Isaiah Marshall Gets Michigan Scholarship

2019-01-16T12:30:00.000-08:00

Isaiah Marshall is only in seventh grade but he just got a scholarship from Michigan to play football for coach Harbaugh. This is amazing as usually only high school athletes receive scholarships to play at the collegiate level. They usually decide to commit by senior year.

Jim Harbaugh was in Southfield, Mich., on Tuesday morning to see some emerging football prospects, and he left after deciding to make a little history.
During a visit to Southfield A&T, Harbaugh watched film of seventh-grade quarterback Isaiah Marshall, currently a youth football player in Southfield and the son of former Brother Rice (Mich.) High School and Northwestern running back Brian Marshall.
Shortly after Harbaugh left the school, he called the elder Marshall with some news: That 13-year-old Isaiah was about to be the youngest player to receive a scholarship offer from Michigan.

"He came to look at a couple of our kids, he sat down to watch some tape of Isaiah and liked what he saw," Brian Marshall said Tuesday night. "He broke it down and then extended an offer. He called me, I wasn't up there yet, to extend an offer.

"He said he was the youngest (to ever receive and offer). He liked what he saw with the film. He liked his anticipation, as far as him throwing kids open and reading coverages. Ball placement. Touch. Things you're looking for in a quarterback. Can they read progressions, can they throw guys open, can they be poised. All those different things."

Brian Marshall is an assistant at Southfield A&T with his brother, Aaron, who is the program's offensive coordinator.

Isaiah comes from a family that is well-versed in how the scholarship process works, as Brian was recruited out of high school to play football and Isaiah's mother, Yolanda, was a college basketball player at DePaul.

Programs like Michigan have offered scholarships to eighth graders in recent years. But Marshall, a member of the class of 2024, is believed to be the youngest player to get this type of offer this quickly.

It might be a lot to handle, though Brian says he and the family do their best to keep everything grounded. Brian controls his son's Twitter account and keeps him off social media.

"He's pretty laid back and humble, we keep a controlled environment for the most part," Brian said.

"He's pretty grounded. My brothers and I have all played Division I football, we've been there. We have experience on our side. We control the social media thing.

"But I still remember the (recruiting) process. And we coach the kids through it now. He grew up watching Sam Johnson play high school and youth ball, he was the first middle school kid in Michigan to get an offer. So he's seen the process. He's not your normal kid when it comes to the distraction factor."

The celebration for the Marshalls tonight?
Maybe some pizza and sleep.

"He had midterms today at school, training afterwards, he's at basketball practice. He's probably worn out," Brian said with a chuckle. "So maybe we'll grab some pizza and some wings and enjoy that."

All the teleprompters, cue cards and station breaks in the world couldn’t have saved these interviews from becoming such memorable train wrecks.

Back in 2005, the “Today” host tried to discuss Cruise’s religion and his take on psychiatric drugs, but the star proved combative. What was his two-word affront?

Halle Berry is 45-year-old actress won again against her baby daddy. A judge rejected Aubry's request of seeing the couple's 3-year-old daughter Nahla alone, unaccompanied by the nanny.
The French model wanted more alone time with his daughter, but the actress opposed.

According to TMZ, the judge issued an order on October 17, upholding the original agreement requiring supervised visitation for Aubry.
Now Aubry is upset and will probably blame Berry for destroying his relationship with little Nahla.
The custody battle between these two started last year when the couple split after dating for almost five years.

Ed Reed’s brother Brian Reed is missing since he jumped into the Mississippi River to save himself from police.

Brian, the 29-year-old brother of the American football free safety for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League, jumped into the river in St. Charles, Louisiana to avoid being arrested. He soon went under water and then disappeared.

Authorities noticed his hands and head intermittently popping out of water for few minutes but finally he went under the water and did not resurface.

Reed was probably driving a stolen car according to the police; however his mother Karen Reed said it was a family car.

Brian and Ed Reed’s mother denied all allegations and revealed that her missing son was addicted to drugs but otherwise he was not a bad person. She hoped her son had not drowned in the river.

Sarah Palin Book: Best Seller List

2009-11-17T11:27:00.000-08:00

Former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue: An American Life, has become a New York Times best-seller – more than six weeks before it’s released.

Going Rogue will be released November 17, yet pre-orders on Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com have pushed the book to the number one position.

The book is out-selling Senator Ted Kennedy’s True Compass and Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol (The previous New York Times best-seller), his first novel since The Da Vinci Code and one of the year’s most anticipated releases.

Limbaugh vs. Obama

2009-11-03T11:12:00.000-08:00

The feud between Limbaugh and Obama seems to be one that will never die.

Limbaugh said he “hopes Obama will fail” while in office. He also claimes that Obama is “immature and inexperienced”. Obama seems to be lashing out at Fox News and avoiding head on collision with Limbaugh. The President seems to have issues with conservatives as a whole rather than one individual.

The only way he would indirectly attack Limbaugh is if he censored/banned all conservative radio and television. Then there would be no illusions that we have a “free” country if he did that.

The dispatcher apparently shares the apartment with his parents and couldn't believe it was happening to his family. This seems to be a very ironic but unfunny situation.

