Three of the players described a coach who doled out thousands of dollars to Redskins defenders who [...]

    Why Dems have a problem with young voters

    Rick Perlstein for Rolling Stone: I have a young friend I’ll call Cecil. Cecil graduated from a prestigious liberal arts college on the East Coast in 2006 with a degree in political science.
