The Giants had their early season struggles, suffering a three-game losing streak. However, they have since been able to turn it around, and are now riding a three-game winning streak.while the Bengals are coming off a bye week. Prior to the bye, the Bengals TIED the Redskins in London.

On the other hand, the Bengals are 3-4-1 and are coming off a bye week. Prior to the bye, the Bengals TIED the Redskins in London. Despite being one of three teams to rank in the top 10 in both passing and rushing yards per game, the Bengals record does not show it.

WATCH: Guy Uses Drone To Catch His Wife Cheating On Him

Man Catches Wife Cheating With Drone

Drones are quickly making their way to the top of my wish list. I don’t even do anything crazy or wild worth recording, but I just feel like there’s going to be a time in my life where I really need one. One example is if I ever start to think that my fiancee is cheating on me. That sounds like a pretty good time to have an eye in the sky, no?

Yeah, it’s a $1000 investment up front, but if you actually were to find out that your wife is cheating on you, you’ll probably end up saving thousands in a divorce settlement. Hopefully this guy, whose wife is cheating on him with a dude who drives a minivan and hides at a CVS parking lot, recoups some of his investment.

The original uploader hasn’t added much to the story other than what you hear in the video, but two years ago he did post to reddit a question about what you should do if you suspect that your wife’s cheating on you. So it’s safe to say that this guy wasn’t totally taken by surprise–which might explain why he owned the drone in the first place–but that doesn’t make it much easier.

The only thing I’d do to make this video go more viral would have been to drop the drone lower after he caught these two, just to let them know that they’re busted.

Cris Collinsworth Eviscerated Bill Simmons On Twitter

During last night’s thrilling contest between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, Boston native Bill Simmons took a jab at Cris Collinsworth.

The Sunday Night Football analyst was not amused, as Collinsworth came back with a vicious clapback. He would quickly delete his tweet, but thankfully, Deadspin grabbed a screenshot of it. I guess he was worried about getting arrested for murdering a man in cold blood for all of Twitter to see.

Deadspin

Deadspin

Check and mate. There is no coming back from that one. That was a masterful counterattack by Collinsworth after some real careless behavior from Simmons. Sending out snarky tweets about TV personalities is pretty much the last thing you want to do when your own TV show just got cancelled. You shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house because Cris Collinsworth will throw a goddamn boulder through it.

Unsurprisingly, the internet had a blast dancing on the grave of Simmons. Here are a few of my favorite jokes at Simmons’ expense.

What’s Going On With Dan Le Batard And That Absurd Neck Brace / Sunburn?

Dan Le Batard Neck Brace Injury

Those of you who’ve been watching Dan Le Batard recently might have noticed that things aren’t looking so good for the Miami sports radio host, namely that he’s wearing a serious neck brace and has some bad sunburn. One concerned fan reached out to Dan on Twitter to ask him if things were alright, to which Dan responded that he had “lost control of his motorcycle.”

Except, that’s not what happened. Dan’s actually fine, it looks like he just picked the NY Jets -2, whereas his coworker Jon “Stugotz” Weiner did not. Because Dan lost, he showed up in a Bobby Petrino outfit, circa whenever that idiot got into a motorcycle accident.

There’s no other way to describe these three tweets back to to back to back.

Brendan Dassey Of ‘Making a Murderer’ Is A Free Man (At Least For Now)

Brendan Dassey is a free man.

A federal judge ruled today that Dassey, whose case was profiled in the Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, should be freed from prison while Wisconsin appeals a ruling overturning his conviction. Dassey was previously one of the two men found guilty in 2007 in the sexual assault and killing of photographer Teresa Halbach, along with his uncle Steven Avery.

From the New York Times report:

It was not immediately clear when Mr. Dassey would be released, but the ruling by Judge Duffin concluded that he posed little flight risk or danger to others. The authorities have “failed to demonstrate that Dassey represents a present danger to the community,” the ruling read.

