About a week and a half ago, Wes Welker's wife, Anna Burns Welker, made some ill-advised comments about Ray Lewis after his Baltimore Ravens defeated her husband's New England Patriots team to advance to this week's Super Bowl.
"Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis' Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model," she wrote on her Facebook wall the night of the loss.
She has since apologized and Ray showed he had moved past it when he spoke publicly about it for the first time yesterday.
"I've always been a firm believer of the Good Book, and the Good Book always confirms, even a fool is counted wise until he opens he or she mouth," Ray said. "And sometimes people just say silly stuff. And they say it out of emotion. And sometimes you need to let the game take care of the game. We lost up there last year, and I didn't hear one teammate say anything about nobody there because we have respect for that team, that they won it fair and square. So for her to come out and say what she said, listen, I truly forgive her, and I have no hard feelings against her at all, but I believe people just make mistakes and say foolish things sometimes."
As we have all heard by now, Rick Ross was the intended target of a drive-by shooting yesterday in Fort Lauderdale. The rapper escaped injury, but his Rolls Royce was damaged when he ran it into a building.

Mark has now set his sites on Chris Brown's new clothing line called Black Pyramid.
"The black pyramid label is basically an unknown art. We really haven’t mastered the art of making a pyramid ourselves, like the ancient ones, so it’s kinda like an unknown art. So I think my painting, my designs, whatever I do fashion wise is unknown to a lot of people," Chris said when talking about his decision to name the clothing line Black Pyramid.
In the clip below, Mark describes Chris' on/off again girlfriend Rihanna as being "one of the most notorious and outrageous satanic singing skanks in the music industry." Mark seems to think Chris' clothing line is an attempt to impress Riri by showing her that he is also down with the Illuminati.
Is this a bunch of nonsense? Is the Illuminati even real? Let us know what you think after watching Mark's video.
Cristion D'or drops off a freestyle he recently did for Power 105.1 over the G.O.O.D. Music "Clique" instrumental. The track can be found on Cristion's latest mixtape, I Don't Usually Do This.
New details have emerged from the Chris Brown/Frank Ocean fight that took place in the parking lot of the Westlake Recording Studios in L.A. on Sunday
Witnesses are now saying Chris did throw the first punch after Frank disrespected him in front of his boys by not shaking his hand. Chis has denied being the aggressor. TMZ reports that the fight quickly escalated and moved from the parking lot to the studio lobby.
"They managed to break almost everything in the room and scare all of the staff members working" says the witness.
The melee did start over a parking space at the studio as previously reported. The best parking spots usually go to the biggest artist recording at the time and Chris felt disrespected when Frank had already taken the prime spot when he arrived.
Chris already has his legal team on the situation. Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, has already contacted detectives and said Breezy is ready to give them a blow-by-blow account of what happened. The singer swears he did nothing wrong and is counting on surveillance video to prove his case.
TMZ says the surveillance tape also clears Frank because it doesn't show him throwing a punch either. There were no cameras in the parking lot, so the only footage caught was the fight in the lobby of the studio between the two singer's camps.
While adjusting to being a part of the industry machine as a Bad Boy artist in 2012, Machine Gun Kelly admits he lost a bit of what made him a star.
