Silent majority claim Old Trafford has been ‘turned into police ...
At a recent Manchester United home match there was a first-time Old Trafford visitor sitting a few rows in front of the press box. You could tell that he was a first-timer because he wore a look last seen on the face of Charlie Bucket on entering Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. As the clock ticked down towards kick-off, he joined in the songs being pumped out over the PA system and tried in vain to use his camera to take the perfect photograph against this famous backdrop. He looked as if he was in heaven. Then the match started and a hush fell over the so-called Theatre of Dreams. As he exhorted his fellow supporters to stand and join in his chants, the middle-aged man began to attract a combination of amusement, bemusement and disdain from those sitting around him. Some looked towards a nearby steward, as if to ask what he planned to do with this upstart.
Holmes of Steel Curtain dies
RAMS OWNERS DIES Georgia Frontiere, the St. Louis native who became a hometown hero when she brought the NFL's Rams from Los Angeles in 1995, died Friday. She was 80. Frontiere had been hospitalized for breast cancer for several months, the Rams said in a statement posted on their Web site. "Our mom was dedicated to being more than the owner of a football team," daughter Lucia Rodriguez and son Chip Rosenbloom said in the statement. "She loved the Rams' players, coaches, and staff. The warmth and generosity she exuded will never be forgotten." The one-time nightclub singer was married seven times, starting at age 15. Her sixth husband, Carroll Rosenbloom, owned the Los Angeles Rams at the time of his drowning death in 1979. The Rams moved twice under Frontiere's leadership, first relocating from the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1980 to Anaheim, 35 miles away.
Daily Blabber Celebrity Gossip Blog from iVillage Entertainment
In today's Cindy Adams column, the gossip diva reported that a large celeb wedding is set to take place "in the next few minutes" in Lake Como, Italy. She didn't know who would be tying the knot, but that "monsignors and bishoplets are running around acting important and hinting and winking. But saying nothing other than 'It's a big American actor.'" Now let's play a little game, shall we? Let's put on our sleuth caps and try to figure out who's getting hitched. I think the biggest clue here is Lake Como. Georgey Clooney has a fancy shmancy villa there, so I'm going to bet it's one of his friends. (It's certainly isn't him! Mr. Bachelor.) Based on that, here some possibilities: Brad & Angelina: Brad is pals with GC, and he and Angie are hotter than ever. (Did you see the photo of him babysitting Maddox and Zahara this week?) But she's filming a movie in NYC right now, which leaves little time for wedding plans.
Express delivery for championship weekend
What about a monster all-football mailbag before we tackle this week's conference championship picks? Is that something you might be interested in? As always, these are actual e-mails from actual readers. Q: Last Sunday's games were a beautiful reminder of why sports is the best reality show of all time, why fans go shirtless in 32-degree weather, why men flock to bars to get wasted and stuff themselves full of buffalo wings, why bookies exist, and why there will be pregame shows with three panels separated in groups of fours some day. You never know. If you told me before the season that Eli -- and not Peyton -- would be playing to go to the Super Bowl, the Chargers would come back to beat Peyton at home with Billy Volek and Norv Turner, and old fogeys in nursing homes would be doing the Superman dance and lining up to buy a Nintendo Wii, I would not only bet my mortgage against those three things, I would have wagered stapling my buns together.
Doug Clark getting patted down????
Good evening, ya'll... I admit, I can two different sides of the video of Doug Clark being patted down by police shortly before climbing into an unmarked police car with Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick, but I am uncertain which truly applies. The first, as viewed through the eyes of a sworn member of the Spokane Police Department is WHY? Doug Clark, as far as I know, has been an upstanding citizen and area resident, has never been arrested, and has been a respected journalist for decades. Any police officer could discover that much within seconds using a city-issued laptop. Then why would an officer pat him down as if he were a felony stop suspect? Read the rest of this entry » .
