Harlem Shake Video Ends With High School Hockey Team Forfeiting Playoff Game
All, High School Sports, Hockey February 18th. 2013, 10:40am
The Nyack-Tappan Zee hockey team will forfeit their Section 1 state playoff game this week because administrators were not happy with their version of the Harlem Shake. The video above shows the Nyack-Tappan Zee squad’s version of the meme. It is your typical, silly, stupid Harlem Shake video. According to LoHud Hockey Blog, a player confirmed the forfeit was because of the video on Twitter. Congratulations to whoever made the final decision on this. He or she has set a new world record for overreaction.
Update: I honestly didn’t notice the kid wearing nothing but a sock… Sorry. Maybe this wasn’t a total overreaction.

From the EIC in this morning’s round-up….
please go away, Harlem Shake
February 18th, 2013 at 10:43 AM
You didn’t fucking warn me that there was a kid with a sock over his dick.
WHAT THE HELL MAN
February 18th, 2013 at 10:43 AM
Good for them.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:44 AM
The guy was fake anal raping that one dude with a hockey stick and that other guy was doing a Red Hot Chili Peppers impersonation. Seems reasonable that they’d get in trouble for it.
/I cracked and watched the video.
//Thank god these things are only 30 seconds long.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:44 AM
This concludes our Halloween posts.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:46 AM
Agreed. Doesn’t seem like that bad of an overreaction. Maybe slightly, but dude. Rape jokes are not taken well by HS admins.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:49 AM
From the Jordan piece by Wright Thompson:
Wow.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:50 AM
Unless you’re in Ohio and play football.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:51 AM
nice sock bro
February 18th, 2013 at 10:52 AM
Lotta homos in that vid.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:52 AM
Groundbreaking tidbits about an insanely wealthy megastar are the reason Wright Thompson makes the big-fedora bucks.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:52 AM
Not shocking that MJ is an arrogant, unlikeable prick
February 18th, 2013 at 10:53 AM
I know you like to rip everyone, but Thompson is about as good as it gets. He’s fantastic, and this piece is great.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:54 AM
I love everything about Michael Jordan. I can’t help it. He’s completely unimpeachable in my mind.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:54 AM
I watched game three of the 91 ECF on ESPN Classic the other day and had completely forgotten how much he looks like his dad did back then. Ahmad was interviewing him in the stands and it was absolutely jarring, they gained weight in the same places and everything.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:55 AM
He’s Kobe on steroids, but he was blessed by the god of timing in that twitter, facebook and even ESPN hadn’t blown up just yet.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:57 AM
Yeah I know I just find it funny that those things are a “wow” inducing statement. That behavior wouldn’t shock me from a bench warmer on most professional sports teams let alone someone like Jordan.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:57 AM
I love everything about Michael Jordan. I can’t help it. He’s completely unimpeachable in my mind.
Coming from a commentator named Chicago why don’t I find this surprising. Tell me your feelings on Ditka.
February 18th, 2013 at 10:58 AM
This piece is a great study into what happens when the most competitive athlete in the world gets old. It’s one thing to be a competitive businessman. You can do that shit until you’re 90, but to lose the athletic ability, but still have that insane drive has to be awful at times.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:01 AM
Well I was born ’87, so I still love him but it’s more a love that came from watching old VHS tapes with my dad.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:03 AM
shame they had to forfeit, but at least they won the homo hockey championship
February 18th, 2013 at 11:07 AM
I honestly didn’t notice the kid wearing nothing but a sock…
Not to get all Coop up in here, but how in the hell did you not notice that? I was cataloging all the stupid shit these fools were doing to see if it crossed the “overreaction” threshold. They’re lucky they aren’t getting suspended and only having to forfeit a game.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:12 AM
Wright must have cut the part out where Jordan’s dad got murdered because of MJ’s gambling problem.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:12 AM
but at least they won the homo hockey championship
Department of redundancy department must have written this.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:13 AM
February 18th, 2013 at 11:14 AM
This seems like horrible advice.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:15 AM
I feel the same way, and I grew up rooting for the Knicks in the ’90s. I hated Reggie, Smits, Mourning, Hardaway, Pippen, Rodman, etc., but absolutely loved MJ.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:17 AM
This seems like horrible advice.
Yeah. C’mon man – a nice glass of bourbon on ice is much better.

