Does Crime Pay?

No comments

I spend most loyalties following the Bulldogs of Georgia, and the Longhorns of Texas.

Georgia is the 2005 Outback Bowl Champion, with a hard fought [...]

Happy New Year one and all! Welcome to 2005 – the year of the gamer! Any resolutions for this gamer? Heck no! I have always thought New Year resolutions were a wee bit silly. I mean, why make them in the first place? If you need to loose 10 pounds, why wait until January 1st [...]
