The tiny town of Los Ramones, Mexico, is at the center of a turf war.  Located in the northeastern part of Mexico, in the state of Nuevo Leon, Los Ramones is prime territory for drug runners, and as such, the town is chock full of narcotrafficers battling for turf.  In this case, Los Ramones is torn between the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.  The police are helpless against the drug trade, and after the city’s brand-new police headquarters was riddled with thousands of bullets, the entire 14-man police force in Los Ramones quit.

Can you blame them?  I mean, honestly, would you feel safe reporting for duty in a place where everyone outguns you and you’re stuck in the middle of a drug war?  I sure wouldn’t.  Look at that building!  They pumped thousands of rounds into it, and even threw six grenades at the building!  The drug smugglers shot at the building for 20 whole minutes; it’s a miracle none of the police in the building at the time were killed.

I’m not one for cowardice, but I’m also not one for stupidity.

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.
