Bundesliga Week 9 Soccer Review 2015

0

budesliga week 9 soccer review borussia dortmund vs fsv mainz 2015Borussia Dortmund arrested their three-match winless run in the league with a 2-0 win over FSV Mainz on Friday. Thomas Tuchel’s men have enjoyed a phenomenal campaign thus far but were on the receiving end of a 5-1 shellacking at the hands of Bayern Munich in their last league encounter prior to the international break. However, the Black and Yellows took no time to recover from the crushing setback and emerged the 2-0 winner against Mainz – both Jurgen Klopp’s and Tuchel’s former side. Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were on the scoresheet for the Rhine club.

A goal each from Sandro Wagner and Peter Niemeyer helped newly promoted Darmstadt complete an impressive 2-0 win against Augsburg. The win moved Darmstadt to seventh in the table, whereas Augsburg are now rooted to the foot of the table.

Hamburger and Bayer Leverkusen played out a scoreless draw on Saturday at the Nordbank Arena.

Benedikt Howedes and Maximilian Meyer were on the scoresheet for Schalke against Hertha Berlin to help the Rhine giants to a 2-1 win. Salomon Kalou, formerly of Chelsea in the English Premier League, grabbed the only goal for the Berlin outfit.

Max Kruse grabbed a hat-trick and Bas Dost added another for Wolfsburg as they registered a comprehensive 4-2 win over Hoffenheim. The Wolves are now fourth in the league standings.

A 23rd minute strike from Thomas Muller proved sufficient for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen as the Bavarian giants registered a 1-0 win over their rivals. It was a ninth successive win for Pep Guardiola’s men in the Bundesliga this season and they have already opened up a massive seven-point lead at the top of the table over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. It is increasingly turning out to be a one-horse race in the German top flight as the Bavarian giants look stronger every season in comparison to the chasing pack in the German league.

Guardiola’s men have scored at the rate of almost four goals per game (35) and have conceded a mere four goals in the process, highlighting their utter superiority in the league. Their superlative form and depth of the squad at the Catalan manager’s disposal have made them firm favourites for not just the league title, but also the Champions League.

Raffael and Andre Hahn both scored a brace and Mahmoud Dahoud grabbed the other for Borussia Monchengladbach as they hammered Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in their league outing on Sunday. Monchengladbach had endured a torrid start to their 2015/16 campaign as they lost their first five games and it ultimately led to the resignation of Lucien Favre from the helm. But their mini-revival has since continued as they registered their fourth successive win to move tenth in the league standings.

Daniel Didavi scored the only goal for VfB Stuttgart as they downed newly promoted Ingolstadt at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadion.

Leon Andreasen grabbed the game’s only goal against 1. FC Koln to give Hannover all three points. Hannover are now 14th in the league table.

Jameis Winston & Marcus Mariota Disappointing First Five NFL Games

0

james winston marcus mariota disappointing first five nfl games 2015 imagesRemember when Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Russell Wilson came out of the draft and each led his new team to the playoffs? Sure, that was a special year, but the rookie quarterback class of 2015—or at least their two most famous members, Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota—just wants, in the words of the great Jim Mora, to win a game.

Mariota only has one of those precious W’s right now, which came Week One at the chagrin of Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mariota tossed four touchdowns in the win, but the next four games were not nearly so kind to the Heisman Trophy winner.

Mariota’s Tennessee Titans are on a four-game losing skid now, and the AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for September is sitting on three interceptions to one lonely TD since that Week Four bye.

To be fair to Mariota, the Titans aren’t exactly a good team. That being said, they will need a little ball security out of the kid if they want to win more than two games this season. Mariota was known for his minimal turnovers with Oregon, so maybe he’ll get it together soon.

Winston, on the other hand, has never been known for being safe with the football. Seven INTs to match his seven touchdowns along with three fumbles. Ironically, he’s doing a little better than Mariota in that category with only one lost fumble.

Winston also has two wins to Mariota’s one, but it’s also very easy to blame the three losses on him. Winston has turned the ball over multiple times in each Bucs’ loss, including four interceptions against the Carolina Panthers. Hard to win without the ball.

When the Bucs win, it’s through more conservative play. Winston has only one of his seven touchdowns in the two Bucs wins, but no interceptions in either.

“I’m going to use it to get better,” said Winston on the bye week he enjoyed this past Sunday. “I’m going to still come in…I’m going to use it to get better. Every week I’m trying to get better and better.”

I sure hope so. I’ve been saying that Winston would do much better than Mariota, so he needs to step up and prove me right. Or at least completely tank and let me be wrong with dignity…kind of.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the season on the wacky doings of the last two Heisman winners.

