The most shocking aspect of the scandal at the University of Miami isn’t the fact that players took money. It’s not that some of them were provided hookers. It’s not how widespread the alleged malfeasance was. It’s not even the realization that one of the most storied programs in NCAA history may be staring down the barrel of a possible death sentence.
No. The most shocking fact of all is that the reporter who broke the story for Yahoo! sports is named Charles Robinson, yet he looks like this:
No hello. No how are you. My mom just jumped right into the conversation. She called me yesterday, at the tail end of the Anthony Weiner press conference.
“What is wrong with these people?”
I started in with the usual, “absolute power corrupts absolutely, politicians never think they’ll get caught,” pabulum that always comes up when someone in power gets caught in an embarrassing scandal.
“No, not politicians. I know what’s wrong with them. I mean these people taking the dirty pictures. Who does that?” And this is how I ended up teaching my mom about sexting
It all started when Hamrick dialed the wrong number and got a teenage girl from Dutchess County, the Berlin Patch reports.
Police said the girl misrepresented her age. They started exchanging cell phone calls and texts — 2,445 times between late October and early December, the Patch reports. The girl sent Hamrick 41 photos and was nude in several of them, police said. Hamrick is also accused of sending his own nude photos.
Hamrick told the girl he was No. 25 on UConn’s basketball team. But, as the girl watched a UConn basketball game in November, she quickly realized that the UConn player wearing that jersey was not the man she was communicating with, the Patch reports.
Then, Hamrick said he wore No. 3. Both numbers he picked are worn by freshmen.
This guy looks nothing like Lamb. Did he really think he was going to get away with it? You look more like Cuttino Mobley.
Someone do me a favor and cue the real Jeremy Lamb shake.
UConn football player Greg McKee turned himself in to police Wednesday morning on child pornography charges and is being held on $75,000 bond.
McKee, 18, a freshman offensive lineman, was charged with one count each of obscenity, promoting a minor in an obscene performance and importing child pornography material.
Let’s all remember, this is King Ing’s favorite team. And I’m sure the coaches and the school are happy that he wore his school shirt for his mugshot.
George Steinbrenner’s favorite Japanese import overdid it on the Sake Sunday night.
“Former Major League Baseball pitcher Hideki Irabu, a one-time rising star from Japan, was arrested in Gardena for allegedly driving while intoxicated, police said Monday.”
The NFL tried to do a nice thing last night, letting a kid from the Make A Wish Foundation announce his favorite team’s first round draft pick.
Unfortunately, that young man’s favorite team is the Steelers. One of their players has been in the news recently. Maybe you’ve heard. The drunk idiots at Radio City sure had.
The Boston Globe is in the middle of a series of “whatever happened to..?” profiles. The latest subject is Bernie Carbo, whose pinch hit home run sent game 6 of the 1975 World Series into extra innings, setting the stage for Carlton Fisk’s dramatic game winner.
But, considering this quote, maybe we should all be a bit more impressed with what Carbo was able to accomplish: Continue Reading
It’s easier to just let the YouTube videographer tell the story.
“The two girls in front of us were drunk before the game started. They grabbed one of our signs and trashed it (real classy) because we’re Vikings fans, and then spent most of the first half mocking us instead of watching the game because the Lions were ahead.
They left their seats and we thought they were gone for good but somehow they managed to buy even more beer and get back to their seats. They were spilling beer on themselves, the seats, and some of the other fans. After they spilled quite a bit of beer on the guys in the row below them, they turned around and told them to SIT DOWN. One girl didn’t like that so she poured the rest of her beer on his head. Then I knew it was time to start the camera.”
What more can you ask for?!?! Yelling, fighting, punches thrown, arrests being made, and crying. I only wish they got the beer pouring incident on video.
My brother always called Renaldo Balkman “the Osprey.” I’m not sure if it ever caught on beyond that, but in my mind his nickname is “the Osprey,” which is some sort of bird.
Anyway, he got nabbed for drunk driving in Florida, because he is a professional athlete and that’s what professional athletes do.
