Some Mexican thieves got more than they bargained for when they hijacked a shipment in Mexico City.  The three men hopped into a truck at Mexico City’s airport and took off with the contents.  The police gave chase, and soon a high speed pursuit was in progress.  The truck gets wrecked, two of the three guys get arrested, and the contents of the truck get returned to the rightful owner.  So, what were these guys so desperate to steal?  Ferrets.

Turns out the truck the guys stole contained 150 ferrets shipped from the United States to a Mexican veterinarian for resale as pets.  Now, here’s the question:  did they know they were stealing ferrets, or was this just an accident?  If they did steal ferrets deliberately, were they going to train them to be assistant thieves like in The Beastmaster?  Because if so, that’s awesome.  Even if some ferrets are too religious to take part in theft, they have a natural ability to sneak around and take off with shiny objects.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
