THE BIG ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:

 Chicago native NBA superstar Dwyane Wade is making news for his latest outfit for Esquire magazine. In his recent photo shoot, Wade is wearing a black jumpsuit with gold chain over his bare chest and a blue blazer draped over his shoulders like a cape. 
Wade responded to some of the backlash on Thursday, posting an Instagram photo of himself in a suit side-by-side the controversial outfit. Wade decided to tackle the blurred delineation between style and fashion, sharing his point of view on the topic:
STYLE vs FASHION: The Age Old Question: I was 
honored to be selected with other very Stylish and
 Fashionable Men by @esquire to find the answer. Today,
 with more people having access to the elusive world of 
fashion through social media and the Internet, the two
 seem to have intertwined. To me: STYLE is timeless
, understandable, comfortable, effortless, defines a person 
and is everyday. Look: Tuxedo by Burberry, Shirt by
London, Tie @TheTieBar FASHION is trendy, edgy, fun a 
way for designers to create moving art and to not just 
make a statement but Scream it. Look:
 Jumpsuit/Jacket/Chain @Versace, Shoes
 by @deltoroshoes Anyone can buy FASHION right off the 
Runway but STYLE comes from within. So whether you
 gravitate more towards FASHION or STYLE/ STYLE or 
FASHION it is still an expression of self.--end quote
Our thing is, it shouldnt be any surprise of what he 
wears these days. Most of his stylings have been a bit 
outlandish, but we think he is filling a void in the 
sports world of an athlete who bends fashion. It hasnt
been one since Dennis Rodman that a male athlete has 
caused stirs with their fashion choices (The female
counterpart is Serena Williams). Is it a bit out there?
 Yes. But that is fashion.It is suppose to create conversation and surprise.


Chicago native comedic actor Craig Robinson's new comedy series Mr Robinson is a summer hit since its debut earlier this month,  Mr. Robinson drew the best summer comedy debut viewership since 2007 with 4.6 million tuning in. In fact, the Craig Robinson-led high school music teacher show is the second-highest-rated summer comedy debut on any of the Big 4 in six years. A second episode of Mr. Robinson at 9:30 PM saw a 17% drop from its lead-in in the demo and an 18% fall in viewers to 3.79 million. NBC’s burn-off plan for the six-episode series is to play two episodes a week for three weeks with fellow freshman The Carmichael Show to take over the slot on August 26. 


Mizzou alum Michael Sam is making more news beside being the  first openly-gay player to compete in a professional football area, being signed to the Canadian Football League--there have been rumblings that his teammates are hating on him for his celeb status,
Moreover, his  omission from the Montreal Alouettes' lineup against the Edmonton Eskimos last Thursday caused whispers. Sam reportedly limped off the practice field last Monday and was placed on the one-game injured list with a back injury Tuesday.  All considered, the rumors have been floating around that the talk about Sam's high salary and players' dissatisfaction with his "preferential treatment," some are debating just how much value Sam is bringing to the team. Consider what Herb Zurkowsky of The Montreal Gazette had to say about Sam this week:
Sam, the first openly-gay player in professional football, was playing his first competitive game in about a year. Not surprisingly, he was a total non-factor in the Als’ 26-23 loss.

Sam played sparingly, lining up on the boundary side of the line. Twelve snaps in his debut. He got on the field for the first time during the Redblacks’ second offensive series. He failed to register a tackle and was badly fooled on a play-action pass in the third quarter, Henry Burris faking the handoff, instead throwing 11 yards to fullback Patrick Lavoie for a touchdown.

After all the anticipation, it turned out being much ado about nothing. ...

Some of the Als’ problems specifically concern Sam. When he was allowed to return, and once the regular-season began, Sam immediately went on the team’s 46-man roster. So, while he hasn’t dressed for games, Sam has collected his game cheque on a weekly basis – still having failed to prove anything.
OUCH! Well it is not his fault that he got injured and that he his getting PAID. They signed him--he didnt sign himself--OKAY! 

UPDATE: This past weekend Sam announced that he was walking away from football for the time being claiming that the trail of all the media hype over him has taken a toll on his mental status. 







As the St Louis Rams began its training camp at Rams Park in Earth City, Mo and preps for its foirst preseaon game againstteh Oakland raiders  at The Oakland Collesium this Friday, the talk about their 
future on the West Coast continues.

