Holy $hit! This is the Most Violent Play in Sports History!

Good news, Zaza Pachulia.


You are no longer the dirtiest person playing basketball these days.


Not by a long shot.


Not after what transpired on Tuesday night in a game between Division III teams Fitchburg State and Nichols.


The schools were playing in Massachusetts and everything was going along as it normally does during the course of a basketball game when Nichols guard Nate Tenaglia received a pass in the corner.


He was open, so he fired off a three-pointer.


Just as he releases the ball, however, Fitchburg junior guard Kewan Platt comes flying out of nowhere and DRILLS Tenaglia.



We"re not just talking about some kind of regular hard foul, either.


We"re talking about a flat-out punch to the face, something that lands far outside the realm of a basketball play and into the realm of… illegal activity?


Yes, many on social media (including Michael Rapaport) are calling for Platt to be arrested.


Watch the video here and you"ll immediately see where these folks are coming from.



Tenaglia was able to return to the game and is reportedly doing fine.


But Fitchburg State has suspended Platt and barred him from campus for an unspecified amount of time.


It has also released this statement:


"The Fitchburg State community is appalled by the conduct displayed during Tuesday night’s home basketball game.


"His behavior is antithetical to our community values and good sportsmanship. Fitchburg State does not tolerate behavior that violates those standards.


"The case is being reviewed at the student conduct level for consideration of further sanctions."



We don"t even have a joke to conclude with here.


This foul is just flat out insane.


Watch it for yourself now.

Meghan Markle Accused of Making "Worst Curtsy" in Recorded History

Meghan Markle played a lawyer on the USA Network hit drama Suits.


But criticism continues to pour in regarding the Duchess of Sussex, most notably that she simply cannot play the role of a Royal with the proper respect it deserves.




Over the past several weeks, sources have come down hard on Markle for snubbing various Palace traditions, typically ones associated with fashion and decorum.


And now it seems as if certain people are also taking issue with the way Markle is acting overseas.


The expecting mother and Prince Harry have mostly been receiving rave reviews for their behavior on their ongoing tour — but Markle is coming under fire at the moment for how she greeted Tonga’s King Tupou VI and his wife Queen Nanasipau’u last week.


Specifically, how weakly sue curtsied on front of the powerful couple.


Here is a still shot of the bow in question:






Did Markle get down low enough?


Did she hold her form for long enough?


Did her facial expression make it clear she just wasn’t that into the gesture?


All of the above, Twitter users appear to be saying. Here is a sampling of their most harsh responses to Markle’s lame curtsy:


Those were the two worst curtsies I think I’ve ever seen!


I wonder if maybe she wasn’t sure if she should curtsy? Either way, you gotta commit.


I saw this video on Instagram. Gives the impression she did not know if she should curtsy or not.


That seems plausible, right? It can be tricky to remember all the customs of various nations, especially for someone not raised in such an environment.



In case you somehow haven’t heard, Markle is pregnant.


So it’s also possible that she only gently curtsied in order to protect her fetus.


We really can’t say for certain at the moment.


However, a so-called etiquette expert named William Hanson told The Daily Mail that Markle has a lot to learn about how a Royal should act overall.


He says she sticks her hands into her pockets on far too many occasions.



“We know that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pioneering a new, relaxed, tactile branch of monarchy, but having hands in the pocket is a step too far,” this random critic says, adding:


“There is good casual and there is bad casual.


“Placing a hands in the pocket is too relaxed and unprofessional.”


Markle, of course, is no stranger to criticism.


Just ask her awful half-sister.



We doubt she’ll respond to the backlash she is garnering here, especially because Hanson admits that her actions aren’t actually a big deal.


Not in the grand scheme of life, that is.


“Will the world end? No,” he concludes to The Mail. “It is just a small blip in Meghan’s usually delightful manners that can be easily corrected for future engagements.”


PHEW.

Kailyn Lowry vs. Jenelle Evans: A History of Their Friendship-Turned-Feud


These days, Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans are the most bitter of enemies.


In fact, it often seems that the Teen Mom 2 co-stars can"t go a day without throwing jabs at one another on Twitter.


But believe it or not, it wasn"t always like this.


In fact, there was a time when Kail and Jenelle were not only friends, but kindred spirits.


