WATCH: Randy Moss Drills Two Field Goals In Dress Shoes

SportsCenter/mattclapp’s Clippit

Before last night’s matchup between the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos, the Monday Night Countdown crew had some fun kicking field goals. The other members of the show were shanking kicks left and right, but the incomparable Randy Moss had no trouble at all. Watch him drill both of his kick attempts while still wearing dress shoes.

Straight cash, homie! I know the thin air in Denver helped him out a bit, but those kicks were pulverized. He hit from 28 and 30 yards out, and I think he could’ve hit from at least 40 if he wanted to.

This is why Randy Moss is hands down one of the coolest players to ever put on a helmet. Everything he does looks so damn effortless. From pulling down sick one-handed catches to throwing crazy laterals, to making field goals look routine while wearing church shoes, the guy is a once in a generation athletic talent.

I did love his victory dance, but I wish he dusted off a classic celebration for the occasion. He should’ve looked right into the camera, told Steven Hauschka and Chandler Catanzaro they’re hot garbage, and then reenacted his infamous mooning of Green Bay.


Ryan Lochte Doesn’t Understand The Process Of Aging

It’s been well documented that Ryan Lochte isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Even before his Olympics fiasco this Summer, the American public was well aware of Lochte’s intelligence (or lack thereof). But, well, damn, I knew he was a little Forrest Gumpy, but I didn’t know it was this bad.

For the last THREE years, on October 23, Ryan Lochte has wished his dog a Happy 8th Birthday. Like, no kidding. Literally three years in a row, same age. That’s not even misunderstanding the aging process, that’s just fundamentally not understanding how addition works.

I’m actually almost speechless. The most amazing part is that you KNOW this isn’t some sort of meta-joke or publicity stunt — dude just genuinely doesn’t understand how the aging process works.

While it wasn’t as entertaining as Margot Robbie talking about her “fart box,” Barack Obama reading “Mean Tweets” last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is definitely worth checking out. Watch Obama laugh off the haters, as his second term as President of the United States is nearing the finish line.

Pretty funny stuff. I especially enjoyed his zinger about lifting the ban on Cuban cigars. I’m most definitely going to get a workout carrying a goddamn metric ton of Cubans back to America the next time I travel aboard.

But of course, the slam dunk of the segment was saved for none other than Donald Trump. The Donald’s face had to have transformed from orange to red after getting ethered like that.

For comparison’s sake, here’s Obama’s first “Mean Tweets” appearance from March of 2015.

Let This Blind & Deaf High School Athlete Inspire You To Be Better On This Tuesday Morning

F*ck Tim Tebow — this kid is the truth. Marvin Pearson is easily the most inspiring athlete I’ve ever seen. Here I am getting all bent out of shape when I don’t get laid on a Saturday night or the Jets don’t cover, and here comes this saint just having an absolute happy-go-lucky attitude about losing two of his most important senses.

By the time he was 10 years old, Marvin Pearson was blind and had lost most of his hearing. Today, he’s scoring touchdowns and has plans to go to either Temple U or Kutztown. What a magnificent kid. Wishing him all the best.

In typical Ellen fashion, she hooked him up big time with a VIP trip to a New Orleans Saints game and a $10,00 check. Ellen is the best. Marvin is the best. I’m just average.

The New York Knicks Championship Season Begins Now, Against The Cavaliers In First Game of 2016-2017

The 2016 NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers are opening their season and the NBA season against the New York Knicks at home. The Knicks vs. Cavaliers game will air on TNT at 7:30 P.M. EST and will be the first of two games aired on TNT (the Warriors and Spurs tip off at 10:30 P.M.) as part of their Opening Night doubleheader.

The Cavaliers will be celebrating the city’s first championship since 1964 with a ring ceremony that will kick off before their first game. Originally the ceremony was supposed to begin at 7:30 P.M. (before the 8:00 P.M. tip-off), but since the Cleveland Indians are now in the MLB World Series, the Cavaliers are doing the neighborly thing and moving up their ring ceremony 30 minutes. This move allows Cleveland fans to watch the Cavaliers ring ceremony at 7:00 P.M., and then switch to the World Series game at 8:08 P.M.

