Yeah… after this on Monday I can’t be one to talk, but there’s a difference between idiots who assist in broadcasting an athletic event, and athletes themselves.
From Rivals:
Gifted but academically challenged defensive tackle Jerrell Powe traveled a long, well-chronicled road to eligibility at Ole Miss, but since the once-sought-after behemoth finally entered Oxford last fall, all accounts are that he’s is making his way through. Until, that is, campus police showed up at Powe’s apartment in the wee hours Sunday morning to tell him and his friends to turn it down a notch, and Jerrell admitted to a certain … regression:
White asked if Powe would read the bottom of the citation and sign it to ensure he would show up in court, but Powe stated he could not read and would not sign, the report said.
…still makes more sense to me than Joel Osteen.
DME:
As a cameraman, Jasper native Brack Bradley has filmed some of the most popular shows on television.
He’s captured emotional highs and lows on ABC’s “The Bachelor†and “The Bachelorette.â€
He’s captured the fury of Chef Gordon Ramsay on FOX’s “Hell’s Kitchen†and “Kitchen Nightmares.â€
Despite those past experiences, Bradley, a 1998 Walker High School graduate, could have never dreamed up his latest filming foray — The Discovery Channel’s “Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment.â€

Love the Daily Mountain Eagle.
Do we/you know anyone arrested in the recent Jasper drug bust?
I was talking about Friday Night Lights the other day at work when someone asked me “what’s it about?”
Smiling, I answered in Landon-fashion, discussing everything but high school football. (It’s my monthly attempt to flex my intellectual muscles and find a way to work in mentioning my Master’s degree.)
I answer in the same way as I do when someone asked me what Man Men is about. Everyone is tempted to say “It’s about an ad agency in the early 60′s.” But that would be wrong… and right.
In similar fashion, I would say the same for Friday Night Lights.
What is Friday Night Lights about?
I’ve got my answer (albeit an overly long and rambling one). What’s yours?
[Chelsea was not fond of the current found within the Montlake Cut.]
For all that I loathe about President Obama, the high-speed rail proposal has me pretty excited. Consider it the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System of our generation.
Anyone who has ever taken the Eurostar or TGV out of or into London or Paris
Can you imagine Birmingham to Atlanta in 1 hour 45 minutes? Seattle to Portland in 2 hours 45 minutes?
No traffic.
No airport-like security checkpoint.
Wireless Internet.
Food carriage with snacks, meals, and drinks.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Obama might be proposing crazy things, but this is one crazy thing I hope succeeds.
David Beckham’s unsuccessful attempt to break into the Hollywood A-list first started to turn pear-shaped when he was refused a glass of wine at a restaurant because he did not look old enough to drink.
The worst part about having great seats is that when the drunk’s pants fall down after security tackles him on the field, he can’t hear you laughing from so far away.
(Yes, the drunk’s pants fell to his ankles when security was escorting him off the field.)
Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS‖symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there.
Sure hope God doesn’t cover up Obama’s name in the Book of Life.
I’ve got symbol I’d like to cover up for eternity.
…we change the channel for 5 seconds , and Griffey hits his 400th home run as a Mariner. 613 career home runs overall.
