The New Orleans Saints traded All-Pro tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks this week angering many of their fans.
One 7-year old girl was especially heartbroken. When her mom tells her the news on camera she pledges to remain team Graham no matter what.
"Wherever Jimmy Graham goes is where I go. No matter what team," she says, before criticizing the Saints organization. "It's just not smart of them to let Jimmy Graham over there. He's a really good player and I like him and I want him to stay on the Saints," she explains while crying.
CNN reports that Graham saw the video and said he's going to provide his young fan with tickets to the Seahawks first game this year.
Cool gesture by Jimmy. As far as the little girl is concerned, I think she'd make a good NFL general manager one day.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle-Harris were once friends, but these days, not so much. After Tiny's husband, T.I., got into a scrap with the boxing champion in 2014 over her, she's now standing firmly behind her man.
TMZ Sports caught up with the former Xscape singer at Los Angeles International Airport to ask her about Mayweather's May 2nd fight with Manny Pacquiao.
Lil Wayne's DJ is in love with the "CoCo," just not the right version. During a concert at Nova Southeastern University in Florida on Thursday, March 12, the two weren't on the same page.
Wayne remixedO.T. Genasis'hit record"CoCo"for hisSorry for the Wait 2mixtape. When it was time to perform it last night the DJ put on the wrong version causing Wayne to get heated.
Wayne stopped his performance, threw his mic toward the DJ booth, then stormed off stage ending the show.
Fans were left wondering what the hell had just happened. No word on if they got refunds.
**UPDATE** March 14
Young Money President Mack Maine has saved DJ4our 5ive's job. TMZ reports that Wayne was angry because 4our 5ive had been screwing up all night. The last straw was when he put on the wrong version of "CoCo."
Wayne's remixed version is a Birdman/Cash Money diss. It was supposed to close the show, but the DJ apparently didn't get the memo.
All's well that ends well though. After Mack and Weezy talked the rapper agreed to continue working with 4our 5ive.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.is preparing for the biggest boxing match of his life againstManny Pacquiao, but out of the ring he's being accused of physically assaulting his adopted son.
A report of the incident that allegedly happened on October 31, 2014, has just surfaced. According to The New York Daily News, Floyd put 19-year old Devion Cromwell in a rear naked choke hold.
Cromwell is the son of Floyd's ex-girlfriend Melissa Brim. The world champion pugilist has raised the 19-year old as his own since he was in a relationship with Brim years ago. Mayweather broke things off with her in 2000.
Brim, her and Floyd's 14-year-old daughter Iyanna and Cromwell live in a home owned by Mayweather. On Halloween of last year Money May visited and told Cromwell's friends to leave, prompting the 19-year old to yell, "You're not my father!"
That led to a confrontation between the two where Mayweather allegedly put the teen in a hold described as “one arm encircled around the neck causing carotid and venous decompression and the other arm on the back of the head applying downward pressure.”
Cromwell's relatives want him to file criminal charges, but he's hesitant because Floyd takes care of him and his family financially. He did speak to the Las Vegas police about the incident. There were reportedly two witnesses that corroborated his story. He has up until October 31, 2015 to file an official complaint.
“We are desperate for Devion to do what’s right and bring Floyd to justice,” one relative told The Sun. “He controls our whole family through fear and money. It’s only a matter of time before it happens again — or, God forbid, anything worse.”
There are obviously two sides to every story. Floyd has not spoken publicly about the alleged incident.

Akron, Ohio police are searching for a serial offender. No, he hasn't actually harmed anyone, but he's left a stinking mess all over the city.
The Akron News reports that an unidentified man has been shitting in and on cars for the last three years. Cops may be closing in on him though after his face was caught in the act as he took a dump on a vehicle.
"I know quite a few people who have had their children's toys and their cars defecated on," Tricia Norasaeng, who runs the Castle Homes Facebook page, "Yeah, it's a problem, it's been going on for a while now, so I'm glad someone finally got a picture of it. I don't think a lot of people knew it was happening to other people. When you come outside when you have poop on your slide, or poop on your car, I don't think a lot of people thought to call police."
Akron policeLt. Rick Edwardssays the poop offender began his reign of smelly terror in the Castle Homes area starting in 2012. He's determined to put a stop to it.
"The reason that we want to put it out there and identify who this person is," Lt. Edwards says, "is either (to) charge them in these incidents, or find out if they do have mental health issues and get them the proper treatment, so this behavior doesn't continue."
If caught the man will be charged with criminal mischief and other crimes.

FERGUSON, Mo. (Associated Press) — Two law enforcement officers were shot around midnight at a Ferguson, Missouri, protest outside of the city police department, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said.
Belmar said a 32-year-old officer from suburban Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder. Both were taken to a local hospital, where Belmar said they were conscious. He said he did not have further details about their conditions but described their injuries as "very serious."
Belmar said he did not know who shot the officers.
The shots were fired as protesters had gathered following the resignation of Ferguson's embattled Police Chief Thomas Jackson on Wednesday.
Jackson was the sixth employee to resign or be fired after a Justice Department report cleared a white former Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson, of civil rights charges in the shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson last summer. Wilson has since resigned. A separate Justice Department report found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.
Mayor James Knowles III announced Wednesday that the city had reached a mutual separation agreement with Jackson that will pay Jackson one year of his nearly $96,000 annual salary and health coverage. Jackson's resignation becomes effective March 19, at which point Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff will become acting chief while the city searches for a replacement.
Jackson had previously resisted calls by protesters and some of Missouri's top elected leaders to step down over his handling of Brown's shooting and the weeks of sometimes-violent protests that followed. He was widely criticized from the outset, both for an aggressive police response to protesters and for his agency's erratic and infrequent releases of key information.
He took nearly a week to publicly identify Wilson as the shooter and then further heightened tension in the community by releasing Wilson's name at the same time as store security video that police said showed Brown stealing a box of cigars and shoving a clerk only a short time before his death.
During a 12-minute news conference, Knowles said Jackson resigned after "a lot of soul-searching" about how the community could heal from the racial unrest stemming from the fatal shooting last summer.
"The chief is the kind of honorable man you don't have to go to," Knowles said. "He comes to you when he knows that this is something we have to seriously discuss."
The acting head of the Justice Department's civil rights division released a statement saying the U.S. government remains committed to reaching a "court-enforceable agreement" to address Ferguson's "unconstitutional practices," regardless of who's in charge of the city.
A U.S. law enforcement official said Wednesday the Justice Department had not pressured or encouraged Jackson to resign during meetings with him but had also not resisted the idea. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing meetings between the Justice Department and the police department.
The resignation was welcomed by state lawmakers who represent Ferguson.
"There would be a lot of people that would approve of that," said Democratic state Rep. Sharon Pace, who represents the neighborhood where Brown was shot.
Jackson oversaw the Ferguson force for nearly five years before the shooting that stirred months of unrest across the St. Louis region and drew global attention to the predominantly black city of 21,000.
In addition to Jackson, Ferguson's court clerk was fired last week and two police officers resigned. The judge who oversaw the court system also resigned, and the City Council on Tuesday agreed to a separation agreement with the city manager.
