Honey Badger does care about a drug-free future

Last season, the LSU Tigers only lost one game:  the national championship game against the Alabama Crimson Tide.  They were looking to repeat a trip to the national title game, and their hopes rested firmly on the shoulders of 5’8 defensive back and punt returner Tyrann Mathieu, AKA The Honey Badger.  Then, the Honey Badger got thrown off the team for drug problems and things looked bleak, both for him and for LSU coach Les Miles.  Now, it looks like being kicked off the team is the wake-up call Matthieu needed.  Rather than transferring to a different school, Tyrann Mathieu is going to enter drug rehab and take care of his problem.

Mathieu has entered the Right Step rehabilitation center in Houston, Texas, where former NBA player John Lucas will serve as his drug counselor, the Mathieu family has said.  Lucas and Right Step have refused to comment, but I have to say if the news is true?  Good for you, Tyrann Mathieu.  I’m glad to see that he’s taking responsibility for his actions and is making steps to get his life back together.  If he never plays another down for LSU (Les Miles has refused to comment on his potential future with the team, other than to say he won’t play this year), then he’s doing the right thing for himself, his family, and his future.

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.
