Day 741

  • Another day, two more UFC arrests...  Chad Sonnen has been suspended by ESPN for 11 battery counts against six people (five men and a woman) in Las Vegas in December.  That sounds like something people would think I'm capable of, sans the UFC level of skill at it!   
  • Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal had Round 6 of their UFC main event outside a Miami restaurant - then Masvidal went after someone else.  Felony battery charges.
  • The National College Players Association has sued the 350 Division I schools for a racist collusive payment prohibition.  They want the end of collegiate amateur football and basketball -- the NCPA has already demanded the Power 5 conferences be forced to view their athletes as employees of the school, rather than students.  Given what some players get away with as Football Man, do you REALLY want to go down that path?   
  • facepalm, yet giggle...  In an Indiana first-round rout loss, Indiana's best play was probably a Hoosier cheerleader who, when the ball was wedged between the shot clock and the back of the backboard, went on the shoulders of one of her "bases" and got the ball when no one else was prepared with sufficient height to get it.
  • She now has an official T-shirt to honor the feat.
  • Jusuf Nurkic has been fined $40,000 by the NBA for a profanity-laced tirade vs. fans and taking one fan's cell phone and chucking it.  I smell lawsuit...   
  • Three athletes and an employee have accused Peter Foley, former coach of US Snowboarding, of sexual assault.  Waiting to see who, and how many, have abused Chloe Kim.  (Damn right I said it!!)   
  • Toronto has unveiled a "third jersey" designed by Justin Beiber.
  • And, on that note, I need to throw up...
