I grew up in a place where it snows a lot. I loved it when I was a kid. Things changed when I got a job.

My favorite was "Cousin" Bruce Morrow. My brothers loved listening to it and I said "I want to do that"...

Are The Saints The New ‘America’s Team’?
An NFL team based somewhere in Texas has been calling itself "America's Team" for a number of years. The validity of this claim has always been suspect in my mind. Their last Super Bowl championship was 24 seasons ago. They're widely perceived as overhyped, overpaid and underachieving. So, who is America’s team now?...
