Brandon Marshall Might Have Escalated Shooting Of Darrent Williams
Give His Family Justice
Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall says he may have “escalated” the conflict with the man on trial for killing teammate Darrent Williams after a party early on New Year’s Day 2007. Marshall, testifying in the first-degree murder trial Friday of Willie Clark, 26, recalled how he and Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil approached Clark and another man to try and calm a developing conflict inside the party.
“I got in the way of the skinny guy, and Elvis got in the way of the guy with the dark sunglasses,” Marshall said of men reportedly identified as Daniel “Ponytail” Harris and Clark.
Marshall said the men had been throwing up gang signs and harassing a table of people that included Williams and later outside the nightclub he saw the conflict had resumed, with Clark and Harris again making gang signs at Willams.
“This is when I got angry a little bit. There was a lot of cursing and a lot of words being exchanged,” Marshall said.
Clark pulled up his shirt slightly as if to show Marshall he was carrying a gun, the receiver said.
“I said, ‘Man, you got no [expletive] gun,’ ” Marshall said.
Marshall recalled how he later saw former teammate Javon Walker in a bloodstained shirt at a hospital, clutching a necklace that belonged to Williams.
“JWalk just kept looking at this chain, he wouldn’t let no one hold the chain,” he said. “It was scary; there was blood on that chain.”
Clark faces 16 counts of attempted murder and other charges.
Miami Heat Carlos Arroyo Arrested
"SEVEN! SEVEN miles an hour!"
Miami Heat point guard Carlos Arroyo was arrested yesterday and charged with resisting arrest after police say he was pulled over for driving suspiciously.
The Coral Gables Police Department reports that a motorcycle officer made several attempts to pull Arroyo over Friday morning. After Arroyo was stopped, police say he refused to get out of his vehicle several times. Additional units were requested due to his unwillingness to comply with the officer’s orders. Arroyo eventually exited the vehicle but while being taken into police custody,he began to resist being handcuffed.
Arroyo released a statement saying he was on his way to practice when he was stopped. He says the matter will be resolved in his favor when all the facts come out in court.
What in the world went down and why was Arroyo driving so slowly? What we do know is that his face kissed the pavement a couple times.
Dick Move Or Brilliant Move By Jason Kidd?
Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson did draw a technical in which Dallas Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki made the free throw. The game eventually went into overtime where the Mavericks beat the Hawks 111-103.
So was Mavericks guard Jason Kidd’s play a dick move or a brilliant one, I’ll let the opinion be left up to you.
But what ever your opinion is, don’t overlook the stat that Kidd pulled in his 104th career triple-double, by posting 19 points, 17 assists, 16 rebounds. Only three players have ever laid down a 15-15-15. Kidd did it back in 1996 with a 21-16-16 and the other two where Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
Zach Randolph Forever Linked To Tyrus Thomas
I’m not your typical NBA fan that is going to rate every NBA dunk as a facial or act like we never seen anything that impressive before. But being an NBA fan you realize that every now and then there comes those million dollar moment for a hoopster and its a rarity to be included on that list on this site.
This season we have seen a few that get that distinction of forever linking one player to another like Derrick Rose to Goran Dragic,Paul Milsap to Carmelo Anthony or like Dwyane Wade being linked on both sides of the spectrum to J.J. Hickson and Anderson Varejao.
Now we have our latest inclusion of Charlotte Bobcats Tyrus Thomas million dollar moment on Memphis Grizzlies Zach Randolph. That two handed put down with extension is very impressive.
The Tiger Woods Spoof Porno I Bought
There Was Sex In The Champagne Room
So I was at the Adult Mexaplexx last night after striking out the bar and came across the latest production by Adam & Eve Pictures entitled “Tyler’s Wood,” obviously a play on Tiger Woods.
After staring at it for no more than two seconds I went ahead and bought it. The plot features a famous golfer and his long-suffering blond wife. There of course was the interracial scenes, some lesbian scenes and a whole lot of screaming “FORE!”
Can’t say its the best Ive ever seen but that’s what I get when I have one to many ‘Irish Car Bombs’ and ‘Jager Bombs’ that it impairs me from getting the real thing.

