Tough Moment For Boston College Basketball Senior


This video of this Boston College senior basketball player, just about sums up the Eagles season. In the postgame interview following Boston College blowout loss against Florida State in the first round of the ACC Tournament in Washington D.C., William Clifford the 7 foot senior had an emotional and sad moment. When Clifford was asked what his best memory and what he will miss most about Boston College basketball, he proceeded to cry and then say, "Going out to eat". That is a tough one too swallow for Boston College but what kind of answer do you expect after the team just went winless (0-19) in conference play. Sad, but true. Boston College athletics had one if not the worst seasons in both basketball in football as they won a combined 0 games in conference play. After this season they don't even belong in division 1 athletics anymore as they were a complete embarrassment.
The funniest part about it is how when Boston College did go out to eat at chipotle they got E-coli just a tough one to swallow for BC. On the bright side things can only go up from here for them.

Holly Holm Put To Sleep

Holly Holm was in the spotlight for a little bit and was one of the hottest topics in women's fighting after her win over Ronda Rousey. Over the weekend Holm fought Meisha Tate and it was a tremendous fight with shots being thrown one after another at each other. This fight was worth the money you had to pay for paper view, as you saw these two fighters leave it all out there. Literally, the only way you were gonna stop Holm was to put her to sleep and make her stop fighting. That is just what Tate did, as she choked Holm out and literally put her to sleep. Awesome fight and all the respect in the world to Holm as she lost as a true warrior.
Love the tactic where Holm just threw punches until she couldn't throw anymore, looking good in defeat is something only the greats know how to do and even though she lost this fight she earns a lot of respect from the people watching and other fighters.

Steph Curry Ties The NBA Record For Most 3s In A Game With Game Winner In Overtime

Steph Curry put the league on notice once again as he poured in 46 points and a game winning three pointer from just around half court with .6 seconds left in overtime. That three was one of many as he went on to hit 12 threes which ties the NBA record for most 3s in a single game. A game where the Thunder led the whole game except for a few moments was single handily taken away by Steph Curry as no one in the gym could stop him from making three after three after three. In a season where the Warriors have had the best start in NBA history through February, they are led by arguably the best player in the game right now as every night he is must see television. Curry has already broken the record for most three pointers in a single season this year and their is still plenty of basketball to play before the season is over. It seems like every night he is good for at least 40 points. We all witnessed that again on Saturday as they got by the Thunder 121-118 on Curry's shoulders. Here is some of his ridiculous threes down the stretch that won the Warriors the game

Girls Basketball Team Wins 108-1

In Cleveland Ohio, the Gilmour girls basketball team recorded a win this past Wednesday over Northeast Ohio Prep in a Division III North Ridgeville Sectional semifinal. However it wasn't just any win, the Gilmour girls team caught national headlines because of the final score of this game; 108-1. Winning by 107 points and only allowing a free throw to drop in as the other teams only point. When Gilmour's coach was asked about the game he said, "Our intent was to not run anything up, and we took steps not to disrespect our opponent." "They went 0-28 from the field and 1-4 from the free throw line. We let them shoot."Shocking reaction from the coach, and honestly I liked how he had absolutely no sympathy for absolutely manhandling the other team. It was honestly the best reaction the winning coach could have given them, if he said something like "They played their hearts out" I would find that more disrespectful to the opposing team because nobody should lose a game 108-1. He told it straight up he said the other team just couldn't make shots and thats not his fault, and felt that his team played the game the right way even though the score might not reflect it. If you just took a glance at the photo above and didn't look at the scoreboard you couldn't tell what honestly happened in this game or who was the winning team. Absolutely no emotions being shown from either side. Lastly, another thing that shocks me the most was that it wasn't like they were playing an awful team, they were in the playoffs playing in the sectional semifinal game. Just mind blowing how the team who lost this game even made it that far.

MLB All Star Game Was Most Viewed All Star Game Of All Sports This Past Year

All Star Game viewership:
MLB All Star Game (2015): 10.9 million viewers.Pro Bowl (2016): 8.0MNBA (2016): 7.6MNHL (2016): 1.6M

This past year in sports it was shown through viewers that the most watched All Star Game of any sport was the MLB All Star Game. In my opinion, I feel like Major League Baseballs All Star game is the only All Star game that is taken seriously and the players actually have something to play for. The winning division being the National League or American League, has their respective teams in those divisions who make it to the World Series get home field advantage. This is a big deal for most teams, as we most recently saw the Kansas City Royals granted home field advantage over the New York Mets because the American League defeated the National League in the All Star Game. The Royals jumped out to a 2-0 series lead in the World Series and ultimately the home field advantage proved its case as it played a factor for the Royals to jump out and take the first two games.
The rest of the All Star Games such as the Pro Bowl, NBA, and NHL have no significant meaning to them and it is just a time to see the best players in their respective sport go out and laugh and have a good time with really no concern about winning the game. There was a huge drop off in views as the NHL trailed the second to last NBA in viewers by a whopping 6 million viewers, however I can't say that is surprising to me.
Other than the MLB All Star Game the All Star Games are just a time to share laughs and fool around and try to put on a good show for the fans.

Johnny Footballs Agent Drops Him


Johnny Manziel or better known as Johnny Football, sees his NFL career take another step in the wrong direction as this past week Manziel's agent Erik Burkhardt terminated his professional relationship with Manziel. Burkhardt claims that he will still remain close and friends with Johnny but can no longer go forward in helping and backing him up as his agent. Manuel has had an awful NFL career so far and things look like that are taking a turn for the worst as the Cleveland Browns have told reporters and spread rumors that Manziel's time in Cleveland is done and he will most likely not be playing for the Browns next season. Unfortunately for Manziel if the Browns do in fact release him, people around the league are not sure if he will get another chance with another organization. Manziel being known for partying all the time and not taking his team seriously has cost him. This past season he entered a rehab facility to try and turn his life around but that only last so long as Manziel was out partying once again for most of the season and was late or did no show up to team meetings causing the Browns organization to grow restless with Johnny Football. This past weekend Manziel was accused of allegedly beating up his girlfriend and dragging her around by the hair. After this news spread, shortly after Burkhardt decided it was time to part ways with Johnny. In a recent report Manziel's father told reporters that if his son doesn't go and get help now he might not live to see his 24th birthday. Kinda crazy for the guy who was a living legend and college and supposed to be the next big superstar in the NFL, not only might his football career be over but his life could be in serious danger if he continues down this path. Best of luck Johnny.

Capitals player KILLS REF

https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/B0982378781304344676933246976_4b4ffe41fbb.5.1.17670672033567185470.mp4?versionId=nA7sK0bT7r.ZdL0pGAUN.RdPOGseUQn9

When I saw this video first I was in shock, that Capitals player Dennis Wideman absolutely buried this official. People saying this was an accident are absolutely out of their minds, Wideman intentionally took his rage out on this official and drilled him from behind. People are saying that this linesman missed the call so he was just coming for payback. People defending Wideman are crazy, I like to see tough hard hits between the players but there is absolutely no need to basically kill a linesman cause your a little angry about a missed call. Wideman should get thrown out of the league for this stunt he pulled even though he apologized this hit was vicious. Wideman said "I was just trying to get off the ice. And, at the last second, I looked up and saw him." He also said, it was "unintentional." I mean I'm not an expert but this hit is not unintentional and saying I didn't see him is a poor excuse. They gotta throw the rule book at him here and come down hard and at least suspend him for the rest of the season. At least.
