This isn't the Cash Cab, just a regular cab.

The day was done, and a producer was returning the infamous Cash Cab to storage.  For those not in the know, Cash Cab is a show in which a random cab has been converted into a mobile quiz show.  While the driver drives, he asks questions of his passengers, and in exchange for their participation, they get a free ride wherever they go and whatever money they might win.  Well, in the Canadian version of Cash Cab, a horrible accident happened to the cab and its producer/driver after the shooting day.  While on its way back to storage, the Cash Cab hit and killed a 61-year-old man in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his friends and his family.  My heart also goes out to the driver of the vehicle, a member of our technical staff, who is shaken and devastated by this tragic accident, as is our entire team,” said a statement issued by Andrew Burnstein, president of Castlewood Productions.  Castlewood is the company behind the Canadian version of Cash Cab.

Castlewood is cooperating fully with authorities; no charges have been filed in the incident, and police are treating it like a tragic accident.  The name of the pedestrian killed has not been released.

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.
