When we sit and watch a basketball game, we are always yelling at our team for every screw up they throw our way.

All burgers are most definitely not created equal.

Buffalo wings are a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm sure I'm not alone. Many of you know exactly what I mean. There isn't self-help strong enough to get you away from these babies.

You know good and well that it's not health food you're eating. That they're deep fried, and covered in a buttery, cayenne pepper sauce. And if that wasn't enough, you have the absolute nerve to dip every last wing in enough blue cheese dressing to drain a bottle dry.
