After the NBA became predictable (hope you’re ready for Warriors vs. Cavaliers Round 4) and the NFL’s product lost a step (not to mention the concussion and anthem controversies), I found myself in need of a new sport to regularly watch.

While I had always played soccer growing up, I never cared much to watch it outside of the World Cup. But as I got older, I found myself watching more and more of the game the world calls football, and I found why people of all shape, sizes, and colors go crazy for it: outside of the excellent on-field product and concise game times (soccer games, barring overtime, run for just two hours with commercials), the game is filled with never-ending drama and storylines.

Transfer rumors, coach hirings and firings, players f*cking teammates wive’s, promotion & relegation, corruption scandals, oil sheik money — the list of regularly occurring soccer storylines goes on and on — so this new story about RB Leipzig building a smoking room for an opposing team’s coach is merely the latest.

via Bleacher Report:

RB Leipzig will reportedly create a smoking room at their home stadium ahead of their showdown with Napoli on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League to cater for the habit of visiting manager Maurizio Sarri.

According to Bild, building work is being done at the Red Bull Arena to give Sarri an area in which he can smoke. Napoli have reportedly asked for the smoke detectors to be turned off when the Serie A side head to Leipzig.

The FUSSBALL Bild Twitter account provided some images of the area being put together, which is said to be 3.5 metres high and 3 metres wide.

This dude can’t even go from the locker room to the field without having a quick hoon. What a savage. Europe is just a different place, man.

Michigan State University has recently faced flooding on campus that is said to have been the worst the school has faced in over 40 years.

What happened?

According to interim President John Engler during a news conference, the nearby Red Cedar River was above 9 feet Wednesday, with the flood stage at 7 feet. According to The Detroit News, he gave the following statement:

“Be careful if you’re trying to come to campus. Changing conditions are affecting not only the roads but sidewalks and walkways.”

Warmer temperatures, melting snow and ice in the area, and recent rain is believed to be what caused the river to flood.

University staff had planned to work until late Wednesday in order to installed plastic barriers filled with sand along the river; reportedly, Lynda Boomer, director of planning design and construction for MSU, confirmed a barrier measured around 1,200 feet will be kept up until spring. Reportedly, this is the first time the school has deployed a flood barrier on campus.

According to MSU Today, various locations on campus and nearby roads have been closed down, including the Auditorium Road Loop and the IM Circle pool. In addition, Thursday and Friday classes that were meant to be held at the Computer Center, Jenison Fieldhouse and Kresge Art Center have been relocated. In addition, the following warnings have been issued:

“The following sidewalks will be closed: all sides of the Computer Center; between the Computer Center and the Hannah Administration Building; on the south side of Hannah Administration Building up to the south building entrance. The bridge from Wells Hall to the Computer Center will also be closed.”

“Access to the Computer Center will be minimally available through the north entrance only, but anyone wishing to enter the building will be escorted through the construction area to the entrance. All other entrances are emergency egress only. Be prepared for significant construction work and noise in the area. The south entrance to the Administration Building will also be closed.”

“Employees who work in buildings along the river are advised to watch for water seeping into the basements and to alert the Flood Command Center at 517-884-9511 if this occurs.”

What is being said about the flood?

Diane Cross, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, has also released the following flood warning:

“We had a trouble spot this am on U.S. 24/Telegraph under U.S. 12/Michigan Avenue from about 6 a.m.-1 p.m. We got a pump out there and cleared it. In the Dearborn area, when a lot of rain causes the Ecorse Creek to rise, we get some flooding on Telegraph.”

Road Commission spokeswoman Emily Kizer has also issued the following statement:

“We ask that drivers use caution anytime they see water over a road and to seek an alternate route if possible.”

Okay, this video leads me to one of two conclusions about Ciara:

–Either A): she’s an alien.

–or B): Future played her ass so bad that she promised herself she’d find the biggest f*cking goober on Earth on marry him to avoid any potentinal heartbreak.

Those are the only two explanations I could come up with as to why a world-class smoke like Ciara could end up with the football player equivalent of the new boyfriend from Liar Liar.