 According to report from stltoday.com, it appears Rams owner Stan Kroenke and the National Football League have reached a resolution on the cross-ownership issue.
NFL rules prohibit club owners from owning NBA, NHL, or major league baseball teams in other markets that have NFL teams. Besides the Rams, Kroenke also owns the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, which violates the cross-ownership rules.
But Kroenke reportedly s submitted a plan that league commissioner Roger Goodell indicated should meet league approval, the details of which were not known.
“The finance committee has been considering this for some period of time,” Goodell said earlier in the week. “They gave Stan until June 15 of this year to submit a plan. He’s done so. There was a great report from Bob McNair, the chairman of the finance committee (Tuesday).”
“We believe that the plan that he’s submitted will be in compliance with ownership policies,” Goodell said. “It’ll be taken to the finance committee (for approval), probably in September.”

A rolling Empire singing competition did not be make its planned stop in St. Louis on Tuesday, with Fox citing the recent unrest in nearby Ferguson. The show made a last-minute announcement on Monday night that its "Next Empire Artist" bus tour will instead take place in Kansas City, beginning Wednesday.The Empire bus was scheduled to stop at Ballpark Village, across the street from Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis.
According to Fox, the bus is outfitted with a recording studio where fans can record their own versions of Empire songs. The 15-date tour also gives singers a chance to enter a contest to win a cameo on the hit show. It’s unclear whether Fox plans to swing back through St. Louis at some point. After Kansas City, the Empire tour will carry on to Dallas, New Orleans and Nashville. Representatives did not return requests for comment.

THE BIG ILLI MO STORIES THIS WEEK ARE:



Two STL based rap artists Nelly and  Love and Hip Hop ATL star Tiffany Foxx joined St. Louis 
rap artist JR in a video shoot this week in their hometown for the remix of his song, "I'm Just Sayin'"  where
hundreds appeared to be part of the music video.

The shoot paid homage to Nelly’s music video for his 2000 debut hit single “Country Grammar”.

From reports a flyer had gone around a small street in north St. Louis about a rap video shoot scheduled for  this 
past Tuesday. 

The flyer turned up on residents’ doorsteps Sunday, just three days before the scheduled shoot. 
The flyer called for people to come to the corner of Arlington and Theodosia for a noon start time.
The crowd and the neighborhood, according to producers, were used to re-create the scene from Nelly’s groundbreaking “Country Grammar” video from 2000. 
Producers applied for a permit Monday, according to a spokesperson for the mayor’s office. 

As of press time there were no reports of when the video 
will be released.



St. Louis native comedian/actor Gary G Thang Johnson made a cameo on the series finale of the BET dramedy "The Game" (PICTURED with returning actors Tia Mowery and Pooch Hall reviving their characters Melanie and Derwin) that was aired this week on the network. On it, he played  Gary, the valet and driver for The Sabers.




GLooks like the city of St Louis will be getting their new stadium without their vote whether to use city taxes to pay for it.
From reports, Circuit Court Judge Thomas Frawley invalidated a city ordinance that required a public vote on the use of any tax dollars for a potential new stadium in St. Louis. 
This means that any plan to build a new venue wouldn’t have to go through the process of voters actually determining whether they want to spend their tax dollars on a NFL stadium.

These are two big hurdles for opponents of Rams Owner Stan Kroenke’s plan to build a new stadium in Inglewood, California where Kroenke purchased a plot of land on the outskirts of Los Angeles with the intention of relocating the team to the city it left high and dry 20 years ago. Plus, the Inglewood City Council approved construction of the stadium—construction that’s slated to start late this year.

With rival plans to field a NFL team in Los Angeles in time for the 2016 season taking on some of the league’s attention, this court ruling could have a major impact moving forward. The NFL has gone on record indicating that it would support a relocation if a team engages in a “good faith effort” to remain in its current city before relocating. While that statement can be left up for interpretation, this ruling makes it more difficult for Kroenke to move the Rams without further negotiations in St. Louis.

Now that a vote to secure public funding for a venue in St. Louis isn’t required, the league may very well decide that the Rams should stay in their current market. This is only magnified by the fact that Governor Nixon has a clear financing plan set forth on a $980 million venue in St. Louis.

So we predict that the Rams will be here likely one more season and then move to L.A. in 2017.
