their own retail establishments, similar to “The Sims 2: Open for Business,” with options for boutiques, bake shops, photography studios, and clothing stores. Players will also see more options to spy on their Sims while they are at work.

The “Back To Work” expansion pack will retail for $40 when it is released at the end of the month.

‘Constantine’ News: Renewed or Cancelled?

John Constantine runs after Henry and ends up at a Halloween carnival in episode 6 of ‘Constantine’

Christian Post Report – NBC’s TV adaptation of the story of “Constantine” from the DC Comics “Hellblazer” is in danger of being cancelled, according to numerous reports. The show ended its first season on February 13, 2015 after 13 episodes. The network has yet to announce if there will be a season two, but it also says that the future of the series is still under discussion.

According to Screen Rant, “Constantine” failed to “receive a full 22-episode season order” from the network in late 2014. The show also fared poorly in the ratings and this is despite the change in its time slot during the latter part of season one.

In another report in Seriable, one of the show’s producers Daniel Cerone confirmed that NBC has asked him to “pitch Season 2 in May” in order for them to make a decision about the show’s fate. Cerone is hopeful that there will be a Season 2. The report mentions some possible opportunities for renewal: NBC recently cancelled another show “Allegiance” after just five episodes which may open the possibility of renewal for “Constantine” because of its “bigger genre and broader appeal.”

Should cancellation happen, Cerone plans to take Season 2 to another network or platform. He has taken to Twitter to bring attention to other NBC shows who are performing lower in ratings compared to “Constantine.”

The show’s cast such as Matt Ryan, who plays the supernatural detective Constantine, and Harold Perrineau, who plays Manny the angel who watches over Constantine, are also hopeful that the show will continue. They mentioned that they have not received any news of a cancellation yet.

“Constantine” is based on the DC Comics “Hellblazer” published from 1993 to 2013. John Constantine is a conman who is also an “occult detective who did morally questionable things, arguably for the greater good.” The development of the character in this series is said to be quite different from the one that was developed in the film adaptation. Critics say that the series stayed closer to the comics.

The series was created by Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer for NBC.

Lisa Vanderpump gets slapped on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Christian Post Report – Last week on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” the ladies go on a boat cruise in Amsterdam, and one of them gets slapped.

In Amsterdam, Yolanda Foster decides to stay in bed to take a day off from all the drama. Kyle Richards arrives and cries about Kim. Yolanda comforts her and says that they all have their own crosses to bear.

Meanwhile, Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump decide to spend the day together and go shopping. Eileen opts to go on a museum tour with Kyle.

At a coffee shop, Eileen talks about all the drama that went down so far, and Kyle says that it’s better to ignore it and have some fun. Eileen says she’s offended that Kim apologized to Lisa R., but hasn’t said a word to her or Kyle. Kyle admits that she’s hurt too, but when it comes to Kim, there’s nothing much they can do.

Before dinner, Eileen has a glass of wine with Lisa R., and she says that she can’t understand how Lisa can pretend that everything is fine. Lisa echoes what Kyle said—when it comes to Kim, it’s best to pretend. Eileen gets it, but doesn’t condone it.

The ladies have dinner at a yacht, and the tension and animosity is palpable among the ladies. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Brandi suggests that everybody should say something nice about the others.

Brandi’s suggestion seems to work at first, as Kim and Kyle appear to be getting along. Brandi compliments everyone’s appearance, but when it’s her turn to receive compliments, Brandi hides in the bathroom and cries.

Kim manages to get Brandi to come out, and Lisa V. tells her that she should stop berating herself. This is when things take a bizarre turn as Brandi insists on reenacting an iconic scene from ‘The Love Boat’.

Brandi tries to kiss Lisa V., who gently rebuffs her. Then, Brandi tells her that she’s going to slap her—and she actually does.

Horrified, Lisa says, “No, that’s wrong. Stop it right now.”

“Do it to me,” Brandi urges.

“I don’t like that,” says Lisa, saying that doing so would be doing what Brandi did to Eileen when she threw a glass of wine at her face.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Lisa asks. “It just always goes too far.”

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