If Dassey is free by this weekend, somebody needs to buy the devout WWE fan a ticket to Sunday’s Survivor Series. I know his dream is to go to WrestleMania, but who knows what will have happened to Dassey by April.

Meanwhile, Dassey’s uncle Steven Avery also got some good news today. The motion to carry out DNA tests on the evidence in his case, which was filed by his attorney Kathleen Zellner’s in August, has now been approved.

Daniel G. Campbell- a 39-year-old Missouri man accused of murder- has escaped from the Texas County Jail in southern Missouri,  according to the Houston Herald, who cites Texas County Sheriff James Sigman.

Campbell left from the rear of the jail and was last seen there just before 6 p.m. CST on Monday. He was wearing an orange-and-white jail-issued uniform and was shoeless.

 

At 7:30 p.m. CST, authorities told the Houston Herald there was a confirmed sighting of Campbell east of Houston on Brushy Creek Drive.

Via the Houston Herald:

Sigman said residents in the area should take action to immediately remove keys from vehicles and secure their homes. A perimeter has been established around the Texas County Justice Center area, he said. A temporary command post is established at Mineral Drive and Forrest Street. Officers from the Houston Police Department, Texas County Sheriff’s Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol are present.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol have deployed a helicopter and additional men onto the scene.


Who is Daniel G. Campbell

Daniel G. Campbell is charged with first-degree murder of  and armed criminal action stemming from a shooting on October 25th  that killed Billy Bishop II, 38, and left William Dumboski, 55, seriously injured. The shooting took place on Boiling Springs Road in the Mark Twain National Forest, southwest of the rural town of Licking, Missouri.

Campbell had led the police on a 70-hour manhunt before his arrest.

He was being held in Texas County Jail without bond.

A Licking man named Robert Lane, 38, had been arraigned for allegedly assisting Campbell after the shooting took place on Lane’s property. Campbell’s getaway vehicle was registered to Lane, and a duffle bag of Campbell’s clothing and an alleged note from Campbell to Lane were found by the police at Lane’s residence. The note, which had instructions to burn it, stated Campbell was going to Montana.

I’m of the opinion Emily Ratajkowski is the most attractive woman I’ve ever seen. I’m sure there are far more beautiful women out there, but I haven’t seen ’em, so the crown goes to Em Rata. Plus, she’s super about body positivity and all that (and when you look like she does, how can you not be?), so luckily for us there’s never a shortage of Ratajkowski wearing next to nothing.

At this point, if you aren’t following her on Instagram, just straight up quit social media. You clearly have no idea how to properly use it and therefore do not deserve it. But if you do follow Emily on Instagram or any  other form of social media, then you’ve long been woke to the fact that she’s dropping straight fire like this all the time.

‘Pokemon Sun and Moon’ Review: Must-See Details & Screenshots

Pokemon Sun and Moon

Hoping to cash in on the Pokémon Go craze, Nintendo is rolling out its latest pair of 3DS games. The hope is that lapsed players will jump back in and pay $40 a pop for something they’ve been getting for free on their smartphones. Nintendo and developer Game Freak aren’t content to regurgitate what has worked in the past. While the team does trot out its well-worn formula, it shakes things up by adding several appealing new tweaks. The “Gotta catch ’em all” mentality applies not only to the new games, but to the company’s strategy to capture its legion of new and lapsed fans of the franchise.

Games: Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon
Consoles: 3DS (reviewed)
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Game Freak
Release Date: November 18

Pokémon has always thrived on appealing to kids, and both Sun and Moon take the same track. Cutesy visuals and whimsically-named creatures populate the sickly sweet realm of the game’s setting, the Hawaii-inspired Alola Region. Also as you’d expect, your task is to seek out, capture and train all the pocket monsters you can dig up, with the goal of becoming the society’s most renowned trainer. The welcome changes come from perspective and traversal. The perspective shifts from the traditional overhead view to behind-the-trainer third person perspective, and fast travel is available via the Pokémon Ride apparatus. These nods to modern gaming conventions make the new games feel more like current RPGs, while retaining the art style and feel that Pokémon has always thrived on.

