The American Football Coaches Association and the NCAA D1 Football Oversight Committee are in talks of potentially getting rid of kickoffs from collegiate football games. The main reason being to improve players safety.

AFCA executive director Todd Berry is quoted saying that he is “excited we’re starting to have this discussion”.  He also stated that, “It looks like the data is skewed where we have more injuries on that play. If that’s the case, we have to look at eliminating the play, modifying the play, change blocking schemes.” Basically saying that a large portion of injuries happen during kickoffs.

Dennis Dodd, a CBS Sports analyst, mentioned in his article that Pop Warner, a youth football organization, banned kickoffs from all youth division teams age 10 and under (possibly sparking the NCAA discussion to eliminate kicksoffs). But I find that completely irrelevant to this situation. The reason Pop Warner banned kickoffs for ages 10 and under is because those kids aren’t experienced enough to know how to protect their bodies during a collision in order to avoid injuries. These college athletes already know the fundamentals of tackling and the tactics to use in order reduce the chances of injury.

Stupid. Don’t do it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I understand the “players safety” angle, but injuries are just a part of football. You don’t play the sport if you’re not willing to put your life on the line. The way I see it, there is zero chance of this happening. The opening kick-off is a huge part of collegiate football and I don’t see it going away any time soon. Some traditions are just to sacred to change.

Yesterday I wrote that Stephen Colbert is the late night host we both deserve and need right now. While his ratings have been far from stellar in his first 10 months helming the Late Show, the fact is Stephen Colbert is the most sensical, poignant, and intelligent late night host on television. While Jimmy Fallon has the game, and Jimmy Kimmel has the pranks, Colbert can be counted on to bring the substance. With the nightmare the world seems to be living in these days, both abroad and domestically, we need Colbert to step up again as the voice of reason.

However, as great as Colbert was and still is, there is one man who is better: his mentor, Jon Stewart.

These guys are the Batman and Robin of late night television, and we need them now more than ever.

The last thing you’d expect to emerge from the ocean is a wild sea boar, but that’s because you don’t live near the Baltic Sea. These people, however, do live near the Baltic Sea–and they also seemed to be pretty surprised about the fact a 200-pound animal washed up on shore and immediately started attacking people.

I never really understood why people are so afraid of wild boars. That being said, I’m from New York City and have never come face to face with them. This boar doesn’t even have tusks and seems to be dealing with the beachdwellers with ease–knocking them over like they’re bowling pins.

The 2016 Summer Olympics are rapidly approaching, so let’s take a few minutes to get familiar with U.S. Olympic middle distance runner Brenda Martinez. Brenda is from Rancho Cucamonga, California, and she specializes in 800 and 1,500 meter events. Brenda had lots of success at UC Riverside, as she finished in 2nd place in the 1,500 meter at the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and was named an All-American three times.

On the international circuit, Brenda has brought home three medals. At the 2013 World Championships, she won a bronze in the 800 meter. At the 2014 World Relays, she won a gold in the 4 x 800 meter relay and a silver in the 4 x 1,500 meter relay.

After showing a tremendous amount of resiliency, Brenda has earned the opportunity to try to add some Olympic hardware to her trophy case. During the 800 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Brenda was in outstanding shape to qualify for her first Olympic team when she was tripped with roughly half of a lap to go. Brenda hit the deck and was unable to recover, finishing in a heartbreaking 7th place.

But instead of feeling sorry for herself, the 28-year-old came back with a vengeance. On Sunday, July 10, Brenda came in 3rd place in the 1,500 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials to punch her ticket to Rio. Her time of 4:06.16 was just .03 faster than 4th place finisher Amanda Eccleston.

Let’s celebrate Brenda’s bounce back effort and her first Olympic appearance by taking a look at 22 of her hottest photos.

Muhammad Riyad has been named as the 17-year-old Afghan refugee who attacked passengers on a German train last night. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a video released by their propaganda news agency, Amaq.

According to The Washington Post, ISIS has claimed that Muhammad Riyad is a member, referring to him as a “fighter” in a propaganda statement. The newspaper quotes the group’s news agency, Amaq, referring to Riyad being “one of the fighters of the Islamic State and the fighter answered calls to target countries of the coalition that is fighting the Islamic State.” The reports continues to say that an initial search of Riyad’s room recovered a hand painted ISIS flag.

After the attack nearin Würzburg-Heidingsfeld, local police said in an official statement,  that four people sustained life threatening injuries.

Here is the video where he claims his loyalty to ISIS:

“Eleven years ago I invented a word … Truthiness.”

I know I’ve been slighting ODing on Colbert content this week (my bad angry conservatives) but you gotta admit, the dude is brining out the big guns this week. Crashing the RNC stage, pulling Jon Stewart out of retirement, and then brining back his legendary “The Colbert Report” character, all in just 24 hours. That’s called hitting for the cycle my friends.

