The Couple Who Douse Each Other With Beer In The Bleachers Together, Stay Together

No good deed goes unpunished, especially in the bleachers at a Cubs game. As you may have seen by now, a woman doused her husband with beer after he spilled beer on her while protecting her from a home run ball hit by Travis Wood.

Unlike the fake, staged dousing that a guy received from a woman at a Fresno Grizzlies game recently, this one was real, and it was spectacular. WGN-TV caught up with the woman, Ellen Shockley, afterwards. Chicago Tribune:

"If it was not my husband, I would not have done it," Shockley said Monday after the video of the incident went viral.

Ellen and her husband, Tim, who met in the bleachers and have been married since 1992, were at Sunday's Cubs-Mets game when Tim tried to reach over his head for Travis Wood's two-run homer. While doing so, he accidentally spilled a little of his beer onto Ellen.

"My first reaction was 'You (expletive), I'm soaking wet, so now you are going to be soaking wet, too," she said. "But really, I would not have done that to a stranger if that happened. I might have jumped on him."

The video made it on SportsCenter, Good Morning America and other shows. But it's all fun and games until the blog commenters chime in.

But by mid-day, Tim began reading negative comments about Ellen's act of retaliation on some blogs and Internet reports, which he felt crossed the line.

"They were saying things like she needed anger management, or that she was probably a Sox fan," Tim said. "I think they were too hard on her. I thought it was funny. It's not like she shot me. Not that I want to give her any ideas or anything."

Why Alabama vs. Ohio State Is the Dream BCS Title Matchup This Year

The final year of the BCS is approaching with a number of high-profile teams staring down the crystal football. Alabama and Ohio State are the early favorites to land in the game, and having the two powerhouses square off for the title would be a fitting sendoff for the BCS era.

Last year, the Urban Meyer-led Buckeyes went on an impressive undefeated run that would have put them in the national title game if not for NCAA sanctions.

A couple of things make this game the best scenario to end 2013. It matches tradition-rich programs and legendary coaches, and signals the return to prominence of traditional conference powers.

Every season the landscape of the game is layered with opportunities. Players are early favorites for the Heisman, while others are set to become legends with a few more wins.

AJ McCarron has the chance to win a third straight national title. If he does, he will make college football history and become part of the "best-of-all-time" discussion.

Another big draw would be Braxton Miller's Heisman Trophy campaign. He is heading into the year as an early favorite after a strong 2012 season. He is a dangerous dual-threat quarterback who fits well into the Urban Meyer offense.

The Ohio State vs. the SEC will also attract attention. The Buckeyes are 1-2 against the SEC in the BCS  and 0-2 in the title game.

Watching Ohio State try to reverse that trend against the seemingly unbeatable Crimson Tide would drive the media and fans wild.

Merchandise nationwide for the Buckeyes would be hard to find. Pulling for the team that knocks off 'Bama would be enough to drive some fans to the local Foot Locker. A run on Ohio State merchandise would put a dent in inventory and create a shortage of No. 5 jerseys.

Ohio State and Alabama are two of the most tradition-rich programs in college football. Both have laid claim to multiple national titles and are consistent pipelines of talent to the NFL.

Over the years these programs have become the flagships for their respective conferences. Winning championships does that for a program, and this year should be another title run for both of these schools.

Watching these two programs that carry a quarter century of title gold battle for a national title would be a fitting end to the BCS era.

The past few seasons have brought a lot of mid-major conference talk, with teams like Boise State and Northern Illinois working themselves into the BCS discussion. There still hasn't been a mid-major that has made it to the title game, but some will hope that changes this year.

It won't happen, and the country will be happy to see it. The ratings for an Alabama vs. Ohio State matchup would skyrocket past any mix of mid-major schools and BCS automatic qualifier.

The country loves big brand football, and outside of the specific markets of the small schools, the draw is simply not there.

The new playoff system will finally give the smaller schools a legitimate shot at the title, but finishing the BCS era with one final big-name game just fits.

Love them or hate them, watching Urban Meyer and Nick Saban battle it out from the sideline is a matchup made in college football heaven. Two living legends squaring off would be an historic occasion.