Russell Crowe Bike Duel?

2009-09-06T11:25:00.000-07:00

(AP)An Australian newspaper mocked Russell Crowe for smoking and shoveling down a fatty meal during a recent bike ride, so the notoriously salty actor set out to prove he is still in gladiator shape — by challenging the paper's gossip columnist to a duel by bicycle.

Crowe, who has been photographed looking slimmer in recent months, was apparently none too pleased by a column published in Sydney's The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday entitled "Smokes and fatty foods the fitness regime for Rusty." The paper mocked Crowe after he was photographed pausing during a recent bike ride with his personal trainer to puff on a cigarette and chow down on three tacos and a soft drink.

In a story published Friday, the paper said Crowe's spokesman called up gossip columnist Annette Sharp the next day and said, "Get on your bike. Russell wants you to go riding with him. Are you ready to die?"

Sharp accepted the challenge and the pair met a dawn for a 12-mile (20-kilometer) ride through the city. Video of the race shows Sharp struggling to keep up while Crowe zooms along unfazed. At one point, Sharp fell off her bike.

Still, Crowe gave Sharp some credit, telling her she was a better biker than Australian director Baz Luhrmann. "You're twice the man Baz is," he said.

Crowe's manager Grant Vandenberg had no comment. "I think everything's been said in the paper," he said.

Oregon Football Player Blount Suspended for Rest of Season

2009-09-04T16:19:00.001-07:00

Oregon Football Player LeGarrette Blount has been suspended for the rest of the season after sucker punching a Boise State Player.

The punch came at the end of the game after Oregon lost to Boise State 19-8. Running back Blount was in a sore mood and when DE Byron Hout of Boise tapped him on the shoulder and taunted him - he snapped. He punched him across the jaw, then he shoved his teammate in the face, then he went after Boise fans to cap it all off.

Most fans of college football expected a one game suspension, but Oregon set a good example by making him sit out his senior year as a consequence. It will likely cost him in the NFL draft as well, he was likely a 2nd or 3rd round pick, but now scouts are saying he may be undraftable or a late pick in the 6th or 7th round.

What a way to kick off college football! Really made the sport look bad, when the focus for this year was supposed to be sportsmanship! Here's hoping nobody else makes the same mistake this season.

Kiss & Surprise

2009-08-27T13:10:00.000-07:00

A little town called Oshawa in Canada thought they were in for a surprise visit from KISS but ended up getting dissed.

KISS ran a contest back in April and asked their fans to vote for their hometown to be included in the band’s upcoming tour, with the top vote getter getting a concert in their town. Oshawa topped the list, but when the list of the “KISS Alive 35″ concert dates/cities was released this week, Oshawa was nowhere to be found.

The band was asked why Oshawa was dissed and the KISS camp responded that the town was skipped for “logistical reasons“, and a rep added that they would still “get something special”.

Of course, major media coverage and angry fans ensued, which forced KISS to announce that they are in fact playing in Oshawa on October 7th.

Oshawa mayor John Gray was contacted by KISS’ manager, informing him of the performance. Gray said:

“Details are still a little sketchy. I’m ecstatic. This is an opportunity to have Oshawa shine — we have a great facility we want to show visitors our city.”

The concert was planned all along, and KISS had wanted to surprise the town. Simmons said:

“Because of who and what Oshawa is – which is near and dear to our hearts because (they) won the No. 1 spot above and beyond New York, L.A., Toronto, Vancouver – we wanted to do a huge campaign and literally premiere Sonic Boom, our new album, Oct. 7 in Oshawa.”

Simmons has voiced his anger at the media since the KISS & surprise for Oshawa was foiled.

Shia LaBeouf Dating Co-Star Carey Mulligan?

2009-08-26T10:16:00.000-07:00

Shia LaBeouf might have a new love in his life, co-star Carey Mulligan.

The pair star together in Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel, "Money Never Sleeps," which shoots in New York, but they might be more than just acting partners.

According to reports, the pair were sighted in Greenwich Village on Sunday, "kissing and cuddling," at the sidewalk cafe Extra Virgin.

Mulligan, 24, is a British actress who most recently starred in Michael Mann's Public Enemies, while LaBoeuf, 23, is of course well known for his role in the summer blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

$260 Million Jackpot Winner

2009-08-26T10:06:00.001-07:00

(AP) A retired South Carolina state employee who spent two bucks on the lottery was all smiles Tuesday as he became a $260 million Powerball jackpot winner.

"For once in my life, I really experienced the old saying, pinch me to see if I'm still alive, or if this is real," Solomon Jackson Jr. said.

South Carolina Education Lottery officials say the Powerball jackpot is the largest ever won with a ticket bought in the state, which has the nation's fifth-highest unemployment rate. Powerball is played in 30 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Jackson, a lifelong Columbia resident, shared few details about himself or his plans for the money. He did say he is married and has 10 siblings, though he would not say how many children he has or give his age.

He also did not say whether he will take his winnings in yearly payments over three decades or in a $129 million lump sum, which would work out to about $88 million after taxes.

He did reveal he had been an assistant supervisor for the state Revenue Department until taking early retirement in 2000 and using his free time to return to school to get a degree from Midlands Technical College.

