Charlie White Is An Ice-Devouring Sex Tornado
Charlie White is just your typical kid from Michigan. By the time he was a teenager, he realized that ice hockey just wasn't for him — even though he had led his club team, the Detroit Wolverines, to a state title. No, he wanted to be much more creative on the ice. He wanted to dance....

Giants Running Back Once Couldn't Even Outrun The Five-Oh
One of the nice aspects of the Super Bowl is that, with the media clusterphooey descending on the game, smaller stories that people might not know about lesser-known players.

They've announced the villain in the next Batman movie, and this one's the most insidious of all.

If You Don't Cook Brats, The Terrorists Win
As mentioned, we're heading to Glendale for the Super Bowl this year — yes, yes, book promotion — and we were looking forward to walking around some of the tailgates beforehand on Super Sunday. But we'd forgotten: They don't allow tailgates at the Super Bowl. A travesty, and now some people are tryi...
At Least One Super Bowl Ad Won't Be Funny
I've just been wired an announcement from the Department of Stuff We Already Friggin' Learned In Third Grade: drugs are bad for you and they're illegal. Did you know they're illegal?

Please Don't Call The New Sonics Owners Bad Names
When you are a stranger who comes into a new town, walks up to the mayor, slaps him in the mouth, hoist his wife over your shoulder and stroll out of town (kicking a couple dogs on the way out), it's safe to say a few of the local words will have some choice words to say about you.
