If you havent heard, WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins took a "recruiting" visit to the basketball-hotbed of Las Vegas last week. Late Friday night/early Saturday morning, Huggins fell on to a coffee table (skip to 2:50 for the fall), breaking 7 ribs.
Today, WVU released a statement saying Huggins took some meds on an empty stomach and stood up too fast, causing the fall.
I couldn't make that up if I tried...Huggy wasn't eating or boozing in Vegas?
Albert Haynesworth reportedly failed his conditioning test today in his first day back to the team. Once he is able to pass the test, he will enter training camp on the Redskins second line, according to the Washington Post.
Up the Beltway, Baltimore Ravens rookie Terrence Cody a.k.a "Cheeseburger" found out what "3rd times a charm" means the hard way. After three tries, 150 yards, and 1 nickname later, the Ravens 1st round draft pick was allowed to practice with the team.
The two are a combined 700 pounds. We are no doctors here at The Cheddar, but you know where this is going...
UPDATE: Haynesworth has failed the conditioning test for a 2nd day in a row.
Washington National's fireballer Stephen Strasburg has hit the Disabled List for the first time in his Major League career. Only nine starts into his first year on the mound, the 'Nats scratched him from the lineup just minutes before he was scheduled to make his tenth start.
Strasburg has put up an impressive performance thus far with splits of a 5-2 record, 2.32 ERA, 75 strikeouts and 15 walks since making his major league debut June 8. Placing him on the DL this early in to his career is no funnier than David Letterman's lame Strasburg top 10 List.
He is already drawing eerie comparisons to the once great Kerry Wood, not only because of possible arm troubles, but their striking physical resemblance as well. Wood was only able to muster up 19 decisions before he needed Tommy John surgery. Lets hope Strasburg's injury is not serious because the last thing the nation's capital needs is another injury-prone superstar.
This video almost has 3,000,000 views. The Orioles haven't been this relevant since they had Miguel Tejada.
Oh, what's that? He still plays for them and he wasn't/isn't that relevant? Cool.
After that showcase of athletic ability, Oriole's Bro should expect to skyrocket on Mel Kiper Jr's 2011 NFL Draft Big Board , but Todd McShay will question his work ethic and character after throwing in the towel/being arrested in crunch time.
Things are looking up for the Baltimore brO's.
UPDATE: Tejada has been traded to the Padres and ESPN's Buck Showalter was hired as the new manager...sick.
Adam Schefter is reporting that the Rams have saved their franchise and will not be signing Terrell Owens. Naturally, the Bengals have stepped up and it now appears T.O. will be moving to the 513.
Nothing about this move makes any sense. Owens will fight for looks with OchoCinco, Antonio Bryant, Andre Caldwell, skiing enthusiast Matt Jones, and rookie Jordan Shipley. However, T.O. has been working out with Carson Palmer in Cali this summer and Coach Marvin Lewis has heard nothing but good things.
"Carson was really impressed with a lot of the things that Terrell was doing," Lewis said. "Carson's comments to me -- I guess the word is they resonate well."
I had to read that last quote a few times, but I am now sure that "they resonate well" is more than one word. Better luck in the next interview, Marv.
Anywho, while improving grammar should be a top priority for most of the franchise and their fans (who dey?) this off-season, lets be serious, proper grammar and sentence structure is a fool's game.
The team's training camp opens this Thursday...will we see T.O. in the orange and black?....will training camp air on VH1?...will someone ever take a picture with more swagger?
Any logicial human would take their talents to South Beach. Not Stephon Marbury. The ex-NBA All-Star and current CBA All-Star told the The People's Daily of China he turned down a spot on the Miami Heat, so he could come back to play for the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association in the 2010-2011 season.
