The story of the day out of the Premier League comes from Manchester where the mighty Red Devils took over the top spot on the table with a 4-0 dismantling of Wigan Athletic.

Raise Your Hands If You're the Boom King
One night, two games, and two walk off hits. Frankly I think we deserved this, these playoff games are longer than Drew's Jambaroo.

Competitive Eating Anyone Can Love
As we've gotten older, we've attempted to eat a little healthier; we're turning 32 next week, and the body doesn't quite bounce back the way it used to. But we remain a sucker for the corndog. It's a hot dog dipped in lard; what's not to like? (In Mattoon, we call them "pronto pups," by the way. It'...
