Memes Mocking the “Infield Fly Rule” Mishap Pop Up

Last night’s call in the Atlanta vs. St. Louis game was horrendous. While it likely wasn’t the reason the Braves lost the game, it’s no less of a disaster for MLB as they unveiled their new Wild Card format to the masses. 

In true interweb form, Memes and photos mocking the blown call immediately started popping up. 

Here are a few of the better ones that I’ve seen:

Lolo Jones Challenges Eric LeGrand (A Quadriplegic) to a $40k footrace

I tend to enjoy looking at Lolo Jones and actually find her fairly humorous on Twitter. And while I believe this was an honest mistake, it doesn’t make it look any better.

She has since deleted the tweet, but as you’ll see she challenged Eric LeGrand to a $40k footrace. LeGrand is now a quadriplegic after suffering a devastating spinal injury while playing for Rutgers University.

And in fairness, the conversation appears to have been started by LeGrand, but again, it doesn’t make it look any better…

Michigan State, Ohio State Settle Complaint Over Game Tape Tampering

 

Ohio State (14) beat Michigan State (20) this afternoon in a tightly contested game by the score of 17-16. Apparently Sparty didn’t take the loss very well as the Detroit Free Press has reported that Michigan State has filed a complaint against Ohio State to the Big Ten. 

The complaint relates to game film that the Buckeyes sent to the Spartans prior to today’s game. MSU defensive coordinator, Pat Narduzzi confirmed the report of the complaint and said that Ohio State tampered with the game film by cutting off pre-snap motions and shifts before plays on film of its four previous games this season. 

“We had tape cut off all week, where they changed the tape, I’m not gonna lie to you,” Narduzzi said following the game. 

“They send you tape and they’ve got it all cut off and you don’t get to see shifts or motions or anything else.”

“A few other teams we talked to that they played, and we compared what they were looking at on tape to what we were looking at. We’re like, ‘we don’t see any of that. We see it on their tape but not on our tape.’ So that’s something I’m sure the Big Ten office will hopefully take care of.”

The report is not clear on when Michigan State filed the complaint, but it would seem to me that Sparty should have known much earlier than today if the shifts and motion were cut out of the tape. After all, it’s not that hard to take a look at a TV copy to confirm. 

While this is likely not a big deal in the big picture, if these allegations are true, I’m sure the Big Ten will be none too pleased with Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes. 

 

**UPDATE** 9/29/12 9:36 PM

Subsequent to the Detroit Free Press article linked above, multiple reports, including ESPN have now reported that Ohio State and Michigan State have worked together in order to settle their differences without involving a formal complain to the Big Ten.

Officer says he was fired after ticketing Clemson Head Coach, Dabo Swinney

 

A police officer claimed today that he was fired for giving a speeding ticket to Clemson Head Football Coach, Dabo Swinney. 

Officer Michael McClatchy ticketed Swinney on September 3rd after clocking the coach going 63 mph in a 35 mph zone about 20 miles from Clemson. 

Reportedly, several fans recognized Swinney on the side of the road and stopped to get autographs. Some witness reports indicate that Swinney had a “meltdown” and others indicate that the office is a fan of rival South Carolina and ticketed him for that reason. 

The City of Pickens says it fired the officer because he posted his version of the events on a South Carolina message board while still on duty and using a police issued computer. 

The officer disagrees and says he “only briefly edited the post at work and believes officials were looking for an excuse to get rid of him because he didn’t let one of the most popular figures in the area get away with breaking the law”. 

McClatchy added: 

“I was wrongfully terminated for doing my job. The computer issue is a red herring.”

Roger Goodell Apologizes To Fans For Replacement Refs

NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell has issued an apology to fans as part of his press conference earlier today announcing the deal with the referees.

“Something like this, it’s painful for everybody. Most importantly, it’s painful for fans. We’re sorry to have to put fans through that.”

He added: “Sometimes you have to go through something like that in the short term for the right agreement for the long term.”

After weeks of chaos, it took the debacle scenario on MNF to motivate both sides to get a deal done. But it is finally done & I think everyone involved is happy that the regular officials will be presiding over the game tonight & for the rest of the season.

Photo of Child Doing “Keg Stand” at ASU Tailgate

A photo courtesy of The Blaze is circulating around today which appears to show a small child performing a “Keg Stand” with the assistance of some adults.

It cannot be determined from the photo whether the child is actually drinking beer, but this is a horrible thing regardless.

Honestly, who would consider this “funny” or “amusing”? This is just embarrassing.
