Anybody else having a Halloween party at the office today? Because we are. And while I have refused invitations to dress up seeing as I'm in my mid-late 20s and trying to make a career for myself, I know somebody is going to try and draw blood on me or something.

America has lawsuits that don't make sense? Oh, neve rmind my previous thoughts.
Ole Miss suspends Marshall Henderson for 3 regular season games | SBNation.com
Don't you love it when a team takes a stand and suspends their star player indefinitely? And then, when games are about to begin, they change that to a minimal suspension? That's my favorite part.
Mike Francesa narrates 1862 | YouTube (KFCradio)
For any of the NYC/NJ crowd on here (or anyone that knows Mike Francesa is), this is a must watch. I spent the entire clip laughing out loud, with people staring at me in the office. "Ah you a slave? Ah you a slave? Then how do YOU know they want to be free?"
