CENTRIC - WHY NOT? (COMING AUG 2013)

Roethlisberger throws for 4 TDs, 400 yards, but Patriots beat Steelers 55-31

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Ben Roethlisberger threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns while leading the Pittsburgh Steelers offence to 31 points against the New England Patriots.

Plenty of scoring on most days.

Not against the Patriots on Sunday.

"They're a good offence. But we need to score more points," Roethlisberger said after New England broke a third-quarter tie and pulled away to beat the Steelers 55-31. "To me, it's about winning and losing. We lost. Offensively, we have to be better."

Roethlisberger turned the ball over on two of Pittsburgh's first three possessions, and the Steelers fell behind 14-0 early in the second quarter. It was 24-10 when Roethlisberger hit Jerricho Cotchery for a pair of touchdowns to tie it.

But Pittsburgh got one first down in its next two possessions, punting twice. And, after another touchdown catch by Cotchery, Roethlisberger threw his second interception of the game.

Meanwhile, Tom Brady led New England to four straight touchdowns and the Patriots (7-2) pulled away.
The 55 points were the most scored in an NFL game this season and the most ever scored against the Steelers (2-6).

"I don't care if it's the most points we have ever given up or not," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. "It ain't any more sickening or less sickening based on those results."

Brady threw for season highs of 432 yards and four touchdowns, and Rob Gronkowski had a career-high nine receptions for New England. Asked about Brady's performance, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu said, "It was a winning performance.

"He did everything great quarterbacks do," Polamalu said in a sombre Steelers locker room.

Brady had 252 yards passing in the first half, and 119 of those came on seven catches by Gronkowski. The star tight end, in his third game since missing the first six with back and forearm problems, caught his first touchdown of the season to give the Patriots a 14-0 lead with 4:30 gone in the second quarter.

New England piled up 610 yards, third most in team history and the most ever allowed by the Steelers.
"We are going to go through this with a fine-toothed comb," Tomlin said. "And those people who are lacking effort won't be playing. It's just that simple."

Until Sunday, Brady had been having a mediocre season. He threw for just 116 yards a week earlier in a 27-17 win over the Miami Dolphins, struggling to communicate with his rookie receivers and with Gronkowski recovering from a series of off-season operations. Brady also was uncharacteristically inaccurate on his throws.

But he was sharp all day, completing 23 of 33 passes against a defence that let receivers run free for several long receptions, including a 57-yarder to Danny Amendola that set up Stephen Gostkowski's 20-yard field goal that made it 17-3.

Brady threw scoring passes of 34 yards to Amendola, and 17 and 81 yards to Aaron Dobson, while Stevan Ridley rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns.

The Patriots led 24-10 at halftime before the Steelers tied it on their first two series of the third quarter on Roethlisberger's touchdown passes to Cotchery of 20 and 8 yards.

He added a 6-yarder to Cotchery midway through the fourth quarter that made it 41-31. But two plays after the kickoff, Brady launched a pass down the left sideline that Dobson caught at the Steelers 40 and carried into the end zone.

LeGarrette Blount got the final touchdown on a 5-yard run with 2:41 left.

Three Patriots had more than 100 yards receiving, Gronkowski with 143, Dobson with 130 and Amendola with 122.

New England scored on its last four possessions of the first half and led 24-10 at intermission before the Steelers tied it.

Roethlisberger turned the ball over twice on his first two series when he fumbled, then threw an interception to Devin McCourty that led to Brady's scoring pass to Amendola.

After Gronkowski's touchdown, Pittsburgh's Shaun Suisham and Gostkowski traded field goals before Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown for a 27-yard touchdown. It was the 200th touchdown pass of Roethlisberger's career, second in Steelers history to Terry Bradshaw with 212.

The Patriots got the ball back with 1:50 left in the half and went 77 yards on nine plays and a 1-yard scoring run by Ridley. On the previous play, Shamarko Thomas was called for interfering with Gronkowski in the end zone.

After Cotchery tied it at 24, the Patriots took the lead for good on Gostkowski's 32-yard field goal.

