Tanking: the only word that gets thrown around more than the football every NFL season. But what exactly is it, and why is it a horrible idea, especially for this year's upcoming draft?

Oreos. We all know them: those beautiful little chocolate-and-cream sandwich cookies, eaten in a multitude of ways—including dipped in batter and deep-fried; milkboarded like they were extraordinarily rendered by the CIA; crushed to bits and put on some other dessert; and, of course, taken apart so their filling can be scooped out of them with various implements. You know, now that I say that...

When the Beatles came out with a new song on November 2nd, I, like many others, was pretty hyped, as I have always been a fan of the band and their work. Others, however, were understandably confused: How could a song come out from a band that broke up nearly 50 years ago and has only two living members?
