For years the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears shared pro football’s western spoils. This year the Cleveland Rams took the play away, won eight of their first nine games, and last week clinched the championship of the National Football League’s Western Division.
Pitchers & Catchers. The one big reason for Cleveland’s upsurge is the right arm of Bob Waterfield, who in his first year of pro football established himself as a forward passer of Baugh-Luckman caliber.

Impersonating a pirate was part of his marketing plan. Born on Christmas Day, 1946, in Pascagoula, Miss., Buffett was raised in Mobile, Ala., where his father worked in the shipyard.

With the release of her new albumMidnights, Taylor Swift is poised to reclaim her weekly record-sales title from Harry Styles, who eclipsed her previous album’s sales back inJune. Records, in this case, refer to vinyl, the kind your (grand) parents used to listen to, and now, apparently, your tween-age daughters too.
Swift is likely to achieve her latest feat not just because of her immense popularity, but a clever marketing ploy that presents her albums as items to be collected as much as listened to: fans can choose among four vinyl editions of the same $29.

Why do the Suri men drink cow blood? Why do they drink cow’s blood? It is some sort of energy drink. The warriors drink it ahead of the donga or stick fighting battle because it is believed to give them strength and keeps them fit. The winner of the donga fight gets to choose any woman he wants and I guess that is enough incentive to fight to the death, the women are also happy to be chosen.
Ever since I retired from television writing at the ripe age of 38, people have asked me: “Why would you quit such a cool career?” Especially if they know I worked on popular shows like Friends, Freaks and Geeks, Desperate Housewives, and Breaking Bad.
