Jonathan Taylor is no longer enrolled at Alabama, and the defensive lineman can’t re-enroll, AL.com reported today. It also pointed out that although the university isn’t calling this an expulsion it sure sounds like one....
Qatar Forced A Bunch Of Migrant Workers To Run A Marathon
Not only is the Qatari government killing scores of (let’s not mince words) slaves in order to build the infrastructure necessary to host the 2022 World Cup, it also forced a bunch of them to participate in a state-sponsored “megamarathon” in an attempt to set a dopey Guinness World Record. Many of ...
Harry Caray Used To Just Make Shit Up While Calling Away Games
Yesterday on the The Stacks, we republished Myron Cope's great old profile of Harry Caray, written back when he was still calling games for the Cardinals and was known as a bit of a rebel in baseball circles. Even then, he was already considered the best play-by-play man in the game, in no small par...

Former Bucs GM: We Spied On Justin Blackmon's Favorite Bar For A Week
I rolled my eyes at the claim that an unnamed NFL team had shadowed Jameis Winston on a flight—surely lots of teams had scouts flying into and out of Indianapolis around the combine. But maybe it’s not so crazy. Former Tampa GM Mark Dominik admitted that in 2012, the Buccaneers dispatched a scout to...
Report: Bowling Green Fires Basketball Coach After Incident At Bar
There’s something weird going down at Bowling Green State University, where first-year men’s basketball coach Chris Jans was just fired despite leading the team to a 21-12 record this year. According to Fox Sports Ohio’s Zac Jackson, Jans was fired because of something he did at a bar....
How Has The NCAA's New 30-Sec Shot Clock Worked This Postseason?
As a college hoops superfan, I'll watch the NIT, and even the CIT and CBI given the chance. I've even attended two CIT title games. But the reality is that there's little at stake in these events other than the chance for participating teams to play more basketball and for me to watch more basketb...
Bo Jackson Had To Explain Who He Was To This Dumb Child
Bo Jackson has been hanging out at the White Sox spring training facility this year, acting as an instructor and imparting wisdom on dumb young people. Today’s lessons was for Drake LaRoche, the teenaged son of White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche, who needed a little crash course on who exactly Bo...
If You Could Change The Outcome Of One Play, Which Would It Be?
Yesterday, commenter “Norm Charlatan” wrote that if he had the power, he’d travel back in time and make it so Gordon Hayward’s half-court buzzer-beating heave in the 2010 championship game went in instead of rimming out. That’s a damned good hypothetical....
<i>Golf Digest</i> Embraces The Power Of Men Leering At Boobs
The cover of this month’s issue of Golf Digest features LPGA tour golfer Lexi Thompson wearing a—golf towel? Cut up shirt? Weird scarf?—and not much else. It’s the “Fitness & Power Issue,” which I guess has something to do with side boob....
Oh, Hey, College Baseball Successfully Juiced Its Balls
Home runs are up 39 percent in NCAA D1 baseball, at an even 0.5 per game through March 29, thanks to new flat-seamed baseballs. Through the same stretch of season last year, they were at 0.36 per game, and finished at a record-low 0.39. So, this is good news, at least for hitters. ...

Brazilian Player Red Carded For Flipping Double Bird At Booing Fans
Internacional's Fabrício is sort of like the Brazilian soccer league's Ron Artest, apparently. In his newest display of losing his mind on the pitch, the full back stopped playing in the middle of a game to shout at fans for booing him, then waved two middle fingers at his verbal assailants before t...
Ron Hunter, Just Rolling Around
If you’re wondering about the status of Georgia State coach Ron Hunter, he’s enjoying life and staying upright, for now. A reader sent us a clip of Hunter rolling around Indianapolis and presumably waving at some fans. Even though his son R.J. plans to declare for the NBA Draft, and other schools a...
The Knicks Were Sadder Than Usual Last Night
The Knicks fell to the Nets, 100-98. I hope you didn’t watch, because the destination sure as hell wasn’t worth the journey. The Knicks are 47 games under .500, while the Nets are 34-40 and in playoff position. (The East is unwatchable.) ...
Anthony Bennett, My Friend, What Are You Doing?
You know, it’s been a while since we’ve checked in on former No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, the guy who last year turned in one of the saddest rookie campaigns in history. Maybe things are finally starting to look up for him! ...
