Can't we just have one nice thing without ruining it? Apparently not. Freddy, America's favorite World Cup fan, is now America's favorite punching bag. The gas explosion in Oak Cliff that killed three people. Was it the contractors, the city, or the gas company? The answer: yes. Two love stories in New York City -- one on top of the Empire State Building and the other at Madison Square Garden. So many fireworks shows, so little time. John Liddle has the 4th of July rundown as he takes us Around Town. Four people charged in a horrific case of child neglect in Ohio. 16 kids -- from infants to teenagers -- crammed into one bedroom. With LeBron leaving, the Los Angeles Lakers are rapidly becoming the whitest team in the NBA. Is this is a problem? Some say yes. Just 16 when he stormed the beaches at Normandy, a D-Day veteran finally gets his Purple Heart, with a little help from his friends. It was either a nasty prank, or a very smart animal. Either way, imagine the shock when a man from Colorado opened up his pickup and found a bear inside.

Some dumb people are trying shame Freddy for liking America and the South!
