If you ever wondered what life would be like if you had a job that required you to travel 95% of the time then you should watch Up in the Air, starring George Clooney. Here you have a character that has a job which entitles him to fire people from various companies where the supervisors there are too cowardly to do it themselves. What is interesting about Clooneys character is that not only does he not mind his job, but he enjoys it.He enjoys the lifestyle of always being on the road, and not having any attachments such as friends and family. In his book, that would only weigh him down in his job. Despite his life of emotional disconnection with others, he does have one thing he is passionate about, reaching 10 million miles and receiving the ultimate frequent flyer credit card. His entire world changes when the company he works for brings everyone home and plans to get rid of all the traveling of the job. In order for Clooney to stay in the air, he must show a newbie, a young college graduate girl, the trade on the road.

Here's a preview of what to expect from AFC East teams this upcoming season.New England Patriots: The Patriots had only mild success in their 2009-10 campaign, but as any football fan knows it's best to not ever count the Patriots out of playoff contention. Tom Brady returns to the field after a bounce-back year coming off a torn ACL, and most of his team is back with him for the 2010 season.Of course, the Pats might be shaky on offense depending on whether or not Wes Welker is ready for the start of the season, but with Randy Moss in a pivotal year and players like Julian Edelman and Torry Holt behind him, New England's offense will certainly still be strong. New York Jets: The Jets have a lot riding on this season. Rex Ryan scooped up some huge high-profile players during the offseason, but the team has to prove there are more than just big names to a successful franchise. So far this offseason, the Jets have acquired...more
