See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes children that trash a million dollar home and woman fatally poisons boyfriend after inheritance… Here are her stories from today.
Terrible Children Trash Million Dollar Home
A group of teenagers caused nearly $250,000 worth of damage to a neighbor’s home. That home is worth $1.4 Million dollars. Joanna and Matt Pittard came home after being away for the month of May and returned to their home that had been completely trashed. Seven teenagers between the ages of thirteen and sixteen went on a month long destruction spree of the luxury home. They evidently went back to the home several times throughout the month smashing more than twenty-two windows, spilling ketchup in each room and using axes and chainsaws to the home. The teenagers admitted to the damage and all expressed regret. They were all handed 20 months of probation and fined $1800 a piece.

That’s nowhere near enough for me, but I’m not the judge…
Boyfriend Fatally Poisoned After Inheriting $30 Million Dollars
A woman in North Dakota allegedly fatally poisoned her boyfriend after finding out he was about to inherit $30 Million dollars. Steven Edward Riley, Jr. was set to inherit the millions after falling ill at his lawyer’s office. He ended up calling 911 the next day and died shortly after getting to the hospital the next day. The autopsy came back and revealed he had ingested antifreeze. Ina Thea Kenoyer was charged with murder after police investigated. She later claimed that she was going to split the inheritance with Edward’s son, but that she was entitled to the money after his death because she was his “common-law wife.” However, North Dakota does not recognize common law relationships. The felony carries a maximum penalty of life without parole.

The 11 Cowboys Players or Coaches We Loved To Hate
Dez Bryant

For one, Dez Bryant was pretty damn good when he was with the Cowboys and was a consistent source of annoyance in Eagles-Cowboys games. But he is also just an obnoxious person. Between his on-field and off-field antics, he made it easy to hate him. Also, just a reminder, Dez didn’t catch it.

Not only did we have to deal with him as a player, with the media gushing over him even though he never actually won anything. But now we have to deal with him on CBS every week. Thankfully people are finally coming around on him kind of sucking as an announcer, because the whole predicting plays thing went out the window as he got further out of the league and more out of touch with what NFL teams are doing.
Deion Sanders

Deion is a weird one. Because with all of his bluster, part of me actually likes him. Like if he was an Eagle, or even anything other than a Cowboy, I would probably love him. But him being so loud, and also a Cowboy, you can’t help but hate him. It doesn’t help he is constantly in the news because of his job at Colorado. And I still can’t get over him making the media members call him Coach. There is a level of ego there when you need other grown men to call you, another grown man, coach.
Shoutout to Jason Garret who also told reporters to call him coach when he was the Giants Offensive Coordinator. Garrett almost made this list, but then I decided him being such a bad coach was a good thing for the Eagles, so I don’t hate him. Deion Sanders was a Hall of Fame Player and looks like a good coach, so he is actually worth hating.
Michael Irvin

He was annoying as a player because he was a Hall of Fame Wr who played for the enemy. But as a TV Personality he is somehow worse. The guy is everywhere. We constantly have to hear his take on everything, and his takes are never that good or interesting. They will push him even more this week, and he will have a ton of bluster about the Cowboys, even though they never do anything of worth. Beating the Eagles in the regular season is the most they ever aspire to. It’s funny because those roles used to be reversed when Irvin was a player.
Jimmy Johnson

Buddy Ryan definitely stoked the hate on this one. Jimmy and Buddy famously had several run-ins, including the infamous Bounty Bowl. But we also just hate him because he was the last successful coach for the Cowboys. He is the only Cowboy coach I put on here because none of the guys since didn’t coach well enough to be hated. I don’t hate Wade Phillips or Mike McCarthy, because they didn’t win. Say what you will about Jimmy, but he was a good coach and Jerry hasn’t been able to find a suitable replacement since him.

It was bad enough watching him play since he was a genuinely great TE. But he was more annoying after he left the Cowboys. Because then he became part of the worst Monday Night Football Crew ever. Between his fake hair, his lack of interesting analysis, and Booger McFarland’s dumb sideline setup blocking fans’ views, Monday Night Football became nearly unwatchable for that one season. Thankfully he is gone, and now we get Joe Buck and Troy Aikman (another guy who just missed making the list).
Greg Hardy

This one is far more about him just being an awful person than it is about what he did with the Cowboys. Greg Hardy had one of the worst examples of Domestic Abuse we have seen from an NFL player. And yet even after all the information about what he did came out, including pictures of how badly he beat up his girlfriend, the Cowboys still signed him. Because Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have no morals, so why would they care if their players do?
Zeke Elliott

Zeke was annoying before he became a Cowboy. So him getting drafted by the Cowboys (spending a high pick on an RB, another genius move by Jerry), just made sense. To his credit, he played very well against the Eagles in his time with the Cowboys. So that helped stoke the hatred.

The traitor. TO went from beloved, to hated very quickly. He forced his way out of a great situation with what could have been a Super Bowl contender. To make it worse, he went to the enemy and stuck there for a long time. The guy could have been one of the most beloved Eagles of all time. Instead, he threw it all away because neither he, McNabb, or Joe Banner could put their massive egos aside, and a great team slowly fell apart.
Drew Pearson

I was not alive to watch Drew Pearson play, so I cant speak to what he was like as a player. But after watching his speech at the draft in Philly, it is easy to see I would have hated the guy when he played for the Cowboys. But it would be more like the hate we have for Deion, where there’s a level of respect, rather than the hate we have for Tony Romo. His speech, even if we hated it, was funny. And he is a Hall of Fame WR worthy of respect.
Jerry Jones

And the most hated Cowboy of them all. The guy who is the consistent presence across every era of the Cowboys. I almost like Jerry, just because his incompetence is to blame for the Cowboys being so irrelevant these past couple of decades. But then I remember what a weird creepy old man he is. The guy will seemingly do anything to win, which makes it all the more embarrassing for him he hasn’t done any winning these past 20+ years. Ever since they stopped letting him just buy every single player, his teams have been wildly mediocre.
The Cowboys Fans From Philly

These people aren’t part of the Cowboys, so they don’t count, but they are the real reason many of us still hate the Cowboys. They grew up here but decided to root for the team all of their friends and neighbors hate. They actively root for the misery of the people around them. I have no ill will toward Cowboys fans from the Dallas area. They are supposed to root for the Cowboys. But these people? They are the worst. They have never even been to Dallas but will wear their Dez Bryant jersey and get all chest even though they haven’t watching winning football in 26 years, and many have them have never seen it at all. These people will be endlessly playing We Dem Boyz on a loop but then cry themselves to sleep because they forget what it is like to have a relevant football team.
