One of the traditions of the old Yankee Stadium that didn’t seem to last too long was the bowl game.  That’s right; there was a little-known college football bowl game that took place at Yankee Stadium called the Gotham Bowl, and there were also a few random bowl games before that one took place.  The last college football bowl at the old Yankee Stadium was on December 15, 1964, in which Nebraska beat Miami 36-34.  Now, there’s going to be a new bowl game at the new Yankee Stadium called the Pinstripe Bowl.  Here’s what we know so far.

The Pinstripe Bowl is going to be sponsored by New Era, the company famous for its sports apparel and baseball caps.   It’s going to feature the #3 team in the Big East and the #6 team in the Big 12, not counting the BCS participants.  It’ll take place no earlier than Christmas and no later than New Year’s Day.  New Era is on board for 4 years; ESPN has 6 years of broadcasting rights.

Just what the world needs, another meaningless late-December bowl game!  At least this one will be in an awesome location.

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.
