This story is WILD

This is sad and disgusting at the same time. I was sympathetic to Etute until his quote about “he can’t do this to anyone else again”. Really gross. His shame does not allow him to be the literal executioner of someone.

I also would be more open to acquittal if it happened after the first encounter. The fact that the killing occurred when he went back a second time once he found out ”Angie Renee” was a man makes the story really sad.

This story is WILD
I finally was able to make time to read it. I feel for both families. I have no idea where I would land on it as a juror with the facts presented in the story. I lean toward some version of guilt. It is definitely not lacking in gray area. A person is dead, and there should be justice seems simple enough. Stories like this, for me, are a reminder that life is not always black and white. I have zero doubt in the same situation, I would not have done what Etute did in reaction. I would have ran, sure, but I'm not violent. But also, my life experience is nowhere near what this young man has experienced. And does a difference in life experience justify killing?

It seems more like a manslaughter case than murder to me. I am sure the fact that he went back to seek out the catfisher is what turned it into murder but I don’t think there was intent to kill the guy.

Ivy League kicks off their college season this weekend including matchups such as Holy Cross/Yale, Penn/Colgate, and Dartmouth/New Hampshire.

Also, keep an eye on Idaho/Cal after Idaho completely smoked Nevada last week.

It's Florida day for Tennessee! It's at The Swamp this year so I'm hoping for a most supreme ass beating. Like, with sour cream, diced tomatoes, fuckin' STEAK. No matter how disconnected I get from college ball I am goddamn always up for fuckin' Florida week.

This is '90s episode of WWF Superstars energy. Just missing the PBP guy giving us random facts about College Park, Maryland at the top of the broadcast. Although maybe he did do that and they just didn't mention it in the article.

I'd counter to this article thought that this is the kind of treatment 2023 UVA football deserves.

Maybe there’s hope for next year as my alma matter Miami defeated my beloved Cincy for first time since I was a student there in 2005.

It’s like watching your shitty kid beat up your other actually talented kid but now you gotta listen to your shitty kid act like he’s better than the actual good kid and he doesn’t deserve it.

The best thing about football is that the play on the field doesn’t care about whatever the narrative is. And well Colorado State came to play and imo all those celebrities on Colorados sideline are some part in why they had no focus and why they are going to lose.

Deion is saying Hunter is out at minimum two weeks after a flagrantly late, dirty hit from CSU.

So Shadeur will be without his #1 against Oregon and USC.

Colorado is white hot, so much so that more people watched Colorado and Colorado State (9.3 million) -- two teams that went a combined 4-20 last year -- than watched iconic brands Alabama and Texas (8.8 million) the week before. What makes that more astounding is the Colorado game started after 10 p.m. ET, ended around last call and smashed ESPN's record for the most-watched late-night game of all time by more than 4 million viewers.


I’m on the bandwagon but this is still an interesting breakdown.

Boise State beat San Diego State 34-31 last night behind RB Ashton Jeanty's 205 yards on the ground. Air Force as usual is now a sneaky 4-0 after beating San Jose State 45-20 behind Emmanuel Michel's 148-yard, 3 TD outburst.

Fun Fact: Air Force has gone 31-8 between 2019, 2021, and 2022. HC Troy Calhoun actually has a higher win percentage than legendary AF HC Fisher DeBerry.

Fuckin lol the amount of shit Colorado was talking. They acted like they actually done something already. The part threatening to beat up the coach was hilarious I'm glad these guys lost tbh.
This was incredibly well done.

All jokes aside (see earlier), this is the kind of game they probably needed. A lot of these students are talented enough players for a D-I scholarship but aren't going to make the pros, like most athletes. Instead, they're going to spend (hopefully) 4 years getting mentored by Deion Sanders, privately, and that's pretty damn awesome thing to carry through life. For those students that didn't have the grades to get into college the way I did and had to rely on their physical gifts, regardless of the weekly scoreboard, they are (again, hopefully) getting an education at a damn fine school and also making some memories. The Oregon game was an absolute shit kicking and it's obvious a lot of those young men needed the reality check but if Coach was on the level in the post game presser, it'll be a learning opportunity.

And if you can locate Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe's discussion about this game yesterday, I recommend watching it with an open mind and heart. Both analysts had me silently nodding the entire segment.

And yes, don't threaten the other coach. That's the most "dad" figure many players ever have. My equivalent is my college band director. I still send messages through one of his relatives in my peer group since he doesn't do social media/give his number out. (The arrangement is a welcomed thing by all parties). If someone tried talking shit to my coach/director at that age, I'd absolutely lose the fight in 5 seconds, but I'd go take a punch for him.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I am glad you will all have the opportunity to tune into the ACC Sicko Game of the Year between my 1-3 Boston College Eagles and the 0-4 Virginia Cavaliers, at 2 PM EST/11 AM PST on the CW!

This should be where BC gets into the easier part of their schedule and maybe starts picking up some more wins but I said that last week and Louisville blew them out 56-28.

Also I got family in Charlottesville and it’d suck for them to see UVA have a zero win season especially with all that they have been through in the past few years. And if UVA beats BC in Chestnut Hill on family weekend maybe that’s be enough to get Jeff Hafley’s bumass fired.


In any event, this will be the worst thing to air on The CW since The Great Khali’s World Title reign.

Kentucky moved to 5-0, smacking #22 Florida out of the Top 25. Texas A&M, Tulane, Jacksonville State, and BYU are all 4-1 while James Madison and Louisville are sitting at 5-0.