This video almost comes across as intentional deadpan humor, that’s how truly cringeworthy it is. Like Russell Wilson woke up, looked himself in the mirror and said: “You know what I’m going to do today? I’m going to take my awkwardness and turn that shit up to 1000 in a Twitter video to the Yankees! That’ll get the haters going!” And then proceeded to execute that plan perfectly.

Some highlights:

*awkwardly smiling into the camera while not speaking as the video begins*:

Twitter

“Hey … hey uh Aaron Judge, I know you wanna throw some balls, uh, passes, so let let’s uh play some ball and we’ll see we’ll have a little homerun derby too.”

Twitter

“Stanton I’m coming for you too we’ll have some fun baby.”

Twitter

“And hey let’s go win a World Series, why not? Peeeeaccee.”

Twitter

The only problem with that theory is you know his corndog ass isn’t trying to mess with anyone — he’s just genuinely the world’s biggest dweeb who lucked out into being a handsome, freak athlete. He’s essentially a football playing-George Michael Bluth.

So to all the Russell Wilson haters out there, chalk today up as yet another victory, because you’ve probably earned yourself a swath of new teammates thanks to one 24-second Twitter video from the King of Cornballs himself.

Well, there you have it folks.

The sit for the long-anticipated rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin (“GGG”) has been officially set for Las Vegas. It was previously announced that on May 5th, 2018 the two middleweight fighters will once again square off to decide who is the Middleweight champion of the world.

The first fight between the two, back on September 16th, 2017, saw the two boxers fight to a draw but the result was not without controversy. Many saw the fight skew heavily in GGG’s favor as it looked like Alvarez was beaten handily. However, the judges felt differently and scored the match evenly for both boxers. The result came under heavy scrutiny, with judge Adalaide Byrd on the receiving end of much of the criticism.

The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and the middleweight championship will be on the line. Fans have been clamoring for a rematch after the ending of the first fight, and this one promises to have just as many fireworks as the previous bout. New York City had made a significant push to be the host of the fight, but in the end, Las Vegas won the rights to be the location for the match.

Needless to say, Golovkin feels very confident about his chances in this second bout saying:

“It feels right that the rematch returns to the scene of the crime…This time, there will be no drama with a decision. I won the first fight and left the ring as world champion wearing all the belts. And I’m going to win the second fight. It’s going to be a record fight and a golden night for me and boxing at T-Mobile Arena.”

Be sure to tune in on May 5th to see who takes home the belt. Get yourself hyped with this teaser from HBO.

At least three fraternities at the University of Kansas have been suspended since the start of the 2018 spring semester.

According to a report by the Kansas City Star, the Delta Upsilon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity chapters have ceased operations. The fraternities will remain suspended while the University of Kansas investigates allegations of code of conduct violations.

The university is reportedly investigating health and safety violations at the chapters. One of the fraternities, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (known as SAE), has been put on probation for violations related to hazing, harm to persons and organizational responsibility until Jan. 31, 2020.

Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Upsilon have also been suspended as the university investigates allegations of hazing.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon spokesperson Johnny Sao said officials at the fraternity’s service center had issued a Jan. 19 cease-and-desist order to its KU chapter, halting operations until further notice.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity spokesperson Ashley Martin said the fraternity had placed its Kansas chapter on an “emergency suspension” on Jan. 29 after receiving allegations the chapter violated fraternity policy.

“Student safety is the number one priority for Sigma Phi Epsilon, and hazing has no place in our, or any organization,” the fraternity’s headquarters said in a statement. “We expect all of our students to behave according to both their university’s policies and ours, and we work with our university partners to ensure that students and chapters are held accountable to our high standards.”

This is the latest fraternity suspension in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State and Penn State have all suspended fraternities.

Raise your glasses high everyone! Comedy Central’s Drunk History has been renewed for a sixth season. Less than a month into its fifth season, Comedy Central announced on February 22nd that the show had been renewed for another sixteen episodes of drunken escapades.

Drunk History began as a web series from Funny or Die and was eventually picked up by Comedy Central to become a TV series. The show, created by comedians Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, helps viewers digest history a little easier. Let’s face it, history can be a bit dry at times so why not spice it up with the introduction of booze? On the show, various actors and comedians drink tons of alcohol and then retell various historical events to the viewer. Subjects have included the Watergate scandal, the story of Lewis and Clark, and the birth of Rock & Roll.

