With Barber’s difficult love life and missteps during his short career as an NFL media analyst the New York public appear to have fallen out of love with their former hero running back. On a CBS sports radio show in May 2013 Barber asked his twin brother, former Tampa Baby Buccaneers star Ronde Barber why he was not loved by NFL fans like his brother is. Ronde blamed the New York public for the problems with Tiki’s image.

Tsarnaev friend killed in Orlando during shootout with police

The shooting happened Wednesday night, according to our affiliate WFTV, in Orlando. A friend of the man killed, says his name is Ibragim Todashev. Authorities say the man was being questioned in connection with the Boston Bombings. Khusen Taramov, a friend of the suspect, says Todashev had a ticket to New York, and from there planned to return home to Chechnya. Taramov says the authorities asked Todashev to stay for further questioning. Taramov also said Todashev was an MMA fighter, like bombing suspect Tsarnaev.

NBC reported:

A friend of the suspect, Khusn Taramiv, said his friend, 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters.

Taramiv claims he and Todashev were interviewed by the FBI for nearly three hours on Tuesday.

“(The FBI) took me and my friend, the suspect that got killed. They were talking to us, both of us, right? And they said they need him for a little more, for a couple more hours, and I left, and they told me they’re going to bring him back. They never brought him back,” Taramiv said.

“He felt inside he was going to get shot,” Taramiv said about Todashev. “I told him, ‘Everything is going to be fine, don’t worry about it.’ He said, ‘I have a really bad feeling.’”

Taramiv said he left the interview and when he came back to the apartments he found that there had been a shooting.

“I was completely shocked. I still can’t believe it, you know what I mean?” he said.

WFTV says the FBI swarmed Todashev’s apartment complex, Windhover Condominiums near Kirkman Avenue, just before Midnight Wednesday. In a statement, the FBI confirmed one of their agents was involved in the shooting. The FBI says their agent was conducting official duties when he opened fire on the man.

Pitt slams Aniston marriage

And his verdict is: He is a much happier man now. On sharing his life now with wife Angelina Jolie and their sizable brood, he said in the recent issue of Esquire magazine, “I haven’t known life to be any happier,” he says. “I’m making things. I just haven’t known life to be any happier.”

Pitt offers some surprising revelations in his Esquire interview, but doesn’t go into too much detail. He alludes to some drug use in the past – “For a long time I thought I did too much damage – drug damage. I was a bit of a drifter. A guy who felt he grew up in something of a vacuum and wanted to see things, wanted to be inspired.” – and being deeply unhappy before his marriage to Jolie. Pitt states, “I spent years f–king off, but then I got burnt out and felt that I was wasting my opportunity.” This was, according to Pitt, “about a decade ago,” which would have been during his marriage to Aniston.

Speaking about his life now, Pitt can’t help but rave. “I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big,” he tells Esquire of his home life. “I wanted there to be chaos in the house…There’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging. I love it. I love it. I love it.”

On Wednesday he became the first pitcher at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, Calif., ever to pitch a perfect game. What’s more, he did it in only 66 pitches, reports Yahoo News.

As reported by the San Jose Mercury News, Strem led his Lancers to victory over the Monta Vista Matadors in the first round of the California Central Coast Section Division 1 playoffs. His performance included 48 strikes and 8 strikeouts in the 7-inning game. Strem retired 21 batters for an average of just 3 pitches per batter.

The Matadors hung tough, however, keeping the game tied until the 6th inning, when Mark Cardinalli drove in 2 runs for the Lancers. Monta Vista’s pitcher Peter Stern allowed only 3 hits and had 8 strikeouts.

Strem’s overall record is 28-4-0 and his league record is 11-3-0. He ranks #8 in California and #30 nationwide. He’s also a heavy hitter, with a batting average of .400.

The top-seeded St. Francis Lancers ended the game with a 2-0 victory over 16th-seeded Monta Vista. They’ll move on to play either Valley Christian in San Jose or Wilcox in Santa Clara in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

A 66-pitch perfect game is an amazing acheivement! contrats Michael!

When the time was right he dropped to one knee and popped the big question of “Will you marry me?” Once he opened the ring box everything went wrong. The ring flew out of the box and fell through a crack in the bridge. Immediately Walling climbed onto the bridge looking for the ring.

