UCLA QB Ben Olson Fractures Foot
August 11, 2008
UCLA Quarterback Ben Olson fractured his foot during a team drill that took place on Saturday and is already expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks, if not more.
According to the Seattle Times, Olson, whose career has been hampered by injuries, broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice Saturday, and X-rays taken Sunday revealed the fracture. Olson, 25, suffered the same injury April 24, the second-to-last day of spring practice.
A decision on whether he will have surgery is expected to be made in a few days.
“It’s very frustrating because it seems every year that my progression as a quarterback has been halted by injury,” Olson said.
I know first hand (or I guess you could say foot) that this injury is the type that nags at you for months and months. The bone in question is thinner bone type and surgery is probably Olson’s best option, depending on the severity of the fracture. However, with a great doctor and an effective therapist hopefully Ben can get back on the field within 7 weeks.
Madden ‘09 Cover Will Feature Favre In Packers Jersey
August 8, 2008
EA Sports and label president Peter Moore have announced that Brett Favre will still be featured on the cover of Madden NFL ’09 wearing his infamous green and gold jersey.
Soon after it was announced that Brett would be playing for the New York Jets, EA Sports quickly re-produced a print-only cover of Favre in a Jets uniform. According to Game Daily, a downloadable cover update will soon be availabe from EA Sports and a roster patch also expected to be released for download to make sure Brett is in the game and with the right team. Fans can print out this new cover and insert it into the case of Madden NFL 09.
“Besides the fact that it would be an added expense and hassle to change the cover, EA wants to honor Favre’s legacy as a Packer, so the art isn’t changing”, said Peter Moore.
“Madden NFL ‘09 hit stores next Tuesday with Brett wearing his Packers green and gold”.
Does EA Sports really want to preserve Favre legacy, or was it really too much of a hassle to change the cover?
Game Daily also features an area where you can view 35 screenshots of the game that hits the shelves on Tuesday.

USC football’s home stadium not up for sale
May 16, 2008
The state Senate rejected legislation Thursday that would require the state to sell the site of the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and adjoining Los Angeles Sports Arena. The bill’s author, Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Merced, said the stadium is “falling apart” and that selling the land would generate as much as $400 million to help ease the state’s budget crunch. California is facing a $15.2 billion deficit in the fiscal year that starts July 1. Details..
Put the little man and his fiddle away. You saw this coming. Why pick on a University that stimulates your economy in revenue and education. REJECTED!
The future plans for the stadium include new seats, upgrade the video and scoreboard on the peristyle end and add a video-scoreboard on the other end of the stadium. To help pay for the improvements, the university will try to lure a “naming” sponsor for the facility and it has been specified that USC will pay rent which includes 8 percent of gross ticket sales for home games, half of game-day expenses, and 8 percent of revenue from live television broadcasts when the crowd is below 70,000.
Barack Obama’s College Sports Days!
May 16, 2008
Yea it’s true Obama played Flag Football! Not real tackle football though-reframing from breaking a nail was always a con rather than a pro to those real rough sports. Water polo, tennis always felt to be a “safe subject or matter”, that could always spark an inspirational speech if needed.
Back when he was a young pup, Barack Obama went to college. Some of his former classmates remember he was a supernice guy who stood up to menacing bums; others say he was aloof; and still others ask, “Barry who?” Such was the wonderful enigmatic palimpsest of Barack Obama back in the days when he wore “$5 military-surplus khakis and used leather jackets” and roomed with some guy who later became a loser due to his cocaine addiction.

