LATEST STORIES FROM THE VICTORY FORMATION
Ben McLemore admits to something but not really anything
A couple of weeks ago there was a USA Today report wherein Ben McLemore’s AAU coach claimed to have funneled money from… a guy who helps players find agents at a non-profit basketball thing for helping basketball players find agents or something. I wrote about it here. Remember? We all chuckled to ourselves and said, “Well of course a SHAMateur athlete took money from some...
Report: Deal for Freeney nearing completion with the Chargers
The San Diego Chargers didn’t make a lot of noise this offseason in terms of roster movement, with the exception of their second round draft pick on defense. But they are nearing a very notable signing after visiting with Dwight Freeney earlier in the week. According to a report from CBS Sports Jason La Canfora, the Chargers are close to completing a deal with the longtime former...
LEFT CAPRIS AT HOME
D-Wade attends prom with clever invitee
The Miami Heat and Dwyane Wade are waiting to find out who they will play in the Eastern Conference Finals, and find some extra time on their hands. Wade, who has been the face of the Heat franchise for the past 10 years, found a way to make a young girl’s high school prom more memorable than she could ever imagine by granting her request to be her date to it. According to NBCMiami...

Chokeslam the debt 2014!
We here at TVF love wrestling. One of the biggest personalities on WWE is wrestler Glenn Jacobs, better known as “Kane”, a loveable(?) giant whose character has recently been involved in fantastic storylines involving a love triangle, an unlikely partnership and a championship, albeit a tag team one. Now picture that same man, wearing a suit and going to Congress. No it’s not...

FLIP YA FOR REAL
LSU player upended on inside-the-park HR
One of the more exciting plays for fans to watch in the middle of baseball game than someone who is streaking around the bases for an inside-the-park home run. It isn’t that it is extremely rare, but it certainly isn’t a common occurence. After all, it isn’t as if anyone is even hitting as many triple as doubles or even home runs. Raph Rhymes of LSU had just a little bit of...
2013 NBA Playoffs – Western Conference Finals
One half of the Western Conference finalists is as expected, the San Antonio Spurs. But the other half has crashed the party, the Memphis Grizzlies. Now who knows if the Grizzlies would have gotten past the Thunder with Russell Westbrook, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the Grizzlies are playing outstanding basketball, and in many people’s minds will be the favorites...
Kyle Love’s Life Keeps Getting Worse
In a cruel-seeming roster action yesterday, the Patriots released Defensive Tackle Kyle Love after he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. The move was at least slightly controversial, in that it would be completely illegal for most employers to fire…Read more →
Bucs already hinting at a change at QB
The feeling that Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano is not enamored with Josh Freeman as his starting quarterback appeared to have spread to the front office when the Bucs spent their third-round pick on Mike Glennon out of NC State. Not only did the Bucs have Glennon rated as the best QB in last month’s NFL Draft, but they appear ready to fast track him to the starting...
Another Jet player fired his agent because he was drafted too low
We thought Geno Smith was out of his mind a couple of weeks ago when it was announced that he was parting ways with his old agents because he didn’t go #1 overall in last month’s NFL Draft. But at the same time, we could understand that if he was convinced by his agents that he would at least be a first round pick, he had every right to be upset with them. We don’t feel the...
Come fly (fall) with Eagles’ coach Ron English so the team can get a bathroom
You will have to excuse Eastern Michigan head coach Ron English. He might be living a little crazy these days thanks in part to another double-digit losing season in Ypsilanti, MI. Ya see, besides a 2011 season in which the Eagles finish .500 overall and in the MAC, it’s been a rough go. Definitely not as fun as it was for him when he was an assistant just 10 minutes down the road...
Happy Hour – Same Old Craps
The Washington Capitals have quite the tortured history when it comes to the playoffs. They are nationally known as choking dogs, a team that can never feel safe when having a 3-1 or 3-2 series lead. The one year they made a run to the Stanley Cup finals, they managed to never have to play a Game 7, which helped their cause. Despite this knowledge, Capitals fans remained way too...
BLOCK PARTY
Derek Jeter's amazing Lego portrait
You may have seen a couple of days ago the matchstick made Yankee Stadium. That took years to build and is pretty amazing, especially as to how detailed it was. Well, we have already seen something that comes pretty close to topping it. A Derek Jeter portrait that is simply amazing, as it is made entirely out of Legos. The New York Yankees shortstop has never looked as clutch as...
