Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy landed the chain in hot water… err, hot oil when he mentioned that he endorsed the Bible definition of family and was not a supporter of gay marriage.  Chick-fil-A, with 1600 outlets across the United States, closes on Sundays in support of Biblical principles of not working on Sunday.  As same-sex marriage and gay rights supporters assaulted the firm with public denouncements and the like, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee rallied supporters of the chain with a public display of support.  National Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day was a rousing success, drawing tens of thousands of people to Chick-fil-A outlets.

Throughout the country, traffic lanes were clogged and mall thru-ways were stuffed with people waiting in line for their chicken sandwiches.  In my home town, our Chick-fil-A locations had waits of two hours or more, and traffic was backed up for some locations for miles.  In response to Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, gay rights supporters plan a National Same-Sex Kiss Day outside Chick-fil-A locations on Friday.

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.
