Picture of the Week: ESPN just got cornified
By: Melissa |I’m not entirely sure how long this little bug was up on espn.com, but for a while there if you typed in the konami code (up up down down left right left right b a enter), the website filled with unicorns and rainbows. No idea if this was an intentional ploy to drum up [...]
This makes sense
By: Melissa |The internets are a-buzzin’ with news of the WPS playoffs format. The internets are a-buzzin’ not only because the story got picked up by The New York Times Goal Blog, but also because there are a slew of WPS blogs out there just dying for you to get to know. Oh yeah, and [...]

Are we really just a nation of whiners?

I’ve heard disturbing comments from our Federal Reserve Chairman regarding this oh-no-it’s-really-not-a recession, and I’ve heard one of our presumptive Presidential candidate’s top economic advisors [...]