It will be an exciting night for NBA fans and Cleveland residents alike, although I know that there are going to be a ton of people rooting for the NY Knicks to ruin the Cavaliers’ evening. Two years ago, the Knicks beat the Cavaliers in an upset that was supposed to mark the return of Lebron James. The Cavaliers went on to make it to the NBA Finals, while the Knicks… Well, let’s just say they came up short.

But this year, the Knicks have a much-improved roster with Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and (I contend the most important piece of all) Courtney Lee. With a starting five that I’d pit against any team in the NBA, I think that the NY Knicks have a really good shot at making it into the NBA Playoffs this year. And once we’re in, anything is possible.

But it all starts with one game. Let’s get to it:

Student Punches Teacher Fight Video

How many times have you seen videos of students fighting teachers? Too often. How many times have you seen students stick up for their teachers in a fight? Not enough. Until today. Here’s a video of two students scrapping it up, when one of them (the guy in red) blindly hits a female teacher in the face.

Enter student #3, who will not stand for that kind of behavior. He sucker punches the jesus out the offender and screams at him for hitting the teacher.

Things calm down from there, but student #3 seems hyped AF. While the teacher tries to regain order, the lanky kid in red is seeing stars and stumbling around trying to stand up straight. But enough play by play, watch the video now… Just turn down the volume a bit first.

WATCH: Will Ferrell Brought His Harry Caray Impression To ‘Kimmel’

Jimmy Kimmel Live! had themselves one helluva episode last night. Not only did we get Barack Obama reading “Mean Tweets,” we were also graced with the presence of Harry Caray. The Chicago Cubs are just four wins away from their first World Series title since 1908, so it was a perfect time for Will Ferrell to bring out his impression of the legendary Cubs announcer.

As per usual, Ferrell knocked it out of the park with his Caray impersonation. Loved watching him do random play-by-play, talk about nailing Janis Joplin, and bust Kimmel’s balls about his weight. I am a little surprised he went with Wetzel’s Pretzels considering his love for hot dogs, though.

At least he had his Budweiser on hand. I might get “Why have one when you have 12?” tattooed over my heart. Truer words have never been spoken.

WAGS of the World Series 2016: Hottest Photos of Baseball WAGs

Tickets for this year’s World Series are set to be some of the most expensive in baseball history since both Cleveland and Cubs fans are dying to see their teams win a championship. You can bet your sweet behind that a number of the Indians and Cubs players who were given tickets are doing whatever they can to sell a few of them at top dollar and keep the rest for their wives, girlfriends, and side chicks. (Side note: The “S” in “WAGS” doesn’t stand for “side chicks” but it really should at this point.)

Speaking of WAGs, we couldn’t think of two teams with finer better halves than the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs. For the Indians, you have Instagram dimepiece Sophia Phalen holding it down with a solid rotation behind her. For the Cubs, you have the latin heat of Christina Barnea–who’s simply en fuego.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Check out the hottest WAGs of the World Series 2016 in the gallery below.

Was I F*cking Serious With This Facebook Status That I Posted 7 Years Ago?

Wow. Talk about zero responsibility in life. October of 2009 would put me in my junior year of high school and apparently I had nothing better to do than to think about cereal all day. Most 16-year-olds are worrying about things like their grades, maybe some varsity sports, the SATs, or getting their license — but not me. Nope. Only thing going on in my world was the next time I could fill my fat face with a bowl of chocolate peanut butter cereal.

Seriously, got to hand it to Facebook for jacking TimeHop’s shtick. Seeing your past social media transgressions is a real treat, ESPECIALLY when the statuses are this preposterous. Could you imagine logging on Facebook and telling your 1000 or so friends that what you’re looking forward to most is cereal? Absolute asshole move on my part.

Now, let’s not get it twisted, Reese’s Puff Cereal is the absolute fire, but enough to publicly express my addiction to it? Nah, not even close. Maybe most embarrassingly of all: I posted TWO statuses about Reese’s Puff cereal within eight hours of each other. I need to get a f*cking grip on my life.

