CrimeBeat!: Who Took My Slippers!
It's our second edition of CrimeBeat!, the Local Ace Award Winning series. It's been a relatively quiet week in terms of bad behavior by current NFL players, which is somewhat shocking given that St. Valentine's Day is often a particularly troublesome night on the domestic front.

El Contador escoje el ganador del Super Bowl
Hello! I'm Cyrill Figgis, otherwise known as El Contador. So, Ms. Archer told me (more like directed) me to write up a Super Bowl preview.

DFO Prediction Contests – Final Standings!
We have our two winners! Of course, like an idiot who has been writing "Don't forget to put your picks in!" every week, what do you think I did? Yup, I forgot to put my picks in. It wouldn't have mattered, of course, as I was too far off the pace.
A New Year’s message from Kenny Rogers
