Tom Brady"s haircut beckons Twitter trolls


The Evolution of Tom Brady"s Hair | E! News

FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 31 (UPI) -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady drew comparisons from Zach Morris, to Gordon Bombay, and "Good Will Hunting" characters Tuesday.

It was because of his 1990"s-esque haircut.

Brady, who recently sliced himself with scissors and had to sit out a preseason game because of the injury, maybe should have went a bit deeper with the clippers, according to the Twitter-verse.

The haircut also drew comparisons from "Boy Meets World," the cast from "Home Improvement," and even college-aged Christian Laettner.

The questions asked during the press conference weren"t so entertaining, in regards to his four-game suspension for his role in DeflateGate.

"It"ll be tough to watch," Brady told reporters at the press conference. "It"ll be fun to watch in some ways to see what it looks like when you"re not there, because it"s a different perspective. Hopefully, I can use that perspective and come back with better perspective, saying "wow, maybe I noticed some things that I wouldn"t of noticed had I been there."

Brady returns to the New England Patriots lineup for a week five matchup against the Cleveland Browns at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 in Cleveland.

Thursday Tailgate: Ranking tonight"s college football games


Hardest Hits of the 2015-16 College Football Season || Part 2 ᴴᴰ

The defensive brilliance of Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason should not be underestimated, but will his team score enough to win consistently?(Photo: Mark Humphrey, AP)

Last weeks kickoff Down Under provided a jump start, but the college football season begins in earnest on this night, fittingly the first of September.

Heres a quick ranking of the most meaningful tilts on the Thursday TV slate. All times Eastern.

1. South Carolina at Vanderbilt

Time/TV: 8 p.m., ESPN

Sure, neither of these teams is expected to contend for the SEC East title. But its a game that counts in the league standings nevertheless, and the winner can claim, for the moment at least, to be atop the division. In truth both squads likely need this "W"to avoid bringing up the rear when the campaign concludes. Gamecocks faithful are hoping that the hire of a former Florida head coach again leads to success.

Given Will Muschamps defensive bona fides and the strides made by the Commodores stoppers under head coach Derek Mason, dont expect this game to challenge any scoring records. The outcome will likely hinge on which team makes fewer mistakes. That might not bode well for Vandy, which has been undone by turnovers while dropping its last four season openers.

2. Rice at Western Kentucky

Time/TV: 8 p.m., CBSSN

The other game that will count in league standings is in Conference USA. Despite the graduation of QB Brandon Doughty, the host Hilltoppers are expected to contend for the league crown and will be solid favorites tonight. The Owls are well-coached and make the most of their available talent but figure to struggle to contain WKUs superior depth and talent. The Owls first and foremost must find a way to contain Hilltoppers RB Anthony Wales.

3. Appalachian State at No. 10 Tennessee

Time/TV: 7:30 p.m., SEC

The transition from long-time Southern Conference and perennial FCS title contender to Sun Belt Conference mainstay has gone well for Appalachian State, a program with a good track record that enjoys solid support from its community. Thoughan upset of the projected SEC East favorite would seem to be asking a lot, there isnt a Vols player or coach who isnt aware of the Mountaineers historic takedown of Michigan at the Big House a few years ago.

Tennessee should nevertheless take charge thanks to its physical advantage along the lines, but QB Joshua Dobbs will have to choose his targets carefully as he challenges an experienced Mountaineers secondary. Appalachian StateQB Taylor Lamb can make plays himself.

4. Oregon State at Minnesota

Time/TV: 9 p.m., BTN

Its a clash of power conference teams, though calling either of them a true contender in its respective league would be a bit of a stretch. The Golden Gophers are a bit farther along in the Big Ten.QB Mitch Leidner is back after directing a Quick Lane Bowl triumph against Central Michigan last season, and h**l look to get the new season off on the right foot in front of the home crowd.

The Beavers first season under coach Gary Andersen failed to produce a Pac-12 win, and they enter 2016 on a nine-game losing streak. Utah State transfer and new starting QB Darell Garretson, however, provided a reason for optimism with a big performance in OSUs spring game.

5.Indiana at Florida International

Time/TV: 7:30 p.m., ESPNU

For the Panthers, this rare home game against a power conference opponent should generate some early electricity in the stadium. But the Hoosiers, who ended a lengthy bowl drought a season ago, will be quite motivated to avoid the step back that a loss to FIU would represent.

RingoNewsArchive: Corey Feldman says Pedophilia is Hollywood"s Biggest Problem

E!

It was emotional night forTyler Henry"s clients.

In Wednesday"s all-new episodeHollywood Medium With Tyler Henry, the 20-year-old clairvoyant metwith actor and musicianCorey Feldman, reality personalityEvelyn Lozada and supermodelRachel Hunter.

Each of the celebrities had overwhelming experiences connecting with their loved ones, from Corey reuniting with his longtime friend to Evelyn receiving a poignant message from her brother-in-law. "I"m glad to know that we have men that are like our guardian angels and just holding it down for us and making sure we"re good!" the Livin" Lozada star gushed.

Catch up on the episode with these must-see moments!

1. Tyler Henry turned Corey Feldman into a believer:Tyler could immediately sense the actor was a skeptic as soon as he arrived at his home, but he was quickly able to change Corey"s mind when he revealed information about his grandfather"s brother that no one could possibly know. "Do you anyone that dealt with a skin abnormality on the head or face?" Tyler asked. "Yes! That"s crazy!" Coreyresponded, acknowledging it was actually a birthmark. "That was a crazy one. Because there"s no way anybody would have known that!"

E!

2. Tyler Henry connected with Corey Feldman"s best friend:Afterward, Corey handed Tyler a chain with a ring attached and he immediately felt the presence of someone who would have passed away from a drug overdose. Tyler had no idea who it was, but Feldman confirmed it was his close friend, late actor Corey Haim. "It all makes perfect sense really what you just described," he said.

Tyler explained that Haim was referencing to the writing of a book and encouraging Feldman to share more details about the suffering and abuse he endured during his life as a child star. "I know that I care," Feldman said. "I know that I want to do everything that I can to help others, but it"s a lot or responsibility and it does have its own level of very intense and very real danger attached to it."

E!

3. Tyler Henry advised Corey Feldman on coming forward about Corey Haim"s abuse:"The individual that"s being referred to clearly had lots of opportunities to interact with kids," Tyler toldhim. "All it will take is one person coming forward for a whole other group of people to come forward. It"s clear that other people would also come forward and support you."

Feldman feltthis was the reassurance he was hoping for. "Literally, I"ve been praying for several nights in a row for this answer," he said. "I feel like that whole thing was orchestrated by some greater power to help me find that answer."

4. Tyler Henry surprised Evelyn Lozada with an unexpected connection:"The man that"s coming through is really having me talk about with a living male who would be younger," TylertoldEvelyn and her daughter, Shaniece Hairston. "It would be either be like a son or a like grandson kind of a connection. He also, for whatever reason, took you being here as an opportunity for him to come through."

Evelyn and Shaniece weren"tsure who it could be at first, but they eventually realized it was the grandfather of Shaniece"s boyfriend,Zatwho was listening from the other roomwhen Tyler mentioned thename,George! "Shut the h**l up!" Evelyn exclaimed. "We"ve talked about wanting to connect with his grandfather!"

E!

5. Evelyn Lozada"s deceased brother-in-law acknowledged her previousabusive relationship: While communicating through Tyler, Evelyn"s beloved brother-in-law,Anthony, broughtup her firstmarriage. "There"s references to not being honest, not being completely transparent and ultimately not emotionally monogamous," Tyler said. "I feel like we go from a really bad situation to a great situation."

"That makes a lot of sense," Evelyn responded. "Right before he passed, I ended up getting married. And right before he officially passed awayhe was already in the hospitalthere was an incident with me and my ex-husband that put me in ahospital and then I ended up in hiding." Now that she"s moved on, Evelyn was curious to find out if Anthony approves of her current relationship. "It"s a thumbs up, for sure!" Tyler promised.

