THIRTY-FIVE SECONDS, one of our new favorite college hoops blogs, posts about an otherwise ho-hum opening ACC win by Duke over Virginia yesterday (lo, for the days of Othell Wilson!).
There’s been rumors that the once-great Redskins-Cowboys rivalry is no longer. We don’t want to believe it, but DC-based Chris Mottram of MISTER IRRELEVANT posts a video that is clear evidence supporting that once-unimaginable assertion:
The video clip is of two fans throwing hands in the stands last Sunday at the Redskins-Cowboys game at FedEx Field. More specifically, the pugilistic principles are both Cowboys fans, with Redskins fans eventually breaking up the drunken scuffle.
‘Skins fans stopping two Dallas fans from bludgeoning each other? We thought we’d see Joe Theismann make an ass out of himself by needlessly criticizing ESPN and Tony Kornheiser multiple times before we’d ever witness something that incomprehensible. Oh, wait.
MENTAL FLOSS has a reminder today of the most notorious fan in history, the guy we always used to see wearing the rainbow wig and toting a “John 3:16″ inside our teevee. The gent’s name is Rollen Stewart, and his tale isn’t all that interesting, but it’s Saturday and we’re not much into the Meineke Car Care Bowl (Free Jim Grobe!), so indulge us.
During the ’70s and ’80s Stewart was all over the national television sports broadcasts, so much so that NBC Sports threatened to fire directors who showed him. Brent Musburger told ESPN that directors in TV trucks would “threaten to kill him” when they saw him appearing in shots.