"It is a beautiful day for education," Jackson said. "I said, 'Well, why can't I throw $2 at the lottery, to help education?' Come to find out, I did not need $2 to win, so I wasted a dollar. Thank God. Thank God. Thank God."

Jackson, who said he has played the lottery before, appeared at a claims center in Columbia on Tuesday with I.S. Leevy Johnson, an attorney whose wife taught Jackson in high school and said he has known the man for years. But Johnson said he was still somewhat taken aback when he fielded Jackson's call Monday.

"He said to me, Mr. Johnson, I want to talk to you about something. And being a criminal defense lawyer, I said, 'Oh Lord,'" Johnson said. "We matched the numbers up, and we learned that truly he was a winner."

Jackson picked up the only ticket that matched all the winning numbers for the Aug. 19 drawing — 14, 24, 31, 43 and 51, with a Powerball of 27 and a multiplier of 5 — at a Columbia gas station after shopping at a nearby Walmart. He says he won't let his winnings affect who he is, only dropping hints that eventually someone else will benefit from his good fortune.

"I'm already retired, I've already got a good income, and God has blessed me, so I won't do a bunch with it," Jackson said with a smile. "But somebody's going to be blessed."

Lottery officials say Jackson's chances of winning were one in 195 million.

"That's a lot of people," he said. "And yet, little ole me, of all the people."

Dakota Fanning & 'Wizard of Oz'

2009-08-26T09:18:00.000-07:00

Is there a reported Dakota Fanning & 'Wizard of Oz' sequel?

Yep, Dakota Fanning reportedly has been tapped to play the 15-year-old granddaughter of Dorothy, in the Warner Brothers remake of the classic film, Wizard of Oz, which starred Judy Garland as Dorothy.

The film will reportedly take place in the present, and will chronicle Fanning’s adventures as the granddaughter of Dorothy Gale.

Warner Bros. has described the sequel as “darker and more action-packed” than the original. Hmmm. It’s hard for me to imagine the Wizard of Oz as “darker”, but if anyone can pull off slipping on those ruby slippers in a “darker” role, Dakota Fanning is a wise choice.

According to the Daily Express, filming for the sequel could begin as early as next year, reportedly in the UK. Todd McFarlane, co-producer of the film, said:

“You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien [Sigourney Weaver] than a helpless singing girl.”

Veterans Told They Have Fatal Disease, Lou Gehrig's Disease

2009-08-25T13:57:00.000-07:00

1200 Veterans were told that they have the fatal Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS.

They were sent a letter telling them of the news. It was an error and the diagnosis was wrong, the letters apparently had a 'coding' error. Veterans and others are outraged as one can imagine the panic of reading a letter from the government that states you have a fatal disease.

According to Kids' Health, "Lou Gehrig's disease damages motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord." The report notes, "Motor neurons are nerve cells that control muscle movement. Upper motor neurons send messages from the brain to the spinal cord, and lower motor neurons send messages from the spinal cord to the muscles. Motor neurons are an important part of the body's neuromuscular system."

Eric Bruntlett Triple Play

2009-08-24T10:40:00.000-07:00

Eric Bruntlett made an amazing solo triple play for the Phillies against the Mets.

The play was indeed history making, as it was only the second game ending unassisted triple in major baseball league history, and the 15th overall, as Eric Bruntlett was able to get final three outs on his own thus securing the victory for the Philadelphia Phillies’ over the New York Mets. The final score: Phillies 9 and Mets 7.

The last such play, was on May 31, 1927 and was performed by Detroit Tigers first baseman Johnny Neun and resulted in a 1-0 victory over Cleveland.

Regarding the unassisted triple play (video below) Eric Bruntlett, 31, a utility player who has variously played second base, shortstop, and left field, told the media:

“It was kind of a reaction and after it was over I was just trying to figure out what happened,” Bruntlett said. “The opportunities I’ve had, I haven’t done that well with them. So it was certainly nice to have a good day at the plate and end up feeling good about what I’m doing.”

According to Reuters, quoting the Major League Baseball Web site mlb.com he further said:

“It’s hard to know how to react to it. I was almost laughing. That doesn’t happen. What do you do there? Game is over. High fives.”

Watch the Eric Bruntlett triple play video from Sunday August 23 and see happened when he caught a line drive from Jeff Francoeur, tagged second base, doubled off Luis Castillo, and went on to tag Daniel Murphy as he attempted to run to second base.

The final score that night: Philadelphia Phillies 7 and New York Mets 6, as a result of the remarkable play.

KFC "Double Down" using Chicken Instead of Bread

2009-08-24T10:07:00.000-07:00

KFC is test-marketing their “Double Down”… which is using fried chicken breasts instead of bread:

The creation features a dollop of the Colonel’s secret sauce wrapped in a slice of both Pepperjack Cheese and Swiss Cheese, between two slices of bacon and two filets of KFC original recipe chicken that serve as the ‘buns’ of the burger.

It's still fried and has BACON in the middle smothered with cheese. If they were going for healthy they kinda missed the mark! Can you imagine how greasy your hands would be from holding that?
