What's Going On With Ryan Garcia?

Image
I'm really not sure where to go with this one. People are worried about Ryan Garcia.  He's posted some insane shit and behaved erratically over the last 3-4 days, to say the least. There's a certain edginess that's required in boxing nowadays and I get that, but Ryan Garcia went into self-destruct mode. It's not like we haven't seen plenty of manufactured drama in this new age of social media and fight promotions (look no further than Jake Paul), but it's gone well beyond that and Ryan Garcia has folks legitimately worried for his wellbeing. And with good reason. The best I can tell, what we have here is either a very fucked up scheme to generate buzz for his upcoming fight at best, or Ryan Garcia is legitimately off the deep end and needs to get straightened out. I can't say for sure what's going on but those two seem like the most likely scenarios. Whatever the case, it's been extremely concerning.  I'm the furthest thing from a boxing guy

It Just Means More: Kentucky Football Teammates Scrapping In The Locker Room

A fight broke out between two Kentucky football teammates in the locker room… Not sure why another guy is recording it… probably not the best look. pic.twitter.com/EmLVrVwBMB — JPAFootball (@jasrifootball) February 28, 2024 Oh, hell yes. It's late February, spring practice hasn't even started yet, and we've already got Kentucky football players fighting in the locker room. By the looks of it, it's two offensive linemen so that's even better. Big meaty men slappin' meat, just havin' a little locker room fracas. In these cases, it's best to stand back and let 'em work it out. Hopefully they shook hands when it was all said and done and decided to be boys again.   For the record, I don't have a problem with this video. If anything, maybe they could've broken it up a little sooner. I haven't spent a great deal of time in college football locker rooms but when one teammate suplexes another into the concrete floor, that might be a good time t

JUSTICE SERVED: Very Disrespectful Bat Flip Earns An Ejection

💥 𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄-𝐓𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐈. 💥 We're tied at eight! @TyWilson44 pic.twitter.com/85ps62lsiX — Grand Canyon Baseball (@GCU_Baseball) February 25, 2024 Enjoy the trot around the bases, "Ty", cause it’ll be your last. To play baseball at a Christian university this certainly wasn't very Christ-like. Showing up the Nebraska pitcher that served up a belt-high meatball in the pimp zone is unacceptable.  Also, we’re just naming colleges after man-made tourist attractions now?   Sadly, it appears that the showboating at this institution is VERY real. Is this what they’re teaching their young student-athletes out west? Is this what baseball's become? A flourish and a bat flip after slapping a jumbo dong to tie the game?  If the coach won’t instill a little respect, it’s up to the umps. Thank heavens, once again, that they’re willing and able to put a stop to any and all emotion and quell the overall fun levels of college baseball to keep

The Early Contender For Internet Video Of The Year Is Here

Here is the longer & original version of me shoving my fadder into a balloon 🤣💚☘️ pic.twitter.com/XSpPBzn5mM — Tadhg Fleming (@tadhgfleming_) February 20, 2024 What a ride. I'm not sure what else I expected, but this video delivers.  Before I even clicked it, I had a decent idea of what was set to take place. It plainly states what he's doing for this video, but even still, I wasn’t ready for it. The commentary and the noises they're making while they try to get him in there is amazing, even if I didn't understand all of it. "Get the leafblower, Ty!" The whole process of getting him in there is delightful.    The jumping and the pop at the end, it's just a perfect video. Pure gold.  Listen, from time to time we could all use a palate cleanser. The world wide web can be a nasty place and too often vitriol and hate takes over. Sometimes a video comes around that defies all the odds of the internet. This time, it's an Irish lad stuffing his "

JUSTICE SERVED: Umpire Stops Batter From Cheating To Get On Base

Image
— Stephen Schoch (@bigdonkey47) February 18, 2024 Our college baseball saviors were once again on the scene to keep the peace this past weekend.  In their opening series, a Sacramento State player by the name of Matt Masciangelo got hit by a pitch in 8 of his first 9 at-bats. What a scam. This kid was more or less cheating to automatically get on base and pad his own on-base percentage. It's clear that he  wanted to get beaned all weekend in the first series of the year and not hit home runs or do anything cooler/less painful. He was obviously crowding the plate to take away the inside half and leaning into pitches. He was taking a page straight out of the "Major League II" playbook and Roger Dorn'ing.  Hats off to this umpire for putting a stop to it, enough is enough.  Unfortunately, you had some on the internet that were celebrating this abhorrent behavior at the plate.  Imagine the pussy he must’ve been getting that got him hit 8 times. — Brandon Walker (@BFW) F

JUSTIVE SERVED: Hawaii Player Draws A Walk Then Gets Ejected

Jordan Donahue, Base on Balls Bat Toss and Ejection pic.twitter.com/jITR9bml0l — Codify (@CodifyBaseball) February 18, 2024 College baseball is back and just in time to teach these kids a thing or two about respect.  You draw a high-and-tight ball four in a one-run game to load the bases against the 2022 National Champs, you'd best hightail it down to first base. Keep your emotions under wraps, shut your trap and don't say a word or else the umpire will EJECT YOU.   Once again it's a lesson learned for Jordan Donahue. He was way outta line and deserved every bit of that ejection. There's simply no place for this type of passion in college baseball and I stand with the brave boys in blue behind the plate.  

In-N-Out Burgers Stole The Show At The Genesis Open

I'll be honest, I've done a fair amount of golf blogging recently and most of it has revolved around diarrhea.  Riviera week is always an exciting one for the game of golf. It's February, it's dreary, and football is over, so there's a twinge of sadness for a lot of sports fans. Thankfully, as a little pick-me-up, the stars were out in Los Angeles to offer up high-quality golfin' this weekend. It was a stacked field with all the big names and it's always a popular tournament taking place at one of the premier venues on tour.  On top of all that, you have the Tiger Effect. Nothing gets the people going like Tiger Woods playing golf, that's just a fact. Tiger's new clothing line released this week so he'd been in the headlines, but more importantly, he was teeing it up for the first time since the Masters last April. What a weekend for golf, what an event, let's go Tiger. Everyone seemed to be having a jolly old time.   In-N-Out and Tiger Wood