Just an all-around disaster on my part. Luckily as the years have gone on, I’ve become more woke to the social media game. Just check out the last time I tweeted:

F*cking homerun.

The Golden State Warriors Are Going To Be Fascinating

Golden State Warriors Analysis

After four long months, the NBA is finally back tonight, which is great if you love watching basketball, which I do, but is also very unfortunate for me because I’m a New York Knicks fan, and realize they’re probably never going to win a championship in my lifetime (go to hell, James Dolan). Besides watching my Knicks hopefully getting an eighth seed this year, the team I’m looking forward to watching the most, along with most people in the world, are the Golden State Warriors.

As the Cleveland Cavaliers won their first championship last season, the Warriors were the talk of the offseason when they went ahead and signed Kevin Durant to their team, that won a record 73 games during the regular season, and were on the cusp of winning their second straight championship last season. I was absolutely stunned when they got Durant, because I don’t think there’s any better way to rebound from a crushing Finals defeat than by signing one of the three best players in the world to your already dominant team, and I thought there was no way he was ever going to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder. By signing Durant, the Warriors have now become one of the most polarizing teams in the history of sports, which may seem like a stretch, but hear me out first.

A few years ago, the Warriors were the team that everyone loved, and that all started with Stephen Curry, who I would say was one of the most lovable athletes of my lifetime, and rightfully so. He is one of the most fun athletes to watch in any sport, and that’s because he seems pretty relatable to us regular people. He’s doesn’t have the physical stature of  Lebron James or the athleticism of  Russell Westbrook, but holy shit can that guy shoot a basketball. Basketball fans loved him when he was in college, and wanted his success to translate to the pros. After a few injury-riddled seasons for Curry, he was finally able to stay healthy and helped lead a young and fun Warriors team to two straight postseasons, including a first round upset of the Denver Nuggets in 2013. After a first round exit to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014, Curry had the year of his life in 2015, where he won the regular season MVP award and his first NBA Championship by defeating Lebron and the Cavs.

The Warriors were not only fun to watch because of Curry, but his backcourt running mate, Klay Thompson, can shoot the ball just as well as him, and the two of them became known as “The Splash Brothers,” while former second round pick Draymond Green became the engine that made the team go. Besides having a cocky swagger to him, he also plays hard nose basketball, but also has a nice offensive skill set to him as well. The following year when you thought it couldn’t get any better for the Warriors, they set an NBA record by winning 73 games, let me repeat that 73 GAMES, THEY WENT 73-9. THAT IS ABSURD. Even crazier was that Curry won his second straight MVP, and became the first ever unanimous MVP in the process, something Jordan, Magic, Russell, Bird, Wilt, or Lebron ever did. They proceed to cruise through the first two rounds of the Western Conference playoffs, where they faced a 1-3 deficit to Durant’s then Oklahoma City Thunder, but then rallied to win the next three games, including a thrilling Game 6 on the road, where they then went on to head to their second straight Finals appearance where they would again face the Cavs. They jumped out to a 3-1 and were on the brink of immortality and being the greatest team ever… and then Lebron happened.

Then Green couldn’t stop hitting people in the nuts, then Thompson called out Lebron in a press conference, then Curry got cocky, then Andrew Bogut got hurt, then Harrison Barnes couldn’t make a shot, then Irving made THE shot, then Lebron made the block heard around the world, and then the Warriors had blown a 3-1 Finals lead and started to became one of the most hated teams in the league. That didn’t change when Durant announced to the entire world that he was going to sign with them on July 4.

Now, while a majority of people are going to root against the Warriors this year, I am the opposite of that (though I’m still pulling for the Knicks like a goddamn idiot). In fact, I cannot WAIT to watch them this year. Unlike a large portion of basketball fans, I’m still a fan of the players on their team and I am beyond excited to watch them rain three-pointers on team for 82 games. I don’t like to take much stock in preseason, but from the few games I have seen them in the preseason has been absolutely fantastic. While they’re most likely going to have some early season chemistry issues, the way they were able to move the ball in the preseason was a thing of beauty.

