Ya, I know it's pointless to put one of these things out prior to Free Agency, but it's just so damn fun. I will of course release at post free agency draft as well and I'm sure it won't look anything like this one. Basically what I'm trying to say is that reading this mock [...] Related posts:

Jimm — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:22:03 +0000

Candy is something innocent from our childhood. When we think back upon candy makers, many of us have the image of Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp playing the role of Willie Wonka, the magical factory owner who saved the Oompa-Loompas.

Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries governments have used lies to get their people to enter into war.

American Military Heroes Lost In 2011

Jimm — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:51:05 +0000

While the war with Iraq came to a close, the chapter on these men’s lives also ended. They were the men of World War Two and even World War One. These men were amongst the young men who answered America’s call in a much more innocent time and it is important that we do not forget them. They come from many different branches of the service and were part of some of the greatest battles of the wars. One of them is a Congressional Medal of Honor winner and one of them should be. You've seen their lives immortalized in film and can read about them in books. Here is a tribute to those heroes of the 20th century. Related posts:
