It took less than a week for Bobby Petrino to get his just desserts.  The 51-year-old Arkansas Razorbacks coach is something of a coaching nomad, holding 15 jobs for 11 different programs in 24 seasons.  Now, he’s got another short stop on his list.  Bobby Petrino is no longer the head coach for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, ending a successful tenure with the team that began in 2007.

Petrino was fired by Athletic Director Jeff Long, who said that Petrino “knowingly misled” his bosses while engaging in reckless and immoral conduct stemming from Petrino’s motorcycle wreck on April 1 and subsequent cover-up.  Basically, he wasn’t fired for the affair, he was fired for hiring his alledged mistress Jessica Dorrell to a football job and lying to his bosses about her presence at the accident and her job with the team.  Which, really, is appropriate.  If anyone working in any job got his mistress a work position, they would probably also be fired.

Petrino, before leaving to coach for the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL, was the coach at the University of Louisville.  He’s a great college football coach, but a terrible scumbag of a person.  Just look at how he’s left his last few jobs; he’s going to elevate your program and win bowl games, but he’ll also do you dirty in the end.  That’s just what Bobby Petrino does.

Is the winning worth the stink of scandal and misconduct?

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.
