Ohio State Fan Blames Kicker For 31-Point Loss To Clemson In Insane Email
Share this: Clemson shut out Ohio State 31-0 in the teams’ Fiesta Bowl matchup, but if Buckeyes kicker Tyler Durbin made his two field goal attempts, things could have been so much different. That’s what at least one fan seems to believe. Ohio State’s loss Saturday knocked them out of the College Football Playoff, so it’s easy to see why Buckeyes fans would be angry and distraught. However, one fan took it way too far when he sent a seething email to Durbin apparently blaming him for OSU’s entire offense not putting up a single point. Warning: There’s some strong language in this extremely hot take. Besides all of the other obviously insane things in that email, the two field goals Durbin missed in the
Gary Sheffield’s Tampa Mansion Is Hitting The Market For $1.8M Steal
Share this: If you want to live like a member of the 500-home run club and have a couple million dollars to spare, well, you’re in luck. Former Major League Baseball outfielder and renowned slugger Gary Sheffield is putting his Tampa, Fla., mansion on the market for $1.8 million, according to Busted Coverage. That’s obviously no bargain, but it’s relatively cheap as far as former professional athletes’ homes go. (Just ask Scottie Pippen.) Sheffield’s home still packs plenty of pop, though. Located in the “exclusive gated community” of Harbour Island, the 5,492-square foot mansion boasts five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and a nice secluded pool. It’s good to know the 48-year-old, who hit 509 home runs with eight different teams over his 22-year career, still
Bobby Bowden Spouts Cringe-Worthy Theory About Players Who Wear Earrings
Share this: Bobby Bowden should know better than to spout nonsense at his advanced age but he’d probably fade into obscurity by doing otherwise. The legendary college football coach said Wednesday during his appearance on ESPN’s “Mike and Mike” show that many of his players wore earrings because they wanted to look like their mothers in the absence of their fathers. Oh boy. Bobby Bowden on players not having dads. "They wanna grow up to be men, like their momma. That's why they wear earrings." pic.twitter.com/iBhUueqEqw — Dr Cork Gaines (@CorkGaines) January 4, 2017 “My last years at Florida State, 65 or 70 percent of my boys did not have a daddy at home,” Bowden said. “They were raised by mommas, sweet ol’ mommas. Thank

Jae Crowder Tweets ‘I Have No Problem Leaving (Boston)’ In Angry Twitter Rant
Share this: Jae Crowder took to Twitter to voice his displeasure that Celtics fans were cheering for Utah Jazz star Gordon Hayward during Boston’s 115-104 win Tuesday night. First, Crowder tweeted his thoughts on the Hayward cheering. HOME TEAM FANS CHEERING FOR THE OPPOSING PLAYERS NOW.. AW MAN OK… SMH BUT GOOD WIN FELLAS ONTO THE NEXT ONE.!! — JAE CROWDER (@CJC9BOSS) January 4, 2017 Then, the Celtics forward retweeted a fan saying he should go back to the Dallas Mavericks, where Crowder played before he was dealt to Boston as part of the Rajon Rondo trade.