I still like the Bulls because of Jordan’s time with them, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized the reason people hate Kobe is because he’s very much like Jordan (not as good, though). If Jordan played in the same media era as players do now, our opinion of him would be quite different.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:19 AM
But seriously, though. You’re a doctor and your prescription for someone who isn’t sleeping is to crush a few beers after each game? That just seems lazy.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:22 AM
But seriously, though. You’re a doctor and your prescription for someone who isn’t sleeping is to crush a few beers after each game? That just seems lazy.
I’m not sure which is worse – prescribing alcohol or sleeping pills – many of which are addictive.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:23 AM
I would think maybe work on other things and then use pills as a last resort.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:25 AM
Yeah, the time where an athlete can attain an almost mystical/heroic persona has passed. Even with MJ’s struggles post basketball, I think most still hold him in that same light.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:25 AM
I don’t know anything about sleep issues. I can read a book or listen to music and it drops me right off. I’d guess there are alternatives – tea, warm milk, certain exercises – I don’t know. Maybe the beer advice is common.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:27 AM
This is sarcasm right?
February 18th, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Why, is there anyone today that is as universally adored?
February 18th, 2013 at 11:36 AM
horrible…but effective!
February 18th, 2013 at 11:38 AM
Messi, Federer, Nadal, Phelps – Tiger and Lance before being taken down.
If anything I think it’s easier for people to be elevated now than it was before given that there is so much more exposure.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:41 AM
He’s like Jordan but he’s not Jordan. It was always going to suck for whoever had to follow Jordan. Also Kobe’s brush with the law never would have happened to MJ – dude was untouchable. To this day nobody really knows the truth about how far his gambling issues went.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:41 AM
If anything I think it’s easier for people to be elevated now than it was before given that there is so much more exposure.
Tom Brady and Derek Jeter were the first to come to mind.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Gambling (the finest thing a person can do, if he’s good at it) is a natural part of sports, being brought up on a rape beef is a tad different.
Also Jordan never refused to play for the team that drafted him either.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Federer is a great example. Dude is unimpeachable a this point. And we can all agree that Messi is a god.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:44 AM
I can read a book or listen to music and it drops me right off. I’d guess there are alternatives – tea, warm milk, certain exercises – I don’t know. Maybe the beer advice is common.
sex.
bust, roll over, snore
February 18th, 2013 at 11:45 AM
People hate both of these guys, they both play for hated teams. There wasnt near this much hate for MJ’s Bulls.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:46 AM
Well the guy started by saying “heroic/mythical persona” and then changed it to “universally adored” which are completely different things, to be fair.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:47 AM
It seems that so many people nowadays forget that Brady ditched Moynihan and started dating Giselle right after Moynihan got pregnant.
Rookie move. You just gotta give them the herp
/Jeter’d
February 18th, 2013 at 11:48 AM
I don’t think Michael Phelps is universally adored. There is a lot of anti-phelps sentiment.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:48 AM
LOLz.
/so true
February 18th, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Living in Indianapolis for the first run of Bulls titles I can assure you it’s bullshit to say Jordan was universally adored, though. Absolute bullshit.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:50 AM
Federer and Messi might be the only two. Rafa is probably there, too, though. Phelps has a lot of haters. Brady’s last 7 years fo his career have somewhat hurt him (which is somewhat funny to me) due to the lack of SB success.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:51 AM
i never liked Jordan because I grew up in Massachusetts and am a Celtics fan
February 18th, 2013 at 11:51 AM
It will be great to see how long Messi can be this dominant
February 18th, 2013 at 11:51 AM
During his first run he wasn’t. He is now, though. That’s what we’re saying. Before he won his first few titles he was seen as a chucker by many.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:52 AM
It’s absurd to think that he hasn’t technically hit his prime yet (26-28). That blows my mind, actually.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Yeah I guess I meant a combination of both. I was thinking more along the lines of Ruth, Ali, MJ. That’s might also be more of a once in a generation thing as well. I do think the “mystical” part is harder now with all the access and scrutiny.
Messi was a good example, he might be the closest today.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Before Phil Jackson and Pippen came along, Jordan got so much shit from media and fans as much if not more than LeBron. Chucker, ballhog, too selfish
February 18th, 2013 at 11:54 AM
I think to maintain the “heroic/mythic” status you have to be an intensely private person, rarely grant interviews (or give the most cliched, boring interviews ever a la Jeter or Tiger) and find a way to keep people out of your life. Not only is that so hard in the TMZ world we live in, but so many of these guys want to go the Charles Barkley, Michael Strahan post-career TV route. LeBron tweets a million times a day. Federer might work for this b/c i dont know a damn thing about him, but then again i dont follow tennis very closely.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:55 AM
he keeps to himself with his wife and kids, plays a lot of tennis, and has that clothing line with the ugly RF logo
February 18th, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Easier to attain, harder to maintain, I think.
