This past weekend, the Tar Heels almost pulled off the improbable, as they were just a two point conversion away from beating the defending national champions, Clemson University. During timeouts and TV breaks, North Carolina’s scoreboard trolled Celemson “fans” that were at the game. This is a bit that we see mostly at NBA games, but was still funny to see nonethelesss. Could this genuinely funny bit go wrong? Well of course it can in 2019! People were apparently so mad North Carolina's AD had to issue this formal apology: SOURCE-Cunningham reportedly apologized to Clemson University president James Clements and athletic director Dan Radakovich Sunday, as well as personally responded to email complaints from fans about the situation. “We want everyone who comes to Chapel Hill to have a positive experience on our campus – whether they are our supporters or our opponents’ fans, first-time visitors or long-time guests,” Cunningham wrote, according to GreenvilleOnline. “The video board spot featuring Clemson fans on Saturday was not in that spirit. “We regret that it was produced…We addressed the inappropriateness of the spot with the responsible staff members immediately after it was shown, and we will continue to address this week the breakdown in process that led to it.” Way to go guys, we've officially ruined everything that could be even a little bit funny. Did the scoreboard personally attack anyone featured on the scoreboard? Nope. I mean technically they did question said fans intelligence with one liners like "Also a Patriots fan" or "Can't name Clemson's last coach" but that's UNC calling them dumb, it's them calling them bandwagon fans. If you're a Clemson fan mad about this I would like to point out a few things. The first being that you chose to go to an away game at UNC, nobody made you walk into a visiting stadium. My last point is that you're the defending national champions...Act like it for god's sake, all you need to do is flex the natty and people will back off. Clemson needs to realize that when you're that good, you gain a few bandwagon fans and everyone else is allowed to make jokes because our teams suck. That's just the way she goes. And for the North Carolina AD, don't apologize for something like this ever again. No harm, no foul, it's as simple as that. I hope that every school that Clemson plays on the road the rest of this season does the same thing going forward so people cry some more. God bless. -Matt Feuerstein
Effective immediately, 616 Sports will be launching a weekly Where Are They Now? series, where bloggers will revisit some of the internet's most polarizing figures, bust athletes, washed up actors or literally anyone that people have forgotten about.
On this week's edition of Where Are They Now? we check in with my favorite hatchet wielding hitchhiker, named Kai. Kai didn't have a last name, but he did have a hatchet and that played a big role in his rise to internet fame back in 2013 after he gave an absolutely electric interview after he stopped a crazy man from killing many people. How did he stop the attack? Well obviously by going smash, smash, SMASH with his hatchet on that guys head. Stop what you're doing right now and peep this video, it's worth your time.
Big s/o to Nick Price for showing me this video back in high school because it quickly became a focal point for me at the time. Kai gives some real life advice to start, which is weird because he was essentially just a bum who was also a philosophical genius. Also provided are some classic one liners like, "straight outta Dogtown", "I can't call it" and "smash, smash and SMASH". All of those one liners I still use today without even realizing their origin. This was fantastic reporting done by KMPH of Fresno, CA because they were able to capture the moment very well, as Kai was oozing adrenaline and his overall look just makes for the perfect aesthetic look. This video is for sure a first ballot hall of famer for internet videos.
The stars had lined up for Kai, people were calling him a hero and it looked like he might be able to leave his nomadic life behind him. Songs and merchandise were being produced by the day, he even made had some television appearances. Unfortunately, he never really had a follow up moment to make people totally remember him, myself included. Did he return to normalcy as a hitchhiker? Or did he use this new lease on life to change his life? Spoiler alert: he killed a man.
