Ex Toledo RB Pleads Guilty in Point Shaving Probe

8/27/2011 4:50:00 AM by oakas
Posted by Ben Kercheval on August 26, 2011, 10:00 AM EDT

Last month, a strange story broke that former Toledo running back Harvey McDougle Jr. had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to influence sports through bribery in a point-shaving probe involving a Detroit-area gambler.

Three other Toledo athletes ? ex-football players Adam Cuomo and Quinton Broussard, and ex-basketball player Sammy Villegas ? were also linked to the scandal. Cuomo and Villegas ultimately pleaded not guilty, but Broussard was expected to enter a plea of guilty this month.

That expectation has come to fruition, as the Associated Press reports that Broussard has pleaded guilty...

Greinke wears wrong jersey to pinch hit

8/14/2011 5:35:00 AM by oakas
MILWAUKEE -- A night after pitching a gem against the Pirates, Zack Greinke was called upon to pinch-hit and sacrifice bunt for the Brewers in Saturday's 1-0 victory.

The only problem?

He was wearing the wrong jersey.

Greinke was wearing the jersey the Brewers plan to wear on Sunday to celebrate German heritage in Wisconsin. Instead of saying "Brewers" on the front, it says "Bierbrauer," the German translation of the team nickname.

Greinke was unavailable for comment after the game, but...

What team will lose to a small college team (FCS) this year?

8/10/2011 12:45:01 PM by oakas
I found this on another forum and thought it was pretty good.



Since 1996 FCS (1AA) teams are 104-842 (11%) against D1 teams,losing by an average of roughly 24 points per game.There are 73 such matchups on this years schedule with almost all of the interesting matchups coming in week 1. Of course the FCS teams will be on the road in all 73 games.I will only address games involving BCS teams and spare everybody the disecting of games such as Howard @ Eastern Michigan and the like.

Week 1

JMU @ UNC - For the second year in a row the 'Heels...

Fathers Day..The Illegitimate Athletic Hall of Shame

The Illegitimate Father Athlete Hall of Shame

Athletes aren?t just our heroes for signing multimillion dollar contracts for playing sports, they?re also the subject of our envy for their ability to sleep with a lot of women. But then the trouble starts, because somehow sex leads to pregnancy which leads to child support. And then suddenly we wouldn?t trade our own 9-5 jobs to be in their shoes because they wind up flat broke and behind bars. Okay, not all of them, but certainly some. Note that inclusion on this list doesn?t necessarily mean that these folks are bad fathers, and...
