Former Major League Baseball celebrity Jose Canseco made his debut for the Worcester Tornadoes where every pitch was recorded and put onto YouTube. God bless you internet.
Despite being walked on his first two at bats, Jose had a pretty dismal performance for the night and did not look pleased. Chants of “Steroids!” filled the front rows and also Canseco’s catch phrase of “hug for u” could even be heard.
Hopefully we will be able to get Jose’s perspective on the evening via @JoseCanseco where he is known to spout off craziness.
Tyler Bray, possibly the number one quarterback in the SEC, celebrated Mother’s Day like any other son. He got a pedicure with his mom. Of course, whenever you are a high profile athlete of a program like the Tennessee Volunteers, the first thing you should do is take a picture of it on Instagram and Tweet it for the world to see.
The fate of Derek Dooley’s coaching career pretty much rests in Tyler Bray’s arms, or in this case, feet. To say Dooley is on the hot seat in Knoxville is an understatement.
The college football offseason is where we look forward to the slightest thing that reminds us of the gridiron. Today, Nike’s blog, gave us a taste of what the Arkansas Razorbacks could be wearing this college football season. They had to tease us by giving the grainiest photograph possible.
We are waiting for some higher quality images but watching quarterback Tyler Wilson throw in all black in 2012 would be pretty amazing. Also, Kniles Davis will be an absolute monster this year after he returns from an injury.
The new head coach, John L. Smith, is probably looking to get the players and recruits minds off of the Bobby Petrino situation. This looks like a good distraction.
I’m normally not a fan of uniform black outs, white outs, or whatever color out but it may look pretty solid.
We will rate these uniforms 4 ‘Woo Pig Sooies!’ out of 5.
Before Will Muschamp was hired as the head coach of the Florida Gators, he was the defensive coordinator for the Texas Longhorns under Mack Brown. Being in the Big 12, Muschamp had traveled to College Station to face the Texas A&M Aggies before. Let’s just say Muschamp didn’t exactly have the highest regards for the town.
You ever been to College Station? It’ll be the only time you go.
I’m sure Muschamp’s comments will come up as bulletin board material for the September 8th visit the Florida Gators have planned to Texas A&M’s Kyle Field. This Steve Spurrier like jab at the Aggies is just what the SEC needs. It makes college football that much more exciting when coaches like Urban Meyer and Lane Kiffin are taking shots at each other.
If the Gators show some improvement this year, we can all hope to see Will Muschamp troll other teams hard. As of right now, it’s kind of hard to talk crap when you are 7 and 6.
Remember when Tommy Rees, the Notre Dame quarterback, thought it would be a good idea to knee a cop in the stomach? Well that got him pepper sprayed and arrested. Rees originally faced a felony for this alleged act but prosecutors reduced it to a misdemeanor for resisting arrest and battery. Just when we thought the worst was over for The Fighting Irish, Deadspin found out that Carlos Calabrese may be in even more trouble.
According to reports, the 2012 senior Calabrese tried to intervene that night. He was charged with disorderly conduct but as of today another misdemeanor charge of intimidation was filed. The charge of intimidation stems from an allegation that he threatened arresting officer Dorian Finley.
Prosecutors said Calabrese asked Finley “if he knew a particular officer,” then “stated that he knows people,” then “asked if Officer Finley was a Notre Dame football fan.”
The charging documents state Finley responded that it was “irrelevant,” to which Calabrese allegedly responded “that it was relevant and that Officer Finley did not like Notre Dame football by how he (Finley) was acting toward him and his teammates.”
Once Rees was taken away by police, prosecutors said, Calabrese told Finley “My people will get you.” Prosecutors said Finley asked Calabrese if he was threatening him, to which Calabrese allegedly repeated “My people will get you.”
Even after saying something as stupid as this to a officer of the law, he (allegedly) walked away after he was ordered to come back to the officer. The funny thing is that both Tommy Rees and Carlo Calabrese both have hearings in court tomorrow. I’m sure Notre Dame’s touchdown Jesus is really bummed right now. I’m sure Brian Kelly will probably be a little angry too.
