Every Cold-Weather City Should Host The Super Bowl

Despite the objections of Joe Flacco, next year's Super Bowl will be played in lovely northern New Jersey. It might be windy. It might snow.

"A Women Kissing A Nerd," "Beyonce Girating Her Vagina," And Other Angry…

I avoided the pregame shows yesterday. This isn't unusual. I never watch pregame shows for the same reason YOU never watch pregame shows.