Members of college baseball team save baby’s life
Sheetz is this large oasis of a gas station all throughout Pennsylvania. While you fill up, it has just about everything you can imagine inside the store to refresh. It is like its own service station you find on the thruways. A group of college baseball players from Millersville University were on their way to one in Johnstown, PA where they were participating in a tournament when...
The Giants showing interest in Charles Woodson
Teams are expressing interest in in Charles Woodson this offseason, but it appears to be a lot of tire kicking. There is a new team getting into the mix with feelers, and it is the New York Giants according to Woodson’s agent Carl Poston via Josina Anderson: Just received another Charles Woodson update:”The Giants have just put their toe in the water again for Charles Woodson...
TEARS OF A CLOWN
Joker Phillips continues social media hijinks
Members of the Florida Gators coaching staff are continuing with their ridiculous tweets in an attempt to lure recruits to Gainesville. All of them are accompanied with the hashtag, #comeplayforthejoker. We’ve seen Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholsen’s Joker, we’ve seen a Kentucky Derby race horse, and even Harry Potter. Now we have the Jokers band. Sigh: From what we understand...
There aren’t enough bullets in the chamber to run the Pistol in K.C.
A couple of days ago the Kansas City Chiefs hired former Nevada coach Chris Ault to work with Andy Reid, and presumably try to install the pistol offense in Kansas City next year. On a post on a another blog I stated that I wasn’t so sure the Pistol was going to work in Kansas City just because the coach was hired that installed it at the University of Nevada, and I was more...
Thunder fans show their team enormous support despite loss (Watch)
It wasn’t supposed to end this way. The Oklahoma City Thunder were supposed to get a rematch with the Heat in the NBA Finals. That’s the way it looked until Russell Westbrook suffered a slight tear of his right meniscus in the team’s first round series against the Rockets. They were able to move to the second round behind out of this world play by superstar Kevin Durant, but...
MONEY DESIGN
Fan shows off ridiculous Floyd Mayweather tattoo
At times, us sports fans often forget that the word “fan” is short for “fanatic,” as in crazy person. Luckily, every once in a while a true fanatic comes along to keep the rest of us grounded: Floyd Mayweather might want to start looking into getting a restraining order. Eh, actually, knowing ‘Money’ he is probably receiving royalties for this. H/T Floyd Mayweather/Instagram
END OF THE ROAD
David Garrard ready to call it quits
The former Jacksonville signal caller expected to compete for the Jets' starting QB job, but now he says his knee isn't allowing him to continue on with his NFL career.
This may be the greatest celebration fail of all-time
We’ve seen a lot of blunders over the years when athletes think they have something all wrapped up. Who will ever forget Leon Lett about to score in the Super Bowl, only to have Don Beebe slap mustard on his hot-dogging? Or what about Gus Frerotte knocking himself out of a game by concussing himself with a head slam against the wall? While some may want to argue that Lett’s celebration...
Replacement ref who called the Hail Mary TD in Seattle will be an ump at Richard Sherman’s softball game
It seems that Richard Sherman is still very appreciative of Lance Easley. You remember old Lance. He was the guy that said Golden Tate caught the ball and awarded the Seattle Seahawks with a Hail Mary touchdown to win the game over the Green Bay Packers. This was the catalyst that sent the NFL into overtime in their negotiations to strike a deal with the actual referees after fans...
Steve Carlton takes a shot at Nolan Ryan
Hall of Famer and former Philadelphia Phillies pithcer Steve Carlton was one of the most dominant pitchers of his era, and of all-time. He captured 4 Cy Young awards, while winning 329 games over 24 MLB seasons. Carlton also retired only second to Nolan Ryan in career strikeouts, and now stands fourth all-time on that list. Ryan finished his career with 5 fewer wins in three addtional...
Report: Rolando McClain retires from the NFL
He was trying for a fresh start with the Baltimore Ravens, but former 1st round pick Rolando McClain is retiring from the NFL at the age of 23, according to BaltimoreRavens.com. The former Butkus Award-winner never lived up to the high expectations that came with him after leaving Alabama and being selected as the eighth-overall pick in 2010. While with the Raiders, McClain started...
