A Thin Line...Between Love & Hate

Somebody's going to die....in this volatile relationship.

We've seen it before.   Jealousy....followed by arguing.....followed by physicality.

I won't end well.

Brandon Marshall of Miami Dolphins Stabbed by Wife, Police Say

The wife of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall stabbed the NFL star with a kitchen knife, according to police.

Michi Nogami-Marshall, who married Marshall last July, was arrested Friday night for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, reports Sportsillustrated.com.

"This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family, thankfully he will make a full recovery," Marshall's agent said in a statement.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office arrest report noted that evidence at the crime scene did not support Marshall's earlier claim that his injuries had been caused by falling on a broken glass vase. Nogami-Marshall, 26, told police she was defending herself from Marshall, 27, according to the report.

She is currently being held in jail under a $7,500 bond.

This isn't the first time the couple have been in trouble with police. In March 2009, a fight between the couple, who were engaged at the time, resulted in Marshall's arrest for misdemeanor battery, SI.com reports. Charges were dropped when neither party agreed to testify.

"Nappy Headed Ho".....

What a difference four years makes.  Time....has a way of dealing with ...stuff.

That phrase,  "Nappy headed Ho"....cost a man his job.

Now.....it's just a punch line in a popular NBC sitcom.

Tracy Morgan turns 'nappy-headed ho' into a punchline on '30 Rock'

By David Hinckleytracy morgan.jpg

The phrase “nappy-headed ho” wasn’t a joke to radio host Don Imus, his critics or his supporters in 2007 when it got him fired from WFAN and MSNBC.

Last night on the NBC sitcom “30 Rock,” it became one.

Or at least the setup for one.

On the 100th“30 Rock” show, a double-length production even more packed than usual with inside jokes and internal references, one of the running gags was that comedian Tracy Morgan’s character, Tracy Jordan, was threatening to quit the show because he couldn’t get anyone upset at him.

That was part of a larger gag, also driven by Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy character, that it’s impossible to be taken seriously when you’re a TV actor.

In any case, Morgan/Jordan lamented that one point that he had called someone a “nappy-headed ho,” but even that didn’t get people angry, “because apparently it’s okay” if he says it.

Imus triggered a firestorm in April 2007 when he offhandedly repeated the incidental description of the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.”

He apologized, though it didn’t save his job, and since he returned to the radio in his present position as WABC morning host, he has pointedly steered away from that sort of reference.

A Different Kind of Race

Carl Lewis Senate: Runner Cleared To Seek Office In New Jersey

Carl Lewis
By ANGELA DELLI SANTI   04/20/11 07:33 PM ET   AP


TRENTON, N.J. -- Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis should be allowed to continue his bid for the New Jersey Senate because Republicans have failed to prove he doesn't live in the state, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Administrative Law Judge John Schuster III recommended that a petition to strip Lewis' name from the June primary ballot be dismissed.
The judge cautioned that he had not found that Lewis, among the greatest athletes of all time, had attained residency status – only that the challengers didn't meet the burden of proof that he lives elsewhere.

"Petitioners have not met their burden to demonstrate respondent has not attained resident status to seek state Senate office," the judge wrote in a 10-page ruling issued Wednesday.

Lewis, who as a track star in the 1980s and '90s was noted for his blistering pace and dominance of the long jump and 100-meter dash, is a Democrat making his first run for elected office. Republicans challenged his bid to run in the primary by claiming he had not lived in the state the required four years.

The judge, who heard the case only a day before he issued his nonbinding decision, said the time constraints prohibited a record from being fully developed. That could be significant as his initial decision on Lewis' political future is forwarded to Republican Secretary of State Kim Guadagno, who's required to adopt, modify or reject it by Thursday's deadline.

Guadagno's decision can be appealed to the Appellate Division.

Lewis said Wednesday that he was pleased with the judge's decision and was confident the secretary of state, who's also the lieutenant governor, would uphold it.

"The voters want to know where the candidates stand on the serious issues facing New Jersey and their visions for the future," Lewis said. "They're not interested in partisan sideshows that distract from that important discussion."

F-Bombs.....From Kobe

Kobe Bryant......was just a little upset last night....and directed his anger toward a referee.

Of course......TMZ.com.....caught the whole episode.

It's.......what they do:

Kobe Bryant -- I Didn't Mean To Offend Anyone

Kobe Bryant has issued a statement about his homophobic outburst during last night's Lakers game -- essentially admitting to using the word "f**got" and explaining, “What I said last night should not be taken literally."

0413-kobe-technical-tmt-ex-5-credit

Kobe continues, "My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. "

He adds, "The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone.”

As we previously reported, Kobe mouthed the words, "f**king f**got" towards an NBA referee last night after he was hit with a technical foul.

Just what is.......a government ...."shut down"?

Glad I did my taxes.....early......You?

Looks like tomorrow.....I have to crank up the lawn mower....for the first time in 6 months.

My daughter went to Florida......spring break....and all I got was a t-shirt and a shot glass.

In her defense.....that's all I asked for.   I was just thrilled.....that she had a wonderful time.  She deserved it.


I want some.....vacation time....

Georgia interstate 85........is fun to drive......

I-285.......in the ATL......is like a NASCAR race.......

Mrs. James.....Should Have Stayed in....Ohio

Every family has one.....

That one family member constantly embarrassing the rest of the family with stupid actions.

But ......a mother?

She should know better!

From TMZ.com:

LeBron on Mom's Arrest -- It's A 'Sensitive Subject'

LeBron James broke his silence after the Miami Heat's practice today -- calling his mother's arrest early this morning "a sensitive subject" ... and insisting it's "being taken care of."

0407_lebron_mom_BN_Getty

LeBron told reporters, “You have to move forward ... It is my life and there’s certain things you have to deal with. You try not to let it be a distraction. I have a job to do, still.”

He continued, “It’s very sensitive because it’s your mother. Of course to have an incident, it’s very sensitive. But the people around me are helping me."

As we previously reported, LeBron's mom was arrested this morning for allegedly assaulting a parking valet outside a Miami hotel. She was processed and released.
