FCSLit Trivia Answer

It took almost a full day, but we finally got the answer (I told you it was a hard one).

The answer is Scottie Reynolds, 2010 First Team All-American from Villanova. He signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Oklahoma, but the AD released him after the Kelvin Sampson recruiting violation scandal.

Props to @DevlinShepherd and @ishep123 for getting the answer correct.

We will have another one up again in the coming days, so keep an eye out!

FCSLit Trivia Question of the Day (Overnight Edition)

Here is the Trivia Question of the day (we will reveal the answer tomorrow):

Who was the last NCAA basketball Division 1 first-team All-American who changed school commitments before his freshman year? What team did he leave and to what team did he go?

-Committed to one school but after unforeseen circumstances was given a release of scholarship and chose another school before his freshman year.

Abstinence

With 3 players from ASU and USC, the Oakland Raiders wanted to take a stand against youthful sexual endeavors. Ensuring fans that the organization doesn't promote promiscuity in wake of the recent Marc Tyler USB explosion (see story below), the Oakland Raiders made a bold move at the Owner's meetings in Atlanta on Thursday. The Owners voted 31-0 for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, with only the Oakland Raiders abstaining. Owner and President Al Davis said the move was done for the "youth of america." "We wanted to make sure that all of our teens know the Oakland Raiders stance. We wanted to provide an example to children on how to say no, and abstain. Now when faced with difficult decisions all children can point to us and say, 'The Raiders did it, so can I!'" -A Telegraph sent to us by Al Davis, received 4 days after original send

-In related news, Oakland Raiders Wide Receiver Louis Murphy was arrested and charged with illegal possession of Viagra without a valid prescription, according to local authorities. 

University of Sexual Ballers

In an effort to keep up with it's PAC-12 rival University of Sexual Ballers (commonly referred to as the University of Southern California), Arizona State University officially changed its name to A Sexual University, increasing enrollment by 40% while simultaneously making it easier to spell. A University of Arizona student called the decision "old news " saying that he has been getting a "free education from [ASU] every weekend." However, ASU was unsuccessful in acquiring the Trojan mascot from USB(C).

-FCSL could not confirm a report out of the Tempe area claiming that the move was made to block BYU basketball  players from confusing the University for an Accredited Institution of Higher Education. -Marc "breakin bread" Tyler.

LiveStrong make Strong?

Lance Armstrong's lawyers have filed complaints to the government for illegal leaks in confidential government proceedings, causing Armstrong to have a tarnished image. The courts, however, have blocked these complaints, citing new findings in Armstrong's alleged performance-enhancing drug scandal.  Reports reveal that Lance's yellow LiveStrong braclets contain HGH, a human performance hormone only traceable in bloodstream. That's not the only concern though, according to other riders on the tour: "It's so yellow, it blinds me around every corner... how am I supposed to win when he has one of those?", an unnamed rider said. In response, Lance pointed out that you can get them for .99 online at livestrong.org, even revealing the special 10 for 10 dollar deal. -AP.

USA-Japan Ignites Twitter

Although the US Women came up short in their quest to become World Cup Champions, they succeeded in setting a new world record of 7,196 tweets per second during the match.  This number was only 7,195 more tweets per second than when all off America learned the United States had a Women's soccer program; last week. -Marta

FCSLit Trivia Answer

Not including the 1901-1960 Washington Senators (now the Minnesota Twins) or the second Washington Senators (now the Texas Rangers), how many times have the Chicago White Sox been in Washington D.C. since the Nationals became a franchise in 2005?


-While it seems like the answer is none, as the White Sox have never PLAYED in Washington since the inaugural 2005 season, the White Sox as a team have actually been to Washington two times. One in 2006 to celebrate their 2005 World Series win with President George W. Bush, and once in 2009 to meet the "first fan" President Barack Obama.


Good guesses everyone and we'll have another one up again shortly!

Daily Balks

1.) Former Georgia Tech All-American Center Sean Bedford was fined $5,000 after a written criticism of the NCAA regarding its sanctions on the school, stating that he would be willing to "provide [The NCAA] with that same amount of money [$312] (cash or check, your choice) in exchange for the reinstatement of the title my teammates and I earned through our blood, sweat and tears." NCAA spokesman Stacey Osbourne called the letter ridiculous and said that the offered $312 in cash was "insulting and not even close to a legitimate dollar value for reinstatement."  Bedford, enrolled in the University of Florida's law school, plans to take down the institution that "reeks of an organization desperate to prove that it has some sort of control over its member institutions despite lacking the ability and firepower to police the serious offenders and protect the student-athletes whose interests you purport to have at heart."  Osbourne, obviously insulted by Bedford's "cash or check" comment responded to the media on Friday morning: "I am insulted he would even make that statement. It's always Paypal. It always has been and it always will be" -The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

-In related news, Auburn officials invited the NCAA to their recruitment Happy Hour.

