Marshawn Lynch’s First Press Conference As A Raider Was Nothing Short Of Glorious

Is there any question that Marshawn Lynch is going to have the highest selling jersey in the league this year? The city of Oakland alone is going to be buying millions — that’s how much they love this dude.

But simultaneously, that’s how much he loves them.

During his first press conference as an Oakland Raider, Marshawn Lynch was in classic Lynch-mode, delivering hilarious, yet to the point, answers to whatever he was asked.

One of the most poignant insights was what caused Lynch to return to football, and in typically Lynch fashion, it’s actually pretty simple: Marshawn decided he wanted to come back to football when he found out the Raiders were leaving Oakland. If that isn’t love for your city, I don’t know what is.

via UPI:

“I got Oakland behind me, the way we feel about where we’re from and why represent where we’re from so hard is because we know what the struggle is and how we get down,” Lynch told reporters. “So every home game that I get to come to this [expletive] I’m probably gonna be riding with the whole town.”

Lynch, 31, was notorious for his odd interviews during the first nine years of his career.

“This actually born and raised and pissing in them hallways and running down them alley ways,” Lynch told reporters Tuesday. “I really did that right here and I get an opportunity to play here.”

And not only is Lynch giving us vintage Beast Mode behind the podium but on the gridiron as well.

Raiders head coach shared a quick clip of Lynch in practice, and as far as I can tell, he looks as Beast Mode as ever:

It’s GREAT to have you back, Beast Mode.

Philadelphia-based TV reporter Colleen Campbell has been fired from PHL 17 and her profile has been erased by the station’s website after a video showing her abusing city police went viral.

On June 4, Campbell, 28, was removed from the Helium comedy club in Philly during a show featuring comedian Craig Robinson. Campbell’s “loud whispering” was disrupting the audience, according to comedian Wil Sylvince, who recorded her interaction with police. You can watch the video here.

Here’s everything you need to know about Colleen Campbell.


Campbell Cursed At Officers

After Campbell was removed from the club, a police officer approached her. Campbell hurls a string of profane insults at him, saying he’s “a f—ing piece of s–t” and “You’re f—ing c–k suckers. I did not do s–t, I stood there and laughed like the rest of the audience like I should. I did not disrupt anybody.”

The man with Campbell tried to deescalate the situation but the officers says he just wants the two to go. Then Campbell responded, “Or what? Or what, motherf—er? Lick my a–hole. How about that? F–ing piece of s–t. That’s why nobody likes f–ing police…idiots in this f–king town.”

Campbell then makes as if she is going to spit in the face of a club employee at which point the cop handcuffs her. Campbell tells the cops that she works for a news organization and that “no wonder everyone wants to blow [cops’] f–king heads off.”

In his description of the incident, Wil Sylvince, said that Campbell was “very obnoxious” but he didn’t think she was drunk or high.


Campbell Claims She May Have Been Drugged

In a now-deleted Facebook post, Campbell says that she only had one drink and that she may have been drugged. According to Philadelphia Magazine, Campbell wrote:

I had one drink… and since have been fired from my job. I have never acted like this and asked to go to the hospital last night to find out if anything was slipped into my drink.

The reporter later told Philadelphia Magazine that she had a margarita and two shots prior to going to Helium and had two drinks there instead of just the one she claimed.

She said int he interview that no tests had been done to see if she had been drugged.

No. The police told me that it would slow the process. But at the police station, they had trouble taking my blood pressure. It was so high. I was worked up…

The nurse [at the police station] said if I send you to the hospital it will really delay everything. I just wanted to get out of there. I was really worried about my job. She gave me something similar to a Benadryl. Then later I woke up and had a panic attack. I never thought to get any test done.

One of the servers employed at the Helium club, Alexander Jusino, told the New York Post: “I’ve never seen anyone like that before and I’ve been watching people get kicked out of comedy clubs for five years.” Jusino added that he thought Campbell could have been on “some other level.”


Journalist/Bartender

According to her LinkedIn page, Campbell studied broadcast journalism at Temple University and graduated in 2016.

A bio that was written while Campbell was a student says that she is a native of the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. The profile reads, “Colleen developed a passion for telling stories about the city she knows so well… Colleen’s long term career goals include continuing a career in multimedia journalism and possibly earning a degree in Broadcast meteorology.”

Before studying at Temple, Campbell attended Rowan College at Gloucester County. Her bio read:

Multimedia Journalist by day, bartender by night.Proud Temple Owl. Journalism lover.People Person.Traveler/explorer.Foodie.Hairstylist.

In her Philadelphia Magazine interview, Campbell said that her bartending job at the Devil’s Den bar in South Philly has taught her to “know her limits” regarding alcohol.


