National Football League player Kenny McKinley has been a little snake-bitten during his NFL career, meaning that pretty much everything that could go wrong with him has gone wrong.  A fifth-round draft pick out of the University of South Carolina, McKinley made his biggest impact as a kick returner, but injuries have caused him to spend both the 2009 and 2010 NFL seasons on the injured reserve list.  The body of 23-year-old Kenny McKinley was found inside his apartment, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“Everyone with the Broncos is shocked and saddened by the loss of Kenny McKinley,” said Broncos President and CEO Pat Bowlen.  “He was part of the Broncos family and will be greatly missed by our organization.  My most heartfelt condolences go out to Kenny’s family and friends.”  The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the situation; the third such tragic death in the Broncos family in four years after corner back Darrent Williams was shot outside a nightclub on New Year’s Day 2007 and running back Damien Nash suffered a heart attack at a charity basketball game in February 2007.

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.