2.) 61 year-old Tom Watson carded a hole-in-one on the par 3 sixth hole in Sandwich, Kent at the 2011 British Open on Friday morning. Watson said that he was intrigued by the possibility after reading an "energy-saving" article in the July Issue of AARP the Magazine. The article suggested doing things in less steps, taking more chances, and doing things that would enable one to take more time resting or doing a leisurely activity.  Watson realized that if he made it in using only one swing he could save an average of 2.5 swings a hole, allowing him more time and energy to focus on his Josephine Baker records at home. 27 years since his last major victory, Watson is looking to use this new approach to his advantage on the very hilly and bumpy course.  Looking for "age-appropriate" sponsors, AARP executives have contacted Watson's agent about a possible sponsorship deal. -Golf Digest.

3.) NFL players and Owners have agreed to a new rookie wage scale, the biggest hurdle of the remaining issues forcing the NFL out of operations since May. According to one owner, the deal includes a "birth-right" option, which gives teams the ability to legally adopt players after their 4th year, controlling all monetary and playing rights for the rest of the player's adult life. "Our players are leaving the game earlier and earlier and we wanted to give our less privileged teams an opportunity to take a budding superstar and take away all of his future opportunities," the owner said. When asked how the players could agree to such a heinous idea, Arizona Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill said that it was a matter of time before players realized that "we can pay a 10 year-old to press B, why would we spend millions on another pawn?" Gabrielle Toledano, the Executive Vice President of Human Resources for EA Sports, the parent company of the "Madden" franchise called the decision "monumental" and hopes that players will finally understand "the sheer talent existing in the thumbs of millions of obese children." Steelers linebacker James Harrison called the ruling "pathetic" adding that if his Xbox "was on fire, I wouldn't piss on it."  Commissioner Roger Goodell said that teams will get an additional 10 million in cap space if they acquire 25 or more foster children. According to reports, Michele Bachmann, will be the first to receive the cap space starting in January. -Sports Illustrated.

4.) The United States Women's Soccer Team is not only benefiting from excellent play in the 2011 World Cup, but also from an increased viewership in the science fiction realm. At a Star Wars trilogy gathering in San Bernardino, California last Sunday, a reported 200 Star Wars fans found themselves accidentally watching Hope Solo and the United States women win a thrilling battle with Brazil. "A Solo is always on our side, not the dark one, the other one," a fan explained. I never knew he [Hans] had a cousin. Or a wife. If so, may the force be with him." After the game, the fans vowed to support this new member of the squadron and scheduled a viewing of Solo's 2007 post-game explosion to get ready for future matches. -@ussoccer_wnt

1.) The New York Islanders have sued the New York Rangers for not returning a toothbrush after their sleepover last Wednesday night. The Islanders claim that the Rangers were invited for a gathering in Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, home of the Islanders, and, after the Rangers forgot their sleeping supplies, gave the Rangers one of their own toothbrushes. The report continued, saying that the Rangers called the home a "dump" and a "pathetic place to house guests." With that, the Rangers took the toothbrush and left. The hearing is scheduled for the United States Supreme Court next Wednesday as the opening act for the Roger Clemens Trial. -Reuters

Before getting into the Daily Balks, I wanted to take a minute to let you guys know about a few upcoming additions. Along with Ian Shepherd's upcoming fan shots and Diogo Dutcher's balks, Andrew Brown, Miles Thomas, Ryan Lentini and Dan Andrusko will begin serving as columnists with MO and Jonathan Luecke set to join as hockey analysts.

So stay tuned for all your favorite fake sports literature.  Now onto the balks:

1.) In an attempt to show support for the gay community, former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin posed shirtless on the cover of the newest edition of  Out magazine. Other members of the famed 3-time super bowl champion Cowboys have also shown their support . Emmitt Smith, the hall of fame running back for the team won the 2006 Dancing with the Stars and cornerback and hall of famer Deion Sanders has many a time repped the tan on tan look. Irvin's told reporters that his main audience was the African American population, urging them to soften their hard stance on same sex marriage.  Irvin hopes his scantily clad look will help other straight, black men understand the importance of acceptance.  Asked if Irvin thought he had any gay teammates and what the reaction to them would be, Irvin responded: "We had a bunch of different characters on that team" [...] "Deion [Sanders] and Emmitt [Smith]. I believe that team would have handled it well." -FCSL Exclusive

2.) Derek Jeter has taken himself out of this weekend's all-star festivities citing "emotional and physical exhaustion," due to his chase of hit number 3,000 and the extra weight he has to carry around from his new 56 million dollar contract extension. Jeter also admitted that wearing pinstripes for the entirety of his lengthy career has led to many adverse affects, including experiencing optical illusions on the playing field. "Sometimes when people are moving around fast enough, I start to see things that aren't happening, you know, like those illusion things they show on TV," Jeter said. "It gets bad sometimes, like last week a grounder was hit to third and I started running after it, but I saw A-Rod running for it. I knew I had to be seeing something, because he never runs. So I just called up Minka [Kelly] and told her I needed some time off." -NY Times
-In related news, in an attempt to help Jeter with his on the field illusions, A-Rod underwent successful knee surgery that will give Jeter 4-6 weeks of reprieve.

