Bryant vs. Maclin

No. 1 is No. 1. Unless you are a Missouri Tiger fan, in which case you may say that No. 9 is No. 1. Any way you break it down, Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant (who wears No. 1) and Missouri’s Jeremy Maclin (No. 9) are two receivers with unique and game-altering ability.

Golden Parachutes

Jeff Campbell’s cartoon for October 8, 2008


It’s going…going….and almost gone

The time now is to once again impose our stances regarding political matters. Don’t worry — the election is less than a month away from being decided. Then, we’ll discuss more pressing and shallow matters, such as who gets custody of which child(ren) when Brangelina split up and whether Coke or Pepsi is better.

Politicians’ gaffes reap guffaws
