@matt_T tweeted at me a little earlier, and the message read, “I just saw this today. TNA has a scratch off lottery game in Georgia.” I wasn’t sure what to think. Then, suddenly, I wasn’t sure what not to think.
Collected below are 10 random thoughts I had about the Impact Wrestling scratch-off game.

“Wow!” you’re thinking. “What a crazy clip of adults brawling at a Little League game. I should find out more. I’m sure they had a great reason to fight and weren’t just rolling around on the ground being arrested in front of children because they’re crazy assholes.”

In a report on the dispute, police said Davidson was was playing loud music near the right field fence after Northern won the game. That’s when a woman identified as Rose King and Iram King came over and she demanded that Davidson turn down the music. Chadwick said some teams bring their music to play between innings, before the game or after the game.
Police said Davidson turned down the music, but words were exchanged about the players. Iram King started to walk toward Davidson when he said, “What do you want,” or “Why are you walking over here.”
A witness said Iram King told Davidson,”I’m here to f… you up.”
Davidson’s reply was, “Well, here I am,” before police said the men tussled.

I think the most disturbing thing about this video, other than the fact that this could be my family reunion, is the weird camera work. Was this taped with that Matrix camera that spins around you? Were those crane shots? Did our shot go through the fence, and why is Orson Welles storyboarding our Little League Dad fights?
Anyway, the moral of the story as always is this: don’t be these guys.

But he did it with a baseball bat, so it’s totally a sports story now. What I love about this video is that dude just gets himself warmed up and then just stops. He has great power for a lefty; I’d say that he’s been juicing, but he’s not showing any other symptoms of steroid use.
Westley Strellis has been hit himself – with 29 counts of criminal damage to property in nthe second degree.
Witnesses tell police he grabbed a metal baseball bat from the sporting goods section yesterday, walked a couple of aisles over to the electronics area – and started whaling on the displays.
Police say the TV sets are valued at over $22,000. –NBC2 Ft. Myers.
Georgia is sort of no-man’s-land in terms of Walmart. People on the east coast generally loathe Walmart, and people in the midwest generally like them. But stop in think, this guy would have had to visit two different stores to do this anyplace else. It’s time we starting appreciating these retail superpowers a bit more, or at least until somebody starts shooting up the discount clothing section with a Remington shotgun after being turned down for cough medicine at the pharmacy.

I don’t really know how you feel about teacher-student sex or coach-player sex at the high school level. Personally, I have a hard time looking at some 16-year-old kid as a “victim” when he’s hitting some hot 23-year-old teacher. But that’s me. And, apparently now, the state of Georgia, whose landmark decision from its state supreme court has changed the landscape on age-of-consent laws in that state.
Melissa Lee Chase, a former high school softball coach, had a 10-year sentence overturned by that court last month. The conviction, stemming from a relationship with a 16-year-old at her school, was overturned since Chase was not allowed to use the 16-year-old’s consent as a defense. From The School Law Blog at Education Week:
The age of consent for sex in Georgia is 16, although school personnel are subject to the state law, revised in 2006, that bars them from sex with those under their supervision. The 16-year-old was in Chase’s class, but their romantic relationship began later. The girl testified that she had initiated and “pushed” the relationship with the teacher.
