Green Bay Press-Gazette editor Amy Bailey wrote her Oct. 1 column about an incident at a Packers viewing party she attended.

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....

Marcin Gortat Gets A Hard-Ass Mohawk, Becomes Terrifying
All in all, Marcin Gortat is a pretty good NBA center. He's big, he's strong, he's got pretty nimble feet for his size. He sets devastating screens, he's an outstanding finisher rolling to the hoop, he's generally OK at being in the right place defensively. He also happens to be a ludicrously e...
