  • US Military's Twitter, YouTube Accounts Hacked by ISIS

    The United States is united with France in the notion that we will not walk in fear, but that does not mean the Muslim extremist groups are not going to do their best to generate that kind of reaction. On Monday afternoon, Jan. 12, individuals claiming to be part of the Islamic State — or ISIS — claimed responsibility immediately for hacking into the U.S. military's Central Command Twitter and YouTube accounts."ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base," read a message posted to CENTCOM's account by the hackers. "With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now."Other tweets sent out from CENTCOM's account included contact information for some of the U.S.'s most high-ranking officials. That would seem to indicate that this group has indeed infiltrated far more than just a few social media accounts.

  • Dallas Cowboys Lose NFL Playoff Game After Controversial Ruling: Twitter Goes Insane

    NFL fans got a huge batch of poetic justice served right before their eyes Sunday afternoon, Jan. 11, when the Dallas Cowboys fell to the Green Bay Packers 26-21. As usual, it was not the fact that they lost, but how they lost that will live on in football lore.Important context: The Cowboys reached Sunday's divisional-round game after defeating the Detroit Lions in Dallas Jan. 4. That contest was marred by a bit of officiating that was unprecedented and controversial. We will skip the X's and O's, but the 'Boys essentially lucked out big time en route to earning a win in the final minutes of the game.On Sunday, Dallas seemed poised to carve out another late win when quarterback Tony Romo completed a deep pass to star wideout Dez Bryant on 4th-and-2. Bryant leapt over Green Bay's Sam Shields to make a spectacular catch before crashing to the ground.The referees ruled Bryant had completed the catch and was down at the 1-yard-line, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy challenged the ruling, and the officials decided to overturn the call and give the ball to the Packers, who promptly marched down the field and ran the clock out to advance to next weekend's NFC Championship Game in Seattle.Did the refs make the right call? Yes, but the rule is a bit dumb. Bryant failed to maintain possession of the football as he hit the ground, with the ball coming loose from his left arm as he reached for the goal line. To the naked eye, the play was a no-doubt legal catch, but the rulebook was clear: Because Bryant was falling while attempting to make the reception, he needed to hold onto the ball all the way to the ground.

  • J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League Defend Bill Cosby in Series of Tweets

    It seems like every day a new sexual allegation arises against Bill Cosby. He lost his potential Netflix special and NBC decided to drop his new series. There are few people in his corner and understandably so when multiple women are accusing Cosby of rape. It appears he just got the production trio J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League on his side in a series of now-deleted tweets that, among many things, said: Cosby was one of the "top 10 black people" in earth's history.Continuing that train of thought, someone on the account claims "He gets a pass" and one of Cosby's alleged victims Janice Dickinson, via "CBS News," "isn't even top 10 in any category."The production trio reminds Twitter that Cosby has not been convicted yet and he has only been ostracized in the court of public opinion:"Might I remind you, there's never been a conviction of Bill Cosby. Only a Twitter conviction"Making sure to have their moral bases covered when defending an alleged rapist, the trio distanced themselves from the act itself: "We don't condone rape, but we also don't condone accusing an innocent American of rape with no conviction."

  • Garth Brooks Facebook, Twitter: Singer Says He Personally Handles Social Media Posts

    Garth Brooks is now on Facebook and Twitter. In fact, he is showing a real enthusiasm for the whole social media thing, but he had good reasons for staying off the sites for several years."Well, up till August of this year, you've gotta remember, I was in my children's life," Brooks told the "Sean & Richie Show," via The Boot. "That was everything. And, no offense, I didn't feel it was right to share that."Things have changed, though."Pretty cool now, though: The kids are all gone, we're out on tour and people want to know about that?" he said. "Heck, yeah, I can talk about that all day long."Brooks said he is personally handling his own social media posts, marked "Love, g" at the bottom. "Team Garth" is still posting regularly on both sites.

  • Kristian Alfonso Throws a Bit of Shade at the Notion of Peter Reckell Returning to 'Days of Our Lives'

    Way back in the 1980s, soap operas were filled with supercouples, with one of the biggest being "Days of our Lives's" Bo and Hope Brady, played by Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso. The two quickly garnered a huge fan base that, even to this day, still rallies for them to reunite. Reckell and Alfonso returned to "Days" in the '90s and had an intertwined storyline until his character was sent packing a few years ago.Reckell has said he understood that his departure was basically making room for younger leading men and that it goes with the territory. But he has never agreed with how his character left town and believes the fans deserved better than what they got.In October, a series of tweets by Reckell led fans to think there was the possibility of him returning to "Days." He later admitted that he did make some calls to producers because he believed there was a logical reason to bring him back onto the canvas. In a recent interview, Alfonso could not have agreed any less and thought that bringing the character of Bo back just to allow Hope to move on was ridiculous.
