I’ve got a ton of stuff to do today and absolutely no time to procrastinate on it as my weekend is too packed to finish anything that I don’t get done today. Hopefully you’re in a better sitchy though, and can procrastinate on the below: 1. As it turns out, your brain is like the [...]

Nate Barlow broke down the SuperBowl for us in an easy-to-understand, intelligent, non-partisan way yesterday. However, seeing all the readers pledging themselves to the Cardinals, I feel I must speak up and take this conversation to a higher-level.