While he was on the bridge onlookers got the wrong idea and assumed that he was attempting to commit suicide. This resulted in people telling him not to jump. Soon police arrived on the scene. Once police discovered what was going on they stopped traffic on the bridge so that the ring could be found.

After some searching the ring was found. The ring was slightly damaged from being run over by a car. All diamonds were intact but the setting experienced some damage.

According to the groom to be this entire thing was not his fault. He blames the ring box for this proposal disaster.

Overall this is quite a story and an unforgettable proposal.

ESPN layoffs will eliminate jobs from its workforce of 7,000 employees

“The majority of the layoffs today and tomorrow are in Technology…something like 40 people, at least that’s what I’ve heard,” the source told Deadspin. “All three HR people assigned to Technology are handling layoffs today and tomorrow. No idea what is going on in the other departments. I was told ESPN was forced, by Disney, to do the layoffs due to profit margins. The end numbers / percentages, may not be exactly what they’re telling us as we’re being laid off.”

Shortly thereafter ESPN released a statement regarding the layoffs explaining that they are seeking to enhance their growth while keeping managing costs under control.

“We are implementing changes across the company to enhance our continued growth while smartly managing costs, “the sports media giant said in a statement Tuesday. ” While difficult, we are confident that it will make us more competitive, innovative and productive.”

The sports broadcaster added that although lay-offs are difficult, they believe that it will help make them more productive and competitive overall. The company did not release an exact number, but many are speculating that about 300 to 400 people will be affected.

One laid-off employee stated that they were told the broadcast network had chosen to cut 10% across the entire board. The employee also stated that he was told that the company needed to make the cuts in order to reach their profit margin.

The laid-off ESPN employee writes: “I was laid off from ESPN today (Tuesday) after 9 and a half years. Completely out of the blue, no warning at all. I was told it was 10% across the board, which would be roughly 400. I was told the reason was they needed to make their profit margin and they chose to do that via layoff of staff.” Deadspin

While the news of ESPN Layoffs may come as a shock, it does not to industry experts that are aware of Disney owned conglomerates. Disney owns 80% of ESPN and has been forcing cuts in many divisions. Walt Disney Studios was hit by a large amount of lay-offs as was its newly purchased LucasArts studio.

The last time that ESPN intuited any large scale lay-offs was in 2009 when the company laid off 100 employees, according to the New York Times.

Number is between 300 and 400 but includes open jobs that won’t now be filled. But, @espn will still be hiring, still in growth mode. #ESPN

— James Andrew Miller (@ESPNBook) May 21, 2013

Sources confirm the ESPN layoff reports from @deadspin and @espnbook. Still unclear on how many will be affected.

2 day ferris wheel record set

Clint Shepard, a 32–year-old male operations manager at Chicago’s Navy Pier Lakefront attraction, broke the record in the Guinness Book World Records for the longest Ferris wheel ride.

On the weekend of May 19 through May 21, 2013, Armed Forces weekend, Shepard road the Navy Pier’s 15 story high Ferris wheel for 48 hours straight, breaking the previous record of 30 hours and 35 seconds belonging to a man residing in Canada. Navy Pier had been packed with guest as they offered free admission to military members and their families. It was a perfect day for Shepard to become Navy Pier’s number one attraction.

Shepard had no sleep during this two-day circling adventure. He was, however, entertained by the Navy Pier’s restaurant meals, personal video games, movies and social media. Many fans, friends, videographers, photographers and even the Guinness World record adjudicator went along for a few spins with Shepard. Fans could also talk to Shepard via Twitter asking questions, offering to ride with him and offering encouragement.

Shepard told an NBC Chicago reporter that the reason for breaking the record at the location of the Navy Pier was “Chicago was home to the world’s first Ferris wheel and the title should be here.”

SNL’ Cast Crisis? Who’s Left

The remaining members of SNL include Taran Killam, Vaness Bayer, Bobby Moynihan, Jay Pharaoh, Nasim Pedrad, Kenan Thompson, Cecily Strong, and Kate McKinnon. Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen are supposed to leave the show in the near future. Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg left the show last season to dive into their own personal endeavors.

SNL will not have any other choice but to replace the lost cast members with new players and bring in some new talent. While the other remaining members have been able to carry their own, the show will lose Seth Meyers unique writing and new writers will need to be added to continue the humor.
