Chad Johnson’s mug shot provided by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.

On the surface, the reformation of Chad Ochocinco was going well.  He wasn’t playing great, but he looked good in training camp, he had recently gotten married and changed his name back to Chad Johnson, and he was with his hometown Miami Dolphins after being cut by the Patriots in the off-season.  Then, everything changed drastically.  Chad Johnson was hit with a double-whammy; on Saturday, he was arrested for domestic violence after police accused him of headbutting his new wife Evelyn Lozada and less than 24 hours later, he’s out of a job.  Chad Johnson has been cut by the Miami Dolphins.

“I reminded them that on April 10 in our first team meetings, I said, ‘Guys, I’d love to stand up here and tell you we’re never going to have a problem here in Miami,” said Dolphins coach Joe Philbin.  “Do we want high-character guys?  Yes.  All 31 other coaches are going to say the same thing.  But I specifically told them on April 10 that there will be problems that arise and you have to deal with them honestly and openly and directly.  You’ve got to learn from mistakes and move on, and you can’t hide from the problem.”

The curse of reality television.  Chad Johnson has been a reality star before, and his wife Evelyn Lozada is a fixture on VH1’s Basketball Wives.  The pair were also the budding stars of HBO’s Hard Knocks franchise, which follows the trials and tribulations of an NFL team during training camp.  Looks like Hard Knocks is going to have to find a new star.

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.
