Sean, Ricky, and Pageants

It’s the Monday after a long holiday weekend… at least for most.

Woke up this morning to hear about the shooting of Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins player and UM alum. Right now he’s being treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital… we’ll have live team coverage of this story coming up tonight with Hank Tester, Amara Sohn and Andrea Brody.

Run Ricky Run. Will Ricky Williams be playing with the Miami Dolphins tonight against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Joe Rose will have a live report from Pitt… coming up.

Imagine being a beauty pageant contestant… and someone wanting you to lose so badly, that they taint all your clothes and makeup with pepper spray. Now imagine winning the pageant anyway. That’s what happened in Puerto Rico… Sharon Lawson will have the recap for you.

So far today is all about football… well more like about football players who have been or currently are in trouble! First Ricky Williams. He’s back after being suspended for smoking pot (several times) … and we’re working to find out what he thinks about it. Several Phin’s players say with the 0-9 season they’re having.. they’ll take anyone (even Osama Bin Laden!) if they can run as well as Ricky… and it looks like their wish is coming true. Ricky went to the doctor today (with a brand new haircut) and we were there. Now NBC 6’s Adam Kuperstein is at Dolphin’s camp waiting to see if shy Ricky has anything to say. Tune in at 7 to find out.

Also love him or hate him, innocent victim or the guy who got away with murder… everyone has an opinion about OJ Simpson. The former football star (does anyone remember he played anymore?) is back from Vegas… and is now at his home in Kendall. Yesterday a judge ruled he will have to stand trial in that memorabilia heist. So is he (and are we?) ready for another Simpson Trial? We’re outside his house, along with the rest of the world’s media, waiting to find out!

Join us for these stories and more tonight at 7PM on South Florida Nightly News.

Ricky’s Back And So Are Gas Prices

It’s tough being a South Florida sports fan these days. The Miami Dolphins seem to be going for a perfect record these days… but not the kind that brought glory to the 1972 team. Instead of the undefeated season, they’re hoping to have a completely defeated season. With zero wins thus far, the news that Ricky Williams is being allowed back into the NFL brings a glimmer to the eye of many Ricky fans. But the question is… will the ‘Fins take him back? Adam Kuperstein is live at Dolphins Camp with a look at that story.

After several dry days, the skies have opened up once again… and today we got several reports of water spouts.

We’re already going to be opening up our wallets for the holidays… and now we’re going to have it open it even wider to be able to fill up your gas tank. Prices at the pump are up… Ari Odzer takes a look at that.

And a Miami Beach resident has been voted Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine… find out who, tonight at 7.
