It’s mid-December, you know what that means: it means it’s nearly the end of fantasy football. How is your team doing this year? I can tell you, my teams are getting their overpaid asses handed to them this year, and I’m in two different leagues.

Angry students in London held a protest against higher college tuition outside the British Houses of Parliament. The protest turned into a riot after the news spread that the House of Commons narrowly passed the measure.

What will the ball look like? Orange. See what I did there? I took the high road.
