Major League Eating We Wanna Eat That 2,800 Pound Steer ... in the Name of Sports!!

Major League Eating We Wanna Eat That 2,800 Pound Steer ... in the Name of Sports!!

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.

Lauren Swanson Sports Short Skirt, Stuns Duggar Fans

It’s been three months since Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson got engaged, but thus far, the couple has managed to keep a tight lid on their wedding plans.

The upside of all that secrecy is that the young lovebirds won’t have to worry about party crashers whenever they tie the knot.

The downside is that it’s got fans obsessing over the couple’s every move even more than usual.

And it seems the situation is particularly burdensome or Lauren, who’s not accustomed to the sort of scrutiny that’s been a part of Josiah’s life since childhood.

Josiah posted the above photo to his Instagram page, and it quickly attracted a surprising amount of attention.

“I didn’t know badminton could make me break a sweat… until I played Lauren!” he captioned the pic.

So the soon-to-be newlyweds got in a round of badminton on his family’s compound.

Sounds innocent enough right?

(Well, except for the “compound” part. That’s just a sinister-sounding word.)

But as many fans were quick to point out, this pic is downright pornographic by Duggar standards.

If you’re familiar with the infamous Duggar dress code, then we probably don’t need to tell you what the issue here is.

Lauren’s skirt might not be short by the rest of the world’s standards, but in Duggarland, it doesn’t pass muster.

Until they’re married (at which point, their husbands decide what sort of attire is permissible), Duggar women are required to wear long skirts at all times, even when playing sports or engaging in other outdoor activities.

Fans quickly zeroed in on the violation, with many pointing out that Lauren gets by on a technicality — she’s not a Duggar …. yet.

But she has been approved by Jim Bob and Michelle, and she probably wouldn’t have passed that test if she didn’t share the majority of their fundamentalist values.

Of course, there have been reports about Josiah rebelling against his parents, so perhaps they had little say in his choice of life partner.

Whatever the case, it seems Josiah and Lauren’s wedding might be coming up much sooner than expected.

Despite rumors that the nuptials had been delayed until December, one commenter in a Duggar-related Reddit forum claims to have firsthand knowledge that the couple will be exchanging vows in the very near future:

“I met Jim Bob and Michelle yesterday, and Michelle mentioned a few times that Josiah’s wedding is in two weeks!” the user wrote.

We’d say Lauren better rock those short skirts while she can, but something tells us this couple won’t be eager to fall in line with Jim Bob’s rules.
