Belcher Report Reveals Previous Problems

((HT: KSHB-TV Kansas City))

There's more disturbing news in the Jovan Belcher case...

The short version is the police investigation has been released and it details the idea that Belcher texted a "secret" girlfriend saying he would kill Kasandra Perkins, the mother of his child, if she wouldn't leave him alone...

Also, the day of Belcher's suicide and the murder of Perkins are detailed in affidavits from Chiefs GM Scott Pioli- and it's not pretty...

Here's the report on the report...

Sad...

That's the only word that comes immediately to mind... in a really bad season that spiraled even further down- if that's even possible...

Josh Brent Now Wears A Bracelet

((HT: WFAA-TV))

In addition to the shock and surprise by the head coach at seeing Josh Brent on the sidelines last Sunday- despite it being voted on by his players, now the Dallas Cowboys player charged in the death of a teammate now wears a bracelet that determines his alcohol intake...

Interesting to see if it will work on a 6-4, 320 pounder...

Rebecca Lopez has the details...
Brent is now barred from the sidelines for the forseeable future, and the quote from his attorney, George Milner, is priceless: “I don't understand why anyone cares about that," he said...

Really... that's what he said...

And, for those of you who care, Brent's bond was lowered to $100,000...

Former College FB Player Apologizes For Racist Tweet

((HT: WAFF-TV Huntsville))

File this in the "too little, too late" department for Social Darwinism...

Bradley Patterson, who at the time was a walk-on football player at the University of North Alabama, tweeted a message
(pictured with the racist word blurred, right- thanks WAFF-TV)that refers to President Obama in a really stupid, racist characterization.

Patterson was not happy his football game was pulled over to CNBC and NBCSports Network when the President spoke to the people of Newtown, Connecticut.

Less than 45 minutes later, Patterson received a call from the UNA head coach saying he was done...

Mark Linder, UNA Athletic Director, then went to Twitter himself to defend his school and not Patterson's action...

Patterson then felt, way too late, to apologize...
Or something...

In "way over my head...?"

How 'bout this idea...???

Nothing Says The Holidays Like Jerry Burns Attempting To Sing

((HT: KSTP-TV))

The folks over at BringMeTheNews get credit for this one...

Admittedly, the HQ has been through various situations where we have had to fill countless sports segments with content when there's nothing else going on...

And we've given the joke about the Aloha Bowl where the game-time temp was 86 and with the wind chill- 85...

((Insert laugh track))

But the folks over at KSTP gathered a lot of local sports stars together to, ahem, sing carols...

Evidence below...


See...???

Bryan Cox Is Still Bryan Cox

((HT: NFL on FOX))

Bryan Cox was always known for being a little feisty during his days as a linebacker...

Now, he's feisty as a member of Greg Schiano's coaching staff in Tampa...
The HQ doesn't quite know the context of the discussion with Adam Hayward, but don't piss off Bryan Cox- EVAH!


See...???

The HQ also wonders who gets disciplined after this one...???

Danny Amendola Hurts An Old Guy

((HT: NFL on CBS/Awful Announcing))

AA gets the official heads-up on this one...

The Rams were trying to come back in their game with Minnesota where:

1) Adrian Peterson was running like he had a plane to catch and,
2) Blair Walsh was getting the HQ a LOT of fantasy points

But part of the game showed just how dangerous celebrations could be...
Danny Amendola scored a TD as he caught a pass from San Bradford and this happened...


Funny thing is... Amendola scored later on and tried to make amends by giving a football to the guy, but he gave it to the wrong guy since, probably, Guy Number One was getting medical attention and a new pair of glasses...

Do You Knowshon...? Haven't We Seen This Before...?

((HT: NFL on CBS/youtube))

Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno, now seemingly healthy, gets to do things a lot of NFL people thought he would be doing all along...

Like this to Ed Reed...


For those of us based near the HQ this is old news...
We've seen it before... and so did Central Michigan...
