    Not exactly what we're used to hearing up here in New York City, but an interesting story nonetheless.

    New Article: The Thanksgiving Turkey Hunt

    Growing up in the south, I always felt a little out of place when the topic of hunting or fishing was breached. I had caught my fair share of sunfish on my Grandfather’s dock growing up, but I never shot a gun until my sophomore year in college...

    New Article: Seminoles Sink Mercer 89-50

    When you annually sneak up on big-time teams and upset them, the surprise factor starts to wear away. Such was the case when the upset-prone Mercer Bears took on ACC power Florida State on Saturday, as the Seminoles cruised to an easy 89-50 victory...

    That's so cool. Must be a good experience.
    Yeah, I saw Mercer was down one with 30 seconds left tonight. That would have been a nice win.
    I don't feel at all confident about Manhattan after their display of basketball yesterday.

    Hey J. Andrew,
    I'd really appreciate if you could check this out.
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/288823-ball-overseas-a-new-life-for-manhattans-devon-austin
    It's a unique article about Manhattan's Devon Austin who is adjusting to his first year of pro ball in Europe and I think it speaks a lot about what these guys need to go through in order to achieve their goal of playing for a living.
    Take care,
    Ari
