Fox News is no stranger to making up news for its own evil purposes. This time, though, Fox Sports got caught doing the same thing.
Pro Football Talk says the network showed three local newspaper headlines about Jay Cutler’s supposed lack of toughness during the Bears season opener a couple of weeks back.
One problem. Those headlines were completely made up.
Have you ever seen someone struggle as much with his new club as Fernando Torres has with Chelsea? Something happened to his goal scoring ability during the transfer. Case in point this miss against Manchester United over the weekend. There was no one around him or in goal. The debacle of a play even earned the honor of a video game recreation.
By all appearances, I am a nice guy. I hold the elevator for people running a second behind. I always let a lady enter a room before me. If I see the guy windex-ing the glass in my office’s revolving door, I make sure to grab the handle instead of just putting my hand on the glass.
But all of this door-related politeness masks a far darker personality, one that roots for the failure of others and revels in their sadness.
Here is a thing that happened.
Earlier this week, I was walking through Lower Manhattan on my way to work when I noticed a strange look on a woman’s face. She was on the phone. At first, I thought maybe she was laughing. But I quickly realized this wasn’t laughter at all. She was actually fighting back tears. IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY.
Why is she crying? Who is she talking to? Did someone die? Is she fighting with her boyfriend? So many questions. I made the obvious move. I muted my Ipod but kept my headphones in so it looked like I couldn’t hear anything, then tried to catch up with her so I could hear her conversation. Unfortunately, she managed to collect herself and didn’t actually bust out into full on tears. Once that happened, I lost interest pretty quick.
The only thing better than seeing someone cry in public is seeing someone get arrested.
What did he do? Is he resisting? Will the Cops brutalize him? Is he crying? What do the police do withthe perp’s car after they drive away?
All in good fun. She is just supporting her team with her male counterparts. The only thing keeping this semi-SFW is the strategic placement of the Dynamo Kiev scarf.
This looked nothing like my 21st birthday party. John Wall’s party at Greenhouse in NYC brought out all the stars. Swizz Beats, Diddy, Carmelo Anthony, Drake, DJ Khaled. Kemba Walker, Maino, Jim Jones, and Baron Davis were some of the celebrities that came out to celebrate.
It must have been hot in there as everyone from Melo to Kemba were in their wifebeaters by the end of the video.
