How to catch a man

Justin Broomhall took a Sunday fishing trip to Lake Cherokee with his father and his son. Little did he know they would make the catch of a lifetime. The Longview, Texas resident hooked a massive alligator snapping turtle on Father's Day, the biggest he's ever seen. "My dad was like 'Holy smokes, look at the size of that!'" Broomhall said. "My three-year-old son started panicking. He thought it was a dinosaur and kept saying, 'Let it go. Let it go. Put it back!'" Broomhall was using dough bait in hopes of reeling in a catfish, he said. However, "from [the turtle] being so old and going blind, he's using his smell to find bait," he said. "I guess he felt it, thinking it was some other dead fish and he ate it." The enormous creature weighed in around 200 lbs and was likely between 100 to 150 years old, estimated Broomhall, who works at Whitaker Plumbing in Carthage, Texas. "I do a lot of lifting.

Arizona police have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a 60-year-old food delivery driver—and they say the victim helped crack the case with a photo she took on her phone. Rusty French, 62, is charged with the second-degree murder of Pamela Martinez, 60, on June 11 in Glendale. According to cops, French admits being at the scene of the slaying but said he must have blacked out. Glendale police have not released any details on a possible motive but they noted that French and Martinez did not know each other and that Martinez had not delivered food to French that night. “A stranger ended up taking her life over nothing,” Martinez’s 27-year-old daughter, Monique Daniels, told The Daily Beast. She said her mother moved from Colorado to Arizona in 2004 and worked for two local colleges, doing Uber Eats runs in her free time to make extra money. The widowed mom of two was saving up for a baby shower for Daniels, who has a young son and is eight months pregnant, and to … [Read more...] about How This Grandma Helped Cops Catch Her Accused Killer

Once again, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is catching heat for comments he made on a podcast . Only this time, the comments were about someone all too familiar: teammate Steph Curry . On Monday night, the Warriors forward joined forces with JJ Redick, former NBA player and host of “The Old Man and The Three,” for a live podcast show in New York. In front of a sold out crowd, Green discussed everything from the Warriors’ recent championship run to the never-ending Kevin Durant-Warriors debate, which gave way to a clip about the 2016 team that has since received a lot of attention. “The reality is, I don’t think that team wins another championship if Kevin [Durant] doesn’t come,” Green said. “I personally don’t think at that point Steph Curry had figured out, ‘I’m going to get a bucket whenever I want to,’” he continued. “I don’t think he was capable of that yet.

(BPT) - Men are notorious for avoiding the doctor and ignoring warning signs when it comes to their health. New research confirms this isn’t just a myth with 2 in 5 men saying they've put off seeing a doctor until their symptoms were urgent and 1 in 3 men avoiding the doctor altogether out of fear of finding something wrong. Men also are more likely to smoke, drink and take more risks. Yet a surprising 84% of men rate their health as “excellent” or “good” in a Men’s Health Survey conducted by MDVIP and Ipsos, suggesting that they mistakenly believe they’re healthier than they really are. “Men are typically on the defensive, waiting for an emergency to happen before seeking medical care — when it’s sometimes too late,” said Dr. Andrea Klemes, chief medical officer at MDVIP. “What they need is to play better offense.” The key to improving men’s health What, or rather who, is the key to helping men be more proactive about their health?