I’ve heard a lot of talking heads say that they’ll have issues because there aren’t enough basketballs for everyone on the court, and while that may be true, I don’t think the Warriors would have gone out and signed Durant if they thought it was going to be an issue. I think Durant now just gives them another weapon to open up more shots for everyone, and yes, there will be nights during which Draymond doesn’t get the ball as much as he would like but I think this team only cares about winning titles; Curry even said so himself in the team’s free agent pitch to Durant.

So yeah, I want to see the Warriors do well this year. Call me a frontrunner if you will, I want to watch greatness. As much as I’d love to see my Knicks hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June, I’m not dumb enough to think that’s actually a realistic possibility. So do me a favor Warriors, and go out and win the title this year… just make sure you beat Lebron in the process because he’s an insufferable asshole.

Conor McGregor’s Rumored Next Opponent Is Not Who You’d Expect But We’re ALL ABOUT IT

Earlier this month, I brought you the rumors that Conor McGregor would be walking away from MMA after UFC 205. The news was being described as an “out-of-left-field” announcement that would take place after UFC 205 in New York City. Well, as it turns out, that announcement may be something COMPLETELY different than retirement. Certainly more exciting.

During an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan says he heard a rumor that McGregor’s ‘out-0f-left-field’ announcement will be that he will not be having a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz, but a fight with Nate’s brother Nick Diaz instead.

Wow. Talk about a bombshell. Not only is Nick Diaz a bigger athlete, he’s a better fighter than his brother, too. Take our money now, UFC. Sign us up. We’re all in on this fight.

 

Son Hits Mom With Hockey Stick After Her Debit Card Got Declined At Taco Bell

You show me someone who’s said they’ve never gotten boozed up and itched for Taco Bell and I’ll show you a goddamn liar. We’ve all made some regrettable late night choices regarding Taco Bell, but a young man from Memphis, Tennessee took things about a million miles too far in his quest for fourthmeal.

22-year-old Logan Badgley had a fierce hankering for some Mexican delicacies and was low on funds, so he asked his mom for her debit card. His mother told him that she didn’t have any money in the account, but Badgley grabbed the card and went to Taco Bell anyway.

When the card got declined, Badgley returned home in a rage. Via The Smoking Gun:

According to a criminal complaint, Badgley confronted his mother in the garage, where he “grabbed his hockey stick” and struck her on the left side of the head. The blow knocked the woman to the ground, where she lost consciousness.

Badgley told police that he had “consumed a few alcoholic beverages during the night” and “did not want to provide his side of the story.” Officers, who placed the hockey stick into evidence, noted that the victim suffered a “1” laceration to the head.”

Badgley was charged with aggravated assault, which is a felony offense. He’s currently being held at the Shelby County jail on a $5,000 bond, and he has a court date set for November 1. Personally, I’m hoping he gets the book thrown at him. Or, at the very least, he should have to tango with Dean Portman for being such a dickhead.

Also, who the hell needs a debit card to go to Taco Bell anyway!? I’m pretty sure he could have raided his couch cushions and been able to at least get a couple of soft shell tacos.

Did This Guy Actually Predict The Cubs Winning The World Series In His 1993 Yearbook Quote?

0
0

Michael Lee of the 1993 Mission Viejo, California graduating class is one of three things: a clairvoyant, an a**hole, or just a massive Chicago Cubs fan. It looks like two of the three may be true.

Someone unearthed this 1993 yearbook photo taken in Mission Viejo, California, in which Michael Lee outrageously predicted a World Series win for the then-hopeless Chicago Cubs in his yearbook picture. The BALLS on this guy.

Naturally, people were quick to doubt the legitimacy of this picture, myself included. However, it appears as though classmates of his are coming out of the woodwork backing the validity of the photo.

It all started when Twitter user Thomas Dale tweeted out the photo, saying his mom had unearthed it:

But was there corroboration of the photo? Of course, almost immediately. Reddit user named number1makeitso claims to have found four other copies of the same yearbook, and that Lee’s prediction is in those yearbooks as well. The user posted them on Imgur as evidence.

