Let it be known, I’m a huge fan of The Game. Not like his music or anything (although ‘Hate It or Love It’ is a bonafide classic), but more of just his general being/persona. Whether it be admitting to nailing three of the Kardashians, to meeting with the LAPD to try and foster peace, to being completely unapologetic about who he is and where he came from, The Game personifies the ‘I don’t give a f*ck what you think about me’ attitude that so many of us desire.

And that’s why the way he just casually announced that he’s going to jail to epic — it’s so damn nonchalant.

Via Uproxx:

While performing in Russia recently, Game announced he’ll be penning his last album from a jail cell following an altercation with law enforcement. “When I get back to Los Angeles, I’m going straight to jail because I f*cking had a fight with a police officer and sh*t,” the rapper revealed.
“So I’m gonna sit down for a minute and write my next album, which is probably gonna be my last album.” Game says the project will be called The Westside Story and is going to be “some ill sh*t” to close out his career.

So, there you have it — little bit of jail time, final album, and that’s all she wrote on The Game’s rap career.

(No. 19) Auburn will get a rare meeting with (No. 7) Oklahoma in the 2017 Sugar Bowl on January 2 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orlean, Louisiana. This SEC-Big 12 matchup will feature two teams full of triumph and hardship experienced during the regular season. Oklahoma brings quarterback Baker Mayfield, running back Samaje Perine and wide receiver Dede Westbrook to form a lethal offense attack both on the ground and through the air. Auburn flashes a potent offense too, but wins games with a fearsome defense that stars pass rusher Carl Lawson. After tripping to a 1-2 start, the Tigers looked more like the preseason juggernaut many expected them to be late in the season.

Gus Malzahn will face off with Bob Stoops, as both coaches have been under scrutiny at different points of the year putting their job security in question.

This contest is one of three highly anticipated games in the third edition of the College Football Playoff. Two years ago, Ohio State beat No. 1 Alabama as a four seed and eventually went on to win the 2015 College Football National Championship Game. Quarterback J.T. Barrett was a member of that squad, and he and (No. 3) Ohio State will have another crack at primetime as they’ll square off with Heisman Trophy winner Deshaun Watson and the (No. 2) Clemson Tigers. The winner will move on to the title game where they’ll face the winner of No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Washington.

Both the Buckeyes and the Tigers bring experienced head coaches, as Urban Meyer has two national titles to his name while Dabo Swinney made a championship appearance against Alabama last season. Expect both teams to be well prepared come New Year’s Eve, potentially highlighting the most entertaining game of the three CFP games.

We’re right in the thick of bowl season, and the upcoming Citrus Bowl is one of the most intriguing games of the bunch. In the 71st edition of the Citrus Bowl, the #19 ranked LSU Tigers will take on the #15 ranked Louisville Cardinals.

We’ll be witnessing history on December 31, as the Tigers (7-4) and Cardinals (9-3) will be facing off for the first time ever. This will also be the first time LSU or Louisville has ever played in a Citrus Bowl, and it will be the first bowl game for LSU head coach Ed Orgeron.

While there will be plenty of cherries popped in this game, LSU still has plenty of experience playing in big games, as this will be the school’s 48th bowl appearance. The Tigers have gone 24-22-1 up to this point, and they have won three National Championships.

Louisville doesn’t have quite the same pedigree as LSU, but they are no slouches when it comes to playing under the bright lights. This will be the Cardinals’ 21st bowl appearance in school history, and they have compiled a 10-9-1 record.

Now that you got a brief history lesson, let’s break down everything about the 2016 Citrus Bowl.

A pregnant FSU student has admitted that she’s selling positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist for $25 a pop. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, spoke to WJAX-TV and told the new channel that she came up with the idea while she was searching for jobs. For her sake, she should certainly hope that nobody ever finds out who she is because I can tell you right now that any male employer who learned this dark secret about her would never hire her in a million years.

Here’s how her Craigslist ad reads: “Whether you are using it for your own amusement such as a prank, or to blackmail the CEO of wherever who you are having an affair with I DONT CARE AT ALL. This is an absolutely no questions asked type of deal tell me what you need I provide it for monetary exchange.”

