When James Dean was killed in a high-speed car accident on Sept. 30, 1955 at the age of 24, the actor became a symbol for a forgotten generation of youth living through the marked cultural shift of post-war America.

Yankee Pride

It’s that time of the year again everybody. No, not football season?playoff baseball time. If you can’t get into this year’s playoffs, then I’m sorry ‘cause you just ain’t a true baseball fan.

A man for all seasons

I am a great man. I’m also really good looking. Fabulous, even. I have a variety of sports jerseys and a diverse music collection. I probably know more about basketball than you, and your favorite band definitely sucks as long as Rolling Stone says so. My eyebrows are quite defined, and I’ve been complimented on them a lot.
