St. Joseph’s took down Cincinnati 78-76 after the Bearcats had a game-tying dunk wiped out at the end of regulation.

Few outside the Bay Area would make the case that E-40 is the best rapper alive, but I submit to you now that he is the most rapper alive.

Cliff "Uncle Spliffy" Robinson Is Opening A Weed Store In Portland
Oregon recently legalized weed, and the first stores catering to recreational users opened last October. You have to be 21 or older to buy, and they’re a tad restrictive on how much you can buy at one time, but it’s a rather relaxed experience. In Portland, you can get a pre-roll of decent quantity ...