Drunk History has been a great success for Comedy Central, earning numerous Emmy nominations including a win for outstanding costumes for a variety program or special. Comedy Central president Kent Alterman had this to say about the show’s renewal: “They say history is written by the victors, but after five seasons, it’s now clear that it is best told by drunken comedians.”

The network appears to have plenty of faith in the show as it has become not just entertainment but also a pretty valuable teaching tool. After all, unless you were lucky enough to get tickets to Hamilton, where else would you have learned about the Reynolds Affair?

With that, let’s enjoy some of the best clips from Drunk History.

Every year or so, Megan Fox will pop up on Instagram to remind everyone that when she’s on her game, there’s arguably no one hotter in the world. And at just 31-years-old, she’s still plenty capable of throwing the high heat with the game’s elite.

While there hasn’t been much acting in Megan Fox’s career as of late, that’s just fine by us, as it simply means she has more time for important things such as modeling.

via Daily Mail:

The stunning Transformers actress looked incredible in the new ad campaign for her latest Frederick’s Of Hollywood Collection, which debuted on Thursday. The 31-year-old brunette bombshell, who has said Marilyn Monroe is her inspiration, joined the company as co-owner, creative collaborator and global brand ambassador in 2016.

In her first set up the Jennifer’s Body actress wears all white with several gold, pearl and crystal necklaces hanging from her neck for a boho touch. The white bra is sculpted on the edges and has lace underneath.

Another bra had all lace and a sheer panel in front with what looked to be underwire support. The Ocean Ave vet also had on high-waisted lace undies which has been the style these days for young women who want to avoid pantie lines on the hips.

Five fraternities the University of Nevada have lost their university recognition because they did not agree to the school’s new rules.

According to reports, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Theta Chi and Zeta Psi have lost their charters because they did not sign a 2018 UNR Relationship Agreement.

The agreement that required that fraternities hire a live-in adviser and submit a report of every incident at the end of each semester to university officials.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that all of the school’s 33 fraternities and sororities had until January 22 to sign the agreement. The five fraternities that refused to sign have been removed from UNR’s website and now operate as disaffiliated organizations.

via Reno Gazette-Journal:

In 2016 and 2017, seven fraternities were found in violation of university policies. All seven involved alcohol, and two fraternities were suspended. Others faced sanctions that included not being allowed to accept new members, additional education requirements and disciplinary probation.

Sigma Nu Fraternity lost recognition for 15 years following the death of pledge Ryan Abele in October 2016. Abele, 18, fell on a staircase at the fraternity house after a night of partying, according to a police investigation.

Sigma Alpha Epision lost recognition until May 31, 2021 for alcohol use and endangering the health and safety of others.

This is the latest fraternity suspension in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State and Penn State have all suspended fraternities.

They say one of the hardest things to do in life is admitting you’re wrong, so I come before you today a humbled man, as I must admit that Tracee Ellis Ross is quite hot.

Ross, the 45-year-old actress known for her roles on Girlfriends and ABC’s Black-ish, is the daughter of legendary Motown recording artist Diana Ross.

Ross began her career acting in independent films and variety series as well as hosting the pop-culture magazine The Dish on Lifetime. From 2000 to 2008, she played the starring role of Joan Clayton in the CW comedy series Girlfriends, receiving two NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series.

She also has appeared in the films Hanging Up, I-See-You.Com, and Daddy’s Little Girls, before returning to television playing Dr. Carla Reed on the BET sitcom Reed Between the Lines, for which she received her third NAACP Image Award.

However, it’s been her role as Dr. Rainbow Johnson in the ABC comedy series Black-ish that has pushed Ellis Ross to the forefront of pop culture, and for that, we’re forever grateful.

Zion Williamson, the stud High School basketball player and future star at Duke, was up to his old ways again.

On February 22nd, in a game against Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach, the Spartanburg Day School star threw down an absolutely crazy dunk, and things got even worse for the defender when the ball came down and hit him right in the face.

