Anyone catch the game tonight between the Boston, Massachusetts Bruins and Detroit, Michigan Red Wings? It was a good one.

I just hope AP continues to place "Florida" after obscure cities like Tampa and Orlando.

Understand a lot of big fights coming to Las Vegas, New Mexico as well.

That's where the original Red Dawn was filmed!

To listen to them speak, it's almost impossible to believe they're brothers. I think Jeff said that Ward's drawl is due to his bedroom having been on the south side of the house.

That's not all dialect. I'm pretty sure Ward also has a slight speech impediment, which makes him sound even more country.