Honestly, I can’t imagine many things on this planet that are worse to be selling than positive pregnancy tests. These strips of paper are right there below guns, heroin-laced-with-fentanyl, regular heroin and fake iPhone chargers that blow up your phone. Now, the question is whether or not I blame her for hustling and just trying making a buck where she can. Uhh, surprise, yeah I do. Faking a pregnancy and making your boyfriend/husband believe that his life is about to take turn for the worse is 100% psychotic and borderline a punishable offense. Like, I’m talking both you and the buyer of these pregnancy tests should be jailed for fraud.

Speaking of fraud, let’s take a look at the legal definition of fraud:

A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury.

Yes, Your Honor, that seems like an open and shut case to me.

Let me tell you a little personal story that happened to me once-upon-a-time. College-aged Wyatt was dating someone who thought it’d be hilarious to call me hysterically crying and telling me that she was pregnant. I got to her dorm room where she continued to prank me, bro. She was crying, I started crying, it was awful. I thought for sure my life was over. And then after about ten minutes of consoling and hugging and whatever, this absolute **** of a woman turns around and tells me that she was joking and that I fell for it. LOL. I nearly killed her, right then and there.

Needless to say, we broke up, and then got back together because I’m a total idiot loser, but that’s besides the point. Here’s my point:

If you tell a guy that surprise, you’re pregnant!, he’s probably going to lose his mind a little bit. That’s a natural reaction. But if he learns that you were joking or lying in an attempt to get one over on him? Well then you’re on your own there.

I must admit, all of our Miss COED 2017 contestants are pretty awesome. Each one of them has unique talents and brings something different to the table. That being said, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s anything Fallon Williams, in particular, can’t do. The freshman at the University of Southern California volunteers for at least three different organizations, sings, dances, acts, plays piano, and is in a sorority. Phew, I’m tired already. She also won IJM Miss Texas Teen 2015. Does that mean USC will take home the Miss COED title two years in a row? You’ll have to vote next month to find out.

What’s your biggest accomplishment thus far?

I would say my biggest accomplishment so far was winning IJM Miss Texas Teen 2015! I was able to use the title for community service like donating to the Ronald McDonald House and working with Houston Food Bank, and Theatre Therapy for individuals with special needs,  and spreading messages I’m passionate about like bullying awareness and prevention, and positive body image. I hope to do as well with my next pageant, Miss California, this January!

Do you have any secret talents?

Maybe not so secret, but I have been singing, dancing, acting, and playing piano since I was little. I love to perform!

What’s your most memorable moment at school?

In my sorority we had a sisterhood bonding day, and one of the activities was sharing our stories with one another. It really helped me become closer with all my new sisters and understand that everyone has obstacles that they have had to deal with or are still struggling with currently. It was a beautiful moment, all of us opening up and coming together.

Name one thing on your bucket list.

I would love to go skydiving! I love rollercoasters and even went bungee jumping so I have to try it!

Who would have ever thought we’d be sitting her being jealous of Detroit? Cause trust me, there are few things that would make me jealous of that hell hole, but a combo of two of the dankest fast-casual dining spots in the biz is certainly one of those things.

The 300-seat restaurant will be located at the Millender Center. It’s goal is to serve guests in nearby hotels as well as downtown visitors, office workers and residents. The restaurant’s menu is still being developed, and it’s not yet known whether guests could order any item at anytime.

Imagine, you can crush breakfast and lunch in one sitting. Next thing we know, these restaurants will be delivering (*crosses fingers*)

Via Detriot Free Press:

The 12,000-square-foot restaurant would replace the former Sweet Lorraine’s cafe and be a franchise of TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants. It is expected to open in late 2017 and employ more than 100 people. The restaurant will feature a coffee bar and Detroit-centric interior design, Executive Chairman Mark Schostak said.

“This is the first IHOP/Applebee’s combo that’s ever been built anywhere,” Schostak said. The Schostak company “is proud to expand our portfolio by uniquely combining two nationally recognized and family-oriented brands.”

Ooooph. This’ll get the blood flowin’ to all the right places. Whenever Leonardo Dicpario and Martin Scorsese team up, you know about to see the illest shit ever (see: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street). Well folks, looks like Hollywood’s greatest couple is back in action for a sixth movie.

In January, Scorsese’s focus will turn to the adaptation of Erik Larson’s 2003 best-selling novel The Devil in the White City, with DiCaprio set to play the role of the novel’s serial killer, Dr. H. H. Holmes.

