The Philips Highway location of Burger King in Jacksonville, Florida, has the same slogan the rest of the company’s corporate offices and franchisees has:  Have it your way.  For most people, having it their way means having it without pain pills snuck onto the sandwiches by a disgruntled employee, but that wasn’t the case for Ernest McHenry.  As he went to season his fish sandwich with a little salt and pepper, he noticed something stuck to the bun:  a little blue hydrocodone pill.  Police say the powerful pain killer was slipped onto the sandwich by Woody Duclos, who was already in trouble with the restaurant and have charged a second employee, Bryant Jones, with being the one to supply the drugs.

Police say another customer wasn’t so lucky, and got sick because of the planted pain pill.  Getting customers sick was Duclos’ plan all along, as he wanted to ruin the restaurant.  I suppose he didn’t think what might happen if he gave that pill to the wrong person and they died.  Here’s hoping they throw the book at those two for tampering with food.

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.