Lamar Odom Update & Westboro Baptist Church Goes After Kim Davis

Lamar Odom moves back to Los Angeles with Khloe Kardashian, the Love Ranch profits on Odom’s weekend binge, Dr. Dre sued, a Detroit pastor shoots a man during his service and irony alert; Kim Davis is being protested by the Westboro Baptist Church.

lamar odom moved to la hospital 2015 gossipLamar Odom Moved To Los Angeles Hospital

Lamar Odom is reportedly moving to a Los Angeles hospital to get more specialized care, according to TMZ. We’re hearing that he is having difficulty with speaking, which wouldn’t be surprising after having several strokes and everything that his body was put through.

Khloe Kardashian flew back with him via helicopter, and we’re still hearing that some form of brain damage is affecting the former basketball star. Her relationship with James Harden was already on rocky ground after her continuing to talk to Lamar. Now, with her giving her all to Odom’s recovery, Harden is ready to find a woman who will “give all her focus to him,” sources close to him have said.

The Daily Mail posted pictures taken of Lamar not long before he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, and what’s most disturbing, is that these were taken of him while sleeping and obviously sold to the highest bidder. Read further down to see how sleazy they’ve gotten with this tragedy, but here’s the photos.

You knew it would happen, and Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof is ecstatic that Lamar Odom being found unconscious at his Nevada brothel has gotten many people curious. He claims that business has tripled there, and for people wanting to book the room that Lamar nearly died in; well, there’s a month long wait.

If you do visit the ranch and have $500 burning a hole in your pocket, Hof can get you in to see the room, providing, it’s available. As sleazy as this all sounds, I’m sure he’ll get you in no matter what for that money.

dr dre sued by housekeeper 2015 gossipDr. Dre’s Housekeeper Sues Due to Hostile Environment & Wrongful Termination

Would $2000 a week be enough for you to work under less than favorable conditions? Well, it wasn’t for Raquel Sagustume, Dr. Dre’s former housekeeper who claims she was bullied and unfairly terminated by Dre after working for him a little over a year.

According to the New York Daily News, Sagustume claims that two other female workers, who are cousins, left her to do their work because they felt threatened by her work skills and that extra work caused physical strain and injury. She goes on further to say that she experienced so much anxiety that she ended up in the hospital her toxic work environment caused her to have trouble breathing.

Raquel says she never got paid for her overtime and other benefits that jobs offer and say that  Dre nor his wife did anything about the bullying thus they are the cause of it.

Should this really come as a surprise, though? A man like Dre who hates women as much as we all know he does can’t really care about his hired help. There is more to the story I am sure, but it’s still not a good look for the billionaire rapper.

 detroit pastor shoots man 2015 gossipDetroit Pastor Shoots Man During Service

Is there no place safe anymore. I mean, we are now immune to the sting of public shootings but when a pastor is the one pulling the trigger during a church service, it is truly shocking.

It happened in Detroit over the weekend. A pastor fatally shot Deante Smith, who, reportedly, had been coming for him for a long time. He and the alleged attacker had a history. Smith had ranted on his Facebook account that the pastor had gotten his wife pregnant.

Police told the Detroit News:

“He had been threatening him to do bodily harm. He walked into the service and went after the pastor with a brick. The pastor pulled out his Glock and fired several shots. I think he hit him four or five times, and the man died.”

If the story is true, and the man did attack and come for him, the question that remains is, was the pastor justified in shooting him in front of his congregations? Especially since reports claim he pulled the trigger numerous times.

It’s hard out here… for a pastor.

westboro baptist church goes after kim davis 2015 gossipWestboro Baptist Church Protests Kim Davis

So how is this for irony; The woman that has come to be the poster child of the conservative anti-gay marriage agenda has just been boycotted – by Westboro Baptist Church.

You know them. The group that goes around holier than thou boycotting and protesting everything from birthday parties to American soldiers’ funerals. They do so unapologetically and are no respecter of persons. I guess that’s why Kim Davis and her long history of shadiness was ripe for the picking, and picked they did.

They made their way to Morehead, KY and stood outside her job with signs that pointed to Davis’ hypocrisy and past adulterous behavior as the reason for their being there.  Four members of the Kansas church picketed on a street corner right by the Rowan County Courthouse where Davis works.

“This woman wants to say that her sin isn’t as grievous as the same-sex marriage sin… “It’s all sin. It’s all awful. But her sin enabled that sin. When you look up, and all the Christians have given over the moral high ground, what voice do they have left?”

To take things deeper, the Westboro members claim that the fact Davis has been married several times, even though she is now on her third or fourth marriage legally, she is still committing adultery because her only true marriage is the first one. Which is an interesting notion because Apostolic Christians are very big on divorce. They only give a couple of reasons why it’s “okay” for a WOMAN to leave her husband and you’d be surprised the things they say a couple should work through.

The interesting thing about Westboro’s protest of Davis is they feel that she is obligated by the law to issues marriage license because according to one of the members present at the protest, “God hates oath breakers just like he hates adultery, and he hates same-sex marriage,” and Davis should protest gay-marriage on her own time.