Oh and that wasn’t the only play where Williamson showcased his incredible talent.

Finally, even though he didn’t finish this dunk… I mean, ARE YOU KIDDING ME ZION?!

In case you haven’t been paying attention, Williamson was one of the most sought-after recruits in the country with almost every major College program trying to get him to commit to their school. In January, Williamson verbally committed to play for the Duke Blue Devils and legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski. He chose Duke over other finalists Clemson, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Despite still being in high school, he can count Drake, Odell Beckham Jr., and Kevin Durant amongst his fans. Drake and Beckham have worn his jersey, and Durant described him as a “once in a generation-type athlete.” He also has amassed over one million followers on Instagram.

Williamson is undoubtedly someone to pay attention to in the years to come and don’t be surprised if you see him lining up against Lebron James sooner rather than later.

No one does work after lunch on a Friday. You go out, eat a heavy bread-based meal, come back, doze off for an hour, then bull shit and plan your weekend. The Friday afternoon schedule has been around as long as cubicles, and it works. It works because it’s good for the mind and soul. You’ve spent a week staring at an illuminated screen, and now it’s time to stare down some empty pints if you catch my drift. I’m talking about drinking beers on the weekend.

I’m sure there’s a psychological term for that shift of mind – from thinking to drinking, or monotonous to spontaneous, or two other words that kinda rhyme. I don’t know ’em though. I imagine only rocket scientists, Doogie Houser, and other smart folks would be in the know of such psychological terms. Not me. I’m just a humble gatherer of gifs to help get you through to the weekend.

With the College Basketball regular season nearing a dramatic and incredibly entertaining finish, the time has come for March Madness fanatics to come out in full force and get hyped for one of the most exciting and exhilarating postseason sporting events of the year. When it comes to filling out a winning bracket, the first rule of thumb is to NEVER pick a 16th seed to upset a 1st seed in the tournament. Considering this type of upset has never occurred, it would seem logical and fruitful to avoid being bold with regards to making this type of an ill-advised selection. Still, every team that makes the tournament should garner their fair share of respect and recognition, even if they pose little to no threat to the opponent that they will inevitably face. They may be mostly unknown and frankly irrelevant once tournament play commences, but these determined underdogs deserve a place in the limelight, however brief.

South Region:
1. Winthrop Eagles

Although they started off wildly inconsistent in non-conference play, the Eagles have since become one of the best teams in the Big South Conference. Scoring 80.9 points per game, the Eagles are a prolific offense that is adept at taking high percentage shots from the field (48.1 FG%). While they probably need to win their conference tournament to be apart of March Madness, the Eagles have the scoring capabilities to make an impressive run down the stretch.

2. Nicholls Colonels

Similar to the Winthrop Eagles, the Southland Conference Leading Colonels have been highly successful when their offense is firing on all cylinders. Although they are inconsistent at shooting from long range (36.1 3P%), they are a solid free throw shooting team (71.5 FT%), which will be vital to them winning tight games towards the end of the season where every game will be a must win for this program to make the NCAA Tournament.

West Region:
1. Pennsylvania Quakers

While it appears that there will not be a sleeper Ivy League program that has a strong chance of getting past their opponent in the first round, the Quakers arguably have the best chance of making some noise in the NCAA Tournament. Averaging 38.4 rebounds per game while garnering six steals per game, the Quakers have the length and vigilance to frustrate an overconfident opponent that plays too loosely with the basketball.

East Region:
1. Southern Jaguars

Shamelessly one-dimensional as an elite rebounding program (39.4 RPG), the Jaguars have the sizeable athletes that are extremely physical when playing the glass. Averaging less than 70 points scored per game, the Jaguars will need to rely on their relentless playmakers in the SWAC tournament if they hope to sneak their way into the NCAA Tournament.

2. Lipscomb Bisons

Arguably the most intriguing potential sixteenth seeds, the Bisons are competitively dynamic when it comes to scoring (81.7 PPG) and rebounding the basketball (39.6 RPG). Although their turnover rate is a bit alarming (15 TPG), the Bisons have enough notable scorers to make up for this weakness if they can consistently hit their shots from the field.

