uh, yeah

that ""stopper" line of Andy McClement, Brad Winchester and B.J. Crombeen" really gets the job done out there! Especially that Andy McClement. He really knows how to work the boards. And he’s dreamy! (because, you know, he’s not a real person)

A Mormon and a moron want to run a football team. I hope no one expects them to get better anytime soon.

The one upside to living in Wisconsin: I don’t have to follow the Rams. And most of the bars in walking distance of my apt offer free shots on Packer TDs and free food of some sort during the game.

Go Packers!
