A high school football game between Garfield Heights and Collinwood (OH) was called because of a fight that started either in one of two places: after a cheap shot on the field and escalated on the field, or something that started in the stands and ended on the field with that outburst...
Newsnet5 in Cleveland found this video
((HT:andygarhts5455))
Initially, five people were arrested but two were released after the first hours in the investigation.
Here's (believe it or not) chopper video of the moment the fight happened...
And the update
Garfield Heights (OH) City Schools released this statement: “Because the safety and security of every person who attends co-curricular activities at the Garfield Heights City Schools is of the utmost importance, district officials, game officials and security personnel made the decision to cancel the game instantaneously. Local officials took appropriate action, and the community can rest assured knowing that those students of the Garfield Heights City Schools who were involved will be swiftly and appropriately dealt with by the district.”

DEVELOPING: NPSL Pensacola City FC Reax- Alvaro Pichardo
OSG Sports has received an e-mail from Pensacola City FC midfielder Alvaro Pichardo about what has happened over the last 36 hours...
This is his first-person account as to what he experienced in the folding of the franchise...
It is a stream-of-consciousness review and OSG Sports left punctuation alone...
It is heart-breaking, head-scratching and leaves a lot of questions still...
Well, we received an email from Bill at 9:10 Wednesday night that said we had a meeting the next day (Thursday) at 1:00 pm because he was doing an equipment check. (who does equipment checks at this level, why would you need to check our equipment if there hasn't been a problem with us wearing the wrong gear or anything? at this point we started talking as a team about what we thought would happen and some of us came up with the thoughts that the team was folding because we hadn't trained on Wednesday, 2 days before a game, and we hadn't discussed the traveling plans for Thursday afternoon to travel to Georgia for the game.
Anyway... we get there and Bill takes our equipment, when he is finished "checking" our equipment he gives us this lecture of how we are workers and just like any business if you don't do your job you can get fired, he even goes to say that he heard that some of the guys had gone out to drink the night before the Chattanooga game, which i know for a fact that no one went out, we finished the game and everyone went home because we had a game the next day at 1. then he says that we played like "shit" against CFC because we were hungover... i have 2 things to say about that, 1st we didnt play like shit, we lost 1-0 against the best team in the conference, a team that is competing in the US Open Cup and is one of the best in the NPSL year after year with almost the exact same line up from the night before in 90 degree weather with a team that has almost no organization due to the fact that we have had 0 tactical sessions all year and don't know how to defend and play as a team, this goes to tell you that we worked our asses off for Bill and we only lost 1-0... 2nd no one had any alcohol in them. we lost because they were the better team.
Bill also added that him and his business partners decided that it was not worth spending so much money when the public was not reacting and supporting us, this is normal in sports, you dont make a team and 2 years later start making money, this is normal in any business, it takes years to start making money first you invest, then you start breaking even and then you make a profit... this is what i think actually happened, Bill doesnt really have a good idea on how to run a sports team.
At first I didn't want to say anything because I had a good relationship with Bill, he had been really nice to me last year and even this year but it really bothers me that he has blamed us for terminating the team, this is not our fault, you do not expect us to win every game when the set up has been an absolute joke, from having no goals for the first few days to doing the same thing every single day at training without any intensity and not working tactically, soccer is not a sport that you just go out there and kick a ball around, you have to be organized and run a system, which we didn't do... we pretty much were just thrown out there to kick the ball around. If anything, Bill should be happy that we worked hard in the games and didn't lose by more with such a disorganized and unprofessional environment around us...
Also, I'm not too happy about how he is treating the injured players, Remy (Moulard) hurt in ankle and had to be taking the hospital about a week ago and he has yet to have an MRI, I wonder how Bill would feel if this happened to his son and the owner of the team simply didn't care about his health. I dont think he has realized how much we gave up to come play for him and how much we have lost now that he terminated the team. Remy is injured and has nowhere to go but he doesnt care about this, he is probably gonna have to sit out his next college season due to this injury and this could affect him to reach his goal of becoming a professional soccer player but evidently Bill could care less... I had other options before coming here, PDL other NPSL team and I even passed up on playing with my countries national team because i was promised a professional environment and a very organized team with MLS and USL coaches coming to watch us (which never happened)...
He also said "i have no control of where they lived, they stayed with local players. so local players are the ones who kicked out their teammates" this has really pissed me off that he would lie like this, he had control of where we lived, yes we stayed with local players but those local players live in apartments which require you to pay rent obviously, and guess who agreed to pay that rent... Mr. Bill Fetke himself, so now that we have 2 days till rent is due, what are we supposed to do? No one has enough money to afford rent because we have not been working, because of the fact that Bill promised us food and housing.
Yes he has folded the team and there is nothing we can do now but the least he can do is keep his promise to pay for our rents, at least for 1 more month to give us time to find another team and he could pay for the injured players' medical bills. Just like in any business if you get injured while working, the employer has to pay for medical bills but it seems like he forgot about this or maybe he is just a cold person that doesn't care about the well being of others.
More reaction will be posted as we receive it and OSG Sports also has another question into NPSL Commissioner Michael Hitchcock about how the folding of the franchise relates to the rest of the schedule going forward...

Ovie Says He's Okay... BUT...
((HT: TSN BarDown))
This knee-on-knee almost broke Twitter earlier Sunday when Team Russia had this happen on the ice at the IIHF World Championships
There was talk of hospitals, pictures of ambulances, and a near revolt...
So, you know... the German player who hip checked and injured Ovechkin is Marcus Kink. When asked about the hit by Russian reporters, Kink stormed off in post-game interviews.
And Slava Malamud, through his Twitter feed, offered this bit of optimism:
Alex Ovechkin is back in the team hotel. Walking on his own, no crutches, but limping. Team doctor says it's "better than expected"
We'll see how Team Russia responds at the Worlds from this moment on...

