idahojetsfan Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 BRITNEY'S HOUSE BURNED DOWN OMG 'Big Brother' contestant's Hillcrest home burns LITTLE ROCK — The Hillcrest home of a contestant on the CBS reality show "Big Brother" was heavily damaged in a fire early Wednesday, the same day she is to appear on the program's live finale. Laura Grisham said her son, Nick Grisham, was awakened by the blaze at the home on the corner of Van Buren Street and Lee Avenue. Nick Grisham, who made it out without injury, is the fiance of Britney Haynes, the 23-year-old woman eliminated from winning the reality competition in last week's episode. She is slated to vote for the show's winner in tonight's finale. Laura Grisham said the couple picked out the rental home and that her son in July helped move Haynes' belongings into the residence after she left to appear on "Big Brother," where she is sequestered from the outside world. Nick Grisham called the producers to let them know about the fire, Laura Grisham said. "He told them what happened and they agreed they wouldn't say anything to Britney," Laura Grisham said. "She can't do anything. The final show is tonight and it's live. There's no sense in her knowing." Nick Grisham went back inside to rescue the couple's two dogs and family members have been able to salvage some possessions, Laura Grisham said. She said her son will fly to Los Angeles later Wednesday to meet Haynes after the show. He's concerned about how Haynes will react to the news, Laura Grisham said. "He hasn't seen her in three months and he's afraid she's going to be mad," Laura Grisham said. "I said 'you don't understand son, you are lucky to be alive, especially after going back in two more times to get the dogs out.'" The blaze was started by a small grill in the backyard that ignited the grass, spreading to a trash can and then the house, investigators said. Laura Grisham said her son was grilling and that the fire started despite his dousing the coals in water. The house was fully involved when crews arrived about 1:30 a.m., said Little Rock Fire Department Capt. Randy Hickmon. It took about an hour-and-a-half to get the fire under control. The single-story, blue structure is still standing with a large burned area at its rear, where the windows are boarded up and a tarp covers part of the roof and an adjacent wall. Burn and heat marks are visible on other parts of the structure. Preliminary total damage is estimated at $50,000.

idahojetsfan Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 ragan blogged I’m back home! Amazing= hanging out with my friends and listening to Hole. A few quick notes & answers to FAQ: ■Thanks to all the people who supported me this summer. I’m overwhelmed by your generosity. I’ll even shout out to the haters. We, evidently, had a number of polarizing cast members this season. Whether it’s love or hate, it’s great to see people make such a substantial investment in the show. I don’t take any of the hate personally, ‘cuz I spent the last 10 years loving and hating houseguests from seasons 2-11 and I knew what I was getting myself into when I signed up for the show. Love me or hate me, “Big Brother” fans are the greatest. That said, Team Ragan f’ing rocks! I have crap loads of email and tweets to get through. If I don’t respond to you immediately, be patient. It may take me some time but I intend to write you back. ■Matt, Stacy, my friend Peter, and I stayed up until 4 a.m. looking and laughing at all the photoshopped images of the BB12 cast. The photoshop forum on SurvivorSucks blew my mind. Amazing. Hilarious! I wish somebody would make a book out of all the art the posters created. ■A special shout-out to my amazing friends and family. I know all of this has been a crazy ride for you and it certainly wasn’t anything YOU signed up for. I am humbled by your grace and love. ■I’m not going to Vegas. As far as I know, Matt and I are the only 2 BB12 cast members who won’t be there for the festivities. Matt and Stacy are going to San Diego for their 1-year anniversary. I’m staying in LA ‘cuz I have to jump right back into my life and career; plus, my stepfather is flying into town this weekend to give me a “big surprise.” I know for sure that Brit and Kristen are in Vegas. Give them lots of love. ■Finale night, Lane’s gorgeous and kind mother told me that two Team Ragan billboards were erected (LOL, erected) in Texas. I’d love to see pictures of them; I’d also love to talk to the person who put them up. ■On finale night, somebody also told Britney and me that they were hooking us up with a Lady GaGa connection. If you’re out there, please find us. I’m all about the GaGa. ■For those of you who don’t already know, Britney’s home burned to the ground the night before finale. I think a donation fund is going to be set up for her. Please keep your eye out for it and donate. She lost almost everything & doesn’t have insurance. ■A shout-out to BB production, the hardest working folks in TV. I can’t wait to see the season. A special thank you to every man and woman in the diary room. Thank you for putting up with my meltdowns. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ■My brilliant colleague Ann Johnson wrote a blog entry for FlowTV, in which she reflects on my participation on BB. I really like what she says about my crying.