There’s seems to be a lot of confusion in their thinking, but one thing is for sure, they nailed Kim Davis’ hypocrisy and double standard right on the head.

‘The Voice’ 908 Pharrell Williams Has Sole Steal

the voice 908 pharrel williams sole evan riley biederer 2015Part three of The Voice’s battle rounds aired and they keep getting better and better. Once again, judges – Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams pitted two of their team members against each other, in hopes of winning a spot on their team going forward.

So here is a recap of the battles from tonight:

  1. Team Blake

Blaine Mitchell vs. Blind Joe

“Old Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band

The night started off with two contestants on Team Blake. Blaine is a country singer with a prominent rock edge. Meanwhile, “Blind Joe” is a classic country artist, who was born without vision. Joe jokes that this blind audition will “really be a blind audition.”

During the rehearsals, Joe struggled with coming in at the right moment when singing with Blake, as he is unable to see the cues that most artists look for. However, he does get some praise from advisor Brad Paisley who is amazed with his guitar playing and musical abilities.

Joe was sitting stationary with his guitar during the performance, while Blake jumped around the stage. However, it is Joe’s precise and expressive vocals that really stuck out. Additionally, his story is undoubtedly intriguing.

In the end, Blake decides to keep Blind Joe. Fortunately, Adam swoops in and steals Blaine for his team.

  1. Team Adam

Cassandra Robertson vs. Viktor Kiraly

“Nobody Knows” by Tony Rich Project

Adam teams up soulful singer Cassandra and Budapest pop star Viktor. Adam claims he paired the two up because he feels that have a lot in common when it comes to their vocal qualities. Before the battle, Cassandra admits she has to be able to find a balance between her powerhouse notes and singing with precision.

During the performance, Cassandra showcases her vibrato through various runs. The two musicians are able to navigate through various harmonies and actually had good chemistry with each other throughout. However, Cassandra’s vocals are matched, if not topped, by Viktor’s polished stage presence and artistry. In the end, Adam decides to choose Viktor and Cassandra is sent home.

  1. Team Gwen

Chase Kerby vs. Korin Bukowski

“Samson” by Regina Spektor

Gwen’s first pairing is 30-year-old Chase and 20-year-old Korin. This is an interesting pairing, as Korin has a much more prominent voice, while Chase is more soft-spoken. Gwen felt “Samson” was an ideal song for them, as it would allow them to showcase their obvious artistry.

Unfortunately, Korin has a leg-up with the notably high-pitched song Gwen assigned them and this advantage carries on into the battle as Korin continues to outshine Chase. In the end, Gwen ends up saving Korin and sending Chase home.

  1. Team Pharrell

Evan McKeel vs. Riley Biederer

Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder

Pharrell paired up two of his youngest team members, 20-year-old Evan McKeel and 19-year-old Riley Biederer. Riley showcased a powerful vocal in her audition, while Evan’s performance was more soft but precise.

Initially, Riley felt intimated, as Evan is a self-proclaimed fan of Stevie Wonder. However, she feels she can bring her own spin to the song by drawing from some of her R&B influences.

During the performance, it seems like Riley felt the constant need to keep up with Evan, who was much more at ease. Blake says that while Riley’s voice may be more unique, he would still give the win to Evan just based on his overall performance.

Pharrell listens to Blake and ends up keeping Evan, but Gwen decides to use one of her steals and gets Riley for her team.

  1. Team Gwen

Braiden Sunshine vs. Lyndsey Elm

“No One Is to Blame” by Howard Jones

For her next pairing, Gwen decided to pair up 15-year-old Braiden and 23-year-old Lyndsey. Braiden is the one of the youngest competitors this year, but has vocals that sound way beyond his years.

Gwen gave the duo “No One Else is to Blame” as she felt they could bring a much more modern spin to the classic song.

While the singers may be talented, the song is really slow and doesn’t showcase either of the singers’ voice like a battle round should. However, it seems like Braiden’s young age played to his favor (which is a reoccurring theme on the show) and he ends up keeping his spot on Team Gwen.

  1. Team Adam

Chance Pena vs. Andi & Alex

“Where You Will Go” by The Calling

The final battle of the night was between Team Adam’s Chance Pena and the twin duo Andi & Alex. 15-year-old Chance has a deep and mature voice. Meanwhile, Andi & Alex, also 15, have angelic-like vocals. Thus, Adam thought the battle between the three might be an interesting collaboration.

During the performance, Chance demonstrated his unique voice and ability to hold his own on stage with the two sisters, however, Andi and Alex’s harmonies were mesmerizing throughout and this often overpowered Chance. In the end, Adam couldn’t pass up Andi and Alex. Fortunately, Blake uses his steal to keep Chance in the competition.

You can catch Part 4 of the battle rounds on The Voice tomorrow, October 20 on NBC.

‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ New Images & Trailer Hit To Wake You Up For White Genocide

0

star wars the force awakens new images trailer 2015 jj abramsMonday was a huge day for “Star Wars” fans all over the world with tickets going on sale along with a new final trailer, but it seems a huge uproar hit on Twitter over “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” over a supposed white genocide theme. It seems that having a black actor, 23- year old John Boyega (who’s also British) has created a social media storm claiming this film will be anti-white.

Interestingly enough, these same people seem to have forgotten that Darth Vader was also voiced by James Earl Jones. Other black actors forgotten were Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) and Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian).

They also forgot that director J.J. Abrams had said in interviews last year that he wanted to cast more actors of color in his “Star Wars” universe.

“We wrote these characters but when we went to cast it, one of the things I had felt, having been to the Emmy’s a couple times — you look around that room and you see the whitest f**king room in the history of time. Its just unbelievably white,” he said.

“And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of colour?”

“Like not for sure, and if we can’t find the actors who are great, we shouldn’t, but why don’t we make that effort,” Abrahms added.

So, check out the trailer and see if you find it full of white genocide ideology or just some great fun.


Set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens finds a galaxy torn asunder by the ongoing conflict between the Resistance (formerly the Rebel Alliance) and the First Order (formerly the Empire). The film will have a cast of familiar actors, but they won’t share as much screen time as the new characters who will be carrying the saga forward.

LOVE & HIP HOP HOLLYWOOD 207: Miles Brock Coming Clean By Coming Out

love hip hop hollywood 207 coming clean by coming out recap 2015Barriers are definitely broken this season on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood, and this episode may be the most intense yet mostly because of Amber and Miles having to get through his big “reveal.”

Amber breaks all the way down after learning that Miles, the man that she has been in love with all her life, is gay. She runs outside, falls on the ground crying screaming “I need to speak to my mother” and is all around inconsolable. The therapist has to calm her down. Amber leaves and the therapist goes back in to let Miles know what Amber said, which is “I can’t deal right now, but we will have a convo soon” or something like that.

Later, Amber is in bed, and Glamma (her grandma) comes over. She tells her about the therapy session with Miles and that he likes men. “I knew it, I knew it, I knew it,” says Glamma. Amber feels as though she’s wasted her whole life. “I think I messed up… I feel stupid… I feel like he played me.” Glamma gives her advice as she breaks down crying holding her granddaughter. Awwww, the love of a grandma.

Brandi calls her girl Tiny, yes T.I’s wife, to tell her about the issues that she and Max have been going through. Primarily that she found his wedding ring busted in on him at the studio and went crazy. Tiny ends up telling her that she needs to calm down and take the blame for the things that she has done to which Brandi says that she probably should. She all you need is ya girl to tell you you’re crazy.

Max is in the studio with Fizz. He tells him how his girl (this season) Nikki and Brandi busted in on him like “ninjas.” He says that he wanted to give his wife some time to calm down so he wouldn’t say anything he didn’t mean and is why he didn’t go home that night. He tells Fizz that he’s not wearing his ring, and his boy tells him that’s not cool. Max is torn between working hard and his family, which he will always choose his family… ugh…but he loves “the game” too.

Ray J and Teairra Marie (TM) meet at their usual spot “so no one can get the wrong ideas.” She explains to him how she feels about the way he’s been treating her. He calls her bullshit and tells TM that she was foul for pretending to be Princess’ friend. He checks her and all she does is deny it. Ray J says that everyone knows what she was trying to do which is very true. We all did and do. If she could only see how stupid she looks. Aye, she probably still wouldn’t stop.

Nia meets with Soulja Boy because he just wanted to take her out and talk about everything. “I know you are not happy about the situation… but we have to get past that,” he tells her. She lays it out for him, “I don’t think that you have been as honest as you should be.” She tells him that he needs to change, and he turns it right around on her. He then gets hype because he’s “worth $25 million” and ends up telling her to “get the fuck out of my face” if she’s not going to accept his apology. Are you freaking serious right now Soulja Boy? Unbelievable.

Brandi and Max make up in an intimate bedroom setting, and she actually admits to being wrong in some situations. “I always say what you are doing wrong,” which is really good that she acknowledges her behavior. Max admits that he shouldn’t have thrown his ring. He brings out two new rings, and she jumps on him. He shows her the ring and breaks down crying.

Messy ass Nikki goes to Nas’ store opening because she “wanted to stop by and clarify some things for her.” She, of course, is there to tell her about herself. Nikki brings up the fact that she is Nia’s friend and tells her she’s wrong for screwing and being with Soulja Boy. Nas then checks her, “You were in the same situation.” Nikki ignores that claim and continues her, “You’re wrong, he’s not your man” shit. Nas tells her to get her facts straight. Nikki tells her to value herself more, which is the last straw for Nas. She calls security to get Nikki out. She nudges her away, and Nikki then wants to fight. For some reason here too, Nas throws up during this altercation, which was weird.  We’re not told why.