Joe Paterno: Hospitalized-Treated and Released
May 15, 2008
Penn State coach Joe Paterno spent several hours at a hospital being treated for dehydration before returning home late Thursday.
The 81-year-old coach had been working at home late in the morning when he began feeling nauseated and was taken by ambulance to Mount Nittany Medical Center, team spokesman Guido D’Elia said. Paterno had tests at the hospital but was not admitted. Minneapolis Star Tribune, MN
Paterno was released and back home Thursday evening, and doctors determined he suffered from dehydration, team officials said.
Hey, it happens at age 81. All I can say is, atleast it wasn’t during a game (with a crowd of 100,000) or in front of his team AGAIN. No one is exactly sure what he was doing when he became severely dehydrated. We will keep you updated when the details surface!
Police: Florida player used dead girl’s credit card
May 14, 2008
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP)—A Florida football player was kicked off the team Friday after turning himself in on charges he used the gas credit card of a woman who was killed along with another player in a motorcycle accident.
Jamar Hornsby, a 21-year-old junior safety, learned Thursday that a judge had issued a warrant for his arrest on charges he used the dead woman’s gas card for six months, so he surrendered on charges of credit card theft and fraudulent use of a credit card, lawyer Huntley Johnson said.
Hornsby was released from jail several hours later on his own recognizance.
It was not immediately clear how Hornsby got the card. Johnson declined to comment on the specifics of the case, but said they would cooperate with authorities. Read More from Yahoo Sports
Florida coach Urban Meyer announced a few days ago that Hornsby is no longer apart of the Gators Football Program. Thank God! The worst part of this whole situation is; he used it not once or twice, but more than 70 times. This was just a cold hearted, sick crime. This tells you how secure it is to keep a credit card in your wallet. Even if you are dead people can and will make you bend over.
Washington State to lose eight football scholarships
May 6, 2008
Washington State University will lose eight football scholarships for failing to satisfy the latest NCAA academic progress standards, school officials said Tuesday.
Two scholarships apply to this academic year and the other six are factored into the 2008 recruiting class, athletic director Jim Sterk said.
“The NCAA has an appeals process, but at this point we felt it was best to accept our penalties and move the football program forward,” Sterk said.
The NCAA on Tuesday released a nationwide report that recommended possible scholarship losses at nearly 150 college teams in all sports. Washington State’s football program was the only sport among the four Division I programs in the state - including Washington, Eastern Washington and Gonzaga - to face potential scholarship losses.

This is inexcusable! College football can do more than they know for their University and yet they are trying to find the cheap way out by hiring incapable staff? College choices are made based on the reputation of the university. Get with the program!!!
The Top Three 2008 Heisman Musketeers
May 5, 2008
#3. First on the list, but the third overall is no other than Texas Tech’s WR Michael Crabtree. Ah yes, when you ask yourself about this stellar wide receiver and his previous accomplishments, all that comes to mind is the little fork that always is included at most restaurants with crab legs. Despite associating his name with food, his accomplishments in his debut season with Texas Tech were phenomenal just like gas prices. Crabtree had at least nine catches in 10 games in 2007, and scored at least one touchdown per game. According to Rivals.com, he set numerous national freshman records in posting 134 catches for 1,962 yards and 22 touchdowns. Not too shabby. One thing is for sure; the 3 Musketeer bar will not improve, but Crabtree’s coaches say he is on the verge of winning the 2008 Heisman! Read more

The 2006 BCS National Championship Trophy Is Broke!
May 5, 2008
That’s right! The report from Gainsville is that the trophy was FUMBLED by Plant High tight end Orson Charles.
While competing in a Nike training camp, Orson told reporters that he and another were roaming around the football stadium. According to TBO.com, That’s where the BCS trophy, along with Gators quarterback Tim Tebow’s Heisman Trophy, were on display. While leaning over to take a photo of the Heisman, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Charles said he bumped into the BCS trophy - he thinks with his backside - and knocked it to the ground.
Wow. What embarrassment, he can’t even take a picture without wrecking the join! Sounds like a perfect script in the making for a Twix commercial! To bad he is already in Florida. The value of trophy was considered to be roughly 35,000 dollars. OPPS!
Ryan Perrilloux: One Bad Apple Destroys The Bunch!
May 5, 2008
They say one bad apple destroys the bunch. Ryan Perrilloux’s situation is the classic example. A quarterback who is in charge of a great offense that fails to do his job on and off the field can demolish a team’s chance at a national title. As a response to the comment below: The only judging going on here is from a different kind of bench.
“It’s mighty funny how people are so quick to judge someone. To me it sounds like Les Miles got tired of “hearing” about Perrilloux. He should stop reading the papers. Let’s see. Nightclub incident - Cleared of wrongdoing. So there was no nightclub incident. He missed a team meeting to attend the funeral of his father. Nothing wrong there. And lastly he tried to get in a club with fake id. Wow. It’s not like that’s a felony or nothing. You’ll are funny. Enjoy the day… “ ESPN News Comment
BATON ROUGE, La. — Ryan Perrilloux seemed like a perfect fit for LSU.
The Louisiana native had the rocket arm, mobility and versatility to make him a constant big-play threat and one of the most sought-after quarterback prospects in the country coming out of high school. He even had the French last name.
His lack of discipline off the field, however, became an increasing distraction for head coach Les Miles, who finally decided Perrilloux’s presence on the roster was more trouble than it was worth. Perrilloux tested positive on a drug test, leading Miles to dismiss him on Friday morning, two sources close to the situation told ESPN’s Joe Schad. Read More From ESPN CF News

