Look I know people wonder why would we go back to Uganda after what transpired. The first trip to Uganda, on the outside, looks like a total failure on the football front. There was so much hype so much promise. I literally felt like I was in an uplifting sports movie that was bound for a happy ending. The reality is the Ugandans actually played amazingly. It was demoralizing knowing that the full story wouldn’t come out till the video came out....

Play them both at the same time....

And it needs to end. First things first, let’s address the elephant in the room....
Everybody always talks about how the Wayne Gretzky trade to LA saved the NHL. That was during August of 1988. Just a couple weeks shy of 34 years later, there was another trade that saved hockey.

Things were pretty casual for most of the night....

Scientists can use parts of DNA or other biological elements to give existing organisms new abilities. Thats a really complicated task because DNA is basically an alien programming language. 40% off TNW Conference! Which is where Cradles web-based software comes in.

People who say never discuss politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table are clearly not fans of sad NFL teams. I’ll do my best to find a few more worthy of a short chuckle.