In the end, Miles has to tell his family about his homosexual lifestyle, which is hard because they grew up in the church. He goes ahead with it since Amber threatened to tell them. He gets it out to his sisters, and it is not good. “So you’re just saying fuck God,” his sister asks him? He tries to explain to them how he feels, and they all break down crying.  They tell him to make better decisions, and he can barely speak.

They tell him “at the end of the day we are going to support, I will ride or die for you… we’re going to always be there for you regardless; you will always be our baby brother. ”

Well, that turned out better than his reveal to Amber.

It just gets juicier and juicer with this season.

Taylor Swift’s Finger Issue & Megan Fox’s ‘Hurts’ Shirts

taylor swift finger 2015 gossipKicking off this week’s celebrity gossip is a wardrobe malfunction for Britney Spears during a recent performance of her Las Vegas stage show. During one number, the zipper of the leotard she was wearing unzipped itself revealing most of her back and coming close to revealing her rear end to the audience. Her backup dancers attempted to close the zipper during her performance but weren’t able to. Once the song was over Spears ran backstage and changed out of the leotard.

britney spears wardrobe concert malfunction 2015 gossipFans of the UK’s “The X-Factor” were treated during a commercial break from the show to a preview of Adele’s latest single. The 30-second ad did not feature Adele herself, but her voice was heard singing a portion of the song.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber fans were also treated this week when a new single the two collaborated on was leaked on the Internet. The duet tackles the subject of their romantic relationship and the fact that it didn’t work out.

In other Selena Gomez news, last year’s rumors that she and Cara Delevingne were an item didn’t bother her as much as one might believe. On the contrary, in a recent PrideSource interview Selena said that not only did she not mind the rumor; she loved it; mainly because the gossip surrounded a fellow actress as opposed to a personal friend of Selena’s. She said that she thinks it is healthy to question one’s sexuality, and she has questioned her own in the past.

An injury to her finger did not stop Taylor Swift from going forward with a scheduled concert despite the fact that she cut herself while cooking. The singer posted a picture on her Twitter of her bandaged thumb after the accident.

Former Jersey Shore star Jenny Farley, otherwise known as J-Wow, married Roger Matthews, concluding an engagement period of three years. In attendance at the wedding as members of the bridal party were her former co-stars, Deena Cortes, Snooki and Sammi Giancola. The couple’s young daughter served as their flower girl.

On a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live” on the Bravo Network, the guests were Jason Sudeikis and his fiancée Olivia Wilde. The show features a segment called Plead the Fifth and the two participated in it during their appearance. In this segment, two people ask each other three questions that they may not want to answer. One of Sudeikis’s questions was whether not Olivia Wilde had ever had a lesbian experience, taking her by surprise.

In a recent interview with Allure Magazine Kate Hudson talked about her break up with her fiancé Matt Bellamy, which happened about one year ago. She said their relationship was not great and that they both moved on because they wanted to live their lives in different ways. Hudson vowed to give her kids a life with positive experiences so the breakup wouldn’t destroy them.

Video footage has emerged from 10 years ago of Katy Perry singing Christian music before she became famous. At the time she and a group of singers called “Youth of a Nation” performed on The Tonight Show. The lead singer of the group said that they needed a woman to do vocals for a particular song and Katy Perry came along and provided them.

megan fox hurts shirts 2015 gossipAfter Megan Fox’s many declarations that she doesn’t want her fans to be privy to her private life in any way she shocked her followers recently by posting a picture of her young son Bodhi on her Instagram account. On the heels of her recent break up from husband, and Bodhi’s father, Brian Austin Green, they have both been seen in public wearing t-shirts with cryptic messages such as “I Need More Space,” and “Life Hurts.” No one has explained the reason behind this.

Kim Kardashian is now under a doctor’s care for a possible case of gestational diabetes. As the world knows, Kim is pregnant with baby #2. She explained that this came after her doctor found more fluid in her placenta then there should be. Kim also used this to justify her complaints that being pregnant is not something she enjoys and that she can’t understand why anyone else would enjoy it. Gee Kim, tell us how you really feel.

While Kim is dealing with her diabetes scare, Khloe is at Lamar Odon’s bedside after a recent drug overdose at a Las Vegas brothel. As soon as she found out Lamar was in the hospital she was on the first flight to Las Vegas and stayed overnight with him earlier this week. His publicist released a statement asking everyone to respect the family’s privacy and not believe unconfirmed updates on his condition.

Having recovered from the injuries he received in a horrific car accident, Tracy Morgan filmed several promotional clips for his gig hosting Saturday Night Live this past weekend. The series of clips also featured Morgan jokingly questioning whether or not he was ever a regular cast member of SNL and saying he was going to make sure everyone in the SNL building got pregnant.

