Lynn Quale — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:34:14 +0000

Who knew Sammy Hagar could cook well enough to land himself on the Food Network? Not me, that's for sure. It's no secret Sammy can make a mean tequila, and his rum is just as good.

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:53:46 +0000

What’s the Super Bowl about, really? Unless you’re a supporter of one of the two teams participating (or have a very large wager on the game) even serious sports fans can get caught up in all the chili-baking, party-attending, big-screen-TV-buying hoopla surrounding this unofficial national holiday.

So that’s why this photo of a skillfully assembled cold cut football stadium probably says more about the Super Bowl and what it has become than any monosyllabic answer the media is going to finally coax out of Patriot coach Bill Belichick this week.
