The old saying about man biting dog is true.  Roderick Lewis, upon seeing West Haven, Connecticut, police officer Scott Bloom on Elm Street, greeted the officer with a shout of, “I need a bag of dust,” meaning angel dust or PCP.  As we all know, cops don’t usually carry around drugs.  When Officer Bloom went to see to Lewis, the 23-year-old went for his waistband.  In the scuffle, Officer Bloom got punched in the face and went down.  That’s when Bloom’s partner, a police dog named Onyx, got involved.  The dog bit Lewis’ leg.  Lewis, in response, bit the police dog’s side.  Police actually had to pull Lewis off the dog, as Lewis wouldn’t unclench his teeth from the dog’s side.

That’s pretty incredible that the dog let go before the person let go, but I’ve always said that disabling a police dog is pretty simple, if you’re not afraid to give up one of your arms in the process.  Obviously, the doped-up Lewis had no problems letting the dog gnaw on his leg in exchange for getting a chance to gnaw on the dog in return.

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.
