              Mets pitcher Dickey has pitched his entire career without the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, a ligament that is both heavily relied on and often torn by pitchers.

                      DALLAS—Greyhound passengers accustomed to complimentary vomiting in the aisles will now be charged a $15 fee to do so, company representatives announced Monday. "In order to better serve our customers in the future, we have instituted a small surcharge for those needing to empty their stomach down the center walkway," said spokesman Don Randall, adding that once riders wipe themselves off, they can pay with any major debit or CC. "We recommend passengers wishing to avoid paying the fee puke on one of the chairs in the terminal beforehand." Despite the new changes, Randall assured customers that masturbating under a bulky winter coat would always be free

                            The "Steagles" is the popular nickname for the team created by the temporary merger of two National Football League (NFL) teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles, during the 1943 season. The teams were forced to merge because both had lost many players to military service due to World War II.