Social Media

Since the video hit the Internet it has racked up almost 1.5 million views on Facebook. In response, Campbell has deleted her Facebook and Twitter accounts, telling Philadelphia Magazine:

I feel awful. That’s not me or how I speak or how I talk or how I was raised. I had to delete all my social media, because I’m getting threats.

Campbell also took time in the interview to apologize to the officer.


Court Date

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Campbell will appear in court on June 13 to answer to charges of resisting arrest, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.”

A spokeswoman for Campbell’s former employer, PHL 17, told the Inquirer, “Colleen Campbell is no longer employed by PHL17.”

Campbell broke down her firing in her interview, saying:

When I came home, I called my producer to talk about why I was absent. I didn’t realize a video was out. I found out about it later, because HR called me and said I was being terminated. They said there’s a video. I said, “What video?”

Orlando police, airport security and operations staff are currently responding to a security incident at Orlando International Airport.

According to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, a suspicious vehicle was reported in the parking lot around 9:30 AM on Wednesday, June 7.

The vehicle was reported on the Level 1, A Side of the Main terminal. Airport canine teams and bomb squads are sweeping the area. The Orlando Fire Department says they have 13 units on the scene, including bomb squad and hazmat teams.

Everything You Need to Know About Christopher Wray

COED

President Donald Trump has tapped former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Christopher A. Wray as his nominee to replace James Comey as FBI Director. Wray worked with Comey at the Justice Department for two years before serving the last 12 years in private practice.

President George W. Bush selected Wray to lead the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division from 2003 to 2005. Since then, he has been a partner at King & Spalding and also acted as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s personal lawyer during the Bridgegate scandal.

Here’s everything you need to know about Wray.


Wray Offered to Resign With Comey Over Wiretapping

In a March 2004 conflict with the White House, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller and then-Deputy Attorney General Comey threatened to resign over wiretapping. Wray reportedly supported them in this standoff and told Comey, “Look, I don’t know what’s going on, but before you guys all pull the rip cords, please give me a heads‑up so I can jump with you.”

At the time, Comey would not approve of parts of the National Security Agency’s domestic wiretapping program.

Comey and others later withdrew their resignation threats after Bush agreed to alter the NSA programs.

Wray resigned in May 2005.


King & Spalding

Wray, 50, has been a litigation partner at the King & Spalding law firm since leaving the Justice Department in 2005.

“Chris Wray is one of the nation’s top litigators and understands the prosecution of white collar crime extremely well. We are proud to welcome him back to King & Spalding,” said Walter W. Driver, Jr., King & Spalding’s chairman in a press release at the time. “As head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, Chris has been in charge of investigations, prosecutions and policy development in virtually all areas of federal criminal law — from fraud and public corruption to terrorism, money laundering, computer crime and appellate litigation. He has the will and experience to effectively drive the continued growth of our special matters practice, and our clients will benefit greatly from the experience he has gathered while at the Justice Department.”

Wray said in a statement:

“I am thrilled to return to the firm where I began my legal career and to see how King & Spalding has grown in the past eight years. I am excited to lead such a distinguished group of attorneys and look forward to working with them to best serve our clients. That includes handling major corporate investigations and enforcement matters, internal investigations and working proactively to ensure that the proper corporate policies and business practices are adopted early on to ensure not only government compliance — but also business success.”

According to the firm’s website:

“Mr. Wray chairs the King & Spalding Special Matters and Government Investigations Practice Group, which represents companies, audit and special committees, and individuals in a variety of white-collar criminal and regulatory enforcement matters, parallel civil litigation, and internal corporate investigations.”

Law360 named Wray’s group the “White-Collar Group of the Year” and the U.S. News & World Report said they are “the premier firm in this practice area.”


Chris Christie

Wray was the personal attorney to NJ Governor Chris Christie during the Bridgegate scandal. Three of Christie’s top aides were found guilty of federal crimes, though Christie himself was cleared of all criminal charges.

The Associated Press reports that during his representation of Christie, Wray was found in possession of a missing cell phone that the governor claimed he had handed over to the DoJ. The phone included dozens of text messages between Christie and a former staffer during legislative testimony by Port Authority officials in 2013. It is still not known what was featured in the exchanges.

Christie supported Trump’s nomination of Wray, saying:

“I have the utmost confidence in Chris. He’s an outstanding lawyer. He has absolute integrity and honesty, and I think that the president certainly would not be making a mistake if he asked Chris Wray to be FBI director.”


