Tonight’s Top Topic: How does the golf tournament compare to Charlotte’s other big sports events?
They showed what they said was a picture of “Tiger” and it turned out to be a guy with a beer gut with a tiger mask. (A crew member maybe?) Morgan said “I have nothing nice to say so I’m not gonna say anything at all.” Then said something under her breath. Anyone know what it was?)
Charlotte has the CIAA tournament, Bobcats, Panthers and NASCAR races. (Don’t forget the ticket giveaway to the upcoming NASCAR races. To enter the contest go to FOX Charlotte’s web site.
Fred said he would trade a weekend of the golf tournament for playoff victories of the Bobcats or Panthers. Morgan said There is room enough for all of it. Brien Blakely asked people at the golf tournament what their favorite sport was. (What do you think the answer was???)
Morgan said she was more partial to the Charlotte Jumper Classic. (Who shovels the manure for that one Morgan?) Fred called it lame. Morgan went on to say it does not get enough credit. The Charlotte Jumper Classic has olympic riders, olympic hopefuls and a $450,000 purse. Fred then proceeded to ride his chair like a horse. (Probably the highlight of the show)
Brotha’ Fred’s brilliant idea #1: Combine NASCAR people & environement with the golf tournament. Let people part their rv’s on the infield of Quail Hollow for a week and drink jello shots. (Fred, most NASCAR fans drink beer or Jack Danials if they drink.) Morgan said that would be cool if we combine a football game, bobcats, NASCAR and the golf tournament on the same weekend. Fred wants the “Yeehah” NASCAR fans to watch Tiger play.
The golf tournament is formerly the Wachovia and still paid for by Wachovia. (So isn’t it paid for by Wells Fargo?)
Fred complained that nobody invites “us” to the VIP of the golf tournament with the prime rib and food. Mofo respnded she has been invited. Fred’s comeback was funny. Had to see it.
People magazine came out with its annual 100 most beautiful people issue. Christina Applegate won. Other people in the list was Christina Aguilera, Michele Obama, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Taylor Swift and the cast of the new 
90210. The Edge crew discussed that the cast of 90210 does not belong on the list. Fred said except for Jessica Stroup who is from the Carolinas. Fred then made a statement out to Jessica Stroup’s parents, that he would be a fine suitor for their daughter. Morgan disagreed with that statement!
They both agreed that Christina Applegate would not make the “Hot List” that people also comes out with. There is a difference between beautiful and hot.
Morgan said You want to date the hot girl, but don’t want to bring her home to mom. The beautiful girl you want to date and bring home to mom. (Sorry. Not going to write out Fred’s finger exercises.)
We next got to see pictures of Fred on his new Harley Davidson. He said he wears chaps while riding. With no pants. (He was just kidding.)
An 8 year old in Saudi Arabia went to court to get a divorce from her husband who is 47 years old. The father of the girl arranged the marriage to settle debts he had. The mother had previously tried to get the marriage annulled in court but was turned down twice. Originally the husband had a written agreement with the father that the marriage would not be consumated until the girl was 18. After the mother went to court for the annullment, the judge modified it to be until the girl reached puberty. The young girl was never told of the marriage (explain that one to me) and now lives with her Mother. Under Saudi law the girl is technically still married.
A drug smuggler spent three weeks over a bed pan. The smuggler had 76 tampon-sized packets of cocaine that he swallowed. The man Hatim Gulamhusein, was arrested at the airport entering the country. He refused to allow doctors to remove them by surgery which is why he had to be over a bed pan 24 hours/day for three weeks. If just one of the packets broke in his stomach he would have been killed instantly. As Morgan said “This guy is an idiot.”
Terry Nichols who along with Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people at an Oklahoma City Federal building in 1995, is now suing the jail because he has constipation. (I think constipation should be part of the sentance for what he did) Morgan said to Mr. Nichols “You could find some fellow cellmates who could help you out with any problem you are having back there.” It was discussed that being on the Newsedge is very thearapeutic for Morgan. (Maybe for all of us watching as well!)
