Etiquette for football fans

Sometimes it’s the little things that spoil the fun at football games. The worst offenders are people who would never violate etiquette at a Broadway production but routinely offend others in stadium settings.

• Be in your seat before the game begins. Kickoff is sacred.

• Don’t walk in front of other fans in the middle of a play. Wait till play is over, then move quickly.

• Know when to stand or not to stand. Don’t be a dork.

• Don’t boo the home team.

• Keep a lid on the foul mouthing. Kids are listening.

• Keep the cliches to yourself. We hate them.

• Spare us the running analysis. We’re not impressed with your knowledge of the obvious.

• If wearing headphones, don’t keep repeating what you hear on the radio.

• Don’t ask seatmates what just happened.  The public address announcer will usually explain.

• Limit alcohol intake.

• Don’t leave until the game is over.

There really should be some rules, written or unwritten, that don’t have to be explained. What kind of fan behavior bothers you?

Another Deuce Bello dunking video

The University of Louisville’s 2011 basketball recruiting class is like an accordion, expanding and contracting with each new summer scouting/recruiting analysis.

Enter now Deuce Bello and friends, who have recruiting junkies, as well as the professional analysts, speculating that U of L may indeed be on the verge of a breakthrough class.

They are dissecting every move this 6-foot-3, 175-pound forward from High Point, N.C. makes, on and off the court.

Facebook. Twitter. Water Cooler?  Yes.

For good reason. Dunking seems to come as naturally as breathing. No running starts necessary. Blocks shots with ease, shoots with confidence. And lots of good friends that excel in basketball.

Notably, Bello is close friends with super stars Tony Wroten and Quincy Miller. Equally important, all of them have good relationships with Tim Fuller, the new U of L assistant.

Here’s new video of Bello:

30 Louisville players on NFL rosters

The list brings back memories of good players, good times at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

Thirty former University of Louisville players will be on National Football League rosters as the pros open their training camps later this week. The list includes Trent Guy and Scott Long, two of the more productive players from last season’s team. Guy is with the Carolina Cougars and Scott Long with the San Francisco 49ers.

Update: Add defensive tackle Montavious Stanley, who recently signed with the Miami Dolphins. (Thanks Michael McCammon.)

Karen Sypher goes with hot pink and cross as trial begins

If this were Salem, the case would be history already.

Fox41 Blog: “She also has what appears to be a heavy crucifix around her neck — it must be about 2-3 inches in length, and appeared to be made of crystal or diamonds.”
