$13 Billion Industry Uses Folded-Up Piece Of Paper To Determine Outcomes

Pau Gasol Gets A Front-Row Seat To Dennis Smith Jr.'s Giant Dunk

Chiefs End The First Half With A 57-Yard Mini Hail Mary Touchdown
Alex Smith isn’t the type to throw deep bombs, even in Hail Mary situations, but at the end of the first half today against the Cowboys, the Chiefs QB found a way around that limitation.
