CRAWFORD: Tweets from press row - Rough week for former cheerleader, and fans

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- From the home office basement, Twitter-length thoughts on the day in sports -- and more . . .

# That a former Cincinnati Bengal cheerleader was involved with a high school kid and not an actual Bengal speaks volumes about that franchise .  .  .

# Better just leave it at that . . .

# Congrats to former Louisville Cardinal Doug Beaumont, who has signed to play for the Louisville Xtreme arena team . . .

# Not a great weekend for sports fans. Angry fantasy owners got so nasty with DeAngelo Williams that he fired back on Twitter . . .

# Georgia LB Christian Robinson and QB Aaron Murray got home from Saturday's loss to South Carolina to find their house "egged and rolled."

# That is, toilet papered after having eggs thrown at it . . .

# To have one's house "eggrolled" might be a pretty good thing, depending on the Chinese takeout place . . .

# "Seems that people turn on you when you're not perfect," Robinson Tweeted. "Thought we were in this together."

# Nah, Christian. You're only in it together when you win. I can see where you'd make that mistake, though. . . .

# Fans are quicker to turn today than they ever have been.

# I'm not sure whether any NBA franchises are available, but there's no reason the KFC Yum! Center shouldn't have some NBA exhibition action . . .

# NBA commish David Stern told csnne.com that advertisements on team jerseys are being discussed by league leadership . . .

# College hoops was buzzing over a new church edict yesterday. The Mormon church lowered the required age for missionary service . . .

# That means prized recruit Jabari Parker could serve on his mission right out of high school, then head to the NBA, bypassing college . . .

# Tuesday ACC football check . . .

# It still stinks. And Florida State lost.

# Jerry Sandusky is described as "defiant" and "proclaiming his innocence" before sentencing for his conviction on 45 child sex abuse charges . . .

# Has anybody told him the trial is over and he's going to jail? Or is he being treated "humanely" and not being told?

# I could be wrong, but UK coaches seem pretty bummed that freshman QB Jalen Whitlow doesn't fit the quick-strike offense they want . . .

# But they're going to have to scrap that playbook . . .

# Using Whitlow, UK did rush for more yards against South Carolina than any other team this season . . .

# The Gamecocks had allowed zero rushing TDs coming into the UK game. The Wildcats ran for two. Maybe there's something there . . .

# It's about time for Teddy Bridgewater to break out again . . .

# And when he does, coaches would do well to let him just keep on going . . .

# Green Bay Packer LB Clay Matthews is pressuring the NFL in the wake of an injury to former USC teammate Brian Cushing . . .

# Matthews wants to know why the NFL will go crazy protecting head and QB injuries, but not do the same for things like chop blocks . . .

# It's a good question.

# Finally, a personal note. Congrats to my great-uncle George Garrison, who just returned from an honor flight to the WWII Memorial . . .

# You can read about the trip by a group of veterans in this Lexington Herald-Leader piece.
