and now this:
Kareem Hunt's status with the Kansas City Chiefs was in limbo Friday night after video surfaced of the reigning NFL rushing champion striking a woman during an incident at a Cleveland hotel...Police were called to the scene during the Feb. 10 incident, but no charges were filed...though two police reports were created. Hunt is listed as the suspect in one of them and a woman, Abigail Ottinger, is the suspect in the other one...
The video, published by TMZ, shows Hunt knocking over and kicking a woman in the hotel hallway...(and) lunging toward a woman and several others...(T)he second-year pro (was) restrained several times...Hunt later shoves an individual and knocks down a woman, whom he then kicks on the ground.
The Chiefs and the NFL have been aware of Hunt's incident since it occurred...Hunt was at the Chiefs' facility earlier Friday in preparation for Sunday's trip to Oakland, but was excused and sent home...Hunt could be placed on the NFL's Commissioner Exempt List, which...means the player is paid and does not count against the club's 53-man roster, (b)ut he can't practice or play until he is removed from the list.
When asked about the offseason incidents during training camp, Hunt replied: ''I've learned from it and just focus on football.''
Maybe Hunt should have focused on outbidding TMZ for the video...

I winced when I learned that Lady Gaga was in the newest remake of A Star Is Born
I knew instantly that it wouldn't work for me because her voice is too generic.
I had no problem imagining the characters played by her predecessors Judy Garland (in 1954) and Barbra Streisand (in 1976) being told, "Sorry, but while you have the right voice, you don't have the right look," and needing someone further up the ladder to help them through the door.
To his credit, director/co-star Bradley Cooper realized that in these times, Gaga's character would be told "Sorry, but you don't have either the right voice OR right looks," and has her complain instead that she's not good-looking enough for her songwriting abilities to be noticed, never mind respected. But even that is a crock, of course: if her lyrics WERE that good, they would have been noticed by someone who could give her the opportunity to sell them to the kind of vocalists who could make them BOTH rich and famous!
