“No mother, no father, no brother, no sister, no cousin and no friend should ever have to endure the journey that we have,” Henry said Wednesday at Chicago’s criminal courthouse.

Terrell Owens LA Modeling Agency
Terrell Owens LA Modeling Agency, This is a career move for Terrell Owens I can get with. T.O.’s assistant Adrienne tweeted congrats to the former (?) NFL star for joining “Next Models LA.” I feel as if Terrell was signed to a modeling agency in the past but either way I think this works for him. He’s always in excellent shape, has great skin and it fits! Maybe now the original athlete video vixen can pay off his taxes and child support! This always should’ve been in Terrell’s transition plan.
Congrats to @terrellowens for signing w/ Next Models LA…coming to a billboard near you! #werk instagr.am/p/WkGiOxM8TK/

Greatness Has Been Found T Shirts
Greatness Has Been Found T Shirts - The U.S. women's soccer team wore Nike T-shirts with a smug, tacky slogan reading "Greatness Has Been Found" after its gold-medal win over Japan on Thursday. The shirts were roundly panned on Twitter, from critics both foreign and domestic.
Members of the team were handed the shirts immediately after their win. This is a ritual common after big victories in American team sports. After the Super Bowl or NCAA basketball title game, for instance, winning teams immediately put on shirts and hats that proclaim them champions.

If Danny Boyle is going to use a line from Shakespeare's final play to open the London Olympics, then it's only appropriate to use another to describe the enchanting team that is gaining the adulation of a small, but devoted, following of Olympic fans.

The Only Way Is Essex Girls Go Mud Wrestling
The Only Way Is Essex Girls Go Mud Wrestling
But it seems two stars of the show tried out a novel way of getting into shape for the second round of cat-flights, tears and tantrums embarking on a grueling fitness boot camp – in true Essex style, of course.
Mark Wright’s former flame Lucy Mecklenburgh was joined by Arg’s girlfriend Lydia Bright and the girls weren’t going to let the muddy training getting in the way of looking their best and found enough energy to enjoy an impromptu mud-wrestling match.
The pair were joined by two friends who were also sporting a full face of make-up and blow dried hair for the outdoor activities at the No1 boot camp in Norfolk.
With their hair flowing behind them the girls ran down to the beach to begin their session carrying small weighted balls.
That in itself must have been a tough task for the girls who are more used to lifting boutique shopping bags than weights.
The girls did show willing and performed a number of exercises including a girl-style press up which displayed their ample cleavage and a wide-legged squat on the sand.
And perhaps aware of the cameras on them, or maybe just fans of mud-wrestling Lydia challenged Lucia to a bout and the pair got the grips with each other in the dirt.
Always ready to oblige a waiting photographer the girls got together for a group shot.
She told New! Magazine: ‘Everyone’s gone a bit hardcore trying to lose weight for the next series.’
The 20-year-old credits her own trim figure to zumba classes and poledancing

The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter
The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter
The biggest athlete in professional sports is also the biggest athlete on Twitter.
NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has the most followers of any athlete on the social media site, with over 3.5 million users reading his tweets. Brazilian soccer star Kaka is second on the list, more than 500,000 followers behind.
Though athletic success is a good yardstick in determining which men and women have the most followers, it's not as reliable an indicator as you'd think. For instance, Tiger Woods isn't in the top 10 but Chad Ochocinco is. (Tiger actually has fewer followers than fellow golfers Stewart Cink and Ian Poulter.) LeBron James cracks the list but comes in behind Reggie Bush. And of all the baseball players with accounts, one-time All-Star Nick Swisher is the most popular. (It doesn't hurt that he's on the New York Yankees.)
Here's the list of the top-10 athletes on Twitter, along with a sample tweet and a summary of their favorite subjects:
1. Shaquille O'Neal -- @THE_REAL_SHAQ -- 3,564,335 followers -- 51 tweets (in the month of February)
Catching up with five-time Olympic medalist Greg Louganis
1. Louganis accepted a job with SoCal divers four months ago only after being assured that he could implement his "building blocks mentality," which keeps a focus on fundamental acrobatics rather than mechanics. It's the first coaching he's done since 1976, when he helped out his high school team after returning from the Montreal Games.
2. The diver threw himself a "spectacular party" when he turned 33 because he expected it to be his last birthday. Eighteen years later he says his health is so good "you kind of forget about it."
3. He appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last month to discuss the 1995 show in which he revealed he was gay. Also appearing on that show was a man who said that Louganis' appearance on Oprah, which he saw when he was 12 years old, helped give him the courage to live his life as an openly gay man.
4. Before returning to coaching, Louganis was spending his time training dogs for agility competitions. A former Olympic teammate said Louganis' work with the dogs helps him give clear commands to his divers.
5. Up until returning to coach, Louganis said he didn't dive. His Malibu house didn't even have a diving board at the pool. That's evidently changed. The Times article concludes with a description of the diving great getting on the board during a break in practice and performing pikes that "barely caused a splash."

Real Madrid becomes highest earning sports team ever
Barcelona came in right behind Real for the second straight year (even though the standings were the other way around in La Liga) and the first time ever, the combined earnings of Deloitte's 20-club Money League topped $5.4 billion.
By comparison, the top earning NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, made $420 million according to Forbes and the top earning MLB team, the New York Yankees, made $441 million. That would only put them fifth and fourth, respectively, in Deloitte's list of football clubs.
The biggest chunk of Real Madrid's revenue came from their ongoing $1.4 billion TV rights deal, but they also make nearly as much from numerous sponsorships and matchday earnings. And if there's one thing Real like more than making money, it's spending it. Over the last decade, they've spent more than $1 billion on player transfers as they keep breaking their own transfer records for individual players to fill out club president Florentino Perez's live-action fantasy team.
Here's the full Football Money League top 20...
1. Real Madrid -- $592 million
2. Barcelona -- $537 million
3. Manchester United -- $472 million
4. Bayern Munich -- $436 million
5. Arsenal -- $370 million
6. Chelsea -- $345 million
7. AC Milan -- $318 million
8. Liverpool -- $308 million
9. Inter Milan -- $303 million
10. Juventus -- $277 million
11. Manchester City -- $206 million
12. Tottenham Hotspur -- $198 million
13. Hamburger SV -- $197 million
14. Lyon -- $197 million
15. Marseille -- $190 million
16. Schalke 04 -- $189 million
17. Atletico Madrid -- $168 million
18. Roma -- $166 million
19. Stuttgart -- $155 million
20. Aston Villa -- $148 million
Fun, right? Well, it's not so much when you look at how quickly those earnings disappear. As the Andersred Blog points out, just one of the seven English clubs on Deloitte's list turned a profit (Arsenal). Barcelona had to take out a loan to pay player wages last summer and Real's debt is in the hundreds of millions. So keep that in mind when imagining club executives diving into warehouse-sized safes full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.
