  • 5 Reasons We Love Stan the Man (Extended web version)

    By Jarrett Medlin
  • What It's Like to be a NFL Referee (Extended web version)
    On occasion, Robert Wagner used to find himself at the bottom of a pile of three or four 300-pound men. It wasn’t some kind of fetish—just another day at the office for a guy who spent 20 years in the National Football League as a zebra, or referee.
