Marshall defensive back DeQuan Bembry has been dismissed from the football team following his fourth arrest since March of last year. His most recent run in with the law occurred this past Sunday when police arrested and charged him with DUI. Bembry along with T.J. Drakeford was also arrested on April 5th after an altercation at a Huntington, WV bar. Bembry was charged with assault on a police officer and underage consumption. He was serving a suspension for the April incident....
Pittsburgh’s Jabaal Sheard took out whatever frustrations he had built up on Edward Parker this past weekend. As Sheard and Parker were jawing at each other Saturday night on East Carson Street in front of LaFond Gallery, something set the two off and the brawl began. The DE and top pass rusher threw Parker into a storefront window and proceeded to beat the living crap out of him. When Parker fell to the ground defenseless, Sheard continued to throw the...
It’s a sad day for the Bronco Nation as 18-year-old recruit Emil Smith passed away early Sunday morning after a horrific automobile accident over the weekend.

Lane Kiffin’s depth chart continues to shrink as sources indicate USC’s wide receiver Brandon Carswell is transferring to Cincinnati to join former USC teammate Vidal Hazelton. The junior WR is free to transfer without sitting a season per USC’s NCAA sanctions. This is the fourth player in as many days to defect from USC because of the heavy sanctions levied against the team. This isn’t a significant blow for the team as Carswell was very limited in production last...
A rare earthquake struck the D.C metro area earlier this morning, but that didn’t keep TheMatadorSports from providing you with all your Friday afternoon links to help get you through the rest of the day. After years of debate and drunken arguments, this picture is very telling and should put to rest the Miami v. Ohio State controversial interference call. Troubled (using the term lightly) QB Jeremiah Masoli is now considering transferring to Hawaii. I say go for it, the mainland could use a...
In the wake of Nebraska joining the Big 10 after this season, several venues have shown interest in hosting the Big 10 championship game (assuming the conference agrees to have one). Initially, Indianapolis and Detroit, both indoor stadiums, were considered front-runners but now other venues want to be in the mix.
