    Found an interesting article on football uniforms on ESPN’s Page 2. Now that the season has started — though my Chargers are playing like it’s still the preseason — it’s time to admire or be shocked at some of the new uniforms in the league. I think the new, yet…

    This article came out of left-field. Bruce Lee, worshipped by the Bosnian Croats, Serbs, and Muslims in the ethnically diverse city of Mostar, will be the town’s new symbol of unity. From the Reuters article: “We plan to erect the statue in November in the center of the city,” Veselin…
