Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Jim Harbaugh will now be in charge of the L.A. Chargers.
Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh Leaving For NFL
It was announced yesterday that Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is moving on to the warmth of sunny California to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. I saw something yesterday that speculated that he was going to take his whole coaching staff with him. That’s really a huge loss for the school, but hey, there isn’t a better time for him to leave than now after bringing the National Championship to his alma mater. And he doesn’t have to deal with all the NCAA mess.
I think most of the comments I’ve seen online from fans are like, ‘Congratulations, you deserve this. You’ve done all of this here in Michigan and it’s time to move on’. Plus, there have only been three coaches who’ve won an NCAA National Championship and a Super Bowl. So, if he’s able to go to the NFL and win a Super Bowl, he’d be the fourth.
Britney is at it again. Allegedly. Rumor is that she’s been banned by a hotel chain for skinny dipping in their pool.
Britney Reportedly Banned From Hotel For Skinny Dipping
You never know what Britney Spears is up to these days. Apparently, she has now been banned from the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles due to complaints of her bizarre behavior and instances of stripping off by the pool. Basically, skinny dipping in the pool. They said that she stays there often and staff has allegedly been frustrated by some of her antics. But apparently it’s just an accusation as of right now. Like, they don’t know if it’s actually true. And if it was true, don’t you think there’s already be a picture online? There’s not a blurry security cam video. There’s nothing. But at the same time, I can totally see it happening. I’m not going to deny that it could’ve happened because Britney has been very erratic, to say the least.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson has violated the NBA’s anti-drug policy and been suspended for 25 games. Guess that gives him more time to spend with Khloe Kardashian.
NBA Suspends Tristan Thompson
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson has been suspended without pay for 25 games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program. He tested positive for two performance enhancing drugs. The comments online though have been brutal. ‘He cheats at everything’. Someone said, ‘Taking performance enhancing drugs with no performance’. Thompson is having a rough season, only averaging 3.8 points a game. So, those performing enhancers clearly haven’t been working for him. Now I guess he’ll just be hanging out at Khloé Kardashian’s house on the West Coast, sitting on her couch and eating up her food or whatever.
Ranking The 5 Best NBA Uniforms Of The 90's
#5 Utah Jazz
This Jazz logo is back these days. However, the purple away threads with yellow Utah Jazz across the chest remains a very 1990’s look. The basketball embedded in the “J” brings the logo to new level. The home look was exactly the same , it just featured a white uniform. Jazz Legends that wore this include Karl Malone and John Stockton.

#4 Orlando Magic
This was the original Magic look. The team’s first season was in 1989, and they wore the white pinstripe home, and black pinstripe aways until 1998. The team made it to their first Finals appearance, sporting this look in 1995. Magic legends who wore this include Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway.

#3 Phoenix Suns
The Suns sported a similar design model to the Jazz with a prominent graphic wrapped around the chest. The Suns made the list for two reasons. First, this look was such an upgrade from the previous uniform design, which really bland. Second, it was synonymous with that infamous team that took the Chicago Bulls to six games in the 1993 Finals. Suns legends that wore this include Charles Barkley and Dan Majerle.

#2 Seattle Supersonics
Oh wow. The green with the white Sonics ribbon and yellow numbers is as classic ’90s basketball as you can get. The green and yellow may also be the best color combination in NBA history. It just fit Seattle and even rock stars like Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament wore these jerseys loud and proud. The Sonics should have never gone away from them in mid-’90s and Seattle should have never let the Sonics go. Supersonics legends who wore this include Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton.

#1 Charlotte Hornets
The teal and purple were just so out of the ordinary. When the Hornets came into the league in 1988 they immediately took the court marching to their own beat. They embraced the clip-art bumble bee. In contrast, both their home and away jersey only said “Charlotte” across the chest as opposed to “Hornets.” A more modern, upgraded look is what the team wears now. It slightly pays respect to their beyond entertaining teams of the ’90s. Hornets legends that wore this include Larry “Grandmama” Johnson and Alonzo Mourning.
