George Mason Finally Joins the Win Column with Mr. Belding in Attendance

Saturday was 90s night at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, VA and Dennis Haskins, aka Mr. Belding from TV's Saved by the Bell, was in attendance for the festivities.


And as we reflect on the woeful start to what was once a promising season for the George Mason Patriots, perhaps nobody captures the sentiments of Mason Nation quite like "Mr. B" himself, with his famous catchphrase, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What is going on here?"

Well, you can rest easy, Patriots fans. In a campus game of the Emerald Coast Classic, Mason used a late first half run to take a double digit lead over Southern University, and never relinquished it, holding off a Jaguars rally to escape with a 69-65 win, their first of the season.

Here's more from ESPN:
The Patriots (1-3) shot 22 of 51 from the field, but struggled from distance, hitting just 4 of 20 attempts from beyond the arc. Livingston hit 7 of 18 field goal attempts but was 0-for-6 from long range. AJ Wilson has 12 points and Jaire Grayer and Justin Kier each contributed 11. Eddie Reese scored 21 points for Southern (0-4). Richard Lee added 11 points.

Okay, so it's a less than impressive win over a team that isn't very good, but beggars can't be choosers, and when you're 0-3, you'll take what you can get, right?


Ouch!

The season may be young, but the Patriots have reached a critical juncture. The 0-3 start has all but eliminated any realistic hopes of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in March and this team needs to get better before the conference schedule opens.


At the end of the day, maybe we should all just be happy that things didn't turn out like they did the last time Belding showed his face at a basketball game.

John Mara's Celebrity Niece Unsurprisingly Kowtows to Anthem Protesters

Actress Kate Mara, a member of a prestigious NFL football family, recently came out in favor of players who protest against the country during the national anthem.

The Pose star, whose family has stakes in the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers, told Variety that she supports what ever decision the players make on the protests, “whatever that might be.”

Mara’s uncle, Giants co-owner John Mara, was integral in creating the aborted NFL policy requiring players to either stand on the sidelines for the anthem or allowing them to stay in the locker room during the song.

Unlike her uncle, though, the actress opposes rules that would force the players to stand in honor of the country and flag during the Star-Spangled Banner.

Ice Cube Defends Dak Prescott's Patriotic Stance on National Anthem Protests

[ PHOTO: INDEPENDENT JOURNAL REVIEW ]


Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shown above right) is one of a handful of NFL athletes who refuse to protest the national anthem.

“It’s bigger than … some of us think. I mean, it’s just important for me to go out there, hand over my heart, represent our country, and just be thankful. And not take anything I’ve been given and my freedom for granted,” he has said about his respect for the national anthem and the American flag.

It may be a patriotic stance that many fans will celebrate, but it has earned Prescott some angry responses from leftist celebrities.

On his radio show, comedian D.L. Hughley compared Prescott to a slave — and actually used the word “boy” to describe him.

4 Things to Bring With You to Enjoy Any Sporting Event

How ‘bout them Cowboys?! As pre-season gets into full swing and America gears up for the upcoming football season, sports fans are prepping their barbecues and coolers for tailgating and partying to celebrate the country’s most popular sport.

Indeed, the end of summer is signaled by cooler weather, the start of football and the close of baseball, as it heads into the home stretch for the playoffs. Wherever your sports heart lies—be it with football, baseball, basketball or hockey—there’s a code of conduct when you’re supporting your favorite team at the next home game. In fact, there’s an unspoken rule for fans everywhere: Be passionate about your team, but not obnoxious.

To ensure your next trip to the arena, stadium or ballpark is as relaxing and successful as ever, here are some key items to bring:

• Alcohol and sports go hand in hand, and no one is disputing that. So, enjoy a nice, tall beer and some good-natured ribbing with your fellow fans, but remember to be a good sport and be respectful of your stadium neighbor(s).

• Pack binoculars and seat cushions. Not only will you be comfortable, but you’ll be able to see the action, plays and players so close, it will be as if you were on the field.

• Bring some snacks and drinks. Many venues allow this, and you’ll save a ton of green by packing your own.

• Don’t forget your spittoon. Being at an arena or stadium crammed shoulder to shoulder with someone can be uncomfortable and leave you exposed, to say the least. If you’re a smokeless tobacco user, there’s even less chance for you take a “dip” and spit.

That is, unless you own a portable spittoon created by Atlanta-based FLASR. These new 4-ounce pocket-sized spittoons are designed for users to easily open and close with just one hand, making them ideal items to bring to the next sports event or any other public setting so you can privately enjoy your tasty tobacco. Another advantage to the FASR flask is its advanced closing mechanism that ensures it stays securely closed when not in use, eliminating the risk of any messy spills or leaks.
