CBS The findings were forwarded to the league’s disciplinary chief for potential punishment. Brady could be fined or face a suspension that would keep him out of Week 1 — the marquee league opener at which the Super Bowl banner would traditionally be raised — or longer.

“Everything is being studied, everything is being considered,” up to and including a yearlong ban, a league source told the Herald’s Armando Salguero.

Only a few short weeks after the NFL Schedule released and Steelers Nation shrugged at the unavoidable 0-1 start, #Deflategate returns from hiding with a report centered around a lot of “probably’s” and a lot of soapboxes getting turned over crying for the end of Belichick and Brady.

Wait, so are you saying no Brady, Belichick, or Blount week 1????

And now the Steelers have 4 months to prepare for Jimmy Garoppolo!!?

Hey New England those 4 rings are cute… this week one victory is propelling the Steelers to their 7th, thanks.

After Gerrit Cole lays a nice turd on Joey Vottos chest, Joey goes nuts and reminds Gerrit he’s a hitter.

From there the umpire rings him up and sends him to the showers early. Joey Votto being the hardo he is takes off and chest bumps the umpire, Chris Conroy.

Joey just encapsulated every drunk hardo at 2 am there starting a fight over nothing. Was this guy dropped as a baby? Since when do ball player consider touching the umpire?

Barely a month into the season and the stinkin Reds already in the news twice crying about something. Bet better Cincinatti. Be better.

Tom, remind these morons there is no crying in baseball.

At first when I came across this I expected a handful of interviews at some convention with a little back and forth before some arbitrary decision. I was pleased to find out what we actually got was a real deal battle starring the real deal Green Ranger.

Ryu starts the video finishing off some scrub wondering if he will ever find a worthy opponent. Look to the sky and here comes the Green Ranger to answer the challenge.

Ryu pulls out the big guns early going to Hadouken, knocking the Green Ranger off his feet…

…but would only anger the civilian dragon and send him into morphing time.

“It was at that moment Ryu knew he fucked up”

You’re more than willing to continue reading but right here you know as well as I do that this one is game over. The Morphing – Draggon Dagger Flute – Dragon Zord combo easily trumps whatever button mashing combo the little street fighter is going to throw Green Rangers way.

We got a taste of the Dragon Dagger but the directors took an interesting turn when they chose to have Green Ranger use his “Darkness Dagger” to finish the weird looking fire throwing/zombie/vampire Ryu.

When it came down to the fan vote, with half a million votes tallied, the Green Ranger edged out Ryu 53-47.

The voters knew what was up and were likely aware at how awesome this guy is. The simple fact that Jason David Frank believe he IS THE GREEN RANGER is so perfect. Honestly it would not surprise me to find out he only has green articles of clothing and openly shames gift’s that are not a tone of green.

The guy eat, sleeps, and repeats as the Green Ranger. He has a website where you can train like the Green Ranger and makes it a point to hit up Wizard World so you too can “meet the legendary ranger.”

The Power Rangers are heating up as of late. There was the epic short film that came out a few months back as well as a new movie due out in 2017. Lets hope Hollywood doesn’t screw this up and cut the real Green Ranger out.

PS Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo.

Brian Kenny is usually throwing out next level statistical breakdowns but tonight hes coming out swinging mixing up defensive mastermind Torii Hunter with A Rod’s old beau and former WWE Divas Torrie Wilson.

Post-Gazette The perfect password would be both unpredictable and memorable, but that’s a tough combination, said Lorrie Faith Cranor, director of Carnegie Mellon University’s CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory. As a leading researcher on passwords, she’s seen thousands of them, and they’re rarely as clever as their creators imagined. How about 1qaz2wsx? Sorry, that diagonal march down the left side of the keyboard is well known to hackers, who have programs that spit out the most common passwords and test systems machine-gun style. And if the hacker wants you specifically, they’ll check your social media for, say, the names of your pets. CyLab student Blase Ur last month traveled to Seoul, South Korea, to present the lab’s most recent paper on passwords. The bottom line: “Random is best, but random is hard to remember,” so it’s important to find the right balance, Ms. Cranor said. “We’ve been looking at what are the ways that you can actually make passwords stronger without actually driving users crazy.” So what’s good? Long passwords — 12 characters or more — are much harder to predict than short ones, regardless of their composition, said Ms. Cranor. Systems increasingly demand a mixture of letters, numbers, punctuation and capitalization. That’s more secure, but can be far better if the capital letters are not at the beginning and the punctuation is not at the end, she said. If you always capitalize, say, the third letter in your passwords, that quirk can improve security while remaining memorable. CMU’s studies indicate that exclamation points are the most popular password punctuation, so anything else would probably be better.

