Chief-On-Chief Violence At The Pro Bowl
The only remotely noteworthy thing to happen during yesterday's Pro Bowl was Derrick Johnson laying a solid hit on Chiefs teammate Jamaal Charles.

A few years ago my wife and I were introduced to L'Artusi, an Italian place down on West 10th street in the Village.

Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
There are so many ways Anthony Davis can humiliate a man. Usually, he does it by extending those stupid-long arms across every inch of airspace over the basketball court, sending away any shot his opponents are foolish enough to send in his direction.
