BLACK HISTORY MONTH A&E BITZ

This week we feature baseball great James Thomas Nichols aka Cool Papa Bell. Born May 17, 1903, in or near Starkville, Mississippi joined the St. Louis Stars of the Negro National League as a pitcher in 1922. By 1924, he had become their starting center fielder, and was known as an adept batter and fielder, and the "fastest man in the league". After leading the Stars to league titles in 1928, 1930, and 1931, he also played with the Kansas City Monarchs. "Cool Papa" Bell died in 1990 his home on Dickson Street in St. Louis, Missouri at age 87. In his honor, the city renamed Dickson Street as "James 'Cool Papa' Bell Avenue". He has also been inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

Also named for him is Cool Papa Bell Drive, the road leading into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in Jackson, of which he is a member. The Hall and Drive are adjacent to Smith-Wills Stadium, longtime home of the Jackson Generals of the Texas League, now home to the Jackson Senators of the independent Texas-Louisiana League.

In 1999, Cool Papa Bell was ranked 66th on The Sporting News list of Baseball's Greatest Players, one of five players so honored who played all or most of his career in the Negro leagues, and was nominated as a finalist for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. John Holway in his book says that James finished in the Top 5 in stolen bases 9 times.

THE BIG A&E STORY THIS WEEK IS:

President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union Speech 2012 on Tuesday night. He initiated proposals to further boost the economy, jobs creation and advocated for policies that would create a level playing field, benefitting American companies. Here is the web-enhanced video of Obama's State of the Union 2012 speech.

It would have been cool if Obama would had sang a few bars of, “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now.” LOL

To see the speech go to http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/287237/20120125/obama-s-state-union-speech-2012-watch.htm

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

In unrelated Obama newz, he shocked the world when he showed his silly side during a fundraiser at The Apollo Theatre in Harlem when he sang in falsetto a few bars of Rev. Al Green’s hit, “Lets; Stay Together” on a dare. He has made such an impression, that on his website, they are selling an official ringtone of it.

Its BaROCK in action. We wouldn’t be surprised someone tried to Auto tune it or sample it under an electro beat. LOL

THE BIG STL A&E NEWZ STORY IS:

The St. Louis Rams organization announced this week that the team will play a “home” game away from home in London. According to reports, for at least the next three years, The Rams have agreed to "host" a "home" game in London next season (Fall 2012)against the Patriots , and they'll play London home games in 2013 and 2014, too.

Via the Rams' official website, here's a statement from team owner Stan Kroenke, who also happens to own English football club, Arsenal

"This is a tremendous honor for our franchise, the city of St. Louis and our fans throughout the world. We are excited about the opportunity to reach new audiences globally. This is a great platform to showcase the city of St. Louis to London and the UK.

"We've seen first-hand the increased popularity of the NFL not only in London but throughout Europe. To play a role in that growth over the next three years will be incredible and is a testament to the many good things happening not only in the NFL but also in the St. Louis Rams organization."

We see the connection here with Kroenke wanting to cross the waters with the team but what about those in St Louis who may not can attend the London game if they purchased season tickets? Will there be a free plane trip to London at least? How come the London team cant come to St Louis? That would make better sense we think.

+++++++++

In related Kroenke newz, it was reported that he may have an interest in buying the Los Angeles Dodgers, The Los Angeles Times reports the Dodgers have received more than 10 opening bids to buy the Major League Baseball club, and that Kroenke has explored whether to bid for the team.

A baseball official told the Post-Dispatch on Tuesday that he heard Kroenke had expressed interest, and that Kroenke had inquired about the process. But the official said he was unaware if Kroenke had followed through and actually made a bid.

NFL sources said any interest Kroenke may or may not have in purchasing the Dodgers is mutually exclusive from anything going on with the St. Louis Rams.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

New Rams coach Jeff Fischer has hired new assistants to his team. He hired defensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Gregg Williams to be his offensive and defensive coordinators Williams was Fisher's defensive coordinator with the Tennessee Titans from 1997-2000.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Former St Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa was named by the NL to manage the National League All-Star team for this year's All-Star Game, to be played in Kansas City on July 10. La Russa will reportedly lead the NL All-Stars for the third time and it will mark his sixth All-Star managing role overall.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

According to KSDK, police have officially cleared STL promoter Robert Kirk as a person of interest in the disappearance of Atlanta woman, Stacey English who was reported missing Dec 26 in Atlanta. Investigators say Kirk may have been the last person to see Stacey English before she went missing. According to several reports Kirks says he was visiting English at the time, but she asked him to leave following an argument. He spoke to investigators and gave them a detailed timeline of his whereabouts soon after

."To be cleared is great. It's a fantastic, phenomenal feeling, but she's still not found," Kirk told KSDK. "And if she is and its negative, I'm sure there's still going to be some things I am going to have to deal with on my end.".

UPDATE: According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a body was found under a fallen tree in Atlanta this week and the Medical Examiner identified the body Wednesday and concluded that it was English.

OUT 1093--ILLI MO BITZ (JAN 19-25)

2012-01-18T09:55:00.028-06:00

HEY OUTTOWNERS!

ITS THAT TIME!!

TIME TO GET TOWNED!!!

THE BIG A&E NEWZ STORY THIS WEEK IS:

President Barack Obama made fun of himself during Oak Park, Ill. Native actress Betty White during a TV special Monday celebrating her milestone 90^th bday. POTUS recorded a humorous tribute and
seen sending up "birther" theorists who demanded to see his long-form birth certificate in the video, as he claims that White cannot really be 90 years of age.