Other Candidates

Wray was one of many names on a shortlist to replace Comey as FBI Director.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer said May 30 that another former Bush administration official, John Pistole, was also being interviewed for the job on the same day as Wray. Others such as Joe Lieberman, Justice Department Criminal Division Chief Alice Fisher, Congressman Trey Gowdy and Senator John Cornyn withdrew themselves from consideration, according to CNN. Judge Michael Garcia and FBI ofifical Richard McFeely also dropped themselves from consideration.

Florida Woman Gets 20 Years For Trying To Have Her Husband Sold Into Sex Slavery And/Or Killed

Rachael Leahy, a 35-year-old Florida woman, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after she tried to hire someone to kill her ex-husband.

Leahy, 35, was sentenced Monday, June 5, after pleading no contest to criminal solicitation to commit murder.

In August 2016, Leahy spoke with an undercover sheriff’s detective whom she thought was a hit man, telling him that her ex-husband could be kidnapped and taken to another country and made into a sex slave. She also suggested that he could die in an apparent accident, like a fire or drowning.

Leahy told the undercover detective she could pay him $5,000 after collecting on her ex-husband’s life insurance policy.

via New York Daily News:

Authorities said Leahy hatched her sinister plan because she wanted custody of their children. Leahy met with the undercover officer several times to give him information about her ex-husband and a photo of him. She also paid the fake hitman $2,500 with the intention to pay him more money later.

In one video from the meetings, Leahy allegedly said that she saw no other way to work out the custody battle with her ex than to have him killed.

“The only thing that matters is I don’t get to see my children,” she said, according to the Bradenton Herald. “There’s no other resolution to this other than him to be gone completely.”

According to police, Leahy planned to leave the country while the murder was taking place.

The terrorist who attacked police officers with a hammer outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has been identified as 40-year-old Farid Ikken. The Algerian attacker yelled “this is for Syria” before he attacked an officer with a hammer and was shot by police.

Who Is He?

Farid Ikken is a 40-year-old Algerian jihadist who lived in Sweden and worked as a journalist. He even received an EU Commission’s National Journalist Prize Against Discrimination award for a report in which he discussed alleged racism towards migrants.

His article also touched on “asylum seekers who are not entitled to medical care and who are therefore forced to seek medical care, as well as healthcare staff and others who still provide healthcare to asylum seekers,” the European Commission wrote in a statement.

Ikken had earned a Masters degree while living in Sweden. According to unconfirmed reports, Ikken made a video swearing allegiance to ISIS before the attack.

Former MTV reality show contestant Danny Dias was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on Monday. He was 33.


Danny Dias Cause of Death

Drugs are believed to have played a role in Dias’ death though the official cause of death is still under investigation.

The 33-year-old, who appeared on Season 13 of “Road Rules,” reportedly took LSD or mushrooms on Sunday when he freaked out and ran into his room, a friend who was at the apartment told TMZ.

The friend called him over the next two days but did not receive any response, prompting him to go Dias’ apartment to check on him. There he found him dead in his bedroom, TMZ reports.


Danny Dias

Dias was originally from Linden, New Jersey, but was currently living in Brooklyn. He attended Westminster Choir College of Rider University from 2001 to 2003 where he majored in music education.

He appeared on “Road Rules” in 2004 and later on “The Challenge” in 2005 before being eliminated after four episodes.

The music group Cypress Hill expressed their condolences via Facebook.

New York Man Dressed As ‘Tin Man’ Arrested For Drunk Driving

The Smoking Gun

Nicholas Sherman is a Tim Man impersonator, who is also in the market for some brains. This past Sunday, the New Yorker was hired to work a gig as the worst main character in The Wizard of Oz. That’s right, I said it! The Wizard of Oz would’ve been a million times better if somebody dropped a house on that annoying slapdick.

When he was done portraying that squeaky ass dweeb, Sherman made the terrible decision to drink and drive. Here’s The Smoking Gun with all of the pertinent details.

Nicholas Sherman, 31, was collared after cops responded to a 911 call about an “intoxicated male on private property” in Sullivan, a town about 15 miles east of Syracuse. The homeowner told police that “Sherman had drove to the residence with another male and was asked to leave.”

Sherman, arrested for drunk driving, registered a blood alcohol content of .19, more than twice the legal limit. He is scheduled for a June 20 court appearance on the misdemeanor charge.

It’s safe to say that the Tin Man was a little too lubed up on that fateful night. All I’m picturing now is Sherman scrambling to try to scheme his way out of getting arrested. “Pay no attention to that drunk as a skunk driver, policemen!”

You can follow the Yellow Brick Road all you want, but if you can’t stay in-between the yellow lines, you’re heading to the slammer. Over the limit, under arrest. Take that, ya heartless bastard.

