“War is nothing to be played with. I apologize North Korea........but if y'all do bomb 1st... Bomb Foxboro, Mass.”

“PatsFans i lo...like yall also. ask any1 in my fam. ive said TheBoro is my fav place to play-bkuz you Pats fans are Live! BUT not for long.”
We're not sure what that means, but this is Stevie Johnson. The guy blamed God in 2010 for a dropped touchdown pass.

Male Baldness, Heart Attack Risk Linked: New Study

Men losing their hair may have bigger concerns than looking like George Costanza. A new study finds that balding men share a greater risk of having a heart attack.
The more hair lost, the more serious the risk.

After reviewing six studies with a total of almost 37,000 participants, researchers found no connection to heart disease for men with a receding hairline.
But men who had lost most of their hair were 32 percent more likely to develop coronary artery disease than their friends who managed to hang onto their hair.

The researchers' findings - at the University of Tokyo, but including four U.S. sample groups - were published this week in the online UK journal BMJ Open.
When the analysis looked only at men under 55, a similar pattern emerged.
Bald or balding men were 44 percent more likely to develop the disease.
Time and again, researchers verified that the severity of baldness was related to the level of risk of coronary heart disease among various age groups.
The same goes for different balding patterns, with some variation.
Men with both frontal and crown-top baldness were 69 percent more likely to develop coronary artery disease than those with a full head of hair.
Those with just crown-top baldness were 52 percent more likely to do so. Those with just frontal baldness were 22 percent more likely to develop heart problems.
Researchers offered various explanations for their findings.
They said that baldness may indicate insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes; a state of chronic inflammation; or increased sensitivity to testosterone.
All of which are connected either directly or indirectly with the promotion of heart disease, according to a press release. However, they concluded:
"[Our] findings suggest that vertex baldness (balding at the crown) is more closely associated with systemic atherosclerosis than with frontal baldness."
"Thus, cardiovascular risk factors should be reviewed carefully, especially by younger men [who should] probably be encouraged to improve their cardiovascular risk profile."

With Kim Kardashian reportedly packing on anywhere from 10 to 200 pounds, the bang-able baton has officially been passed, according to Life & Style:
Khloe Kardashian is now the hottest sister in this family!

So screams that tabloid's latest cover, which is all about Khloe's weight loss and how she recently shed 25 pounds.
How has she done it?

"Everything in moderation," says Khloé, stating the obvious and adding that she also has a personal trailer. "Right now, I try to go on hikes or something. I work out at least four to five days a week."
Got that, folks? Eat in moderation and exercise. Truly revolutionary stuff here!
Kardashian has often been compared negatively to her siblings, with many even wondering if Khloe has a different father, which is something that continually irks the brunette.
"When I was a chunky little 8-year-old and I had these two beautiful sisters [Kim and Kourtney], I'd wonder, why don't I look like that?" she tells Life & Style. "I hate it when people compare me to my sisters...I will never look like them."
But is she now the hottest among them? You decide!

Brian Banks Signs NFL Contract; Exonerated Star to Play For Atlanta Falcons

Former California high school football star Brian Banks wore a prison uniform for five-plus years, serving time for a rape he did not commit.
This fall, he'll be wearing a different uniform - for the Atlanta Falcons.

Ten months after a California judge tossed out his conviction, the 27-year-old, 6'2", 250-pound linebacker signed a deal to play for the NFL team.
"Aside from getting my life back and my freedom back, this is the biggest accomplishment of my life," he told reporters during a conference call.
His sweatshirt featured a California license plate reading "XONR8."

"We are pleased to have Brian join our team," said Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff this week. "We had a chance to work him out last year."
"He has worked extremely hard. We are happy that Brian will have a chance to live out his dream, and we look forward to seeing him on the field."
A year ago, he was out of prison on parole, wearing an ankle monitor as a registered sex offender. The contrast with this week's events is "surreal," Banks said.
"Talk about coming from the bottom," he told reporters after signing his deal.
"I know all too well what that is and what it looks like and what it feels like."
While serving time in prison for a rape he was accused of committing in 2002, Banks said he was forced to abandon his hopes of playing in the NFL someday.
At age 17, fearing a potentially long sentence, the USC prospect pleaded no contest to assaulting a Long Beach, Calif., high school classmate.
Banks was faced with an impossible decision - fight the charges and risk spending 41 years to life, or take a plea deal and spend a little over five years.
Although it would mean destroying his chance to go to college and pro, Banks chose the lesser of two evils when he pleaded no contest to the charges."
Despite the guilty plea, Brian Banks maintained his innocence throughout his imprisonment, subsequent probation and registration as a sex offender.
The fallen football star'sfortunes began to change in 2011, when the woman who once accused him of rape sent him a Facebook friend request.
According to the California Innocence Project, the woman later admitted that Banks had not kidnapped or raped her during a consensual encounter.
In court last year, an emotional Banks lowered his head and fought back tears when prosecutors said they were moving to have the conviction dismissed.
"We do not believe that Mr. Banks did the crime he pleaded guilty to," Deputy District Attorney Brentford Ferreira said. "Justice has been served."
Since his exoneration, Banks has spent months in intensive training, attending San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks minicamps last year.
"It's been a long road. It's been a lot of hard work. It is 10 years missing in my football career," he said, "but there has been a lot of work put in to making up for it."
After signing his contract with the Falcons Wednesday, Banks thanked the team's players and personnel from his Twitter account, @BrianBanksFREE.
Good luck Brian.

Jada Pinkett Smith Hints at Open Marriage with Will

So much for talk of a Will Smith divorce due to infidelity.
In an interview with The Huffington Post this week, Jada Pinkett Smith implied that it would be impossible for one side of her relationship to cheat on the other… because they have an open marriage!
Sort of!

"I think that people get that idea because Will and I are very relaxed with one another," the actress said of the open marriage rumor. "But I've always told Will: You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay."

Jada, of course, was the one accused of cheating with Marc Anthony not long after the latter singer split from Jennifer Lopez.
But Smith made it sound like her marriage is strong, referring to Will as her "best friend" and emphasizing the freedom each allows the other to enjoy:
"At the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa."
Jada Pinkett Smith also made her voice heard a couple weeks ago, sticking up for Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift in the face of those young stars facing a lot of criticism.