Someone like Messi’s image is expertly crafted by his employers.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Moynihan pulled the goalie though knowing Brady was going to leave her as a last ditch chance to get him to stay.
/Star magazine’d
February 18th, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Fuck that shit. That logo is awesome. If you ever get to read any good profiles of Federer it’s really hard not to like him. Seems genuinely nice, is insanely good at what he does and seems to have struck a balance between being a family man and a tennis player.
He barely has an image over here. He doesn’t speak English and rarely does interviews.
February 18th, 2013 at 11:59 AM
I would guess JMac wrote about it for US Magazine
February 18th, 2013 at 11:59 AM
I don’t think tennis players have as much of a cultural impact as other athletes so I didn’t really think about them. Same could go for golf. (except pre-scandal Tiger)
Adrian Peterson might be another one that could get to that level fairly soon, forgot about that dude.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:00 PM
ALL IN ON STUPID CULTURAL ISOLATION STATEMENTS
February 18th, 2013 at 12:00 PM
The coolest sports story to me though, if that Rafa still lives with his family and drives a minivan to go fishing.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:01 PM
This. Also nice to see that he seems like a normal dude and not one who needed to date a supermodel. His wife is a pretty lady. She’s no model type but I find her attractive.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:01 PM
They do globally, just not in the states unless they’re American. Globally tennis is massive, and guys like Federer, Rafa and Djokovic are huge celebrities.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:01 PM
a goal for Monster is Meth
February 18th, 2013 at 12:03 PM
Agree completely. I also found it cool that he has a very modest house for his earnings and spends little except for his suits, which apparently are a bit of an addiction (which I can totally dig). As an American I never wanted him to top Sampras. Then I realized how much better than Sampras he is and it felt wrong to pull against him. He has so much class, too. Just a very likable person.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:06 PM
I would guess JMac wrote about it for US Magazine
i would like to try this kind of story. a long time ago i did a lengthy piece on goldberg for one of those collector magazines. didn;t need an interview, just rounded up info from whatever resources i could gather. god that kind of work sucks
February 18th, 2013 at 12:07 PM
I like the RF logo. But Federer’s wife is kinda thick and a meh face. I see a divorice in his future.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:08 PM
Federer is amazing in that he should be thinking about retirement from tennis right now but he’s still making grand slam semis and finals. Maybe that’s a sign of how weak men’s tennis is once you go past the top 5 guys or he’s just so good that he can still compete at a high level depsite not being dominant
February 18th, 2013 at 12:09 PM
The coolest sports story to me though, if that Rafa still lives with his family and drives a minivan to go fishing.
i would think that if you were not born into wealth then got wealthy it would be counterintuitive to all of a sudden spend lavishly on things like cars. vacations, experiences, multiple residences….sure, but a six-figure car just bc i could? not for me
February 18th, 2013 at 12:09 PM
Well, the odds are 50/50 it seems, but I would be surprised.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:10 PM
But Federer’s wife is kinda thick and a meh face.
agree. he’s way too nice a guy
February 18th, 2013 at 12:11 PM
oh im sorry, where in the manual does it say that all athletes only go for models and don’t value commitment and marriage?
February 18th, 2013 at 12:11 PM
The field is so much deeper now than it was 10 years ago, but the separation of the top-4 and everyone else is so vast. Ferer is a good player, but right now he’s so far from the Big 4 that mentioning his name as a potential Grand Slam winner is hilarious.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:12 PM
nothing wrong with a thick woman. She’s perfectly fine. Now vince wilfork’s wife? woof. that’s just fat
February 18th, 2013 at 12:13 PM
here’s a nice story for those who like nice stories
February 18th, 2013 at 12:13 PM
Saw that the other day, vez. great story.

t?
Makes me sad. Was a huge Puckett fan as a kid.
February 18th, 2013 at 12:42 PM
Jordan had to go through in his early years, what Kobe has had to go through most of his career. His greatness was perceived by the media and some fans as a threat to Magic and Bird, who were viewed as the establishment at that time. Kobe’s greatness is viewed in the same manner as a threat towards Jordan. The thing that made it a little easier for Jordan is that the Bad Boys existed.