Coors Brewing Company Announces “National Venting Day”
April 9, 2008
It is official. Every April 15th for the rest of man-kind will be known as “National Venting Day” also known as the day Coors Brewing Company added an important feature to their wide-mouth cans to increase pouring efficiency. The perfect way to reward all of us hard working men on tax day. The invention of the vent is an industry first and reinforces Coors Light’s continuing commitment to providing beer drinkers the best way to enjoy the “World’s Most Refreshing Beer.”
The reason for the small air vent is to create a more smooth pour decreasing the head of most regular cans of beer.
“The Vented Wide Mouth is the latest step in our attempt to create a can that drinks like a frosty glass. On Tax Day, we’re giving beer drinkers a better way to Vent”, vice president Lee Dolan says.
If CEO Bill Coors had the innovative idea to actually invent the aluminum can, we should congradulate him on inventing the “vent”. A wider- mouth, silver package, and less head; what more could us consumers ask for while enjoying an adult beverage. Cheers to Coors!
A Virginia Tech Tribute -1 Year Ago
April 7, 2008
Today marks the one year anniversary of the tragic events that led up to the deadliest shooting spree in U.S. History. On April 16, 2007 the nation was brought to its knees by what we all now know to be as the Virginia Tech Massacre. 32 innocent people consisting of students and faculty tragically lost their lives as a gunman invaded the campus.
Fumbled.org asks you to remember those who lost their lives or had their lives changed forever. Numerous remembrance ceremonies will be conducted throughout the day to honor the fallen students and faculty that courageously took their last breath on that dark and dreary day.
Cnn.com has posted a tribute of victims which can be seen here. Cnn Tribute Take the time to click through an amazing salute and tribute.
I would like to extend my condolences to all of the friends and family members of the victims. As human beings we learn from and forgive the mistakes of others and move forward through the journey of life. Virginia Tech has chosen to move forward and most would say they have come along way within the last year. Many students had left the campus to continue their academic careers while other chose to stay. The Virginia Tech football team had a great season considering the recent situation. Golf team captain, and a junior at VT, Drew Weaver has made school history and will compete with Tiger Woods in this years “Masters”. Not a bad way to lift spirits.
The moral here is; no matter what there is hope, always live your life to the fullest day-by-day, appreciate your peers, friends, family and employees and most importantly let them all know you appreciate them.
I will end with a quote from “Alex Hitchens” (Hitch)…
Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away….
NCAA Coaches To Run Flag Football Games In Middle East
April 3, 2008
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — With a daughter serving in the military, Randy Shannon particularly understands the importance of supporting American troops.
He’ll fly a long way this spring to make that point.
Shannon is among five college football coaches who’ll head to Kuwait and other military bases in the Middle East this May to meet with U.S. troops and participate in some clinics. He’ll be joined by Notre Dame’s Charlie Weis, Georgia’s Mark Richt, Auburn’s Tommy Tuberville and Yale’s Jack Siedlecki.
The trip is scheduled from May 20-26.
“I’m thrilled to do it,” Shannon told The Associated Press Wednesday. “I mean, you get to go over and support the people over there in the military. And most of the coaches kind of know each other: Mark Richt attended the University of Miami, Tommy Tuberville coached with me, Charlie Weis I know from the NFL. Everybody’s excited about it and we’re going over to support the people that support us.”
Ok, so our troops need entertainment. Not a bad idea. Send them a few College football coaches and incorporate them in a few games of harmless football ran by the best. What I don’t understand is; why would you send Charlie Weis? With the way his 2007 season turned out he will most likely be picked last for teams. Demoralizing!
However, you can’t pick on him too much, he is doing a great thing by donating his time for a great cause. Stay safe coaches!

