Al Gore, now you probably realize why you weren’t President for the 8 prior years. His name is Joe Lieberman. The man who is getting too much credit for stopping health care reform, but a cancer on the Congress of the United States nonetheless.

He was just a benefit of good talent around his team. And his philosophy was from an era that the NFL has long since passed by. He never was capable of turning around a failing franchise. More »
