Sports Headlines: Chad Ochocinco, Yankees And More

Ochocinco offers to play for Forster’s fine, Yankees second straight loss to Athletics, Murray with good chances of US Open title

Ochocinco offers to play for the forster just fine

It looks like some NFL professionals disagree with the league’s new policy on penalties, and we have a clear example in the case of Chad Ochocinco and Mason Foster, as the most recent was fined $ 20,000 for hitting a Patriots player in the preseason last Thursday. Ochocinco, who was the one who took the hit, even offered Foster to pay a fine because he disagreed with the punishment the Buccaneers’ players received even though Roger Goodell and the NFl said he could not pay for hitting, and New England wide receiver responded with a tweet for the commissioner, stating that: @nflcommish Dad has no respect but I disagree with @mason_foster alright and I’ll replace it personally. Feel free to contact me.

The Yankees lost their second straight to Athletics

Prior to their second defeat to Athletics in their current series, the Yankees tied the Red Sox for their division leadership, but now Boston is alone at the top and New York is second in AL East. The Yankees have lost just 2 of their previous 20 draws, and they have won a total of ten straight draws to Athletics since 2007, although it looks like New York will lose this record as Oakland is only a game away from coming up with a win.

Murray with a good chance of winning the US Open

Andy Murray is ready for the US Open after winning the Cincinnati Masters over Novak Djokovic, and he will start with a match against relatively unknown player Somdev Devvarman of India, mostly known for winning gold medals at the Commonwealth Games from last year with his home country as host of the event. Murray instead, is a player with a lot of experience and who is accustomed to the big tourney (he was already in the top ten as a teenager), and if the critics’ predictions are correct, it’s possible that Murray, who is one of the favorites, met Djokovic at some stage this competition, most likely in the final.

Patrick is ready to stick with NASCAR

The only woman to ever win an IndyCar race, Danica Patrick, recently announced that she is ready to move to NASCAR for good, and the main reason for her decision was her desire to achieve better results, and the only way to do it was by fully committed to only one of the two circuits. “I will race the full National schedule and the limited Sprint Cup schedule at GoDaddy.com Chevrolet next season. The time is now. The opportunity is now.” She says.  Feel free to check out KAZINOEKSTRA to find more cool stuff.

Rutgers Athletics: A History of Excellenc

American sports activists have a proud and respected history, with Rutgers’ athletic programs standing out among the brightest. One of the first universities in the country to bring their sports program into the interconnected arena, they started a tradition that will remain as strong as ever more than a hundred years later.

Rutgers University

American sports activist has a proud and respected history, with Rutgers’ athletic program standing out among its brightest. One of the first universities in the country to bring their sporting program into a congregational arena, they waged field and court battles with Yale, Columbia, and of course Princeton in its early (as well as long into the future) years. These four schools devised competition rules in 1873 and started a tradition that would remain as strong as ever for the next hundred years.

Football was the name of the game for these top-four intercollegiate giants in their early days, and it remains one of the main focal points of Rutgers’ athletics many years later. Of course, football is far from the only sport that schools focus on. Its history includes baseball, basketball, soccer and many more. Incredibly, many of the school’s sports ventures remained unaffiliated with any official conferences for most of its history. From a brief period in the 1940’s, this school belonged to the Central Three Conference and they enjoyed brief stints in the Middle Atlantic Conference in the late 1950’s. In 1976, the school joined the Atlantic 10 Conference and remained there until 1995. Since then, the university has been affiliated with the Big East.

A cursory glance at Rutgers’ athletic program will reveal the strong spirit of the school, embodied in red. The Scarlet Knights, as it is known, appeared when their school mascot beat other competitors such as “Scarlet” and “Flying Dutchmen”. For a long time before that change, the school was known as Chanticleer, although its association with chickens caused a lot of ridicule on the sports page. With a knight at the forefront of the program, the potential for ridicule is eliminated and the mascot reflects the integrity and tenacity of the school on the ground.

Birth of Pro Football

Of course, while the national focus is naturally on Rutgers athletics and their intercollegiate activities, the school also plays host to small-scale sports for those who lack the interest or ability to engage at a very competitive level. Sports clubs abound on the two campuses and, although the level of competition among participating schools may not reach the fever pitch seen in 1 Scarlet Knights Way, don’t say that to those who take the field regularly to prove their skills in the arena of their choice. Intramural sports also stand out on campus, giving anyone and everyone the opportunity to compete against fellow students.
