Remember When KISS Came to Our High School
We're coming to your town we'll help you party down! Wrong band, but life actually imitated art in 1975 when KISS went to the town of Cadillac, Michigan to play Homecoming. Its one of those bizarre feel good stories with grease paint and rock and roll. The high school football team got on a win streak by playing KISS in the locker room. So the [...]
Hockey Players Drinking? Say It Ain’t So
I'm glad the Canadian women's hockey story blew over. So what if they were smoking and drinking during their semi-private celebration. It wasn't like they did it in front of the their opponents or on the medal podium. They waited until the arena was empty and they cut loose, with cigars and champagne. Wouldn't you? All those years of [...]
Kim Kardashian Wants to Go Fast, NASCAR Fast
Well America, NASCAR just got a touch of class. OK, I can't write that with a straight face. I'll just cut to chase, Kim Kardashian has just unveiled her new car... her NASCAR car.

I don't care if these people have endorsement deals or if their mugs are flashed on ESPN 2 in primetime. Just because something is recreational [...]
The Lady Or The Tiger, A Study in Humiliation and Shame
Why is it that when a husband is caught in an act of infidelity, the wife is always the humiliated party? Tiger Woods has pretty much been busted for cheating on his wife, with what appears to be a slew of strikingly similar looking chicks. At first I admired his wife for allegedly going after his ass with his own golf clubs. I probably would [...]
Elizabeth Lambert Displays MMA Skills During Soccer Game
I wasn't aware that collegiate women's soccer was now a full contact sport. But if you watch the on-field antics of Elizabeth Lambert of the University of New Mexico, it is now. Last Thursday night, Lambert displayed moves more often seen in mixed martial arts tournaments or by NFL linebackers looking to smoke a wide receiver going [...]
