It’s getting closer and closer to Halloween, which means that soon, we’ll all be hitting the stores to find pumpkins.  Whether you’re looking for pumpkins to carve or a pumpkin to make pies, you’re gonna need a big orange squash-like vegetable sooner, rather than later.  Perhaps that’s what drove 38-year-old Samuel D. Beu Jr. to go on a crime spree.  Beu was caught on a Grand Valley, New York, farm after midnight, stealing 130 pumpkins.

Cattaraugus County police say that two men were caught arguing in the middle of the night in the middle of a field.  One of these was the resident of the farm; the other was Beau the thief.  Cops gave chase and arrested Beu before recovering the $1300 worth of stolen pumpkins (and finding a marijuana plant growing on his property).  The great pumpkin thief was charged with grand larceny, resisting arrest, trespass, and unlawful growing of marijuana.

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.
