It's simple - anything sports related.
Maybe it's big sporting news, a picture, a video or a big play/hit that makes you say

Okay, here's what I got:
The Kansas City Royals are leading the World Series 3 games to 1 against the New York Mets.

Emmanuel Moseley was ejected for targeting during the Tennessee Volunteer vs. Kentucky Wildcats NCAA football game (BS calI btw). Watch the video here (not on YouTube yet, so I didn't know how to imbed it. I may have to just put a link up to a website that has it)

http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-foo...s-big-hit/

Finally, this 8 lateral desperation play is Play of the Year candidate. I haven't seen anything this crazy in a loooooooong time (of course, the ACC refs there are as bad as the SEC refs. They completely missed the guy's knee down before the lateral, a player ran into the field without a helmet and several blocks in the back)

Yep.
The American Athletic Conference (ACC) officials in that game, along with the replay official, were all suspended. They cost Duke the game and Miami did not deserve that win.

They beat the BlueJays, so I must give them a grudgingly respectful "booo".

To that, I shall not object to your boo-ing. Personally, I hoped the Cubs would have gone all the way. I'm glad the Yankees didn't win, though.

The last sporting news I remember was when Brazil lost 7 -1 to Germany.

How out of date am I with sports?

Is there anything sports related that isn't completely untrustworthy ?
How are we supposed to enjoy sports when there's always that niggling doubt that everyone is hopped up one something :(

It's gaming and sports related news, but this is a thing: https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Dail...out-4.aspx

The things people do to get attention. This is just dumb.

USFIV tourney going on right now. Got a little bit of time still while they're working out the bracket. Shouldn't take too much longer but if you see this post within 4 hours of its posting, its quite possible that its still going on.
