Well, Here We Go: The Cleveland Indians (?!) And The Chicago Cubs (?!?!) Kick Off The World Series

After seven long and hard-fought months, the dust has settled and we are left with two teams. The Chicago Cubs will travel to Progressive Field to take on the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of the World Series. If you like good pitching, tonight should be a fun one as Jon Lester of the Cubs will face Corey Kluber of the Indians.

There are so many storylines for this World Series. You have two former Boston stars looking to win with their new teams in Indians Manager Terry Francona and Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein. There’s the battle of the two ex-Yankee relievers in Cubs’ Aroldis Chapman and the Indians Andrew Miller. Most importantly, the biggest storyline might involve the fanbases more than the actual players. One of these fanbases will end a drought that no fan should ever go through for this long: not winning a championship. Although Cleveland lost in the World Series back in 1997, it has been 68 years since the Tribe has won a championship. You think that’s bad? Try being a Cubs fan. This is the first World Series for the Cubbies since 1945 and they have not won it all since 1908, which almost sounds fake in all honesty. Could you imagine not having your team win a title in over 100 years? It’s unfathomable.

The Cubs have been the best team in baseball all year, winning a league-best 103 games. From top to bottom, this team is loaded. From pitcher Jon Lester’s dominance to Javier Baez’s hot streak, it’s hard to find a weakness. Just when you think the Cubs couldn’t get any better, Kyle Schwarber, their slugging left fielder who missed most of the year with a knee injury, was added to the roster yesterday. If Cubs win this World Series, Epstein might arguably go down as the greatest front office leader of all-time.

For the Indians, the strength is their pitching. Corey Kluber has been virtually unhittable, posting a 2-1 record with a 0.98 ERA. It’s no secret that the Indians want to get to their bullpen, which has been dominant this postseason. The addition of ALCS MVP Andrew Miller has taken the Indians from a good team to one step away from being a World Series champion. Francona already broke one streak in Boston. Can he do it again in Cleveland?

Will the Curse of the Billy Goat end in Chicago? Will the Indians turn Cleveland from a city of bad luck to the new city of winners? Something’s gotta give for one of these teams. Let’s take a look at how to watch Game 1 tonight.

Brad Pitt. The name alone has been a conversation starter since the late ’90s. He thawed our hearts as a humble hitchhiker in the critically successful Thelma & Louise. He riled us up in Kalifornia, Seven, and Fight Club before leaving us on the edge of our seats in Inglorious Basterds, The Oceans Trilogy, and Babel. Charming, ridiculously talented, and a name that is practically known worldwide let alone in the acting industry. This begs the question: How much is Brad Pitt worth now?

Brad Pitt’s Net Worth As Of 2016: $240 Million


1991 – 1995

Pitt’s love scene with Geena Davis in Thelma & Louise defined him as a sex icon by film critics. From then on, he was handed roles of roguish men from rock stars to cowboys. They all received a lukewarm reception. It was not until 1993 when the spotlight came back. This time, for Pitt’s menacing charm as a serial killer in the film, Kalifornia.

Following a successful portrayal of a villain, Pitt went on to star as more complex roles, including a human turned vampire in Interview with the Vampire that received cult status attention and the cautious son of an outlaw in Legends of the Fall (a role for which he received his first Golden Globe nomination). Fame only kept coming. In 1995, critics praised Pitt for his acting alongside Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cult thriller film Seven. The film made 327 million at the international box office. In 1995, Pitt received his first Golden Globe in the category of Best Supporting Actor in 12 Monkeys. After that, a slump of mediocre films followed: The Devil’s Own, Meet Joe Black and Seven Years in Tibet.


1999 – 2005

In 1999, Pit got the spotlight back for his turn in the role of Tyler Durden in Fight Club. Pitt received wide critical acclaim. For the next two years, Pitt went on to play well-received roles as fighters and brawlers. In 2001, he starred alongside George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts. in the highly successful Ocean’s Eleven remake. The film made $450 million worldwide and its sequel, Ocean’s Twelve, made $362 million. Pitt later starred in other box office hits Troy and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.


2006 – 2009

In 2006 Pitt starred in Babel for which he earned  high critical praise. Babel received several nominations and was awarded Best Drama at the Golden Globes. In 2007, Pitt starred again in Ocean’s Thirteen which performed average at the box office. In 2008, Pitt starred alongside George Clooney again in Burn After Reading, for which box office performance was low. Later that year Pitt took on a much more serious role in the very successfully and critically acclaimed film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Pitt received many performance nominations including the Screen Actors Guild. Benjamin Button received 13 nominations from the Academy Awards.


2009 – 2015

The next successful leading role for Pitt was his portrayal of a Nazi hunter in Inglorious Basterds. The film accumulated $311 million worldwide at the box office and received eight Academy Award nominations. Pitt’s performance was highly regarded. Later in 2012, Pitt took on a secondary role of a mob boss in Killing Them Softly. His performance was critically praised. In 2013, Pitt then starred in the science fiction horror film World War Z . The film made $540 million at the box office worldwide. One year later Pitt starred as a US Army Staff Sargent in Fury alongside Shia LaBeouf. The film was critically praised and grossed $211 million worldwide. While Pitt is known for his astounding acting performances, Pitt has also received praise for his work as a producer. In 2015, Pitt produced the film The Big Short, which grossed $102 million worldwide and earned five Academy Awards.

