Popo in my crib News:
NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell said the league is willing to give former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh legal imdemnification ("guarantee against any loss) for any information he provides. Walsh worked for the Patriots following their first Super Bowl win but now works as a golf pro in Maui. Watch out Matty, because the popo are on your tail!
The Japanese popo arrested trainer Tokitsukaze aka Junichi Ymamoto and along with three wrestlers in connection with the death of 17 year old wrestler Tokitaizan aka Takashi Saito. Saito was allegedly hit in the face with a beer bottle when he tried to leave the facility in June 2007, a day before his death. An autopsy releaved injuries not consistant with that from a sumo match. Watch out, crazy trainers/wrestlers, because the popo are on your tail.
