It must be hard to be a national hero in this day and age.  Unlike the old days, when you could become famous for your glory, these days you have to keep everything hush-hush for months, or even years.  Leave it to the Navy to squash a soldier’s dreams of video game stardom.  For the second time, the United States Navy has disciplined members of SEAL Team Six over their talkative nature.  First, there was the tell-all book about the raid on Bin Laden.  Now, seven SEALs from Team Six are being disciplined after working on Medal of Honor:  Warfighter.

Warfighter is the latest game in Electronic Arts’ Medal of Honor series, and the seven SEALs spent two days working as technical advisors to the first-person-shooter game.  Apparently, that was two days too many for the Navy, who docked the men two months’ pay.  None of Warfighter’s missions is based on the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, sadly.  However, the missions are based on real SEAL missions, and the Navy maintains the sailors revealed top-secret information during their time with EA

“We do not tolerate deviations from the policies that govern who we are and what we do as sailors in the United States Navy,” said Rear Admiral Garry Bonelli, Deputy Commander of Naval Special Warfare Command.

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.
