GuySpeed Editors — Mon, 20 May 2013 13:00:02 +0000

It’s been almost a year since we first laid eyes on 25-year-old Playboy’s Miss June 2012, and we’re still blown away. If you can believe it, modeling is not Kari’s full-time gig. She’s also a full-time medical aesthetician, and a Â part-time student. The modeling is clearly going pretty well, though, since she’s been on Maxim, [...]

Are you into celebrity clothing lines at all? It's not all about frilly things for girls. Bono and Matthew McConaughey have their own clothing lines, and many guys say it's good stuff.

Matthew McConaghey spends a lot of time in Texas and went to school in Austin, and he's been known to get real laid back and play the bongos. How can the clothing line not be cool.

Jen Austin — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:00:19 +0000

Good for you, you've graduated! Now what? You enter the real world with a great education and lots of enthusiasm...and mounds of debt!

We should have taken a poll of SFA grads last Saturday as they walked across the stage to get their diplomas. It varies of course, but the average college graduate leaves school with $35,200 in debt.

Jen Austin — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:00:03 +0000

Men's Health Magazine ranks cities in the US and has come up with a list of the least and the most active. One Texas city made the list of the laziest cities, because the activity level of guys is fairly low.

Can we blame the heat? That encourages all of us to stay indoors and sit on the couch with a beer and some french fries.

Men's Health says the laziest cities, the capitols of sloth, those whose men would rather stay inside and eat chips and watch golf all day include:

"Click It or Ticket" Campaign To Target Violators

Rick St. Nick — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:34:47 +0000

It’s bad enough we have the hands on cell phone users and moronic “texters” screaming down our streets and highways, without so much of a glance of what’s in their rear view mirror, or in the lane next to them, for that matter. Toss in a cavalier driver not wearing a seat belt, and you [...]