Via The Toronto Sun:

“Right now, there is a script being worked on,” Scorsese said of an adaptation of Erik Larson’s book, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America. Larson’s tale, based on a true story, entwines the stories of a notorious serial killer and the architect who designed the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago.

“One of the things that I had to stop for the past six months,” Scorsese said about his final push to complete his new spiritual drama Silence, “was my meetings on that script. They want me to start again in January and see if we can find a way because it’s an extraordinary story.”

Instant Oscar contender? I think so. Combine that with the fact Scorsese is also developing his long-gestating The Irishman with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and you’ve got yourself some consistent Scorsese heat being served up for the next few years.

For Chance The Rapper fans, Christmas has come early, as the Chicago rapper dropped Merry Christmas Lil Mama, a 9-track mixtape with Jeremih, in the early hours of Thursday, December 22. Comedian Hannibal Buress pops up on “All The Way”, and NoName appears on “The Tragedy.” Merry Christmas Lil Mama is Chance’s first project since Coloring Book and Jeremih’s first since Late Nights: Europe.

Maybe nobody in pop culture has had a better year than Chance The Rapper. He opened the year with his verse on Kanye West’s “Ultralight Beam”, which many consider to be one of the best rap verses of the year. Then, in April, he dropped his third mixtape, Coloring Book. Over the summer, Chance headlined his own tour, the Magnificent Coloring World Tour. Finally, only a couple weeks ago, Chance made history– Coloring Book is one of the first streaming-only albums to receive Grammy consideration, as Chance racked up nominations in Best Rap Song, Best New Artist, Best Rap Album, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best Rap Performance.

There’s being a crazy football fan, and then there is this guy. 20-year-old Pontrey O’Neal Jones of Austin, Texas, has been charged with murder after stabbing his step-mother to death after she had been ‘gloating’ about the Dallas Cowboys victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.

via CBS:

Jones told officers he had initially decided to break his little sister’s neck, but after changing his mind he had “developed a plan against” the victim, stashing a black-handled knife in the living room couch.

Police say Jones’ father and the victim watched the Cowboys game on the couch and, when the game was done and Jones had returned from getting fresh air, he noticed the victim was “disrespecting his father and gloating about how the Cowboys won the game.”

According to police, that’s Jones when retrieved the knife, walked behind the couch, lunged over Ruiz, and stabbed her multiple times. Her husband intervened to stop the attack and Jones then fled the apartment.

The already horrifying story quickly takes a turn into the bizarre, as Jones was located about 10 minutes later, lying naked in the grass in the 2400 block of South Congress Avenue. He was then taken into custody by police.

Responding officers began first aid on Ruiz until EMS arrived and took over rescue efforts. She was transported to South Austin Medical Center, where she was later pronounced deceased.

Jones is held on a $500,000 bond and charged with murder.

Who Is Pontrey O’Neal Jones?

Jones, a 20-year-old from Austin, Texas, is a man who murdered his step-mother for gloating about the Cowboys victory.

What Happened?

20-year-old Pontrey O’Neal Jones of Austin, Texas, has been charged with murder after stabbing his step-mother to death after she had been ‘gloating’ about the Dallas Cowboys victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.

For such a short video, I sure have a hell of a lot of angles I want to tackle here. First, is the act of live streaming yourself playing video games. When did this become a thing? Like, how did the rise of Pew Die Pie or whatever the f*ck his name is even happen? Clearly, it’s a decade thing — if you’re 23 like me, you don’t understand it, but if you’re 13, watching OTHER people play video games is your shit.

My second take on this video is: is this fake? Our man right here is locked into his video games, yet he seems to be shutting the door on his mom before she even walks into the frame. Something about the timing and his reaction seem off. Also, if it is fake, what kind of pervy family are we dealing with? “Yeah, hey Mom, could you throw on your black underwear for me and walk into my room while the camera is recording so we can go viral?” I’m gagging just thinking about that interaction, so let’s just assume (/hope) that this is real.

Lastly, is Mom actually hot? It’s a shit camera and she’s in the frame for about a second, so it could be tough to tell. Well, I’m going with YES, Mom is hot, 10/10 would smash 8 days a week. Plus, she’s just casually strolling around the cribs in her all lingerie? You know she’s down.

Hey, Mom, hmu.

Valerie Fairman, the 23-year-old star from the reality show “16 and Pregnant”,  has died of an apparent overdose. Valerie, who starred on the MTV show’s second season in 2010, was only 23. She leaves behind seven-year-old daughter, Nevaeh, who is currently with Valerie’s mother.

