Politically Incorrect Hockey Jersey Design Champion
The Hockey News had a contest and found that the best design of ALL hockey jerseys is the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux. That’s right. They put it against the big boys in the NHL and still came out on top. I guess their readers don’t understand that “Fighting Sioux” is offensive.

68% of the members of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe that voted approve of the Fighting Sioux nickname. Finally, some common sense: Ask the victims! So far, many people seem to be quick to speak for the tribal members. Maybe more should let them speak for themselves.

However, if the tribes themselves (not the leaders, the actual members) decide that it is offensive, I say we get rid of the name.

Why Geeks Were Excited About The Super Bowl
Ok, Im not what you would call your typical geek I like sports. I love basketball, but I did enjoy yesterdays super bowl. It was a chance for me and the boys to sit down and cringe at the hard hits and give our arm-chair quarterback advice on what the professionals should have done.
However, nothing made any of us more excited than the following commercials:
