Well, I can only think of one way to say it: this weekend’s sports have sucked.
First, of course, was the USA basketball team’s debacle at the world championships which I’ve already mentioned. Sorry, but we just shouldn’t be losing to Greece. I’ve already heard (and not surprisingly) people wanting to blame it on Krzyzewski. We [...]

The state of Arkansas woke up this morning and was stunned to hear of the passing of Paul Eells last night in an auto accident. The accident involved two cars, and the driver of the other car was killed as well.
