Julio Jones lost an earring. Look around and see if you see it.
As a manly man, it kind of pains me to post this.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...aign=editorial Julio Jones Hires Dive Team to Locate $150K Earring Lost in Lake Lanier Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not hurting for money, but the two-time All-Pro pulled out all the stops to locate a $150,000 earring he lost while riding a jet ski. Per Brendan Keefe and Christopher Buchanan of WXIA 11 Alive, Jones hired a dive team to scour Lake Lanier for the valuable piece of jewelry after it fell into the water when he hit a boat wake. Unfortunately for Jones, it doesn't sound like the chances of his earring being found are very good. "It's down in crevasses and nooks and crannies," salvage diver Richard Pickering told WXIA. "It's impossible—absolutely impossible." Bobby Griffin, a member of the dive team, described the bottom of the lake as "pitch dark." There were also trees below the surface that made their quest even more difficult. Even though Jones will probably be out the cost of the earring, he's going to earn $11.5 million in base salary this season, per Spotrac. |

Time to plug if you are someone like BigWillie that buys 25K diamonds for their partner you need to get a writer on your insurance policy.

I'm still curious if it's just half of a pair of $300,000 earrings, or if it was just one earring that he wore like a pirate. If it's a pirate earring, it makes more sense that you'd wear it out on the water.
And if it's part of a pair, is the other one ruined now? Does he have to stick it in a drawer and never wear it again? |

Fans of a team with no genuine #1 receiver bagging on the #1 receiver in the NFL for something as petty as an earring.

Who wears a $150k earring while riding a jet ski? Just buy a fake...nobody is going to question if its real or not.

Jewelry is a really weird phenomenon. Jewelry is nothing but decorative rocks. It has no intrinsic value other than maybe as a drill bit, but society places a huge value on it. It's probably the biggest scam perpetrated on the public in the past 4,000 years.

I would love to know how much the dive team charged Jones? |

Did he check to see if he left it with his make up, or maybe he dropped it in his shoe closet near his high heeled pumps?

It's kind of ironic, I suppose, but why would a black American give any more of a shit than a white or Asian American? Do you really feel connected in any way to some random douche in Germany right now?
