Going to Denver and the Tigers with the MMN After Show w/ Craig Click HereSenator Hillary Rodham Clinton was in the spotlight last night at the Democratic National Convention. Clinton says Barack Obama is getting her support and she urged all Democrats to follow suit Click Here . And while Hillary is expected to be there tomorrow night when Obama accepts the nomination, it doesn't look as if hubby Bill will. If you had a flight to the East Coast Tuesday, you most likely experienced massive delays after a glitch in the FAA computer system out of Atlanta occured. The good news is she was wearing a bra. The bad news is she was wearing a bra. Her mama may be glad but she didn't get to see her mama on time when she got stopped boarding a flight and wearing an underwire bra. Speaking of bras.. this Memphis woman isn't wearing any here and that's got her in some hot water. She's taking it off in a public park. Thanks to the hard work of our sister station Action News 5. Here's the earliest picture we could find of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps.

Obama, Bass Pro and Cop Rock.. all on today's MMN After Show w/ Craig Click Here . It's still not a done deal.. and skeptics will say "it never will be".. but reps from Bass Pro finally used the GPS and found Memphis on Monday. They outlined their $100 million project to develop the Pyramid which includes about $30 million in local funding efforts. The plans call from a massive hotel on the site, restaurants, retail shops and conservation exhibits. Tonight's night two of the Democratic National Convention. Last night, Michelle Obama took center stage. Tonight's it's Hillary's turn. Here's the new list of stars on the next season of the ABC hit "Dancing With The Stars". There's a phony sweepstakes circulating that's becoming more creative to take your hard-earned dollars. Randy Hutchinson with the Mid-South Better Business Bureau outlined what you need to watch out for Click Here . Baseball's Barry Bonds says since he's not been found guilty of anything.. he wants the charges against him dropped. Charges stem back to 2003 following a grand jury probe regarding alleged steroid use.

Say it ain't so Joe? You gotta be kidding me? Is someone pulling my leg or are we really expected to believe that Bass Pro is coming to Memphis today to finally agree on a deal to develop the aging Pyramid? It's been years since we've beren talking about this.. Greg Erickson wanted it.. A South Memphis Church wanted it.. a new group involving some former Tigers and sports officials wanted it. But it looks like the city's Robert Lipscomb and the mayor are intent on hadning the deal over to BassPro. We'll see how much they open their arms today when they pay us a visit. Here's the new list of stars on the next season of the ABC hit " Dancing With The Stars".
If you run a restaurant or bar.. watch out. Someone may want your stainless steel beer kegs. They're becoming big bucks and hot items to be stolen. Guess who's in the news again? Madonna. It's being called her "sticky" Tour throughout the United Kingdom.

Poor, poor Joseph Lee. Doesn't get severance and benefits..only his half-million dollar legal fees paid. See how I really feel on today's MMN After Show Click Here . It's one of my favorite events and fundraisers of the year. Saturday night, August 23 from 6pm to 9pm at the Hilton Hotel out East, SRVS will hold its' annual "Spirit of SRVS". Get tickets here. And join me in the event as Donna Palmer, Melinda Johnson and me discuss this party Click Here . It's nice to see people giving back. Example- Penny Hardaway giving a million bucks back to the University of Memphis. Speaking of the University, don't forget tomorrow's Fan Fest from 3-5pm at the Murphy Complex. It's free..yes, I said FREE and you'll get a chance to meet the football team and Coach Tommy West. You never know who's going to pull up to a drive-thru? Just ask these baristas who were just trying to serve some coffee when a man wearing just a bra and panties pulled up. These are bikini-clad baristas as well..so enjoy. It would be nice to hit the lottery just once.. but four times? This Wisconsin couple is indeed on a winning streak. I guess iit's never too old to have children. Here's a story of a 61-year old who gave birth to her own grandchild. A dog elected Mayor? yes. Rabbithash is the city. Take a look at the pooch and all about this very historic town.

If you don't feel comfortable attending funerals.. here's a way to pay your respect and still attaned. How about Funerals on the Web? As you know, I'm a big Yankees fan (sorry, R.C. Johnson).. but I'm welcoming the decision to allow instant replays in some plays during regular baseball games. Too many umps are getting the calls wrong lately. And rather than prolong a heated argument via Lou Pinella style.. watching an instant replay for the umps will take less time than letting a ticked-off manager rip up a few bases and kick dirt around. Are you watching the Olympics because you love the sport and competition or because you like watching the women play Beach Volleyball? If the answer is watching the gals.. here's something that may satisfy you.

Mayoral apppintees and you.. all on today's MMN After Show w/ Craig Click Here . This is VERY important. It concerns your health and hospital treatments. To see the death rate in hospitals when treating heart attacks and other ailments, click here and see how our area hospitals rank. The figures have been gathered and published for the first time ever using medicare and medicaid reporting. Have you ever watched Criss Angel Mindfreak? He has a show on A&E. Check out these card tricks. Master them and impress your friends. This is bizarre. An agency responsible for helping older Americans is being sued over age discrimination. And that agency is AARP. Did you ever get spanked or paddled in school? That's a big area of controversy in recent years but a new survey out today claims minorities and the disadvantaged are being punished more than others. If you don't feel comfortable attending funerals.. here's a way to pay your respect and still attaned. How about Funerals on the Web?

It's Monday August 18th and I'm back. Reality set it about 2am when my alarm went off this morning. Vacation is officially over. It's back to work (at least for 3 more weeks when I take another week off). It took me all last week to catch up my shows on my DVR. Going tO bed weeknights at 8pm means anything that starts after 8pm gets recorded. You'd be surprised how many shows you automatically record to watch later. But I caught up. Now I finally know who shot J.R. And back is also the MMN After Show. Take a listen Click Here . This could be bad news for John McCain. It apears as if the TV networks are courting young voters. The government's getting into the fitness business, of sorts. Personal Trainer Tommy Gerber says we all remember those school fitness tests in the past, but now you can take one online Click Here . You can write Tommy at Tgerber@comcast.net It's the final week for the Olympics in China. Congrats to THE story of the games so far. and that's to Michael Phelps. And did you hear this.. China is confiscating bibles now? And many who had their books taken away are now refusing to leave the country.

Friday's MMN After Show w/ Craig Click Here
Incumbent 9th District Congrressman Steve Cohen beat his opponent Nikki Tinker is Thursday's democratic primary, 79% to 19%. And incumbent 7th District Congressman Marsha Blackburn easily defeated her GOP challenger, Tom Leatherwood, 62% to 38% of the vote. Blackburn's spralwing district that covers 15-counties from East Shelby County to Clarksville through Middle Tennessee, proved too much for the local Leatherwood to compete with. Cohen says he ran on his record and apparently claims by Tinker of Cohen's involvement with KKK and Cohen's tirade going off on a California reporter at Cohens home this week, didn't bother voters at all. And the winner is.. "thank ya very much".. Carlie Goins from Texas Tech. She won the MySpace Elvis Karaoke Contest and will perfom at Graceland next Tuesday night. Her rendition of " If I Can Dream" gave her top honors and the right to sing next week here during Elvis Week. Brett Favre is jet " Jet Favre".. the long-time Green Bay Packer was traded yesetrday to the New York Jets. It follows a falling out after Favre announced his retirement then changed his mind and the Pack told him they were going in a different direction. He'll have his work cut out for himself.. age and a new team he's very unfamiliar with. But he's a steady pro and will make this work for the Jets.
