Westlake senior kicked out of soccer league for being the man

February 12, 2016 Ai 10 Comments

“It took nearly two full months of shenanigans but Ohio’s North Side Co-Ed Soccer League has finally ousted anti-establishment villain Brian Garruto.

Garruto, a senior and member of the boys’ varsity soccer team at Westlake (Ohio) High School, posted the banishment notice he received from the recreational league’s management to his Twitter account.”

As a bonus, here’s a photo of Brian in action for the Westlake varsity team.

Garruto’s rec league team, the Cleveland Steamers, and other fun-loving members of the league will probably miss him — unless the new father of a two-week-old soccer ball is actually just a jerk and not an entertainer.”

Captain’s armband in the action shot, freakin obviously.

You could have shown me the bullet points in that email and told me they were a list of reasons why this kid was inducted into the Recreational Soccer League Hall of Fame and I would have one thousand percent believed you. That makes a butt ton more sense than him getting booted out of the league for them.

Diego can take his phone and go fly a kite. Brian is a gentleman, a trail blazer and probably a scholar and deserves to have his name chanted by fans from Maine to California. Have fun being shitty and stupid, North Side Co Ed Soccer League.

I would love to sit down and have a beer with this legend when he’s of legal drinking age. In Natty Light bro tanks.

Guy from Willoughby, Australia mistakenly calls Willoughby PD

From Cleveland.com:

“WILLOUGHBY, Ohio — The Willoughby Police Department received a call from slightly outside its jurisdiction this week when it was mistakenly connected to an Australian caller.

The man — who was calling from the Sydney suburb of Willoughby — identified himself as a member of a local bowling club and asked if officers could help prevent break-ins.

Confusion ensued.”

That’s just good clean humor right there folks. Classic mix up. If you can’t laugh at your local police department, who can you laugh at? That’s what I always say.

“Oh right. That’s why you have an accent. Ahhhhh-kay.”

Love this Australian guy more than anything in the world. Just your stereotypical, happy-go-lucky Aussie, looking out for local businesses. He’s the reason people answer “Hmmm…Australia would be cool” when asked where they would go if they could travel anywhere. Even after the mix up, just polite as hell. “Well heck, while I have you on here how’s the weather up there?” Those kids breaking into the bowling alley were probably only doing so to practice so they could get scholarships to college, too. I wish I had an Australian friend.

PS Don’t lie you looked up what 20 degrees centigrade was in American too and also what centigrade means

A Kent State Professor May Or May Not Be In ISIS. He Denies It… OK then!

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are investigating Julio Pino, a Kent State associate history professor, for alleged involvement with the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIl.

A joint terrorism task force has been investigating Pino for the last year and a half, said an FBI special agent who did not wish to be named for safety reasons.

“There is no direct threat to the university,” the agent said.

The agent said they interviewed several faculty members and more than 20 of Pino’s students Tuesday about his alleged involvement. He is also being investigated for allegedly recruiting students to join ISIS.

Kent read. Kent write. Kent… join ISIS?

Yo.

What?

Pino denies it in this video, also from KentWired

Hopefully this is all just a huge misunderstanding. But I know when the FBI gets involved to investigate someone is in ISIS… well, where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. Best case scenario is he’s just one of those radical professors who sometimes says some stuff that is just completely off the rails. Innocent until proven guilty I guess. Although I know if there’s one thing you don’t want to be accused of; it’s being accused of being in ISIS.
