Ft. Worth PD spokesman Captain Ken Dean, explaining the sting that landed four TCU footballers in hot legal water.

TCU isn’t officially joining the Big Twelve until the beginning of next season, but the team has already decided to get a head start on some traditional Big Eight-style criminality.  Taking a cue from Big Twelve stalwarts Oklahoma’s glory days of the 80’s, four members of the TCU Horned Frogs football team were arrested by Fort Worth, Texas police as part of a campus drug raid.  The four players arrested were linebacker Tanner Brock, defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey, cornerback Devin Johnson, and offensive lineman Ty Horn.

“There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days,” said TCU coach Gary Patterson.  “As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I’m mad.”

The four players arrested were picked up as part of a 6-month sting operation.  That’s only a part of the 17 students arrested during the sting operation, but 4 out of 17 is a pretty significant number.  The players in question were caught dealing marijuana to undercover agents, but others arrested dealt cocaine, ecstasy, and prescription pills to officers.  Police are not sure if the four dealt to other athletes, though the affidavit seems to suggest this.

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.
