- 11 AM PDT: Oh boy. If this is the Alan Williams story, none of this meshes. Williams apparently left the team after the Packer game, and at least one report has the raid on his house taking place last week Monday.
- ABC 7 in Chicago is now reporting that over $100,000 in equipment was stolen earlier this week from Soldier Field. It is almost impossible to think that wouldn't merit a raid, but the stories and timelines don't mesh up.
- Nope, it's not. The full ABC 7 report has multiple thieves cutting down fencing and stealing the groundskeeping field vehicles some point overnight Wednesday night. So the time doesn't match up.
- 1:30 PM PDT: A statement, of sorts, from head coach Eberflus:
"I have, you know, a lot of friendship. I have feelings for him. And again, it’s ... he’s resigned and it’s for health and family and, and we’ll see where it goes from there.”"
Other:
- Final weekend of the September Sumo Tournament
- Ozeki Takakeisho has defeated Maegashira Rank 15 Atarifuji to send both to 10-3 with two rounds left. Takakeisho has the other two Ozeki, Atarifuji has Abi for Day 14.
- Ozeki Kirishima has escaped kadoban, and all but sent maiden Ozeki Hoshoryu to kadoban himself (faces Takakeisho tomorrow, must win last two days to get 8 wins and avoid it).
- Four wrestlers (Sekiwake Daieisho and Maegashira Takayasu, Kinbozan, and Hokuseiho) have nine wins.
- Daiesho has to face Kirishima, beat Takayasu.
- Takayasu has to face Tobizaru, already has lost to Daiesho and Atarifuji.
- Kinbozan has to face Kotonowaka, lost to Atarifuji and Hokuseiho.
- Hokuseiho has to face Tsurugisho, beat Kinbozan.
- And a unique situation in third-level Makushita Division.
- In the true spirit of what is believed to be the main meat-grinder division (120 wrestlers, only 7 rounds, and it's the highest "boy division". Win your way out of there, and it's Juryo and you cease being the higher wrestlers' bitch -- in American layman's terms.): No one could win all seven rounds, and seven different wrestlers made it to 6-1.
- Because of the unique nature of the division, no further wrestlers can in Day 14's regular action.
- But that means the seven will go into a seven-man tournament (I assume single-elimination with one bye) on Sunday to determine the division winner.
- The long-awaited TKO merger releases started yesterday.
- Biggest name on the list: 19-year veteran Dolph Ziggler got his walking papers.
- And a second just was added minutes before Smackdown, when Matt Riddle announced himself he had been cut.
- A number of second-level names join the chaff who left.
