Yea I was thinking the same thing. When did Mike change his name. :-)

Taste like chicken.

Winning coach Bubba van Gogh declined to press charges. The entire game will be shown on Pay Per Chew.

I've had an earful of these kinds of stories.

Awesome puctuations!

What the heck is wrong with "coaches" and why do suckers continue to worship them? Coach Bobby Knight's PMS temper tantrums... Sandusky's nude showers.... now Mr. Ear Biter. One quiet scientist in a medical research lab is worth ten million of these losers. henry_westin@hotmail.com

I hear ya :)

Westin-1802121 - Although I agree w/ what you are saying on principle I do have a counterpoint. First is it's very wrong to compare Bobby Knight w/ Jerry Sandusky. Second, Bobby Knight made millions of dollars for the institutions he coached at because sporting events generate revenue. The better the program, the bigger the name, the more money it makes. So when a successful sports teams makes those millions of dollars, sure Bobby Knight is well compensated, but where does the rest of that money go to? Back into the University where they build new residence halls (dorms) and upgrade medical research facilities w/ better equipment. The same facility your quiet scientist is working in.

Sports are very important, especially w/ young children. Obesity in this country is outrageous and sports is a great way to curve that trend. Sports help children learn a solid work ethic that can be extended far into life, especially when sports are gone and now you're just a medical researcher. The only way to have sports is w/ coaches. Most coaches are role models and teach kids to be responsible adults. Some do not but there are bad apples in everything, even in the medical research field. So, coaches serve their purpose and a lot of them earn the respect they receive.

Finally - did you really think that "Mr. Ear Biter" is worshiped? He is an assistant coach on a 6th grade basketball team. Get a clue...

just glad... he didn't chew the kid's heads off... for losing...

Isnt it earotating that some people cant appreciate good ear humor? And wtf to those of you in any given forum who start talking about all kinds of @!$%# that had nothing at all to do with the article? AND YES JACKASSES I KNOW I MISSPELLED EAROTATING< I DID IT ON PURPOSE DWEEB

Listen to me you wimp...what?..I said listen to me..oh here's your ear back..now listen to me you wimp..what?

I bet he chewed their asses though

denver bill 2 Ha ha. Nice one Denver.

When asked for comment, the victim said: "What?"

Springfield ,MA is home to the Basketball Hall of Fame. it can now host the Basketball Hall of Shame as well.

Finally saw mug shot..........nuff said!

I think they call them "thug" shots in the "hood"

What is it with hood rats and biting ears?

he's just living up to his steriotypical image

Irish: You know what sports do as well? They make people bat @!$%# insane. Rioting in stadiums, beating fans to death....I think we can find other ways of losing weight.

Tech_man20 - We are not talking about about European Soccer games. We are talking about organized sports in America. I'll say this again though, everything has a negative, nothing is perfect. But in sports, the good out weighs the bad. Also, don't confuse murders w/ sports fans. I've been in many of opposing stadiums where I've received courtesy, good natured ribbing, and threatening comments. I have to say I've received much more of the first two. People who are willing to fight or kill in defense of a sports team are not actually doing it in defense of the sports team. They are doing it because there is something mentally wrong w/ them. Sane people do not kill in defense of their favorite team. Some insane people have the ability to kill, it's just what triggers that ability. I promise you that trigger is not the Cubs losing to the Cardinals, it's the lack of self control of rage.

@Tech_man: So do politics, the only difference is that with sports, there is alcohol involved.

Hope the judge sentences him to a full mouth tooth pulling. Any future sports event He attends He must surrender his dentures.

So do politics, the only difference is that with sports, there is alcohol involved.

Sounds like someone never heard of the late Ted Kennedy ;)

He is not mike tyson, he is his brother.

from anutha mutha

Hope he did not put the ear in his lunch pail like Jeffrey Dahmer.

frank-1216711 No he did not put the ear in his lunch pail. lol...

Still, one must ask Timothy Lee Forbes, 34, WHAT THE FONGONUS IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? !!

the winning coach has a new nick name , it's SUE

Everyone knows that Massachusetts is well known for taxpayer-funded earmarks thanks to greedy special interest politicians, but now for crazy wacko coaches? Will wonders never cease.

In any event, I have never understood the animal-like, monkey-like nature of a human being driven to bite of the ear of another human being. Punching one in the face or kicking one in the nuts I can understand. Biting an ear lobe I cannot. Freaks.

Yes, we are one sick country.

Ear today...Gone Tomorrow!

I guess he was a little upset thank god he wasn't mad it would have been a nose at that point ....

Nickname Chewbacca, by any chance?

If you're gonna be charged with a crime...being charged with "mayhem" sounds bad^ss.

lol

Was this a church team playing at the Holy Name School? The coach should have turned the other cheek so the assistant coach could reach the other ear!

Irish23--"We are not talking about about European Soccer games. We are talking about organized sports in America." Yeah, we're so much more civilized than those European Neanderthals and this incident is living proof. (LOL) I really appreciate and respect the drive to win many have in sports. But come on 6th graders?

Well, you know what they say, "Ear today, gone tomorrow!"

This is somewhat of unsportsmanlike conduct...