Lauren Hunter Photos: Must-See Pictures of Fitness Model

Fitness model Lauren Hunter says in an piece from The Enquirer that former baseball star Alex Rodriguez has been sexting Hunter, 34, in secret. The tabloid goes on to allege that A-Rod tried to get Hunter to come to Kansas where he was announcing on a Kansas City Royals/New York Yankees game in May but she didn’t make the trip due to child care issues. Hunter is the mother to three boys, one with former NFL running back Marcus Allen.

Here’s what you need to know about the fitness model.


Blackmail

Hours before Hunter’s Enquirer story surfaced, TMZ reported that Rodriguez was preparing for a “legal war with ex lover who’s threatening extortion.” The gossip site says that the ex lover was demanding $600,000 in exchange for keeping private texts between the two quiet. Lauren Hunter is not mentioned by TMZ.

According to The National Enquirer, Rodriguez first began seeing Hunter in 2011 while he was still dating Cameron Diaz. Quoting a source, the report reads:

On May 10 [Rodriguez] told [Hunter] he missed her, and on May 11 he asked her to send a video of her [doing a sex act].

The Enquirer also alleges that Rodriguez offered to pay Hunter $20,000 for a threesome with another woman.

Here’s Hunter talking about her relationship with Rodriguez:

I don’t think he’s sexually attracted to [J-Lo]. In bed with J-Lo, he’s probably picturing me. He likes me to always wear heels and lingerie and outfits, dress up as a schoolgirl. All the things I would to with him I wouldn’t to with anyone else.

Everything about him is passionate and loving and sweet, he’ll kiss your hair and cuddle…

But sex is not soft and gentle, he’s rough. He is good in bed, and well endowed; he’s circumcised! I don’t think he’s ever made love to anybody, ever. He disconnects, his problems take over…


Marcus Allen

In January 2014, Hunter gave birth to her and Marcus Allen’s son Drake Connor Allen. TMZ reports the two met on MySpace. Drake Allen was their third child, having two sons from a previous marriage.

At the time of Drake’s birth, Hunter was 31 and Allen was 53. It’s been rumored over the years that Allen once had an affair with O.J. Simpson’s wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. Allen married his first wife, Kathryn, in Simpson’s backyard.


Social Media

Hunter has taken down her Instagram page and has not updated her Twitter since May 2015. The bio on her Twitter page reads:

Farm girl, Titled Swimwear and Fitness Competitor, Bikini Universe Finalist, Mother of 3 Strong Boys, Personal Trainer.


Philosophy

Via Hunter’s Facebook page:

I am, nothing more than all I can be—I’m a human just surfing this earth trying to find the true point of living, BEING HAPPY!!!

Tom Cruise Net Worth 2017: How Much Is ‘The Mummy’ Star Worth Now?

If you’re a 90’s kid you’ll remember The Mummy trilogy. Well, Hollywood is bringing it back almost nine years after Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, the last of the previous series of films. Coming this Thursday to a theater near you Alex Kurtzman drops the beginning of a new wave of The Mummy starring Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise, having starred in hit blockbusters such as Top Gun, the Mission: Impossible series, Jerry Maguire and A Few Good Men has solidified his place in Hollywood as an A-list actor and a top priority casting option in highly-grossing films.

With that being said it’s safe to assume that Tommy-boy is rollin’ in doe, snappin’ necks and cashin’ checks. You might be asking yourself how much is an actor of such high caliber worth overall?


Tom Cruise’s Net Worth as of 2017: $470 Million

That is lots and lots of millions. It all started with his breakout role in the ’83 teen film Risky Business. In 2012 he was named the highest paid actor in Hollywood. Having accomplished so much, and with his momentum still on the up-and-up, Cruise has already been awarded three Academy Award nominations and three Golden Globe Awards and is likely to return for more.


1981-2004

His second role in a film was as Cadet captain David Shawn in Taps (1981)which earned him $50k, not too shabby for an actor just starting out. Still, that goes to show how far he’s come. Legend was the first film to get Cruise a six-figure pay-day in 1985. His next movie, The Color of Money, made him that seven figure check and from that point on Tom Cruise was on track to having one of the largest salaries as an actor in the industry. The year 1996 comes around wand the major blockbuster Mission: Impossible has Tom Cruise as the star. HE TOOK HOME $70 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THIS PROJECT, and for the next Mission: Impossible movie they threw another $5 million on top of that.


2005-2010

During this five year period Cruise would be able to buy himself a nice haircut and leave a decent $175 million dollar tip, having made approximately $175,020,000 starring in the films Mission: Impossible III, Valkyrie and Knight and Day.