CBS NEWS-
A man who gained internet fame as "Kai the Hatchet-wielding hitchhiker" was sentenced to 57 years in prison Thursday in the beating death of a New Jersey man almost six years ago. Jurors in Union County convicted 30-year-old Caleb "Kai" McGillvary last month in the May 2013 death of 73-year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy. Authorities said McGillvary met Galfy in New York's Times Square days before the murder, and the defendant stayed at Galfy's home, where the victim's body was found. Investigators said surveillance footage, cell phone data and other forms of evidence were used to identify McGillvary as a suspect. McGillvary, who is Canadian, was arrested in Philadelphia days later. McGillvary alleged that he acted in self-defense following an attempted sexual assault, but prosecutors said his statements were inconsistent and also cited the victim's extensive injuries. The county medical examiner testified that the victim – "who stood 5-foot-5, weighed 230 pounds, and had a stent in his chest due to a heart condition" – sustained numerous serious blunt-force injuries to his face, head, neck, chest, and arms, including three skull fractures, four broken ribs, and severe contusions, abrasions, and bleeding, reports CBS New York. Prosecutors also said McGillvary cut his long hair and fled the state after the murder. McGillvary had several expletive-laden outbursts during his trial and sentencing, and a judge called him a "powder keg of explosive rage," reports NJ.com. Speaking before he was sentenced, McGillvary called the trial a "sham" that "railroaded an innocent man," the website reports. Galfy had reportedly been a partner with the Rahway-based law firm of Kochanski, Baron and Galfy, PC. He was a military veteran who reached the rank of Major while serving in the U.S. Army from 1965 to 1970. Believe it or not, today of all days and by total coincidence, Kai was sentenced to 57 years in jail for murder. So literally just months after he had all the internet fame a hitchhiker could want, he killed a man. This just goes to show you that fame isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Still crazy that the day that I decide to blog about Kai ends up being the same day that he is sentenced to 57 years of jail time. Until next time. -Matt Feuerstein 3 years ago to the day, we lost our sweet prince. Harambe’s death was a classic example of not knowing what you have, until it’s gone. His death was also just a day after he turned 17 years old, he didn’t even get to be 17 for more than 24 hours. When Harambe was unjustly slain, he left a hole in all of our hearts and more importantly the Cincinnati Zoo. The critically endangered gorilla was named after a Rita Marley song that focused around “Working Together for Freedom”, instead such a patriarch was murdered in cold blood because of an inattentive parent. You can watch the video yourself and see what went down and ultimately lead to the death of Harambe. I firmly believe that Harambe would not have killed that child. He was a lover, not a killer. But instead he became the problem and was killed at 4 PM on this very day. Was George Bush or Hilary Clinton to blame? That’s not for me to decide as I’d rather not politicize the death of Harambe. I will say that prior to Harambe’s death in 2016, our country was much more united so it just makes you think... For me it was the response of our nation in the following years that made me proud to be an American again. People all around the globe held candle light vigils in celebration of Harambe, he became an internet meme, rappers sang about him and proud supporters like me even bought Harambe merch. Americans pledged to keep their tits and dicks out for Harambe until there was the necessary justice and sadly my dick is still out, but I am happy to be a champion for Harambe.
Some more so than others, have been very supportive of the remembrance of Harambe. As you can see, the Minnesota football team made me a custom Harambe wallpaper, so I’m now the biggest casual Gophers fan that I know. But fret not people, Harambe is boolin in heaven with Steve Irwin and the gator that took Chubbs hand in Happy Gilmore. It won’t ever get easier, that’s just how it is. We won’t quit until there’s justice for Harambe, but more importantly, we will never forget.

Effective immediately, 616 Sports will be launching a weekly Where Are They Now? series, where bloggers will revisit some of the internet's most polarizing figures, bust athletes, washed up actors or literally anyone that people have forgotten about.
First up on the Where Are They Now? series is the American singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer, and cover artist called Icejjfish. Yes, he goes by that name on purpose and it really is spelled that way. Never heard of Icejjfish? Daniel McLoyd, known professionally as IceJJFish is an R&B artist known for his 2013 single "On the Floor" which has reached over 72 million views on YouTube as of May 2019. The song was criticized for its "intentionally bad" vocals. Me and Icejjfish go all the way back to Ms. V's class during my junior year of high school. I would play his music through my iPad largely because of his "on purpose bad singing", but I digress. Icejjfish looks like a Wal-Mart version of Denzel Valentine and his video production budget went straight to paying girls an appearance fee instead of a better producer, but Icejjfish was and always will be my guy. A couple years back his Twitter account got hacked and tweeted out an "alleged" nude photo of Icejjfish and claimed him to be bisexual. It was at this point I hit the unfollow button, not because I have a problem with him being bisexual, it was just more of a situation where you don't want to see one of your heroes dragged through the mud on the Internet. Since I was forced to hit the unfollow button, I became disconnected with my king. Today I had an epiphany and remembered that Icejjfish is