I Hate Wednesdays
I hope JB doesn’t mind if I post a separate rant. But after such a great football/basketball combo weekend, I guess things naturally had to get worse. Of course, it happened on a Wednesday. Wednesday has always been a bad luck day for me. Nothing seems to go right, a fact that I took special […]

Cowboys Interested in Rivers?
A poster on Pack Pride shared that the NFL Channel has reported that the Dallas Cowboys may be interested in former Wolfpack All-American, Philip Rivers.
