Quick Hits from each game last week, while looking at what they might mean for week three: New York Jets 37 Buffalo 36 Rex Ryan will not make it to the Bye week, which 10. They will lose next week to Arizona and then lose to the 3rd string QB from New England, and then […]

In a previous article I talked about NPR’s coverage of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being on the cover of Civil War Two: Choosing Sides #5 and how it seemed more like a Marvel PR stunt then official international news.
