[Adam Hart] Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach is in some hot water over a reported incident in which he allegedly ordered an injured player inside a dark room.

Via The AP, which cites an anonymous source with knowledge of the complaints:

When the team returned to practice two days later, on Dec. 19, James said Leach told trainers to “find the tightest, darkest place” for the player. James, in his street clothes, was put in an electrical closet inside the football stadium for hours, again monitored by a member of the athletic staff.

And we’ll call it a career.

[Adam Hart] Ah, the glory jumbotrons, masks and fun-loving football players. Randy Moss interacted with a fan through the jumbotron on Sunday after catching his third touchdown pass of the day.

[Adam Hart] By now you’ve heard of the Christmas Day terror plot, in which a Nigerian man attempted to blow up a Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit to carry out jihad, blah, blah, blah. These terrorists are really getting tiring. Shouldn’t they be running out of them by now?

Anyway, the alleged terrorist’s name is Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab – which is four names by my count – and he is the 23-year-old son of a wealthy Nigerian banker. Which is why I find this next bit a little strange.

Via ABCNews.com:

He was concerned he would not get into college at Caltech, Stanford or Berkeley because of his test scores.

“I tried the SAT. It was a disaster!!! I didn’t practice well and I got 1200.” Abdulmutallab attended college in London between 2005 and 2008.

First of all, I got a 1220 on my SAT. When I was 17. So yeah, this kid definitely isn’t that smart. But what did you expect? He’s the son of a guy who can’t even match verb tenses in his generous e-mail offers to kind sirs and madams in the United States.  And the elder Abdulmutallab has proven there’s no need for mastery of the English language when offering 400,000 US Dollars for a simple wire transfer of inheritance funds.  This kid would just be wasting money studying at one of those prestigious schools.  Pops should’ve just set him up with a Gmail account and let him get after it.

P.S. Obviously his dad might not be that Nigerian do-gooder who’s always sending out those phishing e-mails.  It’s just a joke.  Maybe.

[Adam Hart] Too bad I’m already a beacon of physical fitness, otherwise this very subtle advertisement might sucker me into purchasing whatever phony 4-week program its hawking.

[Adam Hart] I don’t care how pube-like my facial hair gets, it’ll all be worth it if I can reach the goal of having a full beard like Randy Moss has been sporting in recent weeks.

I still can’t believe how he’s quit on the team this season. What’d he have, three touchdowns this week?  Call me when he starts trying.  (That’s sarcasm, in case you didn’t catch me laying it on thick like Randy’s beard)
