Posted on 04. Nov, 2008 by Chris.
In light of today being election day and all, I decided I would write a little post on politics. I promise to generally steer clear of this topic, but I think everyone gets a free pass today, so I am taking mine.
Last night, during halftime of the Steelers fantastic victory over the Redskins, Chris Berman [...]

Posted on 19. Oct, 2008 by Chris.
Damn those Tar Heels! Just when I started believing all of the hype and getting my hopes up, there they go and show that ugly side again.