The wait to see Pitt on the screen in 2016 is almost up. Pitt’s future appearances for 2016 include a spy assassin in the upcoming thriller Allied, set for a U.S. release on November 23. Pitt will also be playing a lead character in an upcoming Netflix original film War Machine.

For more than 30 years, Brad Pitt has continued to grow more and more in the acting industry. His performances, whether as an actor or through his own creative vision as a director and producer-astound audiences. Pitt’s array of talent has made it to films of many themes and worlds and even when it slows down a bit- it just keeps growing. For Brad Pitt, the numbers should continue to grow.

Tiffany Scanlon: Hottest Photos On The Web Of The Bachelor Contestant

Tiffany Scanlon is a former contestant on the Australian version of The Bachelor and now current girlfriend of Megan Marx, another extremely attractive former blonde contestant on The Bachelor. In fact, that’s how the two women met: on the show. But now those two girls are seemingly done with dumb boys because they have each other to keep themselves happy.

Just yesterday, Tiffany’s baefriend, Megan, wrote on Instagram that the two of them are happily together in Australia and in love. I said this before in my previous post about Megan, and I’ll say it again: I think they’re both faking it for publicity. I recognize that saying two people of the same sex getting together for publicity purposes is pretty sh*tty, but these aren’t regular people we’re talking about here. These are the kinds of people “looking for love” on a reality television show in the hopes that they get noticed and spin that into other jobs.

Tiffany, for example, is making money on Instagram by promoting various clothing companies, workouts, etc. The fact that she does sponsored posts doesn’t mean that she’s a fraud or a bad person or anything (keep getting those checks) I’m merely pointing out that this isn’t a person who tries to keep her private life private. There’s a ton of opportunity and money to be made by getting your reality television show.

Anyways, enough about defending my theory about what these two are up to. Check out Tiffany’s hottest photos in the gallery below.

Deadman Walking In Cleveland: The Undertaker Met With The Cavaliers Before Tonight’s Ring Ceremony

LeBron James paid homage to The Undertaker by wearing the WWE t-shirt when the Cavaliers needed to rise like the Deadman from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals. Tonight the WWE legend met with the NBA Champions before tonight’s ring ceremony and season opener against the New York Knicks.

The Undertaker was accompanied by his wife- former WWE Diva Michelle McCool- and Dana Warrior- the wife of late WWE legend Ultimate Warrior. LeBron also memorably rocked an Ultimate Warrior t-shirt after the Cavaliers’ jet touched ground in Cleveland after they won the championship.

Just fantastic that Ultimate Warrior’s wife goes by the name “Dana Warrior” as if the former champion’s real first name was “Ultimate”. Pro wrestling is just the greatest.



In The Undertaker’s last publicized photos the 51-year-old was on crutches, so it is’s a relief to see him looking healthy tonight. Hopefully the Phenom can enter the squared circle for at least one more match at Wrestlemania in April.

As a fan of both the NBA and WWE it’s wonderful to see the mutual respect these world champions have for each other. Though I wouldn’t be complaining if the Undertaker decided to give Kevin Love a surprise chokeslam.

 

Hillary Clinton Went On Univision And It Was A Glorious Disaster

I don’t speak Spanish so this video absolutely bewilders me from all angles. You know when you wake up at a girl’s house and there’s that brief moment ‘holy shit where am I and what is happening?’? This video is two minutes of that feeling. But it doesn’t matter, this is one of those situations where you don’t need language. All you need are strictly the visuals to appreciate what’s going on. I mean, I guess we gotta give Hillary a little credit for doing literally whatever the hell she can to win herself a couple of votes, but my god, what a glorious trainwreck this was. From dancing with the host to drinking tequila to just being corny ass Hillary Clinton in general, you can just not look away.

So feast your eyes because with the election winding down, painfully embarrassing moments like this from Hillary and the Donald will be few and far between. Donald will go back to grabbing boobies and laying off casino employees while Hillary slides into the White House for another four years of the status quo (the status quo, by the way, is everyone blaming everyone else until the next election… Time is a flat circle).

Harvard Men’s Soccer Team Wrote A Sexual Scouting Report On Incoming Recruits

harvard-soccer-sexual-scouting-report

A 2012 Harvard Men’s Soccer team email chain has been leaked by a former teammate. The nine-page document contains a “sexual scouting report” on new female freshmen recruits, judging them by their looks and sexual appeal. In addition to rating their attraction, the email also assigned each new recruit (along with their photo) a sexual position.

Here’s a few quotes from The Harvard Crimson, the news source who was first contacted about the leak.

“She looks like the kind of girl who both likes to dominate, and likes to be dominated.”

“She seems relatively simple and probably inexperienced sexually, so I decided missionary would be her preferred position.

The author also assigned each woman a nickname, calling one woman “Gumbi” because “her gum to tooth ratio is about 1 to 1. For that reason I am forced to rate her a 6.

“She seems to be very strong, tall and manly so, I gave her a 3 because I felt bad. Not much needs to be said on this one folks.”

While you can be sure that the Harvard Men’s Soccer team is far from the first group of college-aged men to judge freshmen women in a semi-private email setting, the fact of the matter is that it’s Harvard, people love to talk about Harvard, and that “Harvard men should know better.”

