"Wheeee! Spinning is fun!"

Never let it be said that football players aren’t competitive in everything they do.  Consider Donald Driver, who won a Super Bowl last season before heading to the dance floor as part of the 14th cast of Dancing With The Stars.  He came, he saw, and he blew everyone away.  Donald Driver is Dancing With The Stars season 14 champion!

“We’ve had some great footballers on the show over the years,” said notoriously tough DWTS judge Len Goodman.  “My feeling is, you are the best we’ve had.”

Driver defeated Katherine Jenkins and William Levy to claim the mirror ball trophy.  He is the seventh athlete to win on the show during its 14 seasons, and the third football player behind former Dallas Cowboy and Arizona Cardinal Emmitt Smith and the recently retired Steeler Hines Ward.

“I would have to say it was a miracle,” admitted Driver.  “We did what we had to do on the floor, and we knew we had to leave it up to the judges and the fans.  The fans made the decision, and the fans loved our freestyle last night.  I think the freestyle put us on top, and after that, there was no looking back.”  Driver later compared his win to the Super Bowl championship he took home last season.  “It’s truly something special.  I reached the greatest milestone in my career, and that was winning the Super Bowl.  I just made my partner [Peta Murgatroyd] reach her greatest milestone, and now she’s Dancing With the Stars champion.”

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.
