Here’s an awkward situation for everyone involved: You get on the subway and a preacher begins yelling out the gospel message because he believes this is an effective way to make converts out of people. (He’s also very bad at reading everyone’s body language.) Most people just lower their heads or look away. Because maybe if you ignore the crazy Christian, he’ll just go away.

In 2012, Oklahoma state officials approved of a Ten Commandments monument being placed outside the capitol building. Last year, the Satanic Temple said they, too, wanted to donate a monument… a Hindu group soon followed.

Apparently, Passback brand footballs are very popular in practices because of their unique design (making them look like 75% of real footballs). The company just created a Texas edition of their ball that they hope becomes a hit with Division 1 college and big name high school teams. But I’ll admit I didn’t realize even the best practice footballs would have this sort of power: Read more
