The halftime show will feature a medley of Kravitz's hits and include ''Like A Jet,'' a song he wrote exclusively for the team as part of the Pepsi NFL Anthems program, in which artists penned ''anthems'' for seven NFL teams. Fans can get a free download of the songs at PepsiAnthems.com. The Jets also announced Monday that they will partner with the American Red Cross to collect monetary donations to help Superstorm Sandy victims at all MetLife Stadium gates, with the team matching the total donation, up to $100,000, made by fans that night. The team will also honor 100 first responders during the game. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:45:09 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/kravitz_to_perform_at_halftime_of_pats_jets_game/12251623 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/kravitz_to_perform_at_halftime_of_pats_jets_game/12251623 Kravitz to perform at halftime of Pats-Jets game http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/kravitz_to_perform_at_halftime_of_pats_jets_game/12251623 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Previously on Outside the Boxscore, we featured a song done by pop artist Kelly Clarkson for the Dallas Cowboys in association with Pepsi NFL Anthems. A week or so ago, another Pepsi NFL Anthem was released by pop singer/guitarist Lenny Kravitz for the New York Jets.

The new tracks are currently available for free download at www.PepsiAnthems.com. Feel free to leave your own opinions on what exactly it means to be “Like a Jet” in the comments section.

The 48-year-old, who is a native of New York and is a New York Jets fan, released a new single with quarterback Mark Sanchez called “Like a Jet,” which is dedicated to the NFL franchise. It’s pretty catchy, but overall, it’s an okay song I guess. But then again, I’m not a big fan of the rock genre. Anyways, you can take a listen here: What do you think?

He’s also a native of New York and, like many other celebrities, a lifelong Jets fan. As such, the 48-year-old has teamed up with (the unlikely combination of) quarterback Mark Sanchez and Pepsi to release “Like a Jet,” dubbed a “perfect larger-than-life rock anthem, fitting for the endless determination that rings through the one, the only, Jets Nation.” I’ve embedded the song below, so hit the orange ‘Play’ button to listen. It’s also available for free download by clicking ‘download.’ (Duh.) Upon first listen, the track has a nice toe-tapping feel to it, but the lyrics sound forced and, quite honestly, a ploy for promotion. Then again, I’m no music major or Kravitz aficionado. Perhaps it was kinder on your ears?

The rocker had a chance to reconnect with some NFL legends whom he's had connections with in the past. Kravitz said Sunday that Joe Namath used to live across the street from him when he was growing up and the Hall of Famer used to play catch with him. He got a chance to meet up with Namath recently and reconnected with him on Saturday night at the NFL Honors. The musician also chatted with another great, Jim Brown, who was a friend of his mother's, actress Roxie Roker. Kravitz was one of the performers at the NFL official tailgate party at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.

The star-studded football and entertainment event was held at Murat Theatre in Indianapolis and it made for a great two-hour primetime awards special that aired on NBC. Alec Baldwin hosted the show that featured a performance from Lenny Kravitz. It was a mix of comedy with awards as seven of the yearly Associated Press awards were handed out.

It, controversially, includes one non-African American woman who is a very prominent black actress, that will fight you to the death if you say she's otherwise. http://www.ranker.com/list/the-30-hottest-black-girls-under-40/greg, People, Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:07:17 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/the_30_hottest_black_girls_under_40/9751747 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/the_30_hottest_black_girls_under_40/9751747 The 30 Hottest Black Girls Under 40 http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/the_30_hottest_black_girls_under_40/9751747 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Sources have told Captain Thunder Racing.com that rock & roll superstar Lenny Kravitz will headline the opening of the 2012 Daytona 500. Kravitz, a South Florida regular, will play a live show before the start of the 54th Annual Daytona 500. The 47-year old singer/songwriter is best known for his wide range of genres and melodic vocals. Kravitz has performed soul, R&B, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, folk and ballads. Kravitz also holds the record for most consecutive Grammy wins in a row by a male artist. From 1999-2002 Kravitz won the Grammy Award for ""Best Male Rock Vocal Performance". The four year winning streak broke the record for most wins in the category, and most consecutive wins in one category for a male. But, let's hope Kravitz has some gas left in the tank for NASCAR Nation come February 26th - he's playing the Fillmore At The Jackie Gleason Theater in South Beach the night before. - Captain Thunder - www.CaptainThunderRacing.com Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:27:29 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/lenny_kravitz_to_headline_daytona_500/9730918 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/lenny_kravitz_to_headline_daytona_500/9730918 Lenny Kravitz To Headline Daytona 500 http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/lenny_kravitz_to_headline_daytona_500/9730918 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png • Drunk Santa at Mavs-Heat: vodka & soda? • PHOTO: Floyd Mayweather’s jail cell • Robber recognizes NBAer, stops robbing NBAer • Bryce Harper got a chocolate lab for Christmas • NBA Dancer Tip-off!
