College football always feels a bit unloved during this time of the year. Everyone’s paying attention to the hardwood and no one seems to remember the joy of football in the fall. Gridiron ambassadors JoPierre Davis and Adrian Clayborn want to remind you that the real action takes place outside.

Davis, a Hawaii cornerback, was slapped with a seven count indictment for sexually harassing a female Hawaii student after breaking in her room last September. Patron saint and best model in Iron City Najeh Davenport says there’s only one reason to break into a lady’s dorm room. That’s to drop a deuce like a Predator drone. Davis followed the break-in by knocking the same girl out on a club dance floor in January “after she slapped him for touching her inappropriately on the dance floor”. He also punched a club worker who tried to break it up.

Clayborn, an Iowa defensive end, was charged with a serious misdemeanor after punching a cabbie who honked at him in January. The incident might have looked a little something like this except the guy outside would have knocked out the guy in the car. Can’t get enough of that video. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz says he’ll allow the law to take its course before he attempts to cover up the incident and pretend it never happened. As Bobby Bowden says, “Boys will be boys! Ain’t that right, Warrick?”

Better hurry up if you want to make sweet love to a pelican or a marlin in Florida. Bestiality’s about to become a third-degree felony on October 1 if the Florida legislature has its way. Note the first sentence of the article. “Florida lawmakers have again pitched a bill that it would make it a felony to have sex with animals”. Maybe the 45th time’s a charm. Only in Florida.

Manny Pacquiao beating David Diaz like he ate his dog.

We introduced you to the strange world of Manny Pacquiao earlier this month in a post which detailed his obsession with Queen Elizabeth and his singing career which includes singing backup for the Black Eyed Peas. Don’t get us started on his odd yet seemingly effective training habits. He’s quickly becoming a favorite of the Deuce and Mexican boxing fans who figure they better join him if they can’t beat him.

The Daily Star adds to the legend of the Mexicutioner by uncovering his inspiration for becoming a boxer. Pacquiao was born a poor, black boy in the Philippines but he didn’t start boxing to feed himself or his family….well, directly. He ran away from home after seeing his father eat his dog.

Trainer Freddy Roach described the experience as being too much for the future world champion.

“That’s why Manny ran away from home and became a boxer. He saw his dad eat his dog.

“The Philippines is a poor place, there’s no welfare, no health system and if you don’t have a job or money then …

“Manny was 14. He was very upset and that’s why he ran away from home. He ran away to Manila and ended up in a boxing gym.”

One can see how “Get at me, dog” could be heard as “Get at me dog” especially if the listener is hungry like Manny’s dad, Rosalio was when he went after his son’s dog. Little did he know he created a killer who strikes more fear in the hearts of Mexicans than the combination of El Guapo and the chupacabra.

The Cutler to Washington rumors start … now. Denials plus no extension for Jason Campbell means 7-9 next season. Maybe Jim Zorn can install a new offense before training camp while he’s at it. Jason Campbell plays better when he’s unsettled.

Piped in music and fake crowd noise used to be the domain of American indoor sports especially the NBA. No longer. As the Guardian noted, “Manchester United’s humiliation last Saturday started long before kick-off”. Check this pathetic display by the in-house DJ to rally the crowd. To call this song shit would be an insult to poop.

United went on to lose 4-1 to Liverpool. A fate well deserved. In case you were wondering, they lost 2-0 to Fulham this past Saturday and finished the game with nine men after Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney were sent off. Karma is a cold unforgiving bitch. Let this be a lesson to the rest of the league.

** Don’t worry. We’ll get in a Long-EZ joke next time anything John Denver related comes up in a post.
