Harmless fun

“Ice skating in Britain is cool — and that’s official.” That’s the lead paragraph from this Reuters story, which says skating is the new fad across the pond. Though we don’t like stories with puns in the lead (ice … cool … smack! …), we will accept the story’s premise. Hey, they gave us the delicious fish and chips at Brit’s Pub, and we gave them ice skating. It’s time to grab your skates and head to London to show off all the sweet moves you learned growing up in frozen Minnesota.

Nothing will be funny.) and answers from Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. You know, because New England is playing San Diego this weekend. (Thanks to the AOL Fanhouse for the link).
