Patriots Bills hat

Bills fan buys hat at team store with epic manifacturer error

Michael Jeter? CBS News royally screws up Derek Jeter tweet

The Indiana Pacers were able to defeat the Miami Heat in Game 5 on Wednesday night to keep their season alive. After the Heat took a commanding 3-1 series lead on Monday, many — myself included — expected them to wrap up the series. It …
