ESPN’s Kelly Naqi reviews the tragic saga that put Rae Carruth behind bars, and left a boy without parents. Cherica Adams was 8 months pregnant when she was gunned down in Charlotte, NC. Just because Rae didn’t want to pay child support. He still denies his involvement, how tragic.

Former football players slay me once they become “analyst.” The need to feed the beast makes my butt itch. Former Cowboy, now analyst for ESPN, Darren Woodson was asked by Mike Greenberg about the experience advantage the Buffalo Bills had over the Dallas Cowboys in the 1993 Super Bowl.
“As much as everyone talked about how much experience the Bills had back then, they partied harder than any other team. That’s all we heard about the entire week in L.A., the (Cowboys) first Super Bowl.
“They (Bills players) were out Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Couple guys got into altercations in the clubs, older, veteran guys with the Bills.
“Experience doesn’t mean that much, it’s all about leadership. There’s a reason they (Bills) lost four Super Bowls. They partied harder than any other team.”
*blank stare* As much as the media loves a juicy story, why don’t I recall hearing about the Bills partying and getting into fights before the Super Bowl. Thanks to the almighty powers of Google, I just searched again, and still came up empty handed.
Pure and simple, the Buffalo Bills played horribly and although it was their 3rd consecutive Super Bowl, the journey prior to the big game was tough. QB Jim Kelly was injured in the wildcard game against the Houston Oilers. Known as “The Comeback”, the Buffalo Bills rallied from a 32-point deficit lead by backup QB Frank Reich to win the game in OT.
Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas returned for the next two games against the Steelers & Dolphins rusty from their injuries, but some questioned why Reich wasn’t in the game. .
But in the Super Bowl, the Bills’ had NINE turnovers—four interceptions and five lost fumbles. During the 2nd quarter, LB Ken Norton, Jr. hit Kelly on his sprained knee; re-injuring the QB and in trots Frank Reich, hoping to become a hero once more. He was not prepared for Dallas’ defense, thus the final score being 52 – 17. That my dear friend, are facts, not rumors.
So I say again, STHU Darren Woodson!! Nobody talks about my Bills and gets away it!!

There are days in life you never forget.
Two days after I got off home confinement — July 22, 2009, to be exact — was the first time in eight months I got to pick up a football and really throw it. I went over to my high school coach’s school and threw routes to some high school kids, a few friends and my brother, Marcus. The ball came out so strong. I still had the strength, the accuracy. That felt great. But it was a relief, too. Cause I knew I still had that special thing.
To be honest, I was never worried about my arm. When I was little, in Newport News, Va., the drunks would hang out on the corner, and I could swindle them out of a quick dollar by betting I could throw a ball or a rock over my building. I’ll be able to throw a football when I’m 60. Just today, I picked the ball up and threw it 70 yards.

I giggled when he hesitated to answer the question, “whats the best thing about Buffalo”? I feel you T.O. He’s a healthy eater so all the good food means nothing. But if your ever in Buffalo try some wings w/blue cheese, pizza, sub or roast beef sandwich, polish sausage…OMG I’m hungry now. Watch the video courtesy of ESPN!!