Similarly, a former classmate of Lee’s, Marcos Meza, provided WGN-TV with video proof (below):

“When [Lee and I] connected on Facebook in 2009 I sent him the photo and told him we were nearing 2016. He posted the photo of his prediction on August 8th,” Meza said. “After my Dodgers lost it was time for me to make this go viral and BeLEEve in the Cubs for 2016.”

All in all, I’m absolutely ENTHRALLED by this story. I feel as though the risk/reward on this one was totally not worth it, like picking Jacksonville to cover a spread. Had he been wrong (which was likely) he would have just been that guy in the yearbook who wasted his yearbook quote. That’s a bad look. A yearbook quote should either be A) ironic, B) self-deprecating, or C) goddamn inspirational. Mikey L went for none of the three. He went for straight psychic status. He went for the legendary swing and he connected.

Michael Lee, I don’t know where you are, but I respect you.

Now the Cubs just need to win, or else Michael Lee will become a new Chicago Cubs curse.

Mississippi HS Student Attacked With Noose, NAACP Demands Justice

0

Stone County High School Football Noose

The President of the NAACP in Mississippi, Derrick Johnson, is speaking out on behalf of a black high school football player who was allegedly the victim of a hate crime a few weeks ago. According to the parents of the student, Mr. and Mrs. Payton, their son was attacked by a group of as many as four other students (some teammates of his) who threw a noose around his neck. Mr. Johnson and the community around him demand a federal hate crime investigation.


What Happened?

On October 13, a black sophomore at Stone High School in Mississippi was assaulted and accosted by multiple students near the locker room. He and his parents claim that a group of white boys threw a lasso around him.

After the incident, the victim’s parents tried to handle the situation via school officials, who they say have botched things entirely. The NAACP has said no one has been punished and no one has been charged with a crime.

The football coach, though, named John Feaster, has publicly stated that he kicked at least one of the accused off of the football team this Monday. Additionally, that player was suspended for last Friday’s game. Coach Feaster said that despite some rumors, the player who stands accused of the attack was not a prominent member of the team.

“It’s sad, there aren’t any winners or losers,” said Feaster, who paused to pray before talking. “It just kicks up a lot of the past.”

He said he feels “terrible” for the victim, “a tough kid who’s hanging in there.”

“He knows I love him and his teammates love him and the coaching staff loves him and he isn’t going to be treated any differently. He’s one of my favorite kids on this team [source].”

According to school rules, any student who assaults another student will be expelled immediately.


Who Was Involved?

There are no names being used at this time, considering the serious matter of the alleged offenses and the fact that these students are all minors. What Mr. Johnson did mention at his press conference on Monday, though, is that the alarming nature of the accusation is only made more serious by the fact that these suspects were seen earlier in the year with Confederate flags on their trucks.

Even more upsetting is that when Mr. and Mrs. Payton tried to file charges against the young men responsible, the police department urged them not to press charges because one of the young men was the son of a retired law enforcement officer.

NBA Predictions 2016-17 Season: Must-See Analysis & Preview

Basketball is back! It’s Opening Night in the NBA as all 30 teams begin a new season with the hopes and dreams that this is their year to win it all. Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are your defending champions. which is something Cavaliers fans will be saying for the first time in history. The NBA offseason provided us with more drama than a Kardashian family dinner. We said goodbye to living legends like Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. Oh, and I think a guy named Kevin Durant went to the Warriors.

Let’s take a look at five of the biggest storylines for the upcoming season.


1. Are The Warriors The New Villains In The NBA?

Warriors

Like I mentioned above, Kevin Durant packed his bags and headed towards the West Coast as he joined the Golden State Warriors. It’s not like the defending two-time Western Conference champions were in dire need of a break. They already have Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Plus, the Warriors won 73 freaking games without Kevin Durant! Durant got a ton of heat for leaving Oklahoma City, a team who had a 3-1 lead against the Warriors in the Conference Finals before losing the series. Because of that, the Warriors went from an exciting, lovable team to the most hated in the NBA. For viewers, you are going to watch the Warriors for two reasons. You either are a fan of the Warriors or you want to see them fail. I was totally ok with Durant leaving the Thunder for the Warriors, but Golden State will be the bad guys whether you like it or not.


