Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is David Scott, bringing you today’s news update.
Police released surveillance video of the scene revealing a middle-aged white male walking away from the SUV containing gasoline containers, propane tanks, and firecrackers, and looking back at it before disappearing into an alley.
Another part of the country was not so lucky in averting casualties, as parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi were hit with over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. According to Fox News, at least 19 people have been confirmed dead, with thousands more displaced from their homes as wide scale evacuation procedures were implemented by authorities.
The biggest hit at the box office this weekend was the remake of the 1980’s horror flick, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” which garnered $32.2 million and took the No. 1 spot. “How to Train Your Dragon” continued its success, pulling in $10.8 million.
From number 1 in the box office to number 1 in the NBA, Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers was awarded with his second consecutive MVP award, receiving 116 of 123 first place votes. Thunder forward Kevin Durant finished second, and Lakers’ forward Kobe Bryant came in at third. James’ Cavaliers continue their quest for an NBA title tonight in Game 2 against the Boston Celtics.
Last week, Phillies’ first baseman Ryan Howard signed a 5-year, $125 million deal to become one of the highest paid players in the MLB. Less than a few days later, people were already beginning to speculate about the contract of a comparable National League first baseman whose contract expires at the end of the season: Albert Pujols. When comparing the two players, Howard supporters are quick to point to his advantage in home runs and RBI’s since 2005, but when you crunch the numbers, there is no comparison. Pujols holds the advantage in every single category besides the two power numbers, and is actually younger! Howard may put fans in the seats with his majestic home runs and insane power, but Pujols never gives away outs, does everything right, and wins games. So my advice to you, Cardinals front office, pay up and make Pujols, who could go down as the greatest baseball player of all-time, a Cardinal for life.
