Month: October 2024

Ah yes, the traditional banana hurled at a black player. Euro 2012 is officially on! The potassium missile came from the Croatian fans, who we had thought were pretty chill. It happened during yesterday's match with Italy, who have a couple of black players, including Mario Balotelli, who specifically threatened to kill any banana-throwers. Details aren't clear— UEFA is looking into it after a photographer snapped a shot of a steward removing the banana, although they haven't received any official complaints. It's been a busy week. We've already had • "Around 500" fans making monkey noises at the Dutch team during a training session. • Russia and Poland supporters fighting in the streets, then fighting the riot police sent to break them up.…

So he does what any man who is hongry for some Hooters does, he takes a camera in and narrates a trip to the restaurant. I'm sure this video will go a long way towards making Bengals fans feel better about the second round pick their team spent on the Auburn running back. If you've ever wondered what Michael Scott's trip to Hooters would look like if he played in the NFL and was obsessed with weed, check it out after the jump:

data-mm-id=”_vg7mbwwsg”>The Oregon Ducks soundly defeated the 5th-ranked team in the nation on Friday night in the Pac-12 Championship, beating Utah 37-15 and ruining the PAC-12's chance at the College Football Playoff for the third time this year. With the win, Oregon punched their ticket to the Rose Bowl and got their 11th win of the season. It's an OK result, but again, in an alternate timeline, it could have been their 12th win of the season and possibly punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff. The Ducks started their season by losing to the then 16th-ranked Auburn Tigers by six points. Auburn is currently ranked 11th, making Oregon's season-opener the definition of a quality loss. Oregon then spent a few weeks ranked in the middle-teens before steadily …

data-mm-id=”_yho68p142″>The 2019 season has brought NFL fans many unexpected developments. The Patriots are 10-1, but have been carried by their defense. Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate and has looked unstoppable over the last month and change. The Colts are in contention for the division with Jacoby Brissett under center, and the Bengals (not the Dolphins) are far and away the worst team in the league. The list goes on.Yet I contend the biggest surprise of this season goes not to Jackson's breakout or the Colts recovering from the most shocking retirement in recent NFL history, but rather to one Ryan Tannehill down in Nashville. The former Dolphins QB joined the Titans over the offseason to very little fanfare; most of the attention was focused on Marcus Mariota, the former No.…

data-mm-id=”_4kso3gxv7″>Is that Madison Bumgarner or Mason Saunders? Turns out, it's both. Sunday night a report in The Athletic unmasked a successful rodeo roper as actually being the three-time World Series champion and four-time All-Star pitcher. It turns out, Bumgarner has been moonlighting as a rodeo competitor for a while, possibly years. Last December, he won $26,650 in a team-roping competition with his partner, Jaxson Tucker. Posted by Rancho Rio on Wednesday, December 4, 2019Here's another shot of Bumgarner:Posted by Rancho Rio on Wednesday, December 4, 2019When approached about his alter ego, Bumgarner fessed up, but he was clearly uncomfortable with the questions. Here's a section of the piece:”Why the alias then? That was to protect his adventures from gar…

data-mm-id=”_w7e9dmcso”>On May 4, Trevor Plouffe, former MLB player and current member of Jomboy Media team, reported the following on his Twitter account: Want some good baseball news??

Embiid is home watching the rest of the NBA playoffs like the rest of us following the Philadelphia 76ers sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics.