Via TMZ:

Valerie’s mom tells us she was at a friend’s home in Coatesville, Pennsylvania Wednesday when the friend repeatedly called for Valerie, who was in the bathroom, but she did not come out.  We’re told the friend broke down the door and found her unresponsive.

The coroner is conducting toxicology tests to determine the exact cause of death but we’re told it appears to be an OD.

Fairman, a native of Oxford, Pennsylvania, had a run in with the police just last week, as she was arrested on December 15 for resisting arrest and giving false identification to police. Similarly, she was arrested in February 2015 on prostitution charges.

Fairman’s ex-boyfriend, David Pryce, meanwhile, alluded to the idea that the reality star’s passing might have been drug-related.

“I will always miss you Valerie and I want to tell anyone who is selling s–t to people to stop,” he wrote.

A Facebook video posted by Porsha Craver depicting a Fort Worth, TX police officer arresting a woman, identified as Jacqueline Craig, and another woman, Brea Hymond, has gone viral. The video was posted on Facebook on

Police were a chasing a suspect possibly involved in this morning’s officer-involved shooting in Blue Springs, Missouri.

The suspect has since been apprehended. Police say he may have been trying to load an assault riffle before he was arrested.

Via KMBC:

olice said they were chasing the vehicle near Interstate 70 and Adams Dairy Parkway when it left the roadway in that area. The suspect showed a weapon, and police fired shots.

The suspect then ran across I-70 to get away. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket. He has brown hair.

This story is developing. Please refresh for updates.

Lawrence McKinney, a 61-year-old Tennesse man who served 31 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit is petitioning the state to compensate him $1 million for the  31 years of his life that were taken away. So far, they’ve only given him $75 dollars.

Way back in October of 1977, a woman from Memphis was rape din her house by two men. She later identified one of the rapists as her neighbor, Lawrence McKinney. In 1978, McKinney was convicted on burglary and rape charges, and sentenced to 115 years in prison.

However, 30 years later, DNA evidence cleared him of the charges in 2008. Upon his release in 2009, he Tennessee Department of Corrections gave him a $75 check. That’s it. $75 to start is life over.

“Because I had no ID it took me three months before I was able to cash it,” McKinney told CNN.

The word legend gets thrown around far too haphazardly in our society. And it’s a shame, because it dilutes the hell out of one of the greatest words in our lexicon. But let me tell you something folks, if there’s such a thing as a living legend, it’s the Rolex-Wearin’, Diamond-Ring-Wearin’, Kiss-Stealin’, WOO, Wheelin’-Dealin’, Limosinie-Ridin’, Jet-Flyin’, Son-of-a-Gun that is The Nature Boy Ric Flair.

ESPN’s spectacular documentary series 30 for 30 has been churning along since I was in high school, and they still haven’t lost their fastball. This Flair doc is going to be one of their best yet.

Last night, the #5 ranked Duke Blue Devils beat the Elon Phoenix 72-61. But the real story from the game was Grayson Allen acting like a gigantic dickhead yet again. For the third time in the past year, Allen intentionally tripped another player. Watch Allen blatantly stick his leg out to trip Elon’s Steven Santa Ana, and then have a total meltdown on the bench.

What a goddamn nutjob. After an incident like that, Duke clearly either had to suspend Allen or start pumping him full of horse tranquilizers before games. Duke went with the former, and via ESPN, here’s what that weasel Coach K had to say about the suspension.

“We have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the incident involving Grayson Allen from last night’s game against Elon,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement issued Thursday morning. “As I stated last night, the incident was unacceptable and inexcusable. He took an important step last night by apologizing in person to Steven Santa Ana and Coach Matt Matheny.

“As a program, we needed to take further steps regarding his actions that do not meet the standards of Duke Basketball. To that end, we have determined that Grayson will be suspended from competition for an indefinite amount of time.”

As a passionate Duke hater, Christmas just came early. Have fun trying to con your way into bogus free throws from the couch, you deplorable scumbag.

A couple was all set for a lifetime of happiness, but a sinister ex-boyfriend of the bride threw a monkey wrench into their plans. Apparently, the ex-boyfriend put pictures of the bride performing oral sex on him on all of the guest tables. Via Imgur, here’s a text conversation of how everything went off the rails.

