The restaurant was launched only four months ago to great fanfare, but Flavor Flav’s fried chicken restaurant, dubbed FFC for Flav’s Fried Chicken, has already gone under.  After some harsh words and a few brutal disputes, Flav has pulled the license to use his likeness from business partner Nick Cimino, meaning Flav’s Fried Chicken in Clinton, Iowa, has closed only months after it opened.

Flav said that Cimino “isn’t running the business right” and that is why he pulled his likeness and name from the restaurant, according to an interview Flav did with WQAD-TV.  According to some former employees, employees at Cimino’s FFC weren’t getting paid, which only adds insult to injury in the case of the disputes between Cimino and Flav. This leaves Jay-Z’s Brooklyn chicken shack as the supreme hip-hop chicken shop.

You hate to see a restaurant close so soon, but if employees aren’t being paid and allegations are true, then it should be shut down.  Flav made the right decision here, and good for him for making the call.

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.