First of all, they’re right about the “Harvard men should know better.” All men should know better. This email is in poor taste. I’m not going to sit here on a high horse and say that I’ve never talked like that with the boys because that’d be the biggest lie I’ve ever told, but I’d also be the first to admit that I know this kind of thing isn’t right.

But you know what else isn’t right? Leaking this email to the Crimson Harvard four years after the fact. To the guy who released the document, I’ve got a few questions for you. Has this sophomoric email chain been bugging you for that long? Was the weight on your shoulders that heavy? There has got to be some other explanation for why this comes forward now, although I feel like we’re probably never going to hear why.

I’d also like to point out that other than the “Gumbi” reference (which is laugh out loud funny), I was pretty disappointed by this Harvard student’s attempts at humor. This kid is supposed to not only be an Ivy-league student but a jock. That’s supposed to be the epitome of a dude who’s familiar with lockerroom banter and the English language.

NFL Standings, Week 8: Power Rankings & Must-See Details

NFL Power Rankings Week 8

It sucks how fast the NFL season goes every year, but here we are at the halfway point. It has been well documented that the NFL’s ratings have dropped this year, which could be a large part due to the election, but at the same time, the product has not been very good. You realistically have about four to six teams that could actually contend for a Super Bowl, and the quality of play just has not been what it has been in years past.

Fortunately for me, my New York Football Giants are back, baby! And by back I mean that they’ve won two straight heading into their bye week, and now sit at 4-3 (still last place in their division)! As much as I love the G-Men, I’m not stupid enough to think they have a shot at winning the Super Bowl, let alone making the playoffs, so for this week they sadly do not make my top ten ranking.


1. New England Patriots

I mean, what else is there to say about the Patriots? They’re consistently the best team in the NFL year in and year out, and with a win in Pittsburgh this past Sunday, given Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t playing, they sit atop their division at 6-1, as well as the NFL. I’m starting to think that I may never see another quarterback play for New England, because at age 39, Tom Brady continues to get better with age. He’s yet to throw an interception this year, and can pretty much make anyone look like a good receiver. I don’t really care for the Patriots all that much, but dammit sometimes you just have to tip your cap to them.


2. Minnesota Vikings

I’m not going to freak out about Minnesota losing their first game on Sunday. All the talking heads are acting like it’s the end of the world for the Vikings because the Eagles got a ton of pressure on Sam Bradford and were able to stop the run. Hey, idiots, that’s pretty much every game plan to win a football game. Listen, I’ll admit they should be somewhat concerned with the play of their offensive line, but their defense is still the best in football and is going to be able to keep them in games for the remainder of the season Adrian Peterson should be back at some point this year which will benefit the offense greatly. Don’t worry Minnesota, I still believe in you, even if you did cost me money last weekend.


3. Dallas Cowboys

Thank God they had a bye week because I’m getting tired of watching Dallas be good this year. They have the league’s leading rusher in Zeke Elliot running behind the best offensive line in football, the probable Rookie of the Year in Dak Prescott, a defense that isn’t playing as bad as I’d like for them to be playing, and oh yeah, they’re doing this without Tony Romo and Dez Bryant. Go to hell, Dallas.


4. Denver Broncos

The Super Bowl Champs crack my top 5 with a nice win Monday Night against the Texans. There’s still room for improvement with their offense, but I’ll give quarterback Trevor Siemian the benefit of the doubt because this still is his first time as a starter in the NFL. Thankfully for Denver, they have one of the best defenses in the league that will carry them into the playoffs.


5. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs really don’t do anything that wows you. They have a relatively stout defense to go along with a formidable offense, but they aren’t a team that I could see winning the Super Bowl. As I say all of that, they continue to win games, including a very impressive win on the road at Oakland a few weeks back, and currently sit at 4-2. The team finds different ways to win, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them playing in January at the start of next year (that’s the playoffs for all of the dummies out there).


6. Oakland Raiders

AFC West stand up! Three of the four AFC West teams round out the top six, in what looks to be the best division in football. As I mentioned earlier, the ratings are down this year for the NFL, one of its few bright spots belongs to the Raiders, as they’ve been the most fun team to watch week in and week out. While I don’t think they’re going to go to the Super Bowl this year, this team is going to be contenders in years to come.


7. Seattle Seahawks

Say what you will about their game with Arizona on Sunday, I thought it was so awesome. Two kicks inside 30 yards in overtime to win the game and each teams’ kicker missing them pretty badly is must-see television to me. Now having said all of that, the Seahawks defense continues to be one of the most feared in the NFL. The problem for Seattle is their weak offensive line, and a poor running game compared to years past, shout out to Marshawn Lynch for being awesome. I think they expect too much out of Russell Wilson, who is one of the best quarterbacks in the game, but he can only do so much. Having said all of that, they still only have one loss on the season, and will be a threat to anyone they face later on in the year.


8. Green Bay Packers

Hey Aaron Rodgers, thanks for showing up last week and getting my team a fantasy win, took you long enough. The problem for the Packers is that they have a pretty brutal schedule coming up, almost no running game, and their receivers have been having problems getting separation from defensive backs. Having said all of that, their defense has been playing very well this year, and I think/hope Rodgers’ three touchdown performance against the Bears last week help gets him back on track for the rest of the season.