Beyond the obvious dumb passwords — 12345678, iloveyou, pa$$w0rd — Ms. Cranor advised to avoid your mother’s maiden name, children’s names or birthdays, or other easily identifiable trivia from your well-documented life. Random words strung together would be better than common phrases. “Song lyrics?” she said. “Not such a good idea.”

Let me start off first by saying I hate passwords. The only thing I hate more than passwords are the assholes out there who are the reason we need passwords. Some of the worst days at work revolved around the ole “Your Password Expires in X Days” notification. Fortunately I have been able to one-up IT’s BS.

Yuppie Yinzer Life Hack 1:

“It needs to be 8 characters and include letters & numbers…”

Boom… pirates15

“…with at least one capital…”

Fine, Pirates15

“…and one special character…”

Alright my Twitter game is on point, #Pirates15

“…but it has to lead with a capital letter.”

Jesus already, Pirates#15

Sure the Pirates are #1 but you have to keep in mind that will only work for so many days and rather than going through the misery of changing your password to Pirates#2 (fucking Cardinals) you can just roll with Pirates#15, Pirates#16, Pirates#17….

IT at my office thought they could one-up me when they made the dozens of login’s I have expire at different intervals so at any particular moment I could have different passwords everywhere. This is where hack # 2 was born.

Yuppie Yinzer Life Hack 2

Hide a file with your passwords in plain sight on your desktop.

The real trick here is in the naming structure. Much like you named the porn on the family computer “musak” or “science experiment” a name like “Not My Password List” gives you a nice safe haven to start yourself a concise library with all your passwords quickly available for your reference. Boom, check mate IT.

Since I’m feeling nice, lets just roll this into…

Yuppie Yinzer Life Hack 3

Make the answer to every security question the same answer that you’ll never forget… for me “Jack Bauer”

Every couple of months when writers have nothing else to write about they click bait you with a reminder that passwords like “password” “123456” and “qwerty” are garbage and easy for hackers to guess. Every tech company wants you to know that these crazed lunatic hackers have all kinds of codes to figure out your rock solid passwords, but none of these sites put any importance into your security question? That’s just lazy journalism. You need to deter hackers with passwords made up of random letters you’re going to forget in 2 two minutes but you can throw them off your scent with super secret info like your mothers maiden name? Give me a freakin break.

Not only does this life hack keep the hackers guessing but also helps you remember what your answers are. Granted, your mother’s maiden name is pretty easy but what about the street your best friend grew up on. Maybe you were a social butterfly and had so many friends its difficult to remember not only who you had in mind that day but what street they lived on?

The easiest hiding spot is right under these criminal’s noses. If you go and blatantly lie no criminal is going to want to touch your deceitful accounts.

Go ahead and use all three Yuppie Yinzer life hacks and see how enjoyable your life at work can be.

Mirror Michael Thibodeau sued Air Canada after he was given a Sprite instead of a 7UP by an English speaking air hostess. Canada could soon force all airlines serving their country to have a French speaking crew member aboard – after a passenger complained he was served the ‘wrong lemonade’. French language ‘extremist’ Michael Thibodeau sued Air Canada after he was given a Sprite instead of 7Up by an English speaking stewardess.

He branded the airline’s employees as ‘malicious, oppressive and reprehensible’ for not answering his questions in French during the 2009 flight, despite the fact he’s a fluent English speaker. The legal action has now inspired Canadian MP Stephane Dion to lodge a bill in parliament demanding that all flights to and from bilingual Canada have a French speaker on board.

