Do The Right Thing

NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, is scheduled to punish Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for his second sexual assault accusation within 12 months. To Roethlisbergers credit, no charges will be filed against him by the State of Georgia, citing there was no incriminating evidence, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL seem to not be pleased with his lack of responsible decision making over the past three years.

Lets be real. Many are awaiting to see if consequences are gonna equal that of previous players (Adam "Pac Man" Jones, Tank Johnson, Michael Vick, etc.) Some of these players were not convicted, yet punished by NFL for inappropriate behavior. You gotta know if the consequences do not equal to some of the others there is gonna be hugh public reaction. IJS

Marvin Gaye: Here My Dear

By 1976, the relationship between Marvin Gaye and his first wife, Anna Gordy, had become estranged and was far from being repaired. Marvin, who was now carrying on an open relationship with singer Janis Hunter, and Anna often accused each other of infidelity over the years before his relationship with Hunter.

At this time, Marvin was running low on money because of an extravagant spending habit to support his lifestyle which included, among other things, a fleet of cars, several homes in and outside the country, and an increasing cocaine habit. Marvin's spending habits had made it impossible for the singer to pay Anna money for alimony and child support for the couple's only son, Marvin III. Marvin's attorney Curtis Shaw came up with a solution to Marvin to give half the royalties he would earn from his next project to Anna. After agreeing to the deal, the singer went into his recording studio in an effort to give Motown a "lazy, bad" album starting sessions in the spring of 1976. However, as Marvin set on making the "lazy" album, the singer's deep emotions and bittersweet feelings for his soon-to-be former wife took over the music