9. Philadelphia Eagles

Like every other NFC East team, I hate the Eagles and wish bad things upon them. Now getting that off of my chest, their defense has been flat out awesome this year, and even though he’s starting to look like a rookie after his blazing hot start, quarterback Carson Wentz has surprised me this year with how well he’s played. I’m also hoping they beat up on the Cowboys Sunday night, but that’s to benefit the Giants.


10. Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions

DETROIT FOOTBALL!!! I actually don’t really think that the Lions are a top ten team, but I’ve always been a sneaky big Lions fan, and I have no idea why, and because I’m the one writing this article they get a spot in the top ten. Although they’ve had some bad losses this year, they also have some pretty big come from behind wins, all of which came on the arm of quarterback Matthew Stafford. The Staff Sergeant has been playing some of the best football of his career this year, and I hope it continues. Do I think the Lions are going to make the playoffs this year? Hell no, they’re the freaking Lions, but through seven games they’ve been one of the most surprising teams in the league this year.

Earlier this month, there was a police chase in Hammond, Indiana. A semi-truck refused to stop and things got pretty intense. Officers were forced to shoot out the semi-truck’s tires, and the driver would later get his ass tasered and pulled out of the vehicle.

All of that information is from Fox 32 Chicago, but if you’re interested in a true first-person account of the events, check out footage of two dudes losing their minds over the car chase.

I’ve never seen any two people more excited about seeing a car chase in my entire life. It was like they saw a UFO, the Loch Ness Monster, and Bigfoot all at the same time. I’m now going to call everyone I come in contact with today “dude” or “bro.” Their enthusiasm and surfer lingo is contagious.

Also, I was definitely getting flashbacks to this scene while watching those guys go nuts. Some studio bigwig needs to put our car chase loving bros in a sequel ASAP. It would sweep the Oscars and earn the GDP of Japan.


Stay Woke Conspiracy Theory Of The Day: The Warriors Lost On Purpose

The NBA has long been a league of conspiracies and controversies. Just think about it. There’s the Cold Envelope Theory, in which a frozen envelope in the NBA draft gifted Patrick Ewing to the New York Knicks. There’s Tim Donaghy, the former referee who was shaving points and fixing games. Then, of course, there’s the theory about Jordan’s little trip to baseball: that he was actually caught gambling on games by David Stern and the NBA, so instead of suspending their marquee, face-of-the-league player, they told him to go f*ck around in the minor leagues for a bit.

Well, ladies and gents, last night, the opening night of the 2016 season, the Warriors opened a whole new pandora’s box of conspiracy. And this is because I believe the Warriors lost on purpose last night. Daft? Maybe. Crazy? Sure. Woke AF? Definitely. Let me break it down for you.

What did the Warriors have to gain from winning last night? The Golden State Warriors, at the VERY LEAST, will be the number two seed in the West. In all likelihood, they’re going finish as the West’s top seed, but worst comes to worst, they finish top two. After they’re in the playoffs, they’re all but a lock to make it to the finals. They’ve made it to the finals the last two years, and just added the second-best basketball player in the world. Point being, barring a catastrophic injury, the Warriors path to the finals is a good a bet as there is in sports, and a win on the first night of the season would not change that. A win on opening night brings them nothing.

However, LOSING opening night offered far more benefits. First — you don’t show the Spurs your cards. The last thing you want to do is give Gregg Popovich a blue-print to beating you. Second — it immediately ratchets down the already astronomical expectations. People are expecting them to revolutionize the sport, so a loss on opening night immediately brings them back down to Earth and relieves some of the immense pressure that has already been placed on them. The Warriors went 36-0 last year before losing, and you’re going to tell me on opening night, in their own building, with the best starting five in basketball, that they’re going to get systematically ethered in a 29-point blowout? Not buying it.

So stay woke on this one folks, because the Warriors are scheming on all of us. They’re going to lull us to sleep with a relatively middling first half, then start blowing the doors off people after the All-Star break. After all, the Warriors learned last year how important it is to manage expectations.

The Warriors lost the opening game on purpose. NBA conspiracy theory of the year.

Remember That ‘Face Eating’ Murderer? He Has An Interview With Dr. Phil Set To Air This Week

19-year-old Austin Harrouff, the former FSU student accused of cannibalism, was FINALLY, formally charged on October 3 with two counts of first-degree murder for the horrendous killings of  59-year-old John Stevens and 53-year-old Michelle Mishcon back in August. The reason the arrest took so long was due to the fact that Harrouff remained in a coma for weeks following the murders. However, news is coming from multiple outlets that Harrouff gave a phone interview with Dr. Phil McGraw days before his arrest, which is set to air this Friday.

This comes after Harrouff’s father, Wade Harrouff, gave an interview on Dr. Phil less than two weeks after the night his son was found mutilating the corpse of John Stevens.

John Stevens IV, the son of the murdered John Stevens, is speaking out to the media, calling Harrouff a “monster” (obviously). Via CBS:

“I’ve never seen a black or minority suspect with such an inherent sympathetic spin [as Harrouff is getting],” he said. “They make him seem as sympathetic as possible because he’s privileged and white, and it’s really and really sad.”

“We all live in a time when we’re cynical about media and law enforcement,” he said. “My reaction is general disgust. I really hope people can use their brains and see that [Harrouff] is a monster,” Stevens said.

However, Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told the Palm Beach Post that there was nothing the police could have legally been done to stop Harrouff from giving the interview. Synder explained that even if Harrouff had been arrested at the time, law enforcement cannot bar those charged with a crime from speaking with the media if they wish to do so.

