When Connerton's coach told him he could not play if he wore the pink gloves rather than the required black last Saturday night, he promptly quit.
NFL ball boy isn't exactly the most exciting job in the National Football League so a kid has to make it seem like it's a Super Bowl moment every time he chases after a ball.
Kids wanting to be just like their athletic heroes is nothing new, but a Pop Warner football coach emulating the New Orleans Saints' "Bountygate" program, where players were paid extra to injure members of the other team? That's a twist. A very upsetting twist, if you ask the parents of the 10- and 11-year-olds who got the short end of this deal.
Reports made earlier last week allege that Darren Crawford, head coach of the Tustin Pee Wee Red Cobras, offered his players cash bonuses up to $50 for the "hit of the game," sometimes awarding even more if the opposing team's best player was hit so hard he had to leave the game.

Ugh. These are the most expensive seats in the house and the are almost always filled with the least knowledgeable fans who are more concerned with being a "star."
The ante was upped last night when a fan sleazed into the front row at Wrigley Field after a lengthy rain delay during the Cubs game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and many fans had left the game.

On July 18 the New York Yankees held a comfortable lead in the A.L. East and seemed destined for a deep playoff run. Since then, the Bombers have somehow managed to blow a 10-game advantage over the Orioles, leading to a scramble for first place and an extremely rattled New York fan base.
