STALKER ALERT: A pack of Jags and maybe a ‘stache

By | April 26, 2012

It’s NFL draft day. As a celebrity stalker, I couldn’t care less about the actual draft and who goes where. What I do care about, however, is where the actual Jaguars players (who are, at the very, least J-list celebs) are going to be.

By | March 16, 2012

By | March 11, 2012

The 35th annual Gate River Run took place yesterday morning with more than 16,000 competing for the $12,000 top prize.
