North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper Is In A Bit Of A Pickle

Report: Jerry Jones Wants Secret Ballot Vote But Everyone Wants Him To Shut Up And Stop

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Japanese Game Show's Slippery Stairs
Humankind is mortal. We are born, we flop around and make noise for a while, and then, inevitably, we die. That is perhaps the lesson that the diabolical makers of slippery stairs were trying to teach to their audience. I realize that asking someone to watch a nine-minute video is demanding a lot, b...

Hosting these kinds of shows sometimes looks, to...
Giants Find Yet Another Way To Fail
Perhaps tired of seeing Eli Manning’s leadership of the New York offense come up dreadfully short, Giants coach Ben McAdoo called a toss for running back Shane Vereen and hoped he could give the team a lead with a tricky pass play.

Here's Video Of A Seemingly Drunk-Off-His-Ass Jerry Jones Making A Bad Joke
Something called The Blast has acquired an old video that shows Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a groan-worthy joke to a fan who had stopped him at a Dallas hotel and asked the nutty old coot—whose beet-red face and unsteady speech suggest things about his level of inebriation—to wish his new wife ...

Jerry Jones, NFL Owners Continue Vaguely Flexing Their Muscles At Each Other
