Alpha males, alpha problems

Spring Break at Georgetown always conjures up demons, and the most recent “week of vice” was certainly no exception.

The Sports Sermon

We at the Sermon are huge fans of sports malcontents because they provide hilarious fodder for us on a weekly basis. It gets even better when sports fans contribute equally to the stupidity that we enjoy lampooning. For us, it doesn’t get much better than this past week.

I’m majoring in baggy shorts

First, let’s offer our kudos to the Maryland Terrapins on their first national championship.

Congratulations, you earned it. Hope you enjoyed your riots. They looked fun.
