SPORTS! (http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/union-news/rugby-star-facing-axe-murder-charges-20110331-1cgwn.html)QuoteRugby star facing axe murder charges
A former top South African rugby player has allegedly hacked three people to death in a revenge attack after his daughter was reportedly gang-raped and infected with HIV.
The 34-year-old, who reportedly played for the Blue Bulls but has not been named, is due to appear in court today (AEDT) in Durban on three murder charges and one of attempted murder.
The three people were reportedly butchered with an axe last week. One person was decapitated and the head found in a dustbin nearly two kilometres away.
It is alleged the man stalked his victims for several days.
A man reported to have escaped from being killed said his attacker said he was avenging the rape of his daughter.
Lamontville resident Khangelani Mdluli, 27, said the man had also said "you infected my daughter with HIV".
A teenager, Siyanda Khumalo, told South Africa's Independent newspaper that he too allegedly narrowly escaped being killed by the man.
"I heard someone walking behind me and when I turned he slowed down," Khumalo, who said he had been working home from a friend's house about 9pm on Monday last week, told the Independent.
The man told Khumalo to stop walking, but when he sped up instead, the man allegedly threw an axe at his back.
"I tried to duck the axe, but I was hit on the back. When he tried to grab me, I ducked and ran as fast as I could," he said.
"I am so relieved that I can talk about this. If he got me, he would have killed me."
Police spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Vincent Mdunge told a Sowetan newspaper they had recovered an axe "which we believe is the murder weapon, clothes with blood stains and a hired car that we suspect he could have used during the alleged attacks".
"He is currently being detained in one of our police stations. We can't disclose where for security reasons," Mdunge said.
"He will be charged formally with three counts of murder with aggravating circumstances and one of attempted murder."
Under South African law, police are not permitted to name a suspect in a crime until they have appeared in court.
The Cape Argus said the former player's identity was known by journalists but would be withheld to protect his daughter.

There was once this website that went up named after an awkward saying announcers said for balls fouled off, but I think the guy who runs that site died, or something. Either that or Nike got tired of his running updates and shipped him off to a Filipino sweatshop, in which case he will die from an IED triggered by an iPhone.

This could pass as a onion article, yet isn't. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6451796)
"An "Outside the Lines" investigation found such scenes several times last fall in the South Florida Youth Football League, which is made up of 30,000 children ages 5 to 15 from Palm Beach to Miami. In the packed crowds, OTL producers saw men holding stacks of bills -- often in large denominations -- as they watched the games. Using hidden cameras, OTL recorded the men openly exchanging money with one another, even as they were just a few feet away from a uniformed police officer in one instance. But the exchange of money in the stands was the small stuff, OTL found -- sometimes the games had tens of thousands of dollars bet on them, and players were often paid for making big plays.:

This does go back to BC's dead horse than Ron Guenther sucks as an AD and schedules awful, awful nonconference games. The Missouri series is over, right? Thank God. I still can't fathom why either side did the Fresno State home and home. Can I still think Zook is mostly a bumbling fool (although an outstanding recruiter) while Pat Fitzgerald isn't that great? Can I have both? Hopefully Zook has finally saved himself by adding competent and powerful coordinators who can limit his actual in-game responsibilities.

They can beat Iowa. That's about it. Fitzgerald has kept the program on the track that Randy Walker laid for it. It's alot like Bill Snyder's turnaround at Kansas State. Have an innovative offense that utilizes bad matchups in order to hide the lack of talent, schedule an incredibly soft slate of nonconference opponents, pull off occasional upset, enjoy mid-tier bowl and maybe even occasionally overachieve all the way to one of the big ones.
Both Zook and Fitz are bad coaches.

This might belong in the "I Admit It" thread, but I have to admit I kinda think Pat Fitzgerald's a chode.
Why would that be something you'd have to "admit"?
Because on the surface he seems to have the entire package--all American kid, Catholic League product, played on Northwestern's first bowl team in decades, graduated from the school, now coaches the team, has a hot wife and all-American looking family, the guy's straight as an arrow, has a haircut you could set your watch to etc...to criticize him seems Un-American, and yet there's something about the guy amidst all of that wholesomeness that just grates on me. Is that okay with you, Arbiter of all Acceptable Online Musings?
When did you start hating America? Was it before or after you started rooting for the Packers?
Don't you pay attention to your memes, TJ. I've
always rooted for the Packers.

So now Illinois is holding up Northwestern as the standard for how its football team should be judged? What a world we live in...
Meh. I kind of agree that Fitzgerald isn't a supergreat coach at this point. He makes a lot of decisions that drive me insane. But as a recruiter and to a much-less-important extent the Face of the University™, he's excellent. Probably the best coach we're going to get, and he wants to be here, so why not? I'll save my joyful positive for when he starts winning bowls. I'm much more interested in the desperately needed facilities upgrades.

Forever called. They wanted to make sure you remember that Illinois has been garbage in football since like...a long, long time ago.
So the dude that this article tweaked posted a rebuttal (http://bit.ly/iZ6TsB). I'll be damned if a good chunk of it doesn't make a whole lick of sense.
The one glaring mistake is that he pegs Illinois as a football team where the fans and team itself expect to compete for a Big Ten title every season. Um, what? Try never. Every time they've won the Big Ten since I've been alive has been a complete fluke.

I'm not saying he's right or that anyone should ask until he fails a drug test or something, but jesus. He slugged under .500 in the minors and all the way up until last year. Where'd this come from?
QuoteHe slugged under .500 in the minors and all the way up until last year. Where'd this come from?
He doesn't look like a typical PED user, though. That's a pretty loose statement because I don't really see him as being a treetrunk forearmed 8-gallon head type, but to me I remember him with the Pirates and I've seen plenty of his swings as a Blue Jay and I just think he figured it out. His swing, stance and timing all seem to be perfect. I don't know, maybe that's a symptom of PED use in itself?

The idea that PEDs on their own will produce exceptional performance is laughable - you have to have the swing, stance and timing to begin with. However, the idea that you can continue to perform as he's doing without PEDs is equally laughable...

First off. ALL professional athletes have done PEDs except for Frank Thomas.
Secondly, I've been following him closely since I snatched him off the waiver wire early last season. From what I've read, he altered his swing during the second half of 2008 and has seen increased power numbers ever since due to better leverage and plate coverage. He's moved closer to the plate so he can reach the balls on the outer half and drive them.

Indeed he did. Which would explain how he became a .300 hitter in his late 20s-early 30s. PEDs alone will not make someone a great hitter. Ask any turd slumping around at AAA with an assful of needle marks and a teste satchel of raisins. Stating that somebody in baseball did roids is like saying somebody in politics lied.

Congress and Selig cleaned up the game though, no one uses PEDs anymore. That's what makes Bautista's numbers so interesting.

Where's the Heckler in all this (http://www.sportspickle.com/news/6375/mlb-suspends-jose-bautista-just-to-be-safe)?
"In Jose's defense, he has never failed a drug test," said commissioner Bud Selig. "On the other hand, last year at age 29 he suddenly transformed from an established turd of a player with middling home run ability into the most dominating power force the sport has seen in a decade. Sooooooooo ... yeah."
"...established turd..." Is this a new baseball category?

Not new. It's been around since Mary Magdeline and Jesus.
But any reasoning about Bautista's home run surge being the result of PED use is based on an assumption that he wasn't on it prior to 2009. That's fucking meatball shit.