Usain Bolt: Torrid sex and 1,000 McNuggets

From his new memoir, “Faster Than Lightning” (Harper), out next week, four things you didn’t know about Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive:

In Beijing, he ate 1,000 McNuggets.

During the Beijing Olympics, Bolt, then 22, thought that Chinese food was “odd.” So he hit the nearest McDonald’s in search of his favorite food: chicken McNuggets.

“At first I ate a box of 20 for lunch, then another for dinner. The next day I had two boxes for breakfast, one for lunch and then another couple in the evening. I even grabbed some fries and an apple pie to go with it,” he writes.

He estimates that during the 10 days he spent in Beijing, he downed 100 nuggets every 24 hours. That equals 1,000 chunks of chicken. “Man, I should have gotten a gold medal for all that chowing down,” he writes.

His signature move wasn’t even his own idea.

“Bolting” is the runner’s go-to celebration, where he pulls his arm back like an archer and aims an imaginary bow at the heavens — but it wasn’t his idea.

He first struck this pose when he set the world record in the 100 meters during the Beijing 2008 games. And though it looked off-the-cuff, it was actually planned in advance with a dancer friend from Jamaica.
“I’d made a deal that if I won the 100, I would bust some crazy dance move. It was called ‘Di World,’ ” he writes.

Though the move has been criticized for being unsportsmanlike, it hasn’t stopped the speedster from busting the move every time he wins a race.

He had a “don’t ask don’t tell” policy with his first girlfriend.

Bolt was spoken for when he arrived in Beijing, already dating his first serious girlfriend, Jamaican runner Mizicann Evans, for five years.

But after becoming an overnight sensation, he found that the “ladies threw themselves” at him, he writes.
“I was able to get any lady I wanted . . . I could walk into a party and take my pick,” he writes. “I would go into a club and think, ‘Hmm, a’ight, which one? You . . . ? You . . . ? Oh, you! Let’s do this.’ ”
So, how did the couple last?

“We had one rule: If I was doing my thing with someone else and Mizzi didn’t know, then she was cool. But if she found out that something had happened between me and another girl, then that person had to go,” writes Bolt.

The couple has since split.

A baton nearly got him disqualified.

After three first-place finishes at the 2012 London Olympics — one for the 4×100 relay — he decided that gold medals were not enough.

He wanted the baton. But the race official looked at him like he was crazy.

“ ‘You can’t have that. We’ll need it,” the official told Bolt.

”Why? The Olympics is over!” Bolt fired back.

The two sparred over the baton in Bolt’s clutches until the official went “wild” and threatened him.

“You’re going to be disqualified if you don’t give me back the baton!” the official said.

Just as Bolt was about to hand over the prized rod, another official came over and insisted that Bolt keep it.

Pamela Anderson finishes marathon in under six hours

Pamela Anderson might best be remembered for “running” on the beach in “Baywatch”. But her most impressive run came Sunday, when she not only ran the New York City Marathon but finished in a tidy 5:41:03.

“So proud of my brother Gerry,” Anderson tweeted. “Thank G. For running next to me today- love you lots.’’

Then she tweeted “Thank You New York City!” and a picture of her medal for finishing.

The 46-year-old Anderson — sporting a pixie cut, backwards baseball cap and a glowing natural look — ran for charity, raising almost $76,000 according to her fundraising page. It went to the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, which helps the impoverished Caribbean island nation devastated by the 2010 earthquake.

London Marathon champion T segaye Kebede lost the race but won the prize, his 2:09.16 runner-up finish clinched the $500,000 bonus for the World Marathon Majors men’s title.

Adriana Nelson was the top American woman, finishing 13th in 2:35.05. Ryan Vail was the top American male, finishing in 12th in 2:13.23. Former champion and Olympic medalist Meb Keflezighi had been among the pre-race contenders, but ran through a calf injury and struggled in at 2:23.47, running along with — and a second behind — Staten Island’s Mike Cassidy.