still alive and I needed to find where he is now. During my time away from Icejjfish, he's been steady mobbin and making music, but now that I have been away from the fish scene for a while I will admit that he's trash. He tries to remix already famous songs and those are somehow even worse than if he was just singing a normal song. The original music literally peaked with the very first song he published. And in an extremely unforeseen situation, he makes shitty gospel music. Not sure if he's trying to corner a new market but I'm thinking that maybe he should just call to good. When Lil Yatchy blew up, Icejjfish tried to say that Lil Yatchy was ripping off his brand of shitty music which is false because people can at least listen to Yatchy. If you Google Icejjfish he does have a wikipedia page as that is something that I don't have (yet) and he has a reported net worth of $350,000 which is roughly $349,950 higher than my net worth. So there you have it, the first ever Where Are They Now? report on a guy who you've probably never heard of nor care about. Have a Where Are They Now? Candidate tweet them to me at @mattfire4 -Matt Feuerstein Gonna have to preface this by stating that Intern Josh wrote this and there was no intro included, however the title should be pretty self explanatory. That being said, Josh also specifically asked for no editing to be done. He's not stupid, he just doesn't care. Please read the whole list because it really is that funny and we want Josh to blog more. 10. Fresh Tar On Pothole Fulled Roads Let’s be real Michigan roads are complete dog shit. This really only made the list because I need 10 to complete the countdown. 9. The smell Of Rain Wouldn’t be spring without it I have a 6th sense for it and here’s a quick thing of advice it’s gonna rain tomorrow. 8. Diesel Fuel Smell This is my cocaine equivalent nothing quite gets me going like it. Simply put if u don’t like the smell don’t plan on eating cause farmers are out there feeding America 1 full tank at a time. 7. Garage Sale SZN Once you hit city limits littered on every street corner your moms tryna sell off all grandmas quality used junk and musty ass clothing. Every now and then you’ll hit a jackpot and find something worth a damn but keep those hard earned dollars so u can by that bread... for sandwiches 6. Open House SZN 1st of all I would personally like to Congratulate the class of 2019 on getting through the easiest part of your life. Don’t have any advice other than... Taco Bar? My personal favorite for a grad party. The best part is when u start having multiple on the same day, turns into planning which 1 is lunch and the other is dinner. P.S do hand written thank you notes, my soft ass did pictures ones and that probably just looks bad 5. Road Work/ Detour Ahead This one hits me hard this year our road is under year 1 of the road bond proposal. It’s off to a great start as they haven’t even started it yet other than putting a blue marker saying this road is actually bad for u 2 be driving on it but we’ll get to it someday really just the thought that counts. Gonna be a bitch having to drive way around but a smooth road is on the horizon. Anyone wanna steal a traffic cone? 4. Manure SZN We all know what comes in must come out. Farmers have a step up on the game in dealing with this shit. Not 2 brag but my uncle trucks manure and farms. When it rains smell becomes enhanced. Who doesn’t love a nice shit smelling sunrise well that is case when fields are every direction of a compass around. 3. Fresh Cut Hay You should see a cow perk up when it has the 1st cut of hay all up in its face, honestly mesmerizing. There’s nothing better than a 70 degree day windows down and there’s Gasper Farms running round bales had to give that plug cause they’re our supplier. P.S shoutout Reggie the Gambling Cow. 2. Mowed Grass Major shoutout to all the Dad’s who put a lot of pride/ talent we’re here for you. Not all hero’s wear capes some just drive zero turn mowers. So yeah it’s not just grass it’s self pride keeping it watered and manicured. I respect the millions of people who have a professional lawn without being a damn business. 1. Fresh Pine Shaving - Not Biased At All I have been exposed to this amazing scent the last 4 + yrs in my journey in 4-h the aroma is unmatched if u wanna fight me on it well I have a 10 day event later in July see you in the pig barn and you’ll be a changed human being. I’ll be honest don’t think anyone gonna read this still but thanks and yee haw. Thanks, Intern Josh Tinder Gold Member Ag Insider Twitter-@joshfire11 IG-@joshfeuerstein @internjosh616 John Daly will use golf cart at PGA Championship, worried about fan reaction The PGA of America has granted Daly permission to use a cart at Bethpage Black because of arthritis in his right knee that, he says, prevents him from walking more than six holes at a time. Daly filed his request under the Americans with Disabilities Act and will become the first player to ride a cart in a major since Casey Martin in the 2012 U.S. Open. I am 100% here for this move and I for one, cannot wait to see him motoring around on the golf course while everyone else is walking. Some would say that he's abusing the Disabilities Act, but those are also the same people who hate puppies and seeing those videos when soldiers return home, but I digress. I will however, admit that this was probably the last thing that law makers were envisioning in 1990, but laws are laws. This truly a great day for all members of the disabled community. Not being able to or not wanting to walk 18 holes is a big time mood. I golfed one year in high school and we had like five or six matches where we played 18 holes and by the time you're on hole 16 you just want to be done. And for John, he's playing 18 holes on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that will obviously take a toll on his knee that literally had the meniscus removed. I believe that only psychos recreationally