After typing in your name and choosing your avatar, you roam around to get acquainted with the island paradise, meeting twerpy would-be friends and rivals as you get a feel for the environment. You also hook up with partner Pokémon who serve as your sidekicks, helping you out with travel and training as you rack up and manage your roster. Battles are typical rock-paper-scissors affairs, tasking you to learn the strengths and weaknesses of various classes to maximize your chances. Those skills serve you well in multiplayer, which can accommodate up to four players.

As is usually the case with Nintendo’s ingenious and somewhat devious marketing strategy, both games are mildly altered mirrors of one another. You’ll need both games to unlock and explore all the content that both have. That urge to fuel the mildly OCD need to collect everything plays into the mentality of the typical Pokémon fiend, and the company is counting on that to squeeze $80 from every serious player. Tons of new creatures are out there for the capture, including Rowlet, Litten and Popplio, as well as Legendary Pokemon Solgaleo and Lunala. If you’re more of a tourist who won’t take much pleasure in capturing the rarest creatures, you won’t miss much by springing for just one of the games and calling it a day.

It’s no surprise to anyone who has tracked the evolution of the series that Pokémon Sun and Moon are the fullest-featured, deepest and most accessible games in the series to date. The mentality of Game Freak has always been to build upon what has come before to evolve the series in the same way the creatures do, blossoming with new abilities and dimensions. For many 3DS players, Pokémon games are the primary reasons they still tote their systems around. For proud Pokémon nerds, the release of the new games is a cause for celebration, and these true believers won’t be disappointed by the spirited effort Nintendo put forth here. If the thought of coughing up $80 for a pair of handheld games makes you scoff, there is little here to convince you to do so. Those players shouldn’t stare up at Sun and Moon and should keep their eyes squarely focused down at Go.

Pokemon Sun and Moon Reviews Around The Web:

“From the off it’s clear that here’s been a tremendous level of effort from Game Freak to make Pokémon Sun and Moon another notable evolution of the Pokémon series.” –Nintendo Life

“The most interesting thing about my hands-on time with Sun & Moon is that it clearly stands a chance of being the best and most exciting slice of Pokemon this year.” –VG24/7

“The animated visuals may have dramatically improved and you can’t get Charmander as a Pokémon anymore, but pretty much every facet of what made this franchise a success is still here.” –Stuff

Seven Sorority Chicks Arrested For Forcing Pledges To Eat Garbage And Mud

Who said sororities don’t haze? Cause these seven chicks going wayyyyyy too hard. As someone who was hazed relatively brutally in college, I’ll tell you one thing: I never had to eat any garbage. Did I have to eat some nasty shit? Sure. But something straight out of the garbage? Hell no.

According to CBS, a noise complaint led to the arrest of seven University of Albany students for hazing. Local police said they arrived at an off-campus sorority house and found four young women being forced to eat mud and garbage. Which, by the way, is not only gross but a flat-out lazy hazing tactic. Everyone knows that the best kind of hazing is mental, and if you’re going to make ’em do something gross, you save it for Hell Week. Amateurs.

Sorority members were also accused of pouring “foul-smelling” liquids onto the pledges. One student, who didn’t want to be identified, said she dropped out of the pledging process early on because of the abuse. Can’t really say I blame her either, this sorority sounds gross as hell.

Via CBS:

“They would say like ‘you’re worthless,’ or ‘you’re a stupid (expletive).’ Some of us got stepped on and they’re all wearing heels,” she said.

Seven women, ages 19 to 21 years old, were arrested.

“Hazing is not only dangerous, it’s against the law,” Albany Police Officer Steve Smith said.

A spokesperson for the University of Albany said the sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, is not even recognized by the University.