Dive into the gallery below for a full run-down of how these two went from besties to rivals:




1. Better Days


Jenelle evans and kailyn lowry

In the months after they both found stardom on MTV, Kail and Jenelle became close friends and bonded over their difficult circumstances.



2. Kindred Spirits


Jenelle evans and kailyn lowry photo

In the early days of the 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom franchise, Kail and Jenelle were among the most “at-risk” participants.



3. Always the Rebel


Classic jenelle

Jenelle’s penchant for bad behavior became apparent very early on — and her brushes with the law began before she was old enough to vote.



4. Troubles of Her Own


Classic kailyn

Like Jenelle, Kail clashed with her family beginning at a young age, but unlike Jenelle, she was in no way to blame for the situation.



5. Hard Times


Kailyn lowry jo rivera photo

Kail received little support from her alcoholic mother or other family members, and she came close to homelessness more than once, often relying on the family of boyfriend Jo Rivera for support.



6. A Bonding Experience


Teen mom 2 cast members photo

It was around that time that Jenelle asked Kailyn for a favor that would strengthen the bonds of their friendship …

Audrey Roloff"s Dangerous Driving History: REVEALED!

Audrey Roloff may be the most loving mother in Hollywood.


This is an impossible judgment to make, of course, but the point we want to make before delving into one troubling issue in regard to the ex-Little People, Big World star is this:


She clearly cares a whole lot about her daughter.



Just take one look at Audrey’s Instagram account and read a few words from her about Ember Jean and you’ll agree.


Despite this indisputable point, a handful of Internet users are suddenly concerned about Ember’s safety. And this is why:


It turns out that Roloff is a really bad driver!


Just this past week, Audrey was pulled over and cited for “distracted driving” near her home in Oregon.


According to the Washington County Police Department, officers busted Audrey on Wednesday, August 22, around 9:30 a.m. for using her cell phone while behind the wheel.


She was issued a citation,” Detective Robert Rookhuÿzen told Radar Online, adding:


“It’s illegal to operate a motor vehicle while using your mobile electronic device.”



This has become the case in many states around the country.


It makes sense from a safety standpoint, doesn’t it?


Ember was not in the vehicle at the time of this incident, which Audrey spoke openly about on Instagram.


She sounded a little bit defensive while doing so, too, we must admit, writing to fans:


“If you are holding your phone while you’re driving, even if you’re talking on speaker phone, even if you’re dialing somebody’s [number]…


“it doesn’t matter if you’re at a stoplight or if you’re just looking at your Google Maps to see where you’re going, you cannot pick up your phone while driving.”



Audrey then explained that she now knows this from experience.


“I’m telling you this because I have been in the car with lots of people who pick up their phone to type in an address for Google Maps, or change the song on Spotify, or answer a phone call, or dial the phone, even if they’re talking on speaker or Bluetooth,” she added.


“I just thought I’d pop on here and remind you all, because I was reminded today how dangerous it is to pick up your phone even for a split second.”


Meanwhile, in 2014, Audrey was also pulled over for violating the “basic speed rule,” accordingto Marion County Circuit Court documents obtained by Radar.


She pled no contest at the time and the case was dismissed after she was ordered to pay $ 260 in fines.



ALSO, however, Roloff was found guilty in 2010 “failure to obey traffic control device.”


It is not totally clear what transpired in this case, but a judge ordered her the former reality star to undergo a medical assessment and she was forced to pay $ 120 in fines.


Finally, in April of 2010, Roloff was issued a ticket for speeding.


Taken on their own, each of these incidents is not a big deal.


Even taken as a whole, they don’t exactly represent a menace to society.


But Audrey does have at least some history of driving at least a bit recklessly and she is now a mother, so she does need to be extra careful and aware.


That is all we’re saying.



Audrey and Jeremy Roloff announced last month that they will no longer appear on Little People, Big World.


But they do have a book coming out in 2019 and you’ll be hearing plenty from them moving forward.


For whatever it’s worth, Matt Roloff was arrested for drunk driving in 2007, but later found not guilty.


It was his second DUI citation in four years at the time.

J.R. Smith Commits Dumbest Play in NBA History

LeBron James became the sixth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in an NBA Finals game on Thursday night.


