Figures that a green gatorade lover like Albert would think Chicago style pizza is better than New York style, let alone better than any other regional food item, a claim so absurd I can scarcely believe I have read it at all.

Republicans and Junior Seau agree: out of control deficits require self-imposed shutdowns.

First time I got Colombia, US, Ghana, France. Second time I got Uruguay, US, Cameroon, Bosnia. Here's hoping!

Welcome to English football!

He's been catastrophically bad this year, obviously, but anyone who says they weren't "sold" on Eli after the last few seasons is only fooling themselves.