E!

6. Tyler Henry connected with Rachel Hunter"s horse:"This animal is acknowledging that when I know I"m going to deal with this, there"s no point in keeping me alive," Tyler said. "I definitely feel that coming through. Animals still have a connection to us, no different than a lot of people in life." Rachel wasamazed that he was able to communicate with her horse. "It just showed there are so many things that make you up as a human being and animals are one and I think there"s great comfort in that," she said.

E!

7. Tyler Henry predicted Rachel Hunter"s love life:"What"s kind of interesting is that I see you at your romantic happiest closer to likelike past the five-year mark," Tyler revealed. "Don"t worry. No doubt you"ll have partnerships and whatnot within this time frame, but it"s actually after the mark you reach the happiest, I think. Relationships can happen earlier.

Brazil"s Senate Votes To Impeach President Dilma Rousseff


Ronaldo Caiado Discurso ARREBATADOR "CANALHAS SÃO AQUELES " Impeachment Dilma Rousseff - 31/08/2016

Three months after suspending President Dilma Rousseff over charges she manipulated government funds to cover up debts, Brazil"s Senate voted to impeach her on Wednesday.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

Today, a dramatic scene in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia.

(SOUNDBITE OF BRAZILIAN SENATE ANNOUNCEMENT)

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Speaking Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: Senators chose to impeach the country"s president, Dilma Rousseff, by a vote of 61 to 20.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Speaking Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: After the announcement, senators joined together singing the national anthem.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "HINO NACIONAL BRASILEIRO")

UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: (Singing in Brazilian Portuguese).

SHAPIRO: Joining us from the senate now is NPR"s Lulu Garcia-Navarro. And, Lulu, what does this historic vote mean for Brazil?

LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: Well, it"s a very important moment, as you can imagine. It"s an enormous defeat for Dilma Rousseff and her leftist Workers" Party. And while it moves Brazil out of the immediate political crisis that it"s been facing for many months now with the new president, Michel Temer, at the helm, it hardly, Ari, heals the wounds of this divisive process.

You know, many people will be deeply upset by this. Also, let"s not forget Brazil is still in the midst of a huge financial crisis - 11 percent unemployment. And there"s a massive corruption investigation still underway that has implicated many, including the new president, Michel Temer. So certainly the end of one era, but not an easy path forward for Brazil.

SHAPIRO: Rousseff has maintained her innocence from the beginning. Remind us how we got here.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Yeah. As with everything, it depends who you speak to. Supporters of Dilma Rousseff see this as a coup. I was speaking to the head of the Union for Domestic Workers yesterday. And she said under Rouseff"s tenure, rights and protections for domestic workers and other vulnerable people expanded, so she"s a huge supporter.

But let"s not forget this is not only the end of Rousseff"s era, but it"s the end of 13 years of leftist rule in Latin America"s largest economy. And that will have profound implications for the country and the region. Michel Temer, the new president, is right of center. So is his cabinet. On the other side, those who support Michel Temer say that she sank the economy. She"s a financial dinosaur, as one analyst told me, who couldn"t change her ways when ill economic winds began blowing.

SHAPIRO: How are ordinary Brazilians reacting to all of this?

GARCIA-NAVARRO: There really haven"t been protests. Not a lot of people out on the streets after the vote was taken. I think people are exhausted by this drama, but we have to remember that this impeachment was driven by the largest protests in Brazil"s history. And after the announcement, there were fireworks in some city neighborhoods across the country celebrating Rousseff"s removal. Some people will definitely see this as a fresh start. Dilma Rousseff herself spoke after the vote. She called the new government that has taken over racist, misogynistic and homophobic, and she predicted fierce opposition to its policies.

SHAPIRO: Well, what do you expect we will see from the Brazilian government in the way of new policies?

GARCIA-NAVARRO: Well, certainly, Temer is right of center, but he is hugely unpopular. Many see him as illegitimate, as tainted, so he is not going to have an easy ride. He will be in power for the next two years, seeing out the rest of Dilma Rousseff"s term, but he will face a lot of opposition. People are very divided here on the direction in which the country should go.

