Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Lettuce introduce you to the live frog found in this grocery store salad bag

Login to view embedded media
When Australian farmer Rhys Smoker announced he’d found a live frog in a bag of lettuce, his housemates didn’t believe him.

Smoker had been preparing a steak and salad dinner on Saturday for the three people who share his house in Esperance in Western Australia state when he spotted the frog among the leaves inside the sealed plastic bag he’d bought from a supermarket, housemate Laura Jones said on Tuesday.

“He’s like, ‘Oh Bro, there’s a frog in the lettuce.’ And we’re like, ‘No, you’re taking the mick, like that’s not real,’” Jones told AP. Taking the mick is a slang term for attempting to fool someone.

Smoker brought the bag into the lounge room to show Jones and her partner Billy Le Pine.

“Obviously there’s a little frog hiding out and, yeah, we all had a little laugh about it,” Jones said.

Le Pine said they named the frog Greg before releasing it at a pond near the house.

“We thought we’d give him a wee send off tune as we played Crazy Frog for him,” Le Pine told Australian Broadcasting Corp. Crazy Frog is a Swedish CGI-animated character and Eurodance musician.

Smoker and his partner Lilli Ashby had bought the lettuce at a Woolworths supermarket in Esperance the same day Greg was discovered.

Five years ago, a shopper confronted a 3-meter-long (10-foot-long) nonvenomous diamond python on a shelf of a Woolworths supermarket in Sydney. Also in 2021, a shopper discovered a venomous pale-headed snake wrapped in plastic with lettuce in an ALDI Sydney supermarket.

Premier League (Official Thread)


SIGHS HEAVILY... Well, at least one “football” knows how to punish its teams for cheating.

HIsyo9nXYAAZUxa


Southampton cheats and the English Premier League levies a postseason ban and a four-point reduction in the Championship. Michigan cheats and it gets a slap on the wrist.

I will never forgive the NCAA for what it has become.


All bark, no bite.

NHL Buckeye Tracker

Fucking Habs. Come on, Carolina — end this nightmare.


“I LIKE WHEN YOU’RE THE VILLAIN.” Jakub Dobeš loves being the villain.

The former Ohio State goaltender delivered a bounce-back performance for the lifetime on Monday for the Montreal Canadiens, who defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on the road in overtime in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Dobeš, who allowed six goals and was pulled from Game 6 on Saturday, recorded 37 saves, including a huge stop on Tage Thompson in overtime, to secure a matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL playoffs.

His efforts were fueled by Sabres fans, who trash talked him all evening, especially when the Canadiens surrendered a 2-0 lead in the second and third periods.

The 24-year-old Dobeš never wavered. In fact, he welcomed their chirps.

“I like that,” he said. “I like when you’re the villain.”

Canadiens forward Zachary Bolduc said he had no doubt Dobeš would bounce forward — a term often used by head coach Martin St. Louis — after his poor performance in Game 6.

“He’s been our best player since the first game of the playoffs,” Bolduc said. “We had all our confidence in him. … We’re not surprised the way he bounced forward.”

Forward Josh Anderson agreed.

“He’s been great the whole playoffs, honestly,” he said. “We have the utmost confidence in him back there. He’s made some huge saves in both series. You just knew he was going to have a big night.”

Looking ahead, Dobeš faces a tremendous challenge against the Hurricanes, who swept the Ottawa Senators and the Philadelphia Flyers in Rounds 1 and 2 while outscoring both teams 24-10 across eight games. The series kicks off Thursday at 8 p.m. in Raleigh, North Carolina. The game will be broadcast on TNT and truTV.

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Filin, Carpico to Compete for US Open Entry​

Top American collegiate tennis players will compete for a wild card spot in the 2026 US Open during a playoff June 16-18 in Orlando, the USTA announced Monday.

The Ohio State doubles team of Nikita Filin and Brandon Carpico, finalists at the 2025 NCAA Doubles Championship, will represent the Buckeyes at the event.

The full player fields will be selected May 27. Player selections will be determined by a committee made up of USTA staff, college tennis coaches and an ITA representative. American NCAA singles and doubles champions this season along with the finalists earned automatic entry.

All matches will be played at the USTA National Campus' Collegiate Center.

The second-year playoff is part of an expanded NCAA-linked wild card pilot program that guarantees at least six US Open wild cards to American collegiate players each year, coinciding with the NCAA DI Individual Championships shifting to the fall.

Filin and Carpico were ranked as high as No. 1 in the ITA weekly rankings this season. The pair finished with an overall record of 37-6 with a 22-3 record in duals. Playing primarily at the No. 1 doubles spot, they put together a 15-2 record at the top of Ohio State's doubles lineup. Overall, the pair was 17-3 against nationally-ranked opponents in 2025-26.

Ohio State finished 32-5 this season. The team earned its 20th-consecutive Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to the program's 18th appearance in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.

Parody and quote from American Dad. A pop culture reference. The 'Miami' part is the give away.

Meanwhile you post, then delete 4chan links referencing the "Austrian Painter". So spare me.

Long and short, you're trash. Which is why most of what you spew is just that. You really have no place on this board. Hell, you can't even contribute to the football conversation which is the greatest sin in my book.

The fact you haven't been given the permanent boot is a stain on this board.
And it's even more telling that those with the ability to do so either have a blind spot or have been intentionally neglectful.
Just own it

2028 UT OL Taio Fanu (Verbal Offer)

Forget the weight, There are no 6-4 tackles any more at elite levels.

6-4 240 is LB size man, there is no way that guy can physically play tackle at OSU levels. The measurements have to be wrong.
I read on another site that his brother, Spencer was the same size at the same age. Spencer was a freshman at Utah weighing 270lbs. So it seems like he's a similar size as his big brother

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

Starting a tournament on Tuesday when the weekend guys are unavailable and you are stuck with the back end of bad pitching depth makes it difficult to win. Hopefully next year brings a bit better pitching depth. That's always going to be tough for "cold weather" schools, but ours is currently very bad and improvable.
I believe they have some good pitchers in the pipeline
