The Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most popular of Major League Baseball franchises and the biggest team in the Los Angeles sports market not named the Lakers, are currently in the middle of a nasty divorce.  Owners Frank and Jamie McCourt have taken their fight from the bedroom to the courtroom, and the team is caught in the middle, like a billion-dollar baby in a custody dispute.  That means all the skeletons are coming out of the closet, including the fact that the Dodgers employed a healer and physicist named Vladimir Shpunt whose job was to send the team positive energy like some kind of psychic baseball wizard.

Shpunt, like fellow odd physicist Stanton Friedman, is both a smart man and a bit of a strange duck.  Shpunt attended only one game at Dodger stadium during his five-year tenure with the team; instead, he watched the games from his home in Boston and beamed the team V energy by “thinking blue.”  Shpunt, the grandson of a former village healer in Russia, believes that his V energy levels “might be 10 or 15 times higher” than those of us mere mortals, which is how he is able to perform healing (he healed a girl with cancer in Russia and healed Jamie McCourt’s eye when she nearly lost it due to infection) and why he believes he’s been helping the Dodgers on their quest for MLB greatness.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

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.
