This is an absolutely surreal experience. I am numb right now. I’m not sure what to do - jump up and down or cry - I’m just so excited about being a Cincinnati Bengal. Coach Marvin Lewis made the call. When my phone rang it was an unknown number and I had some friends calling before that so I wasn’t sure if I should answer it. I was thrilled to get the call. My agent called after that and told me Carson Palmer was jumping up and down. I will be too - I’m a Cincinnati Bengal!

One of my favorite editorialists, Joel Stein asked me to take part in his latest articles about the way people tumblr, twitter, blog. I was more than happy to help.
I thought the article came out great but Joel mentioned they had to cut out this one section he was fond of and he encouraged me to Tumble it, so now you can get the special edition of his article, the way it was meant to be read. Before the man interfered…..

It’s even starting to make us all better conversationalists, learning to pare our stories down to the size appropriate for their content. “If your grandma had a twitter, that story about the time she met Tony Curtis would be a lot funnier and a half hour shorter,” said Scheer. “I would love to get my grandmother a twitter. Instead, she calls to tell me a tiny thought instead. I was dating this girl who was Jewish and my grandmother called to say, ‘Those Jews could have fought back in World War II since there were so many of them.’ My grandmother could racist twitter.”
Donald Duck is an asshole.

LAKE ELSINORE - Three men have been charged with kidnapping and assault in a case worthy of a cult movie plot.
A 48-year-old Lake Elsinore woman has accused the three of abducting, beating and dumping her in Mexico late last month.
The accused are the 45-year-old man the woman had been living with and two of his friends, said Detective Joe Greco of the Lake Elsinore Police Department. Greco said one of the men is nicknamed “No Nose” because his face is disfigured from a gunshot wound suffered years ago.
