Stefon Diggs

Stefon Diggs appears poised to bring his breakaway ability to College Park. He is expected to announce his decision Friday. While Auburn waits for Friday night's decision from 5-star wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the Tigers are already hot on the heels of his teammate from Good Counsel in Olney, Md., junior wide receiver Andre Levrone.

Stefon Diggs will not commit on National Signing Day, instead waiting to take a visit to Maryland this weekend. MaxPreps has learned that Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) wide receiver Stefon Diggs will make his fifth and final visit.

Remember when five-star wide receiver recruit Stefon Diggs decided to make a last-minute visit to College Park over the weekend? Guess who hosted him. We already knew that this was in the works.

No Child Left Behind

It could be the beginning of the end for the No Child Left Behind law. The goal was lofty: Get all children up to par in math and reading by 2014. Tennessee is one of 10 states to receive a waiver releasing it from the No Child Left Behind law. Chris Caldwell is on Shelby County's unified school board.

Some of the largest states, including Texas, are questioning whether the Obama administration's offer to let them escape certain mandates of the No Child Left Behind law is a helping hand to improve education. President Barack Obama, accompanied by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, speaks about flexibility for states in the No Child Left Behind law, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012, in the East Room.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Another popular appetizer is Buffalo Chicken Dip, which combines all the flavors. I am a big fan of buffalo and blue cheese, so this dip is right up my alley! It is creamy, spicy and full of flavor. I love that it has chicken in it so it gives the dip a little more substance than just cheese. This dip is perfect served with crackers.

Here are the recipe:

1 package of cream cheese softened, 1 bottle of spicy ranch salad dressing, 1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 rotisserie chicken and 1 cup of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.

Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of a baking dish and pour about a quarter bottle of the spicy ranch dressing over the cream cheese and follow with a half cup of Frank's Wing Sauce. Cut the rotisserie chicken in half and shred about a quarter of it and layer in dish, followed by  a half cup of shredded mozzarella. Start all over again with 1 quarter bottle of spicy ranch, a half cup of Frank's, another quarter of the chicken and the shredded mozzarella. Bake at 350 for a half hour. Serve in a warming serving dish.

The warmth of this cheesy dip heightens the flavor of the onion and jalapeno, while the spinach cools it downs. This is best served with a sturdy cracker or pita chip.

I usually serve with corn chips or tortilla chips, but it's great served warm with crackers and celery sticks. It's kinda spicy for some folks, but the delicious flavor keeps'em coming back for more! Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Brock Lesnar vs Alistair Overeem

The outcome! Brock Lesnar (5-2-0, 266 lbs) vs. Alistair Overeem (35-11-1, 263 lbs) for heavyweight title shot. It was a night of celebration for new UFC heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem after his first-round TKO over the giant Brock Lesnar at UFC 141 on Friday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Bill Maher

Earlier in the day, the cast of The Five made a fairly convincing case for caring about Bill Maher tweeting gross things about Tim Tebow and his religion over the weekend. Comedian Bill Maher made fun of football player Tim Tebow. Now some are calling for an HBO boycott. We'll let you know what he said.

After Tebow's Denver Broncos lost to the Bills on Saturday, the 'Real Time with Bill Maher' host tweeted: “Wow, Jesus just f----- #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve!

Tebow has been something of a lightning rod because of his faith, but it was Bill Maher, whose HBO show is in the middle of a three-month hiatus, that seemed to find Tebow's loss amusing.

William "Bill" Maher, Jr. is an American stand-up comedian, television host, social critic, political commentator, author and actor.
