Chiefs fall back into being AFC West ...
Oh, no. We suck again.

PETA ruins Thanksgiving
Buttery mashed potatoes, creamy gravy, sweet pumpkin pie, fluffy stuffing and a big succulent turkey. Ah, yes, Thanksgiving dinner. But wait, if you wouldn’t eat your dog, why would you eat a turkey?
Eating a dog – that’s ludicrous, right? People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, happen to think so. In fact, PETA thinks eating a [...]
