A college football kicker could get the boot from his team — for being a YouTube video star.

NCAA officials say University of Central Florida’s Donald De La Haye will have to choose between playing football and making money from his YouTube channel, which has 53,000 followers.

That’s one giant pizza, no matter how you slice it.

Two-dozen pizza makers teamed up on Sunday at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., to bake a 1.3-mile-long pie, breaking the world record of 1.15 miles. The pizza, cooked in 3¹/2 hours, was cut up, boxed and delivered to homeless shelters.

With proms, graduation­s and Father’s Day celebratio­ns in full force, the power company of Southern California is taking the unusual step of asking Angelenos to stop using metallic balloons for their celebratio­ns.

A San Francisco billboard was a sign of the times — just not these times.

An ad for Motor Trend’s Car of the Year, a 1989 Ford Thunderbir­d, was exposed recently after several layers of ads were stripped from the billboard on US 101.

“Ghost sign?” tweeted a passer-by.

A small plane crashed in Scotland when the pilot’s GPS directed him to land at an airstrip that didn’t exist, a report found over the weekend.

No one on board, including a US-licensed pilot, was injured in the June 23, 2016 accident, according to Britain’s Accidents Investigat­ion Branch.