As a defender, Wilson tackled the opposition ten times (4 solo) and stole one pass for an interception. Wilson added to his Ironman status by returning 60 kicks for over 850 yards with three touchdown returns. Wilson started the first 11 games for the Sharks in their inaugural season before leaving the line-up with an injury to his eye. Wilson saw action in one more game that season as a non-starter. He was nominated for the AFL’s Ironman of the Week five times, winning the award in Week 7. He was also nominated for Offensive Player of the Week one time. The Jacksonville Sharks announce offensive lineman Issac Morales returns to the Sharks for 2011. Morales (6’6, 325, Wyoming) returns to the Sharks after a successful rookie season in 2010. Morales started 13 of the 17 games for the Sharks in their inaugural season - missing four games on injured reserve. Morales will continue to anchor the offensive line in his sophomore season. Morales may be looking to show his versatility, too. In 2010, Morales caught the only pass thrown his way last season. Against the Blaze in Utah, Morales hauled in a reception for a six-yard touchdown. The Jacksonville Sharks announce wide receiver Sale’ Key will continue catching passes for the Sharks in 2011. Key (6’5, 215, Idaho State) returns to the Sharks after his best statistical year in the Arena Football League. Key came to the Sharks with two previous season in the AFL in both Utah and New Orleans. In those two years, Key totaled five touchdowns - all receiving.

Key also rushed the ball six times for nine net yards and two touchdowns. Key contributed on defense with 18 tackles (6 solo) and four pass break-ups. On special teams, Key returned seven kickoffs for 30 yards. Key was recognized by the league for stellar play in week 17 as a finalist for the AFL’s Ironman of the Week after starting at jack-linebacker. Key notched seven tackles (3 solo) and four pass deflections. Key also caught two receptions for 13 yards and rushed the ball twice for a yard. The Jacksonville Sharks announce defensive lineman Justin Parrish rejoins the Sharks for 2011. Parrish (6’2, 255, Kent State) returns to a defense that led the Arena Football League in several statistical categories in 2010. Parrish saw action in 13 of the 16 regular season games in 2010, starting three at linebacker and four as defensive end. Parrish finished the season as a finalist for the AFL Defensive Player of the Week in both Week 5 and Week 14. Parrish finished his rookie season in the AFL as a major contributor to the best scoring defense in the league last season. He wrapped up the opposition with 32 total tackles (21 solo). For Parrish, three was the magic number. Parrish tallied three pass break-ups, three sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Parrish returned two of the recoveries for touchdowns - both on Sea Best Field. The Jacksonville Sharks announce fullback, linebacker Kirby Griffin returns to the Sharks for 2011. Griffin (6’1, 280, Cal-PA) is a dual threat in the back-field as a rookie. Rushing the ball, Griffin carried the ball 50 times for 127 net yards and 14 touchdowns. Griffin also caught seven passes out of the back-field for a total of 76 yards and one touchdown. Griffin also stopped the opposition ten times - eight solo tackles. Griffin rejoins the Sharks after rushing for 14 touchdowns - third best amoung all fullbacks in the Arena Football League in 2010. He also placed 9th overall in total net rushing yards. Griffin, the franchise’s only player to ever start at fullback, started all 16 regular season games and the playoff game in 2010. The Jacksonville Sharks announce offensive/defensive lineman Randy Degg returns to the Sharks for 2011. Degg (6’3, 310, Northwood) returns to the Sharks after starting every game in 2010 at center.