So, there we have it, for the naive out there who think sororities don’t haze, here’s your proof.

Abilene Christian Black Face

A white teenager at Abilene Christian University has been expelled after multiple students leaked Snapchat footage of the teenager in blackface. Officials at Abilene were notified almost immediately after the leaked footage appeared on Twitter and Facebook.

The video, which was captioned “why black lives matter exists,” features the white girl turning to the camera wearing black face paint and massive red lips. At first, she has the fake lips in, but when she realizes she can’t speak, she takes them out and says “I’m a strong black woman.”

There’s a copy of the video below.

I Know A Guy Wanted For Murder And Now The Entire Stoner Community Wants Him Dead

WILD story here, so settle in. A couple days ago, my buddy texts our group chat with a link. The link led us to an offical press release from the Mendocino County Sheriffs Office, saying that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Zachary Wuester. According to CBS, sheriff’s officials obtained an arrest warrant for the 24-year-old Haskell, New Jersey man, because detectives believe he is the main suspect in the killing of a California man. Now here’s the kicker: I know Zachary Wuester.

Let me be clear: I KNOW him, he is NOT my friend. He is a hometown buddy of one of my college friends. We’ve met, had a couple cigarettes, and nothing beyond that. Last I heard of him, he had an addiction to Ketamine and had fled New Jersey after getting popped with a bunch of drug charges. Can’t legitimately confirm any of this, just what I’ve heard through the grape vine. Point being, this kid’s been on a downward spiral for a couple of years now, but I never thought it would end this tragically.

Via CBS:

A San Francisco Bay Area man was found dead Thursday afternoon in Mendocino County and the county’s sheriff’s deputies are seeking five suspects who are at large.

Deputies responded at 3:39 P.M. to a report of a man who had been allegedly killed on a remote property off North U.S.  Highway 101 in Laytonville

Sheriff’s officials said deputies confirmed that a man had died in a violent assault and identified the man as 35-year-old Bethel Island resident Jeffrey Quinn Settler. Settler was allegedly growing marijuana for sale, which had nothing to do with medical uses, sheriff’s officials said.

Deputies said the killing unfolded early Thursday morning when multiple suspects who Settler had hired as marijuana trimmers came to the property to rob Settler of some processed marijuana.

Settler slept in the same structure where he stored the processed marijuana and the suspects knew this, according to sheriff’s officials. The suspects entered the structure and assaulted Settler so violently that he died.

Wild shit, am I right? Welp, the story gets just a little more bizarre. Turns out, word spread through some online stoner forum, and now smokers across the country are coming out in droves to threaten him in the comment section of his Instagram (P.S. check out these Instagram handles leaving the comments, pure gold):

The story still needs to take one final turn. Just this morning, one of my buddies posted the following photo in our group chat. Apparently, Wuester is still posting to social media. Probably not the best idea when there is a warrant out for your arrest:

So, yeah, overall a tragic, disgusting, weird story that will probably only get uglier and more bizarre.

Did Jordan Just Drop The First Teaser For Space Jam 2?

Woah. This came out of nowhere. My first reaction that this was the first teaser for a possible upcoming Space Jam 2, and let it be known, I WAS HYPED. Space Jam is a staple for all ’90s babies. And in all seriousness, it may be the perfect movie: you have Michael Jordan, the Looney Tunes, Newman from Seinfeld, and of course, Bill Murray. Speculation about LeBron James-starring Space Jam 2 has been running rampant for years now, so I figured Nike had finally decided to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

The teaser is simply announcing a new sneaker to honor the 20th anniversary of the original movie. Dope? Yes, very. But as dope as a Space Jam 2 teaser would have been? Not even close.

