Tired of getting your news the old fashioned way by having the lake. Free agents don't thing it we gotta do something stupid TV three didn't just stay tuned -- Dennis and Callahan. And then yeah. It is to win its headlines hello. It's good enough for a moment WEEI Sports Radio network.
Brooke and Algerian for DNC on this Labor Day Monday and so there are some headlines making news that we felt we share with you today some interesting stories. As kind of going through these this morning Larry and frankly here's one out of the Tennessean. That I think is just to sort of a sign of the times here mayor Johnny piper of Clarksville. Tennessee is being criticized. By local and national Muslims. For affording an anti Islamic email. Last week -- email urges quote patriotic Americans to protest a US Postal Service stamp commemorating two Islamic politics. Now the mayor did not make any comments in his email the body which has been circulating. Nationally and thank you may get it in your own inbox. The way that things you know you get spam email like I do. The email asks readers remember a series. Of what it calls Muslim terrorist attacks for example remember the Muslim bombing of the World Trade Center. In 1993. And after a series of similar comments. The email concludes to use this -- would be a slap in the face to all those Americans. Who died at the hands of those who -- this -- of the stamp honors. Remember pass this along to every patriotic American that you know and let's get the word out according to the US Postal Service. The -- commemorates the two most important festivals or sides. In the Islamic calendar. I had all fitter and hide all odd hop. Probably did not do that justice. On these days Muslims -- each other Eid Mubarak which is a phrase featured an Islamic calligraphy on the stamp. Translates -- as blessed festival. And -- paraphrase dismay -- religious holiday. Be blessed the email falsely claims that the stamp is new and that -- creation was ordered by president Barack Obama.
So. Is this a case of the the Postal Service producing. A couple of stamps and non Arab Muslim holiday. I think it's a case of somebody trying to shouted down that anything that's Islamic well I think they get olive view U Ulanova they did you think you'd be able to. Produce an American stamps no. I mean it really is it it really does get to a point where you get lost in this stuff and we lose our identity totally. It's but you can't please everybody keep everybody happy in knowing you know you can't but he's not and I think something that was bit at least somewhat on face value innocently is being turned in twisted in being.

The answer to the question what meat do sharks prefer darker light Jeb -- of course you know -- sacrifice myself for you. You I don't I don't know I would not hold your I actually.

You know that's an interesting debate I guess whether you're -- proof needed for the dogs or what somebody peoples and now they actually victory Detroit pretty well and without the racing that that much.
Gonna happen just as some of the times and in their you know trying to do -- dog racing it you know Lincoln which is not true in a twin river in Rhode Island as well and you know I realize that that's what these parks were you know based on how they were and what not -- were found it but it's been a huge part.

Brooke and LJ -- for Dennis and meg -- here on this Labor Day Monday a couple of eloquent stories to share with the year. This morning in this -- store that you know came out yesterday and I thought we'd be remiss we didn't mention it today San Diego charger linebacker Shawne Merriman arrested. Yesterday as he and accused of choking and restraining his girlfriend who by the way -- did not know this is the reality television star Tila Tequila. As she tried to leave home. She's twice -- tequila is 27 years old she Saudi citizens all the rest warrant charging Merriman with the battery and false imprisonment. This is according to the San Diego county sheriff's office both of those. Are felonies all the those charges are felonies deputies responded to. -- house call there at 3:45. AM Sunday morning in polling which is just north of San Diego. After a woman called to say she was choked by merriment and then thrown to the ground when she tried to leave. Merriman lawyer disputed her version of the events instead it was covered the Merriman would not to be charged. But the district attorney's office and the only question I have is is giving that was anything to do was really rage.
Actually good Jay Glazer interview overnight in he had -- he -- to Merriman. Directly -- he said Mary meant said the young lady and it too much to drink he did not want her. Getting in a tiring driving someplace again an accident or killing somebody and -- absolutely the drinking have been done it is Powell's legacy of piety and as you know. -- if that happens and you're responsible for it so. He must to try to grab the only beekeeper from leaving. He claimed he would put his hand around her neck I don't know my question any of these athletes tortured when he normal people. How many people to run into you run into these problems -- one -- to get the other side of the story if indeed that is the truth. There's always another side of the story. It's just that you know. You put yourself this is -- of the -- to me of an athlete put himself in position. Where he's not going to win. I just don't understand you know you're a target I certainly think what the commission added -- of it before player from from -- get suspended for the whole season. I do think government whether that was too much or not we can away it was a hell of a punch it was a product I went down like -- like like let's act like they've -- I don't think it's -- credit for the whole season but I do think he should be suspended. But the point is I do think sports at -- is that taken a stand and saying he now you guys get paid a lot of money you're wearing -- and you represented us. He kissed my papers during the morning.
