The LOL & Karma Wrap-Up Edition (11/8 - 11/15)

College Basketball:

Wake Forest fired its wildly popular basketball coach because he had not won any ACC Championships during his short tenure and because he won as many NCAA Championships as every other Wake Forest hoops coach before him: zero.  Athletic Director Ron Wellman hired his longtime friend Jeff Bzdelik to replace Dino Gaudio.  How did it go?  Ask Karma.  Coach Bzdelik became the first Wake Forest coach in 77 years to lose his inaugural game.  Wake's opponent, Stetson, was 7-22 last year and was picked to finish 10th in their 11 team league.  It was also the first home opener loss ever for Wake since they moved to the Joel Coliseum. Guess you should have kept Dino, Ron.  LOL!  Oh yeah, Wake's starting point guard broke his foot and is out for 8-10 weeks. 

Well known shyster John Calipari recruited European professional Enes Kanter to play at Kentucky.  Calipari thought everything was okay since no grades had to be changed.  Thankfully someone at the NCAA was paying attention and ruled the player ineligible.  Given Calipari's record, this is LOL. Of course Calipari is still raking in millions while the kid is SOL.

Soccer:

Former President and soccer expert Bill Clinton is trying to help the United States land the 2022 World Cup.  Although 90% of Americans couldn't care less about soccer, some folks are determined to use tax payer dollars to bring the game stateside.  When asked why he was acting as Honorary Director of the U.S. 2022 World Cup Candidacy since May 2010, Clinton smiled and said, "I hear they got a couple of beret lovin' Jewish girls on the selection committee."



NFL:

Kansas City coach Todd Haley refused to shake Denver coach Josh McDaniels' hand after losing 49-29.  Our state-of-the-art audio equipment was there to capture the sounds:



Haley: Gimme five! Up high! Down low, too slow!

Jacksonville beat Houston after Mike Thomas caught a ball that Houston's Glover Quin tried to knock down as he had been taught.  After the game Quin said, " Sorry coach.  I guess I should have caught it instead.  LOL!"

After costing Wade Phillips his job, Dallas woke up to beat the Giants 33-20.  Dallas receiver Miles Austin told reports, "I guess we had this in us all along.  Sorry Wade. LOL!"

Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco are "me first" players.  How does Karma feel?  Both are having solid years.  Owens has 59 receptions for 834 yards and 7 touchdowns.  Ochocinco has 47/559/3.  Of course their team is 2-7 with six straight loses.

Philadelphia destroyed Washington 59-28 Monday night as Karma ran wild. As you know, Washington sent NFL pundits into an orgasmic orbit during the off season by making Mike Shanahan head coach and trading for perennially unloved Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.  In Week 4, the Redskins beat the aforementioned Eagles.  McNabb celebrated that win and referenced his trade from Philadelphia by saying, "Everybody makes mistakes in their lifetime, and they made one last year."  Oh, Karma did not like that.  Since then Washington is 2-3, including a loss to Detroit in which McNabb was pulled because Rex Grossman knew the 2 minute offense better and/or McNabb was not in good enough shape to run the 2 minute offense (side note: the 'Skins then brought in 300 lb JaMarcus Russell for a workout; how out of shape could McNabb be?). 

Karma has not forgotten Michael Vick either.  Let's take a Karmatic stroll, shall we?  Coming out of college and early in his pro career, Micheal Vick was sending NFL wags into a, you guessed it, orgasmic orbit.  Despite being wildly inaccurate, Vick was being hailed as one of the greatest players.  Vick didn't help matters by repeatedly separating his shoulder from self-congratulatory back patting.  Then Karma stepped in.  She dealt a broken leg, disintegrating fan support, declining numbers, the Ron Mexico incident, flipping off the Atlanta fans, and jail time.  Since serving time for his dog fighting ring, Karma has been on Vick's side. Vick never killed people lick Donte Stallworth and Leonard Little, but fans continue to dislike Vick, so Karma has seen him play lights out this year.  Last night in Washington, Vick threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns, and accounted for six total touchdowns.  Of course whatever Karmatic goodwill Vick had went right out the window when he said, "I've had some great games in my day, but I don't think I've had one quite like this one."  Micheal Vick, expect to see Karma or her cousins Poetic Justice or Irony sometime soon.

College Football:

Cam Newton's dad offers Georgia $1 coupons to Qboda in exchange for letting Auburn win.

Wisconsin hits ten three pointers and scores 47 points in the paint during 83-20 win over Indiana.  Asked about the collapse of his defense, Indiana coach Bill Lynch simply said, "LOL!"
