Why The Giants Targeted A Player Prone To Concussions

A source told the newspaper last night that Kelly, 34-6 in three seasons as the University of Oregon's f...
Why We Scapegoat
Because Billy Cundiff exists, Ravens fans don't have to come to terms with the fact that one of the best rushing teams ceded the turf to one of the worst.

Eli Manning's Facial Expressions Are America's Greatest Natural Resource

Steven Tyler's "Star-Spangled Banner" Was Terrible. But Was It The Worst Ever?

(His liberal lack of adherence to the actual lyrics didn't help.)...
Yes, This Is CBS Host James Brown Interviewing A Fake Baby
It took CBS all of 15 hours to do something more embarrassing than prematurely reporting Joe Paterno's death.