2. Can Any Team Stop The Warriors And Cavaliers From Playing In The NBA Finals?

Kawhi Leonard

Once Durant signed with the Warriors, everyone decided to pencil in the Warriors vs. Cavs in an NBA Finals Rematch. Is this good for the game if fans have to wait eight months for an outcome that we know will happen? It depends on your thinking. If you want to see another epic final round like last year, you’re more than likely going to get it again. However, if you root for one of the 28 other teams in the league, your season is over before it even starts. That being said, can anyone stop the Warriors or Cavs from reaching the finals? Truthfully, I can only see one team that can play as a spoiler and that’s the San Antonio Spurs. Despite losing Tim Duncan, the Spurs added Pau Gasol and still have LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Lenoard and the best coach in the NBA, Greg Poppovich. I’m not saying that it’s going to happen, but the Spurs are your best bet for an upset.


3. Who Will Win The MVP, Russell Westbrook or James Harden?

Russell Westbrook

Finally, something a Warrior or Cav won’t win! The MVP race will be between Russell Westbrook and James Harden and that’s just a fact. Both guys are going to put up video game numbers. Westbrook officially has the keys to the Thunder’s offense, which means his stat sheet will be loaded every night. It’s highly possible that Westbrook might average close to a triple-double. In turn, James Harden could score 40 every night in Mike D’Antoni’s system. Harden is now the point guard for the Rockets so the ball will be in his hands every possession. I’d give the slight edge to Westbrook because I think his team will do better, but if you like offense, these two will be fun to watch.


4. Which Teams Will Take The Next Step And Become Playoff Contenders?

Karl-Anthony Towns

Frankly, I actually think finding the answer to this question is pretty easy. It’s the Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics. I understand that these two teams were the “sexy picks” for every NBA analyst, but it’s true. Both of these teams are young and gaining experience by the day. The Timberwolves have found their cornerstone in Karl-Anthony Towns. Add Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and Tyus Jones to the mix and that’s a solid core of young talent. New coach Tom Thibodeau is the perfect veteran coach to make a playoff push. While Minnesota is on the brink of the playoffs, the Celtics are on the brink of being the second best team in the Eastern Conference. That’s how good I think this team can be. Danny Ainge aka Danny Draft Picks has built this team from scratch and the years of gathering young talent is starting to pay off. Al Horford adds a much-needed post-presence and Brad Stevens is slowly becoming the best coach in the NBA (heard it here first). They’re still one year away from truly contending, but the Celtics will continue to show tremendous promise.


5. Can The Knicks Turn It Around And Make The Playoffs?

The most frustrating team in the NBA to root for is by far the New York Knicks. Every season usually starts with a lot of hope and it seems to always end with a lot of disappointment. However, this year is going to be different… seriously. The Knicks had one of the best off-seasons out of any team in the league. The additions of Derrick Rose, Courtney Lee, Brandon Jennings and Joakim Noah are infinitely better than the roster from last year. I look at all of those players as guys with something to prove. They weren’t wanted by their old teams and now it’s time to show the world that they still can be stars, especially Rose. That being said, like him or hate him, the season will only go as far as Carmelo Anthony takes them. Don’t get me wrong, Kristaps Porzingis is our future and who the franchise should build around. Knowing this, Melo has to change the way he plays. Melo is still going to have to put the ball in the hoop, but he has to give up more shots and pass the ball around to the younger guys. This is a gut-check year for Melo. I truly believe he will shut up all his critics this year, but only if he starts to act like the true leader of this team. There is no reason why the Knicks can’t be a four to six seed and win a playoff series. I truly believe that this is the year the franchise will take a step in the right direction. In Phil We Trust.