Overall, a truly unbelievable and horrible story has taken yet another bizarre turn. Let’s hope Harrouff’s case gets expedited through the court system so he can be thrown in jail to rot as soon as possible.

The Austin Harrouff interview with Dr. Phil has not yet been made available online, but we will update this post as soon as it is released.

Matthew & Kelly Stafford Dressed As ‘Sandlot’ Characters For Halloween Party

Halloween party season is in full effect, and Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly got into the fun by dressing up as characters from the 1993 classic The Sandlot.

Those are pretty awesome costumes, but I gotta say that I’m a little surprised they went with those two characters. The Sandlot is such a layup for couples, as they can just go as Michael `Squints’ Palledorous and Wendy Peffercorn. That combo is always a crowd-pleaser, and you can easily reenact their timeless mouth-to-mouth scene by pretending to drown while bobbing for apples.

I guess you gotta give them some credit for thinking outside the box, though. Plus, Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez was a goddamn stud and Matthew is playing like a man possessed right now, so it’s a very applicable choice.

These are still my favorite Halloween costumes from the Staffords. Camo has never looked sexier.

I’m thinking that for next year, Kelly and Matthew should go as characters from Space Jam. That girl can shoot the f*cking lights out.

Bob Knight Threw Tampons And Punched Players While Coaching At Indiana

If you’re a college basketball fan, the name Bob Knight might trigger a few different reactions. ‘Legendary coach’ might be the first phrase to come to mind, but I think ‘crazy coach with an insane temper’ might ring more of a bell. I’m sure you’ve seen the footage of Coach Knight throwing a chair on the court after an argument with officials.

However, there are now new stories coming out that prove Knight was a lot more extreme than you might think, especially to his players. In a new book called Jadlow: On the Rebound, former Indiana basketball player Todd Jadlow alleges that Knight was not only emotionally abusive but physically abusive to his players. If this comes to as a surprise to you, then you definitely have never heard of Bob Knight.

Let’s take a look at some of the stuff Coach Knight did, according to Jadlow.

  • Knight made sport of Jadlow’s facial tic in front of the entire team. In the book, former IU teammate Mark Robinson wrote that Knight yelled at Jadlow, “If you don’t stop the (bleeping) twitching, I’m going to throw your ass out of here.”
  • During a practice, Knight forced Dean Garrett and Keith Smart to run hours of sprints while barking like dogs since they were, in his words, “playing like (bleeping) dogs.”
  • Knight punched him in the back of the head with a closed fist during a walkthrough for an NCAA Tournament game against Seton Hall.
  • Knight made a habit, with Jadlow and others, of grabbing players by the testicles and squeezing.
  • Knight continually called Daryl Thomas a “(bleeping) p*****” and once instructed the managers to wallpaper Thomas’ locker with pictures of female genitalia. Knight also liked to throw tampons at Thomas, who took more abuse than anybody on Jadlow’s teams.
  • On the flight home after the 1986 NCAA Tournament loss to Cleveland State, Knight tore up the plane and ultimately grabbed Thomas by the neck and shook him violently.

This is nuts, pun intended. I say that because if Knight were to do this in today’s society of social media, Knight would be fired and thrown in jail in a heartbeat! However, I totally believe Knight did all of this because that’s who he was. He was tough on his players and if you couldn’t take it, you wouldn’t play, plain and simple. The squeezing of people’s balls might be a little too much but making players bark like dogs while running is laugh out loud funny.

You would think Jadlow would hate Knight after all this abuse, right? Wrong. In fact, it’s the total opposite. Even though Jadlow had a tough life after that included alcohol and drug addiction, he actually defends Knight and calls him a father.

“I’m a Knight guy. I’m proud to have played for him and love him like a father; let’s not mistake that,” Jadlow said, per Kravitz. “But this was the life we led when we were playing for him.”

Bob Knight once again proving that tough love can be the answer. The legend lives on.

Last night, Phil Collins went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his singles collection, his memoir, and his upcoming European tour dates. And oh yeah, to bring down the house with an amazing performance of “In the Air Tonight.”

Popping collars and melting faces, Phil Collins is back! The 65-year-old clearly still has a lot left in the tank. I could listen to that drum fill every day for the rest of my life, and it would still make me want to run through a goddamn brick wall. I don’t even know why hospitals shell out all that money for defibrillators. All they have to do is cue up that drum fill and patients will sit right up like they’re the f*cking Undertaker.

Collins also debunked the ridiculous myth that “In the Air Tonight” is about Collins witnessing someone let a man drown.

This UW-Madison Student Has Been Accused Of Being A Serial Rapist

Alec Cook Wisconsin Student

Alec Cook, a 20-year-old University of Wisconsin student, has been accused of multiple, serial sexual assaults on campus. Earlier this October, a student at Wisconsin told police that Cook had forced himself on her. Following that accusation, at least three other female students have come forward accusing Cook of also sexually assaulting them.

As more and more news comes out about Cook and his habits, it’s becoming more and more clear that there’s something very dangerous about Alec Cook.


Who Is Alec Cook?

Alec Cook was a 20-year-old senior at The University of Wisconsin who was majoring in real estate and urban land economics. He was recently placed on emergency suspension by the school after a third alleged victim came forward about his assault. A statement from the school reads “This is a serious case and the university is responding. 

