Antonio Brown Gave Greg Jennings New Insights Into His Problems with Big Ben

February 14, 2019 By AM 1530

Antonio Brown tweeted his farewell to Pittsburgh yesterday, and clearly thinks he’s played his last down for the Steelers. While everyone knows what a dumpster fire Brown’s time in Pittsburgh  ended up being, it’s unclear about what exactly changed in the locker room to make the Steelers go from tolerating his usual drama to sitting on the verge of trading their superstar wide … [Read more...] about Antonio Brown Gave Greg Jennings New Insights Into His Problems with Big Ben

February 14, 2019 By AM 1530

In 2019, Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world with an estimated net worth of $135 billion, thanks to his brainchild Amazon becoming the leading driver of commerce on the planet.

February 14, 2019 By AM 1530

Juan “El Chapo” Guzman is looking at life in prison after being convicted on 10 criminal counts related to his international drug trafficking ring. Once Guzman is sentenced he’ll likely become an inmate at the ADX Super Max Federal Prison in Florence Colorado, and a former warden of the prison says it’s worse than the death penalty. Although there are only around 400 inmates at … [Read more...] about A Look at Life Inside El Chapo’s Colorado Super Max Prison Home, Described as ‘Life After Death’

O-Lineman Checks Into High School Hoops Game and Immediately Pancakes Someone

February 14, 2019 By AM 1530

Offensive lineman aren’t the most graceful creatures and definitely can look out of place on a basketball court. The biggest problem, though, is when they check into a hoops game and start playing like it’s 3rd and 1. That’s what happened when what looks like an offensive guard for the football team checked into a high school game and proceeded to pancake a point guard in … [Read more...] about O-Lineman Checks Into High School Hoops Game and Immediately Pancakes Someone

February 13, 2019 By AM 1530

As die hard as NFL fans say they are, no one holds a candle to the insane commitment of international soccer fans. Real Madrid recently found this out before their Champion’s League match against Dutch superclub Ajax in Amsterdam when some local hooligans set off the equivalent of a minor league baseball fireworks bonanza outside their hotel at 3 AM to keep them up late. Four … [Read more...] about Four Ajax Fans Arrested After Lighting Up Real Madrid’s Hotel With 3 AM Fireworks Barrage

Zion Williamson Completely Dominates to Erase 20-Point Deficit With 7 Minutes Left

February 13, 2019 By AM 1530

Duke may have the best freshmen class since the Michigan Fab 5, but they aren’t immune to playing a stinker on the road. Last night, Duke found themselves down 23 with just over nine minutes left in the second half, and 19 with just over six minutes to go. That’s when Zion Williamson decided he was going to get every rebound, steal, score, and lead a Duke comeback that had them … [Read more...] about Zion Williamson Completely Dominates to Erase 20-Point Deficit With 7 Minutes Left

Boston Buzzer Beater Didn’t Save the Completely Average Lakers’ Season

February 11, 2019 By AM 1530

Colin was off on Friday, but did observe the media’s sweeping narrative that the Lakers’ last second win in Boston was the turning point of their season. It was a nice win after almost every player on the roster was included in pre-deadline trade talks for Anthony Davis, but it doesn’t change that the Lakers – currently 10th in the West – would be lucky to get into the … [Read more...] about Boston Buzzer Beater Didn’t Save the Completely Average Lakers’ Season

51-year-old Omar Vizquel’s David Blaine Magic Trick With a Baseball Stuns Crowd

February 11, 2019 By AM 1530

When it comes to discussing the best fielding shortstops of the last generation, there are really only two names: Ozzie Smith and Omar Vizquel. Vizquel was known for his ability to turn anything into a double play because his lightning quick transition from glove to hand was arguably the fastest ever, and he showed he still has some magic in his glove at 51-years-old during a … [Read more...] about 51-year-old Omar Vizquel’s David Blaine Magic Trick With a Baseball Stuns Crowd

Great White Shark Left Behind at Abandoned Theme Park is a Horror Movie Scene

February 11, 2019 By AM 1530

At one point in time Wildlife Wonderland was a bustling family fun park where people could gather to see many of Australia’s indigenous animals, but those days have long since passed. Today, the buildings are abandoned and the animals are all gone. Except for one. While exploring the creepy abandoned ghost town, some locals were surprised to find a massive great white shark … [Read more...] about Great White Shark Left Behind at Abandoned Theme Park is a Horror Movie Scene

Putting a Live In-Game Mic on Christian Hackenberg During Awful AAF Debut Produces Profanity

February 11, 2019 By AM 1530

Christian Hackenberg is trying to impress in the AAF after flaming out in the NFL, but yesterday wasn’t the day for that to happen. Hackenberg was a painful 10-23 for a scant 87 yards in a 26-0 loss to Birmingham. He was also mic’d up for the live national TV broadcast, and was not a happy man. Hackenberg was off all day, taking beating and was caught on the live mic letting … [Read more...] about Putting a Live In-Game Mic on Christian Hackenberg During Awful AAF Debut Produces Profanity