Penning a card for her in the Oval Office, the president says in voiceover: "Dear Betty. You look so fantastic and full of energy, I can't believe you're 90 years old. In fact, I don't believe it. That's why I'm writing to ask if you will be willing to produce a copy of your long-form birth certificate."

"Thanks, and happy birthday - no matter how old you are."

Obama is then seen placing a framed photograph of White alongside pictures of his family and listening to the Golden Girls theme tune thought headphones at his desk, nodding in time.

Through polite laughter from the crowd, White blew Obama kiss after the segment was over.
The clip aired as part of NBC special Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl which attracted 13.85million viewers to the network), while her new series Betty White's Off Their Rockers pulled in 12.23million.

The only gripe we had on this was, it aired during MLK’s bday—shouldn’t NBC had done a special for him instead and maybe push White’s special on Tuesday, the actual day of her bday??? We are just saying.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
In related newz, Obama's wife Michelle celebrated her 48^th bday ironically on the same day with Betty White.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In related Obama newz, he and FLOTUS welcomed the 2011 St Louis Cardinals to the White House Tuesday (PIC by whitehouse.gov). Dubbed " The Greatest Comeback Team in the History of Baseball" Obama said in the East Room of the White House of their feat, "That has to be one of the best baseball games of all time."

Leading off at the event was first lady Michelle Obama. And with a swing of the bat, she was the highlight of the event.

Mrs. Obama, who was present at the series opener at Busch Stadium, thanked the Cardinals for all they do for military families. Then team owner Bill de Witt gave both Obamas team jerseys and souvenir bats.

"I'm a little bit worried about giving my wife a bat," the president joked. "If I mess up..."

His wife deadpanned, "I'll take my bat," then hefted and glancing meaningfully in Obama's direction, as Cardinals players, team officials and Missouri lawmakers chuckled.

Two key figures of the championship season were absent. Manager Tony La Russa retired after the series. and star Albert Pujols signed a $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And in more Obama newz, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama greeted actual Tuskegee Airmen ahead of a screening of Anthony Hemingway’s “Red Tails,” on Monday which opens in theaters on Friday.

STL NEWZ

THE BIG STL NEWZ STORY IS:

The St Louis Rams organization held a press conference at Rams Park this week to report that Former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher agreed to a five-year contract worth a reported $7 million per season late last week to be the new coach for the Rams. Fisher and the Rams reportedly had to agree on a list of about two dozen items, including the makeup of the coaching staff and front office.

Fisher, who joined the dais with Rams owner Stan Kroenke (PIC by stamfordadvocate.com) reportedly took his time deciding between The Rams and The Dolphins before agreeing to terms with the Rams late last week and finalizing the contract Monday. When he was formally introduced as the new Rams' coach Tuesday, Fisher said his decision was made easy.

"My decision was very, very simple. It was based on the collective vision of (owner) Stan (Kroenke) and (chief operating officer) Kevin (Demoff) for the future of this franchise. More specifically, restoring this franchise to a place of significance," Fisher said. "It was that vision that made my decision very, very easy."

Fisher cited his shared vision with Kroenke and Demoff of building the Rams, who finished 2-14 last season, and how to go about obtaining that vision as the factors that led to his decision. He reiterated his choice between the Dolphins and Rams came down to "non-economic" factors and denied the reports he leveraged one organization against the other, saying "that was never true."

"I had two factors," Fisher said. "One was a good owner. The other was a good quarterback."

Fisher took his time deciding between the two franchises before agreeing to terms with the Rams late last week and finalizing the contract Monday. When he was formally introduced as the Rams' coach Tuesday, Fisher said his decision was made easy.

In related newz, members of the press asked Rams owner Stan Kroenke at the press conference if The Rams will remain in St Louis after the organization’s lease with the Edward Jones Dome is up in 2015.

"I think this is all out there," Kroenke said. "The chronology of what occurs with the lease is public knowledge. I think for me to comment on that process is particularly (un)timely. The city, or the (stadium) authority, they're dealing with their side of it. And they present a proposal to us by Feb. 1.

"So there's a team in place that deals with all that. So we'll see how that process sorts itself out. But it's a thing that takes place over time."

According to the stltoday.com, as part of the original lease agreement between the Rams and the Convention and Visitors Commission, if the dome is not deemed a "first-tier" facility — or among the top eight stadiums in the NFL — the Rams are free to leave St. Louis following the 2014 season

On the JC Corchoran radio show on KTRS this week, Corchoran said that there will be a back and forth with the Rams and CVC on a mutual agreement on the lease extension. If its not agreed upon, it will be decided by arbitration by June 1 and a decision will be made on whether The Rams will leave in 2015 by the end of the 2012 season. Also, he hinted that a new stadium is set to be built in Los Angeles, The Rams’ original home prior to coming to the STL in 1995, and that its going to be built for a possible move of the Rams back to L.A. Also that Jacksonville Jacquars, who’s owned by Shahid Khan ( who was in competition with Kronke to purchase the Rams when it was up for sale in 2010) may be moved to St Louis if the Edward Jones Dome lease is not renewed with the Rams.

There was, in addition to every booth containing Stan Musial memoriabilia. The MVP the World Series David Freese, his autograph at his booth was in high demand.