Based on the severity of the allegations and the potential impact on the campus community, the university is disclosing that this student is under emergency suspension from the institution.”

Cook is currently under on charges of second-degree sexual assault, strangulation, and false imprisonment. If new evidence is to be believed, there is good chance he could face more charges from other victims.


What Happened?

The first victim, the one who initially told police, reported that she and Cook first met after she almost hit him with her bicycle. The two then kept in contact over Facebook, and eventually met up in the library to study. After leaving for his apartment around 11:30 P.M., the woman told police that the two started talking and that she told Cook she was looking for a long-term relationship, not casual sex. The report continues to say that Cook responded by telling her that they wouldn’t do anything too crazy, and that he kept forcing himself on her despite her repeated attempts to get him to stop. She also claims that Cook refused to let her leave.

When she got home, she texted her brother and said Cook held her in a “death grip,” preventing her from seeking help. “I don’t feel like I was assaulted…I don’t think. But I feel very weird,” she wrote, according to the Journal [source].

The victim told police four days after the alleged assault, Cook was subsequently arrested and then released on signature bond two days later. But after news of his first arrest hit the news, another victim came forward because she felt empowered by another girl telling her story. Cook turned himself into the police after the second accusation.

One day after Cook turned himself in, a third victim came forward, saying that Cook had raped her in his apartment last year.

Police searched Cook’s home after his arrest and found some pretty alarming evidence. Inside his apartment, they found a little black book which had some pretty f*cked up stuff written inside it. From WKOW:

Court records show a black leather book was seized by police from Cook’s apartment last week. The search warrant affidavit states a series of women’s names were inside the book.

“Each entry showed how he met the female, and what he liked about them.  Further entries went on to document what he wanted to do with the females,”  the affidavit states.

“Disturbingly enough there were statements of ‘kill’ and statements of ‘sexual’ desires,” the affidavit states.

The seizure of notebooks from Cook and their reference to potential sexual assault or stalking victims was first reported Monday by 27 News.

So not only was this guy listing victims and what he wanted to do with them, it also gave some ways he liked to stalk some of the girls. Yes, this man is innocent until proven guilty but things aren’t looking so promising for the 20-year-old.

Welp, It’s Here: Scientists Think They Have Received A Message From Aliens

If you don’t believe in aliens, I’m willing to bet you’re a Donald Trump supporter. Just a feeling I have. Anyway, aliens are real AF and it’s only a matter of time before they take a nice squat over Earth and shit all over us.  Well, apparently we may be closer than ever. Determined to not let the Presidential Election be the only thing scaring the crap out of us, scientists out of Canada say they more or less have received messages from aliens.

Via The Independent:

A new analysis of strange modulations in a tiny set of stars appears to indicate that it could be coming from extraterrestrial intelligence that is looking to alert us to their existence.

The new study reports the finding of specific modulations in just 234 out of the 2.5 million stars that have been observed during a survey of the sky. The work found that a tiny fraction of them seemed to be behaving strangely.

EF Borra and E Trottier, two scientists from Laval University in Quebec, wrote:

“We find that the detected signals have exactly the shape of an [extraterrestrial intelligence] signal predicted in the previous publication and are therefore in agreement with this hypothesis. The fact that they are only found in a very small fraction of stars within a narrow spectral range centered near the spectral type of the sun is also in agreement with the ETI hypothesis.”

And now, an obligatory alien guy meme:

Yesterday, professional golfer Paige Spiranac posted a video on Instagram of her making an incredible trick shot. It was such an impressive shot that even Paige herself was surprised that she was able to pull it off.

Wow, that was pretty damn cool. I haven’t seen a golfer play a ricochet so effectively since Happy Gilmore went off a television tower to win the 1996 Tour Championship. If I attempted that shot, I would’ve taken a monster divot out of the carpet and peppered shitty low line drives all over the place. That cup of water would evaporate into thin air before I’d come through.

But enough about my horrendous golf game, check out our best Paige Spiranac coverage in the links below, as it’s impossible to watch just one Instagram video of the 23-year-old and call it a day.

Cleveland Getting Cocky AF, Cavs Rings Include A Reminder That The Warriors Blew A 3-1 Lead

Okayyyy, Cleveland. Okayyyyy, let’s take it easyyy. You won A SINGLE championship for the first time in God knows how long. And it was because of the chokejob Warriors. If anything, you should be hanging a Warriors banner in your arena.

I have and will continue to root for Cleveland. As a noted Mets and Jets fan, I have experienced my share of sporting pain, so I totally feel for a city that deals with the magnitude of heartbreak that Cleveland has. You think the Chicago Cubs’ fans have it bad because it’s been so long? Guess what. Those same fans could easily root for the White Sox if they wanted. They’re just stubborn. Cleveland has ONE baseball team, ONE basketball team, and ONE CFL NFL team. They don’t have any other options — what they got is what they got.

Now, I get that Cleveland is hyped AF these days. Good for them. The Cavs are maybe the most likable team in the NBA and the Indians are in the World Series. But I feel as though getting too cocky right after their first ring could grow into some sort of curse.

All I’m saying is that Cleveland should be careful. Don’t want to re-piss off whatever god they pissed off all those decades ago.

Georgia + Florida Actively Trying To Change The Name of The Game From “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party”

WLOCP River City Showdown

These guys know the deal.

