Washington Redskins Safety Sean Taylor Dies After Shooting

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died on Nov. 27, a day after he was shot at home. He was 24. Miami-Dade Police are investigating the attack, which came just eight days after an intruder was reported at Taylor’s home. An All-American at the University of Miami, Taylor was drafted by the Redskins as the fifth overall selection in 2004.

Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor died Tuesday after he was shot in his home by an apparent intruder, leaving the Washington Redskins in mourning for a teammate who seemed to have reordered his life since becoming a father. The 24-year-old player died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday. “It is with deep regret that a young man had to come to his end so soon,” father Pedro Taylor said in a statement on behalf of the family. “Many of his fans loved him because the way he played football. Many of his opponents feared him the way he approached the game. Others misunderstood him, many appreciated him and his family loved him.”

A string of mourners, including Taylor’s father, visited the player’s home and embraced outside. Authorities entered the home, but it was unclear what they were doing. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league will honor Taylor’s memory at all games this weekend. “This is a terrible tragedy involving the loss of a young man who leaves behind many people struggling to understand it,” he said in a statement. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said what he would remember most about Taylor was his excitement about playing football. CONTINUE READING

It is satire. Its about the “hating” philosophy that today’s youth believe in. Its about how dumb it is to TRY to ATTRACT hate and WANT people to hate you. Its also about how easy it is to be considered a “hater” (just disagreeing is usually enough), and how there is nothing good about obtaining “hatred” from those around you. -Tre

Hulk Hogan’s Wife Files for Divorce

After 24 years of marriage, Linda Bollea (we know her as “Linda Hogan”) has apparently filed for divorce. I’m sure most of us who tune in to “Hogan Knows Best” on VH1 knew this was going to come sooner or later, especially after that huge wreck Nick was in. Records show that Linda filed divorce papers last Tuesday in Pinellas County. She has been married to Terry Gene Bollea, more famously known as Hulk Hogan, since 1983 and the couple has two children, Brooke, 19, and Nick, 17.

What’s crazy about this whole thing is that a reporter broke the news to Hogan on Friday night, the day after Thanksgiving! He thanked the reporter for the “great information” then called back five minutes later to say:

I’m kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. … Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. … I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here.

Damn, homie!

Here’s Birdman’s latest, “100 Million,” which features Rick Ross, Dre, Young Jeezy & Lil Wayne, off of his new album, “5 Star Stunna” – due in stores December 11th. Now with that said, I’m ready for something … “new” from this guy. I mean really, hearing him talking about all the money he has starts to get old after what … 5, 6, 7 years??? Anyone with me? Don’t tell me I’m alone with this one…

Kimora Lee Simmons in Trouble with Macy’s!The woman behind the Baby Phat women’s clothing line, known as Kimora Lee Simmons, has been slapped with a lawsuit from department store chain Macy’s! Why? Well apparently she has been overcharging said department store for her line of beauty products.

According to The New York Post, Macy’s claims that they signed an agreement with Kimora to supply their store with her beauty products but she allegedly hiked up their prices and refused to pay back the extra profit. Macy’s lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week. Damages being sought by the popular department were not revealed.

Like, real talk … she didn’t think she’d get caught?
