Tim Tebow Got What He Needed
Tim Tebow threw and hit some baseballs in front of 40 MLB scouts yesterday, and didn’t seem to impress too many of them.

The True Story Of The Fall Of Rome Is A Hell Of Lot Better Than The Hollywood Version
If you were ever forced to sit through a high school or college history class, you probably heard the story of the fall of the Roman Empire.

But that’s just the plot of Mr. ...
Clinton Courts Crucial Boring Whites Demographic With Kaine VP Nom<em></em>
Sure, history says this is what was expected. The Democrats have given us Joe Biden, better known for his flubs than his actual oratory execution; Al Gore, whose “look at how hard I am acting like I am hot for my wife” kiss is impossible to forget; and Walter Mondale, whose face I cannot picture at ...

Tim Duncan Was Big Fun
The first time I ever watched Tim Duncan play basketball, I had no idea who he was. I’d tuned in to an ACC telecast expecting to be paying attention to Randolph Childress and Scooter Banks for Wake Forest, but possession after possession this tall freshman kept materializing right in the middle of t...