I can only imagine the greatness that would have come out of Jon Stewart’s Daily Show and The Colbert Report during this election cycle.

The ladies of Arizona State University’s Alpha Delta Pi sorority have made a rush video for the ages. Obviously it helps when all the sisters are cute and fun, but we’re a big fan of the long drone shots and footage from the Rae Sremmurd concert.

You know who else likes these ladies? Everyone, apparently.

This video has been getting shared a ton, so we’re hoping that it helps the women of ADPi with their recruitment next Fall–not that they’ll need it.

Vanessa Haydon, a model and actress, has been modeling since childhood. Her mother, Bonnie Kay, ran the Kay Models agency. Her sister, Veronika, is also a model. She studied psychology at New York’s Marymount College. Vanessa is married to Donald Trump Jr., whom she met at a fashion show in 2003. Together, Donald Jr. and Vanessa have five children together. They have two daughters, Kai Madison and Chloe Sophia, and three sons, Donald John Trump III,  Tristan Milos, and Spencer Frederick. Vanessa also happens to be a notch in the legend Leonardo Dicaprio’s belt, as the two dated when she was 20.

In fact, Vanessa was introduced to her future husband by her now-father-in-law, Donald Trump.  According to the New York Times, this is how the meeting went down: “I’m at this fashion show,” Vanessa Trump said, recalling their meeting in 2003. “Donald Trump comes up to me with his son: ‘Hi, I’m Donald Trump. I wanted to introduce you to my son Donald Trump Jr.'”

Vanessa has also had a couple roles as an actress, appearing in Something’s Gotta Give (2003), Miss USA (2004) and The Apprentice (2004). Just like every woman in the Trump family, she is blonde and beautiful, so check out her hottest photos!

A man with a gun has barricaded himself in hotel room in Bollene, France. There are also reports of a suspicious package being found outside the building. A gunman has barricaded himself in a hotel in Bollene, according to police sources quoted by local media. The hotel was evacuated and police operation is in progress, report local media. The gunman barricaded himself in early afternoon at the Hotel Formule 1 Bollène, in the department of Vaucluse in southern France. The building has been evacuated, while military officers and firefighters are stationed near the scene, according to local media.

“A deranged man is holed up in the Formule 1 hotel,” a spokeswoman for the local police told Reuters.  While the gunman’s motives are still not clear, the suspect is thought to be armed with a knife and may have an explosive device, a local gendarme officer said.

A couple weeks ago, you probably got wind of the South Hampton party known as #Sprayathon2016–the charity event hosted by Brett Barna that went viral. There was a lot of bad press about the party that raised $100K for Last Chance Animal Rescue; including word from the home’s owner that people had trashed the inside of the house, ruined art work, and generally destroyed the $20 million property.

The owner, who we now know is Omar Amanat, of the home that was used in the event wrote a scathing letter to the New York Post (who were only too happy to publish it) about how the guests of the party were disrespectful. “It was like Jersey Shore meets a frat party. We are preparing a massive lawsuit . . . We’re waiting to serve [Brett].”

But today Barna went on CNBC to talk about his side of the story, and (surprise, surprise) the owner of the Hamptons home was full of it. Barna admitted that although he had since been fired from Moore Capital Management, the exploits of the party were wildly exaggerated.

“We ran a good, clean event. Nothing illegal happened. We had it run by the former police chief and a security team of eight people. There was no damage to the house. We weren’t even allowed inside the house.”

But why would someone like Omar exaggerate damages like that?

Maybe because the owner is a crook who’s desperately in need of cash, cash that he asked Barna to pay up front. Apparently Omar Amanat is facing serious counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud. Not only that, this guy can’t afford to make bail. From Page Six:

Prosecutors said Amanat helped conceal losses in hedge fund Maiden Capital, including by providing capital contributions to meet redemption requests.

Prosecutor Andrea Griswold questioned Amanat’s claims that he has only $2,700 in the bank, saying he lives in a $4.75 million rental property. She also said Amanat has a “history of not paying judgments,” adding that she could offer up witnesses who would attest to him having boasted that he is “judgment-proof and owes money all over the world.”

According to Brett, Amanat requested more money than they had agreed upon after the party was finished. In fact, he wanted more money than the charity was supposed to get.

So it makes perfect sense that some loser facing 50 years in prison and is in desperate need of money would try and blackmail a young professional whose charity event was wildly successful.

One of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the year, ‘Making A Murderer’, has been picked up by Netflix for a second season. The first season was a cultural event unlike one I have ever seen. For a solid 6 to 8 weeks, Making A Murderer headlines and theories dominated the internet. I myself must have wrote at least 5 articles about the show. Luckily for all the obsessisive fans like myself, the show has been officially picked up for a second season, and will be picking right back up where season one left off.

