In case you guys haven’t heard, Serena Williams was hit with a record fine for her outburst earlier this year at the U.S. Open.
Serena Williams was fined a record amount for her infamous U.S. Open tirade three months ago and has been placed on an unprecedented two-year probationary period at Grand Slam events. She will have to pay an $82,500 fine and avoid a “major offense” at the next eight major events or the fine would increase to $175,000 and she would be barred from the following U.S. Open [Via Yahoo]
Turns out the fine might sound bad but come on. She’s a gazillionaire. I respect Serena a great deal as a player, even as a humanitarian but there’s just something I’m not too keen on her about.
Whatever it is, it brings me joy to see her looking kind of silly. And here are five videos of just that.
Yes, this headline is probably the most obvious result of this college football season as it winds down. But how did it come to this? How did the one that many proclaimed the savior of Notre Dame football get to the point of… well… probably fired.
Like anything else, it wasn’t one game, one play or one player. The reasons for replacing Coach Weis have piled up over the last few years, higher than the Tower of Babel.
Here’s a quick insight into the fall of Coach Weis after the jump. Continue Reading »
This prank was done before – sort of – on College Humor, but it’s still funny to see some guy get totally worked up over nothing. I especially like the choking gesture he makes toward Reggie Miller and how it comes back to bite him in the ass after he realizes he didn’t win shit.
Seriously, look at how nuts he goes and all the jumping around he does. What a schmuck. The last time I saw a person that excited was when Maury Povich told him that he wasn’t the father:
No, not the football team. This time it’s the basketball team that’s failing to meet anyone’s expectations.
The #15 Wolverines lost to Alabama over the weekend, putting their earl record at 3-2. In their last three games, they’ve lost to two unranked teams and went into overtime against unranked Creighton. Not exactly the stellar start college basketball writers and fans expected out of the Wolverines. This, in fact, is a team that many picked to win the Big Ten.
To their credit, though, the players know they have some work to do.
“It’s still early, but it did let us know that we’ve got a ways to go and that we probably wasn’t the Top-15 team in the country,” said Michigan forward DeShawn Sims, who had 16 points and six rebounds.
Indeed, it is still early. But after another brutal football season, topped off with another easy victory for the Buckeyes, I’m sure Michigan fans aren’t feeling too optimistic at the moment.

I think I picked up on this during week 2 of the NFL and completely forgot about it. It’s more than likely because I hadn’t seen Jerome Boger on television but I’m awfully surprised that there’s been no mention of this. I mean we all talk about Ed Hochuli’s guns and all that. But let’s face it. Jerome Boger is pretty jacked and the fact that he looks like one of the Giants best defenders of all time is pretty badass.
So just who is Jerome Boger? He’s the guy who was accused of high fiving Vince Young the other week. Also…
Boger played quarterback at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia and was a four year starter. Realizing that he did not have the football skills to make it on a professional level, he decided to get into officiating, allowing him to stay close to the game. He started working high school and recreational league games before moving up to small colleges. He spent 11 years in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and five seasons in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference from 1996 to 2000.
So a warm congratulations to Jerome Boger who if he didn’t look like Harry Carson would have never made it up on this site. Way to go buddy.
That is, if you believe what Peter King has to say:
NBC’s Peter King reported during Football Night in America that he has spoken to 17 coaches and personnel executives over the past month, and that he has asked for predictions as to the precise spot at which Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be drafted.
The average draft position? 33rd overall.
But King added that two coaches of “winning teams” said Tebow won’t get past their selections in round one.
One of the biggest talking issues this upcoming draft will be how effective Tim Tebow will be as an NFL quarterback. The idea of him playing fullback or linebacker is absurd, and there’s no way Tebow will be anything but a QB. I personally think that his floor is pretty high – he’s got a very strong arm, he’s accurate, he’s mobile, he has the size, and he is capable of working hard to learn complex offenses. Only his release needs work, but there have been plenty of successful QBs in the NFL who have had bigger problems with throwing mechanics than Tebow.
As for where Tebow ends up? As the article pointed out, Jacksonville and Minnesota make the most sense. I’d love to see Tebow reunited with Harvin in Minnesota. I also wouldn’t be surprised if New England takes a chance on Tebow and tries to use him in short-yardage or gimmick play situations.
The worst you get from Tim Tebow is a guy who is going to work his ass off and provide leadership. I don’t know that he’s worth taking in the first round, but he definitely shouldn’t slip past the second.
From the TTABlog:
Major League Baseball has opposed two applications filed by Mattingly Hitting Products, Inc. to register the logo shown below left for “baseball and softball equipment, namely, bats, gloves, mitts, bat cases, bat bags, and batting gloves” and “clothing, namely, shirts, pants, athletic uniforms, caps and hats.” MLB claims a likelihood of confusion with its “Silhouetted Batter Logo,” registered for the same goods. Major League Baseball Properties, Inc. v. Mattingly Hitting Products, Inc., Opposition No. 91177266.
The logo in question probably shouldn’t confuse anyone as to whether or not it’s the MLB logo, but then again, people are frighteningly stupid. Here’s Mattingly’s logo:
Of course they’re similar – they both feature a left-handed hitter – but nobody should be confused here. It’ll be interesting to see how the court rules. But let me be the first to point out that all this could have been avoided if Mattingly insisted on a logo that featured a mustache. Why the hell wouldn’t he just slap a mustache on the hitter? It would without a doubt avoid any confusion, plus it would make a damn cool logo. Like mustaches don’t rule? It’s so damn obvious and easy. No wonder Don Mattingly isn’t Hall of Fame material.
