New York’s Fashion Week has got to be a crazy environment.  From odd new clothing trends to celebrity sightings, there’s always something to talk about when the style makers come together.   However, the weirdest fashion show wasn’t by some obscure European designer’s survival sweatshirt or some Japanese outsider artist’s trying to make a name for himself with hip prison aprons.  Nope, this year’s strangest trend at Fashion Week is the Snuggie.

That’s right, the favorite fashion accessory of grandmothers everywhere took its act on the road, unveiling several new Snuggie types.  There’s a new pet Snuggie, “urban jungle” animal print designs, several other new colors, a new plush microfiber texture, and even Snuggies sporting college logos for the frigid-yet-fashionable tailgater. Who would have ever guessed that a blanket with a head and arm holes would become a pop culture sensation?

The college-logo Snuggie will be a huge hit this fall, because a college football game in Michigan in November is one of the few places outside of a nursing home you should be allowed to wear a Snuggie without being beaten mercilessly.  (Unless it’s a Snuggie with an Ohio State logo.)  But Snuggie pub crawls?  Have a little pride!

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.
