The Kick No Good: The Treatment of Vikings K Blair Walsh Disgusting

Inexcusable. Awful. Pathetic. All appropriate ways to describe the culmination of the Minnesota Vikings season. But, we’re not talking about Blair Walsh missing a short field goal that would’ve won the Vikes’ NFC Wild Card round playoff game as time expired. Instead it’s the treatment Walsh received after his attempt sailed wide left that was downright disgusting.

Sarah Palin Cleans Obama’s Clock on Muslim Teen’s Sketchy Device

Count Sarah Palin among the sane who clearly doesn’t think a clock or school supplies should look like an explosive device. “Yep, believing that’s a clock in a school pencil box is like believing Barack Obama is ruling over the most transparent administration in history,” Palin wrote. “Right. That’s a clock, and I’m the Queen of England.”

Team Named After Thomas Jefferson a Perfect Fit for Storied League

There’s a TV commercial currently running for MLB featuring Baltimore Orioles slugger Adam Jones. In it, the narrator says of Jones “When he’s not playing baseball, he’s watching baseball. When he’s not watching baseball, he’s reading about baseball. When he’s not reading about baseball, he’s listening to baseball.

Shocking Coverage Of Sarah Palin After Trump Comments

After Trump’s appearance on The Palin Update with Kevin Scholla on Mama Grizzly Radio, all of the lightweights entered the ring as expected.

Bristol Palin Owes No Apology, Internet Trolls Do

Drug addict celebrities who fall off the wagon again and again are praised. A woman becomes pregnant, chooses life, and gets attacked. This is the upside down world we are living in.