According to Variety:

The new installments will take fans of the documentary series back inside the story of convicted murderer Steven Avery, and his co-defendant, Brendan Dassey, as their respective investigative and legal teams challenge their convictions and the State fights to have the convictions and life sentences upheld. This next chapter will provide an in-depth look at the high-stakes post-conviction process, as well as the emotional toll the process takes on all involved.

Executive producers and co-directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are yet again going to be in charge. While the exact episode count and premiere date for Season 2 have yet to be announced, we expect it to start airing sometime in middle to late 2017, a little more than a year after the first season began.

On the second seasons, the creators Ricciardi and Demos said:

“We are extremely grateful for the tremendous response to, and support of, the series. The viewers’ interest and attention has ensured that the story is not over, and we are fully committed to continuing to document events as they unfold.”

Michelle Hadley, a 29-year-old California woman has been charged with multiple felony counts for allegedly harassing, stalking and impersonating the pregnant wife of her ex-boyfriend, including placing ads on Craigslist soliciting “rape fantasies,” authorities said Monday.

Hadley was officially charged with: felony stalking, attempted forcible rape, violating a protective order and assault, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

According to WGN TV,  Hadley is being held on $1 million bail and is due back in court on Aug. 19, and that if she is convicted, Hadley faces a maximum sentence of life in state prison.

Natalie Gulbis is one of the hottest athletes in the world. Born and raised in California area. Gulbis started playing golf around the age of 4, and by the time she reached age seven, she had won her first tournament. By the age of 10, she was breaking part, which is truly remarkable.

Her first professional win on the LPGA tour came at the July 2007 Evian Masters in France, where she defeated Jeong Jang in a playoff.

Considered to be a sex symbol in the LPGA, she released a 2005 calendar, just before the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open. However, the magazine was not sold because the USGA deemed it inappropriate. Then, in 2012, Gulbis appeared in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue wearing only body paint, and got everyone’s attention.

It’s not hard to see why Natalie is considered the most beautiful woman in golf.

If you’ve ever read one of my movie/tv/comic related articles, you would know that I consider myself a rather big comic book fan, and maybe the biggest Batman fan. Seriously, I mean it when I say that. so you know how hard it must be for me to admit that Batman V. Superman wasn’t all that good. While the Batman scenes were anything I could have wanted and more, the plot was to muddied, and Superman too depressing. That’s right, in a movie with Batman, director Zack Synder figured out a way to make SUPERMAN the most bummer of a character.

That’s why this Honest Trailer is perfect. It explains how much potential this movie could have had, but how it was all unraveled by Synder’s direction and Jesse Eisenberg’s utterly unbearable portrayal of Lex Luthor.

Luckily for us, Suicide Squad comes out in about two weeks, which we’re hearing is f*cking awesome. Let us pray.

Tonight on the first edition of SmackDown Live is the much-anticipated WWE draft, in which WWE’s superstars will be separated into the Raw and SmackDown brands. This is the ninth WWE draft since the inaugural brand split in 2002, and the first time since then that the roster will be split after being whole. It is the first draft since 2011, when after the WWE ended the original brand split to create a single unified roster. SmackDown Live begins tonight July 19th at 8 pm EST on USA Network; SmackDown had previously been shown on tape delay on Thursday nights.

The Raw and SmackDown brands have Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon, respectively, as commissioners. Last night on WWE Raw, Stephanie announced that iconic WWE Hall-of-Famer Mick Foley will be Raw’s general manager. Shane then announced that beloved former WWE champion Daniel Bryan, who was forced to retire in February due to concussion concerns, will be SmackDown’s general manager.

WWE has announced the following rules for the draft:

• Raw has the first overall pick
• Since SmackDown Live is a two-hour show and Raw is three hours, for every two picks SmackDown Live receives, Raw will receive three picks
• Tag teams count as one pick unless a Commissioner/General Manager specifically only wants one member of the team
• Six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster

Much remains up in the air, including whether there will a main champion for each show or still one WWE Champion. Stephanie announced that the cruiserweight division will return, which raises the question as to whether each brand will have their own cruiserweight, women’s and tag team champions or if those titles will be exclusive to a single brand. It also remains unclear if all the picks will be announced on SmackDown Live tonight or if the draft will be continued after, either on the subscription-required WWE Network or on the company’s social media channels.

The last rule, that six draft picks will be made off the NXT roster, is especially invigorating for wrestling fans. NXT is the WWE’s developmental WWE network show that also features renowned stars who have wrestled around the world like Finn Balor, Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Some of the most coveted WWE superstars are sure to include WWE champion Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, John Cena, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Bray Wyatt and Brock Lesnar. It will also be fascinating to see what happens to WWE’s women stars such as Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, and to tag teams like The New Day, Enzo & Cass, and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson.