SHAPIRO: That"s NPR"s Lulu Garcia-Navarro in Brasilia on the historic impeachment vote ousting Dilma Rousseff. Thank you, Lulu.

GARCIA-NAVARRO: You"re welcome.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff ousted in impeachment vote


Brésil : la présidente Dilma Rousseff destituée

BRASILIA President Dilma Rousseff was stripped of her office Wednesday in the culmination of a political crisis that has left Latin Americas largest nation adrift, with an economy in deep recession and a public sharply divided over the countrys future.

Rousseff was impeached on arcane charges having to do with violating budget laws. But she was swept up in a tide of revulsion against Brazils political class as the once-flourishing economy contracted and political parties were tarred by a massive corruption scandal.

Wednesdays 61-to-20 Senate vote closed out an extraordinary 13-year rule by the leftist Workers Party, which boasted of lifting tens of millions of Brazilians out of poverty before the economy began to nosedive and its political fortunes soured.

Rousseff was replaced by her former vice president and coalition partner, Michel Temer, who has been running Brazil as interim president since she was suspended to face the impeachment trial in May. He belongs to the more conservative Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, or PMDB, and is trying to introduce austerity measures to right the economy.

Brazil"s embattled president, Dilma Rousseff, is no longer the country"s top politician. The judgment ends a a protracted process which began last December when the impeachment request got the green light in Brazil"s lower house. (Marina Lopes, Dom Phillips, Jason Aldag / The Washington Post)

But Temer is as unpopular as Rousseff, and whether he can muster the political support for such changes was unclear.

Still, some Brazilians felt a sense of relief that the country had at last reached a decision on an impeachment process it began eight months ago.

The impeachment does not in any way resolve the political or economic crisis, but it gives us some hope, because for the first time in a long time, we will have a plan, said Lucas de Arago, director of Arko Advice, a political analysis firm in Brasilia.

Rousseffs removal marked the latest setback for Latin Americas left, which had been on the ascendancy just a few years ago in Argentina, Venezuela and other countries but has increasingly struggled amid a continent-wide economic slowdown and a series of corruption scandals.

The leftist governments of Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia recalled their ambassadors from Brazil on Wednesday after the vote, denouncing a coup by its Senate.

Indeed, many Brazilians believe Rousseff was removed not so much for her misdeeds as for her plunging popularity ratings. The impeachment trial may leave a legacy of distrust in Brazils political system, particularly among Workers Party supporters. There were demonstrations in cities across Brazil protesting the impeachment on Wednesday.

The trial ended with a series of emotional speeches in which the sympathizers of Brazils first female president made clear they felt the process was unjust.

Scoundrels! Sen. Lindbergh Farias, a member of her Workers Party, roared at one point.

Coup mongers! History wont forgive you! Rousseffs supporters chanted at another point. She was not present in the Senate for the vote.

Brazils highly respected former chief justice, Joaquim Barbosa, attacked the impeachment process.

It is highly embarrassing. All of a sudden highly conservative forces took over all of Brazil, he tweeted.

For her part, Rousseff responded by calling the Senate ruling the second coup she had faced in her life after a military takeover decades ago. The second [coup], delivered by way of a judicial farce, took me down from a role the people elected me to, she said in a speech delivered to supporters and former colleagues.

Rousseff came to power in January 2011 at a time when the country was booming and the Workers Party led by her predecessor and political mentor, Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, known as Lula was widely popular. She was reelected in 2014. But slumping oil prices and what many called inept political management dragged down the economy, which shrunk nearly 4percent last year while inflation and unemployment surged. The country lost its precious investment grade rating.

Meanwhile, millions of Brazilians took to the streets to protest an enormous corruption scandal at state-run oil company Petrobras that has ensnared politicians from Rousseffs party and its allies.