The town prosecutor in Castle Rock, Colorado was one of three adults charged with third degree assault and disorderly conduct after a melee in a 12 year-old little league baseball tournament. Christy Ausmus, the prosecutor in question, started attacking a parent after she claimed to see the parent putting her son in a headlock: "I hit (the man) as hard as I could, as many times as I could, to get him off my kid [...] "[h]e suffers constant headaches still from the concussion." The Castle Rock Municipal Court reports that Ausmus will serve as her own prosecutor.

1.) Canadian sports doctor Anthony Galea plead guilty to smuggling illegal performance enhancing drugs into the United States in front of U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara on wednesday morning. Galea, connected with high profile clients such as Alex Rodriguez and Tiger Woods, reportedly treated 20 professional athletes with the illegal substances during a span of two years starting in fall 2007. Looks like we are focusing on the wrong border -"The Monkey"

3.) Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley was given a $128 dollar fine for possession of marijuana after a traffic stop in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Surprisingly, Beasley was a bit concerned with the fine, realizing the upcoming lockout will have a bigger impact on his life than he even thought: "When I was making bank, these stops were nothing; but now that I'm not making money for at least a year, I can only afford like, maybe 1, 2, stops a month. It's hard." When asked how he would reduce cost this summer, Beasley responded: "Buy in bulk." -The Minnesotan 


4.) Professional eating champion Takeru Kobayashi was banned from competing at the annual Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Championships on Coney Island because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating, the sponsor of the event. However, Kobayashi held his own competition in Manhattan, consuming 69 Hot Dogs in 12 minutes, breaking the world record of 68 and topping 2011 champion Joey Chesnut's 62. However, because of Kobayashi's refusal to sign a contract, the number is not considered a world record and is not endorsed by the world eating board. Erik the Red Denmark, Crazy Legs Conti, and Allen Goldstein, three good friends of Kobayashi were some of the many eaters sharing their displeasure with the league. With his absence, Kobayashi's roasted pork bun world record seems to be very much in doubt as MLE has been speaking with lawyers to see how to remove (or asterisk) all of his world records: "We have a problem in eating, we eat too much [...] but I will not allow anyone to eat unsigned [...] it just taints this great American pastime." -Internet Blog (why would this ever be in a legitimate publication?)

1.) Racecar driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. has made headlines by complaining about the new-wave "drafting" style of racing, calling it "really weird and kinda wrong on some levels to race that way." Earnhardt, specifically talking about the upcoming Daytona 500, was fuming after placing 19th in his most recent race. Instead, Earnhardt wants to go back to the old style of racing where cars observe the "one car length" rule that most pedestrian drivers abide by. Teammate Jimmie Johnson was not too thrilled with the idea, calling racing a "man's sport" and for Earnhardt to get with the "new-age of racing."  When asked to comment, Earnhardt replied: "I'm not gonna even dignify that a response... a sport? Really?" -NASCAR Weekly.

3.) In an effort to outshine the 2010 NCAA football champion Auburn Tigers, the runner-up Oregon Ducks have announced their own institutional violations, reportedly paying a scout $25,000 to help recruit players. The move isn't a surprise to most who have watched the Ducks in action. One unnamed fan exclaimed: "They'd have to pay me a lot more than that to get me in one of those uniforms." In an effort to win the uniform recruiting battle, Oregon State AD Bob De Carolis decided to offer up a much more chic option. -Oregonian.

Receiving too much exposure on a nationally televised channel, Tennis executives decided on the move to network television in order to "help keep our sporting image hidden from the American populous." -Yahoo Sports.
-In related news, NBC has come to an agreement with the NHL to broadcast more games in the 2011-12 season. Early projections show no change in viewership for the network or league. 

A-Rod's New Love Affair

New York Yankees Third Basemen Alex Rodriquez was quoted as saying New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes is the "world's greatest player playing shortstop [...] and the most exciting." This is not the first time that A-Rod has staked his claim in the Reyes Club, also speaking highly of him in the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

Seen as a backhanded comment to New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, many in the New York area waited for the famed pinstripe to chime in. However, it was Reyes who spoke up first, revealing a dark secret about A-Rod's private life:

"I can't hold it in any longer. A-Rod and I first met in Cabo in '03 when I was a rookie and we've been double play partners ever since. He was always afraid of telling Mikey [Young] (''03 Texas Rangers 2B) and Jeter ('04-present) of our secret turning ability. I don't want to start anything, but he always tells me I release the ball faster than Jeter." 

When FCSL probed A-Rod on this issue he seemed a bit embarrassed and taken aback. "I guess I just wasn't satisfied with the relationship," A-Rod said. "Sure we got outs, but I just didn't feel the pop as much in the glove when I was throwing to him, you know what I mean?"

Reyes also revealed that he hopes to one day play with A-Rod in public, saying: "It's time for the big lights. We've been turning so much in private that I think we've perfected the play. I think it's time." Reyes is scheduled to become a free agent next year and his future with the Mets is certainly in doubt. Where would you two play, Reyes was asked? "Maybe New York, maybe not. I just want to play with my partner."

-Cameron Diaz could not be reached for comment. -Associated Press

Update: 7:20 P.M.: A-Rod and the media had a little run during the interview, reenacting A-Rod's steroid confession speech.
