Sideline Cheap Shot

The rather blurry photo you see above is Texas A&M student assistant Michael Richardson taking a shot at a West Virginia player during Monday's Liberty Bowl. Richardson delivered a couple sideline cheap shots in the first half and was told by coach Kevin Sumlin to go home. Richardson, as expected, was the subject of much talk hate on Twitter, including a threat from Daryl Worley, one of the West Virginia players he punched. As for the game, Kyle Allen threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns as the Aggies rolled to a 45-37 victory.

Kings Play 4-on-5

Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive famously suggested a strategy of having his team play 4-on-5 defense while a player cherry-picks on offense for an easy basket. It finally happened last night, albeit accidentally, and resulted in a missed Reggie Evans dunk.
