The Time This Kid Realized He Was Waving A Turkey Leg
The waving of the turkey leg — sure, cute, but we've all been there.

Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times.