idahojetsfan Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 BIG NEWS The Jacksonville Sharks announce quarterback Aaron Garcia, the Arena Football League’s most prolific passer, returns to Jacksonville for 2011. Garcia (6’1, 195, Sacramento State) will compete in his 17th season in the AFL in 2011. The veteran quarterback surpassed several milestones in the Sharks’ inaugural season becoming the all-time leader in passing yards (45,098), passing touchdowns (962) and total touchdowns (1,007). “Our top priority was getting Aaron back,” commented Sharks’ head coach Les Moss. “He was one of the main reasons we were so successful in our inaugural season. He’s a great leader and a key to us in our championship bid for the 2011 season.” Last season, Garcia started 15 of 16 regular season games and one playoff game as the Sharks’ signal caller. Garcia completed 314 of his 490 passing attempts for over 3,700 yards for 82 touchdowns. Garcia matched a career high 16 interceptions and added one rushing touchdown on nine attempts. Over his illustrious career, Garcia has been heralded as one of the greatest players to play the Brawl Between the Walls. A two-time All-AFL quarterback, Garcia was named the 2001 Offensive Player of the Year after becoming the first player in the history of football to throw for 100 or more touchdowns in a season - a feat he duplicated in 2003. In 2006, Garcia was named the 11th best player to ever play Arena Football. During the season, he passed former AFL quarterback Clint Dolezel at the top of the list for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a career. Garcia was nominated as the AFL Offensive Player of the Week five times in 2010 and was honored with the AFL Highlight of the Week twice. In 2011, Garcia can move up the ranks in a few other passing categories. He only needs 13 passing attempts to surpass Dolezel for second in career attempts - 540 to pass Andy Kelly for the all-time top spot. Garcia can leap over Dolezel with 168 completions and take Kelly’s all-time best record with 305 completion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idahojetsfan Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 WOW A GREAT COLLEGE QB WHO NEVER GOT A CHANCE IN THE NFL IS GOING TO THE AFL CLEVELAND HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED QB Kurt Rocco 6’5 230 10/8/87 Mount Union Late round gems at the quarterback position are a rare commodity especially when they hail from a Division III school. The perennial powerhouse Mount Union has produced a signal caller with the coveted attributes that make scouts drool in their lanky leader Kurt Rocco. At 6’5” 215lbs. Rocco has the sought after intangibles that the NFL brass looks for with a decent amount of pocket awareness and shiftiness for a big man as well as a prototypical delivery of the football. His 70 percent completion percentage during his collegiate career is an eye opening stat at any level of competition with nearly 4,000 yards and a 42 to 8 touchdown to interception ratio. There is definitely some upside to any quarterback with that size and the production that he has produced during his time at Mount Union. One thing that is weighing on Rocco’s potential is his lack of bulk with a rather gaunt build carrying just 215 pounds at 6’5” he looks awfully skinny. Scouts wonder whether he could survive physically with the rigors of NFL football and if he can generate enough downfield velocity to complete deep throws at the next level. It’s highly likely that most teams would prefer to see at least 10 more pounds added to his frame in order to show that he has the body of a potential NFL player. His numbers in college were quite good, but most of those statistics were accumulated in yards after the catch by his receivers with a number of short routes in the playbook at Mount Union. There may be a cannon hidden somewhere in Rocco’s right shoulder, but it has yet to be seen by scouts. Getting drafted might be a bit of a longshot for this young man, but he will definitely be considered by a number of teams as both the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints have already had him in for a workout. Don’t be surprised if he is a late round choice based on the potential to develop into something special at the next level. A number of names will be called during April’s NFL Draft that seem to be from out of left field, but don’t let Kurt Rocco’s be one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