Indiana College Lifts 116 year Ban On National Anthem
Free Country
For more than a century, there was no playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Goshen College a small Indiana Christian college with ties to the Mennonite Church.
For the first time in the school’s history, Goshen College will play an instrumental version of the national anthem before many campus sporting events.
The decision to reverse the ban on the anthem is aimed at making students and visitors outside the faith feel more welcome, but it has roiled some at the 1,000-student college who feel the song puts love for county above love for God.
Since college President Jim Brenneman announced the decision about 900 people have joined the Facebook group “Against Goshen College Playing National Anthem,” hundreds have signed an online petition protesting the move and letters sent to administrators and the campus newspaper have overwhelmingly voiced opposition to the change.
Mennonites whose church is rooted in a 16th-century movement in Europe known as Anabaptism, also believe singing a “hymn of allegiance” like the national anthem implies a deeper loyalty to country rather than to God.
Black History Month: February 27th
Rebel In Law
On this day in 1872 Charlotte Ray became the first black woman lawyer. She was both a teacher and a student at Howard University while teaching there she registered in the Law Department; aware of the school’s questionable policy on admitting women, she applied under the name of “C.E. Ray” and was admitted. In the law school she specialized in commercial law.
Soon after her admission to the bar, she was forced to give up her practice due to poor business, and by 1879 had returned to New York where she worked as a teacher. After 1895 Ray became active in the National Association of Colored Women.
In March of 2006, The Northeastern University School of Law chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity International chose to honor Ray by naming their newly-chartered chapter after her, in recognition of her place as the first female, African-American attorney.

Black History Month: February 26th
The Greatest
On this day in 1964, the Kentucky boxer known to all as Cassius Clay, changed his name to Muhammad Ali as he accepted Islam and rejected Christianity. “I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and in peace…I’m not a Christian anymore.”
Muhammad Ali would go on to become a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, who is widely considered one of the greatest heavyweight championship boxers of all time. As an amateur, he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
In 1967, Ali refused to be inducted into the U.S. military based on his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War. He was arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges, stripped of his boxing title, and his boxing license was suspended. He was not imprisoned, but did not fight again for nearly four years while his appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it was successful.
Ali was involved in several historic boxing matches against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. He suffered only five losses while amassing 56 wins. In 1999, Ali was crowned “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated.
Former San Antonio Spur Charged In Sex Ring Bust
ALLLLVVIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!!
Former San Antonio Spurs Alvin Robertson has been charged with sexual assault of a child, trafficking an underage child for purposes of sex and forcing a sexual performance by a child.
The charges were contained in an arrest warrant Friday. Robertson has not been apprehended.
Authorities claim the 47-year-old former Spurs star was part of a ring that kidnapped a 14-year-old girl from San Antonio, forced her to have sex with clients and to dance at a Corpus Christi strip club last year.
The girl escaped her alleged captors, prompting an investigation. Seven people have been charged, including Robertson’s girlfriend, and he’s the only one who has not been arrested.
The seventh overall pick in the 1984 draft, Robertson averaged 14 points over 10 seasons and was voted to four All-Star Games.
The most alarming thing about the former Spur is his credit report, lets take a look:
- Robertson spent a month in jail during the 1990 NBA off-season for beating his then-wife.
- In August 1997 he pled no contest to four misdemeanor charges of abusing a former girlfriend and was sentenced to one year in prison.
- Robertson was arrested again in San Antonio in January 2007, on a variety of charges, several related to domestic violence.
- And you can forget his late night ecstasy binges out at Canyon Lake.
- In addition to possessing that kind of terrible credit report is that according to quite a number of my female stripper friends is that he is a bad stripper tipper. Nothing says your a bad guy more than being a bad stripper tipper. Come on!