One Direction band members are planning on taking a vacation together after they finish up their current concert tour early next year. On the British version of Good Morning America band member Louis Tomlinson said that he and the other members were like a family to each other by now. He also said that there is no set period of time their break from working will be. According to Tomlinson, that would put pressure on the band, and they would rather just spend their time off doing whatever they want to do.

Wrapping up this week’s celebrity gossip is the depressing but unsurprising news that Miley Cyrus is becoming more and more questionable each day. She is reportedly planning to film a music video in which everyone in the video is naked. Wayne Coyne is reportedly also involved in the making of this tasteless video that shows how trashy Miley is.

CSI CYBER 203: Brown Eyes Blue Eyes Recap

csi cyber 203 brown eyes recap 2015 imagesIt’s all ‘Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes’ on this episode of CSI: Cyber, and it began when a man named Derek Noels was videotaped being held at gunpoint. Agent Ryan said she’d been awake for three days. Raven showed Agent Ryan the video after it went viral on the Internet. After twelve hours, it had millions of hits on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube. There were protests in the street after Derek Noels body was missing. The Ashdale police department in the neighborhood where Noels had lost security footage after their system was hacked into. Agent Ryan told Raven to stay in the office to track any suspicious activity while she went to investigate. She and Russell went to the police department and told them the FBI needed full access to all their department information in order to solve this crime. The chief of police refused to cooperate.

Their first goal was to identify the officer that was in the video and shot Noels. Agent Ryan talked to Noels’s mother and asked about his previous arrests. She said Noels used drugs more than he sold them, but he still didn’t deserve to die. Nelson determined that the chief of police, Chief Richards, was not the one who deleted the footage showing Noels’s murderer. Raven got access to a list of every police officer that worked for the Ashdale police. Russell analyzed the way each cop ran in video footage and used that information to put names to faces, using biometrics. He determined Officer Dean Cosley was a suspect in the case and Agent Ryan, and Nelson went to question him. His lawyer would not let him answer any questions Agent Ryan asked. He finally admitted he was the cop that roughed up Derek Noels but that nobody died that night, including Noels.

Russell and Agent Mundo went to the place where Noels was videotaped being murdered. Back at the office Raven discovered that someone had faked the video of Noels being shot, but she said that didn’t mean Officer Cosley was innocent. The guilty party was using ToggleFly.com to put Officer Cosley’s image in the video as the officer that shot Noels.

Daniel called Agent Ryan at Cosley’s house and told her that someone had released Cosley’s address on the Internet. Protestors were then seen outside the house. Agent Ryan made Cosley hand his gun over to her as the police were dispatched to the house. The mob of protestors was trying to hurt anyone in Cosley’s house. Cosley was then put into protective custody. Agent Ryan said she hated that someone with a criminal record was being protected. Agent Ryan said whoever did this was trying to cause controlled chaos.

Agent Mundo got back to the office to see everyone applauding him. Daniel figured out how the police department’s security system was hacked into. He said malware was inserted into the charger for the video camera than then took over the security system. Daniel got the IP address of the hacker and Agents Ryan and Mundo went there. The location was a church that was vandalized and burned down. Nelson reported back to Raven that the church, which was used as a community center, had been destroyed. Nelson told Agent Ryan the hacker redirected the security footage so the police would never see it. This led them to a college campus and the office of Professor Ganes. Daniel found a USB drive in the professor’s computer that would wipe out the hard drive. They found out that Professor Ganes and Officer Cosley were brothers. Agent Ryan said Professor Ganes wrote a famous book about racial issues between blacks and whites, which led the team to believe he was socially engineering racism just to write a thesis for his Doctorate. Agent Mundo and Nelson argued about racism, and Nelson found text on the Internet that attacked the black community, which offended him as a black man. The team figured out where Professor Ganes was, and Agents Mundo and Ryan went to apprehend him.

Agent Ryan questioned Professor Ganes. She told him she read his thesis and knew what he was doing. He said he had been able to predict the chain of events that led him to Agent Ryan. Ganes told Ryan he met Derek months before, and Derek had told him cops had beaten him and gotten away with it. Agent Ryan said his plot was all about vengeance because he hated his brother. Chief Richards told Agent Ryan that Officer Cosley’s secret location had been revealed. Agent Ryan contacted Cosley and told him he was being tracked by his brother.

A riot broke out, and Agent Mundo found Crowley and led him to safety. Derek Noels surfaced in the crowd and introduced himself. He screamed at the crowd to stop rioting.

Indianapolis Colts ‘Trick’ Play Confuses Media, Fans, Patriots & Themselves

indianapolis colts fake punt confuses 2015 nfl imagesDo you all remember when the Indianapolis Colts traded a first-round pick for Trent Richardson? Well, it only took them a little over two years to top that in terms of stupidity.

