Enjoy. Without a doubt, the biggest story this Super Bowl involves Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith, the first two African-American [...]
It’s a fact of life on any major college campus to deal daily with confrontational evangelists. When I was in school, it was Brother Jed who stood on an Athens streetcorner, cursing all those who walked by and did not “repent.” If you’ve never had a run-in with a campus evangelist, here’s a sample of what [...]
