Don’t burn your winter socks just yet.  On Groundhog Day, good old Punxsutawney Phil said there were going to be six more weeks of winner, and boy, he’s been right on the money.  There haven’t been any Groundhog Day blizzards in my neck of the woods, but I don’t live in New England.  New England is just getting battered with snowstorm after snowstorm, and the police in one small New Hampshire town are putting the blame on the world’s favorite rodent.  Tiny Merrimack, New Hampshire, has taken out a warrant for Punxsutawney Phil’s arrest.

“We have received several complaints from the public that this little varmint is held up in a hole, warm and toasty,” reads a Facebook post from the Merrimack Police Department.  “He told several people that Winter would last 6 more weeks, however he failed to disclose that it would consist of mountains of snow!”

Really, it’s nice to see that the frozen Yankees can have a little fun with their predicament, and that Punxsutawney Phil is more than likely protected from any extradition.  After all, he’s a magical rodent, not an armed criminal.  Just because he said there would be more winner doesn’t mean he’s the cause of the winter.  Plus, come on, he’s way too cute to go to jail.

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.