Both the University of Georgia and the University of Florida are trying to change the unofficial name of their rivalry game from “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” to “The River City Showdown.” It’s a sign that we as a country are getting weaker and weaker. Although neither school has actually come out against the name officially recently, it seems that UGA & UF are trying to bury everyone’s favorite rivalry game name by promoting the new name everywhere they can.

SaturdayDownSouth found River City Showdown t-shirts available on both school’s sites (Florida | UGA).

“River City Showdown” sounds like something a local volleyball tournament would host, doesn’t it? Well, that’s because they do. Austin Performance Volleyball hosts a massive tournament with the same name. So does the Savannah Disc Golf Club.

Besides, the River City Showdown has already been decided when this guy crushed red shirt in a dance off.

We’re far from the only ones who want the name change dropped. A bazillion people have been sounding off on social media.

You’re really going to tell these guys that it’s The River City Showdown and get away with it?

You Want To Read These Stories Of Marshawn Lynch Being An Excellent Person

Even after retirement, the legend of Marshawn Lynch continues to grow. In an excellent Seattle Times piece, Jayson Jenks interviewed a handful of Seahawks players about their memories of Marshawn Lynch. They are fittingly glorious.

There’s the story of Jon Ryan, the punter, who shyly introduced his mother to Lynch after he had a poor game. Lynch ended up talking to Ryan’s mom for a half hour. Defensive end Cliff Avril spoke about how Lynch has been to both trips that his foundation has taken to Haiti to build a school. Linebacker Bobby Wagner told a story of Lynch’s tutelage from his rookie year. Center Justin Britt says Lynch is always at his daughter’s birthday parties.

However, the most emotional story comes from retired receiver Ricardo Lockette, who was nearly paralyzed in a game against Dallas.

Here’s Earl Lockette Sr., Ricardo’s father, retelling of the harrowing time, via the Seattle Times:

“A nurse comes up and says, ‘We don’t know much about football, Mr. Lockette, but there’s a guy outside who says he needs to be in here. He says he plays with Ricardo, and his name is Marshawn Lynch.’

What Ricardo didn’t know is that Marshawn peeked in the room and saw he was in there, in the bed, strapped down, couldn’t move, and he cried like a baby. Marshawn did. I won’t tell you everything he did, but he took a couple steps back and soaked those tears up, and he went in there and made my son feel like he could run and jump.

And then on top of that, we didn’t know nothing about nothing. He asked us, ‘How long are you guys going to be here?’ We said, ‘We don’t know. Until he gets up and walks again, we’re not leaving.’ He said” ‘I’ve got you guys. You don’t have to worry about anything.’ When I say he meant that, he really did. He took care of us for a period of time to make sure we didn’t have to worry about getting places, transportation, anything. He did that.”

And of course, Ricardo’s own version:

Lynch made Lockette laugh so hard that Lockette eventually told him: “Bro, you’re going to kill me! I haven’t had surgery yet.”

“He just told me, ‘Don’t be in here crying,’” Lockette said. “’Don’t be doing all that crying because Beast Mode don’t cry, and if you cry, I’m going to cry.’ I can visually picture that. I enjoyed that.”]

Marshawn Lynch is nearly mythological at this point.

Hell In a Cell predictions

The Superstars of WWE’s Monday Night Raw returns to the Sunday night spectacle with a huge event showcasing three “Hell in a Cell” contests. This will be a hellish night during which history will be made, no matter the outcome, as Sasha Banks will defend her Raw Women’s Championship against Charlotte in the first time a female performer has ever competed in a Hell in a Cell match.

Kevin Owens is also in the fight of his life as he puts his WWE Universal Championship up for grabs against the ravenous architect Seth Rollins, who is starving for another chance to hold the gold (or in this case, the big red strap). For a night of firsts, this is also the very first time the United States Championship will be defended inside the devil’s playground, as Roman Reigns puts his newly won championship on the line against the former champion “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev. Hell in a Cell is sure to deliver spine-chilling stunts on a night right before Halloween. The kickoff show begins at 7:00 P.M. (EST) and can be accessed for free on YouTube, while the pay-per-view starts an hour later. WWE welcomes you to a night of utter mayhem with a triple-header main event.

Here’s a full preview of the hellish event, with predictions and in-depth analysis.

Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship inside Hell in a Cell

hell-in-a-cage-predictions

The ladies get top billing tonight! Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte is rumored to close tonight’s event, which is completely huge for both women’s wrestling and WWE’s Women’s Revolution, which picked up steam in the summer of 2015 with the arrival of these two powerful technicians of the squared circle looking to change the game of women’s wrestling forever. And tonight will be the next chapter in this saga, not just for both women in the cell, but for the entire the division. But who will make it out on top this round?

Charlotte is one of the most dominant wrestlers of the New Era. At first, people doubted her because she relied too much on her father’s name and presence at ringside, but since she turned her back on “The Nature Boy,” she’s broke out on her own and became the absolute powerhouse of the Raw championship scene all alone. But Sasha just won’t let Charlotte hog all the spotlight. “The Boss” Sasha has really shown why she is The Rock to Charlotte’s Stone Cold Steve Austin; they are rivals of epic proportions facing off under the bright lights. But Rock and Austin never faced in a Hell in a Cell, but Charlotte and Sasha will!

