My heroes: The Gym Class Heroes' new album is a little less edgy than previous LPs (sounds like they've started to enter Black Eyed Peas territory) but I'm still digging it. Probably not worth downloading the whole thing but their duet with Estelle, "Guilty as Charged" is great and I love that Busta Rhymes shows up on "Peace Sign/Index Down"!
Just a little bit country: Well, J Simp's first country album has arrived and the reviews are lukewarm. Idolator has a helpful round-up of reviews but even the Houston Chronicle described it as "mostly generic Nashville flavor." From what I've heard so far I wouldn't say it's bad, just not great. The song "Remember That" contains some powerful vocals and it's clear her heart and soul are in it when she belts the lyrics to "Might As Well Be Making Love." It's mostly when she has some Dixie Chick-like girl power oomph behind her lyrics that she's at her best, and has me (more or less) sold on her country transformation.

This isn't the first time we've heard this from Young. And "there are indications" the team is ready to move forward with Kerry Collins, even when Young gets healthy. And that assumes Young even wants his job back. Young's mother, rightly concerned, pleaded for people to give her son "space" and "love." But it won't be so simple. A psychologist reported Young was "extremely depressed" and one wonders when (and if) he'll see the field again. The Titans signed Chris Simms today.
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma basketball player Ray Willis and football player Frank Alexander were stabbed over the weekend during a melee that involved guns, knives and tire irons, multiple sources have confirmed to The Oklahoman.About 2:32 a.m. Sunday, Norman police responded to an altercation that erupted into a melee during a private party at Serenade, also known as Sooner Knights, located at 1309 SW 24th Ave. in Norman.
According to Police Lt. Blake Green, two stabbing victims in connection with the incident were taken by private vehicle to the emergency room at Norman Regional Hospital.
Alexander was treated and released from the emergency room, hospital spokeswoman Brenda Finkle said.
A source close to the basketball program said that Willis “is going to be fine.”
Football coach Bob Stoops said Monday evening that two OU athletes were attacked over the weekend, but wouldn’t comment on specifics.
“There was an incident where a couple of our athletes were assaulted,” Stoops said. “There’s an ongoing investigation. Until we know more, I’m not going to confirm or not confirm anything.”
A third victim, who is still unknown, was hit by a car during the incident, but was treated and released from the hospital, Lt. Green said.
At the scene, police arrested Terran McCabe, 27, of Oklahoma City, on a complaint of carrying a concealed weapon, Lt. Green said. At the moment, police are considering the complaint unrelated to the assaults committed at Serenade. McCabe has no prior felony convictions in Oklahoma. He has been released on bail.
Willis is a 6-foot-6, 170-pound freshman guard from Westlake High School in Atlanta. He was born in Tulsa, but moved to Orlando, Fla., eventually starring on the Dr. Phillips High School basketball team there for three seasons. His senior year, he moved to Atlanta.
Alexander, a backup defensive end, recorded a tackle in Saturday’s 57-2 victory over Tennessee-Chattanooga. Alexander, a redshirt freshman, is from Baton Rouge, La.
“We are most concerned about the recovery of those who were injured,” OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement. “Our desire is to assist law enforcement authorities in their investigation. While the details are still emerging, indications are that those who were injured were victims of assault.”
According to Lt. Green, no one else is believed to have been seriously injured from the incident.
Police Capt. Michael Praizner said the department is looking for suspects, but didn’t have any specific leads.
Anyone with information is asked to call Norman police at (405) 321-1444 or Crime Stoppers at (405) 366-7867.
