This year, along with my Dolphins, I will be keeping tabs on "The Bears." Just drafted to this team, the 300 pound vegan, David Carter. Apparently, after watching the documentary Forks Over Knives, with his wife (an animal activist) he realized that the nutritional information he had been given by every sports nutritionist, coach, trainer and doctor, was actually killing … [Read more...] about “The Bears”

Beyonce was gorgeous and wonderful but … [Read more...] about And the Winners Are….
