Stevie Johnson turns to Adele for comfort during free agency

It is always sad when a player leaves the team he was drafted by, and wide reciver Stevie Johnson is dealing with an uncertain future with the Buffalo Bills . The 25-year old free agent is turning to British singer Adele for guidance.

While cleaning out his locker after the Bills failed to make the playoffs, Johnson tweeted a picture saying: “iPod on Shuffle. Cleaning. Adele come on. I cant help but feel as if this is a sad story. #NotNowAdele but Could it Be?”

Johnson is the Bills leading receiver for the second consecutive season. He finished with 76 catches for 1,004 yards and 7 touchdowns. But the real question mark is why he has Adele on his iPod?

Cavs player misses game because of lost passport #FAIL

For Cleveland Cavaliers center Samardo Samuels, bad news doesnt travel fast, it doesn’t travel at all. Samuels was forced to stay home when the team traveled to Toronto to play the Raptors because he lost his passport. Just the day before, Samuels was benched in the Cavs win against the Charlotte Bobcats.

Cavalier’s coach Bryon Scott was critical of Samuels misplaced passport. “I’m going to chalk it up to youth and inexperience. Hopefully, he learned his lesson and it never happens again,” Scott said.

Samuels was not able to get a passport on short notice because he is from Jamacia, and team officals had trouble with visa issues. The 22-year old will rejoin the team Thursday in Minneapolis against the Timberwolves.

Magic Johnson using hip hop to fight homophobia and HIV

Magic Johnson is one of the greatest basketball players of all time and the most prevelant faces in the fight against HIV. Since his diagnosis in 1991, Johnson has dedicated his life to HIV awareness. Now, Johnson hopes to use hip hop to decrease homophobia within African American culture.

“As a hip-hop fan, you realize that homophobia is still an issue everywhere, but especially in the black community. When people are scared to talk about it, that’s how the disease spreads,” Magic told the Huffington Post.

“I have a lot of friends in [the hip hop] industry and so what we’re trying to do is rally them to get behind the cause, deliver the message to these young people that HIV and AIDS is big and it’s not going anywhere.”

Maybe Magic can call on fellow basketball player rapper Ron Artest or Metta World Peace.
