Baseball playoffs are happening, football is in full swing, north and south of the border, and the NHL season is starting up with the Oilers looking to continue with their aggressive 28 year rebuild strategy. Despite all this […]

Nick (Totally Not Bitter) Todd (2L) My fellow students, we have been cheated, bamboozled and hoodwinked by our so-called “champions†the nefarious crew of swindlers known as Show Us Your Bunt. While some have attributed their victory to the fact that they are superior athletes, the wool is not so easily pulled over my eyes. […]

Christina Roth (2L) Fantasy Football is a fun way to compete against friends and a “valid†excuse to ignore homework on Thursday nights, Sundays, and Monday evenings because you “have†to watch the games.

While the Republicans have been getting most of the attention due to a large field and the constant antics of Donald Trump, the Democratic race is becoming quite interesting in its own rights. Hilary Clinton, seen as […]

Has the great Don, the God-King himself, and the foremost self proclaimed billion-dollar man flown too close to the sun during his tenure as “America’s most-wanted intervieweeâ€? I, of course, refer to the leading Republican presidential nominee of the United States, Donald Trump. The Republican frontrunner shot out of the gates in this presidential race, […]

Stefan Delblanc (2L) For those who were unaware, Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks was accused of sexual assault early in August. Details have remained somewhat sketchy as the District Attorney continues its investigation and the media circus covering the story have circulated unsubstantiated claims. A couple of weeks ago I agreed to […]
Hailee Barber 2L The Ashley Madison hack concluded this summer with a very public relationship massacre at the hands of the internet and a few million cheating spouses. Â Romantic, no? Â As I watched it unfold I wondered how social media and technology have changed the way we date. Of course, my questions were […]
