So Tom Brady impregnates his girlfriend, then dumps her before because she wants to get married.

And now Peyton Manning is restructuring his contract to save the Colts money.

Nothing is right in the world.

Jenny the donkey coaxed from the woods

This story, if read symbolically, really strikes at the heart of the existential angst I’m experiencing today. I want to go the woods, just like Jenny the Donkey. And damn the “horse whisperers” who want to lure me into a snow cave (cubicle).

Knicks center, brother of Bowdoin graduate elected to New York City Council

Lost is the buzz surrounding Britney’s downfall, Denmark’s withdrawal from Iraq and Anna Nicole’s burial is the fact that former Knicks great Patrick Ewing has been elected to the New York City Council. And, it appears that a brother of a Bowdoin […]

It’s almost tournament time and I guess I’ll have to rework my preliminary bracket (I start filling mine out in July every year after speaking by phone with Mel Kiper Jr.) now that a Gonzaga player is being charged with felony drug possession after being caught with 33 grams of mushrooms.

The recent rhetoric on Iran is truly terrifying. President Bush said yesterday that he is “certain” Iran is providing weapons to Shiite militiamen and that these weapons have killed Americans.

The Iran stories are trickling out, but taken together are beginning to sound like a drumbeat. I just don’t know what they hell we’re going to […]

Fascinating article in this week’s New Yorker about the creator of “24″ and his views on torture
