O.J. Simpson was back in handcuffs again, after being charged with seven felonies and one gross misdemeanor. This time for being part of an armed group that was allegedly trying to retrieve what he says was stolen memorabilia from a Las Vegas casino. Maybe he's part of the cast filming for Ocean's 14. Or maybe he needed more material for the next book in his "If I Did It" series. Even convicted felons must question O.J.'s apparent lack of good judgement. Simpson says he didn't call police to help get his stuff back because they've been unresponsive since that whole Nicole/Ron killing thing. Ya think?
The Panthers are hit and miss with the second receiver spot. At times, Drew Carter and Keary Colbert look the part, but too many times they fail to come through. Colbert dropped three catchable balls, while Carter had a perfectly thrown deep pass go right between his hands. On a brighter note, second year tight end Jeff King is showing good hands and has the size to play all the parts required of his position.
Thanks to Gene Courtney for loading me up with a bag of his delicious barbeque sandwiches to take up to the broadcast booth for the guys Sunday. I saw Gene of Courtney's Barbeque fame at the Hummer of Independence tailgate party prior to the home opener. Gene has lost over 100 pounds by walking a marathon every Sunday from South Carolina to Uptown Charlotte and back. He says he's eating more chicken than barbeque these days.
Charles Jenkin hosts a cooking show every Saturday on Newstalk 1110 WBT and makes a mean pesto pizza. But he's got cooking competition from show host Jeff Katz and news anchor Woody Cain. Woody was competing in this weekend's barbeque competition and Jeff has an award-winning ribs recipe. I don't cook much, but I love to grill out and we have abandoned most sauces for dry rubs.
Great idea by the Cleveland Browns to slowly bring Derek Anderson along, under the radar while pretending to be grooming rookie Brady Quinn. Bad idea by Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson to take a leap into the Cleveland stands during their 51-45 loss. He got a beer shower, but he never was the smartest guy in the NFL.
I said last week that Michigan would beat Notre Dame, but I wasn't expecting 38-0. Wonder if NBC will move their games to cable access. Luckily, Charlie Weis only has 9 more years or so left on that 10 year deal.