He said: “Being able to order 7Up in French on a plane is a fundamental right in Canada and all Canadians should be able to sue the airlines if this is not the case.” He is calling for the Official Languages Act – which ensures French and English are given equal status – to extend the rules to all international flights serving Canada. Mr Thibodeau was initially awarded $12,250 in damages in 2010, but Air Canada appealed and the ruling was overturned.

He then took his case to the Canadian Supreme Court, where judges ruled that the Official Languages Act does not allow citizens to sue for cash damages for being spoken to in the wrong language. Instead, the airline was only ordered to apologize to the couple and ensure the Languages Act was respected in future.

Mr Thibodeau had also filed a similar language complaint against Ottawa’s bus company in 2002 after a driver greeted him with ‘hello’ instead of ‘bonjour’. Canada’s National Post newspaper has described Mr Thibodeau as the linguistic equivalent of a ‘supermarket coupon clipper’. 

I’m positive you will not come across or read about a bigger bag of dicks than this asshole.  You have not only a guy who can tell the difference between lemon-lime sodas, but a guy who will openly bitch about it in public, AND sue the airline for damages, those right there are the three prongs of the devil’s pitchfork.

Anytime I order a Coke and the server tells me “we only have Pepsi” I playfully suggest I’m walking out on the establishment. It’s tongue and cheek and fun is had but all most. This guy is the worst actually taking his case to court. Pepsi and Coke are at least two different drinks, I do not know if I could differentiate between 7-Up and Sprite…

Just so we consider both side of this argument it is possible he has seen this Sprite commercial and is such a homophobe he is fearful of an epic bukake…

Oooo that’s a compelling argument, lets go to our judge….

ESPNW UCLA recruit Rachel Garcia pitched a perfect game on Saturday in the final of the Thousand Oaks softball tournament.

But her team lost. The Highland (Palmdale, California) senior tossed the game of her life — notching 23 strikeouts, including the first 18 batters she faced, and allowed just one ball to be hit in play. Due to a quirky tiebreaker rule, it somehow still wasn’t enough to earn the win against Camarillo (California).

With the game tied at zero, officials implemented the California tiebreaker for extra innings. As David Brown of CBS’ “Eye on Baseball” blog explains, “Once extra innings begin (usually the seventh or eighth), a runner is placed at second base to start every frame. That way, a team can score by bunting her over and getting her in without the benefit of a hit.”

Per the Los Angeles Daily News, Garcia tossed a wild pitch in the eighth inning with Camarillo’s Sara Stroud on second. Stroud made it to third and catcher Elyssa Bramer made the regrettable decision to throw to third base. Her toss ended up in left field and Stroud was able to cross home for the winning run.

Sheesh another black eye for women’s sports. Title IX does a lot of good and without it there wouldn’t be a pitcher out there striking out 23 batters catching the interest of casual baseball fans. 

But then with all that good the sport still requires a rule that throws a runner on second to facilitate scoring because the batters hit like girls. 

Jim Joyce’s life was ruined when he botched a call during Armando Galarraga’s near-perfect game.

Tears, apologies, death threats, this botched Perfect Game had it all. If Rachel Garcia were an MLB pitcher and missed a Perfect Game because some some BOGUS rule baseball purist would make Baltimore tonight look like childs play.

WPXI Investigators have confirmed that a woman gave birth in her car in the parking lot of Wendy’s on Browns Hill Road in Hazelwood Monday morning. A Pittsburgh paramedics ambulance was pulling away from the scene as a Channel 11 photographer arrived. People inside the Wendy’s, which was not yet open, said that when they saw the car outside, they went to check on the people in the car. When they got to the car, the woman had just given birth to a baby boy. The witnesses said that the woman told them she did not know she was pregnant. A man was driving and there were other children in the car.

Wow Yinzer of the Day material served with a frosty today. What a tragic moron to make it the entire way through the pregnancy only to finally learn shes preggers when the kid pops out. This is especially mind blowing when you consider that women look to celebrate anything and I’m sure her friends will be pissed to find out they missed an opportunity for a baby themed party.

If only she was able to get to a medical center….

Today the internet gave us the new trailer for the latest iteration of Call of Duty. Black Ops 3 is the first Treyarch production on next gen consoles and just continue the trend of merging all these games together. It looks like you get some news guns in BO3 that allow you to shoot under water if you’re into that.  It also appears the “Halo Jumping” continues into Black Ops 3 and that’s about where they lose me. 

