Fortunately the president has impeachment insurance. It's called Joe Biden. • New England Patriots former star Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to murder last Friday in Boston. The league had fifty-six off-season arrests Last month a rapper with Taylor Gang stabbed an NFL player, and he was charged with impersonating an NFL player.