The Official Song Of The John Wall Dance
It’s definitely Friday because that’s gotta explain why I’m helping kill hip hop by posting this stupid video by Raleigh, North Carolina artist Cash. The problem with these dance video songs is that they get played out so quick. Quicker than it takes me to eat a piece of cake. Are you still doing the Ricky Bobby, no. How about the Stanky Leg, not unless your name is Bobby Hebert. Halle Berry ain’t even doing the Halle Berry anymore.
There corny and won’t go away. But I’ll tell you who will be going away and that’s Cash, just like those Ed Hardy tees. The both will be played out and a thing of the past by end of 2010.
Juvenile Arrested For Weed Possession
Reality Check
Juvenile was arrested on misdemeanor drug charges in his New Orleans hometown.
Authorities say that the former Hot Boy was busted in a home studio on 208 Livingston Ave in the St. Bernard Parish. Apparently someone smelled marijuana coming from the residence and called the local sheriff’s drug line. Upon visiting the house, a deputy with the Special Investigations Unit also smelled the drug when the door was opened and got a warrant to search the house.
Juvie wasn’t the only person in the house that was busted, his producer Leroy Edwards was also put in cuffs.

Did Liddell know about the video? Turns out this is some genius plan of someone at Reebok for a viral campaign.
I wonder if Northcott ever used to do workout nude with her ex-boyfriend Jose Canseco?

Nike Unveils United States World Cup Team Kits
I would totally cop one if polyester didn’t look so nasty on how it wraps itself around the skin of fat people. Fat asses like myself should never wear polyester it’s absolutely horrifying. Clint Dempsey pulls it off though.
Nike Unveils New World Cup Team Kits
The wait is over and Nike has unveiled its 2010 series of national football team kits for this years World Cup in South Africa. The design is said to be recycled polyester produced from up to eight recycled plastic bottles.
Suppliers to Nike sourced discarded plastic bottles from Japanese and Taiwanese landfill sites, before melting them down to produce new yarn for conversion into jersey fabric. Nike claims the process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing virgin polyester and says it prevented nearly 13m plastic bottles from going into landfill sites.
Specifically, each of the kits features Nike Dri-Fit fabric, some 15% lighter than previous versions and which draws sweat to the outside of the garment where it evaporates. Air flow has also been increased 7%, while ventilation zones consists of up to 200 tiny laser-cut holes.
The shoes are the Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II which features Nike Sense adaptive traction technology. That technology is a system that allows the show to adjust itself based on the field’s conditions.
Nike will supply national team kits in South Africa to the squads of the Netherlands, Portugal, United States, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Serbia and Slovenia.
Slovenia's Robert Koren, Australia's Vince Grella, U.S.A.'s Clint Dempsey, Portugal's Nani, Brazil's Pato, Netherlands Edson Braafheid, South Korea's Chung-Yong Lee, New Zealand's Ryan Nelson, and Serbia's Nenad Milijas.

Black History Month: February 25th
My Hero
Martin Luther King Jr. an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights icon.
A Baptist minister that was ordained on February 25th 1948, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. King’s efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.
By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.

Witnesses In Murder Trial Of Darrent Williams Sent To Jail For Refusing To Testify
Give His Family Justice
The first witness who can place Willie Clark inside the white Chevrolet Tahoe used in the drive-by shooting of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams admitted she was drunk and high on New Year’s Eve 2006.
Raven Dennis, who testified she is sure that a man wearing big sunglasses was sitting in the front passenger seat, had difficulty remembering additional details of the night because she had eight to nine shots of gin within a two-hour period and smoked marijuana.
Mario Anderson and Kataina “Markie” Jackson-Keeling where subpoenaed by the prosecutors to testify in Clark’s trial, refused and were held in contempt of court. They already had been indicted on perjury charges and accused by prosecutors of lying to a Denver grand jury about the events of that night.
“At this time I have no choice other than to find you both in direct contempt,” Judge Christina M. Habas said. “I have given you both a lawful order. I am ordering you both be remanded immediately in Denver County Jail unless and until you decide to testify and comply with my order.”
Habas may hold them in jail until they decide to testify and can also jail them after the trial if she deems it necessary. Habas said she intends to bring Anderson and Jackson-Keeling to court each morning of the trial to ask them whether they have changed their minds.
Clark, 26, is charged with first-degree murder, 16 counts of attempted murder and other criminal counts that could land him in prison for life. At least 15 shots were fired into Williams’ limousine carrying 16 other people. Two other victims were wounded by gunfire.