Midwest Region:
1. Wagner Seahawks

Proficient when it comes to rebounding the basketball (38.8 RPG) and solid defensively (68.1 PAPG), the Seahawks are versatile albeit unintimidating from a competitive dominance standpoint. However, the Seahawks are opportunistic when forcing turnovers (seven SPG), which will be vital in keeping their upcoming contests interesting assuming they can make it to the NCAA Tournament.

From a competitive standpoint, most 15th seeds are only marginally better than the 16th seeds that make the NCAA Tournament every year. However, these disrespected programs have actually pulled off tremendous upsets from time to time, suggesting that these lesser-known programs possess the competitiveness and talent needed to topple some of the elite programs in the country. Although it may be a rare occurrence and mostly unwise to pick one of these teams to pull off a shocking upset come tournament play, the evidence is clearly there to support the possibility of this situation occurring, however unlikely it might be. Considering the amount of parity that has existed in college basketball this season, the chances of a 15th seed pulling off a dramatic victory is much more likely to occur than in years past.

South Region:
1. Montana Grizzlies

Although the Grizzlies have been a bit inconsistent in terms of establishing a competitive identity, they have persevered through these issues more often than not as they are currently 13-2 in the Big Sky Conference. Garnering eight steals per game, the Grizzlies have an underrated defense that has the potential to surprise a cocky two seed if they can fight hard down the stretch of their schedule and make the tournament.

West Region:
1. Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks

While the Lumberjacks may be second to Nicholls in the Southland Conference, the Lumberjacks boast a much more impressive overall record and possess a highly prolific offense as well. Scoring 83.2 points per game while shooting 49.7% from the field, the Lumberjacks once again have the capable shooters and a gifted defense (11 SPG) to scare and potentially take down any program they face in the tournament.

East Region:
1. Bucknell Bison

Well on their way to winning the Patriot Conference handily (currently have a four-game lead), the Bisons appear to be on the verge of making their second straight NCAA Tournament. Scoring over 80 points per game, the Bison are a high volume shooting program that lives and dies by their streaky shot making abilities. However, when they are on their game from a shooting perspective, they are incredibly capable of outscoring any opponent they have to face.

Midwest Region:
1. Northern Kentucky Norse

Adept at both playing defense (65.3 PAPG) and unselfishly passing the basketball to their open playmakers (16.6 APG), the Norse are one of the more intriguing and dynamic 15th seeds that could potentially make it to the NCAA Tournament. Better still, the Norse are an efficient scoring unit as they are averaging 78.4 points per game while making 48.1% of their shots from the field. The odds are stacked against them, but the Norse have the ideal makeup of an upset contender that can win in more ways than one.

Another day, another Russian Olympic Athlete testing positive for a banned substance.

On February 23rd, it was announced that Nadezhda Sergeeva, a Russian bobsledder, tested positive for a banned heart medication. The Russian Bobsledding Federation President Alexander Zubkov told the Associated Press: “She confirms she took no such medication and the team confirms she was not issued any medication…I can tell you that on the 13th it was clean, but on the 18th it gave a positive result for the heart medication.”

It hasn’t been a good few days for Russian athletes as another athlete, curler Aleksandr Krushelnitcki, tested positive for a banned substance and was subsequently stripped of his bronze medal.

Even after getting caught up in a massive doping scandal that saw athletes from Russia banned from competing under the Russian flag in the 2018 Winter Olympics, it seems that some of the country’s athletes (they were allowed to participate in the games but as the “Olympic Athletes from Russia) can’t stay clean. Any athlete that tested negative for banned substances before the start of the games was allowed to compete, but as the athletes are tested throughout the Olympics, it seems that some of the competitors decided to throw caution to the wind.

Even though she tested positive for these substances, it did not do Sergeeva much good as she placed 12th in the women’s bobsledding event she competed in.

Russia had hoped that they may be reinstated for the games’ closing ceremony so that their national anthem could be played and their flag could be flown, but Sergeeva and Krushelnitcki’s positive drug tests cast further doubt that this will happen. The International Olympic Committee is set to vote on Saturday to decide whether Russia will be reinstated, but it doesn’t seem likely.
