2014 World Cup Stadium In Brazil Collapses

 

You show me one good thing that has come out of Brazil since the news broke about them hosting the 2014 World Cup, and I'll show you one good thing that has come out of Qatar since the news broke about them hosting the 2018 World Cup.

According to Sports Illustrated, "Television images showed that part of a 500-ton metal structure cut through the outer walls of Sao Paulo's Itaquerao Stadium, destroying some of the seats on the east side of the venue and crashing into a massive LED panel that runs across the stadium's facade."

The incident killed at least two people, and investigators are working to figure out what went wrong.

Get John Taffer in here and shut this thing down immediately.  Not that Brazil was in prime shape to begin with, but ever since work has begun for the World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, it has been an absolute zoo.

A-Rod Most Overrated and Now Phoniest MLB Player According to Other MLB Players

Any excuse to use this picture and to talk about how much of a clown Alex Rodriguez is, is welcomed here at Three if by Strike.

In a recent MLB Players poll from Sports' Illustrated, the magazine asked who was the phoniest player in the MLB.  Out of all the players in the entire league, 26 percent of them said A-Rod.  And not to be outdone, Yankees teammate Nick Swisher received 14 percent.

To give you some perspective on this, those two received more votes than the infamous Nyjer "T. Plush" Morgan.

Oh, and as if this wasn't bad enough, A-Rod won top honors on the "Most Overrated Player" poll with 16.8 percent.  Teammate Derek Jeter earned 9.2, and Swisher raked in 5.4 percent.
