This Demented Letter About A Packers Party Is In Comic Sans, Of Course
Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended.

Orioles Win Game 2 By Thiiiiis Much

Thursday Games Not Shitty, Says NFL After Another Shitty Thursday Game
So, that was gross. Vikings-Packers finished with a score of a million to a little, or somewhere in that range. (I have to look it up. I didn't watch, because I don't hate myself.) And yet, it wasn't close to the biggest blowout nor the worst game on the Thursday night slate so far....
Chart: Which NCAA Football Teams Outplay Their Recruit Rankings?
When college football teams fail to meet expectations, fans tend to turn to an old stand-by: Our coach is an all right recruiter, but he just can't coach. This is the narrative behind, for example, Will Muschamp's downturn at Florida. On the other hand, coaches who significantly exceed expectati...

The Math Behind McDonald's Monopoly

Houston Lost To UCF On A Heartbreaking Play At The Goal Line