play golf and walk. Just pay the extra $7 and ride on a cart, if I can afford it so can you. When people walk they just fuck up the pace of play and mostly end up in the way. "But I do it for the exercise" believe me when I say this, there are so many different options to get exercise Bob, stay off the golf course with your stupid pull cart. In addition to saving his knee, the ability to use the golf cart will only elevate his on the course drinking. The golf cart will allow for a cooler to be on the cart at all times and to be fully stocked with Miller Lite. Hard to bring around a bunch of beers when you're relying on the caddie to carry everything. We all need to remember that Daly is a golfer who "played his best golf while drunk.". The golf purists are already pissed that this is going to be allowed so the beers on the cart probably won't be a hit with them, but all you need to do is take one look at John and you'll see that he's spent more time at the bar than at the gym. John Daly has most likely reached the alcoholic level of nirvana where he has the Perma buzz 24/7, so those beers won't even get him drunk, it's like apple juice to him. Now, I'm not taking any sides.. But this could set a dangerous precedent with the PGA and how golfers approach injuries. Tiger Woods barely has a back left, so what happens when he sees how beneficial the cart was to John Daly? Who tells Tiger Woods that he's not allowed to use a cart to golf but John Daly can? So there are some potential issues that could arise from this decision. I can already here the people from Augusta National freaking out just at the thought of a player riding on a cart on their golf course. My spin zone here is that lots of dudes would be able to play longer in their careers and pace of play would increase. Other sports evolve, so why not let golf evolve too? With all of that being said and I you're still reading this, please find a way to watch the John Daly 30 for 30 that ESPN made about his life, it's so good. I'm always pulling for Daly even though most of his misfortunes have been a result of his own actions. John Daly truly is the peoples golfer and we need to cherish and support him as he continues to golf, just search him on YouTube and you'll see why he's a living legend. If there's one thing that I've learned from him, it's to Grip it, Rip it and Sip it. oh and John is a low key country music star. -Matt Feuerstein
Nick Ward can no longer be bothered with school assignments. And I absolutely love this move by Nick. He's being thoughtful enough to tell his classmates that he's done with the class, rather than leaving them hanging. Speaking from experience, group projects suck so this type of communication should be greatly appreciated. This does confirm that he's DONE done with college basketball and is fully looking at his career of pro basketball. And if you ask me this kid owes Nick an apology for being pushy with a very polite Nick Ward. Nick Ward is a funny guy because his style of basketball is better fit for 1980s but somehow he's going to end up playing pro basketball. While that pro basketball might be in the NBA/G-League or overseas but he'll be playing pro basketball nonetheless. He's going to be making a lot of money. Lol nah is going to be a big time mood for me the rest of 2019. Nick Ward can't be the only athlete that this has happened to either, so I need to see more exchanges like this. Also big s/o to Nick Ward as he'll leave MSU as the school's all time leading three point shooter *minimum 3 attempts*. -Matt Feuerstein I'll be upfront with you, not a lot of outside thought went into this list. These are simply how I view my meatless eating options during Lent. Disagree with me? That's cool. I just don't think that you can convince me that there's anything to beat a Friday fish fry during Lent. Here's the list, check it out for yourself. 1. Fish fry- this is probably the most iconic Lenten meal on a Friday. Doesn’t matter if you’re at your local church or American legion post (I give the local legion the edge because they serve beer). But anyway, whether it’s a perch, smelt, pollock or cod basket, it’s all good. Absolutely nothing beats a Friday fish fry for dinner. 2. Grilled cheese- the grilled cheese is a lesser appreciated meal during lent. They’re super easy to make on the stove top or you can opt for a grilled cheese maker. Add a side of tomato soup or ketchup to dip the sandwich into. Back in high school I use to make these puppies for all my catholic friends at lunch. 3. Red Lobster- I say Red Lobster but it can literally be any franchise or upper end seafood place. I’m just trying to point out that crab legs, lobster tails and shrimp are all very good dishes that are served at places like Red Lobster. They do tend to be on the pricier end so that made this option fall a little on my list. *If you ever find yourself on Estero Island in Florida, Hooters has the best sea food* 4. Breakfast for dinner- Obviously we have to omit any breakfast meats but I’m here for some pancakes, eggs and hash browns. I will literally take breakfast for any meal of the day. But talk about one hell of a way to kick off a weekend. 5. Mac and cheese- Mac and cheese will always play for me. I do prefer homemade to the Kraft or Velveeta Mac and cheeses but this is a very viable option for Fridays during lent. Oh and the cheesier the better. 6. Cheese or Meatless Pizza- Pizza fore sure plays during Lent but it just doesn’t hit the same, ya feel? Don’t get me wrong, I put a hurting on a Little Ceaser’s cheese pizza during March Madness but I prefer at least some pepperoni to work with.
So here you have it, the first ever power ranking of Friday Lent dinner options. God speed to all of my other Catholic readers, lent is almost over but until then, please consider not sinning Friday and maybe eat something from this list. Again, obviously, there many other options but those are all too lame for me. -Matt Feuerstein |