And J.R. Smith became the first player in NBA history to grab an offense rebound under the basket with 4.5 seconds remaining and the game tied in the NBA Finals…


… only to them dribble the ball out beyond the three-point line until the final buzzer sounded and overtime could commence.


This situation really did happen in Game One between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, as George Hill missed his second foul shot with the score knotted at 107 apiece.



Smith, incredibly, grabbed the rebound over Kedin Durant and had a chance to put the ball back in and win the game for Cleveland, propeling them to a shocking one game to zero series lead in the process.


But he elected not to do so.


Instead, he dribbled very far away from the basket and only managed to throw a pass to a teammate when it was way too late and the teammate was way out of position after he heard LeBron screaming at him about the score and the time.


It appeared as if Smith told James right afterward that he thought the Cavs were "ahead" and the game was over.


Alas, it was not.



The Warriors went on to dominate overtime and win the contest 124-114.


"It was a tie ballgame and we had a timeout," Smith told the media afterward, adding of his thinking:


"I tried to get enough space because, obviously, KD was standing right there. I tried to get enough space to bring it out to maybe get a shot off. And then I looked over at Bron, and he looked like he was trying to call a timeout.


"So I stopped. And then the game was over."


There"s no way this explanation is valid.


As you"re about to see below, Smith looked to have no intention of trying to score at all after securing the rebound, despite the seconds ticking away and an upset well within his team"s grasp.


(Thanks to LeBron putting up 51 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, that is.)



But while Cleveland fans may never forgive Smith for this blunder, the Internet is ever so thankful it took place.


Why?


Because it spawned an endless array of amazing memes based on LeBron"s reaction to Smith"s brain fart, such as the one above.


Check out the play below and then decide:


Is this the dumbest thing any professional athlete has ever done during a game of any kind?

Chris Harrison Teases "Most Ridiculous Fight" in History on Bachelorette Premiere

DING! DING! DING!


According to Chris Harrison, it is about to be on next Monday night.


Between whom? This is the question we’re now left to ponder.



Earlier this week, the reality show host with the absolute most stopped and talked to Entertainment Tonight about the May 28 premiere of The Bachelorette.


It will kick off at 8/7c on ABC, but it sounds as if we ought to say the show will PUNCH off instead.


Just consider how Harrison teased the premiere in his chat with the aforementioned gossip and news outlet:


“Maybe the most ridiculous fight you’ve ever seen in the history of our show, which is saying a lot.


It’s just magnificent to watch.


“It’s going to be one of those [seasons where] you’re watching through your fingers because you’re embarrassed for everybody involved, but you can’t stop watching.”


Now THAT’S what we call a tease.


Is it any wonder Chris Harrison is the very best at what he does?



While recent The Bachelorette spoilers have actually revealed the final four men chosen by Becca Kufrin, ABC announced the FULL list of all 28 suitors on Thursday.


We’ve posted their official portraits above and referenced their official occupations.


There are multiple football players… one sports analyst… a guy who plays the banjo… and some dude who says he’s a social media participant.


We somehow doubt the latter is involved in this fight.


“The arrivals are great because, for the guys, it’s very much out of our comfort zone to make these grand entrances,” Harrison also said of the premiere, adding:


“We make fools of ourselves, that’s what we do. And some of these guys do just that.”



Kufrin, of course, has quite the backstory when it comes to this franchise.


She was proposed to by Arie on the season finale of the latest Bachelor season — and then dumped by Arie on the After the Rose Special.


Becca responded in that moment the same way anyone in her situation would respond (Are you f-cking kidding me, she asked Arie many times), but has since handled the public break-up with maturity and grace.


“He’s a good person, I don’t think he’s a monster and purposely did this to hurt me and make me feel this way,” Kurfin told People Magazine shortly after The Bachelor season concluded, adding at the time:


“I don’t think he thought it through, but I don’t think he did it maliciously to break my heart.”



Whatever.


The guy seems like a giant douchebag in our opinion.


But Arie is the past and one of the 28 men featured above is the future.


“Let’s do the damn thing,” Kufrin excitedly says in the following Bachelorette preview, making it clear that she’s ready to move on.


And if she’s ready to move on, so we are. Let’s do the damn thing indeed!


Check out the fun teaser now:
