Hide the Children

And just because this post will make October the most “fruitful” month in this blog’s history… Those crazy t-shirt wearing Israelis are at it again. Oy vey. Is Pepsi pushing for their own or just laughing their heads off?

Intro to American Football

Before the new Israeli Football League kicks off this year, let’s get a few things straight.
