It’s one of the biggest series of arrests in New York state history and the result of thousands of hours of work by law enforcement officials, spearheaded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Over 100 mobsters from the Colombo and Gambino crime families were arrested in the largest arrest of mobsters in New York state history!  The Colombo crew was the hardest hit, with most of their senior membership getting nabbed, while the Gambino family was also targeted.

“Early this morning [Thursday] FBI Agents along with our law enforcement partners began arresting over 100 organized crime members for various criminal charges,” said FBI spokesman Diego Rodriguez.  “Additional information will be available at the US Attorney’s offices later today.”

New York Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to announce more information later today in Brooklyn.  The string of arrests is the largest amount of organized crime-related arrests made in a single day, with most of the administration of the Colombo and crime family being arrested by federal agents.  It’s nice to see the FBI doing something other than complain to Wikipedia about their logo usage.

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.
