I'm not going to lie, looking at this picture kind of makes me want to beat up Gavin DeGraw, too.

People are just crazy these days.  I mean, you can get attacked for no reason at all, as evidenced by the KFC beatings.  Still, you’d think that someone with a few hit records under his belt would be pretty safe from a butt-kicking, but apparently not.  Sometime last night, a group of people attacked singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw in New York City, beating him so badly he had to go to the hospital.

The weirdest part of this attack is just how random it seems.  Some thugs (who didn’t leave a gang business card) beat up a dude, and it just so happens to be a well-known singer?  Someone randomly gets jumped, and it’s Gavin DeGraw, who recorded “I Don’t Want To Be” and “Chariot” and is known internationally as the theme to One Tree Hill?  Do you think the thugs knew they were beating up a guy scheduled to open for a double-bill of Train and Maroon 5 and, perhaps, that’s why he got attacked?  A case of mistaken identity by some thugs who thought they were beating up Jason Mraz?

Nobody really knows the details, and DeGraw, who is currently at Bellevue Hospital recovering from his assault, has yet to make a statement.

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.
