Ding Dong…

The Witch is Dead!

This wont get near as much play as the firing of Ty Willingham. Hell, it wont get near as much play as the firing of Bob Davie, but to Notre Dame, the evacuation of the position of athletic director by Kevin White is a far more momentous event than either of [...]

Charlie Visits the Troops

While DickRod is busy trying to weasel his way out of a $4M “mistake” and Pete tries to pretend like he didn’t know about Bush’s parents’ house and Urban makes the Devil too warm, Charlie is visiting the troops.