Meyer has coached all over the country, but his most memorable work was at Florida. He took Tim Tebow and turned him into a quality quarterback while managing to win two national titles along the way.

Saban has been in the SEC for most of his major college coaching career, and winning titles is a part of his regular schedule.

He has secured four national titles as a head coach, with all four coming from the SEC. He won a title at LSU, in addition to his three at Alabama.

Watching these two walk opposing sidelines would be reminiscent of the Woody Hayes vs. Bo Schembechler or Bear Bryant vs. Shug Jordan showdowns.

That Yankees And Manchester City Are likely to Own An MLS Team In New york, And It Will Have Every one of the Money And All For the Haters.

You most likely don't care about this MLS enough to can't stand a team, unless you might be the Grinch. But now you must, adding New York FC on the list that includes a Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Big apple Yankees, Dallas Cowboys along with Notre Dame football, involving other overrated, overfunded, oversupported franchises.

The Yankees and a Yankee-esque English Premier League team, Manchester City, are teaming around own New York's new MLS expansion team, that league's 20th franchise. The deal cost $100 million, or even Alex Rodriguez's toenail fused using Carlos Tevez's scar. As per ESPN, "the club expects to get started playing in 2015. "

New york city FC expect to play in an interim home until a permanent stadium was made. The owners are focused on constructing a stadium but will take up negotiations with the city. Whether their focus now shifts within the 13-acre plot of that Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens remains to be seen. Ferran Soriano discussed: "We are very alert to the Queens negotiation. Marriage ceremony about finding a ground. This is about finding a home that is successful from a financial, and soccer perspective in addition to a community perspective. "

This club will have all of the pounds, all of that dollars, and all in the dirhams. The MLS's current principles only allow three really expensive players to remain signed, though, so The big apple FC won't be like hated as you'd believe, unless that rule shifts.

Also: we notified you earlier of the fact that recently-retired David Beckham may have an ownership role in the New York MLS power team, so perhaps he'll be induced in a Jay-Z-esque purpose.

As an American (and a brand new Yorker), I think it's cool. But if one thinks this puts the MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE within 19 stratospheres of leagues similar to the Bundesliga, La Liga, the Premier League, or every other high-class soccer league, you will be dumber than Ryan Lochte. Hopefully you're not dumber as opposed to Ryan Lochte.

Mosley vs. Cano: Sugar Shane Should Call It Quits After Ending Losing Streak

After being winless for the past four years, Shane Mosley was finally able to end the streak on Saturday night against Cesar Cano.

After such a difficult stretch of fights, Sugar Shane needs to finally retire and end his career on somewhat of a high note.

At 41 years old, his best boxing years are certainly behind him. He has a respectable career record of 47-8-1 with 39 knockouts, but the recent winless streak put a blemish on a successful career. If he continues trying to fight, that record will continue to look worse and worse.

Even in the fight against Cano, who is a relatively average fighter, Mosley had his struggles. Even though he was able to win this fight by unanimous decision, there were times in the fight where Mosley seemed to be staggered.

"The last few fights I lost because of injuries, but I'm well," said the 41-year-old Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs) after the weigh-in. "My body tells me I'm well, so we are still going to be doing this for a while. Cano is a tough fighter, but I shouldn't have any problems beating him and being on my way to win a world title."

If Mosley is now having trouble with mediocre competition, how can he expect to continue fighting at a high level like he used to?

Back in the day, Sugar Shane was one of the best fighters in the world. He held titles in three weight divisions, holding the IBF Lightweight, WBC Welterweight, WBA Welterweight and several other Championships. He started his career with 38 consecutive wins before falling to Vernon Forrest in 2002. He has two big wins in his career against the great Oscar De La Hoya.

Now, it's pretty clear that Sugar Shane can't keep up with the competition. He's lost unanimous decisions to both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. since 2010, and it's pretty obvious that he's unable to pull off an upset against any solid fighter at this point in his career.

Coming out of retirement for a fight is nice, but now Mosley has the opportunity to end his career officially with a win. Not every fighter can say that, and it would do a lot to keep a positive reputation on one of the better fighters of this generation.