WATCH: Green Day Brings Fan On Stage & He Shreds “When I Come Around”

This past Sunday night, Green Day was playing a concert at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois. They apparently saw a fan holding up a sign that said, “I can play every song on Dookie,” so they called him on stage and let him play guitar on “When I Come Around.” To say that Thomas Bulvan was up for the challenge would be a tremendous understatement.

That was badass. Bulvan was shredding that song like he’s been in the band for his whole life. Stage presence for days too with those dynamite jumps, kicks, and spin moves. He even threw in a stage dive for good measure at the end. Kid’s got pizzazz oozing out of his pores.

I can’t imagine being called on stage like that, as I’m 100% certain I’d f*ck up even the simplest task. Way too much pressure. Billie Joe Armstrong could ask me to play “Hot Cross Buns” on the recorder and I’d piss my pants and scamper off stage.

Who Are The Hackers Behind The DDoS Attacks?

Dyn ddos hackers attacks

Remember those devastating hacks at the end of last week? You know, that hack that knocked hundreds of websites offline all across the globe? What websites, you ask? Well, some people got kicked off of Twitter, couldn’t watch their favorite shows and movies on Netflix and weren’t able to listen to their favorite tunes on Spotify, among many, many others sites that were cut off, and people couldn’t read the news on CNN or the New York Times and even on the “no spin zone” of Fox News. Well, what the heck happened here? Who hacked and attacked our servers in the United States and all throughout the world?

According to Yahoo News, National Intelligence Director James Clapper indicates that a “non-state actor” appears to be the one behind the Distributed Denial of Services attacks that flooded the World Wide Web Friday morning and striking the internet for a third time in the middle of the afternoon at 4:30 P.M. (EST). Clapper claims that investigators are retrieving much data on these attacks, which points the finger at non-state actors for this unprecedented cyber attack. Putin can sleep easy tonight (not saying this news has any barring on that, but he sure has been getting flack for the DNC hacks.)

So, who are the hackers behind the DDoS attacks? That’s what we would like to know (us and so would many governments across the world). A group who calls themselves New World Hackers has taken responsibility for Friday’s cyber attack, which temporarily threw many popular sites offline and attacked Dyn, Inc., a major internet firm that provides the domain names for all of the popular websites that were hurt in this hack.  So, then the question arises of who are these New World Hackers who taken the blame for such an unprecedented attack that rippled all across the world wide web? Last year, they hacked the BBC and pushed that website offline for several hours during New Year’s Eve. “The reason we really targeted [the] BBC is because we wanted to see our actual server power,” says the New World Hackers. But that is peanuts compared to the damage they did on Friday.

This group is saying that they are ones solely responsible for Friday’s DDoS attacks. That incriminating claim made by the New World Hackers can’t be verified at this time. But an interview with BBC explains why they would perform such an attack, as the group said, “We have an annual power test each year and this is actually against Russia.  Testing power is the key. Like that we see how much bandwidth each attack outputs…” also saying, “It’s for the good.. Russia is pretty much saying they are better than the U.S by hacking into everything attempting to start a war. We will show them a war.”

New World Hackers message to the world is to “stay educated” and we can learn a lot of how vulnerable our cyber infrastructure can be for the hackers in the shadows to latch onto. We don’t know for sure if they are behind these attacks. But we know for sure that they are a non-state actor, and it looks like they have their eyes set on Russia and the world.

Someone Actually Finally Stabbed A Scary Clown In Self-Defense

We don’t want to jinx anything, but clowns have kinda/sorta died out in the past week here in the United States, no? Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case in Berlin, Germany, where one 16-year-old dressed as a clown was stabbed by a 14-year-old.

According to the police report, the 16-year-old decided it would be a good idea to put on some creepy clown mask and bring a claw hammer as he was trying to scare his friends. Thankfully, he learned his lesson when one of his 14-year-old friends pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the clown once in the upper body.

Only once they pulled the mask out off the now-bleeding clown did they learn it was actually their friend…. traumatizing these friends either further. Not only did this kid get scared by a hammer-wielding clown, he just realized that he stabbed his friend. The youth immediately called 911 and administered first-aid until the ambulance showed up.

