Bills Pay $3 Million To Settle Stupid Text-Message Lawsuit
A couple years back, Bills fans signed up to receive text messages featuring news and offers from the team. The fine print said they'd receive no more than five a week. This guy Jerry Wojcik got six!

Matt Harvey Tweets Bird-Flipping Picture, Immediately Deletes Account

Three Kings: Tyson, Holyfield, And Hopkins Make Nice For <em>Champs</em>
Mike Tyson just couldn't let it go. "I beat him," he blurted out Saturday night at a Tribeca Film Festival panel, upon the mere mention of Buster Douglas, the underdog who knocked him out in Tokyo back in 1990. "They robbed me on the count. There's no doubt about it." ...

Flatizza Vs. Waffle Taco: A Fast-Food Smackdown For The Ages
Fast-food outlets are often criticized by the discount burgeratti for overstating the innovation of their "new" offerings, and for good reason.
