Nickolas Galiatsatos is having a difficulty with his business, Nina’s Bella Pizzeria in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.  He’s got mice in his building, and that’s hurting his business.  Rather than hire an exterminator, Galiatsatos blamed his mice on his competitors in the pizza game and decided to hit them back in response.  Nickolas Galiatsatos planted two bags full of mice at competitor pizza restaurants in an attempt to get the health department to close them down.

“This guy planted them to put these guys out of business.  I’ve been at this for 47 years, and I’ve never seen mice used as a criminal tool,” said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.

Galiatsatos, ever the smooth criminal, simply walked into the restaurants he wanted to close down, Verona Pizza and Uncle Nick’s, and left bags of mice there.  He planted mice in the bathroom of Verona and left them in the trash at Uncle Nick’s; in both cases police found the mice before they were hurt or escaped.  Galiatsatos faces charges of cruelty to animals, criminal mischief, harassment, and disorderly conduct.

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.
