Eve Carson: One Year Later

UNC's Student Body President Eve Carson was murdered one year ago today.

Eve is such an inspiration to a lot of students and it was good to see her represented so well today. Check out the video below. It's the memorial held today at "the Pit" at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Today - the school and media honored Carson's memory.

I hope the guys responsible get what they deserve.

DA: Chris Brown expected in court

That's right y'all... CB is supposed to be in an LA courtroom today!

He is supposed to be in court around 3:30 (turn that into 6:30 our time). All the media is jumping on this and trying to get to the courtroom. But will he really show up?


Brown has been charged with two felonies. Court documents definitely show Rihanna as the victim of the alleged attack. His charges: assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats.

IF... he gets convicted (yes, he gets his day in court, not just in the public eye), he could get anything from probation to almost five years in the slammer!

Honestly, I'd be surprised if he shows up. I think it'll just be his lawyer (unless he HAS to go).

The Queen City... is manly!

I was reading this article earlier today, but Charlotte ranking pretty high on the "Manly" list.

I was planning to blog about it (it was on my list, yes, I make lists) and I heard Candy and Potter talking about it on their radio show.

Thank you Combos (the snack) for listing the manliest cities.

"America's Manliest Cities"

1. Nashville, Tenn.
2. Charlotte, N.C.
3. Oklahoma City, Okla.
4. Cincinnati, Ohio
5. Denver, Colo.
6. St. Louis, Mo.
7. Columbus, Ohio
8. Kansas City, Mo.
9. Indianapolis, Ind.
10. Toledo, Ohio

So how did Charlotte get to be number two?

The "study" looked at the number of U.S.-made cars driven in the city, number of sports bars and BBQ restaurants, number of home improvement and hardware stores as well as manly salty snacks consumption. (of course. Keep in mind this was put out by Combos)

The data was adjusted by the current population of the cities to arrive at "per capita" figures, providing an accurate comparison between cities of varying sizes.

Thank you NASCAR Hall of Fame, Lowes, Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Bobcats and uptown bars like Champions, Stool Pigeons, Jocks and Jills and Wild Wing! You make the Queen City sound less feminine.

Funniest quote: "Nashville is the Mecca of manliness. With its high number of NASCAR enthusiasts, popularity of hunting and fishing and concentration of BBQ restaurants, the Music City stands alone atop the mountain of manliness."

T.O. is O.U.T.!

Once again, Terrell Owens is parting ways with his team.

First, the Eagles - now the Cowboys.

I was reading this in "The Huddle"

ESPN and Fox Sports is saying T.O. is out, but the team still isn't talking yet. Speaking of talking -- if T.O. would keep his mouth shut now and then -- maybe his team and teammates would like him better.

I know football players are supposed to be cocky and all -- but there is a difference between being cocky and being an ass. For example - T.O. = Ass. Steve Smith = Cocky.

But the difference... Smith is cocky, but knows when to keep his mouth shut, and when to give his team credit... and he's great with the community.

I can handle cocky, but when you're an ass, I'm done. Peace T.O.!

Also a good read... Scott Fowler's Panthers and T.O.? Oh no. Why the Panthers should NOT pick up T.O.

Three football players missing

This is crazy stuff -- three men are missing after their boat flipped over Saturday night. A fourth person with them was found clinging to an overturned boat this morning off Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The group went out for a weekend fishing trip -- the boat flipped and three went missing.

Survivor Nick Schuyler, a former University of South Florida player, told rescuers that the 21-foot boat was anchored when it flipped Saturday evening in rough seas and that the others got separated from the boat.

The boat belongs to Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, who along with free-agent defensive lineman Corey Smith and former South Florida player William Bleakley, remain missing.


Schuyler’s mother, Marsha Schuyler, said her son told her that he survived by thinking about how he didn’t want her to go to his funeral.

You guys might remember Corey Smith -- he was a standout at NC State.

Lets hope they find the guys soon.
