My laptop only has 1.5hrs of battery left and I suspect I'll need to get the cord before this game is over.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Great story. I really hope he shines this week. I'd love for him to be a permanent replacement for Arnold. We could do without Arnold's constant holding penalties in key moments.

But why is holding the head of a giant bunny rabbit?

It's bonkers, but I am sure it's true. The same thing happened in the hunt for Arabic men in 2004 in DC. Authorities stopped a massive pickup soccer game in Malcom X Park and lined folks up by skin tone and hauled off the folks in the middle.