And here comes my favorite part…

Once the ambulance and police arrived, they first took the 16-year-old to the hospital and then arrested him for assaulting his younger friends. The 14-year-old got off on self-defense. Eventually, the clown was released to his parents.

Obviously, I’m happy that this ended somewhat well, but what the f*ck did that older kid want to do with a hammer? Like, that is definitely a frightening thing to be holding. A baseball bat, an oversized plastic knife, even a toy gun (don’t ever take one of these outside), these are all less threatening than a hammer. If I see someone come at me with a claw hammer, let alone a clown, you better believe that I’m taking him seriously.

World’s Worst Drug Dealer Gets Popped With 124 Pounds Of Pot Because He Was Speeding

If I were ever running some serious weight in drugs, you know what I’d do? Make sure that was the ONLY law I was breaking. My taillights would be working on point. My turn signals would be prompt if not a tad too early. I would do a solid two miles per hour below the speed limit. I would drive in the right lane the entire time. To me, these are common sense rules of drug running, however, apparently this real life drug runner had never heard of them.

Via Fox 61:

WHITE MARSH, Md.  — Maryland State Police have arrested a Connecticut man after they say they found 124 pounds of marijuana in his car.

Local news organizations report that 67-year-old John Paul Demorest was arrested on drug possession and drug kingpin charges.

The incident began Saturday after state police pulled over Demorest on Interstate 95 near White Marsh due to speeding. The trooper who pulled him over called for a K-9 unit to inspect the car after noticing indications of criminal activity.

Afterward, the K-9 alerted officials to the presence of drugs. Police found five loaded trash bags containing marijuana valued at $620,000.

Demorest is being held at a Baltimore County jail on a $1 million bond. Online records do not list an attorney.

Also, shame on this dude for not only not knowing the basic credos of drug traffic, but for having never seen Pulp Fiction. As The Wolf says in Pulp Fiction:

“About the car, is there anything I need to know? Does it stall, does it make a lot of noise, does it smoke, is there gas in it, anything? Don’t get me out on the road and I find out the brake lights don’t work.”

This Girl Megan Marx From The Australian Bachelor Is A Reality Show Genius

Megan Marx was a contestant on Australia’s version of The Bachelor, there to prove to a guy that she was the one for him; that above all other girls, Megan was the best. But then, she says, she hit a snag. She actually fell in love with another girl on the show, Tiffany Scanlon.

Yesterday on Instagram, Megan wrote a somewhat lengthy caption about her new relationship and how excited she was. Here’s a snippet from the post:

I met Tiffany in a very strange situation. Well… we were kind of dating the same guy. And it was filmed and put on TV 😂.
From that first cocktail party, it was like this instant calibration between souls, as if we had known each other once before. Friendship ripened into something bolder, trust in a very strange situation was formed, and now every adventure we have rivals the other- and continues to make plans for itself…

Happy Birthday Tiffany. I love you.

I am going to come right out in the open and say it. I recognize that this probably isn’t a politically statement, but I don’t care. Here it goes:

I don’t buy it. I don’t buy this relationship for one second. I do not believe that these two gorgeous blondes (who both auditioned and won places on The Bachelor, a reality show in which people know that they’re going to be on TV to become famous) somehow actually wound up falling in love and having a relationship with each other. And believe me, there are few people who want hot blonde lesbians to be together more than I do, but to me this just stinks of a good business plan.

Wait, scratch that. I meant the best business plan. This is pure genius.

Megan and Tiffany have just created the single greatest reality television spinoff show in decades. “Oh, we can’t win The Bachelor? Let’s just start our own show, make a bazillion dollars off it, and then decide that we weren’t really right for each other at the end of five seasons or whenever E! decides to replace our show with something else.”

These two women are perfect for a Keeping Up With The Kardashians-type show. They’re hot, blonde, Australian and probably silly enough to edit together a couple of palatable scenes per episode. Check out Megan’s photos below and tell me she doesn’t deserve her own show.