In what has been deemed by many as the “Worst Play in NFL History,” the Colts tried to run a fake punt…I think…no one really knows, which is part of the problem. I’ll do my best to walk you through what happened:

So it’s Sunday Night Football, and the Colts are trailing the New England Patriots 27-21 toward the end of the third quarter. It’s 4th & 3 from their own 37. The Colts line up in punt formation. Simple enough.

Now things start to get silly.

The entire team shifts to the right, putting nine players—including the entire offensive line and punter Pat McAfee—over by the Colts’ sideline. The odd two out are wide receiver Griff Whalen who lines up as a makeshift center and safety Colt Anderson who goes under-center.

If they were trying to confuse the Pats, they definitely do. Did they fool them, though? Of course not. The Patriots just adjusted with them, lining up two people over Whalen.

That’s when everything, including all the hopes and dreams of Colts’ fans around the world, crumbled. Whalen snapped the ball to Anderson, hesitated for a second seemingly forgetting that the center is supposed to block too, and then watched as Anderson was gang-tackled by a number of white jerseys.

As a result, the Colts turned it over on downs, leading to a Pats’ touchdown six plays later.

“It turned out to be one of the worst failed fakes probably of all time,” said McAfee.

Yeah, basically. One of the worst plays in general of all time. Pete Carroll must have been pretty relieved to see this happen because it makes his goal line call against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX look like pure, unadulterated genius.

“I didn’t do a good enough job of coaching it during the week,” said head coach Chuck Pagano after the 34-21 loss to the Patriots in the Deflategate AFC Championship Game rematch. Pagano can also be seen mouthing “Why did you snap that?” to Whalen as he came to the sideline after the debacle.

The best part of the play—the Colts were penalized for illegal formation because no one over by the sideline was lined up on the line of scrimmage.

Maybe next time.

NCAA College Football Week 7 Winners & Losers

ncaa college football winners losers christian mccaffrey 2015 nflOnce again, watching college football during Week 7 was an absolute treat for fans. An unbelievable finish in Ann Arbor, an upset in Memphis, and a number of clashes between ranked opponents were just part of the excitement of the college football weekend. Here’s a look at those who won and lost in Week 7 of the 2015 college football season.

WINNERS

If you are a college football fan, you won this weekend. Fans in attendance at the Big House or who viewed it from the comforts of home on national television saw the most incredible finish since the Auburn “Kick Six” field goal return at the Iron Bowl at the end of the 2013 season. Needing to punt the ball away with just 10 seconds remaining and holding on to a 23-21 lead, the Michigan Wolverines gave up an inopportune mistake to the benefit of Mark Dantonio’s Michigan State Spartans. Blake O’Neill stood calmly at his 40-yard line ready to punt the ball to the Spartans who would likely have little time and a lot of ground to cover in an attempt to have any chance at a game-winning field goal. O’Neill misplayed the snap from center and in the ensuing melee, the Spartans Jalen Watts-Jenkins scooped up the ball and returned it for a touchdown with no time remaining on the clock. The play will be talked about the entire season and was an absolute joy to watch.

Stanford lost its opener to Northwestern and appeared headed for a long season. After laying waste to UCLA, 56-35, last Thursday, the Cardinal are now 5-1 and ranked No. 10 in the country. A large part of the win over the Bruins was the play of running back Christian McCaffrey. The 6-1, 200-pound sophomore carried the ball 25 times for 243 yards and four touchdowns. He caught one pass for four yards and returned two kickoffs, one for 96 yards, to total 369 all-purpose yards. McCaffrey is the Cardinal’s leading rusher with 844 yards on the season and a big reason why Stanford appears headed for a Pac-12 Conference Championship game.

It’s been a long time since Memphis has done anything in college football. On Saturday, the Tigers made a huge statement with a 37-24 win over Ole Miss that really wasn’t as close as the score may indicate. Head coach Justin Fuentes team is now 6-0 and primed to win another American Athletic Conference title. This year, they will have the opportunity to play in the first-ever AAC Championship game.

Alabama was led by running back Derrick Henry in its 41-23 win over Texas A&M on Saturday. Henry rushed 32 times for 236 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first time that an A&M defense has given up a 200-yard rusher since 2003. The Crimson Tide defense also rose to the occasion picking off three passes and returning them all for touchdowns. Alabama is now 6-1 and a heavy favorite in the SEC West.

LOSERS

It’s hard to think of Boise State as a loser, but they were just that on Friday night in a dismal 52-26 loss to Utah State. The Broncos turned the ball over eight times – three interceptions and five fumbles. Four of the turnovers occurred in Boise State territory and led directly to points for the Aggies. The first half ended as Utah State picked off Broncos QB Brett Rypien and returned the interception for a touchdown. In their previous six games this year, Boise State had committed just six turnovers.

