NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (WABC) — New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was taken into police custody Wednesday, a week after his friend’s body was found about a mile away from his home.

ESPN reports that Hernandez was taken away in handcuffs, and it is believed he will be charged with obstruction of justice.

Law enforcement officers were seen wearing wetsuits while searching near both Hernandez’ home and the industrial park where Odin Lloyd’s body was found.

Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits, was found slain June 17. His relatives said he was dating the sister of Hernandez’ fiancee, that the two men were friends and that both men were out together on the last night of Lloyd’s life.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The word in New England on Tuesday was “Tebow.”

The next day it was all about “spirituality.”

Coincidence? Not at all.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Wednesday that Tim Tebow’s faith-based makeup was a factor in deciding to bring the quarterback into the fold.

“He’s a winner, and the fact that spirituality is so important to him is very appealing to me,” Kraft said, according to CBS Boston.

The report included two more quotes with the word “spirituality.” Kraft was speaking from a charity event in honor of his late wife, Myra:

– “For me personally, having Tim Tebow on this team, he’s someone who believes in spirituality, he’s very competitive, works hard and has a great attitude.”

– “You can’t have enough good people around you, and (Tebow) has the added dimension of spirituality being so important to him, and that personally appeals to me a lot.”

MOSCOW, Russia – A 48-year-old Russian extreme-sport ace flew off the face of Mount Everest, jumping from more than 23,600 feet above sea level – the highest base jump ever.

Valery Rozov’s BASE jump from more than 23,687 above sea level came 60 years to the date that Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay climbed Mount Everest. The May 5 jump came more than two years in the making. Rozov, a member of the Red Bull team, sponsored by the Santa Monica-based company, was accompanied by four sherpas and a camera crew.

After climbing the mountain for four days, Rozov arrived at the base camp for the jumping location. At around 2:30 p.m., Rozov jumped off with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees.

“Only when I got back home did I see how hard it was for me both physically and psychologically,” said Rozo in a news release. “When you look at the videos you realize that it took a lot longer than usual to get from falling to flying.”

The family of late Penn State coach Joe Paterno is suing the NCAA for its execution of discipline in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.

A spokesman for NBC Sports Network told USA TODAY Sports the suit will be announced tonight on Costas Tonight, broadcaster Bob Costas’ 11 p.m. show on NBC Sports Network, after the NHL Western Conference Game 7. The spokesman, Adam Freifeld, said the show was taped Tuesday, and the suit will be announced by Paterno family attorney Wick Sollers, former Pennsylvania Governor Dick Thornburgh and family spokesman Dan McGinn.

Donald Remy, the NCAA’s chief legal officer, said in a statement Wednesday, “Despite our request, the Paterno family has not shared any information about its planned legal action. Therefore we are unable to comment further about that at this time. We remain committed to working with Penn State toward the continued successful completion of our voluntary agreement with the University and to working with Senator George Mitchell in assisting that process.”

REDSKINS Owner: ‘We’ll Never Change The Name’

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – “We’ll never change the name. It’s simple. NEVER.”

That’s what Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today Sports Thursday, with the added caveat, “you can use caps.”

Snyder putting his foot down, so to speak, may be what it takes to bring some finality to a debate that’s raged on all offseason over the offensive nature of the team name ‘Redskins.’

This is an issue that’s been picked apart from every angle, put back together, then dissected again from what seems like the moment Washington was eliminated from the playoffs, and as Snyder said, “we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season.”

He’s remained silent on the polarizing issue up until now, as spokespersons from either side – sanctioned and unsanctioned – have exchanged blows over a name that’s been a staple in the nation’s capital since 1937.

From Dallas, Texas, Thatcher Attends
and Runs Track at University of Richmond

Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who died April 8 at 87, was laid to rest today at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London with 2,300 people (and 4,000 policemen) in attendance.

Yet the inadvertent star of the ceremony was Thatcher’s 19-year-old granddaughter, Amanda, who delivered a flawless reading from the book of Ephesians. The daughter of Thatcher’s son, Mark, was one of only two readers at the funeral along with Prime Minister David Cameron.

Her composed reading — with a slight Texan twang — prompted a frenzy of activity on Twitter, with “Amanda Thatcher” trending worldwide for a period following the ceremony. Yet fans of the Atlantic 10 track circuit might have thought the girl in the black coat and wide-brimmed hat looked familiar.

Thatcher, a freshman member of the track team at the University of Richmond, is an accomplished runner. Her bio on the school’s athletics website states that she won a district title in the 300-meter hurdles as a senior at Highland Park High School in Dallas to qualify for the Texas Region II finals also recording a personal best of 35 feet, four inches in the triple jump. When she graduated from high school, she was voted most likely to change the world by her peers.

And she’s not the only athlete in the family.

Report: Obama Spent Twice as Much Time on Vacation/Golf as Economy

Are you ready for a real shocker?

According to a new report by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI), President Barack Obama has spent over twice as many hours on vacation and golf (976 hours) as he has in economic meetings of any kind (474.4 hours).

The report, “Presidential Calendar: A Time-Based Analysis,” used the official White House calendar, Politico’s comprehensive presidential calendar, and media reports through March 31, 2013 to calculate its results.

GAI’s findings may actually understate Obama’s recreational hours.
