It’s one of the biggest, most brain-rattling hits I’ve ever seen on the football field.  In college, Pat White was an All American quarterback running the option at West Virginia.  His unique blend of speed and passing accuracy made him perfect for the Miami Dolphins, who run a option-based attack called the Wildcat.  Unfortunately for Pat White, the guys in the NFL are bigger and faster than those in college, so when he takes a hit from Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor, the results are not pretty.

As you can see above (or go here if the video gets taken down), White is moving his arms and legs, but he was taken to hospital for observation.  Obviously, when a guy gets knocked out like that, there’s going to be some residual effects from such a serious injury.   You hate to see someone take a shot like that, even though the hit looks about as clean as it can get.  It was just a bad angle and bad timing on White’s trip.

Kristen Bell, known to TV fans as intrepid teen detective Veronica Mars and the Sarah Marshall of Forgetting Sarah Marshall fame, is as cute as a bug’s ear.  There’s no getting around that, especially not after her recent appearance on Ellen.  The only thing cuter than Kristen Bell is Kristen Bell meeting a sloth.  During [...]

Well, guess who won’t go away?  If you said Casey Anthony, you might be correct.  A video diary post surfaced on a pay-per-view website that is reported to be Casey Anthony’s actual video blog; it was quickly reposted to YouTube and later confirmed by Casey’s attorney, Cheney Mason.  Looks like that whole “go into hiding [...]

It’s been a long time since director Ridley Scott mined the science-fiction and horror universes for film ideas.  After all, since blazing a trail with Alien in 1979, Scott did Blade Runner, Legend, and not a whole lot taking place in fantasy worlds.  However, Ridley Scott is returning to the sci-fi horror genre with the [...]

Summer is right around the corner, so that means it’s time for the summer movie blockbusters to start poking their heads out around the Christmas tree, smile, wave, and remind you that soon, the explosion-filled movies will be greeting you at the multiplex.  One of the most eagerly-awaited blockbusters is Christopher Nolan’s final tilt at [...]

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never really heard of Elf on the Shelf until recently.  Apparently, it’s a stalker elf that watches children in a creepy, evil fashion to make sure they’re doing good and not misbehaving like a drunk Frosty at a Christmas parade.  That’s all well and good, but I need [...]

Once upon a time, there was a legendary comedy team.  They had honed their act on Vaudeville stages before finding success in Hollywood making short features for Columbia Pictures.  The best known incarnation is Larry Fine, Moe Howard, and Curly Howard, AKA the Three Stooges.  Their life story is fascinating; this is NOT their life [...]

When it comes to marketing, the department store Kohl’s generally puts on good ads.  However, sometimes they make mistakes; everyone does, but Kohl’s mistake is more egregious due to the presence of viral video superstar Rebecca Black.  That’s right, Kohl’s went all out with a Black Thursday/Friday ad featuring Rebecca Black’s Friday.  Kohl’s Rebecca Black [...]
