Sore losers
Nothing in the world is funnier than athletes representing religious schools getting into a bloody brawl after a game.
It seems that a bunch of past and present football players from Texas Lutheran University didn't take kindly to being ribbed at a party by a player from the University of the Incarnate Word after the latter team beat TLU 53-18 a few weeks back. So four of the TLU players — Jonathan D. Randle, Sahr S. Bindi, Ernesto S. Garcia, and Joshua D. McNeil — followed the Incarnate Word player out of the home and beat him senseless.
Police caught up with the quartet and issued aggravated-assault warrants for all four. As that's a first-degree felony, they now all stand to receive five to 99 years for their trouble. Give these jokers 31 points each, and say a prayer for them. With Texas justice, they'll need it.
