I took a Sabbatical from this year’s NCAA basketball tournament focusing on what seemed like a fait accompli: me winning the Powerball jackpot. I went through the typical cycle. The delusions of grandeur. Telling all the superiors at my job where they could go — surprisingly they didn’t get the memo that the T.J. Maxx customer service department was my metaphor for Hades.

Bobby Petrino is no longer the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Athletic Director Jeff Long held a press conference this evening to announce the firing of Petrino.

Arkansas fires Bobby Petrino
I’ll admit, it was difficult determining if this should be added to the 2011 Coaching Carousel, but after getting some feedback and thinking it over I decided the news of Arkansas firing Bobby Petrino deserved to kickstart our 2012 Coaching Carousel.

Ballertainment
The official fallout from Ozzie Guillen’s expression of love for former Cuban President Fidel Castro has begun.
The Miami Marlins have suspended Guillen for five games, without pay.
That may not be good enough, though. Fans and members of the Latino community in Miami are calling for him to be fired.

NMA World Edition’s Petrino firing video report includes oral sex on motorcycle
Ha. Blown off the road, indeed. When I saw the notification that NMA World Edition had published a video report documenting the dismissal of Bobby Petrino by the University of Arkansas after his rocking the cradle of love while on a motorbike scandal became too much of a controversy for the school to bear, well, [...]
Ozzie Guillen Suspended Five Games For Publicly Saying That He Respects Fidel Castro
Remember when Ozzie Guillen said that he respects Fidel Castro? Guillen has been suspended five games because of it.
“The Marlins acknowledge the seriousness of the comments attributed to Guillen,” the team said in a prepared statement announcing the move. “The pain and suffering caused by Fidel Castro cannot be minimized especially in a community filled with victims of the...
Why It’s So Hard to Humble a Guy Like Bobby Petrino
I might be the only Atlanta Falcons fan on earth that still has somewhat of a soft spot for Bobby Petrino. Yes, I think his cowardly ditch of the Falcons when Michael Vick was carted off to face dogfighting charges was epically wrong. But Petrino entertains me with his slick (slimy?) ways–even his press conferences can be things to remember. You know, the kinda things that get...

The most eye-opening thing I've read online this week didn't involve Ozzie Guillen, Bobby Petrino or Facebook buying Instagram for a billion dollars. It was about the American media's fascination with and coverage devoted to women's bodies. And it was written by . . . Ashley Judd.
