Even though Carolina Panthers coach John Fox was outed by New York Jets coach Herman Edwards as having earned the nickname of Crash in college for his hard-hitting play, he'll always be Foxy to us. Why? When asked about the team's record (currently 7-2) and what it meant…

So now it's official. TO has officially apologized. But as I read the story, I have to say that I'm still completely baffled. He reportedly said, to Donovan McNabb, "I apologize to him for any comments that may have been negative." That's pathetic. Our kids are 10 and…

We hardly knew ye. Apparently, anyway, because the Coca-Cola company has decided to phase out Vanilla Coke by the end of 2005. I'm not surprised that it's happening, only that it has taken so long for something like this to happen on a larger product line. I mean…

Apparently quicksand isn't as deadly as we have been led to believe. While we may be sucked in rather rapidly, humans are apparently not supposed to completely sink into the muck. Getting out, however, could very well be a difficult process, as the more you move the more…
