Unlike the Skins, however, the Eagles haven’t shown the same success the Skins backs have shown. Their main back has been … Read more
1. Easy as 1-2-3 Meet Tom White, he’s an official in the National Football League. White was once asked what number he would prefer on the back of his zebra shirt. He said, “Uhm, er, dezerskie, I guess…. One?” Before the inquisitor could say ‘OK,’ White continued… Two? The curious person responded, ‘OK then Twelve … Read more
It was once said that the only thing a person HAS to do is die and pay taxes. In the sports world there is a far worse third option: the sun will set on your career. For some this may be worse than dying, and we have seen others who have chosen to fight the … Read more
Greetings, Shaolin Redskins fans! On my little mountainside farm, the breeze is blowing cooler though the sun’s rays remain warm. Soon the leaves will begin to change.
