I can’t remember the last time a coach was fired in the middle of a season.  Mid-season firings are just something that doesn’t happen in the National Football League, until this year that is.  Three coaches were given mid-season walking papers this year:  Wade Phillips by the Dallas Cowboys, Brad Childress by the Minnesota Vikings, and now Josh McDaniels by the Denver Broncos.  Josh McDaniels was fired by Denver owner Pat Bowlen in the wake of McDaniels being disciplined by the NFL over illegally taping the San Francisco 49ers during Denver’s game in London.

For those of you with long memories, you’ll note that this is the second time McDaniels has been involved in a taping scandal.  He was a member of the New England Patriots coaching staff during the original Spygate, and now he’s at the epicenter of Spygate 2.  That, combined with an abysmal 11-17 record as a head coach (with all 17 losses coming in the Broncos’ last 22 games), lead to the dismissal of the 34-year-old head coach.  Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville will be taking over as the interim head coach.

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.
