Details emerge in Jovan Belcher murder-suicide


The Kansas City Star has uncovered the details of the events that led Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher to murder Kasandra Perkins, his 22-year-old girlfriend and mother of their 3-month-old daughter, before taking his own life in front of GM Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and linebackers coach Gary Gibbs at Chiefs headquarters on Saturday. According to the report, the couple had argued over relationship and financial issues for months before the tragic events unfolded on Saturday. The Chiefs were aware of the off-field issues that their 25-year-old linebacker was having and "were bending over backwards" to help Belcher, Police Sgt. Richard Sharp said. [Related: Charles, Perkins, Belcher families open up about murder-suicide] The couple argued early Saturday morning after Perkins attended a Trey Songz concert and had drinks with friends, while Belcher reportedly "partied" in Kansas City's Power & Light District on Friday night. According to the Associated Press, police found Belcher asleep in his car outside an apartment building at nearly 3 a.m. Belcher said he was there to visit his girlfriend, but she wasn't home. After police determined that Belcher had no warrants, he made a phone call and was let into the building by a woman. According to the AP report, Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m. Upon his arrival back at his home, Belcher and Perkins argued again, with Belcher's mother hearing her son say something along the lines of "You can't talk to me like that" before pulling the trigger. From the Kansas City Star: Seconds after fatally shooting his longtime girlfriend, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher leaned over her in their master bathroom, said he was sorry and kissed her on the forehead. His mother, who heard gunfire as she stood in the kitchen, rushed to her son's bedroom and watched his remorseful goodbye. Belcher apologized to his mother, kissed his 3-month-old daughter and fled his rented home in the 5400 block of Crysler Avenue in his Bentley. The report goes on to state that Belcher drove the five miles to the team's headquarters, where he met Pioli in the parking lot. Belcher exited his vehicle with a gun pointed at his head and told Pioli that he had killed his girlfriend. Belcher, who signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Maine, thanked Pioli for all he had done for him and asked that he and owner Clark Hunt look after his daughter. Pioli and Crennel attempted to dissuade Belcher from committing suicide, but as police closed in, Belcher reportedly said "I got to go...I can't be here" before kneeling down behind a vehicle, making the sign of the cross and firing a single bullet into his head.

Embarrassing Photo Of Spurs Players Leaked


The San Antonio Spurs' bad week just got a whole lot worse.

Days after commissioner David Stern fined the team $250,000 for sitting its star players during a nationally televised game with the Miami Heat, a less-than-pleasant photo of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker has surfaced online that is sure to cause the organization another headache.

The image, which first appeared on Reddit, appears to have been taken on Halloween.

It shows Parker and Duncan, both in costume, pointing toy guns at the head of a man dressed as NBA referee Joey Crawford.

Crawford can be one of the league's more controversial referees, and once he even ejected Duncan from a game while the Spurs big man was on the bench. The league suspended Crawford for the incident.

Lightning appears to have struck the Spurs twice in the span of a few days, which is somewhat surprising for a team that has managed to avoid negative press during coach Gregg Popovich's tenure.

Katt Williams slaps Target employee.






A Target employee was the victim of a slap from comedian, Katt Williams, TMZ reports Dec. 2. This all went down after police chased him on his three-wheeled motor tricycle in Sacramento last Sunday. After the incident, Katt went to a Target store where things got worse.

In the video seen on TMZ, the employee was talking with Katt, but no audio is heard. It appears as though the comedian is being confrontational as the employee is talking calmly to him. For no reason at all, Katt slaps the man. The worker then pulls out his phone and calls police as Katt stands there. After a few moments he hops in an electric cart and leaves before police arrive. He reportedly wasn't arrested.

Cops halted the chase last Sunday of Katt on his three-wheeled cycle for public safety reasons, but want the DA to charge him with felony evasion. It looks like Target employee who took a slap from Katt Williams could charge him with assault.

Will there be consequences for this comedian's actions or will he get away with this bad behavior? What would cause this Hollywood star to act out in such a bizarre and unexplained manner?

And most importantly, why was he shopping at Target?

Fondle me Elmo, The Elmo crisis.

OK OK OK, I love Elmo, my kids love Elmo, hell my grand mama loves Elmo. But I just can not wrap my mind around these allegations against of sexual misconduct against Kevin Clash, creator of the Elmo character. It just does not make sense, how can a consenting adult or consenting teen of legal age turn around and bring lawsuits for millions in damages? 5 million in damages to be exact.

Dr Boyce makes a great point about this in branding terms, he writes, 'So, the curious case of Kevin Clash is a lesson for business students everywhere about the importance of brand management. We don’t know who the faces are behind Big Bird, Grover, The Cookie Monster or even Kermit the Frog. The reason that the faces of the men and women behind these characters are not presented to the public is likely because Sesame Street doesn’t want to destroy the reputations of innocent (and profitable) puppets by forcing them to be accountable for someone else’s behavior.

I’m curious to see how things work out for Clash, and I’m also wondering how things are going to go with his feature film. Whether or not the allegations are true, we will never look at Elmo the same.'




There will be plenty of news fodder about this in the upcoming days, haha maybe this is to distract us from our rapidly approaching December 12 apocalypse.
