There’s a straight line to be drawn from the Patriots’ signing today of David Harris, a respected veteran inside linebacker who had been unceremoniously dumped two weeks ago as part of the Jets’ roster purge.

Please Enjoy This Extremely English Politician's Awkward Campaign Ad<em></em>
I’m not quite sure what to say about this campaign ad recently released by Greg Knight, a Tory MP representing East Yorkshire.

Bill Belichick Seems Thrilled To Chat About Tom Brady's Alleged Unreported Brain Injuries

Sean Spicer, Remember When You Were Happy?
White House press secretary and noted gumboy Sean Spicer hasn’t been having a very good time. Melania (allegedly) hates him, he’s mocked mercilessly, Trump probably wants to fire him, and most recently, the devout Catholic didn’t even get to meet the Pope. But it wasn’t always this way. There was a ...