Via USA Today, Whitney Chapman, vice president and general manager of categories for Jordan Brand, provided a further explanation:

“We’re really excited to actually tell this story about how the Monstars are coming back, and they’re coming back with a vengeance. They’re really pissed that they lost the game, and they’re here to wreak havoc on the game of basketball. Lots of propaganda going on and trying to have everyone to comply with this idea of their soulless game. This marketing campaign that’ll go global, the story’s really going to unfold around that, and then you’ll have to wait to see what happens on how this new basketballer that’s here today actually rises up to defy the odds of getting after the Monstars.”

Columbia Suspends Wrestling Team For Season After Emails Leaked

Last week, we reported on the Columbia University wrestling team and the series of racist/inappropriate emails that had been leaked to the student newspaper, BWOG. According to the newspaper, the emails and texts sent by the wrestlers had been going on since 2014 and contained jokes about minorities and women.

Everyone aware of the story knew that it was just a matter of time before the Columbia administration dropped the hammer, especially because this story followed so closely behind the Harvard men’s soccer email scandal that was nearly identical. In the case of the Harvard men’s soccer team, the school canceled the rest of their season, even though Harvard was at the number one spot in their conference and had a real opportunity to make waves in the NCAA Tournament.

Today, we learned that not only were the circumstances similar but that the punishment was similar also. Columbia University has canceled the rest of the wrestling season.

Odell Beckham Jr’s Pregame Dance Was Absolutely Electric

Odell Beckham Jr. has had a lot to celebrate these past couple of weeks. First of all, the Giants increased their win streak to four games last night after their 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. During those four games, OBJ has been on a different planet in terms of playing ability. Beckham has 27 catches for 414 yards and five touchdowns. In other words, Beckham is having fun again and is also playing like the best receiver in the NFL.

Besides his play on the field, Beckham is also known for his dances and celebrations. Between his antics with the kicking net to his end zone dances, the star wide receiver loves to celebrate. Last night, Beckham took his dancing to another level before the game even started. Watch the video below that was taken at Metlife Stadium.

Live look at me:

I think Beckham pulled out every dance move possible for those 44 seconds. When OBJ gets in the zone, there is no stopping him. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, after Beckham scored last night, he decided to do his best Michael Jackson impersonation and bust out the “Thriller” dance.

Say what you want about Odell Beckham. At times, he can be a thorn in your side because he’s unpredictable and can lose his head at any second. That being said, when Beckham is on, no one in the NFL can stop him. If OBJ continues to play at a high level and wants to dance, I say dance the night away.

I think that everybody has their own snow routines. Some people like to go skiing or snowboarding, while others enjoy curling up by the fireplace with a good book. But then there’s others like 51-year-old Tor Eckhoff of Vestfold County in Norway, who love to run around in the snow in their underwear and chug vodka. Different strokes for different folks.

Eckhoff celebrates the first snowfall of the year by putting up a video to YouTube of him acting a damn fool in the fresh power. This is volume three of Eckhoff’s wild tradition.

Jesus, I’m practically shivering from just watching that. The whole bathtub thing was especially tough to watch too. I think my penis retreated back into my body like a turtle’s head going back into its shell at the mere thought of getting into that frigid water. If Eckhoff’s not careful, he’s going to get frostbite worse than Deeds had.

The majority of Eckhoff’s YouTube account is just him doing crazy sh*t in the snow. You can check out all of his videos here and below are the previous editions of “The First Snow.”


Taco Bell Needs To Get The F*ck Out Of Here With This ‘Taco Bell Cantina’ On The Las Vegas Strip

There are few people who hate on Taco Bell harder than your boy right here. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that edible meat can cost only 79 cents. I literally cannot wrap my brain around it. Ever hear of a profit margin? Right, so, if Taco Bell is selling it to us for 79 cents, what do you think it costs them to make it? 25 cents? Maybe 30? Point being, no human should be eating MEAT that is that cheap. It just isn’t right. Which is EXACTLY why Taco Bell needs to cool their jets and get the f*ck out of our faces with this ‘Taco Bell Cantina’ bullshit. You can’t simultaneously be the dudes slinging barely edible meat, and then turn around and start getting all bougie on us. Stay in your lane TACO BELL, and leave the Chipotle-ing to the Qdobas and Moe’s of the world.

