It’s no hidden fact that I am a huge dork. We all have a nerdy side, some bigger than others, some hide it, some flaunt it, and for some it isn’t just one side. I make my nerdiness quite evident to all who choose to look, however in order to artificially inflate my self esteem, I came up with the term ‘cool nerd’ to define my nerdosity.

PHOENIX, AZ - The Vince Lombardi Trophy has been the target much criticism recently in regards to it’s lean stature. Fans are rallying that the award for winning the biggest single sporting event of the year should be equally the biggest award of the year.
The Vince Lombardi Trophy however has fought back, claiming that size is not an issue. The trophy went on record saying “It’s not about the size of the trophy, but instead how you hoist it.”
