Cam Newton, breaking yet another record.

When Cam Newton tied a rookie record for passing yards last week, it was pretty noteworthy, but also dismissed pretty easily.  After all, anyone can throw for 400 yards on the Arizona Cardinals, assuming they’re an NFL-quality quarterback.  The test, the naysayers like myself said, would be against the superior Green Bay Packers, defending NFL champs and one of the league’s best defenses.  Well, as it turns out, Cam Newton might be the real deal, as he broke the rookie passing yards mark by throwing for 432 yards.  However, it was all for naught as Green Bay beat Carolina 30-23.

Newton also set a record by throwing for 854 yards in his first two games, the most all time.  During last night’s game, he went 28-46 with 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions.  Newton also ran 10 times for 53 yards and another score.  He was Carolina’s leading passer and leading rusher for the game; now if only he could throw passes to himself, he might be onto something!

“I think someone said in the locker room that I’m kind of glad we played him early in the season,” said Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, “because when he figures it out fully, he’s going to be even tougher to stop.”

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.
