The city of Boston, Massachusetts, can’t be an easy place to be homeless.  There may be all sorts of shelters and food kitchens and stuff, but the problem with the whole enterprise is that it’s a brutally cold place to spend a winter.  One homeless man, Glen James, found the solution to a lot of his money problems in the form of a bag absolutely stuffed with cash and traveler’s checks.  However, Glen James isn’t selfish, he’s selfless.  Homeless Glen James returned a bag containing $42,000 to its original owner.

Usually homeless people are receiving the good deeds, but when they get a chance to help others, it seems like homeless folks are always quick to turn around and help others like they’ve been helped.  When James found the bag full of money at the South Bay Mall in Dorchester, he turned it right over to the police who tracked down the owner.  The owner, a Chinese national, had also left his passport in the bag, which means it’s a good thing someone turned it over to him, because otherwise he would’ve had a great time trying to leave the country.

“The Good Samaritan could only provide officers with his name and the address of the shelter where he currently lives,” said a police press release

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.