Irish23,

Good point in #1.26.

Guess what I bit off when my girlfriend dumped me for another guy?

As I have always said, competition arises out of a fear of lack. I remember the ruthlessness that was taught to me as a child, how important it is to "BEAT the other guy, kill the other team..." I was the too tall kid who wore glasses and (regardless of skill) was picked last for a team because my eyesight was (according to the "jocks") substandard. Well, there you have it, COMPETITION has the propensity for unlimited violence even to the point of death. Years later as an adult i drove school busses to "Friday Night Lights" or should it have been called "Friday Night Fights"?

Remember Brian Stow...nuff said.

You know society sucks when there needs to be security in kids games to keep the adults in check.

This story is kinda eerie. Or is that earie?

a month? that's pretty harsh comrade Sally

Condolences for an ear-ly demise

Nom!

Sally, I think banning him for a month is unneccessary.

Can you flag the admins for no value?

Sally did write "Last Chance" so this probably is not the first time for that particular offense, in which case I say "Kudos to you Sally."

I hope that in addition to being tried for this crime, this man is never allowed to be in any position involving children. He is a sad excuse for a man and not a good example for young people to follow.

Chicken fried ears and waxed beans!

Ears ... the other white meat.

The biter later said he had problems getting the wax out of between his teeth.

Can you hear me now? I joke, but there is a victim here. I think people who commit attacks like this should be dealt with rather sternly. Anger management and coping skills after jail and fine.

Sat that again, I didn't hear you.

And the lesson of the game is: when angry (or when you lose) ATTACK. What are coaches teaching? What happened to fair play?

I really do not think alcohol had anything to do with 6th grade sports. You will find beer at the NBA, NFL and MLB stadiums and that usually causes the fans that have mental problems an excuse to act out. It in no way should affect the coaches or players unless they are taking a nip or two before the game or during half time. Sports is not the problem. It always boils down to idiots.

Westin 1802121

I resent that you said Bobby Knight was PMSing. Women don't do this kind of sh*t. It's always the men. Over and over and over. Not only would a woman not have done this, a woman wouldn't think it was amusing, either. Even when she was PMSing.

Come on people, this is sixth grade Basketball for god sakes. The Bity coach should have his ear taken off, and fed to him to eat. Then he can complain about the bad game callen. HA HA HA, not funny people, there is a major problem with sports in our schools. March Madnesss my ass.

Al-State, be protected from "mayhem". I love those commercials, I see a spin off.

had he bit him on both ears...would it be ok... to call it a... 'double nibble'...

Nobody tell mike tyson to eat his heart out ok?

What a poor sport!

He was going to base his NCAA bracket choices on the outcome of this game. He lost, then realized it was only a sixth grade game after all. This prompted his w'ear'd behavior.

No excuse, it is St. Patty Day coming up, Green is the color, not Red (BLOOD).

Sources please or is this just something you imagined.

He is being sarcastic.

Figured as much. I just find it sad that we sterotype people's actions. He speaks of the salt of Earth and yet he represents lies.

I believe downrange15 is making a joke on how people who do things like this usually have some sob story about how they're crazy so they should get off scott free. It's a thing called being a smarta** because life is really just that stupid so you must mock it.

You forgot sociopath and addiction to entertainment that depicts lots of violence.

Philipp: get a sense of humor, pal...downrange15 is being playful and what he said is an EARnest take off on lawyer-speak. That's what the lawyers will say to get the ear biter off. Do you get it now?

hahhaah Downranger. I thought your post was funny. Sounds typical of what we see on the news every night. It's never the perps fault. It's always the fault of their childhood traumas.

Must have had ADHD as a kid and never grew out of it!

See, this is why it should be legal to kill people. Don't have to worry about over populating!

This is just a joke for all you sensative people reading this. Don't take it seriously!

BigPaul if that's your dog he/she is beautiful.

Sounds like perfect coaching material Downrange15! Both my sons played basketball and I have to say the coaches when they were in middleschool were all psychotic. There should be some kind of background check required for anyone wanting to coach minors.

Sportsmanship?

He was teaching them how to D-bone an ear!

Reading comprehension fail.

"neither team is affiliated with the Holy Name School"

Holy Earlobe Batman

Yes indeed he needs to be accountable for his actions. It seems like he needs a psychological evaluation too. If he would do this in front of an entire gym full of kids and parents, just imagine what he must be like at home behind closed doors. If you are reading this and you are married to this man - NOW would be the time to seek help and get out of that abusive situation. Don't stay and let you or your children become the next persons to be harmed. Wow.

Savage. Thats some example to impressionable kids. Ridiculous and shameful.

I "Heard" it was a "Lo-cartilage" ear!

Ya, it was a cauliflower ear

I truly hope you are being sarcastic.

I don't he was being sarcastic.

WHAT?

got me some tooth proof...ear muff's on...huh...type louder...

Right on

But it's STRUCTURED violence, and therefore socially acceptable.

"I like violence...because they smell so nice."..Bullwinkle Moose

What's all this I hear about violins on TV? ... Emily Littella

John and Wild Bill:

Thanks for the Memories!! LOL

really???

OK, you too Panthony!
