Karma works both ways

Do the right thing and watch it spread. Kindness and generosity are contagious, Liberty Mutual would have you believe. A man picks up a child’s doll that fell on the sidewalk; the child’s mother passes the karma forward by moving someone’s coffee cup from the edge of a table; a bystander sees this and later helps a fallen […]

Manson called, wants phone back

“Hello, this is Charlie Manson. Is your refrigerator running?” It wasn’t funny the first time. Oh, and no — we don’t sell Prince Albert in a can. Take your punchline and get the hell out of here.

Brett Favre’s one ringy dingy

Since it’s “Quarterback Week” at Place it on Lucky Dan, Brett Favre has refused to be ignored, much like this story. It’s been so easy to disregard the annual pre-season retirement drama that when news broke last week of his quest for Jenn Sterger, it slipped comfortably into one ear, the surprise being how stubbornly it refused to slip […]

Michael Vick: Point/Counterpoint

Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick will most likely miss 2-4 weeks with a crack in his rib cartilage, although the team has yet to issue an official report. The injury, suffered late in the first quarter of Sunday’s loss to division-rival Washington, comes at an inopportune time for the Eagles. Vick had taken over the […]
