NCAA: Rutgers Fires Men’s Basketball Coach Mike Rice

Well duh.  This should have been done immediately.  In several dozen hours of video of Rutgers mens basketball practices, coach Mike Rice was seen hurling basketballs from close range at his players’ heads, legs and feet; shoving and grabbing his players; feigning punching them; kicking them; and screaming obscenities and homophobic slurs.  Mike Rice has now been fired.  Details after the jump…


(Video & Pics) NBA: Rejected! The Obamas Have a ‘Kiss Cam’ Moment

Sabrina B. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were caught by the “Kiss Cam” not once but twice, and it seems they may have needed a little urging from the audience to smooch in front of all the fans while cheering on the USA Basketball Olympic team in Washington, D.C. When the Kiss Cam caught them the first time, the first couple smiled but wouldn’t kiss. It seems as if Obama went close for the kiss, but Michelle shook her head no. The crowd booed. Later in the game, the Cam landed on them again. This time, the president, with his arm around his wife, gave her a peck on the lips. The crowd cheered, and shouts of “four more years” could be heard.
