Greetings one and all! You are reading Life, Love...Sport (Illegal Substances Edition). We have a lot to cover this week, from Kenny Rogers to Shawn Merriman and everything in between. Will I throw in a bit of hockey perhaps? You just never know what I am capable of (if you got a bit anxious, the […]

Male chauvinism has a secret source: it's women
