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.

Joe McKnight’s Alleged Killer, Ronald Gasser, Arrested On Manslaughter Charge
Share this: It took nearly a week, but it appears justice is being served in the death of Joe McKnight. Ronald Gasser, the man accused of shooting and killing the former NFL running back at an intersection in broad daylight, was arrested Monday on one count of manslaughter, according to Jefferson Parish (La.) Correctional Center records. Gasser allegedly killed McKnight last Thursday in a road rage incident Terrytown, La., reportedly shooting him three times and at one point telling the 28-year-old, “I told you, don’t you f— with me,” according to an eyewitness.

In another strange twist, Gasser also was

Toronto Journalist Reportedly Identified As AL Wild Game Beer Chucker
Share this: Tuesday’s American League Wild Card Game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles was an instant classic, but history probably will remember it for one ugly incident instead. As Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim went to make a catch during the bottom of the seventh inning, a fan threw a beer can that came very close to hitting him. The Blue Jays went on to win the game on a walk-off home run, but much of the talk Wednesday centered around Buck Showalter’s decision not to pitch Zach Britton and the beer-throwing incident. The Toronto Police posted a close-up photo on Twitter of the man believed to be the beer-can thrower and asked the public for help identifying him. And apparently it worked, because he has
Swimmer Feigen apologizes for ‘serious distraction’ in Rio
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. swimmer James Feigen apologized for the “serious distraction” he and three teammates caused at a gas station during the Rio Olympics, saying he omitted facts in his statement to police. “I omitted the facts that we urinated behind the building and that Ryan Lochte pulled a poster off the wall,” Feigen said in a statement Tuesday on the website of his lawyer in Austin, Texas.