Unsurprisingly, this caused people to lose their shit. Watch footage of the massive brawl in the videos below.

Goddamn, I can’t imagine being that poor groom. You go from being on cloud 9 to being in a Royal Rumble at the drop of a hat. Hopefully, he at least got some good chair shots in on the bride’s ex-boyfriend for blowing up his life with those stealth blowjob photos.

I also feel terrible for the bride’s dad. Not only do you find out that your daughter is a huge floozy, now you have to shell out a billion dollars to the reception hall for all of that damage. I can’t imagine having the floor covered in blood like the elevator doors in The Shining was covered in his security deposit.

Let’s start off simple, shall we? Federal holidays, aka government-sanctioned holidays are holidays that are observed by the government and are days on which they authorize the closure of federal offices (for usually no longer than a day), while still making sure that federal employees receive pay.

But what exactly designates a holiday as federal?

Congress has been granted to establish 11 permanent ‘National Holidays.’

• Friday, January 1: New Year’s Day
• Monday, January 18: Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Monday, February 15 *: Washington’s Birthday
• Monday, May 30: Memorial Day
• Monday, July 4: Independence Day
• Monday, September 5: Labor Day
• Monday, October 10: Columbus Day
• Friday, November 11: Veterans Day
• Thursday, November 24: Thanksgiving Day
• Monday, December 26 **: Christmas Day

Originally, New Year’s Day, George Washington’s Birthday, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day were designated as federal holidays back in the 1870s.

The reason for those particular days being chosen was because the acting attorney general James C. McReynolds said these practices “must have been known to the Congress, and it must have been that those days were declared public holidays only by laws applicable to the District.” Basically, to designate all days made holidays by any law in effect within the District of Columbia.

Fast forwarding to modern day times, this strikes up quite a bit of controversy due to other religions and the lack of federal equality for their holidays, however, we will save that for a rainy day.

What Makes Christmas Eve A Federal Holiday?

Back in the early ages of the 17th century, Christmas wasn’t even considered a holiday yet, it was disorderly. The Puritans wanted to rid England of corruption. So in their attempt at a last-ditch effort, they personified the spirit of The Grinch and canceled Christmas.

It was not until the 19th century that they decided to give the concept of Christmas another go. Except it was re-invented for peace, tranquility, and a time to be with friends and family. It brought many different families of social statuses together. The holiday was intended to be warmhearted, not destructive as it once was.

Christmas took flight after that, families started to decorate, children read books, magazines would not stop printing. The press coverage and the overall atmosphere of the holiday were globally encouraged. That’s when President Ulysses S. Grant declared Christmas a legal holiday on June 24, 1870.

So you see federal holidays shall be holidays within the District of Columbia, and that’s exactly what Christmas fought to become! A day of peace, nostalgia, and a time when everyone comes together regardless of race, gender, or social stability. It does not matter who or what you are, all that matters is if you are a good enough person to see through differences and accept people as they come. That is the true meaning of Christmas. 

Hopefully you enjoyed this little history lesson. I encourage you to always read up on different cultures and customs, you never really know the interest that lies behind holidays.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, everyone!

France is a very open place–everyone knows this. The idea of nudity, being free with your body, or whatever else you want to call it is a much stronger ideal over there than it is here in the United States. So when we learned that a class of 17 and 18-year-old students posed naked for a picture, we weren’t that surprised. Then we learned that their teachers joined in. Then we learned that the picture was actually for the yearbook. That’s when we were blown away.

So who are these students? They’re the science and technology class STD2A at the Lycee Federic Mistral high school in Avignon.

In truth, there’s nothing inherently wrong with what’s going on in the picture. Some of the students who didn’t want to take off their clothes are wearing black. The students who wanted to go for it all are holding censor placecards over their “important” parts. Keep in mind that these are the same French kids who’ve been smoking cigarettes since they were 14 and drinking wine since 13. It’s Europe. I’d be surprised if at least one of these kids wasn’t at least halfway buzzed at the time this picture was taken.

To most people, the biggest question here is that the teacher (man on the right) joined in on the picture. Is that weird? Yes. There’s no question that if this happened in the United States of America (or even England) there would be a special emergency meeting held at 3 AM with all the parents yelling and complaining about getting this guy fired. But this is just typical of France being France. Despite all the bad stuff going on in the world, these students are taking off their clothes for a picture and having some fun.
