Nerlens Noel, best center and best haircut of the 2012 recruiting class.

As it turns out, winning the national championship is a pretty good thing for the health of your basketball program.  Fresh off the 2012 NCAA Tournament Championship, John Calipari’s University of Kentucky Wildcats have something new to crow about:  the nation’s top player.  Nerlens Noel, a 6’11 center with the best hair since Kid from Kid ‘n’ Play in the 90’s, has chosen to become a member of the Kentucky Wildcats.  He chose Coach Cal and the Cats over Georgetown and Syracuse.

“We just watched Anthony Davis dominate the national championship game, almost without scoring a point, and Noel impacts the game in a big way defensively,” said ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep.  “We also saw an uptick in his offense, which is why we put him at No. 1 in our rankings.”

Noel, who hails from Everett, Massachussetts, is dubbed The Eraser.  This is a tribute to both his shot-blocking prowess and his awesome hairstyle.  While most basketball players on signing day make a simple announcement of their destination, or pick a hat from a table and put it on, Noel went a step farther and shaved a UK logo into the back of his head to make the announcement.  Just look at this and tell me it’s not awesome.

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.
