Earlier this week, Michigan State dismissed football coach Mel Tucker with cause amid allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
Thursday, Tucker, through an attorney, fired back, filing an unlawful termination lawsuit.
The allegations surfaced just before the start of the season, which begs to ask why the university let Tucker on the sidelines in the first place when the season began earlier this month. Simple answer is they waited to see if they had enough evidence before forging ahead with terminating Tucker's contract.
Look at it this way. Ohio State should've done the same with their wrestling team years ago, before assistant coach Jim Jordan became a delusional Republican Misrepresentative. Would Jordan have been elected if he had his reputation damaged? We'll never know.

Baseball lost another legend Tuesday with the passing of Hall of Fame 3rd baseman Brooks Robinson, who played his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles. Robinson, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983, was 86, and hailed as one of the greatest at his position.

No matter where he's been, be it Washington or Philadelphia, Bryce Harper has gained a reputation for having a very short temper, especially when it comes to strikeouts.
Thursday, Harper fanned in his only at-bat vs. Pittsburgh, when 3rd base ump Angel Hernandez, easily the worst umpire in baseball, called strike 3 on a check swing that didn't look like a full swing.
Hernandez, clearly in need of corrective vision, ejected Harper as the latter walked halfway up the 3rd base line. As you'll see, Harper tossed his helmet into the stands....
With the Phillies having clinched a playoff spot, we'll see if Harper finally gets the World Series title that has eluded him. In his first year in Philly, Washington won the title. Go figure.