2011-2016

Nothing changed during this time. Why would it? The scientology-advocating ball of energy was still on top of the game, and still is for that matter. Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol made Cruise $12 million in 2011, Jack Reacher made him $7.5 million in 2012, Oblivion brought him $20 million in 2013, Edge of Tomorrow with $23 million in 2014 and Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation brought him in a whopping $25 million to sit on. In 2016 Cruise sold his Beverly Hills Mansion for only $490,000 although his Telluride estate proves to be a valuable property asset valued at $59 million.

Vladimir Putin Thinks The Reason He Never Has Bad Days Is Because He’s A Man

Is it bad that I kind of, sort of, f*ck with Putin?

You know, other than the fact he’s a war-monger who invades sovereign nations, the dude is pretty hilarious.

Whether it be riding shirtless on the back of a horse, playing on a beer league hockey team, or waving at passing birds, if Putin is good for anything, he’s good for a relatively entertaining headline.

And if you know anything about Vladimir Putin, then you know the dude also doesn’t have much respect for women (also another thing that’s not so chill about him), so it should come as no surprise that he legitimately believes he never has bad days because he’s ‘not a woman.’

via CNBC:

Russian President Vladimir Putin is always at his best, he tells director Oliver Stone in a new documentary called “The Putin Interviews” that will air on Showtime June 12-15. The politician attributes his stamina and stability in part to the fact that he’s a man.

As Bloomberg reports, “‘I am not a woman, so I don’t have bad days,’ he tells Stone while giving a tour of the Kremlin’s gilded throne room. ‘I am not trying to insult anyone. That’s just the nature of things. There are certain natural cycles.’”

Just so we’re clear, it’s not the sexism I find funny, but more the way it was packaged. It’s similar to how some stand-up comics are funnier because of their delivery than the actual context of the joke. I mean, the guy once said that Russian prostitutes are undoubtedly ‘the best in the world’, how do you not laugh at that?

The sheer notion of a world leader bragging about the quality of his nation’s hookers is inherently funny, just like Putin genuinely believing he doesn’t have because he’s not a woman is inherently funny.

As much as I like Tom Cruise and am eagerly awaiting both Top Gun 2 and American Made, him starring in a reboot of The Mummy franchise didn’t make a lick of sense to me. Did we really need a fourth goddamn chapter of fighting creepy ancient spirits? And if you’re going to take another trip to this played out desert, why not just stay with Brendan Fraser?

It seems that critics are agreeing with me, as reviews for The Mummy have been brutal. The film currently holds a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomoates, and IndieWire called it “the worst Tom Cruise movie ever.”

And because Twitter loves nothing more than taking joy in the pain of others, there have been tons of hilarious reactions to the movie getting eviscerated. Here are a few of the best tweets that I’ve come across.

Damn, at least Cruise got paid bank for his role. Like the great Rasheed Wallace once said, it’s all about cutting that check.

Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. You may know her from American Idol, and if not, you know all the fame and success that followed shortly after.

Something you may not know is that Carrie almost permanently put aside her dreams of singing and performing to pursue a degree in broadcast journalism from her alma mater Northeastern State University. Her life was taken in a completely new direction once she auditioned for American Idol during her senior collegiate year. She gives the show all the credit for being where she is, feeling that having grown up in a small town is where she realized her love for singing, but just didn’t know any way to go about it.

In the show’s fourth season (2005) she reigned victorious over the other contestants and it was clear that she was beloved by America. After the show she went on to win many Grammy, Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Awards.

In 2005 Underwood released her debut album, Some Hearts. Her album quickly went triple platinum, making it one of the fastest-selling female country albums of all-time. Everyone knows her single “Before He Cheats,” which led to an epidemic of angry women keying their ex-boyfriend’s cars. That single won her a Grammy for best female vocal performance and a CMA Award for single of the year (2007).

Since then she has gone on to receive two more CMA Award Nominations while also hosting the second time around.

Not only is Carrie Underwood one of the most humble and talented artists out there today, but her looks and charm isn’t something to be left unsaid. Make sure to check out the best of her Instagram pics above and toss her a follow.

Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops is calling it a career after 18 seasons as head football coach, Berry Tramel of The Oklahoman reports.

Stoops, 56, will be succeeded by 33-year-old offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. Stoops reportedly let his football players know of the decision earlier on Wednesday.

Stoops took charge of the program back in 1999 and subsequently posted an impressive 190-48 record with the school. The Sooners won the National Title in 200 and claimed nine Big 12 championships in his time.

Under Riley, Oklahoma posted the second-ranked offense in the nation last season. The team averaged 554.8 yards per game while scoring a total of 571 points (43.9 points per game).
