Anybody ever heard of Dueling Axes?
www.yahoo.com
In some cases, an establishment closes for a mysterious, undisclosed reason.
Axe-throwing sports bar chain Dueling Axes has closed all of its locations as a result of circumstances outside of the company's control, according to WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio.
Dueling Axes closes all locations
The company did not indicate what circumstances caused it to shut down all five locations as of July 31.
A spokesperson for Dueling Axes was no immediately available for comment.
"The closures resulted from circumstances outside our control and we are deeply saddened that our eight-year journey has ended this way," Dueling Axes said in a statement. "For now, founders Paul and Jess are focused on responsibly wrapping up the company's operations and moving forward into their next chapter."
The Columbus-based axe-throwing sports bar chain has not filed for bankruptcy at last check, and the owners have not revealed their future plans.
The axe-throwing sports bar also opened locations in New Albany, Ohio, and Las Vegas in December 2020, Grove City, Ohio in July 2025 and Cincinnati in August 2025, according to WCMH.
The Downtown Columbus location didn't sell food, but allowed outside food to be brought in. Other locations had kitchens, such as the Cincinnati Dueling Axes, which offered axe-throwing deals with a food menu that included flatbread pizzas, Cuban sandwiches, Paninis, and appetizers such as nachos and tots, according to its website.
"This location has permanently closed. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our New Albany/Hamilton Quarter location," the message read.
"We are incredibly grateful to every guest, team member, neighbor, and partner who supported this location over the years. Thank you for choosing us for your nights out, celebrations, team events, birthdays, date nights, and everything in between.

Just sayin': He had a great run at Ohio State, played 11 seasons in the NFL, and made over $25M in just his NFL contracts.

However, what I mostly remember mostly about him is his mother. His mother Anne Apple led an advocacy effort in January 2015 helping parents of Ohio State players secure travel stipends from the College Football Playoff to attend the national championship game.

Background on the Travel Stipend Fight
- High Costs: Families spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to travel and watch the team play deep into the postseason.
- The Push: Annie Apple and other football parents spoke out publicly and pressured organizers regarding the financial burden.
- The Result: The College Football Playoff and NCAA eventually provided a travel stipend (around $1,250 per parent) to help families offset travel and lodging expenses.

A sampling of Cowboys fans in the replies to that video:

But don't take it from the fans. Let's go to 10-year NFL vet and fellow Cowboy/former Buckeye Malik Hooker and get his thoughts on the rookie who's turning heads.
"Every play he lines up, he feels like he's gonna win that rep, and that's the type of mentality we want on this defense; and especially coming from a guy that we're expecting to play a lot," Hooker said late last week. "And not only play a lot, but to be a difference maker in our defense. Man, to see what he brings to the stable this year too, 'cause, right now, he's everything they hyped him up to be — a special player."
