Fans of primetime programming tuning in to the latest episodes of shows like “24,” “The Office,” and “Family Guy” may be alarmed to find that the networks are playing reruns. Insomniacs may just start counting sheep when they discover that the opening monologues of Jay Leno and David Letterman seem dated. And what’s this? Dennis Kucinich is on “The Colbert Report” again?

This game, held in Springfield, Massachusetts, prior to the construction of Harvard Stadium, resulted in more than one casualty. Dubbed “The Springfield Massacre,” the game resulted in a broken leg, a broken collarbone and...a possible death. Don’t worry: it was just a brain contusion. After this bloody battle, the Game was suspended for a couple years. And we thought losing our Party Grants was bad. Hopefully there won’t be quite as many...
