Sports this 'n' that

 This has to be seen to be believed:

Edit, 1/23/24: The video was deleted.

Seems the McCamey High catcher was having a bad day, and while she wasn't ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct (throwing the ball at the batter's head), this incident is still being investigated. We've seen parents go postal on umpires and opposing players, but this is just ridiculous. Suffice to say, McCamey was eliminated from the playoffs by losing the game.
=============================================
With NFL schedules being rolled out Thursday, some teams are doing some pretty odd things.

For example, the Chicago Bears called on superfan Seth Rollins from WWE to help with their presentation. Rollins (Colby Lopez) is a native of Davenport, Iowa, but a big time Bears (and we must assume also Cubs) fan. Not to be outdone, the Cleveland Browns got help from local native Michael "The Miz" Mizanin for an animated hype video that we'll post over at Saturday Morning Archives later on. Even though he calls LA home these days, Miz will wear his fandom for the Browns, Guardians, and Cavaliers forever.
================================================
A week ago, some AEW wrestlers disrupted the Washington Nationals' Presidents Race in order to promote AEW being in the area. AEW International Champ Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Kris Statlander, and Wheeler Yuta appeared to impede some of the costumed racers. 



AEW fans are taking this as a sign that Statlander, who has been on the injured list for months, might be ready to return.
====================================================
AEW/Ring of Honor wrestler Mark Briscoe shared the story the other day about why he & his late brother, Jay, never worked for WWE. Briscoe said that then-VP of talent John Lauriniatis said they were not "cosmetically pleasing". I guess the wrestler formerly known as Johnny Ace didn't know how to say or spell "telegenic', which would've made more sense.
