Bobby Petrino, looking worse for wear after his motorcycle wreck.

While speeding down Arkansas Highway 16, about 20 miles south of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Arkansas Razorbacks head football coach Bobby Petrino skidded on the asphalt, lost control of the motorcycle, and suffered a serious wreck on Sunday, April 1.  That’s not what got Petrino, who has rebuilt the Arkansas program into a place where quarterbacks go to the NFL and the Razorbacks play in bowls, into trouble with his administration.  Petrino was riding the motorcycle with Jessica Dorrell, a 25-year-old former volleyball player and football employee.  As it turns out, their relationship was a little… ahem, nonprofessional.

“I will fully cooperate with the university throughout this process and my hope is to repair my relationships with my family, my athletic director, the Razorback Nation and remain the head coach of the Razorbacks,” read a statement issued by Petrino via the University of Arkansas.  He later added, “I have been in constant pain, medicated and the circumstances involving the wreck have come out in bits and pieces.  That said, I certainly had a concern about Jessica Dorrell’s name being revealed.  In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details.  Today, I’ve acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration.”

Let’s see, a multi-millionaire with an ego problem (and that’s definitely Petrino, and probably every other collage football coach) and a pretty young girl are riding a motorcycle together… yeah, I’d say that’s not the kind of relationship Petrino’s wife would appreciate.  Still, it wasn’t his personal foibles that got him suspended, it was his attempt to cover up his activities that got him suspended from his multi-million-dollar job.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
