In the New York Jets' 27-21 comeback win over the incoming 4-1 San Diego Chargers, Burress had the big breakout game the Jets, and more importantly, he himself had been waiting for. He caught three touchdown passes-two three-yarders and one four-yarder-using his 6'5, 232 pound frame to the team's advantage.

The rise of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement is the Republican Party's worst nightmare. It’s an objective data point that no amount of liberal-bashing, Obama-bashing or jingoist appeal to patriotism can blot out: The U.S. economic system of corporate capitalism might need economic and fiscal reforms.

When Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril announced Moammar Gadhafi's death Thursday, he began with the words: We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. That must have made many in Libya and in the U.S. feel very good: it never hurts to be reminded that justice exists.

Paranormal Activity 3 the third installment of the franchise started in 2007, relies on subtle movements, the power of suggestion, and a heavy dose of imagination from an anxious, but ultimately disappointed audience. Flashing back to 1988, the remainder of the story takes place as an 80s period piece. The much younger Katie and Kristi, who fulfill every scary movie's need for pale girls with long black hair, live with their mother, Julie (Lauren Bittner), and her boyfriend, Dennis (C...

Oct. 21 has come and gone in New Zealand and Australia, making Doomsday predictor Harold Camping incorrect, once again.

So today may be the end of the world, if you buy into the predictions of radio evangelist Harold Camping. That's what he's said, that the end of the whole physical world will be on Oct. 21.

Rick Santorum, a 2012 candidate for the Republican Party nomination for U.S. president, said he would eliminate federal funding for birth control if he were president, because sex should only be for procreation. Does he live in this world?

U.S. Rep. Allen West insisted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would not support the 99 percent movement only days after King's daughter said the exact opposite.

Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson is proposing a 16-team playoff that would generate more than three times the amount of money the Bowl Championship Series, according to a report

Unconventional times require unconventional measures. It is time for the American people to start a public, federal bank?

When Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi, numerous religious groups condemned the actress, and rightly so. In a bizarre and disturbing twist, however, Sarandon's notoriety has now spread to her support of Occupy Wall Street, with many grouping her comments and her activism as examples of liberal ignorance and hypocrisy. In the process, we lose the opportunity to condemn the use of rampant Nazi and Hitler comparisons in general, a widespread phenomenon recorded en ma...

Herman Cain's defense of his 9-9-9 plan is always the same: that the critics are misrepresenting his proposals. But he doesn't explain what the misrepresentations are.

Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., comparing an NBC Saturday Night Live skit to a culture of intolerance that drives gay teens to suicide is more than insensitive: it's despicable.

The 2011 World Series between the Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals has a small chance to be as exciting as last year's. Two small market teams plus bad weather isn't a great combination for getting on your giddy-up for a Fall Classic.

Herman Cain says he was just making a joke about deterring illegal immigrants from coming into America with electrocution at the border. His so-called joke, told to two crowds in Tennessee where the GOP presidential candidate was campaigning last week, went like this: It's giong to be 20 feet high, Cain said, according to The New York Times. It's going to have barbed wire at the top. It's going to be electrified. And there's going to be a sign on the other side saying, ...

So here's the dilemma in case you missed it. I was watching the GOP presidential debate from Dartmouth early this week, brought to us by Bloomberg TV and The Washington Post. Early in the debate I noticed along with many others that Ron Paul's eyebrow seemed to be falling off. In fact, it looked to me to be a fake eyebrow -- an eyebrow toupee.

Apple's release of the iOS 5 couldn't have been at a more perfect time when RIM BlackBerry is having major outage problems. And with the new iMessage feature on iOS5 RIM could take another hit.

If one is honest, we can't say for certain that senior Iranian leaders actually approved a thwarted operation to kill Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States. There is, after all, no undeniable proof. But if one is still being honest, we can't say for certain that they were not behind it.

As some economists and critics debate the merits of the Herman Cain 9-9-9 tax plan, with some saying the solution is not as simple is scrapping the tax code in favor of such a straight-line formula, many Republican voters see it differently. It's a major reason why Cain, of Atlanta, has surged to the top of at least one recent poll besting former front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

As for Cain, he has handled the slings and arrows thrust upon him with humor, charm and aplomb.

Atlanta Falcons' rookie receiver Julio Jones will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers because of a hamstring injury. Jones hasn't been the fantasy-type of player people have come to expect so far.

The Big East is in desperate times and now needs to make a desperate move: it needs to extend an invite to Boise State.

Rick Perry came in like a lion. But he's close to going out of the Republican presidential nominee race as a lamb.

The Republican debate on Bloomberg is underway at Dartmouth, and the focus is on something critical to America: The economy. But I've barely heard a word said in the first 18 minutes of the debate because I'm so concerned about Ron Paul's fake eyebrow, which is falling off.

NBA commissioner David Stern announced the canceling of the first two weeks of the season on Monday night and by doing so took another big step toward eliminating the entire basketball season.

Netflix hiked its prices and split its DVD and streaming services. One month later, the company is undoing the split and combining its services again. Can Netflix regain fan favor with Reed Hastings as CEO?

iPhone 4S, the latest iPhone that was launched on Oct. 4, a day before Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs passed away, was sold out on its very first day of pre-order (Oct. 7). Within first 24 hours, one million units were sold out, surpassing the previous single day pre-order record of 600,000 held by iPhone 4 in 2010.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has become the best quarterback in the NFL just two years in the making, overtaking New England Patriots QB Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning.

I am probably the world’s biggest Beatles fan. I have loved the group since I was a child and could probably recite the lyrics of every one of their 200-plus original songs. However, Paul is addicted to the limelight. He simply cannot get enough of it -- and I think millions of Beatles die-hards (including me) are sick and tired of it.