Since Temer became interim leader in May, there have been signs of a recovery of economic confidence, such as a reduction in credit default swap numbers. That indicates a drop in the level of risk that investors see in Brazil, said Armando Castelar, a professor of economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Temer is regarded as a wily political operator and has extensive congressional experience.

I think he can put Brazil back on some kind of track, said Heron do Carmo, a professor of economics at the University of Sao Paulo.

But there are already cracks showing in his coalition, with some party chiefs threatening to leave the alliance.

On Wednesday, the center-right Brazilian Social Democratic Party warned the new president that he needed to prove he was serious about tough fiscal reforms.

Temers party needs to clearly state the level of its compromise with this government and the agenda of reforms that need to be put before the National Congress immediately, said Aecio Neves, the partys president.

Meanwhile, Temers popularity has plunged since he became interim president and immediately appointed an all-male cabinet. Within weeks, two of his ministers quit after being secretly recorded apparently plotting to obstruct the popular Petrobras investigation.

Many believe Temer could also still be embroiled in the Petrobras case, which has led to investigations of politicians from his party as well as Rousseffs for alleged receipt of bribes and kickbacks.

A former Petrobras executive cooperating with the investigation has said that Temer asked for an illicit $400,000 campaign donation in 2012 for his partys candidate for mayor of Sao Paulo. Temer denied the allegation.

The problem is if there is a bruising denunciation against Michel Temer, said Jairo Nicolau, a professor of political science at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil has now impeached two of the four presidents it has elected since returning to democracy in 1985 after two decades of military dictatorship.

We had four presidents elected, and two were removed. What democracy is this? Sen. Jorge Viana of the Workers Party asked in a speech during the voting session.

Rousseff was charged with financial irregularities using government banks to temporarily fund social programs and issuing spending decrees without congressional approval. Her opponents maintained that her actions contributed to the recession, the worst in decades in Brazil.

Rousseff maintained her innocence, saying she engaged in practices typical for Brazilian politicians. She has accused Temer of being one of the protagonists of the effort to oust her.

During questioning by senators on Monday, she denounced the trial as a coup and referred to the torture she suffered as a young Marxist guerrilla imprisoned by Brazils military dictatorship in the 1970s.

I was scared of death, of the marks of torture on my body and my soul, she said. Today I only fear the death of democracy.

Temer shot back at Rousseff at a meeting with ministers Wednesday that was open to journalists, according to O Globo newspaper.

A coup monger is someone who violates the constitution, he declared.

Phillips reported from Rio de Janeiro.

LISTEN: Here"s the 911 call that was made after Teddy Bridgewater got hurt


SCRIPTED- Teddy Bridgewater"s fake 8-30-16 injury +U.S. Bank Stadium, Denny Green, Prince & Kaep

When an NFL player goes down with an injury, it"s not always clear how bad it is. But in the case of Teddy Bridgewater, it"s pretty evident that the Vikings knew right away that they were dealing with something serious.

Just minutes after the Bridgewater went down, an employee of the team called 911 in order to get an ambulance to the Vikings" practice facility as quickly as possible.

In the call, which you can hear below, a dispatcher is asking paramedics to quickly get to "9520 Vikings Drive" because someone there has suffered a "dislocated knee."

Bridgewater went down just before 2 p.m. CT on Tuesday.

By 2:08 p.m CT, there was already an ambulance on the scene.

The quick response paid off big time for Bridgewater. A league source told injury expert Will Carroll that the quick action by the team trainers and the paramedics "may have saved [Bridgewater"s] leg and career."

Although Bridgewater"s injury was serious, it easily could"ve been more serious if there had been any lag in response time.

A few hours after Bridgewater was taken to a nearby hospital, the Vikings officially announced that their quarterback would miss the 2016 season after suffering a dislocated kneecap and a torn ACL.

"Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice," the team said in a statement. "The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage."

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was emotional when talking about Bridgewater"s injury on Tuesday.

"We"re gonna grieve today and be upset about it," Zimmer said. "Teddy"s a great kid, and he"ll be back as soon as he possibly can, if it is real bad. But we"re going to keep fighting."

Bridgewater is expected to make a full recovery.