I miss the glory days of Modern Warfare 2. I got a paying internship in college and went right out to purchase a 46″ TV and tossed MW2 into the basket because Best Buy was offering no interest finance and my roommate had nothing but good things to say about the series. 

It took some getting used to but once I knew my way around the map I was all in. Long days turned into late nights chasing more and more unique challenges and accolades. Grenade launchers worked from point black range, you could camp safely with claymores, and you seldom whiffed on a knife to the throat. 

Today while going down memory lane I came across an online petition to remaster Modern Warfare 2 for next gen systems.  I don’t know how CoD corporate would feel about this idea but I have to imagine it’s a cash cow opportunity waiting in the wings. All it needs is a fresh coat of paint to tighten up the edges and round out the curves this could be epic. 

Hell I could be happier than a pig in shit with just my favorite 5 maps. 

  
5. Highrise There were a lot of opportunities to hide around corners and gun down the runners on this map. If you had a claymore there was a great roof to take cover on and let you see most of the map. Just make sure you honker down after the adjacent oil tank explodes. 

  
4. Favela Fun to say and fun to play this Brazillian city had multiple levels and long times to shoot through. A recurring theme, there were plenty of awesome rooms to one claymore protected entrance to hole up in a lay some lead. 

  
3. Afghan One of my two favorites to run around with our clan TIT$ using strength in numbers to overcome other groups also rolling in packs. My favorite to launch grenades across the map, I also achieved an all time great moment where my falling care package landed on an opponent for the final kill and was featured in the kill cam.

2. Sub Base I absolutely loved the upstairs of one of these building. Again under the protection of a claymore I could sit in the window and drop bombs on idiots rolling around the corner. The real payoff was sensing some heat from my twelve o’clock and taking out an enemy who thought they were about to get one up on me. 

1. Estate Ahh the estate. I still have sweet dreams about the evolution of playing this map with TIT$. After initially achieving a great deal of success utterly dominating the house itself we made a strategic change months into the game to reposition to a lower point. With myself in the weeds and my partner in the garage we were seldom both taken out and happily expirienced long rounds of success and multiple kill streaks. 

It’s only a fan boys dream but hopefully one day we get a remastered Modern Warfare 2. If you’ve thrown this in lately you’ve seen its in ruin with hackers modding the shit out of the game and sucking its heart out through a straw. I popped on last years CoD for PS4 but played only a few days worth before losing interest, I doubt we’ll move on Black Ops 3.

WSJ The McDonald’s earnings report on Tuesday gave a hint at how the fast-food chain really plans to respond to its wage and profit pressure—automate. As many contributors to these pages have warned, forcing businesses to pay people out of proportion to the profits they generate will provide those businesses with a greater incentive to replace employees with machines. By the third quarter of next year, McDonald’s plans to introduce new technology in some markets “to make it easier for customers to order and pay for food digitally and to give people the ability to customize their orders,” reports the Journal. Mr. Thompson, the CEO, said Tuesday that customers “want to personalize their meals” and “to enjoy eating in a contemporary, inviting atmosphere. And they want choices in how they order, choices in what they order and how they’re served.” That is no doubt true, but it’s also a convenient way for Mr. Thompson to justify a reduction in the chain’s global workforce. It’s also a way to send a message to franchisees about the best way to reduce their costs amid slow sales growth. In any event, consumers better get used to the idea of ordering their Big Macs on a touchscreen.

Last week McDonalds workers across the country protested for a raise to $15 an hour. I called them borderline lunatics even suggesting that they deserved anywhere close to the $30k annually that would earn them. In my mind there is a clear seperation between the limited effort that goes into qualifying for and working a McDonald’s job. People roll out of college with a degree and struggle to find that kind of compensation.

Colin Cowherd always says “resent money you will never make it, resent success and you will never achieve it.” I have no problem with a McDonalds worker stealing $15 an hour. I knew the ramification of such a payroll hike and feared for the life of the Dollar Menu. Yesterday’s earning’s report however reminded me the power of big business when they casually floated out the notion that the methheads behind the counter were completely replaceable but some IBM’s that could swipe your credit card.
