In a Week 11 game against the New York Giants, Borland had two interceptions, becoming the first rookie linebacker in Niners history to pick off two passes. He was also due to make $540,000 this season, but is thinking of his long-term health over any short-term money....

The Bond films are no strangers to product placement, but this is an especially egregious example since it actually tampers with one of the character’s best-known signatures. But the people at MGM are getting their money’s worth out of Heineken – $45 million in fact. That’s enough to pay for a smaller studio movie’s entire budget! Lazenby isn’t the only one who’s upset about the change – many of the superspy’s fans are shaking their heads at the blatant prioritization of commerce over art....

Eddie Tipton was convicted of this crime in July, after which the police got a hot tip about his brother Tommy. It seems that Tommy has been very lucky, where the lottery is concerned. He hit the jackpot twice – in Colorado in 2005 and Oklahoma in 2011. The Tipton brothers may have thought they were being sly by making sure six years went by between significant lotto wins. However, it is always a red flag for authorities when one person wins a decently sized (or larger) jackpot in more than one state....