Security was redoubled in the wake of April’s Boston Marathon bombing, with roughly four dozen bomb-sniffing dogs, extra undercover cops, barricades blocking off much of Central Park and spectators going through bag-check lines to get in. New York Road Runners CEO Mary Wittenberg acknowledged the major change to have everybody screened, but chalked it up as the new normal.

“I remember 9/11 as a very emotional year, but this was different with a lot of celebratory feel to it but a real sense of running for meaning for New York and Boston. I’m not the NYPD, but (we had) zero incidents, zero threats, really smooth, very noticeable increased presence,’’ Wittenberg said. “It never felt too much at all to me. What it felt is it’s our new reality.

“I shot this picture. We had this big Run For Life banner and it says “When you hit the wall, fly over it” and the bridge is in the background. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I don’t even notice that there’s either NYPD or the Army walking across the roof. That’s our new reality. It’s probably been a reality since 9/11, and I think it’s a very supportive one. I never felt anything, but that it was a really good presence.’’

American Tatyana McFadden completed an unprecedented marathon “Grand Slam.” The 24-year-old Maryland resident won the NYC Marathon women’s wheelchair race Sunday after taking the titles in Boston, London and Chicago in 2013. No other athlete has won those races in the same year.

Columbia Records' Isaac Green Promoted to SVP of A&R

Columbia Records has promoted Isaac Green from his previous position as vice president of A&R to senior vice president of of A&R. Green has been with the company since 2008.

Previous to joining Columbia, Green was the founder of the label StarTime International, which was home to The Walkmen and French Kicks, among others. StarTime has since become an imprint of Columbia Records and continues to be overseen by Green. As well, Green founded Almost Gold Recordings, another Columbia imprint.

“I'm extremely appreciative of [Columbia Records chairman] Rob Stringer and [Columbia Records president] Ashley Newton for their unwavering support and mentorship,” comments Green.  “Columbia is my home.  I live and breathe for my artists -- and, luckily, so does every member of our great staff.”

CMJ Accused of Hiding Funds, Avoiding Loan Repayment By John Scher's Metropolitan Entertainment

Metropolitan Entertainment, a New York-based concert promotions, management and label company headed up by John Scher, is suing CMJ, the company behind the New York music festival -- currently underway -- and magazine for loans and interest given to CMJ in 2009 and 2010 which CMJ has allegedly avoided repayment of. The news was first reported in the New York Times.

The suit, originally filed in May by John Scher and Metropolitan Talent, Inc., saw the date of its final court extension lapse last Tuesday, Oct 8. According to court papers, Scher and Metropolitan's negotiations with CMJ began in 2008, leading to an agreement between the companies for Metropolitan to acquire CMJ, which they had valued at $2.4 million. The court filing goes on to claim that Metropolitan lent CMJ funds 27 times, totaling $595,307 along with $178,827 in interest, adding up to $744,134 unpaid by CMJ according to the filing.

The papers allege that CMJ Network Inc., along with Robert and Joanne Haber, sold CMJ Network to a new corporation called CMJ Holdings, a deal which did not include the original loans. The new owners allegedly refused to ackowledge Metropolitan's claim to the money lent.

Speaking to Billboard.biz, Mr. Scher outlined a meeting he had roughly a month after being refused by Mr. Haber for a meeting with potential investors he had found. "My partner and I went and had a meeting with Keith and three other people. They looked us in the eye and they said 'We've taken over CMJ, and we'd like to work together.' We said "Well there's a little thing about $600,000 or $700,000 you owe us.' He said 'Well you're not gonna get it. You've got a claim against old CMJ.'"

"I thought 'I'm not a lawyer, but that can't be legal.'" From that point, Mr. Scher described to Billboard.biz a deteriorating back-and-forth with CMJ's new owners, leading Metropolitan and Mr. Scher to file their lawsuit this past May. "It's not something where you can just say 'Eh, we made a bad deal," said Mr. Scher.
Regarding the ongoing case, CMJ Holdings CEO Alexis D'Amecourt responded: "We believe the lawsuit is without merit, and to that end CMJ timely filed, and has pending before the court a motion to dismiss the action."