Was Inaugural Indy GP Worth It...?
((HT:WTHR-TV))
It was an interesting challenge for an entity that is still looking for an identity.
Trying to restore a bit of the roar to the month of May in Indianapolis, the folks at IndyCar decided to have another race on the IMS property. In the pre-schism days of open-wheel racing, the entire month was packed with fans in the stands. Every day of qualifying and practice had full stands and that it nowhere near the case nowadays.
Now, the stands are fairly empty and the idea was to find a place holder for the Formula 1 race.
Thus, the Grand Prix of Indianapolis...
Running clockwise on the front stretch and on the inner portion of the old F1 track, it meant that the standing start would be interesting as well...
Good enough for a surprising winner as well...and an injury to the mayor at the start when pole-sitter Sebastian Saavedra stalled at the beginning...
Here's WISH-TV's video of Ballard waving the flag for start and getting clipped...

2 Injured As Woman Jumps From Top Section In Oakland
((HT: KGO-TV))
What motivated a woman to jump from the 300 section of the Oakland Coliseum is still a mystery. But, what is certain, is that the Marine that tried to catch her- and injured himself seriously in the process- saved her life...
The woman's injuries are said to be far more serious still- even critical.
Authorities do admit she would have died immediately had it not been for the man who broke her fall of 30 feet.
Here's the look from O.co

DEVELOPING: Dario Is Done, Doctors Say He Can't Race...
The four-time IZOD IndyCar Series champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner has been told by doctors that he has to hang up his steering wheel...
The accident he had in Houston, pretty much wrapped it for him...
Here's part of the statement released from his own website:
One month removed from the crash and based upon the expert advice of the doctors who have treated and assessed my head and spinal injuries post accident, it is their best medical opinion that I must stop racing. They have made it very clear that the risks involved in further racing are too great and could be detrimental to my long term well-being. Based on this medical advice, I have no choice but to stop.
Here's the wreck...
((HT: IndyCar/NBCSN))
Team owner Chip Ganassi followed:
His contributions to the sport of motor racing are too many to list but I can tell you that they go way beyond what he has done on the track. What’s both impressive and unique about Dario is that he has always been a student of racing, someone who not only appreciates the actual science of the sport but also the rich heritage of those racers that have gone before him.
Ganassi anticipates the next chapter of Franchitti's life to be in his shop...
Franchitti is also tied with Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy for seventh on the Indy car career victory list with 31.

ClubberSpeak: Man Down!
As a part of our family, Jim Lang has been in front and behind the mic on both radio and television. He's been a writer and muser- and the HQ is happy to say that we're adding his thoughts and excellent penmanship to our ranks- as long as he will have us...
Here's his latest work... and you can catch up with his previous work at jimlangblog.com
But we'll be adding his new stuff here as well...
A special stick tap to Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun for tipping me off to a really cool sports website, http://www.mangameslost.com.
On the site you can keep track of all of the man games lost due to injury on any team in all four major North American pro sports leagues and all of the top soccer leagues around the world.
Maple Leafs fans are too well aware of the rate of attrition that is going on right now in the NHL. With injuries to Dave Bolland and Tyler Bozak the Leafs are woefully thin at centre.
But the Leafs are 10-5 and they will get no sympathy from others teams around the league, especially the 4-10 and 2 Oilers.
As of November 3rd the Oilers were at the top of the list with a whopping 87 man games lost to injury. In comparison the Leafs have lost 44 man games to injuries while the Flames have only lost 33 man games.
Are injuries an excuse for losing? No they are not.
Injuries are a fact of life in professional sports. No team in any sport will go through a season without experiencing some kind of injury to a key player. How that team deals with it speaks volumes of the depth of the respective organization and the character within their dressing room.
A case in point is the Anaheim Ducks. As of November 3rd the Ducks had lost 71 man games to injury. The Ducks are also one of the best teams in the Western Conference. That is a testament to the job Ducks General Manager Bob Murray has done stocking the organization with depth at all levels.
In total the Leafs currently list three players on the Injured Reserve. The Ducks have five players listed, the Oilers have six. (Dallas Eakins can’t buy a break this year. Poor guy.)
The Leafs did receive some good news Wednesday with the report that defenceman Mark Fraser is finally ready to return the line-up. Whether or not he is in the line-up for Friday’s game against the Devils remains to be seen. But at least some help is on the way.
I found it interesting that in the 2010/11 season the Canucks were sixth in the NHL with 360 man games lost to injury. Despite this they still made it all the way to the seventh game of the Stanley Cup Final.
So I encourage you to spend a little time and check out the website. Any hockey fan who loves the excellent site capgeek.com will enjoy mangameslost.com as well.
See...???

Tim Hudson Carted Off In Flushing, Fractures Ankle Covering First- Done For 2013
((HT:_markberry on MobyPicture))
Atlanta Braves pitcher Tim Hudson was carted off the field in Queens after trying to beat Eric Young, Junior to the bag covering first on a ground ball in the bottom of the 8th inning...
This is not pretty and the squeamish really should think twice before hitting "Play..."
The Braves starters had not missed a start in the first half of the season, but have had two go down since the All-Star return... Here's the broadcast version... ((HT: FS Braves)) Dan Uggla was asked about Hudson postgame: "He was in disbelief on the ground. I know he was in a lot of pain. He's one of those guys you love. He's devastated."
As of 2040HRS, Braves Manager Fredi Gonzalez did not have an injury update. He has not had the chance to speak to Braves trainer Jeff Porter to get his feedback... but it was disclosed that Hudson has fractured his right ankle.
When he returns to Atlanta, Hudson will have surgery to repair the damage. He is done for the 2013 season.
