QTNA: Would you have given Tom Brady his 600th touchdown ball back?
As human beings trying to do good on Earth, life should not always be about money. We should be more concerned with how we treat others, and once we leave this place, when others are asked about us, they should be able to genuinely say that we were good instead of simply offering platitudes.

NHLers are returning to the Olympics... let’s build some rosters

Only reason to sit down with O.J. is to hear him say ‘I did it’