But if I were to choose who is more likely to come out on top, I’d have to go with “The Boss” Sasha Banks. She has the presence of an in-ring veteran, both in charisma and in-ring performance. Both competitors are already on their way to a Hall of Fame quality career. But Charlotte really shined the most in 2015 and much of 2016. Now, it’s Sasha’s time to shine, as she needs to build herself up further to reach her full potential, to become legendary. And tonight, both will go down in professional wrestling history!

Prediction: Sasha Banks retains the Raw Women’s Championship after defeating Charlotte


Kevin Owens (c) vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship inside Hell in a Cell

hell-in-a-cage-predictions4

“This is the Kevin Owens Show, haven’t ya heard?!” Yeah, well, you’re forgetting Seth Rollins, a performer who has forcefully retired an icon, who broke John Cena’s nose, who has been standing atop the WWE’s main event scene for almost two years. Sorry, Big Kev, but it’s not all about you. I hope Y2J doesn’t put me on the list for saying this. But Kevin Owens will be taken to the limit inside this tall, steel structure of hell and pain. And Seth Rollins knows more than anybody on the WWE roster how to dish out the destruction. But who will win between the universal titans of the New Era?

Kevin Owens is an in-ring general, a juggernaut in the squared circle, with an intense offensive style that leaves such opponents shaken and sometimes broken. Owens certainly has “it.” Hopefully, Chris Jericho can take me off the list by now. I don’t belong there!

But Seth Rollins has been there; inside the devil’s playground, inside the demonic structure that is Hell in a Cell. Rollins defeated his former Shield brethren Dean Ambrose in the 2014 edition of Hell in a Cell. By the very skin of his teeth, Rollins can pick up a victory and he may pick one up this Sunday against Kevin Owens. But will he really? I don’t think so. Owens hasn’t been a champion for long and losing so soon to Seth Rollins will only hurt his credibility and Raw’s main event scene (which would be hurt the most). Raw needs a dominant bad guy that has a crossover appeal that makes people both cheer and boo. And his interactions with Y2J are just golden. WWE needs to keep the title on his for as long as possible, plus a potential feud between him and his best friend Chris Jericho wouldn’t have the appeal or drama without the big red belt on the line (along with their friendship). Don’t be surprised to see Jericho interfere in tonight’s contest in some fashion (with or without his $750 yak hair scarf). Without a doubt, Big Kev will make it out of this one as the top dog on the Raw brand

Prediction: Kevin Owens retains the WWE Universal Championship after defeating Seth Rollins


Roman Reigns (c) vs. Rusev for the WWE United States Championship inside Hell in a Cell

hell-in-a-cage-predictions5

Hey, WWE smarks, remember when people online were complaining about how WWE’s poor booking of the mid card division has made the U.S. Championship irrelevant? Well, look now, that same irrelevant championship is up for grabs inside a Hell in a Cell match. What do you have to say about that, smarty pants? Looks like the mid card scene has rebounded, not just on Raw, but on SmackDown too with The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. WWE is trying to build up their brands after the WWE Draft, and they know the glue that keeps each brand together is a solid mid card scene with performers chomping at the bit to reach main event status. So now, we have reluctant anti-hero Roman Reigns putting up his newly won U.S. Championship against the likes of “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev in what is sure to be a hellish showdown.

But who will make it out of this one with the U.S. gold? This will be a close contest with several near falls and expect Lana to interfere by throwing Rusev a weapon. But Rusev’s brute strength should be enough to subdue Reigns for much of the match. But Reigns won’t be pushed around for too long in the match and is sure to make a dominating comeback in the middle and towards the end. But will that be enough to conquer the Bulgarian strongman?

Raw needs to keep a strong mid card, and if they get the title off of Reigns this early, it’ll hurt the division. There isn’t much depth to the mid card division, but those at the top are stars who are fingertips away from the main event scene. Reigns seems to be an obvious choice as a challenger for Kevin Owens’ Universal Championship in the future, but in the past, he belongs in the mid card scene. Rusev also looks primed to a main event quality feud, and can pull off a feud with Seth Rollins and could potentially turn into a beloved baby-face (good guy) against the cunning Kevin Owens.

Prediction: Roman Reigns retains the WWE United States Championship after defeating Rusev inside Hell in a Cell


T.J. Perkins (c) vs. Brian Kendrick for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

hell-in-a-cage-predictions3

Now, it’s time to take a peek at the high-flying action of WWE’s cruiserweight division! Expect a showcase of aerial magnificence and in-ring drama. Brian Kendrick is a desperate man, and desperate times often call for desperate measures (I know I heard that saying somewhere). But will the younger T.J. Perkins be able to stop the wily veteran in Brian Kendrick? Or will Kendrick show that experience trumps flash, as a lifetime in the ring bests a lifetime trying to fly.

But who will walk away with the Cruiserweight gold? Who will walk away with the big purple strap? T.J. Perkins has just been champion for six weeks, so wouldn’t him losing the belt so soon hurt both him and the division? My answer is no. The cruiserweight division is awesome and all, but it’s starting to become an afterthought compared with the other divisions on the Raw brand. And Brian Kendrick is loaded with charisma and you can just feel how much this guy wants to win. Expect Kendricks and Perkins to trade title wins before the end of the year. This will help keep people interested with the cruiserweight concept and give them more of a reason to be invested in those matches.

Prediction: Brian Kendrick defeats T.J. Perkins to win the WWE Crusierweight Championship
