Hey guys, long time no see eh? So where to begin? There's the recent (inevitable) University of Miami football scandal, Justin Verlander's ungodly pitching, The Brawl at Camp Nou, and so on. These weeks have been very turbulent in the time of sports, so let's dig in.
Miami's Mayhem
The University of Miami's football program has been in mounds of NCAA trouble these past weeks. Reports of illegal tax exemption, payouts to collegiate athletes, and corrupt boosters have made the university a prime target for NCAA investigators. Many a commentator have noted that the NCAA have suggested the penalties for these infractions could not only be fines and bans, but the "death penalty", which would be that the Miami football program would lose a whole season of football.
Hot in Detroit
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander has been the consensus best player in baseball in the 2011 season. Not only does he have a 2.28 with 19 wins and only 5 losses, but he has led the Tigers to an AL Central lead in the standings, in prime playoff position. Verlander psychs players out on the mound, and when he pitches, the Tigers have a slim chance of losing.
Barcelona Brawling
Once again, soccer's big boys are at it. Real Madrid's Marcelo committed a gruesome foul on new Barca boy Cesc Fabregas by scissor kicking him (watch here) and the Madridistas and Cules once again attack each other maliciously. Madrid's ace; Mezut Ozil was slapped in the face by Barca striker David Villa, and each head coach Jose Mourinho poked Barcelona assistant Tito Villanova in the face. Truly shameful.
