We know, we know. There’s no way the Tappan Zee Bridge construction will be completed this year, but that sure would be nice, wouldn’t it? And imagine if toll prices didn’t skyrocket… well now we know we’re just dreaming.

The West Point Army Black Knights once dominated the college football scene, but their last winning season (when they posted a 7-6 record) was 2010, and the last time before that 1996. Come on Black Knights, we’re rooting for you!