Via Fortune:

Taco Bell just opened a new Taco Bell Cantina restaurant on the Las Vegas strip.

According to Business Insider, it is the fourth such eatery Taco Bell has opened and features not only a more upscale menu, but also a completely redesigned interior. Unique to the Las Vegas branch is a retail store where diners can buy merchandise from bags to bikinis.

The menu features tapas-style sharing plates of nachos, quesadillas, and chicken fingers alongside a wide-range of customizable slushies from the restaurant’s “Freeze Wall.” Guests can choose flavors like margarita, piña colada, or berry blast and later decide to add liquor, ranging from tequila to spiced rum.

According to food blog, Eater Las Vegas, not only does the restaurant feature a sleek modern design—but guests can order from portable tablets, reducing wait times.

The restaurant also features a deejay area, a VIP lounge, and custom artwork.

The new chain of Taco Bell Cantinas are said to focus on urban environments, with a focus on digitization of their services and a localization of their interiors. Otherwise known as bougie WASP neighborhoods. Taco Bell needs to quit trying to fool everyone with their light fixtures and stainless steel and remember they are the people who created a Doritos taco and a taco shell made out of fried chicken. They are f*cking gross, and people love their grossness, so they need to go back to embracing it. F*cking Taco Bell.

Luckily For The Giants, Landon Collins Has Arrived

Landon Collins New York Giants

I’ve spent way too much time writing about how good the Cowboys have been this year, and as a Giants fan that has been torture. Today I’m going to take a break from talking about those assholes and write about the RED HOT New York Football Giants and their revitalized defensive unit led by second-year safety Landon Collins.

Collins fell to the Giants in the second-round of the 2015 NFL Draft, which seemed like a steal initially because many analysts viewed him as a first-round pick. Although he led the team in tackles last year with 112, Collins had his struggles in pass coverage, and couldn’t hold on to an interception to save his life (Example: the nightmare of last season’s Patriots game). Although Collins showed some promise, there was also a lot he had to improve on in his game.

Fast forward to the 2016 season. Collins showed up to training camp 12 pounds lighter after he stopped eating Oreos and worked on his ball skills during the offseason. It also helped that the Giants spent a boatload of money on defensive players to help improve a unit that finished dead last in the league last year. It looked as if things were going to start looking up for the young safety.

After winning their first two games, the Giants dropped three in a row, and all that money they spent on improving their defense was looking like a pretty terrible investment (except for Janoris Jenkins). The Giants got back on track with a gutsy win against the Ravens and then had to travel across the pond to play the Rams in one of those shitty London games. Little did I know, Landon Collins was about to have himself a coming out party.

I’m well aware that the Rams stink but playing a crappy team is a great way to get your defense back on track. In what was a pretty awful game, like every London game, Collins was tied for the team lead in tackles with eight, and also tacked on two interceptions, including a dazzling return for his first career touchdown. It may have been a win against the team with the worst offense in the NFL, but I’ll never apologize for a win, and neither will the Giants.

Since then, the G-Men have gone on to win two more games, including one against their division rival Philadelphia, and are currently in the midst of a four-game winning streak. In those two wins, Collins has added two more interceptions, and recorded 17 tackles. For those keeping score at home, the young safety has had an interception in three straight games to go along with 25 tackles, and won two consecutive NFC Defensive Player of the Week Awards. This is freakin’ awesome if you root for the Giants like I do.

Collins still needs to improve in the pass game, but defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has done a good job with not asking him to do too much in coverage and mostly keeps him in the box to take on the run. This was the player I expected to see when he was drafted out of Alabama, and boy, let me tell you it is SO AWESOME finally having a good safety on your team.

