Nike Honors Barry Sanders With Limited Release Dropping for the Lions' Thanksgiving game.

A Thanksgiving tradition will continue tomorrow as the Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears for the first of three holiday games. Rather than let the occasion slip by without a special release, Nike is paying homage to legendary running back Barry Sanders.
Using the Air Zoom Turf Jet 97—a follow-up to 1996's Zoom Turf, also made famous by Sanders—as its base, this commemorative model takes on a Lions-themed colorway with several details referencing his unparalleled career. Perhaps the most significant is the total number of pairs produced, 2,053, which was Sanders' career-high rushing yard record during the 1997 season. Further details include official Lions branding and Sanders' number 20 on the left shoe strap.

With Sanders filling in as the Lions' honorary team captain for tomorrow's game, he's expected to wear the pair on field. 
250 pairs of the Air Zoom Turf Jet 97 "Barry Sanders" will be released today via the Lions team store with the remaining pairs hitting nike.com at 12:30 p.m. ET.

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l...

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month a...