Tonight’s SmackDown will also feature a  WWE Championship match between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, a rematch of last night’s Monday Night Raw main event that ended in a controversial draw. WWE’s Battleground Pay-Per-View this Sunday will be headlined by a championship match between the three former members of the group The Shield: Ambrose, Rollins and the currently suspended Roman Reigns.

It will be fascinating to see how the draft turns out, with the WWE heavily promoting its new Tuesday show but also wanting to keep its ratings up for its flagship WWE Monday Night Raw. With Shane and Stephanie at the helm, the two shows are playing up the rivalries between the two shows. The draft always has some explosive moments, like here when the Undertaker became enraged after he was drafted to Raw.

The 2016 WWE Draft, which will separate the WWE’s roster into the Raw and SmackDown brands, is taking place tonight. It should be a fascinating night that will go a long way toward shaping the future of WWE. The draft will be the main attraction for the first episode of SmackDown Live, which is finally being shown live at 8 p.m EST on Tuesdays on the USA Network after years of being shown on tape delay on Thursday nights.

At the helm of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley, and the regime in charge of SmackDown includes Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan. It’s the first brand split since the original one in 2002, and it should be compelling television to see where everybody ends up.

Also on the show is a title match between champion Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, a rematch of their match last night on Monday Night Raw that ended in a controversial draw.

WWE Draft 2016 Trailer

Donald Trump’s campaign aide Rick Gates has been named as the man responsible for approving Melania Trump’s speech infamous RNC speech that seemed to copy Michelle Obama’s speech from 2008, sources have told The Guardian and other media outlets.

Although Donald Trump’s office has said that they won’t fire anyone over the gaff, it’s hard to believe that a man like Rick won’t be punished in some way. That goes against what Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s former campaign manager said should happen. Obviously he’s taking shots at the man who took his job, but he told CNN that “When you are looking at and scrutinizing the GOP nominee’s wife to give the largest speech, in front of 35 million people, there is no detail that you should overlook…’I think if it was Paul Manafort, he’d do the right thing and resign.”

Corey shares the same sentiments that a lot of other Republicans and members of the GOP have: that the party responsible should be let go.

What Happened?

During Melania Trump’s 20-minute-long speech to the 2016 Republican National Convention, it was discovered that some of her words might have been plagiarized from a Michelle Obama speech given in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention. You can watch the comparison below.

There’s little doubt in anyone’s minds that Melania Trump had some help in writing the speech. She even told NBC News that, “I read it once over, and that’s all because I wrote it with as little help as possible.” That’s why people aren’t upset at her, they’re upset at Trump’s campaign.

John McCain’s 2008 campaign manager, Steve Schmidt, told RollCall that “this is a plagiarized speech, hands down, game, set, match on that. What an outrageous disservice to Melania Trump by the speechwriters on that campaign… This is not a good first night, and now you have brought scandal to a prospective first lady in the form of her convention speech.”

But the ghostwriters of the speech aren’t the only ones to blame. Trump is blaming his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, for the gaffe. And apparently sources close to the situation have revealed that Paul is doing whatever he can to protect his man, Rick, from Trump–including trying to blame Mrs. Trump.

Who Is Rick Gates?

Rick Gates is a campaign aide for Donald Trump. Gates used to work as a lobbying partner for Paul Manafort, Trump’s current campaign manager.

Here’s a description of Rick from RollCall.com, the first site to have broken the news that Mike Pence would be named as Trump’s VP.

Gates is a former lobbying partner of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and does not have experience in presidential campaigns. He has been described as a Trump delegate wrangler and a top aide to the campaign.

According to sources, Rick is the person who signed off on Melania’s speeches. It’s more than a little strange that he wouldn’t have had Melania’s speech read by convention experts who go through everything with a fine-tooth comb, but that might speak to Gates’ inexperience.

We think it’s pretty valiant of Paul to stick up for his business partner, but we’re not a member of the GOP. Many Republicans want Rick gone.

Simone Biles is a 19-year-old U.S. Olympic artistic gymnast from Spring, Texas. Simone’s 14 medals at World Championships are the most ever by an American female gymnast, and her 10 gold medals are a world record for female gymnasts. She’s a three-time world all-around champion (2013-2015), a three-time world floor champion (2013-2015), a two-time world balance beam champion (2014-2015), and she was a member of the U.S. Gymnastics team that brought home gold medals at the 2014 and 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

Simone will finally get a chance to add some Olympic hardware to her trophy case in 2016, as she secured one of the five roster spots on the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics team. This will be Simone’s first Olympic appearance, and it’s extremely hard to imagine her returning home without her neck covered in medals. Let’s do our part in wishing Simone good luck in Rio by taking a look at 22 of her hottest photos.
