Usain Bolt ended his six-month relationship with a  Slovakian fashion designer in order to focus on the Summer Olympics. Bolt is determined to get another double-gold world record in London, and it seems he can’t do it —if he’s “doing it”.
A source close to Bolt told The Sun, “He will have plenty of time for relationships. At the moment he’s concentrating on his running career and doesn’t want anything to distract from that.”
Well, alrighty then!
Bolt, you better win in London. Dropping “Goldie Locks” Â for the “gold” better be worth it.
With the Atlanta Falcons decline and new team vacancy for HBO’s Hard Knocks, many fans have pushed for their team to be cast under the spotlight. This reality sports documentary series captures the raw culture of the NFL during the off-season and training days.
Given our less than squeaky clean run-in with the law, the Bengals on Hard Knocks would capture more than just the irony but maybe shed some light of the hard work the team has done and adversity they’ve had to fight through. The Bengals franchise has been through a face lift since last featured on Hard Knocks in 2009 (which won a Sports Emmy for that series) and can be refreshing to see dedicated players rather than distraction and disappointing endings.
The truth of the matter is, the Bengals have had 25 recorded arrest since 2006 dealing with a plethora of charges including: assault, marijuana trafficking, and DUI, just to name a few. The Bengals are ranked among the top in the NFL of arrest since 2000. Not the right kind of “hard knocks” you want to see on a professional football team and may be the reason the nation tuned in when the Bengals were the featured team just a few years ago.
Rey Maualuga, who was most recently cited in February for misdemeanor assault after allegedly punching a bar employee in the face, talked with HBO about some different experiences he’s had as a Bengal.
Also featured is former Bengals QB, Carson Palmer and camera shy Chad Johnson (now a wide-receiver with the New England Patriots.)
The owner, Mike Brown, and head coach Marvin Lewis can use this as a tool to show the strides they are making to push those mistakes behind them. They have brought in rookies with huge potential and are coming off a season who made it to the playoffs. The Bengals are a rising team and need something like this to set the bar higher for themselves and come to the realization that the NFL, and fans, expect more from the Bengals then just jail birds when off the field. Though this misbehaving might be seen as entertaining, performance when they are on the turf is much more valuable to the City of Cincinnati.
I must leave you, though, with the fact that the Bengals did use their first draft pick (17th overall) for rookie cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who was arrested for marijuana possession in January. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief. Whether or not he will be a problem for the Bengals is unsure and we can only hope he can break through the Bengals Nation negative stereotypes.
Other possible candidates for the 2012 Hard Knocks series include not just one but both Harbaugh brothers. Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of the 49er’s, and the Ravens head coach Jim Harbaugh would make the series interesting if featured together. The Arizona Cardinals have also been rumored to be interested. The New York Jets finally ruled out of race to be next for Hard Knocks via Pro Football Talk.

With all of the criticism of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in recent months, the one man who has probably talked to Goodell the most when it comes to punishments and fines wrote the Commissioner a “heartfelt” letter about what he thinks he should do about the future of the NFL.
Ochocinco placed the letter to the man whom he claims to have a “father/son relationship” on his website, OCNNReport.com. Before starting the letter Ochocinco explained to the many fans and viewers of his site: “Many of you know I have a father son relationship with Roger Goodell. I love him and just had to reach out to him with all that is going on. We are at a crucial point in the history of football. The foundation of the game is in jeopardy based on all these factors and the future of the game is going to be shaped by him.”
And then he posted the following:
Dear Dad,
I know it has been a rough week, so I wanted to reach out. Players dying, players suing and on top of that my peers are just going off on you in the media. It does not help that ESPN has all of a sudden become Medical TV with damn near every brain expert on the planet. This has got to be the worst week ever. Since no one is showing any support, I figured I would be the first. You are in one big ass catch 22 and quite frankly, I am not sure there is any solution. One thing I think can help is killing the NFL PR machine.
Y’all do a darn near perfect job at portraying this game as one played by heroes.
But let’s be real dad. This is a nasty, dirty and violent game with consequences. Sign up or go get a regular job. Watch it or turn off the TV and go fishing with your kids. It is really that simple. I know there are probably legal and financial implications that prevent this blunt depiction, but am not sure if you have a choice. If you don’t say it now, the mounting evidence being revealed publicly will say it for you very soon. In all, I love you and if anyone can lead us out of this mess, it will be you. Oh by the way, I have a deal for you. Am having a rebound year and plan to do a lot of celebrating in the end zone. Can my fine money go to supporting ex-players suffering?
Sincerely,
Chad
There has been no comment from Goodell of whether he has received the letter or plans to adhere to the things that Ochocinco mentioned in his letter. It’s surely interesting to see Ochocinco take this type of approach.
Well Jersey Girls, its only getting hotter so you what that means…..break out your shorts! Now we all know shorts come in different lengths and styles, but if worn right, it can be chic, fresh, and trendy. If worn wrong its, well trampy. Let make those shorts classy.
So my favorite way to wear shorts is with a blazer. The blazer adds a level of class to the shorts, no matter how short they are.
My second favorite way to wear shorts is with a vest. Now the addition of a vest brings kind of a rocker / nerdy look.
Finally a sweater makes a pair of shorts look classy and preppy.
Now ladies, you can wear your shorts however with heels, wedge or flip flops but when you add one of the three elements like the blazer, vest or sweater you change the dynamics of your entire outfit. You know me, anything to stand out in a crowd.