During a scheduled news conference from Jeannette Senior High School, the long anticipated college football prospect Terrelle Pryor, will announced his official long awaited decision, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

You could say that Terrelle has had an amazing last 6 months winning two Pennsylvania State PIAA titles, one for football and one for basketball. His coaches and teammates give him all of the credit in the world for focusing on the moment and not the future.
No doubt, Pryor is a team playerand leader. His talent and leadership abilities will do nothing but flourish the Ohio State team to possibly a few National Titles.
The source was a credible source and right on the money. Fumbled.org officially broke this story to the media before any other college football news site out there. This was all thanks to a phone call from a Jeannette Senior High School official!
BREAKING NEWS: STORY STILL DEVELOPING!
The Pro Football Hall of Fame Will Debate “The Stolen 1925 Championship”
March 3, 2008
Sit back and get ready, because now its on…I mean really on! On April 18th, 2008, Joe Horrigan, Vice President of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will come to Pottsville, Pennsylvania (home of Yuengling) to debate the much anticipated return of “The Stolen NFL 1925 Championship” with ESPN senior writer and Maroons supporter David Fleming. The debate will be held at the newly reconstructed Sovereign Majestic Theater in downtown Pottsville.
According to the Pottsville Republican, Horrigan will take the viewpoint opposing Fleming, an opinion that by their own choice and despite repeated warnings, the Maroons disobeyed an NFL rule and therefore do not deserve the title. Jim Coles the main sports anchor for WNEP-Newswatch 16 (A Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania News Network) will moderate the debate between Horrigan and Fleming.
The debate will surley keep the Pottsville Maroons in the recently acquired national spotlight. Fleming has done an outstanding job of circulating his most recent book about the Maroons “Breaker Boys: The NFL’s Greatest Team and the Stolen 1925 Championship“. It has been said to be “selling faster than Harry Potter” in the community and surrounding areas. The February edition of ESPN The Magazine showcased an article about the Maroons and the curse that is said to be held over the cardinals franchise by Maroon fans for their unethical acceptance of the championship.
The Republican also stated that about 150 tickets — about two-thirds of the seats — will be raffled off March 30 at The REPUBLICAN & Herald, 111 Mahantongo St., Pottsville. Free tickets will be distributed in the random drawing, while the remaining seats will be reserved for invited guests.
The debate is the next important step in justifying the unreasonable events that took place in 1925. Fumbled.org supports the Maroons and hopes to see the title returned to its home, Pottsville Pennsylvania! GO DAVE!!!
Darren McFadden Used As Under Age Marketing Campaign
February 26, 2008
According to the Associated press, a ”back-street” whimpy piano bar that admitted Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden (even though he was under age) will face a $500 fine.
Employees of Ernie Biggs (Official Website Seen Here) told investigators they let the 20-year-old running back inside Jan. 10 knowing he was a minor, said Michael Langley, director of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control agency on Tuesday.
Can you blame them? They now can say this is the bar Darren McFadden was briefly arrested at. Sounds to me like they should have had the help of a professional advertising agency.
Anyways, McFadden and at least four others were at the bar when a fight broke out.
A video of the Ernie Biggs bar scene that McFadden attended can be seen below….You should try to find him. As for now, it looks like he will be in the clear and not be charged for under age drinking. After all, there is no law that states you can not be in a bar under age.
And come on man, if you are going to risk your NFL career, altleast pick a better bar!