I don’t think Collins will or should win Defensive Player of the Year, but I think he at least deserves consideration. He’s the only player that leads his team in tackles, sacks (he’s tied but whatever), and interceptions; that’s incredible any way you look at it. He has helped improve their defense from 32nd to 15th and made them a top five defense against the run. That said, the award should and most likely will go to Von Miller, which I’m fine with because that guy is a f*cking monster, but I don’t think that Collins’ performance should be overlooked.

I don’t know if Collins will be able to keep putting up numbers like he has over the last four games, but it has been so fun to watch him this year. He’s been the catalyst of this defense during their four-game win streak, and it looks like they’re finally hitting their stride. Currently sitting at 6-3, the G-Men face the Browns and Bears over their next two weeks and have a great shot to improve to 8-3 on the season. For that to happen, they’ll have to avoid their typical Giants second half of the season collapse, and they’ll need Collins to keep playing as he has been all season. It’s a great time to be a Giants fan getting to watch young players like Collins, Odell Beckham Jr (lol at everyone that thought he was in for a down year after his first four games), and Sterling Shepard. Looking forward to the present and the future with this team.

P.S. Dallas, we’re coming for that ass.

UFC 205 fans sneak into fight

Buy $1000 tickets to a major sporting event? No thanks. Just create fake media credentials and sneak into the game because, time and time again, it continues to work.

That’s exactly what two UFC fans did in order to get into Madison Square Garden this past Saturday night for UFC 205, which featured Conor McGregor. The process of creating fake credentials involved using an ultra zoom camera to take pictures of real media credentials of crew members and replicating them for use. It worked like a charm and the guys documented their entire experience at the marquee event via saved Snapchat videos.

I am still baffled as to how two regular guys can sneak into a prolific sporting event with fake media credentials. How does this keep happening? Just a few weeks back, a Butler student snuck into Game 5 of the World Series with bogus credentials. Shouldn’t media members have to show ID or prove that they are on a list of approved media members in order to gain access to the event? It seems that the process of getting into an event as a media member as opposed to getting in as a fan is drastically different. If you are attending an event in 2016 as a fan, you usually need to go through metal detectors, get patted down by security and have your ticket scanned in order to enter the venue. Some might say it’s easier to get into Fort Knox than sneak into a game as a spectator.

Actually, now that I think of it, I have received media credentials to a few sporting events in my life and it was extremely easy to get in. Honestly, it was a walk in the park. I still had to go through metal detectors, but all I had to do was flash my credentials and I got in within seconds. They did not ask for my name or if I was on a list. It was as if a cop was flashing his badge to a pedestrian because absolutely no one questioned my credentials.

Moral of the story: Buy an ultra zoom camera and you can get into any sporting event you want.

40-year-old Michael Herrick of Pinellas Park, Florida has quite the rap sheet, as he’s been previously convicted for grand theft, passing bad checks, and violating probation. He can now add a domestic battery charge and the absolutely heinous crime of wasting delicious ramen noodles to that list.

Early Friday morning, Herrick and his live-in boyfriend got into a heated argument. Via The Smoking Gun, here’s how a lovers quarrel turned into a ramen assault.

The 12:30 AM dispute in the couple’s Pinellas Park home turned violent when Herrick threw a cup of ramen noodles at the victim, who was struck in the neck by the noodles. Herrick, cops noted, said that “water was thrown on him” prior to his noodle tossing.

After cops concluded that Herrick was the incident’s primary aggressor, he was arrested for domestic battery. The 6’ 7”, 200-pound Herrick was booked into jail on the misdemeanor count and released from custody yesterday afternoon on his own recognizance.

6’7″!? I guess the boyfriend should be happy Herrick threw noodles and not hands at him. That’s a big ass dude.

According to the arrest affidavit, the pair has been dating and living together for roughly a year. This gives me faith that they’ll be able to work through their problems and put this incident behind them. It’s just a minor speed bump on a long road of happiness. These crazy kids will be Lady and the Tramping their ramen noodles in no time.
