The sports world seems upside down right now. When I saw Kansas State was #1 in the BCS I asked myself a pretty simple question that I was semi-embarassed to ask: Who is coaching K-State these days? I remember the heydays of K-State football back in the late 90’s but it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from the K-State football program. Rather than Google the answer I went old school and asked a…
In the early days of this site, we were kind of dicks. There was an infamous post with the title of “Lions and Tigers and Player X’s wife… Oh My!” After getting yelled at a few times, and maybe just maybe growing up a little bit, we’ve toned down and have really taken almost all judgement out of our posts. However, there are times when news stories come along that are so unbelievable that we…
It’s not often that we find ourselves covering the wives of a coach or athlete embroiled in a scandal (see Jerry Sandusky), but at times the situation dictates we must. Bernie Fine’s wife, Laurie Fine has become a central figure involved in the story surrounding the child molestation accusations levied against her husband. ESPN ran a series of reports around the Bernie Fine case, including a phone call between Laurie and one of the alleged…
Don’t tell me we’ve got another Tiger situation on our hands here. The Godfather of awesome sports blogs, Deadspin has combed through Bobby Petrino’s university issued cell phone and has now discovered that in addition to his overwhelming communications with fellow motorcycle crash victim, girlfriend Jessica Dorrell, Petrino was in close and frequent contact with yet another young woman. In their investigation, Deadspin has determined that Petrino exchanged at least 200 text messages from September…
It was really only a matter of time until this became public news. First we found out that Bobby Petrino had been in a motorcycle accident. Then we found out that fellow Arkansas staffer Jessica Dorrell was on the motorcycle with Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino at the time of the crash. Then we found out that Jessica Dorrell was actually engaged to be married to another fellow Arkansas staffer, Josh Morgan, in June of 2012….
Although neither side has officially confirmed the relationship, it has become very clear over the past few weeks that Syracuse star Scoop Jardine is dating a fellow undergrad and Michael Jordan’s daughter, Jasmine Jordan. One of the heirs to his Airness’ fortune obviously is a big fan of basketball having grown up around the sport, with father Michael dominating the NBA and brothers Jeffrey and Marcus playing at Central Florida. So it’s not a stretch…
We’ve been on an incredible run of coaches the last few weeks where everything was sunshine and roses. However, for the Cincinnati Bearcats head coach, Mick Cronin, the history between he and his ex wife Darlene Taylor Cronin is a little hazy. Mick Cronin and Darlene Taylor-Cronin were married by at least 2006 as evidenced by photos of the two together at a charity event for the Mathis Foundation. During Mick’s introductory remarks highlighting the…
