REPORT: Notre Dame is the ONLY Football Program with D Students!

Breaking News!!  ND Admits to Having 'D' Student-Athletes!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Wait a minute! Notre Dame has what?!  Student athletes (football players in this case) who allegedly did not turn in their own homework or take home tests?  Editor's note:  Notre Dame has not yet admitted to any wrongdoing just yet.  So the headline above is not 100% accurate but I think they will find out soon enough that these 4 dudes probably did get some help on homework and/or a take home test at some point and suspend them from starting 1 game and will get into the game on the second series.  Actually only 2 of them are starters so maybe they will suspend those other guys for a full game or two.  Either way, I will have been the first person to "know all along" that there was definitely something fishy going on with those tests results in Introduction to Volleyball and First Aid Management 101.  You heard it here first, YO!

I think those are cake pops (almost wrote poops, which would have escaped spell check) pictured above.  Anyway, here's the deal.  With any group of people there are going to be the A students, B students...right on down to the D & F students...known fact.  Heck, even groups of superheroes have 'em.  It's the X-Men have Jubilee (F)...is a little girl who shoots fireworks out of her fingers...Wolverine (A) is virtually indestructible and smokes cigars and is a lumberjack by trade.  The Justice League has Superman (A) who is well as the name leads on...is super and his nickname is The Man of Steel...while Aquaman (F) wears pajamas with fake scales on them and can talk to animals.  Cool story Aquaman...I challenge you to stop me from robbing this bank, no not that one.  The one with the fish tank in it.  Fat chance my friend!  How did it get to this?  Oh right, every team has some D's and F's in their ranks.  I have no problem with it.  Essentially there are schools who at least outwardly try to bring in both the athletically and academically gifted individuals.  I applaud this because the truth of the matter is that even if you make it to the NFL (in this case) you're probably going to have to do something afterwards to live out the rest of your days in style, unless you get some sick Bobby Bonilla type deal where you get paid forever by the Mets...bleh.

I really don't know how this will work out (well I kinda do, I stated that earlier), but in the end Notre Dame needs to remove itself from it's high horse and just come to terms with the fact that college kids cheat on tests and swap answers on homework...the facts are the facts!!

Grilled Cheese Sports Round Up Time!

++  The English Premier League kicked off this morning at 7:45AM with Manchester United taking on Swansea at Old Trafford...and with new Dutch National Team Head Coach Van Gaal at the helm, they lost 2-1 in less than dramatic fashion.  This happened much to the dismay of the Man U faithful who came out to kickoff the '14-'15 campaign in style.

++  There were 3 other home losses this morning alone meaning a lot of unhappy Brits roaming their respective city streets!!

++  And last but not least, Santonio Holmes agrees to a contract of undisclosed terms with the Chicago Bears.  Holmes was practically useless for the Jets last season and has honestly been an all or nothing type player the past few years.  At least he is someone else's problem now...no one cares really

++  Oh wait lastly, this (enjoy your Saturday!!) - 

Happy Watching!!
