Redskins Khary Campbell Has a New Baby Boy

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:38:00 GMT

For Khary Campbell, yesterday was a great day. The Washington Redskins linebacker got himself two tackles and a win against the Dallas Cowboys, AND he became a father! His wife went into labor a few days earlier than planned and out came baby boy Shia, weighing 7 lbs., 14 oz.

Campbell's wife was supposed to be induced today, but Shia joked that he didn't want to wait and "wanted to be here for the game." When he heard she was in labor, he knew he couldn't make it to Virginia in time for the birth, so he stayed to play football. By the time he got to the locker room before the game, a text message from his mom told him, "Your son is here."

Campbell played the game, then drove straight to the hospital.

Congrats, Khary!

Hasselbeck Baby On View

HerBadMother — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:36:00 GMT

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, fresh off of maternity leave, brought her new son to sit in as a guest host on her first day back at The View today.

Two-month old Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck (undeniably adorable, I have to admit) joined mom and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd. "I thought I'd bring a little testosterone to the table today," said Hasselbeck. "He's huge," she gushed. "He's almost like 12 pounds, I think. He's just constantly on me. I call myself the Dairy Queen."

Nice. Like I needed to hear about the gushing mounds that are Elisabeth Hasselbeck's boobs. Isn't there some rule for Republicans that says that they're never allowed to talk about their body parts? There should be. Somebody get Ann Coulter on that one.

Break Out the Champagne! Elisabeth Hasselbeck Returns to The View

Apparently it's a very big deal that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is returning to The View on Monday after a two-month maternity leave. I'm not sure why since I've never watched the show, but I hear people are pretty excited about it; taking the day off of work to watch it, having 'Welcome Back Elisabeth' parties and inducing births so that they can say, "My baby was born on the day Elisabeth returned to The View!"

I'm totally making all of this up, of course. Who would induce birth for such a ridiculous event? It's not like when I did it, so that I could be back home in time to watch the American Idol finale.

Andy Garcia Honors Sean Taylor

Thousands gathered to mourn Sean Taylor at his funeral today and actor Andy Garcia was among them, calling the Washington Redskins star a hero. Taylor was engaged to Garcia's niece Jackie Garcia and was with her and their 18-month old daughter when he was shot during an apparent robbery in their Miami home. "His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage," Andy Garcia said in a statement to the Miami Herald. "His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind.”

"Sean was known to many as an extraordinary athlete and unquestionable teammate,' added Garcia, a father of four. "To those of us who had the good fortune to count him as a member of our extended family, we will always remember him as a caring and loving individual."

On the night of the incident Taylor reportedly told Jackie Garcia to hide in the bedroom with their daughter, also named Jackie, while he went to investigate. He was shot in the leg and died of his injuries the next day. Four young suspects have been charged in the killing.

Sean Taylor Remembered

Whit Honea — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:29:00 GMT

The funeral services for fallen NFL player Sean Taylor were held today in Florida. Thousands of mourners, including the members of the Washington Redskins and actor Andy Garcia, were present to pay their respects.

Rev. Jesse Jackson provided an eulogy in which he proclaimed that, "Our American house is on fire. We've become much too violent. We accept violence as the norm . . . It is uncivilized. It must be rejected."

Yesterday, the players of every NFL team wore Sean's number, 21, on their respective helmets to honor him. A moment of silence was also observed prior to each game.

Personally, I thought the most touching of the tributes was made by his teammates on the Redskin defense. Their first play from scrimmage had only ten men, leaving a void where one had fallen.

Sean Taylor was 24.