Indiana is a basketball state, but head coach Kevin Wilson has the football Hoosiers producing some points. Indiana has one of the more prolific offenses in college football and it helped Wilson’s Hoosiers get out to a 52-27 lead in the second half on Saturday against Rutgers. Indiana scored four straight touchdowns in the third quarter to build that lead. Unfortunately, they would not score again. Rutgers would outscore Indiana 22-0 in the fourth quarter and Kyle Federico’s field goal in the final seconds would give the Scarlet Knights a 55-52 win.

After firing head coach Steve Sarkisian, USC had to travel to rival Notre Dame with interim coach Clay Helton. The Trojans would battle the Irish pulling a few trick plays out of the bag but eventually falling 41-31. Prior to the start of the season, many thought that USC might be a College Football Playoff contender. Now, they are 3-3 and will be lucky to get bowl eligible.

The Michigan-Michigan State game on Saturday featured an epic finish and for sophomore Jalen Watts-Jenkins, a moment that he will never forget. Watts-Jenkins was, of course, the Spartan player who returned the fumble for a touchdown on the game’s final play. Watts-Jenkins was tackled hard in the end zone and then most of his Spartan teammates piled on him in celebration. When it was all said and done, Watts-Jenkins had suffered an injured hip which required surgery that was performed Sunday. While it is likely the greatest play of the sophomore’s young career, he may miss the rest of the season.

Ben Carson: The Smart Stupid Principle

ben carson smart stupid principle 2015 imagesIn the race for the 2016 presidency, there are some familiar faces as well as some new ones thrown in the mix. Within those parameters, some of the familiar faces seem out of place. Donald Trump is an obvious one with his forte being more suited for running businesses and firing people. The other is without a doubt, Ben Carson, a candidate that continually causes me to scratch my head and wonder, “hmm.” Now with the smart stupid principle, I am talking about people who are obviously very smart, but then they turn around and say the most stupid things. Carson easily falls into that category.

Now this “hmm” is for several reasons. In my quest to understand a person who is running for something as influential as the presidency, I have to know the facts. Too many people jump on bandwagons and sing the song of candidates that they don’t really know.

I will be honest here, before digging more into what Ben Carson believes and just seeing him as is, t I was like, “all hells nah.” Just the very thought that he’s a black conservative Republican put him in the same category as Herman Cain– a joke. But putting those preconceived notions aside, Ben Carson has a much better track record and background than I expected, (which doesn’t change how I feel about him). I totally get some of his views and hell, sometimes the old conservative republican in me rears its head, and I find myself saying, “Oh now that’s not so bad.”

Here is the truth though, and I have gained this from my research on him; his views on some of the hot topics- separation of church and state, taxes, religion, etc. – does not warrant the support of Republicans and his views on the “tried and true” topics- abortion, homosexuality, etc. – do. But we are passed spending all of our energies on fighting over social issues that affect only a few.

Gay people can happily marry in every state. That is not going to change. Abortions are legal. Leave Planned Parenthood and other clinics alone. These topics don’t affect my life. I am not gay, and I am in a position to have a baby if I get pregnant so going back and forth about those things don’t matter to me. What I need to know is where does he stand on the things that affect me daily, the things that affect EVERY American daily- healthcare, the economy, national security; because those things hit me right where I am. I believe that a lot of Americans feel the same way, and that’s what we need to know- where does he stand?

With that, any hope that he has to get the Republican nomination, despite a hint of validity on certain issues, is tremendously hindered by the comments he makes in his interviews and through other commentary about a lot of things that have happened.

If I am a strong believer in the right to bear arms at all costs, you lose me when you say historical events could have been curtailed if victims were equipped with weapons. You also can’t tell me that the tax code in the country is screwed up and then turn around and say that Congress should raise the government’s debt ceiling. Furthermore, his views on the Affordable Care Act are offensive and misguided. Is the ability for healthcare to be accessible to all Americans is as damaging to this country as slavery? That is a slap in the face. Nothing, in my mind, is as bad a slavery, except for the things that went on in the south during the years after. His outlook on these and more events and issues is uneven, disturbing and out of touch with reality.

Therein lies my concern with Carson. His stance on these things, which is communicated to us when he speaks to them, makes me nervous about what he will do as president on other pertinent issues. Also, it is one thing to be a commentator and speak on political issues. It’s a whole different ball game when you are the one making the choices. And I am not comfortable with the choices he might make.

Finally, another reason I don’t see him getting the presidency is he doesn’t have the presence. In an age where how, you present yourself and how eloquent you are matters just as much as what you believe (thanks, Obama) he doesn’t make the cut. He is not engaging, he doesn’t hold your attention and it all comes down to his delivery, which falls flat.

I was raised conservative, and I have voted Republican. And I am actually not opposed to voting in that way again but I have yet to hear of a candidate on the right who has a healthy, sane balance on the issues that matter most. And that includes Ben Carson.
