How?

Joe still can’t believe it even after being there to witness it. [read more]

“No Country For Old Men.” was playing on movie screens and the Bucs proved that a year later with a veteran purge that included Derrick Brooks.

Alicia Keys topped the charts with “No One,” while Legally Blonde debuted on Broadway.
