Giorgio Chiellini shows off his bite mark courtesy of Luis Suarez.

Usually when you hear about biting, it takes place under some strange circumstances.  Man bites dog stories are pretty common, especially during dog attack events, but you also hear about people biting one another in bar fights and other types of situations.  Very rarely do you hear about biting in a sports sense, but when you’re dealing with the most important event in the soccer/football universe, anything can happen on the pitch when passions run high and you’ve got someone with a history of inappropriate biting around.  Luis Suarez might be facing a ban from the World Cup by FIFA after biting Giorgio Chiellini during a 1-o win by Uruguay over Italy.

“I want to say that if he’s attacked, as it has begun in this press conference, we’ll also defend him, because this is a football World Cup, not of cheap morality,” said Uruguay’s coach, Oscar Tabarez.  

In case you haven’t heard, this is not Luis Suarez’s first time nibbling on someone during the run of play.  In 2010 while playing in the Netherlands he bit an opponent, and he repeated that action in 2012 while playing in England for Liverpool.  He’s also spent time off the pitch for racist language towards opponents.  Now, he faces a ban on the biggest stage of any footballer’s career, and it’s after a couple of good years of image rehabilitation on behalf of Suarez by his team of handlers.  Kiss, or bite, all that good work goodbye.

Now, Uruguay must rest up and prepare for the knock-out stage while Italy is getting sent home in defeat.  As for Luis Suarez, his fate is yet to be decided.

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.
