...honest with myself, I’m a little jealous. The housemates on “Jersey Shore” embrace the vapidity of their lifestyles wholeheartedly, as if there were no other option. I have more self-doubt in one finger than Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has in his entire body, including—lest we forget—his infamous six-pack...
...rags-to-riches figure - he was jailed twice in his youth for assault and robbery - who relies on the pro-Russian east and south of the country for support.

Because there are just 53 jobs on an active NFL roster, however, holding on to one of them requires not only supreme athleticism but also the ability to play in pain, whether it's a twisted knee, a broken finger or a bruised brain. Coaches and fans, of course, laud hard hitters. "Guys don't think about life down the road," says Harry Carson, a Hall of Fame ex-linebacker who has postconcussion symptoms like headaches. "They want the car. They want the bling. They want to have a nice...
