Calling all non-athletic students… the University of Maryland has formed a competitive eating team. The club was formed last week by Keith Solomon who told AOL, “We are completly serious about this.”
Solomon founded the club in his freshmen year, and now in his junior year it has become official. Already, the club has 30 members. It is the first collegiate competitive eating team, but Solmon hopes it will soon be a scholastic sport.
“The University of Maryland motto is ‘Fear the Turtle,’” Solomon said. “Our motto is ‘Feed the Turtle.’”

Reggie Bush is allegedly engaged to his new girlfriend of 6 months Mayra Veronica… who isn’t Kim Kardashian. Personally, I’m not buying it, but the hashtag is trending on Twitter and this is Thejerseychaser.com.
Mayra Veronica is a Cuban born singer and actress who was spotted wearing an engagement ring at the Latin Grammy Awards. @MayraVeronica has posted pictures of her wearing the ring on Twitter since August. Veronica is the rumored “other woman” who Reggie Bush cheated on Kim Kardashian with.
There has been no official statement released by Veronica or Bush’s people. In the past, Veronica has used Bush to gain publicity, even wearing a signed Bush jersey while grocery shopping earlier this month.

Despite swindling LeBron James from Cleveland, the Miami Heat have not lived up to their much anticipated hype. Though early into the season, the Heat are only 9-8… just barley above 500, and Mr. James is not happy about it. After the Heat’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks 106-95 last night, LeBron purposely bumped into Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra.
This is not the first time LeBron has not gotten along with his coaching staff. Last off season, in an attempt to keep LeBron in Cleveland, the Cavaliers fired head coach Mike Brown.
It has been widely speculated Spoelstra will be fired. Even LA Lakers legendary head coach Phil Jakcson believes Heat President and Hall-of-Fame coach Pat Riley will take over the team.
Jackson told ESPN 1000, “That’s kind of my take on it, is that eventually if things don’t straighten out here soon, it could be the Van Gundy thing all over again.”
Jackson later apologized for his comments, but it looks like he was just saying whatever else is thinking, including LeBron.
